Chapter 8 Too Much Charm

She paid the fees online through the hospital's platform while in the car, and then bought some light food that her mother liked at the hospital cafeteria.

When they arrived at the ward, Ji's mother was reading a book, while a large group of people surrounded the bed next to her, creating a noisy scene.

Ji Wanqing's heart clenched. Her mother disliked noise the most, but now she could only endure it in this three-person hospital room.

She placed the food by her mother's bedside, walked to the next bed, and politely spoke.

"Hello, could you please keep your voice down? The patient needs quiet. Thank you for your cooperation."

Upon seeing a young girl approach, one of the patient's family members, an older man, immediately stood up and yelled at Ji Wanqing.

"We were just having a normal conversation, what's it to you? Get out of the way!"

"Never mind, Xiao Qing, come here." Ji's mother said helplessly. She had tried to bring it up before, but they would lower their voices for a while and then become oblivious to everyone else.

Ji Wanqing became stubborn and stood still, refusing to move, showing no fear of the uncle's fierce appearance with his muscular face.

"This is a hospital, not a market. This is a reasonable request. Please be quiet!"

"Hey, little girl, why can't you understand what I'm saying?" The middle-aged man stepped closer, glaring at her fiercely.

Just then, footsteps sounded at the door, along with the sounds Ji Wanqing had just heard on the phone.

"What's all the noise about? This is a hospital room. Even the patients in the next room have complained that you're making too much noise."

Ji Wanqing turned her head and saw a doctor wearing gold-rimmed glasses walk in.

His tall, slender figure and elegant posture instantly made this ordinary hospital room seem like a scene from a TV drama.

The man was indignant and yelled, "What kind of attitude is this? Believe me or not, I'll file a complaint against you!"

As Pei Yu walked, he said coldly, "I am a doctor, not a waiter. Taking good care of patients is my attitude. If you want to complain, please do so."

He stopped in front of Ji Wanqing. "Come to my office."

Ji Wanqing nodded, surprised that he, who seemed aloof, was actually an ambassador of justice.

She turned to her mother and said, "You eat first, I'll be right back."

She followed the doctor, and Pei Yu placed the documents in front of Ji Wanqing.

"I see from the back office that you have paid all the fees. However, I need to discuss the follow-up treatment with you. It would be best to start the cardioprotective agents and immune enhancers as soon as possible. The cost is around 50,000 yuan. Would you like to see if the patient needs to start these treatments as soon as possible?"

Ji Wanqing flipped through the documents and then looked up at Pei Yu.

Her mother's previous attending physician was a leading expert in cardiology that her father had specifically sought out before the family went bankrupt. The sudden change to such a young doctor inevitably made her feel uneasy.

Seemingly seeing through Ji Wanqing's thoughts, Pei Yu raised his hand to push up his glasses and said in a deep voice.

"Dr. Wu is about to retire, so please maintain your trust in him, Ms. Ji. Every treatment plan I devise for my patients is carefully considered."

Feeling embarrassed that her thoughts had been seen through, Ji Wanqing said, "I'm sorry, then I'll have to trouble... the doctor."

Ji Wanqing paused for a moment, and Pei Yu uttered a single word, "Pei".

"Okay, Dr. Pei, thank you." Ji Wanqing smiled awkwardly.

Pei Yu briefly explained to her the benefits and risks of the subsequent treatment plan.

After explaining, he tapped his fingertips twice on a blank spot in the document.

"Please sign here if you agree."

He put it simply and clearly: in general, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. Ji Wanqing signed without hesitation, thanked him again, and left the office.

Back in the ward, Ji's mother was eating. When she saw Ji Wanqing, who had lost a lot of weight, her eyes welled up with tears.

Ji Wanqing walked over and gently patted her, "What are you doing? Eat properly."

Mrs. Ji put down her chopsticks and sighed, "Are those debt collectors still giving you trouble? Maybe I should just give up on treatment..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ji Wanqing frowned and glared at her, then smiled.

“I’m able to earn money now. The doctor just discussed the follow-up treatment plan with me. Just stay here and relax. Once I’ve earned more money, I’ll move you back to a private room. Please bear with it for a while.”

"You? You're not lying to me, are you?" I know my daughter better than anyone. Ji Wanqing was spoiled and lacked even basic self-care skills. How could she have raised tens of thousands of yuan for medical expenses in such a short time?

Ji Wanqing snorted, her face full of pride, "Why would I lie to you?"

After saying that, she sat on the hospital bed and took out her phone to show her mother the balance in her bank card.

"You always said I loved playing games. Look, this is all money I made playing games. I earned more than 200,000 yuan in just a few hours. I didn't have to suffer much. So listen to me, taking good care of your health is more important than anything else."

To avoid worrying her mother, Ji Wanqing concealed the fact that she had been insulted by Xie Beixiao and harassed by Hei Zi, only telling her that the money came easily.

Her daughter had indeed spent a lot of money on games before, and Ji's mother knew a little about it. Seeing the bank card balance, she was somewhat relieved.

She shook her head and chuckled, "I really don't understand you young people."

After comforting her mother, Ji Wanqing watched her eat and talked with her for a while before leaving the hospital.

Before leaving, she saw the doctor's profile hanging on the door of the ward.

"Pei Yu, a first-level chief physician, studied for many years in the Department of Cardiology at Leiden University in the Netherlands and obtained a doctoral degree."

The text then goes on to describe his extensive experience in the industry, demonstrating that Pei Yu is not only good-looking but also has an impressive resume.

Seeing this, Ji Wanqing was finally completely relieved.

After paying for the follow-up treatment, she now only has a little over 100,000 yuan left. The debt collectors want her to come up with 200,000 yuan within three days. Without a sucker like Xie Beixiao, she really doesn't know if she can earn the remaining 100,000 yuan in the time to come.

She didn't dare to delay, so she grabbed a quick bite by the roadside and rushed home to start her live stream.

She hesitated for a moment, but still chose not to show her face, since the rich woman had already seen it anyway.

As soon as I clicked the live stream button, enthusiastic viewers flooded in, with over a thousand people joining within minutes.

[Honey, you're back? Why didn't you rest a little longer?]

[We were just finished eating and feeling bored, so Sunny must be missing us.]

Ji Wanqing cast aside her worries and tried her best to make her voice sound light and cheerful.

"I'm back! Anyone need someone to play with me? Poor streamer waiting for orders online. Same old rules, skilled player, guaranteed gaming experience for the client."

[The esteemed Duke, in a super sweet way, enters the live stream!]

Super sweet! [Order placed, please check.]

Ji Wanqing keenly noticed the golden banner floating in the live stream room and clicked on the pop-up backend.

The boss, named Chaotian, placed ten orders directly, and Ji Wanqing promptly accepted them.

Super sweet! [The game ID is super sweet too, just add it.]

Wow, Duke, your spending has exceeded five million! Another incredibly wealthy woman!

[You wouldn't believe how sweet this is! This female boss in the gaming section is famous for always hiring gaming companions. She even wanted to hire Qingye before, but Qingye wouldn't take the order, which really annoyed her.]

[I heard that Super Sweet recently took a liking to a male gaming companion and sent him over a thousand orders.]

Why not hire one of those companions? Is our Sunny Sister just too charming?

[It's hard to put into words. This game is super sweet but not very friendly to female companions. I'm starting to feel sorry for my 'Sunny' wife.]
