“What’s the matter? I’ve already paid for your daughter’s tuition. I also introduced you to a job with such a high paying salary. Don’t you already have enough money for your monthly expenses?”

“Yes… Yes… It’s just that, I… I got into a bit of trouble,” Aunt Mo stammered. She knew it wasn’t good for her to ask for money like that. She had a weak conscience.

“Well, I don’t care about your troubles. I’m not running a charity. You didn’t even do the things that I asked you to do well. And now, you come to ask me for more money? How can you have the audacity to even do that?” He Yan snapped back. She started to get impatient with Aunt Mo.

Aunt Mo was dilly-dallying when she had asked her to do something. And now, she came back to ask her for money? Was this a joke?

Upon hearing He Yan’s words, Aunt Mo felt even worse.

After she hesitated for quite some time, Aunt Mo continued to speak with a trembling voice, “But… But, He Jianjun is back! He’s pestering me right now. If you don’t lend me money for the divorce proceedings, I will tell him to go pester you!”

Aunt Mo’s words grew in pitch and vigor. She tried to make He Yan afraid.

He Yan and He Jianjun were related. After He Yan’s father had died, her mother had married He Jianjun’s father.

Although the two weren’t related by blood, they were still part of the same family. He Jianjun had left with his mother after his father remarried. As a result, not many people knew about their relationship. It had been many years since they had seen each other.

Furthermore, Mo Huiqin had split up with He Jianjun quite some time ago. Due to this reason, not many people knew about how she was related to He Yan.

However, as He Jianjun’s wife, Mo Huiqiin knew about his family.

Similar to Aunt Mo, He Yan didn’t want to be involved with that bastard of a man.

“Now you’ve learned how to threaten me?” He Yan growled back.

“No… I didn’t mean it like that. I really don’t know what to do.” Aunt Mo cried out. However, she knew that she had to pull through with this. Her daughter needed this. She must get this money.

“Okay, okay. How much money do you need?”

“Thirty thousand!”

“Okay. I’ll give you the money the same way as last time. I’ll put the money in the locker. Go and get it yourself.”

He Yan wasn’t willing to transfer money directly to Aunt Mo. She didn’t want anyone to know of her relationship with Aunt Mo. She especially didn’t want anyone to figure out the monetary exchange between them.

Thus, every time she gave Aunt Mo money, she gave it in cash.

“Okay, okay. Thank you so much!” Since He Yan agreed to give her money, Aunt Mo decided to keep her side of the promise.

“Don’t thank me so quickly. Make sure to do your job well. Don’t always think about money!”

“It’s not like that. It’s not that I don’t want to do the job well. It’s just that I haven’t gotten a chance to get close to Young Master Yunnao. Young Master Yuncheng has been taking Young Master Yunnao everywhere he goes. And from tomorrow onwards, Young Master Yunnao would be staying at the Huiling Medical Research Institution.”

“Did you volunteer to take care of him at the hospital?”

“I didn’t get the chance to even ask. Young Master Yuncheng said that there was no need for anyone to go with him. He said that Young Master Yunnao would be taken care of at the institution…”

The care given at the institution was different from the care given at hospitals. There were people appointed for specific tasks and the care given was all-rounded.

“Alright then. Just report back to me when you have anything. I want to know about the progress of Jian Yunnao’s treatment.”

He Yan wasn’t running a charity. She wanted to get something back in return.

“I understand. I will make sure to tell you as soon as I get any information.”

Aunt Mo readily agreed.

After that, she hung up the call. Aunt Mo rushed to tell Mo Shiyun the good news.
