Chapter 378: Chapter 378: One After Another
At this moment, a flash of red suddenly appeared at his feet.
He casually looked down and noticed something bulging in the grass, wrapped in red paper.
It seemed like...
Han Sheng’s eyes lit up as he quickly looked around and found no one. He swiftly bent down and picked up the item from the grass.
After picking it up, he quietly opened a corner of the red paper, and when he saw the familiar red color inside, his eyes gleamed and he immediately tucked it inside his coat, quickly leaving the place.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered the crazy person he’d just encountered.
That person said not to pick up money wrapped in red paper...
Han Sheng sneered, only a fool wouldn’t pick it up!
He lowered his head and quickly left, unable to restrain his hand from slipping into the coat and gently pinching the money wrapped in red paper, estimating it to be thirty thousand!
If it’s not thirty thousand, it’s at least twenty thousand!
Han Sheng thought about how he had found so much money today, and his heart was filled with excitement.
He must be in for some great luck!
Han Sheng walked quickly, fearing the owner would come back to find the money or that he’d be caught on surveillance cameras.
He thought for a moment and directly turned into a path without any cameras.
As for the blind date?
Having picked up so much money, he had to go home first! Who cares about the blind date!
Returning to his apartment complex, Han Sheng’s face was beaming with a big smile. He was full of anticipation and just wanted to get home quickly, shut the door, and count the money in his coat!
"Oh no~"
Not paying attention to his foot, Han Sheng sprained it while going up the stairs.
What was most unfortunate was that he was right at his home, tripping on the final step!
Han Sheng pouted and hopped into the house, his mind still on the money in his coat.
Once inside, Han Sheng quickly shut the door and called out inside.
"Xianxian? Are you home?"
There was no response from inside. He hopped around to check each room and confirmed his boyfriend wasn’t home.
Uh... yes, Han Sheng is a man, but he has a boyfriend!
So the pressure from his family to get married gave him a headache.
His family didn’t know about his sexual orientation, and he didn’t dare let them know.
After starting work, he moved out to live on his own. He’s been dating his current boyfriend for two months and he really likes him.
Seeing that his boyfriend wasn’t home, Han Sheng went to his room, locked the door, and carefully took out the money from his coat.
He hopped onto the bed, intensely excited as he tore off the red paper wrapper and tossed it into the trash can.
"Thirty thousand!"
Han Sheng exclaimed excitedly upon seeing the three bundles of money neatly bound together.
He picked up a bundle, quickly counted it, then another and another, finishing all three bundles in no time. Indeed, it was exactly thirty thousand!!!
Han Sheng was filled with joy, laughing happily as he stowed the money in his cabinet.
He thought for a moment, took out a thousand from the pile, and locked the rest away.
He picked up his phone and messaged his boyfriend to say they should eat out tonight!
Just as he sent the message, his mom’s phone call came through.
Seeing the call from his mom, Han Sheng really didn’t want to pick it up, but... if he didn’t, his mom would definitely come over!
With a sigh, he helplessly answered the phone.
"Hello, Mom..."
"Where are you now? Didn’t we agree on the blind date? Do you know what time it is? It’s so late!!!
The girl’s been waiting for you for such a long time, why didn’t you go!!?"
Han Sheng held the phone away, rubbed his ear, sighed, and said, "Mom, I was just about to call you; I accidentally sprained my foot and can’t walk now. I haven’t even gone to the hospital yet..."
"A sprained foot? Ha, do you think I believe that!" Han Sheng’s mom didn’t buy his excuse.
Helpless, Han Sheng looked at his foot, realizing it was swollen, and felt a sudden panic, saying, "Really, Mom, I’ll show you on a video call. It’s already swollen!"
He hung up and immediately made a video call. Seeing her son’s swollen foot, Han Sheng’s mom looked displeased.
"You better get to a hospital to check that it isn’t bone damage. I’ll tell Aunt Zhang to apologize to the girl’s family... honestly, you always have something going on..."
After hanging up, Han Sheng looked at his foot and pressed on it; it really hurt!
He tried to put some weight on it and screamed in pain.
Tears in his eyes, he called his boyfriend to come back and take him to the hospital.
"What, a bone fracture!!!"
Han Sheng stared disbelievingly at the X-ray, "Doctor, I just wasn’t paying attention on the stairs and twisted it, how could it be a fracture?"
The doctor glanced at the X-ray, "Is this Han Sheng?"
"Yes."
"Then it’s correct, this is your X-ray. Are you sure you didn’t get hit? It was just a minor sprain?" the doctor asked Han Sheng, looking skeptical.
Feeling a bit on edge, Han Sheng said, "Really doctor, I just lightly sprained it."
Standing by, Han Sheng’s boyfriend looked at the X-ray, then at Han Sheng, a flicker of darkness in his eyes.
With no other choice, Han Sheng got a cast put on his foot.
With the cast on, he couldn’t go to work at present and had to take leave from his boss.
However...
As soon as Han Sheng requested leave, his boss immediately replied, "You don’t need to come anymore."
Han Sheng was stunned, confusedly looking at the message on his phone. What did this mean?
He hurriedly called his boss to inquire and explain.
Yet the boss wouldn’t listen to his explanation and just said that accounting would send him last month’s salary and he was fired!
Baffled, Han Sheng lifted his head and looked at his boyfriend, "Xianxian..., I got fired?"
Han Sheng’s boyfriend paused at Han Sheng’s words, looking at him puzzled, "Didn’t you ask for leave? How did you get fired?"
Han Sheng shook his head, "I don’t know either..."
"Why don’t you ask your colleagues what’s the situation."
Han Sheng lowered his head to message his colleague, who replied that the company fired three people today, and he was one of them.
Han Sheng:......
Han Sheng’s boyfriend asked, "What’s wrong?"
Feeling powerless, Han Sheng told him about the company layoffs, feeling a bit upset.
"Don’t be upset. Once you recover, you can look for a new job."
Han Sheng nodded, remembering the thirty thousand bucks he found today, and his spirits lifted instantly.
Thankfully he found thirty thousand, so it’s okay not to work for a while!
Just after returning home, Han Sheng received another call from his dad, and he reluctantly answered it.
"Son, your mom got hit by a car and is in the hospital. Come quickly..."
Han Sheng froze, "What? Mom got hit? How is she? Is it serious?"
"I don’t know; she’s been taken to the emergency room. I don’t know yet..."
Hearing his dad’s words, Han Sheng trembled, "Xianxian, quickly take me to the hospital!"
The two of them returned to the hospital. By the time they arrived, Han Sheng’s mom had already been wheeled out.
"Doctor, how is my mom?" Han Sheng asked, chilled to see his mom’s clothes covered in blood.
Doctor: "Your mom got hit on the head, has a mild concussion, a fractured arm, already operated on, and some soft tissue injuries to her body..."
After hearing the doctor’s words, Han Sheng and his dad sighed in relief.
