Chapter 274: An Astronomical Sum of Hospitalization Fees

Chu Lui shut his eyes. In the midst of opening and closing his eyes, it seemed the woman underneath him was not Li Manni. She had changed into another woman. Her face blushed from her passion. Her endless faint breathing was so arousing that he had not seen it for a long time.

His heart stopped suddenly from the shock, but he never stopped moving his body. Those black eyes with a hint of blue in them became more profound, so much so that the confused look on his face was finally replaced by clearness. It was his goddamn self-restraint which should not happen in this instance.

However, Li Manni was far too absorbed in his passion. She wondered if they would have a child this time. It would be great if she were to get pregnant.

A night like this could confuse one’s heart and, at the same time, clear up one’s eyes.

The next day—in the Chu Enterprise, Chu Lui sat alone in his office. Surprisingly, he had been standing in silence today by the window, smoking a cigarette in indifference. Countless cigarette butts lay in the ashtray on the table. Naturally, a huge pile of unprocessed documents lay in wait on his office table.

Du Jingtang walked in. He hurriedly fanned his hands in front of his face. The cigarette smell was too overwhelming. His cousin had become such a heavy smoker, and it had gotten out of hand recently. If this continued, he would be poisoned from smoking.

“Cousin, you should stop smoking like this if you ever want to have a chance at conceiving.” The moment he finished talking, Chu Lui’s hands paused; and he put out the cigarette between his fingers. There was not an ounce of emotion in his eyes.

He was indeed made of stone, and he had become harder.

Du Jingtang grinned as he flipped through the contracts on the table—another huge pile. Gosh, their business had gotten so well that he didn’t even have the time to rest.

“Cousin, when are you going to the hospital? They called again and said that child’s condition has taken a turn for the worse. She may be waiting for you to save her life.” He reminded Chu Lui, worried that it might have slipped his cousin’s mind. It was a matter of life and death, and he couldn’t be careless.

It was after all a child’s life. He was afraid that Chu Lui would really forget about it.

“I will finish this up and go home.” Chu Lui went back to his chair and sat down. He twirled around in his chair. Clearly, he had not forgotten about it. However, he had some things to finish up before he could do that. No one else could do it.

Of course, that included that woman, too. He was getting tired with her body and thought it was time to leave her. He could get that kind of feeling from Li Manni. The other night was proof that he could also be on the receiving end.

He worked through the documents in front of him swiftly. To him now, there was only work and nothing else. Du Jingtang scratched his head in boredom and remarked that Chu Lui was not a robot. If he wasn’t, who was?

It was another day at the hospital. Xia Ruoxin carefully caressed her daughter’s pale face. Her condition had worsened, and she had been having a fever. With much difficulty, her fever finally receded, and she cried herself to sleep.

Her operation had been scheduled to take place in a few days.

“Don’t worry, Rainy. Trust Mommy. You will get well very soon, and we can leave this place to go home. You won’t have to feel pain anymore.” Suddenly, she bit on the back of her hand. She bit so hard that she could feel the pain. Worried that she would be unable to muffle the sound of her sobbing, she flustered and picked up her bag on the side. She stood up and knew she had to go out and look for a job. If it wasn’t for this extraordinary job, she wouldn’t be able to afford the huge amount of medical fees on her own.
