Chapter 343 — The Trouble with Happiness
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"N-no... don't listen to my mother's nonsense..." Only then did Tang Yun remember that she was still holding the phone; every word of the conversation with her mother had landed in Wei Zhao's ear. She was at once ashamed and indignant, and felt deeply humiliated by her mother's greed for money...
Mother Tang found a bank card—the household had a little over twenty thousand in savings, and only this one bank card, which she had carefully hidden beneath the mattress.
"Yun'er, give me the phone..." Mother Tang said, reaching to snatch the cell phone from Tang Yun's hand.
How could Tang Yun be willing to hand the phone to her mother? Given to her, heaven knew what she would say. She stretched out a hand. "Give it here—I'll read him the card number!"
Mother Tang had no choice but to give her the bank card. Tang Yun was about to read the number to Wei Zhao, but he said, "Send it to me by text instead—if the transfer goes wrong, the money's gone..."
"Ah, then I'll send it to you!" Startled, Tang Yun said hurriedly. Little did she know that Wei Zhao was only teasing her—when the card number and the account name do not match, the transfer simply will not go through.
After receiving the card number Tang Yun sent, Wei Zhao dialed Guan Xuemin's number.
"Xiaoyi? Where have you been these past two days? I called you and your phone was off the whole time!" Before Wei Zhao could speak, Guan Xuemin's voice came through from the other end.
"Oh? Grandpa Guan, you were looking for me?" Wei Zhao had not expected Guan Xuemin to have been trying to reach him these two days.
"Yesterday Liu Tianyi brought Old Liu over. Old Liu wanted to thank you in person—after he went back, he found his health markedly improved. Not only has his appetite grown, but he walks as briskly as if he were flying; it's as though he has grown ten years younger!" Guan Xuemin sighed. "Xiaoyi, that medical skill of yours—even I am green with envy at the sight of it!"
"They came to thank me?" Wei Zhao smiled. More likely the Liu family had recognized his worth and wanted to get on good terms with him in advance. There had been some unpleasantness before, but the Lius were no fools; they knew to mend the fold after the sheep were lost.
"Yes, they're returning to Yanjing, and the villa they bought here is of no use to them, so they want to give it to you in thanks," Guan Xuemin said. "Just give me your ID number, and I can handle the transfer of title for you."
"Ha, generous all of a sudden, aren't they?" Wei Zhao shrugged. "But right now what I lack is money—I'd rather they simply gave me some cash."
"They did. Liu Tianyi also sealed a red envelope of ten million for you," Guan Xuemin said with a chuckle. "I never imagined a hundred million in start-up capital would come your way so easily. I had been worrying that we wouldn't have enough to get the pharmaceutical factory going, and now you've treated a single patient and brought in the whole lot!"
"Well, there's no help for it. I hadn't intended to take the money, but who told his family to behave the way they did." Wei Zhao laughed. "Still, Old Liu isn't bad—no airs about him..."
"It isn't that he has no airs, but that he understands how important it is to his family to be on terms with a divine physician like you!" Guan Xuemin said. "Otherwise they wouldn't have given you another red envelope."
"Mm, Grandpa Guan, speak to them on my behalf. I'll accept the red envelope and the villa, but the next treatment will still come with a fee—though I might consider giving them priority!" Wei Zhao said with great swagger. Still, the Lius would surely be delighted to hear such a promise.
