Chapter 245 - What Do You Want? (1/2)

“Aunty, please just speak your mind.” She had sprained her waist and he wanted to see what she would demand as compensation. “What do you want?”

Xiang Caiping looked at Su Qingsang again. “I…I would like her to look after me for two days.”

“That is impossible.” How could Huo Jinyao allow his wife to look after a stranger?

“Please speak your mind about the amount you would like to have or be honest with me about other ways you would like to be compensated. It is not possible for her to stay here for a few days to take care of you.”

“I… I don’t want money.” Xiang Caiping never imagined that she would ever be misunderstood for someone who pursued monetary gains. She started to panic. “I really don’t want any money. I have no intention for her to…”

“Aunty,” Su Qingsang knew that Huo Jinyao was trying to protect her, but she really was not afraid of the elderly woman’s intentions. “I’m really sorry, but if you have other requests, we are able to satisfy you. It’s really not possible for me to stay here with you.”

Her leave from work was ending the next day and she had to go back. When she returned home tomorrow, she would need to rest for the day.

“How about this – I’ll hire a caretaker for you. Alternatively, please provide me with the method to contact your family. I will contact them.”

Family? Xiang Caiping forced a bitter laugh as she gazed at Su Qingsang, “I don’t have a family anymore.”

Su Qingsang was flabbergasted and once again turned to look at Huo Jinyao. What?

Huo Jinyao knitted his brows and shook his head as he looked back at her. His expression indicated to her that she should not bother herself with what the elderly woman had said.

“Aunty, I understand how you’re feeling, but we genuinely have commitments. How about this – I’ll send someone over. Don’t worry, we will not run away from our responsibilities. We will definitely be responsible and make things up to you where needed.”

Huo Jinyao was considerably sincere and genuine in his attitude. If not for Su Qingsang’s empathic character, he would already have called his secretary to come to deal with this matter.

Xiang Caiping fixed her gaze on Su Qingsang forlornly and attempted to say something, but she stopped herself. Her eyes were red.

Huo Jinyao did not have the patience for such melodrama and gave Su Qingsang’s hand a squeeze to indicate that they should leave.
