Chapter 181: Not the Richest Man Anymore

“No, I don't have the right to mention your grandma. If your grandmother wakes up and sees that the Fang family has been defeated by me, she will definitely be heartbroken. At that time, her condition will worsen. Sigh…”

Fang Liguo seemed to regret. “It's all our fault. It's only right that you hate us. We don't expect to be forgiven by you. If you're willing…”

Before he could finish, Fang Yuan interrupted, “No, I am not willing.”

Fang Liguo didn't anticipate her strong refusal, and he felt desperate. “Yuanyuan, what can 1 do to appease you? As long as I can do it…”

“Of course, you can,” Fang Yuan stated directly. “Compensate 60 million yuan. Take this money to the black market and purchase a few pills for Grandma.”

Fang Liguo recalled Dr. Chen Yang mentioning a type of medicine circulating on the black market. Each pill was valued at 10 million yuan, and taking two pills monthly allowed for surgery after three months. It was a better alternative than lingering in the hospital ward with life-support equipment. Given the rarity of the medicinal ingredients, the cost per pill was exorbitant.

Instinctively, Fang Liguo rejected the idea. He preferred to keep Madame Fang in the hospital, considering her 30% share ownership, valued at 300 million yuan. Besides, Madame Fang was biased; if she lost her composure and bequeathed the shares to Fang Yuan… He wanted to preserve Madame Old Fang's life to ensure she could pass the shares to Jiayi before her passing.

Thinking Fang Yuan might not be aware of his thoughts, he smiled and reassured her, “Yuanyuan, don't worry about Grandma. 1 will definitely save her. She's my biological mother! While the blackmarket may have some good and bad options, Renyi Hospital is the best in the country, renowned in the Cardiovascular Surgery Department. We have esteemed doctors like Professor Wang and Chen Yang… Your grandma is receiving top-notch care there. You can rest assured.”

Fang Yuan remained silent. It was clear to her that he was only calling to avoid paying the 60 million yuan compensation. Did he think she was naive and wouldn't catch on?

“Yuanyuan…”

“Two minutes are up.” Fang Yuan ended the call and added the number to her blacklist. Just as she was about to return to the laboratory, another unknown number called. It was likely

Fang Liguo using a different number.

Fang Yuan hung up once more, blacklisted the new number, and resumed her work in the laboratory.

Anticipating her actions, Fang Liguo had prepared for this. Before calling, he had acquired more than ten new numbers. Now, he dialed each one consecutively. If Fang Yuan blocked a number, he would switch to the next.

Eventually, Fang Yuan turned off her phone. It left Fang Liguo with no alternative.

“How did it go? What did she say?” Seeing Fang Liguo's defeated expression, Song Ling had a sinking feeling. “She still isn't answering your calls?”

“It's already turned off.” Fang Liguo sighed and glanced at his daughter on the sofa.

Fang Jiayi kept her head lowered, looking as if she had committed a grave mistake. Tears streamed down her face, adding to her pitiful appearance.

“That despicable girl… has gone too far!” Song Ling clenched her teeth, while Fang Yuan seethed with anger. “Regardless, we must keep this out of the news. Otherwise, not only will Jiayi's reputation be tarnished, but the Fang family's reputation will also be ruined!”

Humph! Wasn't it just 60 million yuan? He was the wealthiest person in Haicheng City; surely he could afford it!

Fang Liguo remained silent for a moment. Fie retrieved his phone and instructed his subordinates to sell several mansions and over ten shops under his name. “The payment must be made in full!”

Otherwise, the funds would take three days to be available after a series of transactions with the bank.

“Hurry up. If that doesn't work, lower the price…” Fang Liguo concluded the call and looked at his wife and daughter with a defeated expression. “Once we sell those, we'll only have this house and a few shops left under our name.”

The nanny serving tea on the side was stunned upon hearing these words. She lost her grip on the tray, and it clattered to the ground.

“What are you doing?” Song Ling, noticing the nanny's furtive expression, scolded, “Who are you trying to frighten?”

“Yes, I apologize, Madam. I didn't hold it securely.” The nanny thought to herself, “I'm on the verge of bankruptcy, and they're still acting like this! 1 need to find another family quickly. The Fang family is doomed!”

“Dad, Mom, I'm sorry…” Fang Jiayi sobbed, large tears streaming down her face. She appeared genuinely remorseful.

“Sigh…” Fang Liguo sighed. Once the shops and mansions were sold, he would no longer hold the title of the richest man in Haicheng City. His social standing would plummet instantly. This would make the Fang family's business even more precarious.

“It's all my fault.” Fang Jiayi recognized the severity of her actions.. Tearfully, she admitted, “If I hadn't returned to this house, Dad would still be the richest man in Haicheng City, and Mom would continue to lead a luxurious life… It's all my fault for bringing harm to you and this family! I'm truly sorry!”
