Chapter 47 - Changing wards
Jiang Hao wanted to go after them, but Xue Yu Ning had already run far away.
He sighed and went straight to the window to queue up.
Ten minutes or so later, Jiang Hao returned upstairs with a handful of slips in his hand.
Xue Yuning was packing up her mother's things, looking like she was ready to live in the corridor.
Dr. Liang, on the other hand, looked a bit anxious and impatient as he took a white glance at the mother-daughter duo from time to time, and glanced at his watch every now and then.
"Hey, are you sure that kid didn't run away?" Dr. Liang said sarcastically, "Ah Yu Ning, I'm not saying you, you little girl is still too innocent to believe in anyone, as soon as I saw that kid is not a good person, and he even said something about having to pay a year of hospital fees!"
Laughing, Dr. Liang continued, "Don't you think about it, he looks poor and destitute, how can he have the money to pay for you? Besides, even if he pays for you, why should he? He doesn't want anything, so he gives you money? Come to your senses, huh?"
Dr. Liang looked at his watch again and sighed, "I don't think he'll be able to come, so you and your mother should stay here for now, if we run out of hospital fees, we won't be able to stay in the corridor by then, huh?"
Dr. Liang turned her head and was about to leave when she saw Jiang Hao walking towards her, she couldn't help but be slightly surprised, but soon calmed down a bit.
"Yoo-hoo, didn't expect to come back? What's the matter, did you finish paying the money? How many days have you been paying?"
Dr. Liang's tone sounded as if he had a needle in it, and it sounded harsh.
Jiang Hao's face was expressionless as he stopped in front of her, looked at Xue Yuning behind him and said, "Yuning, pack up your aunt's things."
Xue Yuning was stunned at her words and hurriedly said, "Pack up your things? Why?"
The doctor sneered and interrupted, "Haha, there's no need to ask, I guess not only did he not pay your mother's hospital fees, he probably just did the discharge procedures for your mother, right?"
After saying that, Dr. Liang burst into a sarcastic smile.
Xue Yu Ning couldn't help but stare at Jiang Hao, looking at him with some consternation and unease, wanting an answer.
Jiang Hao, however, smiled, "Don't listen to some people's nonsense, pack your things, I've already done the preparations for Auntie to change the ward, we'll go to the senior ward upstairs later, I've already paid for a whole year."
Hearing Jiang Hao's words, not only Xue Yu Ning, but also Dr Liang was astonished.
"Jiang Hao you."
Xue Yuning seemed to be about to say something, but she was directly interrupted by Dr. Liang.
"You just blow it off you, huh, are you not awake early in the morning? A poor man, you still think you're rich?"
At this moment, Dr. Liang even had a hint of contempt in her expression when she looked at Jiang Hao again.
She had originally thought that Jiang Hao was a person who liked to pretend, but she didn't expect that he would like to pretend so much.
You can't even afford to stay in an ordinary ward, and you're still talking about staying in a high-class ward? Can you blow your cow hide any bigger?
Dr. Liang looked at Jiang Hao with a face full of ridicule, thinking, "I'll see how far you can go with this drama.
At this moment, Xue Yuning also looked at Jiang Hao with a helpless face.
She knew very well that Jiang Hao was talking out of his ass, and that even if he opened a high class ward, he would at most be staying there for a day or two.
By the time the money was spent, the mother would still have to leave the hospital obediently.
And at the end of the day, the mother and daughter would be the laughing stock of others.
Some people would even point at their backs and insult them behind their backs: it's not enough that they are poor, they don't even have any backbone, they can't even afford to eat, and they still dare to stay in a high-class ward that costs hundreds of dollars a day.
Xue Yuning looked at Jiang Hao helplessly, always a little uncomfortable in her heart.
At this moment, however, Jiang Hao looked calm.
He looked at Dr. Liang and calmly said, "I hope that in a moment you will keep your promise, I can't care if you let that relative of yours stay in the corridor or not, but you have to apologise to me!"
After he finished speaking, Jiang Hao fiercely handed the pile of slips in his hand to Dr. Liang, his expression raw and cold.
But Dr. Liang didn't take it seriously at all, instead he laughed, "Haha, you're really a drama queen, what, you can't wait to be mocked by me that badly? I really have some trouble thinking of people like you"
After she finished speaking, she casually swept a glance at the bill that was issued by the inpatient department, thinking to herself that in a moment, I'll see what else you have to say, he really didn't know whether this Jiang Hao had a brain problem or if he really liked to be humiliated.
But soon, her smile froze on her face, and then she hurriedly rubbed her eyes and rubbed the slip again.
The slip was definitely real, but why was the amount of payment shown on it, over three hundred thousand?
Jiang Hao smiled when he saw that expression on Dr Liang's face.
"How about it, can you apologise now?" Jiang Hao said lightly, "You're not going to deny it, are you?"
"You, you, you," Dr. Liang was actually a little incoherent for a moment, completely baffled.
She couldn't believe it, how could such an ordinary looking person be able to come up with over 300,000 at once? And after spending so much money in one breath, he was still so calm, as if nothing had happened.
Could it be that he was really some kind of rich kid?
But how could it be? What kind of rich kid would dress so poorly? Unless there was something wrong with his brain.
"What's wrong? Want to renege on your debt?" Jiang Hao laughed and questioned, "Do you want me to tell everyone about what you did before?"
Jiang Hao's words completely enraged Dr. Liang, who was already in a difficult state of mind.
She glared angrily at Jiang Hao and directly tore the slips to pieces with one hand.
"No you this is a fake! It must be a fake!" Dr. Liang furiously threw the pieces of paper at Jiang Hao's face and shouted angrily, "What the hell are you? I'm just playing with you, and you dare to talk to me like that? Do you really think you're some kind of character?"
"What kind of a character am I?" Jiang Hao laughed, "I'm just someone you can't afford to mess with."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head to pick up Xue Yuning's mother, "Aunty, let's go."
Xue Yu Ning's mother looked at Jiang Hao with a stunned expression, and then looked at Xue Yu Ning, as if she had not yet reacted to what had happened.
She naturally didn't know that Jiang Hao had just paid off his one-year hospital bill.
The three of them walked towards the lift, and when they passed Dr. Liang, Jiang Hao stopped in his tracks and said indifferently, "I'll wait for you to apologise, don't forget!"
After he said that, he helped Xue Yu Ning's mother to continue walking.
That Dr. Liang was about to explode, pointing at Jiang Hao's back and shouting, "Apologise to you? You're worthy of that?"
As he watched the trio get on the lift, Dr. Liang was shaking with anger.
She couldn't face the fact that she had been slapped in the face by such a person, and her heart was boiling with anger.
But even if Jiang Hao had paid off the hospital bill, she didn't feel bad, thinking that the other party was just a rich kid who didn't want to show off, so she wouldn't apologise, what could he do?
Even if he was powerful and had a background, could he still reach into the hospital?
Dr. Liang didn't take it seriously. He glared hard at the direction of the lift, turned his head and went back to his office.
Upstairs, the senior ward.
At first, Xue Yu Ning's mother thought that Jiang Hao had opened a bed in an ordinary ward, but when she saw that it was such a high-class ward, she immediately didn't even dare to enter the door.
"Child, I don't dare to stay here, this night is more expensive than a hotel, I think I'd better go back and sleep in the corridor."
Seeing that her mother wanted to go back. Although Xue Yu Ning was also a bit reluctant, she still said to Jiang Hao, "Yes Jiang Hao, this place is too expensive, we understand your feelings, but we really can't accept this, I think you'd better return it, your family's conditions"
"Aiya, this ward can't be returned!" Jiang Hao said with a frown, "And you guys just stay in peace, I opened it for a year, and the money was spent anyway"
When she heard that she had paid for the ward for a year, Xue Yu Ning's mother frowned, thinking how much money that would cost, so that she would be even more afraid to stay.
In the end, Jiang Hao was able to talk his way through Xue Yuning's mother's thoughts.
However, Xue Yuning still seemed worried, after all, she knew very well how Jiang Hao could keep such a high class ward for a whole year.
She could stay for one day, and when people came to urge her mother to leave the hospital, she could just leave.
When the time came, she would think of a way to return the money to Jiang Hao.
Xue Yu Ning looked at the phone, the night it but also to go to the bar residency it.
Chapter 48: Not even worthy of a shoe shine
Chu Jiang, Global Tower, in an office on the top floor.
Ye Yunjie was standing by the huge floor-to-ceiling window with a frosty expression on her face, as if she was suppressing the anger in her heart.
Behind her, Master Meng Jiu was standing there with his back deeply bent, not daring to take a breath, beads of sweat hanging on his face.
"Miss Ye Ye, I know that this time it was a dereliction of duty on my part, please fold your sin" said Master Meng Jiu in a frightened voice, "but I beg you to give me another chance to make up for my mistake, I will definitely make up for my fault."
Ye Yunjie looked back with an icy gaze, "You can deal with the person who beat him up yourself, you will go with me later to make amends with Jiang Shao!"
Master Meng Jiu hurriedly nodded his head with a hunched back, "Yes, yes, I will definitely take care of this matter."
Ye Yunjie nodded, "As for how Jiang Shao will actually deal with you, it's up to your fate."
Hearing Ye Yunjie's words, Master Meng Jiu was like a great pardon and hurriedly nodded his head, thanking him repeatedly.
Just then, a young man violently pushed the door in and said with an excited look on his face, "Sister Ye, we found the whereabouts of young Jiang, he's at the First City Hospital!"
Hearing this news, Ye Yunjie's gloomy face suddenly blossomed with a trace of spirit and hurriedly said, "Prepare the car, I'll go to the First Hospital right away!"
After speaking, Ye Yunjie stepped out of the room, and when Master Meng Jiu saw this, he also hurriedly chased after her.
Half an hour later, Chujiang First Hospital.
Xue Yuning's mother had already fallen asleep, the morning's torment had made the woman a little tired and she was sleeping deeply.
Xue Yuning touched Jiang Hao, signalling for him to go out for a while.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as he stepped out of the ward, Jiang Hao hurriedly asked curiously.
Xue Yuning took out a handful of money from her bosom, which looked like seven to eight thousand, and shoved it into Jiang Hao's hand.
"What are you," Jiang Hao couldn't help but stare.
"Thank you Jiang Hao." Xue Yu Ning said, "This is all the money I have on me now, I don't know how much you've paid, but don't worry, I'll give it back to you sooner or later."
Jiang Hao hurriedly shook his head and shoved the money back into Xue Yu Ning's hand.
"No, no, no, Yu Ning you've misunderstood!" Jiang Hao said, "I didn't want this money at all, you need money now, it just so happens that I still have it, so I'll just give it to you for emergencies first, don't worry, I'll take care of all of Auntie's expenses from now on!"
Jiang Hao patted his chest and said with a smile.
In Jiang Hao's opinion, he had only spent a total of 300,000 yuan, which was only a few days' bank interest, but he had actually helped Xue Yuning, so he felt that it was worth it.
The most crucial thing was that at this moment, Jiang Hao felt that he could help this young girl in front of him, and he would feel good in his heart.
It had been a long time since Jiang Hao had had this feeling, and he seemed to remember that not long ago, when Fang Xiao had suddenly appeared in his life, deep inside him, he had also had this kind of stirring.
And Jiang Hao felt that Xue Yuning would gladly accept this kind of help from himself.
But he was wrong.
Xue Yuning's gaze lowered, as if she was thinking about something, and raised her head, "Jiang Hao, I don't want you to be so nice to me, how long have we only known each other? I might have something else on your mind right now, but I'm sorry, right now my mum's still sick, I I really don't want to be sorry."
After Xue Yu Ning said these words, it was as if she let out a long sigh of relief and her whole expression was much more relaxed.
But Jiang Hao's heart felt as if a stone had been pressed into it, and it felt uncomfortable.
But then, Xue Yu Ning continued, "Also, as a friend, I have something else I want to say to you."
Jiang Hao's face was expressionless and he lowered his head without saying a word, the words that echoed in his mind were still the same words that Xue Yuning had just said.
Xue Yu Ning ignored this and continued, "I know you are a good-hearted person who likes to help people, but I think people like us need to recognise ourselves, I know you must not have an easy life either, so there are times when we have to resign ourselves to fate, you are not rich, we don't have money"
Xue Yu Ning paused and then continued, "Hey, I may be a bit hard to hear, but I'll say it anyway! Jiang Hao, you're a person who likes to pretend too much and is too good at saving face. Because of a few words from others, you have to give everything you have just to dismiss a few points of face, don't you think you're too stupid like that?"
Xue Yuning's words made Jiang Hao stare in awe!
It was only here that Jiang Hao realised that he was like this in Xue Yuning's eyes.
He had always felt like he was pretending? That he had done all of this himself to scrape together all of his family's money in order to show off in front of others?
Jiang Hao smiled and sighed.
Originally, he had done it to keep his identity a secret, not wanting to show his identity to everyone.
But what happened? What he had attracted was a surprising misunderstanding from everyone, even a suspicion that he had a problem?
Jiang Hao looked at Xue Yuning and said indifferently, "Yuning, you misunderstood me, really, I'm actually a rich second generation!"
Jiang Hao said to Xue Yuning with a straight face.
After hearing Jiang Hao's words, Xue Yuning once again looked him up and down and surprisingly smiled.
But it was a bitter smile.
"Jiang Hao, I'm really treating you as a good friend, so with me you don't have to be like this alright?" Xue Yu Ning said, "You're a rich second generation? Have you ever seen a rich second generation like you?"
After hearing Jiang Hao's words, Xue Yuning seemed a little upset and sighed heavily, hesitating for a while before speaking, "Originally I thought you were just being facetious before, but now it seems that I was wrong, Jiang Hao, you're too hypocritical! I'm your friend, is it interesting for you to tell me such lies?"
After she finished speaking, Xue Yu Ning turned her head and looked at her mother on the hospital bed.
Originally, she still had great hopes for Jiang Hao, but she didn't expect Jiang Hao to be so hypocritical, and all those good impressions he had in Xue Yu Ning's heart had almost collapsed.
"I'm not lying to you, really!" Jiang Hao said with a serious face, "My dad hey, plus why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, I'll transfer a sum of money to you here, then you'll know I'm not lying again!"
Xue Yu Ning smiled and looked at Jiang Hao with some suspicion, but her face suddenly turned cold and she said, "No need!"
With those words, she walked straight into the ward.
Jiang Hao had wanted to follow her in, but Xue Yuning closed the door as soon as she could.
Jiang Hao scratched his head anxiously and said, "I'm not lying, do you still remember the previous incident where someone rewarded you with more than 100,000 yuan? Do you really think it was that boy who rewarded you? Oh, it was actually me."
But no matter what Jiang Hao said, Xue Yu Ning just didn't say a word, let alone open the door.
Jiang Hao wanted to knock on the door, but he was afraid of waking up Xue Yuning's mother if he was too loud, so he had to give up.
He was a bit frustrated, everything he said was true, why didn't she believe him?
In fact, it was very simple to prove that what he said was true, as long as he could transfer a sum of money to her, he would know everything, but Xue Yuning did not say anything, he did not even know a card number, how could he transfer it?
Jiang Hao stood forlornly for a while, turned his head and walked away.
He went downstairs and prepared to go back to school.
But Jiang Hao had just reached the hospital lobby when he looked up sharply and saw that familiar figure.
Dr. Liang also froze when he saw Jiang Hao, then his gaze turned gloomy and he actually took the initiative to walk over to Jiang Hao.
"Oh, what a coincidence, how can I meet you anywhere?"
Jiang Hao also looked at the other party, this Dr. Liang was all though hidden behind a white lab coat and her face was covered with a mask, but Jiang Hao could tell that this woman was beautiful, in her thirties, just when women were at their most charming.
"You still owe me an apology." Jiang Hao said indifferently, "When are you going to honour your promise?"
Hearing those words, Dr Liang's face changed wildly and he glared at Jiang Hao with a look of contempt, saying, "You're dreaming, I've said it all, what kind of a person are you? How dare you talk to me like that? Oh, don't you think you're ridiculous? I won't apologize, I'll just humiliate you, what can you do to me?"
Dr. Liang gave a sarcastic laugh and said, "I'm afraid you haven't seen clearly what you really are, have you? In this society, you and I are not at all on the same level. Do you think that someone like you can really do anything to me? What a joke!"
As soon as Dr. Liang finished speaking, almost before Jiang Hao could open his mouth to respond, a voice suddenly came from not far away.
"You are indeed not on the same level, you are not even worthy of shining his shoes!"
