Chapter 2346: Chapter 2347: Dilemma

“120 million!”

Both families gasped.

“He told me such, it should be worth that much.” Gu Yiran glanced at his watch and said:

“Uncle and Auntie, I’ll discuss the matter later, I need to leave now.”

Gu Yiran didn’t pay much attention, opened the car door, and left with Lin Yi.

“This, how can this be, Gu Yiran’s colleague, he actually drives a 120 million car?” Li Qiao Hong said in surprise.

“I don’t know, I’ve never even dreamed of seeing that much money.”

“But that young man driving the car, he seems pretty good, and handsome too.” Li Qiao Hong deliberately said.

“Indeed, he seems quite good.”

“That Old Gu, we have other matters, so we’ll leave first,” Li Xingqing said awkwardly.

“If you have things to do, I won’t keep you, let’s meet up another time.”

“Alright, alright…”

The Li family awkwardly got into the car and quickly drove away.

After leaving Gu Yiran’s uncle’s house, the two drove to Li Xianghui’s place.

Li Xianghui’s home was also in an ordinary community, not old but not new either, with complete living facilities, quite convenient to reside in.

In contrast, a place like Jiuzhou Pavilion seemed less lively.

“Have you been in touch with Brother Li recently? How’s he doing?”

“I picked him up from the hospital the day before yesterday, but he seemed a bit unhappy,” Gu Yiran adjusted his hair, his mood also somewhat downcast, he sighed:

“Don’t be fooled by how Brother Li tends not to compete or fight, it’s because we are young, and he let’s us have our way, but actually he is also competitive. Now with this incident, he clearly understands that he can’t return to his original job, and it’s even questionable if he can live like a normal person, I think he’s still not over it, even if you hadn’t called me yesterday, I would have contacted you and we’d still need to visit.”

“Some things can’t be forced; recovering to this level is already not bad,” Lin Yi said:

“It’s up to his own willpower now. There are similar cases in the medical field that have also recovered, we shouldn’t be too pessimistic, let’s think about it positively.”

“Okay, ah…”

Gu Yiran was mentored by Li Xianghui, so their relationship was like that of master and disciple, hence he kept him in mind.

About half an hour later, the two parked the car at the residential block where Li Xianghui lived.

Just like earlier, when the car arrived, it caught the attention of many, with some young men and women taking several photos with their phones.

Lin Yi didn’t pay much attention, and together with Gu Yiran, carrying gifts, they entered Li Xianghui’s home.

“Hey, what brings you here?”

The door was opened by Zhang Wenli, who warmly welcomed Lin Yi and Gu Yiran into the house.

Li Xianghui’s home was not large, the usable space being around 60 square meters, enough for a family of three without feeling cramped.

Upon entering the house, they saw Li Xianghui sitting on the sofa, with a pair of crutches beside him.

“Hello, Uncle, Auntie,” said Li Xianghui’s daughter to the two.

Gu Yiran patted her head, “I heard you ranked second in your finals? Well done.”

The girl grinned, “I’ll try to be the first next time.”

“If you can become the first, how about I take you to Disney?”

“We agreed then, no lying.” The girl said seriously.

“Auntie never lies to you, if you become the first, I’ll take you.”

“Let’s pinky promise.” The girl held out her little finger.

“Go do your homework, all you think about is playing,” Li Xianghui chided.

“Guh guh guh…” The girl made a face, full of innocence, seemingly unaware of how serious her father’s leg injury was.

The girl obediently went back into the room, while Lin Yi and Gu Yiran settled down next to him.

Meanwhile, Zhang Wenli brought out washed fruits and placed them on the coffee table.

“You two just come, why buy anything? It troubled you so much at the hospital; I feel bad about it.”

“It’s what we should do; Brother Li took good care of us at the precinct, too.”

“You guys sit here, I’ll go cook. Lunch will be eaten here; don’t go.”

“Sister-in-law, please don’t trouble yourself, we have other things to do, we won’t eat here,” Gu Yiran said.

“It’s almost noon, we’re about to have lunch, just eat something here, don’t be shy.”

Seeing Zhang Wenli’s enthusiasm, the two felt it hard to refuse, and thus nodded in agreement.

“Brother Li, how is it going, can you walk?” Lin Yi asked.

Li Xianghui patted his left leg, “I still can’t bear weight.”

“You’re being too anxious, let the wound heal a little longer, otherwise, it could be counterproductive.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about me,” Li Xianghui said with a smile:

“Let’s have a good drink later.”

“Don’t, in your current state, you shouldn’t drink, better treat your wound first,” Gu Yiran said:

“After the new year, when everyone is together, we can drink then.”

“Drinking a little bit is okay; don’t be too rigid,” Lin Yi said.

Gu Yiran rolled her eyes, feeling helpless against Lin Yi, and then went to the kitchen to help Zhang Wenli with lunch.

“Sister-in-law, don’t you have work today?”

“With Brother Li like this and also needing to pick up the kid, I can’t really work, so I requested two months off from the hospital, we’ll see after this period.”

“Why didn’t you say earlier, we could have helped pick up your child.”

Gu Yiran did this intending to encourage Zhang Wenli to keep working.

Although Brother Li is currently on paid leave, according to the policy, he only receives the basic wage, which isn’t much. If Zhang Wenli also had to take leave, the family’s financial situation would be greatly affected, making it difficult to get by.

“You also have your own things to handle, how can you devote all your energy to our family,” Zhang Wenli said with a bitter twist of a smile, if she had the choice, she too would rather be working.

“The house still has a mortgage, and the child needs money for school, just relying on Brother Li’s base salary probably isn’t enough.”

“I contacted the community’s property management for a home-based silent job. It’s quite flexible, allows me to earn some money, and also take care of your Brother Li until this period is over.”

“Sister-in-law, if you face difficulties, just tell us. My money might not be much, but I also have tens of thousands of dollars, I can transfer it to Brother Li.”

“Don’t, you know what kind of person your Brother Li is, you are his apprentice, how could he accept your money, that would be like slapping him in the face,” Zhang Wenli said gratefully:

“I’ve noted your concern, no need to worry about us.”

“If there’s anything you need our help with, you must tell us.”

“Okay”

Ding Ding Ding—

While the two were busy preparing lunch, someone knocked urgently at the door.
