Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 292

Chapter 292: Sour and Bitter ( 1 )
Li Chenmo nodded and followed the nurse. After they left, Pan Meijia walked to Lu Jueyu and said, “Jueyu, I’ll go with you.”

Lu Jueyu nodded and said, “Thank you, Meijia.”

Pan Meijia hugged her arm and said, “No problem!”

In the emergency room, Father Li was lying on the bed unconscious while wearing an oxygen mask. He was pale and breathing heavily. When Li Chenmo and Li Chenze walked into the room, worry and heartache flashed in their eyes.

When standing next to Father Li, the nurses said, “Comrades, the doctor will come to visit again after the patient is transferred to the ward.”

Li Chenmo nodded to her and said, “Thank you, comrade.”

They pulled chairs over and sat on the edge of the bed. Li Chenze, who is 1.9 meters tall, is looking at his father with red eyes. After losing his mother, Li Chenze relied heavily on his father as his psychological support.

As the eldest son in the family, he always believed that he needed to be strong to protect his younger siblings. Therefore, he never showed his weakness in front of his younger brothers. When he is weak, the only person he can turn to is his father. But now, the tall and strong figure in his mind was lying weakly on the bed.

At this moment, reality finally hit him. His father is no longer young, and it is their turn to protect him. When this idea occurred, he looked at Li Chenmo and said, “Third brother, after our father is discharged from the hospital, I will take my family to live with our father.”

Li Chenmo was silent for a moment and asked, “What about your house?”

“We will lend it to the production team for the educated youth to live in exchange for lower taxes. As the eldest son, it is my responsibility to take care of our father.”

After hearing what his brother said, Li Chenmo thought for a while and said, “Brother, I have no objection. However, I will be the one who pays the tax for your house.”

After hearing what he said, Li Chenze frowned and said, “No. You have already paid taxes for two houses. If you also pay for my house, the burden will be too much for you.”

Li Chenmo looked at his eldest brother and said, “Brother, your sons are eight years old and it’s time for them to go to school. You can’t delay their education any longer. Don’t worry, leave the tax matters to me.”

“But the taxes and fees are not low. Where can you get so much money?” Li Chenze said with a frown.

Li Chenmo looked at his brother meaningfully and said, “I’ll explain it to you later.”

Although Li Chenze was very curious, he knew that what his brother was going to tell him might be dangerous. So, he nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.

At the counter, Lu Jueyu and Pan Meijia were waiting when they saw Houzi coming out of the elevator.

Lu Jueyu nudged Pan Meijia and asked, “Meijia, isn’t that your cousin?”

Pan Meijia squinted her eyes and muttered, “What is he doing here?”

Pan Meijia thought her cousin might be sick, so she handed the bamboo basket to Lu Jueyu and said, “Jueyu, I’ll go and take a look.”

Lu Jueyu took the bamboo basket from her and said, “Go ahead.”

Pan Meijia quickened her pace and caught up with her cousin. But Houzi has reached the entrance due to his long legs. Afraid of not being able to catch up, she shouted, “Su Jun!”

The moment she called out the name, Houzi suddenly stopped and turned around. Because of her shout, everyone turned to look at her, including Ling Yun who was walking towards her.

When he saw her chasing and heard her calling another man’s name, his steps suddenly stopped. He stood ten meters away from her and watched her tug on the man’s shirt. A subtle but intimate gesture. He clenched his fists as jealousy welled up in his heart.

Pan Meijia didn’t know that someone was looking at them while gnashing his teeth like an abandoned husband. She pulled her cousin’s clothes and asked breathlessly, “Cousin, what are you doing here?”

Houzi was surprised when he saw her here, frowned, and said, “Meijia, I have told you many times, don’t call me by that name.”

Hearing his words, she was a little confused and asked, “Why can’t I? Isn’t that your name?”

Houzi touched his forehead and asked helplessly, “Have you forgotten that I am running away from home? What if my parents knew my whereabouts and forced me to go back? Will you take the responsibility?”

Thinking of his situation, Pan Meijia smiled embarrassedly and said, “I’m sorry, cousin, I forgot.”

Houzi was speechless by her carelessness. He lightly flicked her forehead with his finger and said, “Be careful next time.”

“Hiss!” Pan Meijia exclaimed exaggeratedly and rubbed her forehead, looking like she was being bullied, but this flick didn’t hurt at all.

Houzi rolled his eyes at her and said, “Stop pretending. Tell me, why are you here?”

Pan Meijia pouted and said, “Cousin, I’m accompanying Jueyu. Her father-in-law fainted and is still in the emergency room.”

Houzi was startled by her words and asked, “How is he doing?”

“He is stable now but will need to stay for a few more days.”

“That’s a relief.” Houzi nodded.

Pan Meijia remembered her purpose and said, “Cousin, don’t change the subject! What are you doing here?”

Houzi thought he could change the subject and fool his cousin as usual, but his little cousin seemed to have become smarter recently. Helpless, he could only explain, “I came to visit a friend.”

Pan Meijia sniffed his body and smelled the smell of disinfectant and flowers. Her eyes lit up and she asked excitedly, “Do I know your friend? Is it a girl?”

Houzi didn’t want to tell her about it and said, “It’s not what you think.”
