Chapter 464 Asking for Money 1
Wan Dongcheng: "..."
Although he had suspected that his mother’s visit might be about money, hearing her actually ask for it still left him visibly troubled.
It wasn’t that he was unwilling to give; he didn’t even have twenty dollars on him, let alone a hundred.
When she usually asked her son for money, he was exceptionally forthcoming, but this time, after waiting a while, she hadn’t heard him speak up. Pan Huiyun immediately sensed that something was off.
"Son, you don’t happen to be out of even a hundred dollars, do you?"
"How could that be?" Wan Dongcheng instinctively denied it, as he was concerned with keeping up appearances. He always pretended to be doing well at home, acting as though he was not lacking money despite not having a job. How could he admit not having any money?
"Mom, he isn’t married yet, right? There’s no rush for this money. In a couple of days when I go back, I’ll bring the money along. You and dad agreed to it, so we’ll surely borrow it. Don’t worry, I won’t let you both lose face."
"This isn’t just about losing our face; it’s about losing yours too." Having heard her son’s promise to give the money, Pan Huiyun felt somewhat relieved.
But her son didn’t give the money immediately and instead postponed it to the next trip home, which made her suspect there was something fishy.
She hadn’t noticed Li Shiping had come up behind them, pulling on Wan Dongcheng’s hand to press him, "Tell your mother, is it because your wife is holding all the money?"
