Chapter 44

River City Fifth People’s Hospital.

Sun Yi looked at her brother who was in the intensive care unit through the window. Her mood was unusually complicated.

She had received a call from her father during the afternoon saying that her brother’s condition had deteriorated and her heart stuttered. She had thought that there was just some abnormal data as usual but did not expect that he had been rushed to the hospital. The doctor said that an operation had to be performed immediately and that the cost was 700,000 yuan.

For her, 700,000 yuan was beyond her reach.

Although she was the director of the Magnificent Group, her salary had been reduced by the mortgage she had to pay and her brother’s annual medical expenses.

The 300,000 yuan in her bank savings was also her dowry money.

She was willing to take out the 300,000 yuan for her brother’s treatment. She had even sold the car, but it was still not enough.

She could only call her second uncle, Sun Yongfu.

Sun Yongfu had been working in wood processing in River City in recent years and had made a lot of money. He had bought a Mercedes-Benz luxury car and a 150-square-foot house.

It could be said that he was the richest amongst them in the Sun family of the prosperous River City.

She actually had not wanted to make the call because she was uncomfortable with the way she was seen in the eyes of her second uncle and his family as if they were above her. Had she not been at the end of her rope, she would rather ask someone else to borrow money from.

After a while, Sun Yi’s father, Sun Yonggui, was leading Sun Yongfu and his family to her direction.

He was bowing as he walked. “It is really a blessing for my Haozhe that you could come. Oh, I don’t know what debt I owed in the last life that God has to treat me like this… My only hope now is that Haozhe can get through this crisis… ”

When they stopped outside the ward, Sun Yonggui quickly said to his daughter, Sun Yi, “Little Yi, why aren’t you saying hello to your second uncle, aunt, and Yaoyao?”

Sun Yi smiled a little and wiped away her tears. “Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Little Qian… Thank you for helping us at this time, we really appreciate it…”

Sun Yongfu glanced at Sun Yi with a little surprise. He did not expect that an earnest man like Sun Yonggui could have such a beautiful daughter. If she found a wealthy family to marry in the future, the fate of the Sun Yonggui family would probably change.

His wife, Dong Caizhu, had also noticed this and whispered to her husband, Sun Yongfu, “Didn’t you joke about introducing a partner to President Li’s silly son during the last banquet? Who knows, but something might come out of Heng Sheng Building Materials if the marriage is a success…”

Sun Yongfu’s eyes lit up. It was still his wife who was the smartest.

Mr. Li’s silly son was not right in the head and had always seemed so lecherous, but it was not his daughter that would be married to him, so he had nothing to be afraid of.

The point was: how could President Li not be happy with a daughter-in-law like Sun Yi? Perhaps even President Li would not be able to resist Sun Yi’s charm, then father and son could fight it out together.

If the marriage works out, he would definitely be the biggest beneficiary as the person who had introduced her to them! By that time, Mr. Li would be so happy, and his business was bound to prosper!

Their daughter, Sun Yaoyao, had naturally heard her parents’ plan, and a smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

As a woman, she was the most jealous when someone else looked better than her!

Sun Yi was undoubtedly the person she hated the most in these years! She would spare no effort to show off in front of Sun Yi or ridicule her the moment she found the opportunity to during family gatherings.

She looked down on Sun Yi and her family very much. The family obviously had no money, so why would they have such a beautiful daughter? What was more was that they also had this half-dead child from a previous marriage.

Sun Yaoyao put on an act and took a look at Sun Haozhe in the intensive care unit. She sighed and said, “Your family is really… I wonder what kind of evil had been done to give birth to such a sick thing. Life could have gone very well for your family all these years. He had become such a burden, oh dear…”

Sun Yi was angered by her words. Who did she call a sick thing?

Just as she was about to refute, Sun Yonggui pulled on Sun Yi’s sleeve and whispered, “Don’t speak. Do you want to save your brother or not? Only your second uncle and his family are able to lend us the money so lower yourself… ”

Sun Yi glared at Sun Yaoyao and said no more.

At this moment, Dong Caizhu walked up with a smile on her face and said caringly to Sun Yi, “Oh, Sun Yi, auntie sees that you’re all grown up. We as the Sun family will definitely lend our help for your brother’s treatment. It is unjustifiable if we do not help at this time.”

Sun Yi was so happy. She never expected that her aunt who was always mean and stingy would stand up this time to take the initiative to help their family.

“Second aunt, is this true? Would you be willing to help Haozhe?” Sun Yi asked excitedly.

Dong Caizhu said seriously, “Naturally. We’re all family.”

Sun Yonggui could no longer remain calm. He dashed up to Sun Yongfu. “Brother, I am willing to work extremely hard for you in this life. Thank you all. I will definitely find a way to pay you back.”

Sun Yongfu smiled and patted Sun Yonggui’s shoulder. “It’s alright even if you don’t return it. Who knows, we might need to rely on you in the future.”

Sun Yonggui was confused by his words and was about to ask when Dong Caizhu grabbed his daughter Sun Yi’s hand and said, “By the way, Sun Yi, you are already in your twenties. Have you found a boyfriend?”

Sun Yi shook her head. “I’m still young and am not in a rush to find a boyfriend.”

Dong Caizhu looked happy. Falling short of clapping her hands and calling out in joy, she quickly said, “But boyfriends are looking for women. You are the most popular at your age, why don’t I look for one for you?

“By the way, I heard a few days ago that the son of President Li of Heng Sheng Building Materials is looking for a marriage partner. Heng Sheng Building Materials is a leader in our industry that even your uncle has to cater to them. If you marry into their Li family, not only your brother’s illness, our entire Sun family is counting on you!”

How could Sun Yonggui not understand what the other party meant when he heard this.

They wanted him to sell his daughter!

Sun Yonggui felt that he had owed his daughter the most all these years. If Sun Yi had been able to attend university back then, her grades would have been excellent, but she had given up the opportunity to further her studies and decided to work day and night in order to make money to support her family. If he did not even allow Sun Yi the right to choose her own happiness, Sun Yonggui would have really destroyed his daughter’s life.

That was why then, Sun Yonggui stood up and refused. “Sister-in-law, don’t worry about Sun Yi’s life-long affairs. Our Sun Yi will be able to handle it by herself.”

Sun Yi had also seen through Dong Caizhu’s intentions. If they really took their money, she would undoubtedly be selling herself!

Marrying an unknown man for these hundreds of thousands? It was not worth it!

Her second aunt had really put up a good scheme!

Her expression turned grim and she said displeasingly, “Auntie, you don’t need to worry about my matters. Since the Young Master Li’s so good, why not let Yao Yao marry him?”

Sun Yaoyao did not expect Sun Yi would include her into the conversation and said quickly, “Sun Yi, what are you saying? No way will I marry that fool…”

Sun Yi and Sun Yonggui’s expression darkened even more after Sun Yaoyao spoke! It turned out that the partner Dong Caizhu introduced was a fool!
