Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School - Chapter 3223

3223 He Should Take Responsibility for His Own Deeds
“Why do you hang out with gangsters?” Old Mrs. Wang was mad again. She was aware that Wang Xiangyang’s friends were fair-weather friends, but she didn’t expect them to be gangsters.

Ordinary people were scared of gangsters because they were cruel and reckless.

“It’s useless to talk about that right now. Will you ask Wang Yiming for the money? They only gave me three days.” Wang Xiangyang shouted. Even if he was with his mother, he never bothered to be nice to Old Mrs. Wang.

He was Old Mrs. Wang’s biological son, so Old Mrs. Wang had to help him no matter how angry she was.

Anyway, nothing was more important than her son.

Therefore, Old Mrs. Wang had to give in. “Fine, fine, fine, I’ll call Wang Yiming right now.”

After speaking with Wang Xiangyang, Old Mrs. Wang called Wang Yiming at once.

“Yiming, do you have the compensation yet?” asked Old Mrs. Wang. Perhaps because she needed Wang Yiming’s help, she was unusually gentle this time and even tried to please Wang Yiming.

“Not yet.”

Wang Yiming answered in a flat tone, because he understood that Old Mrs. Wang only wanted his money.

Old Mrs. Wang wasn’t affected and continued. “When can you get it?”
“No idea,” Wang Yiming said.

“How much compensation can you get for your car?” Old Mrs. Wang asked again.

Wang Yiming squinted and showed coldness. Since Old Mrs. Wang asked about the car, she must want a lot of money this time.

“I don’t know.” Wang Yiming answered.

Old Mrs. Wang lost her patience. “How can’t you know how much your car is worth?”

“We haven’t talked about that yet. How could I know?” Wang Yiming said, “No matter how much I can get, I’ll use it to buy a car. It’s not convenient without a car.”

In fact, he didn’t care whether he could buy a car with the money. However, he knew that Old Mrs. Wang would repeatedly ask him about the money if he didn’t buy a car. Therefore, he would rather buy a new car.

“Why do you still want a car? Can you afford the house and car loan?” Old Mrs. Wang said. It sounded as if she cared about him, but she was just afraid that Wang Yiming would buy a new car with the compensation. In that case, she wouldn’t be able to ask him for the money.

“It’s not convenient without a car,” Wang Yiming said again.

“You…” Old Mrs. Wang was mad. She didn’t ask again and directly told him her purpose. “You don’t need to rush to buy a new car. The thing is that your younger brother lost a hundred thousand yuan at a casino. He borrowed the money from his friends. Now his friends want him to pay it back within three days or they’ll beat him. You’ll get the compensation, so you can help your younger brother to pay them back. He’ll return it to you once he has money.”

Wang Xiangyang would return it to him when he had money? Wang Yiming didn’t believe it at all.

He knew that Wang Xiangyang had a hobby of gambling and had lost dozens of thousands of yuan before. He had lent Wang Xiangyang money, but Wang Xiangyang never paid him back.

He had tried to persuade Wang Xiangyang to get rid of the hobby, but Wang Xiangyang wouldn’t listen and even said that it was his own business.

Because Wang Xiangyang didn’t ask him for money again when he owed money at gambling, he didn’t complain about it. However, to his astonishment, Wang Xiangyang lost a hundred thousand yuan this time.

“He’s your younger brother. Only you can help him now. You can’t leave him in trouble,” Old Mrs. Wang said. She played the familial relationship card.

Wang Yiming remained silent.

He wouldn’t abandon them, but he couldn’t give Wang Xiangyang a hundred thousand yuan right now.

Besides, he doubted whether it was true.

He wondered whether this was an excuse they made up to ask him for money, or if Wang Xiangyang really lost so much money.

“Say something!” Old Mrs. Wang was anxious when Wang Yiming remained silent. She was afraid that Wang Yiming would refuse to lend them the money.

“Xiangyang is thirty years old. He isn’t a kid. He should take responsibility for his own deeds. If he lost the money by doing business or encountering an accident, I would help him as long as I can, but gambling isn’t a good thing. If he doesn’t learn from this and we help him every time, he’ll be spoiled and will make even more serious mistakes next time,” Wang Yiming said.

“Will you just watch your younger brother beaten to death by them? How can you be so cold-blooded? It’s just a hundred thousand yuan. I’m sure you can afford it.” Old Mrs. Wang swore. She felt that Wang Yiming was too cold-blooded.

Hearing that, Wang Yiming thought it was ridiculous, but he wasn’t really mad. He was already hurt deeply and gradually didn’t care anymore.

“I’m cold-blooded? Haven’t I helped you enough during these years? You ask me for money all the time. Did you care about me at all when I was injured in a car accident and am still in the hospital right now?”

Old Mrs. Wang was struck dumb for a second, and didn’t know what to say.

She never thought that her behavior was unacceptable because Wang Yiming wasn’t her biological son. No matter how she exploited him, she never cared about the result nor felt guilty.

However, she panicked a little when Wang Yiming questioned her now.

Anyway, upon thinking of Wang Xiangyang, Old Mrs. Wang summoned up her courage and asked, “Shouldn’t you help your younger brother?”

“He should take responsibility for his own actions. If you want to help him, you can sell your house. After returning the hundred thousand yuan, you can buy a smaller house,” Wang Yiming said. Old Mrs. Wang had different options, but she was used to taking advantage of him.

Although the house was old, it could be sold for 1.5 million yuan. After returning a hundred thousand yuan, they could buy a smaller house with two bedrooms in a suburb.

The housing price was high in City Chang, but it wasn’t crazy in a suburb. It should be about fifteen thousand yuan a square meter. They should be able to afford a house of eighteen square meters and still have money to decorate it.

“What? You want us to sell the house?” Old Mrs. Wang was angry as soon as she heard that. She couldn’t accept it at all.

“You can solve the problem by yourself. Why do you have to ask me for help? Do you really think I’m dumb? Anyway, I already gave you a solution. It’s up to you whether you want to do that,” Wang Yiming said in annoyance. The next moment, he directly hung up. In case Old Mrs. Wang called him again, he turned his phone off.

The other people in the ward heard Wang Yiming’s conversation. They all felt sympathy for him.

When Wang Xiangyang heard that Wang Yiming was unwilling to lend him money and even asked them to sell the house, he was furious and went to the hospital at once.

That happened at noon when the students had free time, so Leng Xiaoyao went to see Wang Yiming with the evidence without delay.
