Chapter 24 Chapter 24

The lawyer that Ruo Ruo hired was indeed very capable. Within a few days, she got the property that belonged to her without even having to file a lawsuit. The lawyer said that Bai Yougen's attitude was very firm at the beginning, but he suddenly changed his mind, as if he had been persuaded by someone.

She gave the lawyer a big red envelope. The lawyer was embarrassed to accept it at first, but finally accepted it after her insistence.

Ruo Ruo was delighted and treated Aunt Qin and the four bodyguards to a feast. They went to eat on their own, while Ruo Ruo ate porridge in the hospital room. Hmm... today's porridge was also very delicious!

She thought about how Xia Peizhi hadn't been there for several days. She wondered if his grandfather had been discharged from the hospital, or if the previous incident hadn't been resolved. Ruo Ruo picked up her phone and sent him a message.

[I have money now, I will treat you to a meal someday!]

After sending the message, she didn't wait for a reply, instead counting on her fingers who else she could share her joy with. After a long search, she realized there was no one else besides the doctors and nurses. But doctors and nurses weren't suitable for dinner, so Ruo Ruo started thinking about what fruits were suitable for the season and could buy some for them.

For Ruo Ruo, whose highest expense was hospital bills, half of the family fortune was more than she could spend.

[Okay, Ruoruo is awesome! Unfortunately, I’m in S City right now. Please treat me when you get back!]

(Panda heartache jpg.)

I might even have some good news for you when I get back!]

Xia Peizhi always replied to messages quickly, as if he was always waiting by the phone, afraid of missing any message from Ruoruo.

"Why can't you tell me now?" Ruo Ruo was intrigued by him and sent him a voice message.

Xia Peizhi's heart skipped a beat as he listened to the voice message. He listened to it three times to make sure Ruoruo wasn't angry before insisting on waiting for him to return. The main reason was that the results weren't in yet, and it would be a shame if his excitement was for nothing.

[I saw the ocean in S City. When you recover from your illness, can we come here to see the ocean together?]

[Can the disease be cured?]

[Of course!]

[That's great. If I can recover, we can go to the beach together. We can also go to the zoo in Province C. I heard there are giant pandas there.]

…

In the days that followed, Ruoruo continued her usual life day after day. In addition to reading, she also developed a new hobby, which was to practice some simple and easy movements taught to her by the bodyguards.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or if it really works, but after practicing, she slept more soundly.

Xia Peizhi often called, but his caring calls were never very long. When he noticed that Ruoruo was a little tired, he hung up the phone without hesitation and let her rest.

So Ruo Ruo often teased him, pretending to be tired. Seeing that he was reluctant but also afraid to disturb her, she said, "I have something else to do. Let's talk next time."

Then Ruo Ruo suppressed her laughter and deliberately said, "Oh, I'm so bored, A Ke, can you come and chat with me?"

Xia Peizhi then coughed twice to indicate that nothing was wrong on his side.

As a result, whenever Zhang Qin heard the two of them chatting on the phone, she would wonder if this person was being too cautious.

Ever since Bai Minmin saw Ruoruo's appearance, she has become very fond of coming to the hospital. Lu Yi also likes coming to the hospital as much as she does.

When the two met for the first time, they looked at each other and seemed to know what the other was thinking.

Bai Minmin did not feel sorry for his change of attitude. Anyone who had met Ruoruo would think that his reaction was normal.

It's just that he's really an eyesore.

Lu Yi felt a little guilty when he first saw Bai Minmin, but after removing the filter he had used for Bai Minmin, Lu Yi discovered that all the wrongs he had done in the past had traces to follow.

It was true that he had liked her in the past, but had she ever really cared about him? And were the things she had cried about in front of him really true?

Lu Yi didn't dare to think further. He was like a coward and didn't dare to admit his mistakes.

They tacitly agreed not to mention the tacit plan.

This time, the two are no longer in an ambiguous relationship, but in a sense, they are in a real competitive relationship.

Unfortunately, they had taken opposite paths from the very beginning, and neither of them had managed to meet Ruo Ruo.

After sending Bai Yougen to prison, Bai Minmin took the newly drafted property transfer agreement to the hospital.

Ruoruo asked a lawyer to look at it and then signed it.

Zhang Qin was surprised that she was willing to accept the gift so directly.

"I thought you would insist on half each and wouldn't accept it. But it's better to accept it. Your sister doesn't seem to like these material possessions anyway."

Bai Minmin stood at the door listening, tears streaming down her face. How could she not care? She really shouldn't care too much. These "external things" were her biggest pursuit in the past! It was just that she wanted to please Ruoruo more. This showed that Ruoruo was more important to her than money!

How could someone misinterpret someone else's meaning like this!

Ruo Ruo didn't say anything. For someone who didn't enjoy spending money or making money, in fact, as long as the money was enough, it was fine. But there was a faint voice in her heart telling her that she should accept it, just like Bai Minmin got what belonged to her in the original plot of the novel. This time, the property that belonged to Bai Minmin should be hers.

"I have signed the agreement. Aunt Qin, please let my sister go back." She was going to start looking for a qualified professional manager.

Bai Minmin, who gave away everything she had without even seeing him: ...

She knew she had been unfriendly to Ruoruo in the past, but when Ruoruo refused to even see her, her heart still ached like a knife. However, she became more and more courageous and determined to win.

What she wants may not be easy to get, but she will always try her best to fight for it and never give up, no matter the process or means.

Lu Yi arrived in the aisle at some point. I don't know what was in his mind, but this time he only sat in the aisle for a while and then left in a hurry, determined to get what he wanted, without even the bodyguards needing to help.

.

OU Research Laboratory in S City.

Xia Peizhi was waiting outside anxiously.

Finally, at four in the morning, someone came out of the laboratory.

Ma Songjin rubbed his eyes and found that he was not mistaken. This big boss was not sleeping in the middle of the night and was really waiting for the result here.

"How's it going?" Xia Peizhi handed him a bottle of water. Although his face showed no emotion, his quickened pace betrayed his eagerness.

Ma Songjin unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip. "Of course it worked! I promised you, as long as the money, herbs, and machinery are in place, I will definitely figure it out."

"Mr. Xia, can you rest assured now? However, we can't mass-produce the drug yet. Each pill is very expensive, and it takes three to five courses of treatment to guarantee a complete cure. The actual cure is much more expensive than a heart transplant."

"But heart transplants are risky and have many side effects. I don't want even a little bit of risk."

Ma Songjin: "There are risks involved when walking on the road! But as long as you don't mind the money, taking this medicine is indeed better than a heart transplant. Mr. Xia, don't forget your promise. As long as we can develop this medicine and achieve clinical results, you can provide my brother with five courses of medicine for free."

"Of course, as long as this medicine is effective, you can use as much as you want, not to mention five courses of treatment."

"Mr. Xia really doesn't look like a businessman."

"This medicine is not for my business."

"Your wife is so lucky." Ma Songjin scratched his head and sighed.

"Ahem." Xia Peizhi clenched his fist and covered his mouth with his hands, coughing twice. The darkness blurred his features, making it impossible to see the blush on his face. "Not yet. I... am still trying!"

This was the first time Ma Songjin took the initiative to mention the person who could make this big boss spend huge sums of money on drug research, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Is this the world of the rich? Not only did he spend hundreds of millions on someone he simply liked, but he also had to rely on others for hard-to-find equipment and medicinal herbs. Lab assistants often lamented privately that this tycoon must have a deep relationship with his wife to be able to go to such lengths. And it turned out she wasn't his wife.

"Mr. Xia is so generous..."

Xia Peizhi could tell what he was thinking at a glance, and shook her head to explain, "It's not that I'm generous, but she deserves it. It's my honor to be able to help her."

Xia Peizhi smiled and truly felt that he was lucky.

"Well... okay..." Even if Ma Songjin had a low EQ, he still felt that he couldn't go against the boss at this time. "Then I'll go back to sleep first!"

"I'll ask the driver to take you home! Get in the car." Xia Peizhi opened the car door for him.

Ma Songjin was flattered, "Thank you, thank you."

"I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for your amazing ability to actually develop a special medicine."

"No, I should thank you. Without you, this medicine would not have been developed."

He had no money and was not good at the ways of the world. Even though he felt confident and had looked up piles of theoretical knowledge and memorized everything, no one believed him. He traveled to many places with the information, and everyone thought he was dreaming.

Some, upon hearing that he didn't even have a college degree, wanted to imitate him in his research, without even looking at the materials. Some did look at the materials, but when they saw the high cost, they politely declined him by putting the materials aside.

Before Xia Peizhi came to him, he had actually given up hope and started researching other things, trying to make some money and work hard to find a suitable heart donor so that his brother could undergo a heart transplant.

…

There were still many things to do later, but none of them required Xia Peizhi to do it personally, so Xia Peizhi was busy in S City for two months and finally returned to A City.

When he arrived at the hospital, he ran into his grandfather downstairs before he could even go up. The old man was playing chess with another patient in a hospital gown! His eldest grandson had even walked up to him without noticing.

"Grandpa..." Xia Peizhi was helpless. He didn't know how this old man had chess friends everywhere. It was obvious that no one had ever thought of playing chess here before.

"Hmph!" The old man was disgusted when he saw Xia Peizhi turn around.

"You are Old Xia's grandson, right?" his grandfather's chess friend asked him.

Xia Peizhi nodded.

"Young man, you can't do this! You have to be filial. Your grandfather raised you with all his hard work, wasn't it easy? You didn't even visit him when he was in the hospital, and you didn't even want him to stay. You look like you're well dressed, so how can you be so stingy with such a small amount of money?"

A vein throbbed in Xia Peizhi's forehead. He didn't really want to know how his grandfather described him outside.

He nodded in agreement without any explanation.

"Grandpa, let's go back. I brought you some delicious food." Xia Peizhi said in a normal voice.

"What, you want to send me to see your father? Your father died a long time ago, you unfilial thing!" Grandpa Xia roared.

Xia Peizhi: ...Okay, if you want to find fault, just say it. Don't pretend to be deaf, old man. Your health is better than that of today's young people.

"I went to S City for something these past two months. Can I apologize to you? Before I left, I wanted to tell you that you were playing chess with Uncle Zhao on your phone and had no time to pay attention to me."

"What? You want me to die? And you want your Uncle Zhao to share my journey to the underworld?" The old man's voice was still extremely loud.

The chess player opposite him said, "You're bullying your grandfather out there? No, Old Xia, you can't go back with him."

Xia Peizhi watched as the old man across from him was about to call the police to arrest him...

It turns out that his grandfather did it on purpose, and the person on the other side was really deaf.

"Pei Zhi..."

Xia Peizhi turned around stiffly and found Ruoruo sitting in a wheelchair not far away.

Grandpa Xia, who was playing chess, heard the sound, looked at the girl, then looked at his eldest grandson, put down the chess pieces, and played more straight.

It didn't matter if the girl was covered tightly or in a wheelchair, as long as she was a person, it would be fine. Not to mention that it was a girl, who was much older than expected.

Grandpa Xia smiled happily.

"Pei Zhi, how can you say that about your grandfather!" Ruo Ruo couldn't believe it.

Xia Peizhi froze, and Grandpa Xia also froze.

"Hello, Grandpa Xia~ My name is Bai Ruoruo, and I used to be Pei Zhi's friend. I haven't visited you in such a long time!"

In fact, Aunt Qin had been there, but only a few times, and the ward was empty.

"Hey, good, good! Hello to you too! Hello to you too!"

"Grandpa Xia, are you okay?" Ruoruo cast a reproachful look at Xia Peizhi.

"Girl, things..." are not what you heard.

"If he bullies you, you must tell him! Let's call the police and arrest him!" Ruo Ruo clenched her fists.

Xia Peizhi was worried at first that she might have misunderstood, but after hearing her tone, he stopped worrying and smiled, "Well, call the police and arrest me!"

Then he was met with a heavy blow from Grandpa Xia, "Speak properly, you little bastard!"

Grandpa Xia was very nervous, fearing that his most likely future granddaughter-in-law would slip away in the blink of an eye.

If you had told me earlier that there was such a familiar girl staying in the same hospital with him! If you had told me earlier, he might have even set a wedding date for this brat!

"Ruoruo! You misunderstood. I was just joking! Pei Zhi didn't say those words just now. Pei Zhi has been filial since he was young. He could cook at the age of five and gave me, an old man, a gift at the age of ten..."

Xia Peizhi felt a headache after hearing this. His grandfather's boasts were so exaggerated that even eight horses couldn't pull them back. This was also the reason why he had never told his grandfather about Ruo Ruo.

God knows how good his grandfather is at chatting!

Especially after they returned to the ward and Ruoruo took off her mask, the old man froze for a few seconds and then said that he was not worthy and wanted to introduce Ruoruo to someone better.

Xia Peizhi, standing nearby, was nearly in tears. He only wished his grandfather would stop talking and leave quickly. It was a pity that if his grandfather could do as she wished, he wouldn't be his grandfather anymore.

Grandpa Xia was quite outgoing and it didn't take long for him to become familiar with not only Ruoruo, but also Zhang Qin and the four bodyguards.

In order to sell his grandson, he did everything he could! Although he was old, he still had his way. In the past, he had been messing around with his matchmaking, and his grandson's expression was not very good.

This time it was completely different. Although I felt helpless, I didn't even feel really angry.

Of course, this girl looks like a fairy. If Xia Peizhi doesn't even like her... then he must have a sick eye!

Within half an hour, Grandpa Xia had successfully infiltrated the enemy. He not only praised Ruoruo like a flower, but also talked about his family situation in a roundabout way, and took the opportunity to make Xia Peizhi feel miserable.

"His parents divorced a few years ago. He and his sister Zhizhi lived with their dad and mom respectively. They were both miserable children. His dad died in a car accident the same day he got his divorce certificate. Although his mom was still alive, she never cared about him. She even let Zhizhi be bullied by others. It was only when he, at a young age, stood up for his sister that she did it."
