Chapter 221 Biased

Yuan Zhuo said, “I think Feng Ge makes sense.

There must be something fishy going on that we don’t know about, maybe they gave money to those two Da Shao, or maybe they are relatives, or maybe they made a deal with that woman.

In short, this must be a setup targeting us, otherwise those two wouldn’t have appeared so coincidentally.

Feng Ge is still amazing; he saw through the flaw at a glance.”

Luo Feng said proudly, “They think they can fool me, Luo, how could it be so easy!”

Zhang Xue said, “Feng Ge’s insight is still sharp.

All of us were fooled, thinking that kid was really something.”

Zhao Meng said, “Feng Ge, what should we do then?”

“What to do?

The reason they are doing this is to get that woman into Longteng Pharmaceutical.

With me here, I definitely won’t let them succeed.

Tomorrow morning, remember to guard the main entrance.

If that woman doesn’t come, then so be it, but if she comes, directly kick her out and don’t give her a chance to interview.”

A fierce look flashed across Luo Feng’s face, “That An Yimo, she doesn’t want to get into my bed but wants to get a job.

How can there be such a cheap thing.”

“Yes, Feng Ge.”

Zhao Meng agreed without hesitation.

Ye Bufan and An Yimo got into the car, and he said, “I’m sorry, I couldn’t help you much today.”

“I should be the one saying I’m sorry; I caused you such big trouble,” An Yimo said with gratitude, “I really have to thank you today.”

She secretly rejoiced in her heart, fortunately she brought Ye Bufan today, otherwise whether it was Luo Feng and his people, or the later He Pengfei and others, she wouldn't have been able to handle them, and the outcome might have been very miserable.

“Forget it, let’s not be so formal between us,” Ye Bufan said, “Where to? I’ll give you a ride.”

“No, that’s okay, I can go back by myself.”

“It’s so late, how can I let a girl walk alone.”

Ye Bufan said as he started the car.

“Okay then, Chengzhong Village.”

Although An Yimo was a bit embarrassed to reveal where she lived, she thought about it and realized she didn't even have money for a taxi, and walking back so late would indeed be unsafe.

Ye Bufan was slightly startled, clearly surprised that a woman like An Yimo lived in Chengzhong Village.

Although he didn’t say anything, An Yimo still keenly sensed the change in his expression and changed the subject, saying, “You drank so much, can you still drive?”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page).

If she didn’t mention it, he certainly wouldn't ask further.

“Do I look like I’ve been drinking?”

As a Profound Rank master, when he was drinking just now, he had already expelled all the alcohol from his body.

As long as he wanted to, he wouldn’t get drunk even if he drank a thousand or ten thousand cups.

The car drove forward unhurriedly, and a brief silence fell inside the car.

Just then, a melodious music sound rang out; it was An Yimo’s phone.

She picked up the phone and glanced at it, then looked at Ye Bufan, but ultimately pressed the answer button.

Ye Bufan was a bit puzzled; wasn't it just answering a call?

Why did she look so troubled?

But soon he understood the reason.

As soon as the call connected, he heard a woman inside furiously roaring, “You little brat, what were you doing just now?

Why didn’t you answer when I called several times?”

A hint of panic flashed across An Yimo’s face.

She covered the phone’s microphone with her hand and whispered, “I went to a bar with a friend just now.

It was too noisy there, so I didn’t hear it.”

“What, it’s been two months and you haven’t sent any money home, and you still have the nerve to go carousing in a place like a bar?

What exactly do you want to do?

Do you still have your mother in your eyes, do you still have this family?”

Although An Yimo tried her best to muffle the sound coming from her phone, the woman’s shouting was simply too loud, like a loudspeaker, and Ye Bufan couldn’t help but hear it.

An Yimo whispered, “Mom, don’t worry, I’ll send money home in a while.”

“What do you mean, don’t worry?

If you don’t give money, what will your brother and sister-in-law and I eat?

Still waiting for a while, are we supposed to starve?”

“Mom, don’t worry, I’ll send money home as soon as possible.

I have something to do here, so I’ll hang up first.”

An Yimo clearly didn’t want to say much in front of Ye Bufan.

After comforting the woman for a few words, she hung up the phone, then looked at him with some embarrassment.

Ye Bufan’s expression didn’t change much.

He said, “You have a lot of family members, it must be very lively, right?”

An Yimo nodded: “I live with my parents, younger brother, and sister-in-law.”

“Are your parents very old?”

An Yimo shook her head, “Not too old, in their early 50s.”

Ye Bufan said, “Are your family members not in good health?

If needed, I can go and examine them.

You know, my Medical skill is pretty good.”

From the content of the recent call, he judged that An Yimo’s family (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) seemed to have only her working, and everyone else needed to be supported.

In his opinion, those people must be in poor health, and in such a situation, he was willing to help.

An Yimo shook her head again and said, “No, they are all in very good health.”

“Ah?” Ye Bufan said with some surprise, “Since there are no health problems, then why don’t they go out and work themselves, always asking you for money?”

“This…” An Yimo hesitated for a moment.

She thought that the content of the call had already been heard, so she no longer hid it and said, “My parents said that they raised me so big, and now it’s my time to repay them.

So ever since I started working, they’ve been staying at home.

My income used to be okay, and life was manageable, but recently I lost my job and don’t have money to give them, which is why my mom got angry.”

“Uh…” Although Ye Bufan was a bit surprised, he didn’t say much.

He then asked, “What about your younger brother and sister-in-law?

Why don’t they go out and work?

Logically speaking, they also have an obligation to support your parents, right?”

Although he didn’t ask how old An Yimo’s younger brother was, since he already had a wife, he must also be an adult.

An Yimo said, “They looked for jobs a few times before, either they disliked the boss not treating them well enough, or they found the work too tiring, or they thought the salary was too low.

In short, they couldn’t stick with any job for more than a few days, and later they simply stayed at home and didn’t go out to work.”

“How can it be okay for young people not to work?

What do your parents say?”

An Yimo said, “My mom said that my younger brother is delicate and not suitable for suffering outside.

Now the most important job is to stay at home with his wife and have a child, so they can hold a Grandson early.”

“What do you mean?

You’re the only one working, and now it’s not enough to support four people, you also have to raise their child?”

Although it had nothing to do with Ye Bufan, a surge of anger still rose in his heart.

What kind of parents are these, how can they be so biased?

It’s as if their daughter working herself to death and enduring contempt outside is normal, while their son, being delicate, should enjoy an easy life at home.

Where is the Dao in that?

An Yimo whispered, “No matter what, they are my relatives, and it’s right for me to earn money for them to spend.”

Ye Bufan said, “But you can’t support them your whole life, can you?

Your parents might be one thing, but continuously supporting your younger brother and sister-in-law, what kind of situation is that?

And you will also have your own family in the future, and your own children.

You can’t keep going on like this forever, can you?”
