Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Thinking of the money that Chen Shan had given her last time, Xia Wan’s heart tightened. Did these people from the capital not understand the prices in their small county?
She didn’t need to pay much money to see a doctor. Her intuition told her that the price would probably start at four figures.
“There’s no need, Mr. Huo. You can take the money first. You can give it to me after I treat Chenchen.” Xia Wan refused and handed the card back to Huo Ci.
Huo Ci refused and urged Xia Wan to accept the card.
Lin Lu also advised, “This is Huo Ci’s kind gesture. Just accept it.”
Lin Lu knew Huo Ci’s family background and how much Huo Ci treasured Huo Chen. If Xia Wan could really cure Huo Chen’s illness, he would be willing to let Huo Ci give up all his family assets, let alone such a small amount of money.
Under their persuasion, Xia Wan had no choice but to take the card first.
When they arrived at Lin Lu’s house, they parted ways.
Liu Hua and Liu Guang were waiting at home. Seeing that Xia Wan had returned, Liu Hua quickly went up and asked, “Sister Xia Wan, how is it? Can it be cured?”
Xia Wan smiled slightly. “The situation is a little tricky, but fortunately, it was discovered early, so it can be treated.”
Liu Hua held onto Xia Wan’s arm and shook it. “I knew it. Sister Xia Wan is the best. Then, will you let me accompany you to buy stationery? School is starting soon. ”
Xia Wan nodded and said generously, “Let’s go buy some stationery!”
Liu Guang wanted to send them off but was stopped by Xia Wan. She said, “Mr. Liu, please, make yourself at home and have some tea with my dad. We girls love shopping.”
Liu Hua also nodded. “Dad, don’t worry. With Sister Xia Wan around, it’ll be very safe.”
After hearing what the two of them said. Liu Guang didn’t send them off.
On the way, Liu Hua asked Xia Wan about the details of Huo Chen’s treatment. When she heard that Xia Wan had only told Huo Chen the cause of his illness and Huo Ci had given her a bank card, Liu Hua expressed her confusion.
Liu Hua asked, “Sister Xia Wan, you’re only helping Chenchen with acupuncture and medicine. You haven’t seen how Chenchen is getting better. Why did Huo Ci give you a bank card?”
She had seen the patients in the hospital. No family member would give the doctor money in advance if they didn’t start treatment.
However, today, Huo Ci actually gave Huo Chen a bank card so easily just because he saw Xia Wan perform acupuncture on him.
Her family, for instance, still used passbooks. Very few people in the village used bank cards.
Xia Wan glanced at her and explained, “He gave me the money so quickly because I told him about Huo Chen’s condition. After we leave, he will definitely contact the doctor he once trusted to verify it.
“Moreover, if I cure Huo Chen’s illness, he’ll naturally be grateful to me. But if I don’t, he’ll have plenty of ways to get the card back from me.”
The smile on Liu Hua’s face disappeared, and she looked a little nervous. “Ah, isn’t it dangerous to treat these big shots? If they don’t get cured, they’ll definitely think it’s the doctor’s fault.”
Xia Wan replied, “What else could I do? There’s a saying: high returns and high risks go hand in hand. If you want to get high returns, the risk you have to bear must be very high.”
Liu Hua nodded and became more cautious. She realized that there were benefits to not knowing the big shots. At least she didn’t have to waste her brainpower.
The two of them walked in the direction of the stationery store. On the way, they saw snacks. Xia Wan bought snacks of various flavors and even specially asked the boss for a bag. She packed some of each flavor for Liu Hua. Liu Hua quickly waved his hand and refused. “No, this is your money. I can’t take it.”
Xia Wan continued to pass it to her. “You came with me to buy stationery today. Your father also accompanied us to the factory. Why can’t he give you some snacks? Do we have to be so clear between us? Then we won’t dare to trouble you in the future.”
Hearing Xia Wan’s words, Liu Hua finally accepted Xia Wan’s food.
Soon, they arrived at the stationery store. At this time, there were not many stationery stores in the county. Most of them were gathered on one street, which was convenient for students to buy. Xia Wan chose an old brand with a good reputation. This store had a complete range of stationery, and the quality was relatively good. Students with the conditions would come here to buy.
When she saw someone enter, the lady boss immediately greeted her with a smile, “How can I help you?”
Xia Wan glanced at the decorations in the shop. In front of the lady boss was a transparent window, where all kinds of stationery were on display..
