Chapter 9 The game begins
If you want a glimmer of relief, but you always need more pain to pay ...... priceβ
In the hospital ward, Zhong Yilan looked at her daughter who was a little distracted on the rest chair, this state has continued since that day, and when she asked about discharge, her daughter was always avoiding it intentionally or unintentionally.
"Ningning." Zhong Yilan walked over and patted her on the shoulder, "What have you been thinking about these days?" Is it not going well at work? β
"Huh?" Xue Zuining looked up at Mother Xue, who walked to her side at some point, and hurriedly moved out of a position, "Mom, the doctor said that you shouldn't stand for a long time, sit down." β
Mother Xue gently pressed her hand to support herself, and smiled gently, "Today's weather is quite cool, let's go down for a walk with my mother." β
In the small garden attached to the hospital, it was almost dusk, and the heat gradually subsided, so from time to time there were people wearing hospital gowns walking by, Xue Zuining held Xue's mother's arm, soaked in soft light, and walked slowly on the small stone path.
Mother Xue glanced sideways at her daughter who was grinning gently, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Your feet hurt?" β
Xue Zuining smiled reluctantly and shook his head, "It doesn't hurt." If Mom likes it, we'll go back and forth today and smooth out all these soft stones. β
"Poor mouth!" Mother Xue smiled and blamed her hard-mouthed daughter, took her to the side of the chair and sat down, looked at the thin sweat on her forehead, and took out a handkerchief to wipe it off for her, "You, you're afraid of pain, you're afraid of heights, and you're a dead duck with a hard mouth!" β
"Mom is the best!" Xue Zuining listened to Mother Xue's words, but sweetly hugged her shoulders, took the handkerchief, and wiped the soil from her palm accidentally, but suddenly felt that the blue butterfly embroidery was a little familiar.
"It turns out that this handkerchief is also a mass-produced mass product." Xue Zuining flipped the handkerchief over and over again, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but ripple into a sneering smile, it turns out that rich people also like to take the route of small citizens!
"Have you seen anything else?" Mother Xue's tone was a little surprised, but she saw her nodding while folding the handkerchief, "Yes, it's just that I've seen white embroidery on a blue background, while yours is blue embroidery on a white background, just the opposite!" β
Mother Xue watched her daughter put the neatly folded handkerchief back into her palm, and the slightly cool silk rubbed her skin, bringing her a different throbbing in her heart.
The two of them sat quietly in the soft dusk, watching the sunset slowly fall down the western mountain, until the nurse informed Xue's mother that it was time to go back to the ward to hang water, and the mother and daughter returned together.
In the ward, Dr. Li heard someone shouting at him not far after the routine examination, but when he looked back, he found that it was her, and smiled slightly, "Miss Xue, what's wrong?" Is there something wrong with your mother? β
Xue Zuining hurriedly stopped him who was about to go back, walked to the family rest area, and made sure that the conversation between the two would not be heard by Xue's mother before asking, "Doctor Li, I want to know about the matter of Lu Dao before you said that you would come forward to contact Xishan Sanatorium, do you have a reply?" Xue's mother was already suspicious of her repeated statements, she was worried that she would not be able to hide it, and in recent days, she has even been so anxious that she has become angry, but the hospital has not heard from her.
"Miss Xue, as a doctor, I can understand your current mood, but with such an inter-hospital exchange, we can't have a way to achieve the goal right away." Dr. Li was quite serious and understood the girl's predicament, so he sighed lightly, "Last week, our hospital has contacted the person in charge of Xishan Sanatorium, and it stands to reason that there should have been an exact answer, but Xishan Sanatorium is a private institution, and the procedure should be more complicated. Don't worry, wait, I'll let you know as soon as there is news. β
Or wait! Xue Zuining couldn't help but be a little deflated, when would such a shirk be the end.
Doctor Li looked at her instantly gloomy eyes and patted her shoulder encouragingly, "Don't give up, although we are not relatives of the imperial family, we can't catch up with the Lu family, but businessmen, as long as there are interests, there is always a chance." β
However, Dr. Li's unintentional words made Xue Zuining reflexively raise his head, and there was some uncertainty in his voice, "Lu family? β
"Yes, the Lu family, the largest controlling person of Shengtian International!" Her surprise left Dr. Lee at a loss.
That business card!
Xue Zuining hurriedly thanked him, turned around and ran towards the stairs.
+++++ 68-storey high-rise building, the huge LED screen scrolls to broadcast the latest information, finance, entertainment, and high-end technology of Shengtian International......
Lu Huaining pursed his thin lips slightly, his slender fingers gently swayed the sweet red wine in the cup, and the thoughtful eyes in his eagle eyes quietly locked on the lights of the thousands of homes under his feet.
I come, I see, I conquer.
At this moment, Lu Huaining's eyes revealed such a look, absolute arrogance, absolute control, he looked down at the prosperity under his feet, as if all this was in his pocket.
The phone rang again, and he glanced at the jumping numbers, the corners of his lips curled in sneer, and now, too, it was time for the cat-and-mouse game to come to an end for a while.
Fingers slid the screen, picked it up, and only after three seconds did I hear an uncertain voice from the other end, "Excuse me, is it Mr. Lu?" β
Lu Huaining raised his eyebrows and sneered, and responded in a faint voice, "Miss Xue, if you dialed my number, not me, who do you think it should be?" β
Listening to the voice, it should be the weirdo. Xue Zuining was glad that he finally took it, and he didn't expect that he could clearly call himself "Miss Xue".
"Do you remember me?"
"Of course." Lu Huaining's eyes darkened, flickering with depth, "I think Miss Xue should also remember what I said that day." β
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry to disturb your time, I didn't mean to, I just, I just wanted to ask Mr. Lu for a favor." Xue Zuining listened to his tone, thinking that he had misunderstood him, so he hurriedly explained but was interrupted.
"Miss Xue, I'm not used to helping on the phone."
Xue Zuining was slightly stunned, but he heard his confident voice coming clearly from the other end of the phone three seconds later, "If you can get to Sunshine Lishe before me, perhaps, I will be interested in listening." β
