Chapter 470 Arrival at the Hospital
Looking at Chu Yixue's actions, Zhong Nianyao's eyes flashed with surprise.
She hadn't expected that Chu Yixue could actually come up with so much money. The Chu family already knew that Chu Yixue was not the real second daughter, so how could they still give Chu Yixue so much money?
Soon, the shopping guide swiped the card and handed the receipt to Chu Yixue respectfully, "Miss, your bill has been paid. Thank you for your patronage and I wish you a happy life."
"Hmph!" Chu Yixue snorted coldly, took the card and receipt handed over by the shopping guide, took the brooch, and turned and left.
As soon as she stepped out of the jewelry store, Chu Yixue regretted it. Or rather, she had already regretted it when she was inside. But at that time, she was already in a difficult situation. If she couldn't pay the bill, she would be looked down upon by Zhong Nianyao.
Fortunately, she still had a credit card. It was one her parents had gotten her after she returned to the Chu family. They said it had a limit of one million yuan, allowing her to spend as she pleased. However, to maintain her sensible image, she had never used the card.
If she hadn't been forced to this point today, she really didn't plan to use this card.
Now she has used up a credit limit of 750,000 yuan in one go. She really needs to think carefully about what excuse to use when she returns.
Li Jingming was also very confused about Chu Yixue's decision to spend 750,000 yuan on a brooch, so when he spoke, he couldn't help but put on a hint of disapproval, "Why did you spend such a large sum of money just to get angry with Zhong Nianyao?"
Chu Yixue, who was already in a bad mood, turned around and glared at Li Jingming fiercely after hearing Li Jingming's pointed words. "How dare you say such sarcastic things here? Why didn't you say a word just now in the store?"
"As a grown man, it's not convenient for me to interfere in your girls' affairs."
For some reason, Li Jingming always felt that he was in the wrong, and quickly continued, "Besides, no one asked you to snatch that brooch with Zhong Nianyao!"
"Then what are you men supposed to do?" Chu Yixue sneered. "When you go shopping with your girlfriend, isn't it a man's job to pay the bill? Why didn't you do what a man should do when you were paying just now?"
These words left Li Jingming speechless, his face turning pale and red, and he stammered.
Looking at the cowardly Li Jingming, a trace of disdain flashed in Chu Yixue's eyes. Then she simply shook off Li Jingming's hand and continued walking forward on her own.
Li Jingming, whose face was dragged down, became even more dissatisfied with Chu Yixue. However, he also knew that he couldn't leave Chu Yixue now, so after a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and quickly caught up with her.
In the store -
After walking around, Zhong Nianyao found that there was nothing she particularly liked, so in the end she didn't buy anything and just pulled Lu Yichen away.
Although Zhong Nian Yao didn't buy anything, her concession just now allowed the matter to be resolved perfectly, and the store avoided a public relations crisis. Therefore, both the manager and the shopping guide were very grateful to her and accompanied her throughout the whole process without a trace of dissatisfaction.
Even when Zhong Nian Yao left, they gave her a small gift to express their apology and gratitude.
After leaving the jewelry store, Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Nianyao, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I saw that you really liked the brooch just now. Why did you give up?"
He didn't think that Zhong Nianyao was afraid of Chu Yixue.
"It's okay!" Zhong Nianyao took Lu Yichen's arm, smiled and shook her head, "I can't say I particularly like or dislike that brooch, I just find it pleasing to the eye. Since Chu Yixue wants it, let her have it. However, I'm quite curious how Chu Yixue could come up with such a large sum of money."
"Now that everyone in the Chu family knows she's a fake, how could they possibly be willing to provide her with such a large sum of money?"
"If you can't figure it out, then forget it." Lu Yichen reached out and ruffled Zhong Nianyao's hair. "Okay, now where do you want to go to continue shopping?"
Zhong Nianyao took out her phone, glanced at the time, and then spoke, "We've been walking around for quite a while, let's go to the hospital first! Two hours have already passed, and we already know whether he can be saved or not."
Lu Yichen didn't have any objection.
Soon, the two arrived at the Imperial Capital General Hospital together.
After asking around, Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen came to the intensive care unit. Outside the door, they saw everyone from the Zhong family already there.
Zhong Nianyao immediately saw Mr. Zhong sitting there. He looked a little tired, but overall, he was in good spirits.
As for Mrs. Zhong, she was not here. She probably had gone home.
The people from the eldest house were not there either.
Zhong Mingyu sat there with a dejected look on his face. There were still some lingering bloodstains on his clothes. His hair was messy and he had stubble. He looked particularly dejected.
Zhong Mengxuan was sitting next to Zhong Mingyu. Her eyes were red and there were tear marks on her cheeks. She could not hide the worry in her expression.
Watching this scene outside the intensive care unit, Zhong Nianyao could probably guess that Li Yiqiu's condition was not good. Otherwise, she wouldn't need to stay in the ICU any longer.
Zhong Mengxuan was the first person to see Zhong Nianyao coming. She immediately jumped up and rushed in front of Zhong Nianyao, her eyes red and fierce, "Zhong Nianyao, what are you doing here? You come here at this time, do you want to laugh at us?"
Facing Chu Mengxuan's unreasonable pointing, Zhong Nianyao stretched out her hand and slapped the hand that Chu Yixue was pointing at her. "Why can't I come over? This is a hospital, not your home. You have no right to control these things."
"You—" Zhong Mengxuan was furious, and then continued, "Zhong Nianyao, you really are a vicious woman. Just now, when my mother was on the verge of life and death in there, your phone was always unreachable. I ask you, did you do it on purpose? You just wanted to watch her die without helping her."
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Zhong Nianyao shook her head. "But I'm not a doctor. Even if I come here early, it won't be of any use!"
