One year later.
Leo was still angry, feeling irritated by Mr. Hu's persistence. He even started doing part-time jobs in the hope of paying him off. But it was almost impossible to raise 43,000,000 yen in such a short period of time.
Leo was walking home right now, and for the first time in his life, he felt lonely because he knew his mother's heart was getting farther and farther away from him. He knew that why his mother had not accepted Mr. Hu's proposal was because of him; he felt touched. But..
Hey, Leo. Why is your expression so bad today? Did your girlfriend break up with you or something?,' a girl suddenly said while walking over with a giggle.
Hearing this voice, Leo didn't even turn around as he continued on his way, putting on a calm look.
Still as cold as ever, she said with a snort as she walked farther away from Leo.
After she had gone far enough, Leo turned around in the direction she went as his expression turned cold. This girl took his mother's name, Lin Cheng. She always looked for ways so she could mock him. He disliked her because of this.
With a cold snort, he continued on his way only to meet someone who made him almost puke after reaching home, Mr. Hu.
His face turned ugly instantly; he couldn't hold it anymore. As he roared, "Won't you just give up, Mr. Hu?".
Leo's mother was shocked.
Mr. Hu was startled for a moment before his expression turned ugly. He tried to force a smile, Leo.
But Leo didn't wait for him to finish his sentence before he continued. I admire your persistence in trying to win my mother's heart, but can't you see she wants to live a life of her own and doesn't want to be with you? Just give up. Your persistence has become so admirable that it's already getting disgusting.
He said this with a look of exhaustion; he had just released what he was holding back for the past six years.
Leo, stop! Mr. Hu, please.
Don't tell me to stop, Mom; I'm not done talking.
He said before she could finish what she was about to say. Mr. Hu, if it's about the money for the hospital bill and whatever, I, Leo, will definitely pay you back with interest. I just ask that you give me 2 years, and I promise I will repay you. Leo said with a sigh. He really hoped Mr. Hu would agree to this request. ( * * ; )
