When the boy heard Lu Tao's question, he glanced up at him and replied sullenly: "My name is Lin Pingping, and Lin Susu is my sister." ”

Lu Tao judged from the tone of his voice and the expression on his face: This is a very loyal and honest boy who has never seen much of the world, and he is probably frightened by his sister's affairs, so he looks a little weak and timid, and his eyes are evasive, and he never dares to look at himself.

So, he sat down next to Lin Pingping, took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, popped one out and handed it to him, but he shook his hand and said, "I don't smoke." ”

Lu Tao took a cigarette in his mouth, and just wanted to use a lighter to light the fire, a nurse happened to pass by, and shouted: "No smoking here!"

Lu Tao was startled, then he remembered that he was in the hospital now, so he quickly extinguished the fire, put the cigarette back into the cigarette case, leaned back on the chair, and didn't know how to talk to Lin Susu, the taciturn brother, for a while.

After sitting on the chair for a few minutes, Lu Tao suddenly remembered that Luo Zhihui said something at the dinner table: according to Lin Susu's confession, in order to lure her into a trap, Liang Fatzi promised to lend her 50,000 yuan to her mother for heart bypass surgery, and also promised to find a relationship for her and go through the procedures for her father to be released on bail pending trial......

So, he suddenly asked, "Little brother, is your mother hospitalized in the provincial capital?"

Lin Pingping glanced at him sideways in a little surprise, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Hmm." ”

"What is your mother's illness, and in which hospital was she hospitalized?"

"She has a heart attack and is now living in the Provincial People's Hospital. ”

"Is your mother going to have heart bypass surgery?"

Lin Pingping glanced sideways at him again, nodded and said, "Hmm." The doctor had scheduled to operate on my mother tomorrow, but he needed to pay a deposit of 50,000 yuan first. Two days ago, my sister paid 10,000 yuan, but the hospital said that the operation would cost at least about 70,000 yuan, and the deposit of 10,000 yuan was not enough. My sister promised them another 50,000 yuan to send to the hospital today, but she didn't expect this to happen again, and it seems that my mother's surgery can't be done. ”

Lu Tao understood as soon as he heard it: the reason why Lin Susu committed suicide was not only because he was ashamed, but also because he was unable to collect the surgery fees for his mother and could not get his father out of the detention center, so he felt extremely desperate, so he wanted to die......

So, he stood up and said to Lin Pingping: "Pingping, you take me to the Provincial People's Hospital, I want to visit your mother." ”

Lin Pingping actually didn't know what happened to his sister, but after Lin Susu jumped off the building and was rescued in the morning, the police found his mobile phone number from her mobile phone and called him from the Provincial People's Hospital, wanting him to accompany her. persuaded her, but did not tell him the real reason for Lin Susu's suicide, so he didn't know what happened last night at all, nor did he know the grievances between Lu Tao and his sister, and thought that Lu Tao was a good friend of his sister, seeing that he was going to visit his mother, he subconsciously glanced at the two policemen, and asked a little hesitantly: "Comrade police want me to accompany my sister, I am afraid that she will commit suicide again, is it appropriate for me to go now?"

Lu Tao hurriedly said: "Your sister is guarded by police comrades now, and there will be nothing wrong." I'll go with you to the Provincial People's Hospital to visit your mother, it's okay. ”

Lin Pingping was also worried that it would be inconvenient for his mother to be alone over there, so he stood up, said to the two policemen at the door, and took Lu Tao's taxi to the Provincial People's Hospital. After Lu Tao got out of the car, he first bought a little fruit in the small supermarket at the entrance of the hospital, bought a red envelope for "early recovery", stuffed 1,000 yuan in cash into the red envelope, and then followed Lin Pingping into the ward.

Because he was worried that his mother would have a heart attack due to stimulation, Lin Pingping did not tell her about his sister. Therefore, when she saw Lu Tao carrying a fruit bag and following Lin Pingping into the ward, Lin Susu's mother immediately struggled to sit up from the bed and kept thanking Lu Tao.

Lu Tao also greeted her with a smile, and stuffed the red envelope under her pillow, asked about her condition, said a few words of blessing, and then said, "Auntie, I am Su Su's best friend." She has been arranged by the Peking Opera Company to perform in other places in the past two days, and she can't come to the hospital to accompany you for surgery for the time being, so she entrusted me to pay her a hospital deposit. You can rest assured that she will rush to the hospital to accompany you as soon as she completes her performance tasks. ”

When Lin Pingping heard his last few words, he looked at him with surprised eyes, his mouth opened, and he was about to ask a question, but Lu Tao quickly turned his head, winked at him a few times, and asked with a smile: "Pingping, is Auntie's ID card with you?" ”

Although Lin Pingping was introverted, he was not stupid, and when he saw Lu Tao winking at him vigorously, he knew that he was worried that his mother would be suspicious after asking a question, so he quickly stopped, took Lu Tao to the doctor's office, and said to an attending doctor: "Doctor Cao, our surgery deposit is complete, if I go to pay now, can I operate on my mother tomorrow?"

After receiving Dr. Cao's affirmative answer, Lin Pingping silently took Lu Tao to the toll office. Lu Tao took out his bank card, swiped the card and paid a deposit of 50,000 yuan, put the receipt into his wallet, and said to Lin Pingping: "Your mother will have surgery tomorrow, and the doctor will inform the family of some matters, and the family members need to sign, so don't go to the maternal and child health hospital, go and accompany your mother!"

Lin Pingping stared at him with grateful eyes, suddenly bent down and bowed respectfully to him, Lu Tao hurriedly hugged his fist and saluted him in return, and then hurriedly walked out of the hospital gate, took a taxi and returned to the Furong District Maternal and Child Health Hospital, walked into the elevator room on the first floor, and suddenly found a familiar figure waiting for the elevator.

At this time, Du Xiaoyu also saw him, and suddenly showed a mocking smile on her face, and asked in her voice as beautiful as the sound of a warbler's voice: "Half a fellow, why are you here too?" I guess, you are also going to visit Sister Susu, right?"

At first, Lu Tao thought that she was also here to see a doctor or visit some relatives, but she didn't expect her to ask herself bluntly if she was going to visit Lin Susu, and judging from her smiling expression and ambiguous eyes, she must have heard about what happened between herself and Lin Susu last night, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed, smiled awkwardly, and asked, "How do you know that Miss Susu is hospitalized here?"

Du Xiaoyu glanced at him with meaningful eyes and said, "Not only do I know that Sister Su Su is hospitalized here, but I also know that you and she were framed last night and almost went to the detention center." You look quite clever, why are you so scheming and defenseless? I don't know if you have been drugged, but you are still a martial arts master. ”

Speaking of this, she sighed softly and said, "I knew this kind of thing would happen, I would have accompanied you to have supper last night." If I were there, they wouldn't dare to attack you. ”
