Chapter 257: Engagement?
"No, I didn't know you came here today, so I gave you a conch that I picked up on the beach that can blow a nice sound, the conch is very beautiful, and there are several beautiful patterns on it. γLatest chapter reading. Bai Ling said generously and decently, it doesn't matter if you like it or not, Bai Ling was stern as soon as he opened his mouth: I don't know that you came, I just sent you things to be polite, if you pick and choose, but it's your fault.
Mei Li pretended to like it and opened it, pretending to like it very much, and said: "Thank you, the first time we met, you gave me a gift, and when I go back today, I will also give you a gift." In fact, Mei Li despised the gift in her hand very much, and she couldn't look down on it, this kind of rags picked up casually on the beach, if she didn't want to make a show in front of Bai Ling, befriended Bai Ling's mother, and treated her, she wouldn't want this kind of thing at all, and she would throw it away when she went back.
"You're welcome." Originally, it was just a hand, but I didn't expect this Mei Li to really care, which made Bai Ling a little confused. But suffocating observation, from Mei Li's flickering eyes from time to time, I knew that the girl in front of me was not so simple. The root cause is that Joel, who failed to be fierce against the tiger, can work anywhere.
"Xiaohan, I brought Mei Li here, I want you to treat Mei Li, her body has been weak since she was a child." Michelle brought it up in a timely manner, meaning to see a doctor.
As soon as Bai Han came in, he knew that Mei Li was not enough to govern, similar to Joel, but not exactly the same, nodded and said, "No problem, I look at Mei Li's body is okay, it shouldn't be difficult to treat." But recently, I'm going back to B is a trip, I'll take your pulse with Joel today, prescribe a week's worth of medicine, just wait until I come back in a week, just fine! β
"That's going to bother you." Michelle said with a smile, stretching out her hand and letting Bai Han take the pulse.
Bai Han quickly prescribed Michelle and Joel's prescription. said: "Miss Mei Li, come here, I'll check your pulse first, let's see how you are doing now?" β
The first important thing Merry did when she came this time was to see a doctor, because Merry's parents came to visit Michelle and Joel, and they really saw that Michelle was now half better, and they were even more determined to send their daughter over to see a doctor; The second important thing is to cultivate a relationship with Joel and marry the two families.
Merry quickened her pace. Although it is faster than usual, in the eyes of outsiders. If you don't take it quickly, you're not in good health.
"Thank you, Aunt Bai!" Mei Li obediently called Aunt Bai Han along Joel, sat next to Bai Han, stretched out her arm, and put it on a small pillow.
Bai Han took the pulse. glanced at Merry again, and did not miss a word. I thought: Such a young girl, to understand things. If it was still a girl's house, it would be easier to treat, but now it is estimated that it will take more time.
Mei Li was glanced at by Bai Han, her heart was pounding, she didn't know if her condition could be cured, and she was unsure. In the end, I still can't help it. asked in a low voice, "Aunt Bai, can you be cured?" β
"It can be cured, but it will take a long time and without interruption, about two years. If you can do it, you should be fine. But the medicine on my side is all black Chinese medicine. It's very bitter, you have to be mentally prepared. Bai Han said softly, no matter what this girl is, since she is here, Bai Han will help treat her, and it is the duty of a doctor.
Mei Li's pale face was flushed with excitement because Bai Han said that it could be cured, turned her face to Joel on the side and said, "Cousin Joel, Aunt Bai said that I can be cured." When I'm well, we'll be engaged. β
Betrothal? These two simple words are like a silent bomb, and the house is quiet. Bai Ling hugged Xiao Fuxuan, but he was stunned, didn't say anything, lowered his head, and continued to tease Xiao Fuxuan, as if he hadn't heard it, he thought it was just admiration, but it turned out that he had reached the point of engagement. Thinking of this, Bai Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly, still looking forward to something. As long as my mother Bai Han and my younger brother are good, other things will be said later, the most important thing now is Bai Ling's own career, so I can also distinguish between good and bad.
Merry is not a fool, and when she saw Joel looking at Bai Ling, that gentle smile made Merry feel a crisis. Although she was physically weak like Joel since she was a child, Merry is much better than Joel. Seeing that Joel is getting more and more handsome, the thoughts in his heart gradually increase. In addition, the last time the parents came over and explained the previous marriage of Joel and Merry to Aunt Michelle, the parents of both sides were happy to see it.
Mei Li said that she wanted to show her identity and attitude to Bai Ling first, and Mei Li didn't know much about Bai Ling, only that she was the daughter of Joel and Aunt Michelle's doctor.
Joel raised his head, looked at Merry, there was no warmth in his eyes, and said, "It's too early to say this." Joel glanced at Michelle and turned away. Originally, Mei Li said this just to show her identity and have a position, but she didn't expect Joel to be so faceless, so she threw her face and left. Merry regretted her reckless move a little, and the hall was quiet and very embarrassing.
Although Michelle was silent on her face, she was very annoyed by Mei Li's reckless actions, how could such scheming and actions beat those women. Although Bai Ling is good, he can't get the approval of the Rothschild family, so he regrets it in vain, and it is better to break off Joel and Bai Ling's thoughts early. Originally, Michelle was not optimistic about Mei Li, because Joel was not in good health, and Mei Li was not in good health, so she wanted to find someone who was healthy for Joel. But now Joel's health is improving, and Merry also hopes to be treated, so she has this idea.
Mei Li was even more embarrassed when she saw that no one was talking in the hall, and said with a sneer: "I just heard my parents say this, so I said it without paying attention, which made everyone laugh." β
Bai Han saw that Michelle did not refute Mei Li's words just now, and knew this matter in his heart, and estimated that the parents of the two sides had an agreement, and sighed in his heart: her daughter is still disliked. I am very tired of my daughter being disgusted by their bunch of sick seedlings. If it weren't for me, it would be a question of whether you would be able to live a few more years, and you would still dislike my daughter. Besides, you don't look down on my Bai Ling, and I don't look down on you. Anyway, my daughter is still young, and I slowly observe the good sons and daughters around me, and I don't believe that my Bai Han's daughter can't find a good man.
If he were to be a small-minded doctor, he might still be able to do something about treatment, but Bai Han's benevolence forced Bai Han not to make crazy moves. Pretending to look at the daughter beside him unintentionally, he took Xiao Fuxuan in Bai Ling's arms, and said, "Xiao Ling, you go and wrap some chrysanthemum tea for Mei Li, take it back for her to drink first, and then prescribe medicine and acupuncture when we come back." β
"Okay, I'll go there!" Bai Ling said with a smile, his face was as usual. This little scene is nothing, and there are really not many things that want to make Bai Ling lose his luster now.
Bai Ling took the clean plastic bag, filled a bag for Mei Li, and said, "Aunt Michelle's family, you know how to make tea, I won't say more, I wish you a good recovery." β
Mei Li's face was as usual when she saw Bai Ling, and she blamed herself even more for her presumptuous act just now, which made Cousin Joel unhappy and Aunt Michelle very embarrassed. Mei Li took the plastic bag that Bai Ling brought over, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Bai Ling." I said the wrong thing just now, I hope you don't get angry. β
Bai Ling really wanted to roll his eyes at the sky, is this Mei Li really innocent, or is she stupid. Finally, the embarrassment just now has been revealed, and this Merry actually began to bring it up again.
"You don't need to apologize to me at all, it's not me who you're going to be engaged to, hehe." Since you are simple, I Bai Ling is also stupid, Bai Ling said with a smile, there was no half-point blame in his tone, but a joke.
"By the way, Aunt Michelle, how do you calculate the medical expenses?" Mei Li was born into a wealthy family, even if it is the Xi family, she doesn't take it to heart. Mei Li means that she is generous in terms of cost, and Bai Han will bother more when she is treated, which is not considered to be unscrupulous. But being greedy for money now is really nothing to Bai Han.
Michelle was stopped by Mei Li's words, the two had cooperated before, and now in addition to precision instruments, there are two projects under negotiation. Michelle and Bai Han have always been friends, and they have not talked about medical expenses. It turned out that in the past year, Michelle had enjoyed Bai Han's care with peace of mind, but she forgot to pay for the medical bills.
In fact, in addition to Bai Han's own superb medical skills, in fact, those traditional Chinese medicines are really not worth much, so Bai Han does not have medical expenses.
Mei Li saw that Michelle didn't speak, so she turned around and asked Bai Han and said, "Aunt Bai, how much do you say?" After speaking, he had already taken the checkbook and was ready to write down the amount Bai Han said.
Seeing Mei Li like this, Bai Han didn't shirk, I am a doctor, you are a patient, it is normal for you to pay me, but how much does it take, Bai Han has no bottom in his heart, so he said with a smile: "I can cure your disease, you can give as much as you say this medical fee is worth." "Bai Han will not be stupid and leave an impression that he loves money like his life, the Xi family's money is enough to spend, there is no need to leave a handle on this.
Mei Li was stunned when she heard Bai Han's words, and immediately smiled, I heard that Huaxia people were more subtle and very understanding, so she wrote a number in her notebook, tore it off, handed it to Bai Han and said, "Aunt Bai, this is my medical expenses, you can accept it!" β
Bai Han took it and took a look, the number is not small, you want to use money to suppress people, right, then let you have a little more blood, and said with a "bad heart": "Is this a year's expense, or is it all the cost?" β
Bai Han said lightly, although he didn't say that the money was less, but it gave people the feeling that Mei Li was stingy and gave less. Anyway, everyone didn't know what number Mei Li had just written, which made Mei Li's face blush, and she couldn't make a noise, and she felt a little uncomfortable, but compared to life, it was nothing, and she pressed her teeth and said, "This is a year's expense, and I will continue to pay the following after that."
