Power of Money

Chapter 25

Hearing this, Jason's first reaction was to turn around and run away. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

But before he could turn around, he heard footsteps, and then the door was pushed open.

"Who is it?"

Jason turned his head and found that the person who came out was Emily.

Because her family had been constantly harassed by the developer recently, Emily was alert especially. She rushed out with a broom in her hand and saw Jason, who looked embarrassed.

"It's you?"

Emily looked a little embarrassed.

Jason also smiled bitterly and didn't know how to explain for a moment.

But at this time, the middle-aged woman's inquiry came from the room, "Emily, who is outside? Is the developer sending people again?"

"Oh, no, it's my friend who came to see me." Emily replied nervously.

"A friend?"

The woman hesitated for a moment, and then the footsteps came urgently.

"Did Simon come? Oh, you silly girl, hurry up and ask him to come and sit down. Simon, the decoration is simple, hope you don't mind..."

The middle-aged woman walked out of the door with a smile. When she saw that it was not Simon who was standing at the door, but a teenager dressed in ordinary clothes, her expression suddenly

became gloomy.

"Are you a friend of Emily?"

The woman looked at Jason with scrutinion, and the coldness in her eyes became intense.

"Nice to meet you, Auntie. My name is Jason Qin. I'm Emily's patient," Jason said honestly.

"A patient~" The woman's tone became even more disdainful. "What time is it? Why don't you stay in the hospital? What are you doing at the entrance of my home? Do you like our Emily and peek at us, don't you?"

Jason was stunned and felt that this sentence was somewhat familiar.

It seemed that Nina Lyu also said this in DIO Coffee.

He was suddenly speechless.

If you don't dress well, when looking a woman you would be called a voyeur, and if you dress well, it is a kind of appreciation?

"No, Emily is quite kind to me, and I'm not used to be taken care of by other nurses. I have to change the medicine on the wound so I want to invite Emily back."

After all, she was Emily's biological mother. Jason was very respectful.

Emily immediately understood and said to her mother, "Yes, mom, I have asked for leave today. The time is up. If you don't go back to the hospital, my salary would be deducted. I will come back to see you when I have time. Pay my respect to dad that I have to leave."

After saying that, Emily took Jason's hand and wanted to run away.

"Wait a minute!"

Xia's mother suddenly came up with a cold face and pulled Emily away. She looked at Jason with disdain and said, "Emily, what kind of high-end private hospital you are working? You are taking care of this kind of patient?"

"Yes, Jason is my first patient. Mom, why do you care about this?" Emily asked in confusion.

"Well, what am I doing?" Xia's mother looked at Jason coldly and said, "From now on, you don't have to go back to the hospital. I will call Jack Lin tomorrow for you to meet Simion Lin, and you are not allowed to go to any hospital in the future. Do you hear me?"

With this, Emily’s mother took Emily's hand and walked into the door.

"What are you doing?"

This moment, even the gentle-tempered Emily was anxious.

She broke away from her mother's hand and said urgently, "Why should you make desicion for me? I like my current job and have no plans to quit for the time being. Besides, this is my patient. You can do anything to me at home, but please don't affect my work, okay?" "Work? With this kind of job, when can you afford the house for us in Nandu? And next month, the debts will come again. Is your salary enough to pay for that? You spend all day working in the hospital with such patients. When will you become successful? And Jack Lin said that he is not satisfied with your current job and intends to let you work in his son's new company. I agree with your father. So don't mention the messy things in the broken hospital, or I will cut off the mother-daughter relationship with you!"

Xia's mother shouted at Emily when saying the last sentence.

It seemed that she wished Emily and Simon Lin could get married immediately and become Jack Lin's daughter-in-law. She could also start to enjoy glory and wealth.

Emily was stunned.

She stood there still and looked at her biological mother with tears.

She really did not expect that the demolition of a house could make her mother become like this. She even forced her to marry Simon Lin by threatening her to cut off the relationship.

For a moment, she even wanted to jump off the balcony.

It suddenly occured to Emily that when she was in the University of Britain. When she was working day and night for the next semester's tuition fee, her roommate just asked her which pair was better for 9,000 yuan each pair.

Her tears could not stop flowing.

Her mother looked at Emily coldly and said in a cold tone, "Why are you crying? It's not easy for me and your father to raise you up. It's time for you to repay us. Otherwise, why did we give birth to you? Go inside! Without my permission, if you dare to step out of this door, I'll break your leg!"

With this, she grabbed Emily's arm again and pulled her into the door.

This time, Emily was dragged to the door like a walking dead.

"Aunt, it's not good to not let Emily go to the hospital now, is it?" Jason frowned and said.

Emily's mother glanced at him ironically and did not speak. She continued to drag Emily into the house.

"It seems that Emily wasted her time this month, and she can't even get the salary." Jason sighed and said.

" salary?" Emily's mother stopped and turned to look at her daughter. "How much is the salary?"

"More than 10,000 yuan." Emily said with no expression.

"So much?" Emily's mother frowned and said indifferently, "You can take it tomorrow. Let's go home first."

"It will be too late to get it tomorrow." Jason said lightly.

"Why is it too late? My daughter earned it. Does the hospital dare to default?" Emily's mother curled her lip.

"Well, if Emily doesn't go to the hospital today and hand in the resignation notice in advance, she will not get the salary of this month, even the deposit she paid before the work will not be returned."

Jason was looking for a job after graduation, so he was familiar with this kind of thing.

"There is a deposit?" Emily's mother looked at Emily and asked, "How much?"

"Ten thousand yuan."

In fact, there's no need to give a deposit in St.De Hospital before employment.

However, even if Emily was silly, she would understood what Jason meant.

She thought of a reasonable number and said it.

"You have to pay so much deposit when you go to work?" Xia's mother was also shocked, and then she became more excited. "Look at what company you have worked for. People are working to make money, but you have to pay for it. Now you have been working for such a long time with no penny earned but have to pay 10,000 yuan."

"How about I go back to the hospital to get it?" Emily asked cautiously.

"No. It's only 20,000 yuan. You're going to be the wife of the Lin family soon. Who cares about such little money? Go home with me."

As if she had already confirmed that Emily was Jack Lin's future daughter-in-law, Xia's mother took Emily hand and walked home arrogantly.

"But what about 20,000 yuan she owes me?" Jason frowned and said coldly.

Xia's mother was stunned. "She owes you money?"

Jason nodded and said, "Twenty thousand yuan. Emily borrowed it from me when she was hired a month ago. She said that she would pay me by tomorrow's salary. But it seems that she's unable to give it back. Then I will take the loan to the Public Security Bureau tomorrow. You can wait for the police to ask you for money."

Jason said coldly and turned to leave.

Poor people were afraid of lawsuit, and rich people were afraid of hospitals.

When he had no money in the past, he was most afraid of something happening to his family, whether it was a lawsuit or a dispute because of the land occupation.

If he had no money and no power, he couldn't do anything.

And he could see that the more arrogant a woman like Emily's mother looked, the more afraid she would get involved in a lawsuit.

Jason spoke it and went straight downstairs. Before he could light a cigarette, he heard footsteps downstairs and Emily appearing in his sight.

She stood in front of Jason with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you."

Emily looked at Jason sincerely and said.

Jason smiled and didn't argue. He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

The wind was strong at the stairs. He lit his lighter several times but did not light his cigarette.

Jason frowned. When he was about to change a place, his vision suddenly became dark. The white straps appeared on the side of the lighter and blocked the wind for him.
