ness, saw the ancient cauldron differently from others. At this moment, it emanated a faint medicinal fragrance and spiritual energy that seemed to be tangible.This is not only a medicine cauldron, bu...The Brown family was driven out of Apple City, immediately creating a large vacuum of interests. As one of the four major families, the Lawrence family naturally took advantage of the situation and quickly organized people to seize this vacant piece of cake.
George and Philip were caught up in a frantic flurry of activity, while Ye Fan took Lu Banxia away from the Lawrence family.
After he went out, he asked: "How is the company doing lately"
Lu Banxia replied, "Everything is normal, there are no problems."
"By the way, how's Lan Bingyu doing Has the company arranged a suitable position for her"
Ye Bufan still cared about this old classmate very much. After all, they had shared some friendship during their school days.
And now it's clear that Lan Bingyu hasn't changed much, she's still as innocent and kind as she was back then.
"No, I was originally going to arrange a job position for her, but she suddenly said there was something at home and left that day. I haven't seen her since."
“Oh, you reminded me. She briefly mentioned that day that her father had gone bankrupt and fallen ill, so she must be busy with family matters.”
Ye Bufan said, "Do you have her phone number We can go take a look and see if there's anything we can do to help."
"Yes, she has been calling to ask about you frequently these days."
Lu Banxia said, and dialed out the phone number. Ye Bufan took out his phone and dialed it.
The phone connected quickly, and Lan Bingyu's voice came from the other end.
Whom are you looking for
Because time was tight that day, she didn't even have time to get Ye Bufan's phone number.
"Bingyu, it's me, Ye Bufan."
"My God, is it really Xiao Fan You're out now"
Upon hearing Ye Bufan's voice, Lan Bingyu was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. These days, she had been worried about this man, but there was nothing she could do to help, only secretly worrying.
"Xiaofan, how are you Are you alright"
"I'm fine, thanks."
Ye Bufan asked, "Where are you now Is there something going on at home"
Upon hearing these questions, Lan Bingyu fell silent for a moment before returning from her excitement to a state of calm.
“My father is in the hospital, and he hasn't been doing well these past few days.”
"Which hospital I'll go take a look."
Since it was an old classmate's family matter, Ye Bufan would naturally not ignore it. He wanted to go and see how Blue Bingyu's father was doing.
Lan Bingyu hesitated for a moment, but then said, "Room 801 at St. Mary's Hospital."
"Just a moment, I'll be there soon."
Ye Bufan hung up the phone after finishing his words and told Lu Banxia the address. The two of them drove towards St. Mary's Hospital.
At this moment, in room 801, Lan Bingyu is haggardly guarding a hospital bed.
A middle-aged man in his fifties lay on the bed, looking even more haggard than before. He was thin and pale. It was her father, Lan Guofeng.
On the other side of the bed sat a woman in her forties, around that age where she was past her prime but still had some beauty to her. She was dressed up and quite fashionable.
"I said, Bingyu, look at your father now. As an aunt, I have to say a few words to you. What kind of good person goes to prison You should stay away from those shady people in the future."
Lan Bingyu's mother passed away early. This woman was Luo Meiyun, the wife that Lan Guofeng married after going to the US.
"Auntie, Xiao Fan is my classmate from China. He's not a bad person. This time something happened because of me..."
"Alright, stop talking to me like that. I don't have time for this. Besides, anyone who ends up in prison can't be a good person..."
Luo Meiyun impatiently waved her hand and then said, "Your father is like this now, the medical expenses are spent again, you have to find a way."
"This..."
As soon as money was mentioned, Lan Bingyu's brow furrowed again.
Six months ago, my father's company was scammed by con artists who swindled them out of $50 million, leading to a broken funding chain and the company's bankruptcy.
When his house was in disrepair, it happened to rain all night. Just three months ago, Lan Guofeng was diagnosed with lung cancer.
The medical costs in the U.S. are incredibly high, and after a few months, they completely drained all our savings.
By now, she's thought of every possible solution and borrowed every penny she could. To raise money for her medical expenses, she had to resort to working at Club No. 1.
What worried her the most was that despite spending a fortune, Lan Guofeng's condition had been getting worse and worse, with no improvement whatsoever.
Besides, she is also worried about the future medical expenses. She's really at her wit's end and can't think of where else to get the money.
"Ice Feather, don't just stay silent. You can't just watch your father die like this, can you"
Luo Meiyun said again, "Auntie, there's something I've always wanted to tell you. I really don't understand what you're thinking."
With so many wealthy young masters pursuing you, couldn't you choose one That way, you'd be carefree for the rest of your life, and your father's illness would also be resolved.
Lan Bingyu bit her lip, fell silent for a moment, and then said: "But, I don't like those people!"
"Like what What good is liking something Can liking something buy you money" Luo Meiyun said, "You're still young now, always thinking about those unrealistic love affairs. In reality, that's all just stuff to fool children."
"Just listen to your aunt, I won't cheat you. The most important thing about finding a man is having money; everything else is bull**!"
This time, Lan Bingyu lowered her head and remained silent. She harbored no goodwill towards this aunt, for in her eyes, the woman was only with her father for his money.
Over the past few years, Lan Guofeng has placed immense trust in her. He has not only spent a fortune on her but also appointed her as Deputy General Manager of the company.
Since her father got sick, this woman completely changed. She's become incredibly stingy.
Constantly trying to find ways to raise money, constantly introducing herself to wealthy young men, hoping to marry into wealth.
If it weren't for her seriously ill father in bed, she would have argued with Luo Meiyun long ago.
"You little rascal, why are you silent now Don't you tell me where the medical expenses come from"
Lan Bingyu bit her lip and finally said, "Aunt Luo, my father has given you a lot of money over the years, right Why don't you take out some of it first, and I'll pay you back after my illness is cured."
"What, you're asking me for money Where would I even get money"
Hearing that she was supposed to pay from her own pocket, Luo Meiyun's head immediately shook like a rattle. "Although your father gave me some money, it was all earned through my labor and I already spent it all. There's simply no money left."
Seeing her like this, Lan Bingyu could only shake her head secretly. It seemed that this woman was completely unreliable.
Just then, the door to the ward was kicked open with a bang, and a dozen or so young thugs dressed in colorful clothes swaggered in.
He was a tall, white young man with a mohawk hairstyle, his hair dyed fiery red. He had earrings in his ears, a nose ring, and a thick gold chain around his neck.
Beside him was a Chinese American young man about 20 years old, wearing jeans. He also looked rather handsome.
Lan Bingyu was slightly surprised to see these people. She said to the young man of Chinese descent, "Ma Kai, how did you get here"
Mo Xi grinned and said, "What else could I do Of course, I'm here to collect the debt."y. In this situation, he naturally wouldn't feel comfortable confronting the person, so he could only turn around and run away."Stop right there, you little thief! Where do you think you're going"The...
