Chapter 232 Trouble Man (Second Update)
By nine o’clock at night, Tie Bao had brought the elder lady to Xiaofeng’s home.
"Ms. Su, Xianghe left behind some evidence of the bad things Baldie and the others had done over the years. Although it could get them in serious trouble, Xianghe himself cannot get off the hook completely, so he might end up spending a few months in jail." This outcome was actually good for Liao Xianghe.
Xiaofeng nodded. As long as Liao Xianghe could accept it, this was naturally the best outcome. Even if Xianghe didn’t speak up now, Baldie and the others would still be in trouble later, and Xianghe would not be able to clear his name either.
"This child, Xianghe." Mei Sanying had been completely unaware of her son’s involvement with gangsters before this: "He’s always lied to me, saying that he’s been making money by doing odd jobs outside, saying that such work is here today, gone tomorrow. I thought as long as he was on the right path, there’s no shame in doing odd jobs. Who would have thought... sigh."
Mei Sanying lost her husband in her middle age and unexpectedly took in Liao Xianghe to raise as her own. Since then, the two of them had depended on each other for survival. Although life had been poor, the affection between mother and son was strong, making their days together somewhat warm and sweet.
"Elder lady, everything has two sides to it. Look at it this way, maybe after going through some things, Xianghe will start to live seriously."
"I hope so." Mei Sanying grasped Xiaofeng’s hand, very grateful. "And thank you for paying the doctor to treat me; otherwise, I might have breathed my last by now, and that silly boy Xianghe might have done something foolish. Your kindness to us is greater than heaven. Once Xianghe is out, I’ll make sure he follows you and works hard. If he messes up again, I will not consider him my son."
The other party had saved her twice, an immeasurable kindness. Following such a boss, if Xianghe didn’t work hard, she would be the first to not forgive him.
"Elder lady, I agreed to help him originally because I saw his nature wasn’t bad, and I wanted to lend a hand where I could. After spending some time with him, I’ve found that he’s actually a very good person, enthusiastic and hard-working." Initially, she had approached Liao Xianghe simply because she had no one else to rely on, and certainly no one decent would help her without a reason.
Liao Xianghe needed someone to give him a helping hand, and she needed assistance.
