Chapter 171 - 171: 167: Plans Can’t Keep Up with Changes

“Go on.” Finn nodded.

“Could you lend me 5000 yuan? I lost my phone last night, and I have to go out to buy a new one.” Jason blurted out.

“Sure, no problem, come over later and I’ll give it to you.” Lost his phone? Finn was taken aback for a moment, but he didn’t say anything, he just nodded and agreed. After Jason finished speaking, he handed the phone back to their uncle who then took over the call. The uncle chattered about this and that for about a minute or two before he finally lowered his voice and asked, “Finn, this rascal came home yesterday saying he wants to go with you. Didn’t he go out with you yesterday? Did you persuade him to do it?”

“Uncle, don’t worry, since he’s decided to come with me, it’s a good thing. Aren’t you at ease leaving him to me? I guarantee he’ll learn.” Finn spoke with a

smile, guessing his uncle must have stepped out of earshot so Jason wouldn’t overhear the phone call.

“He… he just asked you for money, didn’t he? What if he’s just making up excuses to borrow from you?” His uncle asked worryingly, “Usually we don’t dare to give him too much money, and without a source of income, he wouldn’t go out and cause trouble if he doesn’t have the money.”

Finn slightly shook his head, you could tell how much of a troublemaker Jason was. At twenty-three or twenty-four years old, he still relied on money from home. If his uncle and aunt were making good money it would be different, but both his uncle and aunt worked for others. The two of them together probably only made five or six thousand yuan a month.

“Uncle, don’t worry, he knows I have money now. If he didn’t genuinely want to change, he probably wouldn’t have just asked me for 5000 yuan.” Finn thought for a moment before saying. But he couldn’t tell them about what happened last night. If they found out, they would definitely not understand.

To set Jason straight, that heavy-handed method of last night was necessary. Let him know that the women he thinks of as goddesses, or essentially everything he knows, is nothing to some others. They could beckon or dismiss at will. The impact this would have on his mindset is obvious.

In the past, he simply knew about these things but realized that he stood no chance no matter what. Now, Finn was giving him the opportunity. With hope, naturally comes motivation.

Once he takes this first step, even if he wanted to go back, he likely wouldn’t want to. After smoothing things over with his uncle, Finn hung up the phone. By late morning, Jason came over to find Finn, who didn’t waste words. He had Fishy Wells take out 5000 yuan to give to Jason and sent him off to deal with his affairs.

“Finn, why did you give him money? Do you still think he’s innocent? That rascal, sigh…. there’s no helping him.” His aunt watched Finn give Jason money. Although she didn’t say anything in front of Jason, as soon as he left, she couldn’t help but speak up.

“Aunt, don’t worry. He lost his phone yesterday and borrowed money from me to buy a new one. Plus, he’s already decided to come with me to Celeston City. Once there, he won’t know anyone. If I want to set him straight, it’ll only take a minute.” Finn said with a smile.

“Really? How did you convince him? Yesterday when you talked to him, he looked pretty unhappy.” His aunt asked curiously. They had tried to help him before, finding him several decent jobs. Even though the salary wasn’t high to start, at least it was steady work. But for most of the jobs, he couldn’t stick it out for even a month before giving up.

“Yesterday, I took him out for a while and had a heart-to-heart with him. This is a brotherly matter, so you guys don’t need to ask about it.” Finn said with a

smile.

“Fine, we won’t ask then. But Finn, from now on Jason is in your hands. Your uncle only has one son. You’d better keep an eye on him. If he turns out bad, just wait until I get back to whip you.” Hazel said.

“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ve got this.” Finn said with a laugh.

“By the way, where is my second aunt?” Finn looked around. Sophie Lee had showed up earlier that morning, but then she disappeared, and he didn’t know where she had gone.

“She went out to buy meat for you. Don’t you just love meat?” Fay Wells gave Finn a look, “Alright then.” Finn scratched his head, he was a meat eater. The food in Celeston City tended to be lighter, he preferred the hearty northern dishes.

“By the way, when are you leaving?” Fay sat down on the sofa and looked at Finn as she asked.

Finn thought about it and replied: “Probably in three or four days. The house we bought there is fully furnished, ready to move into. I need to make sure you all are settled in. How about we all go see the house this afternoon? If there’s anything you find unsuitable, we can hire someone to renovate it.”

“We can discuss that when we see the house. But your elder aunt and your second uncle…” Fay hesitated, then asked again.

“Mom, don’t worry about that, I’ve got everything under control. Olivia and Leo both live in Hello City, right? I bought a house for my elder aunt too, but haven’t informed them yet. My uncle is a middle school teacher, he won’t be able to move out for a while. But it’s good to have a house ready for them, even if they don’t move in now, Olivia can live there.” Finn nodded as he spoke.

“Mmm, alright. As long as you handle it, I can rest easy.” Fay nodded approvingly. She didn’t know how much money her son had earned, and although buying so many houses must be very costly, Finn’s parents were not the kind to take without giving. Instead, they were very pleased that Finn had thought of these things.

Almost everyone had gathered by noon. Even though the aunt’s house was large, it soon became packed with people. Everyone was smiling. Even the second brother-in-law had asked for leave from school. As for college schedules, they tend to be flexible, he could simply switch his classes. The eldest sister and brother-in-law also arrived, practically no one was missing, as they were all going to see the house in the afternoon.

Finn didn’t arrange a separate villa for his parents either, instead setting them up in connected townhouse villas. The separate villas were a bit far from the others, putting his parents together so they wouldn’t be lonely. They could visit others whenever they felt like it.

Finn had already called the sales department to arrange everything. No one would spill the beans, as they knew what they should and shouldn’t say. The manager was quite efficient as well, directly renting a bus to take Finn and the others to see the house..
