Shao Mingwei was stunned for a moment when he heard "two thousand", then he still smiled and said, "I also know that it is not easy for you, but if you think two thousand is a little... less, I will definitely return it to you as soon as possible."
When the uncle heard his question, he was immediately a little unhappy: "Why are you so inconsiderate, the uncle's family is also using money. You are talking about paying back the money, and you don't know when Xiaorong's illness will be delayed and whether it will heal... It seems that someone over there pushed the uncle, he stopped abruptly, and turned to say gently: "Uncle didn't mean that, it's just that you don't know the family situation, no one is rich. Uncle borrowed, no, I'll give you two thousand dollars, and you don't have to pay it back."
Shao Mingwei clenched his teeth tightly, took two deep breaths silently, and said gratefully, "Okay, please, I'll pay you back as soon as I have the money."
The uncle didn't seem to believe that he could pay it back at all, so he laughed: "No, no, the family doesn't speak two languages. I'm the uncle, I should..."
Hanging up the phone, Shao Mingwei held the phone, rested his elbows above his knees, lowered his head, and stared at the gaps in the clean tiles in the hospital hall in a daze.
After a while, he picked up the phone again, "Hey, Uncle San, I'm Ming Wei..."
…
"Yes, it's not easy for everyone, I know..."
"Hey, auntie, I'm Ming Wei, have you eaten yet?"
…
"Yes, I understand..."
"Hey, uncle, I'm Ming Wei, how are you doing?"
…
"Clearly, I know that you are good to me..."
"Hey, second aunt, I'm Ming Wei, how are you doing?"
…
"Okay, sorry to bother you..."
…
After playing on and off for more than three hours, I collected 30,000 yuan in pieces. Shao Mingwei's cheeks froze, and every phone call went from a careful laugh to numbness, and it became more and more difficult to lift the corners of his mouth. Finally, a call was hung up, Shao Mingwei put down the phone and covered his face with his hands.
Shao Mingwei doesn't complain about others, his relatives are not well-off, and part of the reason why he decided to come to Beijing three years ago is that he knows that relatives and neighbors do not want to have more contact with their brothers and sisters. No one is happy to lend money to anyone.
It is not someone's responsibility to treat Rongrong. Helping is a love, not helping is a duty. Shao Mingwei buried his head in his palm and gave a wry smile, "It's just that their relatives are honest people.
Thinking about where did the self-confidence and disdain come from for his worries in front of Dr. Sun last night
The wry smile was still on his face, but Shao Mingwei's eyes were a little wet in the dark.
He's just... really desperate and doesn't know what to do.
…
Depressed for a long time, Shao Mingwei still went to the bathroom to wash his face. He looked at himself in the mirror and cheered silently: There must be a way, he can't fall down, Rongrong is still waiting for him in the ward.
He glanced at the time, and it was almost time to visit, so he packed up to make himself look refreshed. He didn't take the elevator and walked up the stairs slowly. Halfway through, Shao Mingwei received a call from Dr. Sun.
Shao Mingwei went in through the visiting passage, washed his hands, changed his visiting clothes, put on shoe covers, and put on a mask.
She was probably lying down a bit dull, and seeing his Shao Rong's eyes lit up, she couldn't speak even with the oxygen mask on. Shao Mingwei hurriedly sat down and held her hand gently, and said with a gentle smile, "Don't get excited."
"How do you feel?" Shao Mingwei asked.
Shao Rong blinked and bent again.
Shao Mingwei leaned forward slightly: "Tell Rong Rong the good news. Dr. Sun said that if the matching is successful, a kidney transplant can be performed. In the future, Rong Rong will be a healthy little girl."
Shao Rong's eyes were bright, but suddenly dimmed, looking at Shao Mingwei worriedly.
Shao Mingwei knew what she was worried about, and showed a warm smile: "Brother has money, Rongrong doesn't have to worry. You just need to be happy, and taking care of your health is your brother's favor."
…
When the visit time came, Shao Mingwei came out of the ward, leaning against the wall for a long time. After a long time, he took out his mobile phone again, trying to make some futile efforts, and suddenly saw Sister Zhang's phone number when he flipped through the address book.
Shao Mingwei's sliding hand stopped.
Staring at the short eleven digits, Shao Mingwei slowly pursed his thin lips.
In the end, he thought, what was his self-esteem and his love worth compared to his sister's life
Shao Mingwei made a call.
"Sister Zhang, um, I'm Xiao Shao... Could you please help me contact President Min?"
At eight o'clock the next day, Shao Mingwei changed his clothes and stood outside the box of Tanchunfang. Min Yu is inside.
Shao Mingwei thought, and went around and went to Tanchunfang again, and he didn't know whether it was fate or Min Yu's intention. After standing for a while, clearing out the miscellaneous things in his mind, Shao Mingwei pushed open the door and entered.
The last time I came in, the lights in the luxurious and spacious room were dim, and the figures were shaking. Walking in again, only Min Yu sat quietly under the dim warm light, looking at her phone. Probably coming directly from the company, Min Yu was still wearing a formal striped shirt and tie, and her suit jacket was casually draped on the back of the sofa. Hearing the sound, he raised his head and gave a gentle and happy smile.
Shao Mingwei closed the door and stood at the door. He licked his lips and said hello, "Mr. Min."
Min Yu looked at him, didn't speak for a while, and seemed to react after a long time: "...you're here... come and sit."
His tone was mixed with undisguised excitement and joy, and there was also a shy yearning that seemed to be absent. With a mixture of emotions, he said a sentence slowly and softly, as if it was in his mouth, but also as if he was afraid of being disturbed. what the same.
But Shao Mingwei didn't notice.
At this moment, he only felt that the light was dazzling, like the sun at noon in summer, it would bask people. He also felt that the temperature of the air conditioner was not low enough, the room was not ventilated enough, and the air was stagnant, making it difficult for him to breathe and his throat was dry. His face was flushed, his forehead was sweating, and he felt that the light illuminated him with nowhere to escape, like a man who was stripped and forced to run naked in front of the crowd.
Because he remembered the moment when he firmly rejected Min Yu in the car.
Although his self-esteem is not comparable to Shao Rong's consciousness, Shao Mingwei still feels very ashamed, embarrassed and guilty. He avoided seeing the other party's feelings because he expressed his attitude that there was no possibility of the other party, and it was also him who took the initiative to turn around to find Min Yu.
He had said all the words, and now that he was really standing in front of Min Yu, Shao Mingwei just wanted to find even a small gap for him to crawl into.
