Chapter 1097 I am vicious and I am proud (XVIII)
Gu Qingcheng’s almost reverse operation made everyone a little confused.
Her reputation was reversed in an instant.
Initially, the medical staff had some criticisms about "Gao Aojun": he was a rich second-generation, had fled the scene of a car accident, and the victim was a single mother with two children...
Each keyword is so heart-wrenching and reflects the reality and helplessness of society.
In particular, at the beginning, Gao Aojun also tried to force the patient's family to "reconcile" by using medical expenses.
It is simply a typical example of using money to oppress others and being rich but unkind.
Many medical staff couldn't stand it anymore and secretly took videos and recorded audio.
They thought that if Gao Aojun continued to be domineering and arrogant, they would not be able to be exposed.
We are all ordinary people and cannot be bullied by rich people like this.
At this moment, "Gao Aojun" suddenly realized that he was wrong and began to make up for it.
He took the initiative to pay the medical expenses and went to apologize to the patient's family, Xie Mingtang.
Finally, the reputation has been improved a little.
However, the initial bad impression was too deep, and even if the "arrogant man" later repented and made amends, his attitude became almost humble.
Medical staff and families of patients in nearby wards will still be wary and critical.
But at this moment, seeing Gao Aojun who was so willful to the point of being arrogant and vicious, everyone suddenly felt that this rich second-generation was not so hopeless.
Yes, she did hit someone, and tried to use money and power to get away with it.
But, he admitted his mistake and was willing to be beaten.
In order to compensate the victim, they did not hesitate to go to court.
Although this sounds a bit "absurd", it really shows that the other party has the intention to repent and make compensation.
This is much better than some rich people who would rather spend money to hire lawyers and legal counsel than compensate the victims according to legal provisions and moral constraints.
People all need comparison.
There are so many weirdos and non-humans in society. Even if it is a spoiled and willful young lady, if she at least behaves like a human being, people around her will think that "she is not bad!" Xie Mingtang: ...What is good? You don't know anything! This arrogant lady, she, she——
However, Xie Mingtang was too ashamed to talk about what happened in the bar.
This made him lose the strong evidence to judge Gao Aojun.
Moreover, even if Xie Mingtang suppressed his shame and anger and told the story of how Miss Gao had once wanted to protect him and when that failed she retaliated against him, not all the people around him would sympathize with or support him.
Just like Gao Aojun’s sophistry on the phone that night before, worldly prejudice is indeed wrong, but it exists.
Many people have the "victim-blaming theory" in their subconscious - which child from a good family would go to work in places like bars and KTVs? Such places are full of mixed people and are full of filth, so it is normal to be "teased" by them.
Just like people have always had prejudices against tattoos.
People with tattoos are not necessarily bad people. Many guys with tattoos are actually kind and gentle people.
But the question is, in public, do you think the guy with tattoos is more trustworthy, or the elite in formal suit holding a notebook?
Besides, Miss Gao just wanted to use her money to support him and did not harass him. Strictly speaking according to the law, "voluntary gift" between lovers is not illegal.
When you go to a place like that and get paid a high salary, to some extent you are acknowledging the fact that you might be harassed.
...Xie Mingtang knew about these prejudices and these so-called unspoken rules.
He also knew clearly that if he spoke out, he might not get everyone's sympathy and support.
Okay! As for the incident at the bar, the harm you caused me, just pretend it never happened.
But my mother, and my sister—
Just as Xie Mingtang was struggling internally, Gu Qingcheng spoke again:
"Doctor, bed 19 is in this condition, isn't it going to be easy for him to wake up?"
"It's hard to say. Based on the current situation, there is a certain possibility that she will wake up, but--" No one can guarantee what the probability is.
"So, in her case, would it be better for her to live in a professional nursing home?"
"A qualified and regular sanatorium is really good!" In the patient's condition, there is no need for him to continue to stay in the hospital.
As for a vegetative state, what he needs is not treatment but recuperation.
"That's good. I have already contacted XX Sanatorium and deposited one million yuan..."
Doctor: ...If you have money, you can be arrogant.
It's often in the millions.
You know, this young lady just deposited one million in hospital fees for bed 19 a few days ago.
Tsk tsk, now he takes out another million to transfer her to the best sanatorium in the provincial capital.
The doctor had to admit that the young lady really wanted to make up for her mistake.
No one is perfect. Who can be without fault? Knowing one 's mistakes and correcting them is the greatest virtue! The patients and their families who came over to eat melons couldn't help but nod secretly.
In fact, to put it bluntly but it is true, let alone the perpetrator, even if it is one's closest relatives, it is not easy for "Gao Ao Jun" to do what he did.
Being sick, being hospitalized, and then undergoing rehabilitation and physical therapy, etc., consumes a lot of money and emotions.
Of course, some people would say that the eldest daughter of the Gao family is rich, and she should compensate the victim.
However, as people who have suffered badly in society, we all know that there are many things that "should" be done in this world.
But what is the reality? Just because something is “should” doesn’t mean it’s really supposed to happen. There are too many rich people who are unkind and too many disgusting operations that go beyond the bottom line.
Compared to these people with no bottom line, people like Miss Gao Aojun who are bad but open-minded are all little cuties and little angels.
Except Xie Mingtang.
Others may not know what Miss Gao did, but he knew it very well.
"You want to transfer my mother to a nursing home? Who are you to make decisions for my mother?"
"I, I don't agree! I don't want your filthy money!"
Xie Mingtang still wanted to maintain his integrity.
This time, there was no need for Gu Qingcheng to speak, as the onlookers were enthusiastically persuading her -
"Child, don't be angry!"
"Yeah, didn't you hear what the doctor said? Go to a nursing home. It's good for your mother!"
"That's right. I heard that you're still a student? In addition to attending classes every day, you also have to work. After work, you still have to come and take care of your mother? Send your mother to a nursing home, and you don't have to work so hard!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Yes, there are obviously better places, but you can't let your mother suffer just for your so-called dignity!"
Everyone was talking at once, and Xie Mingtang felt even more aggrieved and angry.
"You don't know, it was her who hit my mother—"
It is obvious that Gao Aojun is the culprit.
How come she seems to be the savior now? The discussion among the crowd paused for a moment.
But soon, she started to chatter again: "Oh, your mother was indeed injured by this young lady, but she didn't evade responsibility."
"Yes, yes, compared to those scumbags who would rather spend money on lawsuits than pay compensation, this little girl is already very good!"
"Let's not talk about other places. Just spend a day in the emergency room of this hospital and you will know how precious people who are willing to pay compensation are!"
Xie Mingtang: ...What kind of bullshit is this? If you hit someone, isn't it natural to pay compensation? Everyone: ...This kid, after all, is a college student, so naive.
As it should be?
Haha, there are many things that should be taken for granted. If the hospital takes our money, shouldn’t it cure our illness? Reason is reason, reality is reality.
Even laws, in addition to being fair and strict, must also have "warmth".
"My child, this world is not black and white."
"Yes, things have come to this. If you insist on that, it would be a bit unreasonable!"
People around him could understand Xie Mingtang's youthful and energetic appearance.
Everyone has been young, and everyone has gone through this stage.
They all gave kind words of comfort.
"Your mother has become like this, and the young lady is willing to pay compensation and bear all the responsibilities. This is already a blessing in disguise."
"You can also continue to study hard."
"Besides, these are what your mother and you deserve. Don't be so stupid as to refuse them just for the sake of so-called dignity!"
"I heard you have a younger sister who's still in high school?"
Everyone's words seemed to remind Gu Qingcheng.
She snapped her fingers, "Yes! And Xie Mingya!"
Gu Qingcheng didn't hesitate for a moment. She took out her phone and found the lawyer's contact information.
Although this lawyer once complained that "I am not a turtle in the wishing well", in many cases he can indeed "grant every wish".
"Lawyer, help me, I want to be responsible for Xie Mingya's tuition, living expenses, and future college expenses!"
"Is one million enough? Or, I can just set up an education fund for her!"
"She is a minor. I hit her mother and left her without a guardian, so I will bear the corresponding responsibilities—"
Gu Qingcheng spoke rapidly without deliberately lowering the volume.
Everyone around heard it.
Not only the spectators, but also many medical staff could not help but sigh——
This is not taking responsibility for Bed 19 at all, it's clearly the rich man just throwing money around like crazy.
To put it bluntly, even if the patient in bed 19 had not become a vegetable and she could still make money, she could not give her daughter such a life.
One million in education funds?
If the patient in bed 19 was conscious, she would probably rather continue to be a vegetable.
Don’t say that you are willing to sacrifice your life for money. In reality, there are too many ordinary people who would exchange their lives for money, but they may not be able to get so much in return!
This time, even Xie Mingtang was a little hesitant——
He can endure the hardships by himself, go to school and work, but he really doesn't want his sister to go through the same thing.
Even as a mother, I probably hope that my sister doesn’t have to worry about money and can finish high school and get into college smoothly!
And if he rejected Gao Aojun for the sake of his integrity and dignity, his mother would probably blame him if she was conscious.
And my sister, although she can understand him, she may not be without complaints in her heart.
After his mother got into trouble, Xie Mingtang kept working in various occasions. He was no longer the stupid boy he used to be.
With a deeper understanding of human nature, he knows that even family members who depend on each other may turn against each other for money!
