Cheng Chiyan was silent. His parents' education made it impossible for him to lie.
"Chi Yan, you have to know that your grandmother's illness is a huge favor. If someone uses this to ask you to repay the favor in the future, you won't be able to repay it even if you give everything you have, do you understand?"
Father Cheng looked at his son. He didn't know what he had exchanged, but he knew it must not be as simple as his son said.
Cheng Chiyan's lips moved slightly: "I...I know, but Dad, you believe me, I..."
"What do you think? I believe that as an adult you have your own judgment and you don't need to explain it to me. But they have helped us so much, we should treat them to a meal, what do you think?"
Cheng's father interrupted Cheng Chiyan's explanation. He was not angry because he acted first and reported later. His tone was gentle but his eyes were unquestionable.
Cheng Chiyan thought about Lan Xi's difficult-to-please appearance and nodded reluctantly: "I'll ask her first, she may not agree!"
Father Cheng patted his son's shoulder and stood up: "Go home! It will be time for grandma to take a nap soon!"
Standing at the window, the attending physician watched the entire conversation. After watching them leave, he took a sip of water and said, "They really look alike!"
After Cheng's father told Cheng's mother about this matter, Cheng's mother felt a little sad. She believed that it was the adults' incompetence that put her son in such a situation.
To be honest, my mother-in-law's illness can only be delayed. Neither conservative treatment nor surgery can cure it.
She heard from the nurses that the medical equipment here were all the most advanced machines imported from abroad, and the attending physician who treated her mother-in-law was a doctor of medicine in this field and a famous surgeon, who was brought back from abroad by the Shi Group at a high price.
How could the surgery be cheap for someone with such a title? But when she asked about the cost, the nurse said that her mother-in-law's surgery had already been paid for!
After taking the medicine, the mother-in-law fell into a deep sleep. Cheng's mother looked at her son and couldn't help asking, "Your friend has done so much, what exactly does he need you to do?"
Cheng Chiyan looked at his mother with some embarrassment and never explained.
"It's not something illegal!"
Cheng's mother was really scared. She had calculated that the daily cost of an independent ward like this hospital and a doctor like this would be hundreds of thousands of yuan, and her mother-in-law would have to stay here for a long time.
She couldn't believe what kind of relationship could allow someone to be so generous...
Cheng Chiyan walked up to his mother and squatted down, reaching out to hold her hand and looking at her worried eyes:
"Mom! You don't trust others, but you trust me too? If it's illegal, I won't agree to it, so don't worry, it's okay!"
After hearing what her son said, Cheng's mother was still worried. She held her son's hand tightly and stared at him closely:
"You must not do those things, or I will send you to jail myself!"
Cheng Chiyan looked at his mother with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Okay! You believe me!"
"Hurry up and invite them out for dinner. We're taking advantage of them, we should thank them profusely!"
Mother Cheng turned her head and looked at her mother-in-law and said seriously.
After leaving the ward, Cheng Chiyan sent a message to Lan Xi, saying that he wanted to talk over the phone about something.
After a while, Lan Xi called: "What's the matter?"
When Cheng Chiyan thought of her disgusted face, he felt that there was no way she would agree to this!
"My parents want to thank you in person and treat you to a meal!"
When Lan Xi received the message, she was about to go out. After getting on the elevator, she called Cheng Chiyan. When she heard his words, she sneered:
"Cheng Chiyan! Do I look like someone with a lot of free time to you? If the Lan family had to accept thanks every time they did charity, then they would have nothing else to do all year round!"
Sure enough, Lan Xi's rejection was sharp, and Cheng Chiyan was right in his expectations: "But..."
"How to make them accept this is your business, not mine! Don't tell me about this kind of thing in the future, it's a waste of time!"
Lan Xi interrupted Cheng Chiyan's subsequent words. As long as the goal was achieved, she was too lazy to worry about the follow-up matters.
Cheng Chiyan was about to speak when Lan Xi hung up the phone.
He frowned, and his impression of Lan Xi became worse and worse!
Rude! The third one discovered.
Just as she got in the car, Lan Xi's phone rang again:
"Ms. Lan, can I tell them that you're helping us? My parents are worried that I might be doing something illegal!"
Lan Xi got in the car, grabbed the seatbelt, and tossed the phone to Zhu Lingling: "Just wait and see. You'll pick him up next time!"
Zhu Lingling picked up the phone on her lap, fastened her seatbelt, looked at the message, and typed a reply:
【Whatever you want! 】
[Are you a mama's boy? Don't you know you can't do anything illegal? What can you prove?]
After replying, she recommended Cheng Chiyan to herself, picked up her phone, and added a friend: Lan Xi's assistant Zhu Lingling!
Lan Xi drove to the village in the city and looked at the snow that had not been cleared away. Disdain appeared on her face. "Drive the car away, I'll go in by myself. I'll message you if there's anything!"
Zhu Lingling nodded in agreement and moved from the passenger seat to the driver's seat.
Lan Xi got out of the car without even taking her bag. Fortunately, she was not wearing a skirt today, her hair was tied up casually, and she didn't have any jewelry on her body, but her noble aura still made passers-by turn their heads.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, more and more people started to arrive in the urban village. Lan Xi looked at the navigation on her phone and walked inside. At a fork in the road, she saw the store she was looking for!
It was very clean, almost spotless. When Lan Xi walked in, there was no one in the store.
