Chapter 13 Chapter 013 The third call.
"How many?"
Qin Yuan also cooperated with her daughter's performance, pretending to be expectant. She was worried last night that her daughter might keep the item because she had given it to her. Now that she heard that Qin Huan had sold it, she was even happier. She thought that she would vigorously support the Qin family in the future. When they had countless gold, she would express gold to her daughter every day so that she could build a golden house in the modern world!
"This number!!!" Qin Huan raised two fingers and made a gesture, which made Qin Yuan frown, thinking that her daughter might have been cheated.
The gold bowl happened to be carrying a pound of express delivery, but it was definitely close to one pound, almost five hundred grams. When she got into trouble, the price of gold was about four hundred yuan per gram. Even if it was purchased, two hundred thousand was too cheap. She had secretly saved gold for her daughter, intending to give it to her daughter as a dowry in the future.
"Two hundred thousand? If that's the recycling price, it should be about the same. Our Huanhuan is awesome!!!"
Qin Yuan gave her daughter a thumbs up. She always had an encouraging policy towards this flesh and blood of her own. However, she did not expect that Qin Huan looked at the mother in the video, burst out laughing, and then shook her head like a child.
"Mom! You've been in a coma for five years, and the price of gold has skyrocketed. Now, a gram costs over a thousand yuan at a gold shop. Even in the shopping malls in Mingzhu City, one piece costs around twelve thousand yuan. So the gold bowl you gave me is only one gram short of 500 grams. Even if it's weighed, it can be sold for at least five hundred thousand! But the gold bowl you gave me is an antique. Although it's not very old, there are big bosses who can recognize its value. My agent helped me sell it to a boss who loves collecting gold, and he gave me two million! But taxes still have to be deducted, so after deducting taxes, it's still over one million."
Excitedly reporting the situation to her mother, Qin Huan had been shouldering everything by herself since her mother fell into a coma. She had grown up almost overnight. Even after entering the entertainment industry, she played the role of a vicious female supporting role. Her bright and radiant face gave people a feeling that she was not easy to mess with and had scheming intentions. But now in front of her mother, she blinked her eyes and spoke in a coquettish voice, like a little child.
"So much?" Qin Yuan was also shocked. "But the price of gold has really risen dramatically. I saved two gold bracelets for you."
Seeing her daughter still shaking her head like when she was a child, she did not bother to correct her and could not help laughing. She thought that with this money, her daughter's life would be better and she would not have to worry about her medical expenses.
"Yes, that's all." Qin Huan nodded happily, and then a look of depression appeared on his face.
"Mom, please don't blame me, okay? Although the driver compensated you after the accident, his family didn't have much money. So when the family ran out of money, I sold the gold bracelet you bought for me. Even when I had a little money, I couldn't get the bracelet back."
Qin Huan's eyes were slightly red as she recalled the time when her mother was in a coma. She had persisted for a long time before she finally found the pair of gold bracelets in her mother's cabinet. She even saw her name engraved on the inner ring, and she was devastated. In the end, she reluctantly sold the gold bracelets to pay for her mother's medical expenses.
How could Qin Yuan blame her? Seeing her daughter's aggrieved and guilty look through the video, she felt even more guilty, but she didn't dare to show it, so she hurriedly said.
"It's okay, it's okay. Mom knows you're doing this for me. I'm here now, and I'll definitely try my best to make a pair of the best gold bracelets for my Huanhuan, okay? Not to mention gold bracelets, I'll also give you jade bracelets. Don't be sad, okay? If you're sad like this, I can't hug you, and I'll be sad too."
Qin Yuan wanted to reach through the screen and hug her daughter. She hated the way heaven had played on her. Why had she gotten into a car accident? Why had her innocent daughter endured so much? These past five years must have been exhausting for her daughter. Now that she had grown into an adult, she felt pity for her, but she didn't dare express it in front of Qin Huan. She only hoped to give her daughter the best in the future.
"Yeah, I knew my mother was the best to me!" Qin Huan burst into laughter, and was coaxed into happiness by Qin Yuan.
"Mom, with the two million, in addition to the taxes, I used it to pay back the 700,000 I owed my agent, Sister Xu, in advance. After deducting the taxes, I still had a little over 1.1 million. Then I paid the hospital bills for a year, which cost 400,000, so in the end I had about 600,000 left. I suddenly feel like I've suddenly become rich~"
Qin Huan reported her spending, just like when she was a child. Even when she was in college, Qin Huan actually liked to report her purchases to her mother. Qin Huan didn't even have her own account on the shopping platform. She liked to use her mother's account. When she opened it, it was all shopping information of the mother and daughter. Until Qin Yuan got into trouble, Qin Huan had not separated from Qin Yuan financially.
It was natural for her to let her mother know about the money.
Four hundred thousand a year? Oh my god! How has my daughter been doing these past five years...
Qin Yuan was suddenly heartbroken. The child's face was filled with love and care as she looked at Qin Huan. She couldn't imagine how Qin Huan, who was only nineteen years old, could afford the medical expenses of four hundred thousand yuan a year for her vegetative mother. And this was just the hospital expenses. If there were also the expenses for the nursing staff in the hospital, Qin Yuan couldn't imagine how much pressure her daughter would be under.
"It's good that you can leave some money. You can use it to buy something you like. Mom can't be with you anymore, so you should take good care of yourself. Huanhuan, you've worked really hard these past few years. Tell me how you've been doing these past few years. I want to know everything."
It can't be avoided after all. Even though Qin Huan has been happy from the beginning of the call until now, these five years have not been so easy.
In the beginning, the mother and daughter depended on each other for survival. Later, when Qin Yuan got into trouble, Qin Huan almost collapsed. If it wasn't for the money she needed to earn for her mother's medical expenses, Qin Huan really would have wanted to die.
If it weren't for her good friends in the dormitory who helped her deal with her mother's affairs and even comforted her emotions, Qin Huan really didn't know what she would have done at that time.
Hearing that his mother wanted to know everything about him, Qin Huan had no intention of hiding it from her.
"Mom, I've actually been pretty lucky. Your love allowed me to grow up carefree, and I safely completed junior high and high school. I chose my favorite medical department in college, and even met like-minded roommates in the dormitory. I've always been very happy, even though at that time I always thought I would become a doctor who saves lives."
This was Qin Huan’s dream in the past, and he would smile whenever he talked about it.
"But even if I hadn't become a doctor, I'd be happy. After you got into trouble, the police notified me to go to the hospital to see you. I was really scared. Luckily, Jiaojiao, Shiman, and Sitian accompanied me and even helped me deal with everything after the incident. I was so scared at the time that I didn't know what to do. It was the three of them who helped me go through the police process and found a new hospital for you. After everything settled down, I learned that you had become a vegetable. The doctor said you might wake up, or you might never wake up."
Qin Huan didn't cry, but her voice was choked. She tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes. She didn't dare to look at her mother. She slightly raised her head to push the tears back into her eyes.
Qin Yuan didn't say anything. She knew her daughter's three roommates. When she sent her daughter to school, she specially invited her daughter's three roommates to have dinner together. Later, after remembering the tastes of these three girls, she sent them food several times.
Qin Yuan still remembers that Jin Jiaojiao loved spicy food, even eating it even when it was spicy enough to make her cry. Gui Sitian's name has the word "sweet" in it, but she's actually a cool girl. She likes the bacon Qin Yuan makes. And Zhang Shiman, on the other hand, loves sweet and sour dishes, and her favorite is Qin Yuan's squirrel mandarin fish, which she always finishes.
"At that time, I don't know how I managed to get through the first six months. Before we could find a new hospital for you and more suitable medical staff, Jiaojiao, Sitian, and Shiman took turns taking care of you with me every day. Not long after that, I met my agent, Xu Hui."
This is also the strangest fate in life.
"Xu Hui is a well-known agent in the entertainment industry. She happened to be at the hospital to treat an arm injury sustained by an extreme fan, and she bumped into me. She said my face was perfect for the entertainment industry, and told me that if I was short of money, I could sign a contract with her. Perhaps I looked struggling and needed help at the time, so I accepted the offer."
Qin Huan always smiles when talking about Xu Hui, because she is a very important benefactor in her life. It's strange to say, after her mother's incident, someone in the university organized a fundraising to donate money to Qin Huan's vegetative mother. In the end, it caused a big fuss, but the money was not much. However, Qin Huan was harassed by many people, including some rich second-generations in the school who were not short of money, or men who harassed her after hearing the news. They would say, "I can support you so that you can let your mother live."
Qin Huan was filled with disgust when she thought of such a disgusting man. She had always tried to live on her own and never believed in gifts from others.
"Later, I signed a contract with Jintai Entertainment Company. Because I have a rather stern look, after a month of acting training at the company, Sister Xu took me to guest-star in various scripts. I was the kind of vicious female supporting role that only appeared for a few minutes, both in ancient and modern costume dramas. After several guest appearances, Sister Xu put me in a small crew of the company and became the second female lead. After filming this TV series, I had over 200,000 fans. Sister Xu saw that I was short of money, and she also taught me to open an online video account and arranged some videos for me to sell small items. I did make some money. After that, I transferred you to the current hospital. Although the medical expenses are very expensive, this hospital has very good confidentiality and is very caring towards patients."
Everything started out so calmly, but Qin Yuan could tell from her daughter's calm tone that it wasn't all that simple. How could she get into the entertainment industry so easily? But she didn't dare ask, for fear of upsetting her daughter.
"Huanhuan is the best! She studied medicine and became the best doctor. She also became a celebrity that everyone loves!"
Qin Yuan praised him, feeling extremely guilty, but she still managed to force a smile.
Qin Huan was very happy to be praised, and he felt a little proud when he talked about his career.
"Mom, I've discovered that I seem to have a real talent for being a star. After my first role as the second female lead became a minor hit, I've had other guest appearances. Although they were special appearances, the pay was quite good. I've also had some ordinary endorsements. Although I don't make much money in a year, I can still take care of your medical expenses and things like that. Although there are occasional gaps, I'm already very satisfied."
Qin Huan loves what he does and never thought that he could become a star. At this moment, he just feels that life is unpredictable.
"I wish I could see the TV series you filmed. What would it be like if my daughter acted in a TV series?"
Qin Yuan was extremely curious, but Qin Huan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Thinking of his explosive acting skills when he first debuted, he thought it was good that his mother didn't see it, so he immediately changed the subject.
"Anyway, I've been approached by more scripts since then, and I even participated in a variety show. As a result, I have over three million fans, making me something of an 18th-tier celebrity. Before I contacted you, I was filming a movie for the famous director Fang Qian. It's about a singing girl who saves the country in troubled times, so I filmed it completely in seclusion for five months. Actually, my role is the second or third female lead. If it gets broadcast, I should get even more fans..."
Qin Huan didn't say that he received a critical illness notice from the hospital after leaving the crew. He just shared everything. Even so, Qin Yuan listened carefully.
"Then... do you like being a female star now? Actually, if you don't like it, Mom can send you something every day. See if you can sell it and make money. Mom will support you."
Qin Yuan doesn't want her daughter to be so tired. Although she wants to see the movies her daughter shoots, if her daughter doesn't like it, she would rather she keep raising her.
Even now, Qin Yuan didn't dare to ask if Qin Huan had graduated from that medical university. With her mother's serious illness, her acting career, and the heavy burden of studying, how did her daughter manage?
Qin Huan couldn't help laughing as she watched her shrunken mother in the video saying she wanted to support her.
"Of course I like it, Mom. I used to want to be a doctor, but after becoming a star, I found that there are many lovely fans who like me because of my acting. When I feel like I can't hold on any longer, they also encourage me. So, Mom, I really like being a star. Don't worry about me. As long as you are doing well in Dayong Dynasty and talk to me on video every day, I will be happy."
Of course, Qin Huan also secretly said in her heart that she would support her mother, and the two of them would support each other, hehe!
"That's good. If you like it, then go ahead. Mom will send you a small ginseng box today, okay? Since your agent has taken such good care of you, consider this ginseng a gift from Mom to her as a thank you for taking care of you for the past five years. As for your friends, I'll see if there's anything they might like and send it to you later."
Qin Yuan only found out this morning that the food sent by the Zhang family included not only meat, but also grains and medicinal herbs, all kinds of medicinal herbs. Among them was a small wild ginseng, which Xie Yaer specially brought over and told her daughter to give to the little fairy.
At least in Xie Yaer's opinion, this ginseng is much more reliable than the golden bowl...
"Okay! Then I'll thank mom on their behalf!"
In fact, Qin Huan had secretly sent gifts to her roommates through their circle of friends, but Qin Huan was also happy that her mother wanted to choose gifts for her good friends because she loved her. From childhood to adulthood, the gifts a child received from his friends could prove whether the child was loved by adults. Qin Huan liked her mother to take care of these things for her.
"Well, the time is counting down. We'll talk next time."
Qin Yuan looked at the final countdown, her face filled with reluctance, but there was nothing she could do. The system only gave her half an hour for the video call, and just learning about her daughter had already used up half an hour...
As soon as Qin Huan hung up the phone, he immediately received a box from his mother. After opening it, there was a small ginseng inside. This thing should be wild ginseng, which is perfect for giving to his agent.
As for Qin Yuan... when she received her daughter's package and found that it was a pile of medicine, she was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry...
