C9 For the Gift Money

But what was he going to do about it? How was she going to collect the money in a matter of days? To borrow?

She didn't have many friends, so she couldn't afford to borrow money. Furthermore, she had already divorced Mo Nian Chen, let alone have any connections with him! Thinking of this, Meng Yi Lan felt both sad and helpless.

"Why don't we ask our friends around us to lend us some now? At least we can use it for a few days. Otherwise, sitting down and waiting for death is not a solution! "

Song Yu suggested to Meng Yi Lan. Meng Yi Lan also felt that her words were reasonable, and that was all she could do for now.

Thus, they spent two consecutive days on the road to borrow money. However, their imaginations were always beautiful, and no one could come up with any extra money to help them.

While Meng Yilan was worrying about the medical expenses, Meng Yilan's mother suddenly pulled Meng Yilan into the ward one night.

"Yi Lan, I know that your father's medical fees are not easy to collect. Even after so long, we still haven't managed to gather enough money, so if you don't think of a way, your father will probably die in the hospital. The second phase surgeon has said that we must do it as soon as possible! Therefore, there's no need to delay the issue of the medical fees! "

"Mom!" Hearing this, Meng Yi Lan raised her voice angrily, "What are you talking about!?" Daddy will be fine! "

"Do you think you're acting? Your father's illness? "It's not like you don't know how serious it is. We have to raise enough money to pay for the hospital!"

"How do I raise it? We're already trying! But... "But …"

"There's no other way, I've already found a way."

Meng Yi Lan was startled. She looked at her mother with suspicion, "What method?"

He saw Meng Yi Lan's mother take out her phone and place a picture of a man in front of her. The man looked to be in his forties, and his fat body gave off a greasy smell.

"Marry him! As long as we agree to marry him, we will receive a gift from him. Not only can this gift save your father, it will also allow your father and your brother to enjoy the best treatment! "

"Mom!?"

Meng Yi Lan looked at her mother with disbelief, "How can you do that? I... I don't even know him. You want me to marry him? "

In order to get the gift money, she wanted to marry a middle-aged man that she had never met before. What was the difference between this and a prostitute from ancient times?! No matter what he said, Meng Yilan would not agree to it!

Seeing her resolute attitude, Meng Yilan's mother was enraged. She suddenly growled at her, "Then how can you not move to save your father? Do you really want to see your father die? Watching your brother suffer? Back then, the two of them always protected you at home, even if you were not your father's own, he would still treat you like his own.

Her mother's words were like a million needles stabbing into her heart. She knew how good her father was to her, and she also knew that she should do everything she could to raise the medical expenses. But to marry her to such a man, she … She couldn't convince herself no matter how hard she tried.

Meng Yi Lan's mother's eyes turned blood-red as she scolded her, "Even if your father becomes a ghost, he won't let you off! Even the heavens will not let you go! Ask yourself if you still have a conscience! You don't want to do such a small thing for your father?! Do you still have a conscience?! "

She seemed to have lost her mind as she continued to criticize Meng Yilan. Each and every sentence she said made it so that Meng Yilan couldn't think of any rebuttal words to say. Yes, she was selfish and couldn't agree to these conditions because she had to think for herself.

"Miss Meng!" Is Miss Meng here? "

Suddenly, a nurse ran over and asked him, "Did something happen to my dad?" Meng Yi Lan knew she was the one who was taking care of her father, so she asked anxiously.

The nurse nodded. "Something has happened. We'll just wait for Doctor Ji to arrive. You guys don't have to worry about it …"

Before the nurse could finish her words, Meng Yi Lan had already rushed out towards her father's ward! Just as he reached the door, he saw the doctor enter the ward and close the door. Passing through the outside room, Meng Yi Lan saw her father lying on the bed with tubes all over his body. His entire body was twitching and spitting out saliva.

Meng Yi Lan covered her mouth tightly and looked at the scene before her with extreme discomfort. At that moment, she had lost to her own persistence!

She didn't want to see her father suffer any more. She didn't want anything to happen to him!

Her father's concerned words still echoed in her ears. At that moment, after a thousand struggles, she finally made up her mind. For the sake of that money, she could betray herself!

She waited until her father had stabilized before she agreed to do so in front of her mother. When Meng Yilan's mother saw that she had let go, her anger gradually subsided and she started to arrange the meeting time for the two of them.

In order to get the fee as soon as possible, the meeting was arranged for the next afternoon.

Under the pressure of her mother, Meng Yilan was dressed well. She was originally well-off. However, after carefully dressing up, her beauty became even more eye-catching.

Meng Yi Lan's mother seemed determined to do it, nodding her head and warning her, "He is a proud and arrogant person, no matter what he says, you have to endure it with a smile! "Otherwise, if you don't get the gift money, your father will …"

"I know."

Meng Yilan interrupted her mother and left the hospital.

She knew what she should do. Right now, she was the one asking for help. Even if she was being humble, she could only obey.

The meeting place was arranged to be in a high-class restaurant in the city, and Meng arrived on time, but there was no sign of the man. She chose a seat close to the window and sat down, watching the time pass by slowly. The juice in front of her had already been changed into two glasses.

Just when she thought the man wouldn't come, he suddenly appeared behind Meng Yilan.

"Miss Meng?"

Hearing the voice, Meng Yi Lan showed a polite smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Lin. I am Meng Yi Lan."

This Mr. Lin was strong and fat, but he was not honest at all. Instead, he had a sense of shrewdness about him. His aloof gaze did not seem to put anyone in its eyes.

He purposely looked at Meng Yi Lan without any trace of restraint. Meng Yi Lan was a little displeased to be looked at so plainly.

The man looked at her as if he were examining something. "Miss Meng's appearance suits my taste. I don't know how she looks inside."

His words made Meng Yi Lan speechless for a while. She could only smile to avoid being embarrassed.

The man sat down across from her and asked the waiter to come over and order a table of food. After he was done, he asked Meng Yilan what she wanted to eat and directly said, "Miss Meng, you should be full after drinking two glasses of fruit juice, right?"

He then called the waiter to leave.

Before Meng Yilan could say anything, the man continued, "I believe Miss Meng has heard about the gift money. It's a very small amount, as long as Miss Meng is obedient and stays home, I won't treat you unfairly."
