Chapter 39 Duplicity

"Old lady, are we seeing things or is Wang Chao cooking for us?"

Wang Anguo looked incredulous.

With red eyes, Li Han nodded and said, "Yes, our son has become more sensible."

Looking at his son like this, Wang Anguo felt comforted and relieved.

He carefully said, "Old woman, let's not disturb him when we go out later."

Li Han nodded.

Wang Anguo then took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Li Han, saying, "Also, this is the money I earned from staying up late last night. You can give it to Baozhu later."

"Yingying is going to have surgery and needs to eat some good food to supplement her nutrition."

"Okay."

Li Han took the money and looked at Wang Chao, who was busy in the kitchen, and smiled, "Old man, I'll tell you some good news."

"Is there something to celebrate?" Wang Anguo was skeptical.

Since Wang Chao left his hometown, he hasn't seen Li Han smile like this for a long time.

"Do you know about the roadside diner I work part-time at? Our Wang Chao has made it big. He bought the roadside diner for two million yuan last night, and now I am the owner of the roadside diner." Li Han said.

"Is that true or false? Does this kid really have so much money? He didn't borrow from those gangster friends again, did he?" Wang Anguo looked worried.

"Don't talk nonsense. Our Wang Chao has turned over a new leaf and definitely wouldn't borrow money from those people again. He was lucky and saved the life of a rich man, who specially gave him two million yuan as a reward." Li Han said.

She truthfully told Wang Anguo about what happened last night and even had Xu Jun, a lawyer, testify to convince Wang Anguo.

"Two million yuan?"

Wang Anguo was so shocked to hear this number that his eyes widened.

So much money, he didn't even dare to think about it, but his son had earned it?

How is that possible?

In the next moment, he glared at Wang Chao with frustration and said, "With so much money, why not buy a house and get married? Why buy a roadside diner?"

"This boy is really wasteful. Doesn't he know we want grandchildren?"

Li Han realized this too and regretted it. She stomped her feet and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of asking him to buy a house and get married? He's wasting money!"

"No, I have to go teach him a lesson!" Wang Anguo said in anger.

"Old man, Wang Chao just came back. You can't mess around and scare him away from home," Li Han hurriedly grabbed Wang Anguo.

"Don't worry, I know what to do!" Wang Anguo said in a deep voice.

After Wang Chao finished making all the food, they both walked over, pretending to be sleepy.

"Dad, Mom, wake up? You can wash up and eat breakfast," Wang Chao said.

Wang Anguo's face was cold as he scanned the food and then glared at Wang Chao coldly, saying, "What kind of food did you make? They don't even look appetizing, you wasteful person!"

Li Han glared at him with a bit of annoyance. "What nonsense are you talking about, old man?"

This old man is good at nothing but can't express himself. He can't even say a word of praise, only using oppressive means to educate his children.

Wang Chao took a look at the dishes he made, and they were obviously delicious and beautiful.

This old man is really speechless. He doesn't even say a good word. He's just a vain old man.

Wang Chao smiled and didn't feel unhappy. He served the porridge to his parents, peeled the egg and put it in the porridge, then sat down and drank his own porridge.

As he ate, he said, "I went to the hospital to see my sister last night. She said she would bring Yingying home for dinner this weekend."

"Really?" Wang Anguo was pleased.

"That's great. You should also bring your younger brother and sister back this weekend, and we'll have a good reunion dinner as a family." Li Han was also very happy.

Wang Baozhu is very stubborn and hasn't been home since the divorce because he doesn't want to worry them.

In fact, the old couple knows everything and have been silently helping Wang Baozhu all along.

Their family hasn't had a reunion dinner in eight years.

Suddenly, Li Han remembered something, looked worried, and said, "Isn't today the day for Yingying's surgery? Let's eat quickly and go to the hospital to see her."

"Oh, I went to the hospital last night. It was just a minor problem. I helped Yingying heal, so there's no need for surgery. She just needs an intravenous drip for the pneumonia." Wang Chao said.

"Ah? Wang Chao, did you really cure her?" Li Han was surprised.

"Yeah, it was just a hernia, a minor problem." Wang Chao said.

"What small problem? Do you think I don't know about abdominal hernias? The uncle next door almost died because he didn't receive timely treatment for his abdominal hernia. His large intestine necrotized and they had to remove over a meter of it! This is a serious disease, and you talk about it so lightly, pretending to know something you don't. Do you think you're a god-like doctor?"

Wang Anguo's expression turned cold as he glared at Wang Chao, and said, "This habit of making light of things is very bad. As a father, it's my responsibility to help you correct this habit of exaggerating!"

After learning that Huang Ying had an abdominal hernia, he specifically researched this disease and knew that although it is not serious, some people can die from it, and it must be taken seriously.

Now that Wang Chao had described it as a small problem, he subconsciously believed that Wang Chao was talking nonsense and exaggerating.

This kind of habit is not good!

As a father, he had a responsibility to help Wang Chao correct this habit of exaggerating!

Wang Chao finished his last bite of porridge and said, "Dad, if you don't believe me, you can go to the hospital and see for yourself."

"I'm going to be late for work, you save it for when I get back."

"Mum, can you help me wash the dishes?"

After speaking, Wang Chao stood up and walked out, quickly disappearing from the two of them.

Although it is a kind of happiness to be disciplined by one's father, he did not want to be disciplined too much. After all, he had not done anything wrong this time and did not want to listen to Wang Anguo's nagging.

"Wang Chao, stop right there!"

Wang Anguo stood up in anger, only to see Wang Chao disappearing from his sight. He said angrily, "This brat is still as mischievous as he was before, hasn't changed in eight years. He's almost thirty years old, but he won't even wash his dishes!"

"Oh no, he interrupted me and I forgot to teach him about his habit of spending money recklessly!"

Li Han smiled and helped Wang Chao wash the dishes while saying, "Alright, old man, don't be so long-winded. Eat quickly. We'll go to the hospital later to see if Wang Chao is telling the truth about Huang Ying."

Wang Anguo sat down and took a sip of porridge, laughing, "You know what, this little brat actually makes pretty good porridge. His cooking skills are not bad, he's almost as good as a five-star chef."

He savored the taste and drank a few more mouthfuls before pulling Li Han to sit down and have breakfast together.

Li Han also took a few sips and her eyes lit up.

This porridge was indeed delicious.

She smiled and said, "Old man, you're really a hypocrite. Wang Chao has really changed a lot. You should praise him more in the future."

"Praise him? It's already good enough if I don't beat him up. If I praise him too much, his tail will be up in the sky. He needs to be kept in check! Otherwise, if he causes trouble like he did eight years ago, he probably won't be able to get married." Wang Anguo said.

Li Han frowned slightly when he mentioned eight years ago and didn't say much more, nodding in agreement with Wang Anguo's words.

Wang Anguo tasted the porridge and ate a peeled egg, his face filled with satisfaction.

For him, being able to eat breakfast cooked by his son was already a great happiness.

After Li Han finished breakfast, Wang Anguo spoke up, "Old lady, our son has grown up. We can only manage him for a while, not for his whole life."

"We need to find a woman to manage him. Can you help me find someone? Let's find a wife for this brat!"

"Now that he has a formal job and looks handsome and tall, it shouldn't be difficult to find him a wife!"
