"No, not long after I entered the first year of high school, my family was very anxious at that time. They were all afraid that she would delay her studies. Later, the child made a promise to us. She said that as long as we let her fall in love, she promised His academic performance has not declined and he has remained in the top five in his grade.”
Luo Xiangdong smiled lightly and said, "Really, what happened next?"
I was sitting in the back seat of the car, and I couldn't tell how I felt. I felt that the weather was not that hot, but I was sweating in waves and my palms were all slippery.
"Later, she desperately wanted to fall in love with that boy, and her grades did get better and better. Not only did our parents turn a blind eye, but even the school didn't care about it. When the university applied for admission, the boy wanted to I gave in to her and came to Night City to study design."
When I heard the words showing off and gratifying my breasts, I felt a burning pain on my face. It felt like a scar that had scabbed open, and someone had to sprinkle some salt on it.
This is what my grandma said. If it were another person, I might not be able to help but get angry.
My back was straight, my eyes were slightly lowered, and my hands on my knees were clenched into fists at some point.
I gritted my teeth and held on, not letting the pain in my heart show on my face.
Luo Xiangdong looked at the expression on my face in the rearview mirror, and I heard him say meaningfully: "Are the two of us still talking now?"
My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't help but frown.
He asked knowingly.
My grandma smiled and replied: "We are talking. We originally planned to get married after graduation, but now both of us are busy with work..."
There was a ringing in my ears and I almost lost the ability to breathe.
My breasts said something, but I basically didn’t hear anything.
Fortunately, the car stopped quickly and I looked up and saw that the hospital had arrived.
This private hospital is a well-known 'noble hospital' in Night City. It covers an area as large as a medium-sized community and is greened like a park. Everyone entering the hospital, doctors and nurses need a work permit, and outsiders need a temporary entry card.
To be able to get such a large piece of land in Night City, where land is at a premium, to build a private hospital, one can imagine how tough his back is.
I didn't expect that this hospital would be opened by Wei Zheng's family.
With Wei Zheng's living 'green card', the six of us entered the hospital unimpeded.
Wei Zheng made a call, and not long after, a group of doctors and nurses rushed down. They took my breasts to take another X-ray examination. When the results came out, they were indeed the same as those from the city hospital.
The doctor suggested surgery, and Wei Zheng immediately arranged for someone to send my breast milk to the VIP ward at the back, where I would wait for my body to recover for a few days before having the surgery.
My family is not short of money, but only in a third-tier small city like Liangcheng.
The most indispensable thing in Night City is rich people. If you pick a middle-income person here, his income may be higher than that of our family.
I was wondering how much expense this would cost
Sure enough, my mother also held my hand in private and said in a low voice: "Zijin, what is your relationship with Luo Xiangdong and Wei Zheng?"
I hesitated and did not answer immediately, because the relationship between us... is really hard to describe.
My dad is a very respectable person. After my grandma was admitted to the VIP ward, he immediately said, "Would you like to go downstairs and pay the hospitalization fee first?"
When Wei Zheng heard this, he smiled and replied: "Uncle, don't worry, just let grandma live here with peace of mind. Money is a trivial matter."
When I heard this, I couldn't help but think more in my heart, did Wei Zheng mean that he didn't want money
My dad immediately replied: "That won't work. One code will be the same. You have helped a lot today. We must pay the hospital bills as normal."
Wei Zheng said: "There is really no need to be in such a hurry. We can wait until grandma's operation is completed."
My dad looked hesitant, and then Luo Xiangdong said: "Uncle, don't be afraid of owing us a favor. We are friends with Zijin. Besides, she is still working for me. Am I afraid that she will run away?"
To my parents, what Luo Xiangdong said was a joke, but to me, I think he was very serious.
When I look at his smile now, I feel that it is the smile of a devil, and there must be deep meaning and conspiracy hidden behind it.
When it was time for lunch, Luo Xiangdong originally said he wanted to invite my parents out to eat together, but because my breast milk still had a few tests to complete, my parents had to stay with me in the hospital to breastfeed, so they appointed me to take their place. Invite Luo Xiangdong and Wei Zheng to have a meal to express their gratitude.
The three of us left the ward and walked to the elevator.
During this period, I asked aloud: "Mr. Luo, Mr. Wei, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
Wei Zheng replied: "I have something to do for a while, so I can't have dinner with you. You can follow Xiangdong."
I looked at Wei Zheng and said with sincerity in my eyes: "Mr. Wei, I really want to thank you very much today. I will definitely treat you to dinner someday."
Wei Zheng smiled and replied: "You're welcome, this is the second time we've met. Let's call each other by our names from now on. It sounds like we'll get used to it."
There was a blur of gratitude and a hint of embarrassment on my face, and I said softly: "Then can I call you Brother Zheng from now on?"
Before Wei Zheng could answer, Luo Xiangdong glanced at me and said, "You can really take this opportunity to promote yourself!"
I looked at the disgusted look on his face and was stunned for a moment. I didn't know what he meant by raising seniority.
Could it be that because Wei Zheng is older than me, should I call him uncle instead of brother
Wei Zheng looked at me with a confused look on his face. He smiled lightly and replied: "It's good to call me brother." After that, he added: "Zijin, I'll leave now. I'll see you another day."
I nodded subconsciously and replied, "Okay, goodbye, Brother Zheng."
Wei Zheng said hello to Luo Xiangdong and walked forward. I watched Wei Zheng's back until he disappeared around the corner of the corridor.
"You've already left, what else are you looking for?" Luo Xiangdong's provocative voice came. I turned to look at him, paused, and then said, "Mr. Luo, thank you very much for today."
Luo Xiangdong raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean by thanking me so much? Aren't you supposed to thank me?"
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, raised the corners of my lips, and replied with a slight smile: "Yes, I would like to thank Mr. Luo very much today."
Luo Xiangdong glanced at me, and then stepped forward. I stood there. After he took three steps, he looked back at me and said, "Why are you standing there? Aren't you going to treat me to dinner at noon?"
Blood welled up in my chest. Without saying anything, I stepped forward to follow Luo Xiangdong's footsteps.
Luo Xiangdong drove me to a very famous restaurant in Night City. When I usually pass by here, I only dare to look at the front. Just looking at the rows of luxury cars parked outside, I don't dare to go inside.
After getting off the car, we walked towards the door of the store. During this period, I hesitated again and again and whispered to Luo Xiangdong: "Mr. Luo, it's too expensive here. I'm afraid I won't be able to pay for it soon."
Luo Xiangdong glanced at me, and couldn't tell whether it was disgust or contempt and replied: "Do you really think I expect you to pay for it?"
As soon as Luo Xiangdong opened his mouth, I felt like there was a lump in my throat and my blood was surging. If he has something to say, can't he say it properly
While we were talking, we had already arrived in front of the store. Two young girls, about 1.734 meters tall, stood at the door to greet us in cheongsam.
"Welcome to Huayue Tower."
I nodded and followed Luo Xiangdong as he walked inside.
This is the first time I have entered Huayue Building. The decoration in the store completely simulates the ancient style, with colorful lights, beautiful clothes, and golden glazed glass. If the guests here were not all wearing modern clothes, I would really be in a trance for a moment, feeling like I have traveled through time. .
The clerk who came to greet him obviously knew Luo Xiangdong. He smiled and extended his hand to make a greeting gesture.
We came to a private room on the second floor. After sitting down, the clerk handed us the order book.
Luo Xiangdong picked up the teacup at hand and drank tea, minding his own business, and said casually: "Please order."
I opened the order book and scanned the prices at a glance, my heart skipping a beat.
Before I could say anything, Luo Xiangdong had already said, "Order some more green vegetables, tofu or something, and you can eat it all by yourself."
I swallowed secretly, and out of the corner of my eye I caught the clerk looking at me quietly.
I was also afraid of losing face, so I ordered a few medium-priced dishes as a token.
Passing the order book to Luo Xiangdong, I said, "Mr. Luo, I've ordered it, please take a look."
Luo Xiangdong didn't read the order book, but casually reported a few dish names.
The clerk wrote them down one by one, and then said with a smile: "Please wait a moment."
After she left, Luo Xiangdong and I were the only two people left in the private room - I felt extremely cramped and embarrassed, almost to the point of being restless.
Luo Xiangdong had no intention of chatting with me, and the private room became even quieter.
After a few minutes of silence, I had to bite the bullet and look at Luo Xiangdong on the right, and said softly: "Mr. Luo, I really appreciate you coming out to help me today. I don't know what to say." , I’ll give you a toast with tea instead of wine.”
After that, I picked up the tea cup in front of me and drank it in one gulp.
Luo Xiangdong looked at me. There was no expression on his handsome face, but there was a playful look in his black pupils. He said aloud: "I see that when you are with others, you always drink. How come I Here, it suddenly became tea?"
"The wine is expensive here."
Luo Xiangdong didn't expect me to say that at all, so he didn't hug me on the spot and laughed out loud.
Looking at me with disgust, he said aloud: "You are really stingy."
God is my witness, I am generous, it just depends on the group of people around me.
In my circle, I am considered a wealthy person, but compared with Luo Xiangdong, I am simply a down-and-out person who has just escaped from three years of difficult times.
"To be honest, the things here are too expensive and I can't afford them."
"I beg you." Luo Xiangdong looked at me with an expression that meant he was going to force me to do something.
I tried hard to maintain my facial expression, nodded and replied, "If Mr. Luo wants to drink, I can accompany you."
When Luo Xiangdong heard this, a flash of narrowness flashed in his eyes, and he said aloud: "On weekdays, you wish you could avoid me. You don't listen to anything I say. Why are you so obedient today?"
I thought to myself, when did I become disobedient? What he said was an imperial edict, and as a person under the roof, I could only obey it.
There was a hint of natural sadness in my eyes, and I replied softly: "Mr. Luo, without the help of you and Brother Zheng today, my grandma would not have been admitted to the hospital so smoothly, so I am really grateful to you."
Luo Xiangdong didn't change his expression, just raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked aloud: "Do you feel you owe me, so you drink with me?"
"I… "
"Then if someone else helps you another day and asks you to drink with them, will you accompany them?"
