Chapter 1135: Why Does He Have To Give All His Money Just For A Little Bastard?
Yu Meilin looked at the closed door for a moment and then turned to Wei Xiaoqing. "Don't worry anymore. Since your father said that he will prepare the money, then he will definitely do it. It's already late, so you should go upstairs and sleep first."
"Alright!" Wei Xiaoqing looked at the tightly closed door for a long time before slowly walking down the corridor.
After Wei Xiaoqing left, Yu Meilin stood outside the door of the study for a while.
She hesitated for a long time and wanted to open the door to check Hou Shihong's progress in preparing the money, but she was afraid that if she pushed him too hard, he would feel disgusted.
Yu Meilin thought for a long time and finally decided to leave.
Hou Shihong sat alone in his study. When he thought about the money, his heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys ached.
He was already old, and his two sons could not be relied upon at all. Neither of them could take over his business and let him enjoy the blessings of old age.
It was not easy for him to save up so much money, but he had to give it all away for a little bastard?
That was a great loss!
The more Hou Shihong thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He took a cigarette and put it in his mouth before lighting it. Even after the smoke had spread around the room, he still had not started preparing the money.
At 12 of the clock, midnight, Yu Meilin saw that Hou Shihong had not yet gone upstairs to sleep. She went downstairs in her nightgown and knocked on the door of the study.
Hou Shihong's voice came from inside, "What is it?"
"I..." Yu Meilin licked her lips and said in an ingratiating manner, "I just wanted to ask you, how is it going?"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Hou Shihong's angry voice suddenly sounded, "You think a hundred million is like ten thousand? I don't need time to prepare for it?"
Yu Meilin was so frightened that she took a few steps back. Her fingers gripped her nightgown tightly. She did not dare to say anything. She just said "Oh," slowly before reluctantly leaving.
Hou Shihong did not feel sleepy at all. His mind was filled with worry and about how he didn't want to hand over the money.
However, if he did not hand it over, Han Yuanjun, Liang Zixuan, and Liang Jiahao would definitely not help them save the child, and he would definitely become the target of a thousand attacks.
The ashtray was full of cigarette butts. Hou Shihong pushed the ashtray forcefully, and cigarette ash and cigarette butts immediately rushed out and spilled onto the table.
He looked at the cigarette butts on the table and sighed.
There was a safe in the study that only he knew about, not even Yu Meilin knew of its existence.
But she knew that Hou Shihong's safe contained his life-saving items, some gold bars, and cash.
Hou Shihong stood up and walked over to the safe. He opened the safe with his password and took out stacks of cash one by one.
When he had nothing to do at night, he liked to lock the door of the study and then squat in front of the safe to count the money, which was his pleasure.
At this moment, Hou Shihong really didn't feel fun when counting the money. On the other hand, he only felt heartache.
Just as he was about to count the money, something suddenly crossed his mind.
As if he had been injected with chicken blood, he immediately took all the money out of the safe, went to the side drawer, and took out a new stack of white papers.
"With such a large amount of money, He Wuhan can't possibly count them one by one, can he?"
Hou Shihong smiled proudly and squatted on the floor. He cut up the paper and packed it like a stack of money.
? ? ?
Yu Meilin didn't sleep all night.
If Hou Shihong didn't go upstairs, she wouldn't be able to sleep.
In her mind, she kept thinking about whether he managed to prepare the money.
When the first rays of sunlight shone into the room through the window curtains, Yu Meilin immediately sat down on the bed. Looking at the sky outside, she ran downstairs excitedly with a pair of panda eyes. She didn't even wash her face or brush her hair.
"Hubby!" Yu Meilin knocked on the door and called out, "Are you inside?"
Hou Shihong had been busy all night and his work was almost finished. The matter was finally settled, and now when he heard Yu Meilin's voice, it sounded more pleasant to his ears.
He stood up, stretched out his body, and then said in a good mood. "I'm inside."
Yu Meilin rubbed her chest and asked nervously, "Then... about the money..."
"It's done!" Hou Shihong said as he walked to the door. When he opened the door, he saw Yu Meilin's dirty face and joked with her. "Have you seen your face this morning? You aren't young anymore. You didn't wear any makeup, and I had thought that a ghost was standing in front of the door."
A ghost?!
Yu Meilin was about to throw a tantrum, but seeing Hou Shihong was in a good mood and teasing her, she suddenly felt happy. She quickly pulled Hou Shihong's hand and asked, "Did you really prepare all the money?"
Hou Shihong smiled and nodded, "Yes."
Yu Meilin laughed excitedly, "Really? All the money is there?"
Hou Shihong raised his hand to brush Yu Meilin's tangled hair and said in a rare gentle tone. "Don't worry, it's all there. After all, the child is still our flesh and blood grandson. How could I not care about him and mind that small amount of money?"
Yu Meilin was so happy that she threw herself into Hou Shihong's embrace. "Hubby, you're really a great husband!"
After saying that, she kissed Hou Shihong's face warmly, just like the female lead in the romance series.
Hou Shihong's face turned red as he looked at the door. When he saw that the servants didn't come, he smiled and put Yu Meilin down. "We're an old couple, but you still want to act coquettishly with me."
"What's wrong with that?" Yu Meilin shyly pulled Hou Shihong's hand and shook it, "Can't we strengthen our relationship? Who says such things can only be done by young people? We have been married for decades. Our two sons are grown up, so this is the time for us to strengthen our relationship again."
Hou Shihong was in a good mood and didn't argue with Yu Meilin about this. He patted her shoulder and said, "Alright, go upstairs and take a shower. Then put on your makeup. After breakfast, we'll go to the police station."
