Wang Ran was stunned for a moment, and she seemed to be in a daze.
She originally thought that they were here to visit her ill mother, but she didn’t expect that they were here to ask for money.
“It’s not just your aunt’s 5,000 dollars, but also my 4,000 dollars,” Wang Dahai said with a smile.
“4,000 dollars?”
Wang ran said, “When my mother was hospitalized, I only borrowed 3,000 dollars. Why is it 4,000 dollars now?”
“You’re still young. How would you know about adult matters? You did only borrow 3,000 dollars back then. But think about it. When she was hospitalized, we treated the doctors in the hospital to a meal. I spent more than 1,000 dollars on that. However, I thought about it, and since you are my niece. I’ll wipe the change for you. Just give me 4,000 dollars.”
“Uncle, I was there during the meal. I saw the bill too. It only cost 500 dollars. Why are you asking for 1,000 dollars?” Wang Ran said with red eyes.
Wang Dahai was stunned. He didn’t expect Wang Ran to have seen the final bill. He didn’t know how to explain.
“It’s not what you think. Although the meal only cost 500 dollars, I gave them a red packet of 500 dollars. Don’t you want to repay me this money?”
“You guys are too much!”
Wang Ran was so angry that her body was trembling and tears were rolling down her cheeks. She didn’t expect them to say such cold words.
“Niece, don’t cry. I don’t know how to speak to you like this.” The person who spoke was Wang Ran’s second uncle, Wang Dashan.
“Second uncle, is there something else? I didn’t borrow money from you back then, right?”
“Indeed, you didn’t borrow any money. But when you were first staying at the hospital, didn’t your second aunt and I accompany you for a few days?” Wang Dashan said.
“I spent more than 500 dollars on breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But I’m your second uncle, and due to the circumstances, I won’t ask you for the total cost. You just have to give me 500 dollars. I also have a lot of money, and since it’s only 500 dollars, just give it to second uncle first.”
Wang Ran’s salary was only around 8,000 dollars, but the money she owed all of them amounted to 9,000 dollars. If she paid the others back first, her aunt wouldn’t be able to get her money back.
And now, her sister-in-law’s condition was worsening. If she didn’t get it back now, she wouldn’t be able to get it back in the future.
“You guys!”
“Enough!”
Lin Yi said, “Don’t you have money? Hurry up and pay them back. What are you waiting for?”
“Right, right, right, pay back the money first,” Dahai said.
“My 4,000 isn’t as much as your aunt’s, and I am always nice to you. When your mother was in the hospital, I ran all over to help you contact the hospital, and I was so tired that I got blisters on my feet. It wouldn’t be nice if you didn’t give the money to your uncle first.”
“What are you talking about?” Wang Fang interjected.
“I gave 5,000 dollars to Little Ran in one go. Unlike you, who still split the money, if you want to return any money, you have to return it to me first.”
The three siblings all had the same idea.
Wang Ran only had 8,000 dollars. If she returned it to others first, she wouldn’t have enough to pay them back.
Wang Ran felt wronged. She wiped her tears and said,
“Aunt, Uncle, Second Uncle, although I owe you money, I will definitely pay you back. Now that my mother is seriously ill, and she is still waiting to go to the hospital. Do you have to talk about money at this time?”
“We didn’t want to. Indeed, the family is in urgent need of money. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have come to ask for it, don’t you see?” Wang Fang said.
“You are afraid that if my mother is hospitalized, I won’t be able to afford to pay back this money, right?”
“That’s not the case at all, but if you think so, we can’t do anything about it. Since you have money now, just give it to us now. We will be even in the future,” Wang Dahai said.
“But let me be clear. You have to pay me back first, or I’ll go to the hospital and ask you for money!”
“Don’t rush me. I’ll just give you the money.”
Wang Ran wiped her tears and opened the suitcase in her hand.
“This…”
Looking at the stacks of hundred-dollar bills, Wang Fang and the others were dumbfounded.
They had never seen so much cash in their lives.
“Little, Little ran, where did you get so much money?!”
“This is my affair, it’s none of your business!”
Wang Ran took out a stack of 10,000 dollars and pulled out five bills. “This is 9,500 dollars. Take it and split it. From now on, we are no longer related. Please leave my house!”
After getting the money, Wang Fang and the rest were not in the mood to split the money.
Their eyeballs were all fixed on the box of money.
“Little Ran, look at this mess. We are not in a hurry. If your mother needs money urgently for her medical treatment, just take the money and spend it first.”
Although she said that, Wang Fang did not move. It seemed that she was just saying this for the sake of her image.
“I don’t need your money. Hurry up and leave my house.”
The three of them felt embarrassed and took the money before leaving.
However, up until moment they left, their eyes were still glued to the money in the box. They were reluctant to leave.
After they left, the house quieted down. Wang Ran’s grandmother walked over with her walking stick.
“Ran Ran, where did this money come from? You’re still young. You can’t do bad things.”
“Grandmother, Teacher Lin lent me this money. In the future, when I go to his company to work, I’ll slowly repay the money to Teacher Lin.”
“I see.”
“Ran Ran.”
Wang Ran’s mother called out softly.
“Mom, lie down and don’t get up,” Wang Ran said.
“Quick, thank Teacher Lin.”
“I’ve already said thank you to Teacher Lin.”
“You’re welcome.” Lin Yi walked over and smiled. “This money is clean and she’ll return it to me in the future. Take the money and treat your illness without feeling burdened.”
“Thank you, thank you, Teacher Lin.” Wang Ran’s mother cried.
Although she had to return the money in the future, she wasn’t related to Lin Yi, yet he was willing to give her so much money. This was a huge favor.
Not long after, an ambulance arrived and sent Wang Ran’s mother to the hospital.
With the help of the money, everything went smoothly, and the surgery was scheduled for the next day.
Lin Yi didn’t leave the hospital at all since a female university student like Wang Ran wouldn’t be able to handle all the processes herself.
The classes he had that day were all rescheduled for the next day.
Lin Yi was the only one who had the privilege to do this in the university.
It couldn’t be helped, he was too awesome.
At six o’clock that night, Wang Ran heaved a sigh of relief when the final results came out. The situation wasn’t very optimistic.
All that was left was to pray that the surgery would be successful the next day.
“President Lin.”
In the intensive care unit, Wang Tianlong and a few other hotel executives walked in with fruits in their hands.
“What are you guys doing here?”
Wang Tianlong chuckled. “We’re here to check on the patient and see if there’s anything we can do to help.”
Lin Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Tianlong’s bootlicking skills were really something. He had to learn from him.
“Thank you, Brother Wang,” Wang Ran said.
“You’re welcome.” Tianlong smiled. “We’re all on the same side.”
Lin Yi pursed his lips. This was not the woman of the main house, so Wang Tianlong needed to get close to her.
“Alright, put the things down and leave. The patient is asleep, so don’t disturb her.”
“Alright, alright, alright. We’ll leave first then.”
After Tianlong and the others left, Lin Yi and Wang Ran went out as well.
The sky was filled with stars, and the noisy hospital quieted down as night fell.
“Teacher Lin, thank you for helping me so much.” Wang Ran said. “You’ve been helping me all day and haven’t eaten anything. Let me treat you to a meal.”
“I’m only a little hungry.” Lin Yi pointed at the stall outside. “Just buy me a pancake.”
Going out to eat took up too much time, and one bite was enough. There were full-time nurses looking after her mother, but Wang Ran couldn’t stay away for too long.
“Yeah, yeah. Teacher Lin, wait for me, I’ll get it right away.” Ran said
Wang Ran ran to the stall as if she did not have a care in the world anymore. She bought two fruit pancakes and a mineral water.
The two of them sat on the steps as Wang Ran nibbled on the food. Lin Yi, on the other hand, wolfed down half of it.
Wang Ran’s heart was beating a little fast. Other than the teachers in his office, she should be the first female student to have dinner with Teacher Lin.
“Teacher Lin, other than my dad, you’re the man to treat me so well,” Wang Ran said in a low voice.
