“Alright, let’s go aboard now!” Gu Ning said. Almost all the passengers were aboard.
Hearing Gu Ning’s voice, the young woman realized that it was Gu Ning who had rescued her by putting the pill in her mouth. She thanked Gu Ning sincerely before she walked to the plane.
“You want to escape? No way! Stop them right now!” the leading female worker, who had been thrown to the ground by Cao Wenxin shouted to her colleagues. Because of the leading female worker’s title, her colleagues had to follow her order.
“Do you want to be injured like her?” Cao Wenxin coldly glanced at them and threatened.
They immediately stopped.
“Catch them now!” the leading female worker almost yelled in anger.
“Don’t gather here. Move!” At this time, a strict male voice sounded. Everyone looked around and saw a group of airport staff quickly walking over followed by medical staff. Passengers around them all moved aside.
The leading man, who was around 34-years-old, was the manager of this airport. “Cousin!” The female worker who had been beaten by Cao Weinxin complained at once. “Cousin, they just attacked me! Please arrest them right now!”
The manager of this airport was precisely the woman’s older cousin, which was the reason why she was so arrogant and rude.
Hearing that, everyone looked at Gu Ning and Cao Wenxin. They thought that they would be in trouble now, because whoever had the power was the boss.
Indeed, whoever had the power was the boss, but the powerful people were Cao Wenxin and Gu Ning. Therefore, the man directly ignored the woman, and greeted Cao Wenxin. “It’s so nice to meet you, Miss Cao! May I know your flight number?”
Seeing the man’s attitude towards Cao Wenxin, people around them instantly knew who the person of power was.
“It’s this one, but all the passengers are aboard now.” Cao Wenxin gave the gate a glance.
“Please allow me to walk you to the gate,” the man said, and made a hand gesture to invite Cao Wenxin to get aboard. He didn’t bother to ask what had happened. He didn’t care about his so-called younger cousin at all, as long as Cao Wenxin was fine.
“Cousin!” The woman was disappointed that the man ignored her.
Cao Wenxin and Gu Ning were in a hurry, so they left right away along with the mother and her son. The mother was grateful for Gu Ning’s kind behavior, so she was waiting for them to get aboard together.
After the man walked them to the gate and came back, he icily looked at his younger cousin. “Follow me to the Finance Room to get your salary. You don’t need to come to work tomorrow!”
He had always wanted to fire her, because the woman was lazy and snobbish. Given that she hadn’t caused any trouble before, he had turned a blind eye. However, he couldn’t tolerate it anymore. In addition, this woman was merely a relative of his step-mother, and had nothing to do with him. If it hadn’t been for his father, he would never have allowed her to work here.
After Gu Ning and the others got aboard, they coincidentally sat in the same row. The cute little boy kept staring at Gu Ning from his mother’s arms. Gu Ning was amused and smiled to him. “Why are you staring at me all the time?”
“I think you’re great! You gave mommy a pill, and mommy is fine!” the little boy said.
Gu Ning laughed a little, but didn’t say anything.
And then the little boy continued. “My grandpa is sick. Can you help my grandpa?”
Um…
Hearing that, they were all surprised. The mother felt a little embarrassed, and explained at once. “Please don’t mind him. He’s just a child.”
Although she did wake up after taking Gu Ning’s pill, she had only passed out because she was physically weak. Her father, on the other hand, was seriously sick, and a pill couldn’t cure him.
“What kind of disease does his grandpa have? Maybe I can do something,” Gu Ning said. She wasn’t able to reject a cute little child.
Hearing that, the mother’s eyes lit up, but soon went back to normal. Apparently, she didn’t have much hope. “My father is a stroke patient. Although he survived last time, he has paraplegia[1] and relies on chemotherapy to prolong his life now. We know that it’s hopeless.” Thinking about that, the mother looked so sad.
“Is your father in the capital?” Gu Ning asked.
“Yes!” the mother replied.
“If you trust me, you can let him take my medicine which you have just taken. Um, you probably won’t believe me even if I tell you how effective the medicine is right now, but it is harmless,” Gu Ning said. “If you have worries, you can have my phone number and take a picture of my ID card. If anything happens, you can find me.”
“I trust you!”
The mother didn’t believe that Gu Ning’s medicine could cure her father, but believed that it was harmless. She had woken up after taking Gu Ning’s medicine after all, and Gu Ning even allowed her to take a picture of her ID card. In addition, she would try everything to help her father.
Gu Ning understood that it was hard for the mother to believe her, because they were simply strangers till now.
“There is a pill in each of these three porcelain bottles. The pill will melt in contact with water. Take a pill every three days, and you can ask a doctor to examine your father’s body two hours after he’s taken the pill.”
