After Jin Juan triumphantly spread the news of Liu Chunsheng’s family’s debts everywhere.
She secretly called Chen Haidi when the Liu father and son were not home, asking Chen Haidi to pick her up.
Chen Daodi had just managed to send his mother-in-law away, so how could he easily take her back?
He made excuses, saying:
“Mom, no matter how you are doing over there, you’ve returned to your own son’s home, so just bear with it. Besides, if you come back to our place now, you won’t be living any better than your elder brother’s family, would you?”
Hearing Chen Daodi’s words, Jin Juan became furious and cursed:
“You good-for-nothing! You sent me here and now you won’t take me back. These people make me do this and that every day. I might as well go back and help you look after Lele!”
Liu Yanyan, hearing Jin Juan’s words, said into the phone:
“Mom, don’t worry! Liu Yifeng must be lying to you. The other day I heard someone say they saw my elder brother driving a car with a beautiful woman, taking Tongtong out for Western food!”
Hearing her daughter’s words, Jin Juan’s heart steadied a bit, and she said:
“Really? You rascal, you’d better not lie to me!”
“It’s true, it’s true! How dare I lie to you? My friend even took photos and sent them to me!”
“Alright then, since you say so, I’ll investigate further to see if they are deceiving me.”
Since Jin Juan had been cooking for the past few days, Liu Yifeng hadn’t told her that the family didn’t need to buy vegetables, as he himself grew them.
Jin Juan gossiped to everyone she met in Liu Family Village every day, but no one was willing to pay attention to her.
Liu Yifeng’s family and the villagers of Liu Family Village had also been repeatedly warned by the village chief not to gossip.
Therefore, Jin Juan did not know that Liu Yifeng was actually in the vegetable business, and that he was doing very well.
In order to get some money from Liu Yifeng every day, she falsely claimed she needed to buy this and that to furnish the house, saying that without a mistress of the house, there was no festive atmosphere for the upcoming new year.
Liu Yifeng didn’t say much about it either, giving Jin Juan three hundred yuan every day for her to buy things.
However, Jin Juan’s cooking skills were not very good to begin with, and the dishes she made were even less appetizing. Tongtong, a little foodie, would usually only eat a few mouthfuls of rice after returning home, and then retreat to his study.
Seeing that his son had no appetite for his food, Liu Yifeng often took him to Su Wanru’s house for extra meals.
When Su Wanru learned about Liu Yifeng’s family situation, she suggested that Tongtong stay with her for a few days. Liu Yifeng felt sorry for Tongtong but refused, fearing that Jin Juan would notice something.
However, Liu Yifeng also decided to speed up the process of dealing with Jin Juan’s matter.
After a few days of investigation, he finally understood that Jin Juan had kidney problems. This time, she came to his home not only to cover the cost of surgery but also to ask Liu Yifeng to donate a kidney. She also wanted to "cast a long line to catch a big fish" and have him support her whole family.
In the evening, Jin Juan prepared dinner at home, waiting for the Liu father and son to return for the meal.
At the dinner table, Jin Juan feigned discomfort and said:
“Ah, I haven’t been feeling well lately. I want to go to the hospital to see a doctor.”
Hearing this, Liu Yifeng agreed and said:
“Okay, you go!”
The next day, Jin Juan went to the city hospital and asked her doctor:
“Doctor, when can my surgery be performed?”
The doctor replied:
“Well, we haven’t found a kidney source for you yet. However, your current physical condition is not very good. You can arrange to be admitted to the hospital for observation for the next couple of days.”
“Okay! Doctor, no problem. I’ll call my son today to arrange for my hospitalization!”
Jin Juan made a call to Liu Yifeng’s phone:
“Yifeng! The doctor said there’s some problem with my kidneys. I didn’t understand the details. Come quickly to see me!”
Liu Chunsheng, who was nearby, heard Jin Juan’s call and went to the hospital with Liu Yifeng.
At the hospital, Liu Yifeng asked the doctor again. The doctor said that the surgery would not only require a surgical fee of three hundred thousand yuan but also waiting for a suitable kidney source.
As Jin Juan’s biological son, Liu Yifeng was bound to be tested for compatibility.
And when Liu Yifeng learned that Jin Juan needed a kidney transplant, he realized Jin Juan’s scheme. He secretly underwent compatibility testing and found that he was not a match.
This time, he was tested again at the hospital under Jin Juan’s watchful eyes. Upon hearing the result, Jin Juan became anxious:
“Son, why don’t you sell your car? Let’s spend a little more money and buy a kidney for Mom!”
Liu Chunsheng said beside her:
“Can a kidney be bought just like that? We can’t do anything illegal!”
“No matter how capable Yifeng is, he can’t conjure a kidney for you! Besides, you want him to sell his car, but that car is also borrowed from someone else!”
Hearing Liu Chunsheng’s words, Jin Juan immediately felt as if she were dying:
“You two father and son are truly cursed. Not only did you borrow millions, but you also borrowed someone’s car to pretend to be rich! What did I ever do to owe your family?”
Pointing at Liu Yifeng, she cried:
“You can’t even help your own mother get a kidney transplant! It would have been better if I hadn’t aborted you and given birth to you!”
Although Liu Yifeng no longer expected much love from his mother, and even though he was almost thirty, had become a father, and achieved some success, hearing these words still made Liu Yifeng clench his fists.
Jin Juan’s scolding of Liu Yifeng and his father was spread online by some busybodies. After some manipulation by Zhou Dong, the owner of Jing Tian Hotel, who harbored resentment towards Liu Yifeng, the incident was amplified online, causing a slight impact on the vegetable company, which had just started to get on track.
Some cooperation partners who were unaware of the situation began to demand lower prices for his vegetables. Liu Yifeng refused, preferring not to cooperate rather than lower his prices, as his vegetables had never sold below double digits since their initial release.
Zhao Shubo, upon learning of the situation, knew it was time to return the favor. Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, he returned to the Zhao family and contacted Liu Yifeng, inviting him to meet.
Liu Yifeng was in a desperate situation regarding this matter. When he received Zhao Shubo’s call, saying he could help resolve the issue, he gladly accepted the invitation.
Zhao Shubo said to Liu Yifeng:
“The legal team of my company is very reliable. If you entrust this matter to me, Brother Liu, I will definitely handle it properly for you!”
“Thank you for your help, Mr. Zhao! I really need a reliable legal team. You are truly a timely savior! You have helped me solve my immediate problem. I will visit you once the matter is resolved!”
“Brother Liu, what are you talking about? If it weren’t for Tongtong, I don’t know where I would be right now?”
“Also, although your vegetable company is gradually on track, it is still in a relatively fragile stage. You should pay more attention to public opinion in the future!”
“Mr. Zhao, you are right! I pay close attention to this matter usually. Doing business requires good credibility and image. As a company owner, I should pay even more attention to this aspect. Indeed, one can easily fall into a trap if not careful! Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Zhao!”
After their conversation, Zhao Shubo introduced the head of his legal team to Liu Yifeng.
Liu Yifeng was decisive in his actions, sending lawyer’s letters to all those who had spread rumors online.
After the rumor issue was resolved, Liu Yifeng’s vegetable company’s image became even more reliable. The problem of reducing vegetable supply, which was initially planned, was also met with understanding.
Those business partners who had previously broken their contracts with Liu Yifeng deeply regretted missing out on a good opportunity to make money.
