Chapter 712: Chapter 712

Xu Caimei immediately caught the critical point, "What impact will this have on both families?"

Li Lingyu also reacted and then asked her father, "Dad, what exactly is going on here?"

"Noth... nothing."

Seeing her father’s hesitant appearance, Li Lingyu felt even more uneasy.

At this moment, Liu Chao spoke arrogantly, "Your dad borrowed one hundred thousand yuan from our family."

"And that money? At the time, it was agreed upon as our family’s dowry."

"What?" Li Lingyu looked at her parents in disbelief.

"Mom, is this true?"

Li Lingyu’s mother saw that she could no longer conceal the truth and admitted, "It’s true. Your dad got sick, and the family had no money left, so we had to borrow everywhere."

"What sickness? How come I didn’t know about it?" Li Lingyu immediately panicked, looking anxiously at her father.

"It’s a tumor. It’s already starting to worsen. If we don’t treat it soon, your dad doesn’t have much time left."

Li Lingyu no longer cared about the money and asked anxiously, "So how is the treatment going now? Was the surgery successful?"

"The surgery wasn’t very successful. It might require another operation."

"Why didn’t you tell me about this sooner?" Li Lingyu cried out.

Li Lingyu’s father responded, "If I told you, it would only make you worry unnecessarily. It’s me who has burdened you and made you suffer."

It was evident that Li Lingyu’s parents deeply loved their daughter.

But borrowing money from others placed them in a difficult position. They had no other choice.

From their perspective, at least, Liu Chao—though he had made mistakes—might still be acceptable if he changed. After all, he had been dating Li Lingyu for several years.

"Dad, Mom, I’m sorry," Li Lingyu said apologetically. The fact that such a major event happened in her family and she didn’t know about it made her feel guilty.

At this point, Liu Chao interrupted the family’s emotional moment and said, "Li Lingyu, now you know how much you owe me, right? If it weren’t for my family, your dad might already be dead. And yet you have the nerve to break up with me?"

"What’s wrong with me asking for a pair of sneakers? Isn’t that reasonable?"

Seeing Liu Chao’s self-righteous demeanor, Wang Xinxin and Xu Caimei were both furious.

This man was detestable.

But given the complex nature of the situation, they couldn’t easily intervene.

Xu Caimei glanced at the bathroom. Zhang Yang still hadn’t come out—if he were here, he would surely have a solution.

"Uncle, Aunt, even so, you can’t force Yu’er to marry him, right?" Wang Xinxin couldn’t help but voice her opinion.

Li Lingyu’s parents hesitated. They knew that such a move was unfair to their daughter and somewhat excessive.

But now the family truly had no money, not even for the next surgery.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the living room grew heavy.

Liu Chao fiercely glared at Wang Xinxin, "This is a matter between our two families. Who are you to butt in?"

"I..." Wang Xinxin suddenly didn’t know how to argue back.

Li Lingyu wiped away her tears and suddenly steeled her gaze.

"Xinxin, leave this alone."

Wang Xinxin’s expression changed. She knew Li Lingyu too well—this was a sign that Li Lingyu was about to capitulate.

"Yu’er, don’t..."

Li Lingyu forced a smile, "It’s okay. All I care about right now is making sure my dad gets treated."

Seeing Li Lingyu like this, Wang Xinxin felt like her heart was breaking.

But Li Lingyu’s words did give Xu Caimei an idea.

"If it’s about treating the illness, then find Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang’s medical skills are incredible—dealing with a tumor is nothing for him."

Xu Caimei knew Zhang Yang’s medical abilities well; her own father had been pulled back from the brink of death when all other doctors were helpless.

As she spoke, she immediately stood up and walked toward the bathroom.

She went ahead and opened the door without hesitation. Zhang Yang didn’t have the habit of locking the bathroom door.

The bathroom faced the living room directly, so when Xu Caimei opened the door, everyone could see Zhang Yang showering.

Zhang Yang also noticed all the people in the living room.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Zhang Yang instinctively grabbed a towel and wrapped it around himself.

At this moment, Li Lingyu’s father spoke in a deep voice, "Why is there a man in the house?"

Wang Xinxin quickly answered, "He’s my boyfriend."

Meanwhile, Xu Caimei couldn’t take her eyes off Zhang Yang during the split second before he wrapped the towel around himself.

Oh my God, that’s huge—even while soft, it’s so big!

And Zhang Yang’s abs? So defined! I really want to touch them...

Zhang Yang looked at Xu Caimei in exasperation and said, "Wipe the drool off your face. I’m showering here. What on earth is happening?"

Xu Caimei quickly recollected herself and got back to business, "If you keep showering, Li Lingyu will be forced to reconcile with that scumbag Liu Chao."

"What?" Zhang Yang was immediately alarmed and rushed out.

He stormed toward Liu Chao, clad only in his towel, and confronted him, "Kid, you dare show your face here again? I went easy on you last time."

Seeing Zhang Yang, Liu Chao couldn’t help but feel intimidated.

"What’s your problem? I didn’t come here on my own—it was Li Lingyu’s parents who asked me to."

"Huh?" Zhang Yang turned around in surprise to look at Li Lingyu’s parents.

"Why are you here? Are you trying to force your daughter to reconcile with this scumbag?"

Because of his past experiences with problematic parents, Zhang Yang now held little patience for them.

"Watch how you talk, kid—this is our family business, none of your concern," Li Lingyu’s father said, clearly displeased with Zhang Yang’s attitude.

Li Lingyu quickly intervened, "Zhang Yang, don’t get impulsive. They’re my parents."

She then hurriedly explained the situation in detail.

After listening, Zhang Yang’s expression softened, understanding that Li Lingyu’s parents were in real difficulty.

But these weren’t insurmountable problems in Zhang Yang’s eyes.

Instead of immediately offering money or medical help, Zhang Yang asked Li Lingyu’s parents, "If you didn’t owe him money, would you still force your daughter to reconcile with him?"

"This has nothing to do with you!" Li Lingyu’s parents responded angrily to Zhang Yang’s question.

Zhang Yang didn’t hold back, "We’re Li Lingyu’s friends, and we know how desperately she wants to break up. As friends, we can see that—don’t you, as her parents, care enough to stop pushing her into the fire pit?"

These words left Li Lingyu’s parents with no response, filled with shame.

They instinctively looked at their daughter and saw her face streaked with tears.

As parents, they could clearly see how heartbroken she was.

Li Lingyu’s mother also began crying, "I’m sorry, Yu’er. It’s my fault—there’s nothing I can do. I can’t just let your dad die because we don’t have money for treatment."

Li Lingyu’s father also lost his earlier firmness, "Forget it, forget it. Treating the illness is the priority—we’ll figure out a way to repay the money."

Liu Chao was immediately upset by this, "What do you mean by that? That money is our dowry—your daughter is already mine."
