Capítulo 1298: Chapter 1298: Pull Yourself Together
Liu Hong glanced up at Wei Ming, surprised at how cautious he was.
She didn’t hide her own matters, honestly recounting everything, and even mentioned how Bai Xiao helped her; with the Bai Family’s backing, many would show respect.
Bai Yue was an outstanding businesswoman locally, a model worker and major taxpayer in the province, and more importantly, a people’s representative.
Bai Yue had good character, being honest and friendly, helping many impoverished students and orphans, truly a notable figure in the region.
As long as it wasn’t anything illegal, all doors would be open for her.
Earlier, Liu Hong called Bai Yue; Bai Yue personally talked to the head of the real estate department for a long time, and Bai Yue made guarantees so the process could be expedited. Otherwise, with just Liu Hong, how could she achieve that?
The importance of a property title deed can be either negligible or significant.
Wei Ming’s face darkened with anger after hearing this.
He was a man. Not that all men are good, but who doesn’t have a slight admiration for women?
Seeing a beautiful woman, anyone would look twice.
A ripple in the heart, a small splash of intrigue.
But spending his family’s money on side interests to satisfy personal desires.
And yet still despising Liu Hong.
Discouraging the children from being close to Liu Hong, spreading rumors about her, isn’t this just forcing her to despair?
If you really love, have the guts to do it.
Then divorce, openly and together with your true love.
A true man should act like this.
But Li Shuanzhu chose the most disgraceful path.
Even other men would look down on him.
Wei Ming couldn’t stand it any longer.
He slammed the table, “Liu Hong, don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you with this. To deal with such scum, this is the way to go. This is your money, why shouldn’t you take it? You’re doing the right thing. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure it’s sorted within two days, and the money is transferred to the account you want.
Remember not to leave a penny for that bastard. If you need any help, just say so. I might not be as capable as Bai Yue, but I can certainly help with small matters. Over the years, I’ve built up some connections.”
Liu Hong was grateful that someone was still willing to help her during such a time! She was overwhelmed with gratitude.
Many people don’t want to get involved in such domestic matters.
After all, it could get messy and leave a stain.
These were friends from years past; even if there were some connections, they had faded over the years.
Now, people help her out of sympathy.
No one was wrong not to help her.
“Thank you, Wei Ming, really thank you, I didn’t expect you to help me. You know I haven’t done business for years and haven’t kept connections. Now I’m suddenly having to do so much by myself, I’m really at a loss.
If Bai Xiao hadn’t guided me, I’d probably still be serving everyone like a fool, acting like a servant, getting beaten and scolded, risking losing everything and ending up with nothing.
I’m truly grateful for your help.”
This was Liu Hong’s heartfelt gratitude.
Wei Ming awkwardly scratched his head, “No need to thank me, we’ve been friends for so many years. Even though we haven’t kept in touch, we had ties in the past. Even if we’re not friends anymore, just knowing you’ve encountered such problems, if I don’t lend a hand, I’d be less than human.
Don’t feel like you owe me anything.
Even if it weren’t you, I’d surely help.”
Liu Hong smiled wryly, “Honestly, I don’t have many friends at this moment, and I do need some help from you.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t know who could help.”
“Tell me, do you need people or money?” Wei Ming knew that going to court was a particularly challenging and troublesome path.
With someone like Li Shuanzhu, who knows who he might know over the years.
“That’s not necessary; I’m not going to fight. If things are handled on this end, I’m just thinking of renting a house. Anyway, the house will be sold, and I need somewhere to stay. After all these years in the provincial capital, this is the result I achieved.
I didn’t see through him earlier.”
Liu Hong wanted to rent a house.
Wei Ming nodded, “Don’t worry, I have a place now. What kind are you looking for? I guess you’ll have nothing when you leave, so staying in a smaller place isn’t a problem. As long as it’s convenient, with complete furniture, you can move in with just your bag.
There’s a 1-bedroom apartment upstairs from me with complete furniture and appliances, ready to move in anytime.”
Liu Hong didn’t expect it could be this easy.
“Alright, I’ll rent it for now.”
She had no intention of returning home, and there was no need for clothes.
After all, the clothes are cheap and she always scrimped and saved, never buying anything decent.
Now there’s even less reason to keep them.
Let this be a fresh start for her.
“No way, you have to at least see the place. Let’s go, I’ll get the keys and take you to have a look. If it’s suitable, then rent it, and don’t worry about the rent for now. Since you’re selling the house with me, you won’t shortchange me; the big money still has to go through me.
I’m not afraid you’ll run away.”
Wei Ming figured Liu Hong must be tight on money now, and since Li Shuanzhu could be so ruthless, how could he have left Liu Hong any money?
Liu Hong felt reassured, knowing Wei Ming had good intentions.
He wouldn’t care about her little rent.
He simply wanted to help her.
“Alright, I’ll take you up on that, since I don’t have much money anyway.”
The two of them went to see the apartment; it was really nice, tidy, and a simple 1-bedroom unit.
The furniture and appliances there were pretty good, looking quite new, just needing some bedding and kitchenware to get started.
Liu Hong immediately decided on this place.
Without a word, Wei Ming drove her to the supermarket.
He helped her buy bedding, sheets, and kitchenware, including vegetables, fruits, and grains.
They drove back with a full car and he huffed and puffed to help carry it all up to the apartment.
Liu Hong was left feeling a bit at a loss.
Over the years, she handled everything by herself at home.
When Li Shuanzhu had first married her, he acted helpful just to win her trust.
But when she stayed home with the baby afterward,
he was often absent.
Even when home, he only cared about sleeping.
He never cared if she was exhausted.
Much less offered a hand to help.
Wei Ming arranged everything for her, “The rest is up to you. Here’s my number; if anything comes up, just call me. Don’t hesitate to ask, everyone hits a rough patch; just think of me as a friend.
I’m helping you today, and maybe one day you’ll help me back when you get back on your feet.
Don’t keep thinking you owe others.
I’m glad to see you standing tall, becoming yourself again. I believe you can find that capable and lively Liu Hong again.”
Liu Hong watched Wei Ming go downstairs.
Her emotions were truly mixed.
Even Wei Ming, who was almost a stranger, was willing to lend a hand, so what right did she have not to bounce back?
