Chapter 409 What Kind of Revenge Counts as Revenge (Part 2)
Xu Nian was scared when he heard that the operation was risky. Even though Dr. Zhang comforted him, he was still nervous and felt like a heavy weight was hanging over his head.
"Have you collected enough money for the surgery?"
Xu Nian nodded: "It's already gathered."
"Then go and pay part of the fee today to make sure there's money in your medical insurance card."
Xu Nian walked into the ward in a daze and looked at his mother lying on the bed receiving an IV drip. His mother originally had long black hair, but now it was all shaved off. She was very thin, and the blood vessels on her arms were bulging out like old branches. The back of her hands were swollen from receiving IV drips from morning to night.
Her mother was still sleeping, and Xu Nian didn't want to wake her up, so she sat quietly by the bed and reached out to cover the back of Xu's mother's hand to warm it.
The slight movement still woke up Xu's mother.
"Niannian, you're back?" She opened her eyes and saw Xu Nian's face, her eyes widening in surprise. "What's wrong with your face? Did someone bully you?"
Xu Nian subconsciously covered her face. "No one is bullying me. I'm allergic to the skincare products I used. It will be fine in a couple of days. By the way, Mom, how are you feeling now?"
"It's just like usual. I'm used to it." Used to the torture of illness.
Xu Nian covered her cold hand: "Mom, the operation will be done soon. After the operation, when you recover, when you are well, I will take you abroad."
"Silly child, where did you get so much money? A kidney transplant would cost hundreds of thousands."
"Don't worry about the money. I'm an assistant to a famous star. She lent it to me. I'll just pay her back slowly."
"Is that the one who gave you a raise and the one you often talk about on the phone, Chen Zhichu?" asked Xu's mother.
Xu Nian's face froze, and he didn't know how to respond to Xu's mother's question.
"Mom, if a person does something wrong, will he never be forgiven by the victim?"
"You must know that there is no true empathy in this world. You can never truly understand the pain someone is going through."
Xu Nian was silent.
"Niannian, has something happened to you?" Mother Xu looked at her worriedly, raising her hand to place it on her head. Her voice was weak, "It's Mom who's dragged you down. I wish I wasn't sick, so you wouldn't have to work so hard. But Niannian, you must remember that a person can be poor but not without ambition. Don't do things against your conscience for money. I wouldn't be happy using such money. What Mom wants most in this life is for you to live a good and happy life."
"If you do something wrong, you must apologize. There is a price to pay for anything you do, whether good or bad. One's heart shouldn't hold too many things, especially guilt."
Xu Nian felt her nose sore, and the sourness that she had suppressed with great difficulty came back. She turned her head and tears burst out of her eyes.
"Mom, don't worry too much. Just treat your illness well. Only when you are well can I be well. You rest first and I will pay the bill."
Xu Nian got up and went downstairs to the payment counter to take out the bank card that Xia Yanyue gave her. She had gone to the bank the day before to check and confirmed that there was one million in it.
Xu Nian handed the card over and entered the password. After waiting for a while, there was no response, and she felt uneasy.
The staff handed her the card and said, "Change it. Your card has been frozen."
Xu Nian was anxious: "Why is it frozen? I checked it the day before yesterday and it was normal."
The staff member gave her a strange look and said, "You don't even know how it got frozen? Call the bank and ask."
Xu Nian took the card, but no matter how she called the bank, the card was not hers.
She stood in the hall and called Xia Yanyue. When the first call didn't work, she called the second, third, and fourth time. Perhaps because she was annoyed by her calls, Xia Yanyue finally picked up the phone.
"Sister Yan Yue, I want to ask why the bank card you gave me was frozen?"
A sneer rang out over the phone: "Xu Nian, you've done such a shabby job, and you expect me to give you a million for a worthless cat. You really take yourself too seriously."
"Sister Yan Yue, that's not what you said at the beginning. You clearly said that as long as I take the cat out, you will let my mother go and give me one million."
"Didn't I already release your mother? As for the one million, it was originally intended to be hush money for you, but now that I've been exposed, why should I still give you money?"
Xu Nian was trembling all over, her head was hot and her back was cold. At this moment, she seemed to have lost consciousness and came to a world of nothingness. People were coming and going around her, and there were all kinds of sounds in the hall, but she could not hear any sound.
She moved her lips and begged involuntarily, "Sister Yan Yue, please save my mother. I need this one million. Just think of it as a loan from you. I will definitely pay it back. My mother will have surgery the day after tomorrow. If it's too late, her life will be in danger. Please help me."
"What does your mother's life being in danger have to do with me?" The phone was hung up after he finished speaking.
Xu Nian called back tremblingly, but Xia Yanyue had already blocked her, so she couldn't get through even if she broke her phone.
Xu Nian’s mind suddenly flashed with the words that Shen Zhichu said before leaving.
——"One day you will pay for everything you have done."
The bank card fell from her hand to the ground, and she looked at it with a dull look.
The bank card seemed to remind her that she was a joke, a complete joke.
