The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses - Chapter 1461

Chapter 1461: Great to Have You (21)

His sister-in-law chuckled wryly and said, “We’re just concerned about you, Brother, but since you’re so certain, we shall not say anything else. However, we really feel like Sis-in-law doesn’t belong to our village. Brother, have you ever asked about her family background in detail?”

“That’s for me to know.”

“Brother, may I say something?”

“Go ahead.”

“I’m sure you know that Kangcheng ended up with lots of debts after his business venture failed a few years ago. Our creditors are hunting us down and constantly pestering us lately. Could you please lend us some money?”

“How much do you need?” asked Tang Yucheng, who was obviously willing to help his younger brother.

“Fifty thousand.”

He agreed right away. As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Wansheng entered the ward and said, “We can lend you the money. After all, Kangcheng is Yucheng’s biological brother. However, you’ll have to sign an IOU. It’d be easy for you to get a loan again if you return the money on time.”

“Sis-in-law, are you worried that we’ll go back on our word and not pay you back? Brother knows what Kangcheng and I are like. Sis-in-law, you’re indirectly telling us that you don’t trust us,” she retorted in displeasure.

“What’s wrong with signing an IOU? Isn’t it just a standard procedure?”

Just as Mu Wansheng was about to continue, Tang Yucheng interjected, “Enough. We’re all family. There’s no need for an IOU.”

Mu Wansheng fell silent after hearing his words.

After Tang Kangcheng and his wife left, Tang Yucheng snapped, “Happy, what you said just now made my brother and his wife feel very uncomfortable. I wouldn’t mind giving them 50 thousand dollars, let alone lend. He’s my biological brother.”

Mu Wansheng stayed silent for a long while before answering, “Money-lending has its own risks. That money was given to you as a form of compensation. I’m just feeling sorry for you.”

“Aren’t you just feeling the pinch because I decided to lend Kangcheng 50 thousand dollars? You’re just upset that you might not get to spend it, aren’t you?”

Tang Yucheng regretted saying those words as soon as he heard himself.

Mu Wansheng swallowed her pride and anger. She did not expect to hear such harsh remarks from him at all.

She was at a loss for words.

She turned around and left with Snowman.

Tang Yucheng wanted to stop her but could not bring himself to.

Mu Wansheng proceeded to pick Mianmian up from Tang Kangcheng’s place.

She returned to the hospital with Tang Mianmian in her arms. However, she did not enter the ward and instead sat on the bench outside. After realizing that it was silent around her and that there seemed to be no one else, she stopped suppressing her emotions and began bawling loudly.

She continued to weep for a long period of time, until she’d finally let out all her pent up frustration.

She instantly felt much better after she was done crying.

Mu Wansheng began to think to herself, Is this the life I really want to lead?

Must I really resign myself to fate?

“Everyone is bound to face obstacles in their lives. Don’t be dejected, everything will get better eventually.” Mu Wansheng was shocked beyond words the moment she heard the voice.

It’s him!

How long has he been sitting beside me!?!

He was probably here before me since there were no longer any sounds after I sat down.

“I’m so sorry.”

He handed her his handkerchief and said, “Your daughter is asleep.”

Fan Shixin only took a casual glance at Tang Mianmian, who was asleep at the moment. If her eyes had been open, he would have definitely been able to tell who she resembled.

Mu Wansheng was not intending to hide or run away. Instead, she continued to remain in her seat with Tang Mianmian in her embrace and Snowman beside her.

She held onto his handkerchief, reminded of the blue, embroidered handkerchief that he had given her in the past. She treasured it dearly and kept it with her at home.

I wonder what color this one is.

“Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it,” he said before standing up.

As soon as he took a few steps forward, Mu Wansheng said, “Wait… a minute.”

Fan Shixin turned around and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Nothing, I just… wanted to thank you.”

Fan Shixin answered with a smile, “You’re welcome.”

His footsteps began to fade and Mu Wansheng stood up as well. She then began walking toward him, carrying her daughter in her arms.

She returned to the ward and placed her daughter onto the empty bed.

Tang Yucheng cleared his throat and asked, “Did you go and pick Mianmian up?”

“Yes,” she answered. Due to the fact that she had covered her face, Tang Yucheng could not tell that she had just cried.

“I didn’t mean to say those words. Don’t get upset.”

“Nah, I know you’re in a terrible mood lately, so… I wasn’t upset.”

“Good that you’re not,” he said in his usual tone. Mu Wansheng thought that he had calmed down greatly.

However, that was not the case.

His temperament was erratic and unpredictable during the treatments, as if he had suffered a huge mental blow. His emotions were extreme, and he often lashed out at those around him. However, Mu Wansheng forced herself to bear with it.

She finally blew up on the day of his discharge.

Tang Mianmian was more than four months old, and it was in the midst of June. Tang Kangcheng and his wife were at the hospital to pick Tang Yucheng up. Mu Wansheng had already bought some food and was planning to have her meal before going home. However, Tang Kangcheng requested for another loan again during the meal.

Mu Wansheng questioned, “You borrowed 50 thousand dollars previously to pay your debts. What is it for this time?”

Tang Kangcheng retorted in displeasure, “I’m borrowing money from my brother, not you. Why are you such a busybody?”

“Your brother is my husband and you’re borrowing money from us. Why can’t I question you?”

At this moment, Tang Kangcheng’s wife interjected, “Sis-in-law, I’m not rubbing salt into your wound, but you’re blind and Brother is disabled now. Who else can you guys rely on other than me, Kangcheng, and your nephew? We’re family. Kangcheng and I are planning to set up a small business because Kangcheng’s health has seriously deteriorated after working for so many years. Brother, I’m sure you understand. We just want all of us to live comfortably.”

Mu Wansheng carried her daughter in her arms and gibed, “I didn’t say anything, did I? I was just making a casual remark. Why do you have to air your grievances about being penniless?”

Tang Yucheng snapped, “Enough! Sis-in-law, I’ll give you my bank account card. You may withdraw the money later.”

Mu Wansheng said, “I’ll go with her.”

He’s being too careless by just giving her his bank account card!

Mu Wansheng knew the importance of taking safety precautions and keeping her guard up!

“Sis-in-law, you’re blind. What’s the point of you tagging along?”

“I can’t see, but the staff at the bank can.”

“Sis-in-law, just how little trust do you have in us? Do you really think that we’d withdraw more than we should? Indeed, you’re just an outsider.”
