Chapter 201: Debt Collection
Bai Zhi glared at Xie Zheng, her tone mocking, "So you're the only one with bitterness in your heart? So you've experienced setbacks and misfortunes, what are you being so dramatic about?"
"What do you know?" Xie Zheng retorted with a dark face.
“I really don’t understand your affectation,” Bai Zhi continued. “Who hasn’t experienced some setbacks? What are you pretending to be so sentimental for? I think you’re just incompetent and incapable, trying to escape reality this way.”
Xie Zheng, "!!!"
“You and Lu Ye are childhood friends. You’ve noticed that Lu Ye is becoming more and more outstanding, while you’ve accomplished nothing. So, you’re jealous and resentful, and you can’t stand to see him doing well. You even want to sabotage his relationship. Your mentality is too dark.”
At this point, Bai Zhi dropped a bombshell, "We won't take you on as a patient anymore. You may have physical injuries or illnesses, but I think your mental illness is even more serious."
Bai Zhi stretched out her hand to him, "Pay the medical bills you owe me."
Xie Zheng, "!!!"
Seeing Xie Zheng's blank expression, she impatiently urged, "Hurry up, all I'm doing today is beat you up and ask you for money."
Xie Zheng owed her two thousand yuan for scar removal medicine, and she originally planned to make him pay it back after Xie Zheng became a big star.
This way, you can also do him a favor.
But now she has changed her mind.
Pay back the money.
Xie Zheng looked at the "heartless" Bai Zhi with a face full of despair.
He explained, "I don't have that much money right now."
"How dare you be so arrogant when you have no money?"
Bai Zhi crossed her arms and mocked him mercilessly, "You gave up the military academy entrance exam, wanting to continue Xiao Wei's dream of becoming a musician, but you'd better produce some decent work! Xiao Wei has been gone for ten years, and you're still stuck here in a daze, unable to move on, unable to produce a single decent song. And you're bottling up all your resentment on Lu Ye, what kind of man are you?"
"You think you're being sentimental? Let me tell you, in my opinion, you're nothing. You're not really unable to let go of Xiaowei; you're just simply unambitious. Xiaowei is just a shield you use to cover up your cowardice and incompetence."
Xie Zheng became agitated and loudly retorted, "No, that's not how it is!"
"Stop making excuses." Bai Zhi looked at him with disdain and scoffed, "How have you managed to survive all these years? Haven't you been living off your grandparents' retirement pensions?"
"Go out and ask around, which young man in his twenties lives off his grandparents?"
Bai Zhi looked at him with disdain and sneered, "You think you're so proud of yourself? You keep saying you want to create music, but why don't you try? It's just writing songs, is it that hard? It's because you're useless and can't fulfill Xiao Wei's dream at all."
Xie Zheng lost control of his emotions due to her provocation, his eyes visibly bloodshot. "Shut up!"
"I'll shut you up, but give me my money back." Bai Zhi stretched out her hand to him again.
Xie Zheng felt indebted to someone, and his momentum immediately weakened. "I will pay you back."
"Pay it back, pay it back now." Bai Zhi stood condescendingly in front of him, with the posture of a fierce debt collector.
Shen Qian and Gu Xiaoyue were terrified by Bai Zhi's overwhelming aura.
Xiao Wei is a taboo subject for Xie Zheng. Over the years, they have never dared to mention Xiao Wei's name in front of Xie Zheng.
Sometimes they wanted to scold Xie Zheng to wake him up, but no one dared to provoke him like that.
"Dr. Xiaobai, how much money does Xie Zheng owe you? I'll pay it back for you." Shen Qian said, heading towards her room to get her wallet.
"two thousand."
Shen Qian, “???”
"How much?" She stopped in her tracks, looking at Bai Zhi in disbelief with a strange expression.
"Two thousand," Bai Zhi repeated. "Do you want to pay it back for him? Sure, then give me the money and let him owe you."
Shen Qian looked embarrassed, tucked her hair behind her ear, and said with an awkward laugh, "Can we return it to you when we get back to Nancheng?"
She didn't have that much money in her bag.
Bai Zhi glanced at Shen Qian, who looked embarrassed, and then turned her attention to Xie Zheng, saying, "Fine, Xie Zheng, give it back to me."
Xie Zheng had no money to pay her back. He was a pampered young master from a wealthy family who had been spoiled since childhood. Being chased by a girl to collect a debt made him feel ashamed. He stubbornly said, "I'll pay you back when we get back to Nancheng."
"Alright, I'll give you three days' grace." Bai Zhi looked at him seriously. "Remember, my grandfather and I will not take on any more patients like you. Find another expert to treat your arm."
Xie Zheng panicked and jumped to his feet. "You're taking revenge on me."
He was tall and imposing, casting a shadow over Bai Zhi, but she remained relaxed and her aura was in no way weak. "I learned it from you."
Xie Zheng was completely provoked by Bai Zhi's words. He stared at her intently, gritting his teeth, "Bai Zhi, you can't do this to me."
“I can change my mind if you want.” Bai Zhi turned around and looked at him with deep eyes. “Unless you truly realize your mistake, stand up straight from now on, and go apologize to Lu Ye, if he forgives you, we will continue to treat you.”
Her tone was laced with threat, "Otherwise, you'll be crippled from this arm. You won't be able to play guitar or piano, you'll even have trouble fluffing cotton."
"Take care of yourself." Bai Zhi finished speaking and was about to leave, then said to Shen Qian, "Dr. Shen, have a safe journey."
Bai Zhi went out the door, and Shen Qian hurriedly followed.
"Dr. Xiaobai, you're so cool."
At this moment, Dr. Shen, who is six years older than Bai Zhi, turned into a little fangirl and followed behind Bai Zhi, giving her a thumbs up.
Ten years have passed.
Finally, someone said to Xie Zheng what she wanted to say but dared not say.
"Why didn't you scold him before? Why did you just spoil him like that? Did you treat him like a king?" Bai Zhi turned to look at Shen Qian and asked casually.
Shen Qian sighed, "We dare not. Every time Xiao Wei's name is mentioned, he goes crazy and loses control of his emotions. We are afraid he will do something stupid."
Bai Zhi's words were laced with venom as she spoke calmly, "Don't worry, he's the kind of person who values his life the most; he won't die."
Shen Qian, "!!!"
