Consolation Visit
Without waiting for Ming Liuyi to speak, You Lingling quickly introduced them. “Liuyi, this is the Head Secretary of the foundation, Huang Jingting. Head Secretary Huang, this is Ming Liuyi.”
Huang Jingting looked at Ming Liuyi with a smile, unable to hide the admiration she felt. Ming Liuyi was so young, yet she could donate 200,000 Yuan in one go. If it were not for the daily transfer limit, she would have donated even more. Because of this, Huang Jingting naturally thought that Ming Liuyi was a charming young lady. She had not expected her to be well-dressed and approachable. She did not even complain when she walked into such a narrow alley.
Actually, a similar incident had happened before. Other rich people who came to visit them thought they were better than others, and insisted on staying in their cars.?The reason for this was that they could not let their limited-edition shoes get stained with oil, let alone wear them outside. They drove the car into the alley, causing all the vendors to close down for the day. In the end, it did not achieve the effect of consolation at all, and it was very unsightly. On top of that, when it came to the families, the rich people made all kinds of complaints. They only smiled when it was time to take photographs.
It was precisely because of this that Huang Jingting had been very skeptical when she chose Ming Liuyi to visit the families. She had communicated in advance for fear that such a situation would occur. If it were not for You Lingling’s recommendation, she would have been scared of this kind of rich young lady.
The family members were on the fourth floor, so the three of them did not waste any time and quickly went upstairs.
Although the corridor was old and dilapidated, it was very clean. There were no messy advertisement stickers on the walls. It could be seen that the people here loved their homes.
When she arrived at door number 401, Huang Jingting knocked on the door three times.
The person who answered the door must have been notified much earlier and had been on standby, so the door was opened instantly.
The person who answered the door was a little girl who looked to be about five or six years old. She looked at the three of them timidly and said, “Hello. Are you here to see my father?”
Huang Jingting quickly crouched down and looked her in the eye, saying, “That’s right, I also know who you are. You’re called He Luorong, can I call you Rongrong?”
He Luorong seemed to have just realized her shyness. She raised her little hand and quickly covered her mouth, then turned and ran. “Mommy, come quickly!”
Hong Huajin heard the noise and came out of the kitchen in a hurry. She brought slippers for Ming Liuyi and the others and welcomed them inside. “Have you had breakfast? I made wontons today, do you want to have some?”
You Lingling was just about to refuse when Huang Jingting reached out and patted her, then smiled and said, “We’ve all eaten a little before we came, but we still want to try your cooking, Ms. Hong.”
“It’s good that you don’t mind.” Hong Huajin smiled.
“Wontons are my favorite. Thank you, Ms. Hong,” You Lingling finally said.
“My husband’s in the bedroom,” Hong Huajin said with a gentle smile. “I’ll take you to him first.”
Ming Liuyi and the others followed Hong Huajin to the bedroom.
The little girl who opened the door, He Luorong, was already sitting by the bed waiting for them. Seeing them finally come in, she was no longer shy and revealed a sweet smile.
There was also a boy in the bedroom who was about 17 or 18 years old. He was tall and lanky, but his body was very thin. His expression was calm, and he seemed quiet, but his eyes were very bright.
“Feng, say hello to everyone,” Hong Huajin said.
He Yanfeng spoke with the clear and smooth voice of a teenager. “Thank you, everyone, for coming to see my father.”
You Lingling laughed. “Ms. Hong, your son is a really handsome boy. His grades must be good too, right?”
“I don’t need to worry about my son’s academic performance. He has always been in first place!” Speaking of her son, Hong Huajin’s face was full of pride. “Then, all of you can have a chat first. I’ll go and cook the wontons for you. It’ll be ready soon.”
He Yanfeng did not say anything. He just quietly went to his father’s side.
Half a year ago, He Jie had almost lost his life because of his act of bravery. Fortunately, he was saved, but he was also left in a vegetative state. However, no one expected the person He Jie saved to turn around and accuse his savior instead. He painted He Jie as someone who tried to harm him, but He Jie’s “evil” intentions had backfired, and he was the one who got harmed instead. The He family even paid the other party a compensation of more than 800,000 Yuan...
The medical treatment and the compensation made the family, who were once an ordinary middle-class family, unable to bear the sudden financial burden.
He Jie and Hong Huajin had worked hard for many years and had finally saved enough money to cover the down payment for their house. They did not expect all their money to be spent on this catastrophe before they could live in the new house.
Since He Jie was in a vegetative state, he could not live without his family. He had a five-year-old daughter at home. Hong Huajin was busy with work every day, so the heaviest burden fell on He Yanfeng.
