Before she knew it, Cheng Momo had been in the hospital for almost half a month. Her minor scrapes had healed quickly, but she never asked to leave. Because Yan Rui had personally brought her there, the hospital was very tolerant of her and provided her with the best possible treatment.
As the hospital director, Wuyou also made rounds to review cases. On this particular day, he happened to be visiting Cheng Momo's private room. As he flipped through the documents in his hand, the name Cheng Momo caught his eye.
Her fingers unconsciously tapped on the medical record. Wuyou asked the head nurse beside her in a calm tone, "This patient named Cheng Momo doesn't seem to have paid her hospitalization fees. Although our hospital does charity work, we always arrange for her to stay in a regular ward. Besides, she only has minor abrasions and no bigger problems. Why hasn't she been discharged after more than half a month?"
The head nurse paused for a moment, then quickly recovered and spoke in a measured tone. "Dean, this Miss Cheng Momo was sent by President Yan; she seems to be a friend of his."
Because he was Yan Rui's friend, out of affection for Yan Rui, they naturally wouldn't make him pay the hospital fees or urge him to be discharged.
“Our hospital’s primary responsibility is to treat patients. There’s no need to let irrelevant people waste medical resources. Since he’s already recovered, let him go home!”
Wuyou frowned slightly, glancing indifferently at the head nurse. Her tone was neither warm nor cold, but the head nurse still detected a hint of reprimand in her words. Someone who could be described as an unrelated person must have a shallow relationship, and judging from the dean's tone, he seemed to dislike Cheng Momo quite a bit.
The head nurse was also a shrewd person. She understood Wuyou's meaning as soon as she heard it, and nodded with a smile, "Dean, I understand. I will definitely not let anyone occupy medical resources and affect the recovery of other patients."
"Hmm! The head nurse really knows how to please me. You did a great job. I'll give you a bonus later." Wuyou nodded, patted the head nurse on the shoulder, and looked pleased.
Cheng Momo was unaware of Wuyou's underhanded actions. He was packing his suitcase in the hospital room, which was full of things that Fang Yuanyi had given him during their time together.
Fang Yuanyi is the young master of the Fang Group, where he now holds the position of general manager. He is the only son in his family and has a vast fortune, with assets exceeding one billion. He is handsome, charming, and very popular with girls. Cheng Momo was once Fang Yuanyi's secretary, and over time, the two developed feelings for each other and naturally became a couple.
But the prince and Cinderella story is destined to remain just a fairy tale. Cinderella married into a wealthy family because she was a princess to begin with. Cheng Momo's family background is good, but it can only be considered a middle-class family. Compared to Fang Yuanyi's abundant assets, they are not even a drop in the ocean.
The drama of the wealthy family is both novel and somewhat old-fashioned. The relationship between the two is discovered by Fang Yuanyi's mother, who classically throws out a million-dollar check, telling Cheng Momo to leave Fang Yuanyi.
Despite her seemingly obedient and docile appearance, Cheng Momo actually possesses a proud spirit deep down. Her childhood experiences have instilled in her a sense of superiority, always looking down on others, just as she did with Yan Rui back then.
The kindness shown to Yan Rui at the time was nothing more than a condescending act of charity. However, for Yan Rui, who had suffered greatly at that time, it was a rare ray of light in his life, something he could not bear to part with and for which he was willing to give his all.
Fang Yuanyi's mother's words were so sharp and unpleasant that even if Cheng Momo had been tempted at all, she was dissuaded by her harsh words.
What followed was a series of misunderstandings. Fang Yuanyi even wanted to get engaged to another wealthy heiress, something Cheng Momo couldn't tolerate. She could tolerate the humiliation from the other woman's mother, but she absolutely couldn't tolerate being someone's mistress, a lover who couldn't be seen in public. That would be truly shameful.
So he left Fang Yuanyi without hesitation, but he didn't expect to find out he was pregnant the next day.
This was his first child, his flesh and blood, an extension of his very being. Even without Fang Yuanyi, he could still raise the child. After all, the child was innocent.
The white hospital bed was piled high with jewelry and clothing, each piece incredibly valuable—gifts from Fang Yuanyi. Seeing the bed laden with these luxuries, Cheng Momo bit her lip, her heart filled with reluctance. But there was nothing she could do; she was pregnant and needed to supplement her nutrition to save money for baby formula.
It's okay, this is only temporary. Once I give birth, find a job, and earn more money to buy more luxury goods, these things won't matter. Cheng Momo could only comfort herself with these words, but unfortunately, it still felt like she was being tightly gripped by two hands, and the pain was unbearable.
Just then, the door to the ward was knocked open, and the head nurse, dressed in a white fitted nurse's uniform, stood in the doorway with a professional, fake smile on her face. Her eyes fell on the luxurious items on the bed, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
Cheng Momo subconsciously reached out and pulled back the blanket to cover herself, then smiled at the head nurse with a puzzled look, as if nothing had happened. "Head Nurse, is there anything I can do for you? I'm doing well lately, so I don't need to trouble you."
It has to be said that the medical level of this hospital is really good, and the service attitude is also first-class. He had heard Fang Yuanyi praise this hospital before. It is said that it has a wide network of connections, and many people in the upper class like to see a doctor and get medicine here.
He never expected that Yan Rui, who back then didn't even have decent clothes, was bullied by classmates, abandoned by his mother, and beaten by his father, would actually be able to send him to this hospital. You should know that this hospital is very expensive, and ordinary people wouldn't dare to come here.
"Miss Cheng Momo, now that you're cured, it's time for you to leave the hospital. Also, you should pay back the medical bills you owe us." The head nurse spoke gently, her gaze calm as she looked at Cheng Momo, but Cheng Momo felt inexplicably ashamed.
He was indeed deliberately unwilling to leave the hospital. He was currently homeless and did not want anyone else to find him. The conditions here were excellent, and the hospital took good care of him without charging him any money, so naturally he was reluctant to leave.
"Hehe, the head nurse must be joking. Didn't Yan Rui already pay the hospital fees?" Judging from Yan Rui's appearance in a suit and driving a luxury car, he shouldn't be poor. How could he not have paid the medical fees? He had insisted on paying for her before, even though she had declined.
The head nurse's disdain deepened upon hearing this. Wasn't this a blatant attempt to get someone to pay for her services? He despised women who relied solely on men, acting as if they couldn't live without them—they were a disgrace to women.
It is precisely because of women like this that those scoundrels think that women can't live without them and have to revolve around them, which gives rise to those ridiculous ideas. I really don't know where they got the courage and confidence.
“Mr. Yan did pay your medical and hospital fees, but he only paid for one week. After all, Ms. Cheng’s injuries could have been healed in a week, but you stayed here for more than a week.”
It was just a minor scratch, nothing serious, but she stayed in the hospital for over half a month. I wonder which family raised such a pampered young lady with such delicate skin.
