Chapter 38 Is he hard to coax? It must be because I didn't try hard enough!
Zhou Chong ran back to the ward in one breath.
The doctor and nurses were just coming to check on the patients, and the ward was full. Zhou Chong arrived at the right time and took on the role of translator. After the doctor left, Zhou Chong wanted to talk to Shan Qingshan, but Shan Qingshan's phone rang, so he went out to answer it.
Zhou Chong quickly followed him out and stood in the corridor, keeping a distance, waiting for him to finish his call.
This phone call lasted a bit long.
Zhou Chong then considered whether he should kneel down before him.
As soon as the call ended, Zhou Chong rushed forward, "Qingshan Xiaobao, I..."
"Shanqing Mountain! Look! It really is there!"
Zhou Shuo ran towards Shanqing Mountain, holding a candied hawthorn.
Before Zhou Chong returned to his ward, You Liang and Zhou Shuo went to the hospital cafeteria and asked the chef to make them strawberry candied hawthorns.
Shan Qingshan walked toward Zhou Shuo, completely ignoring Zhou Chong.
It's obvious that Qingshan Xiaobao is very angry.
Although Zhou Chong meant well for Shan Qingshan, a lie is a lie.
His mistake.
Zhou Shuo held the candied hawthorn high in his hand. "I know you don't want things that are too expensive. This isn't expensive, but it's sweet. I'll give it to you."
Shan Qingshan squatted down and took it.
"Thank you."
You Liang held two bottles of calcium tablets in his hand. "I'm giving these to Grandma. She can take them after she's discharged from the hospital. They'll be perfect. I'll take them inside for her."
"Thanks."
Zhou Chong looked at the two of them with confusion, wondering but not wanting to speculate or be jealous of them. He just wanted to kick one of them away.
He desperately needs to appease Shan Qingshan.
Zhou Chong stepped forward and said, "Qingshan Xiaobao, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you."
Dan Qingshan stood up, his expression seemingly no different from usual. But Zhou Chong, who had been with him for three years in his previous life, knew that this was an expression of anger.
Zhou Shuo sensed something was off and his eyes darted back and forth between the two men.
"How much exactly?"
Zhou Chong honestly confessed, "Four thousand nine hundred and eight."
"...You gave me a fraction of the original amount?"
Shan Qingshan's voice was distant, cold, something Zhou Chong hadn't heard in days.
Zhou Chong felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy, and quickly pressed the pot down on his head, fearing that his attitude of admitting his mistake was not sincere enough.
"Fifty million is far too much."
"You think I can't pay it back?"
Zhou Chong: "No, I just didn't want to see you working so hard." I couldn't bear to see you suffer like that.
Shan Qingshan looked at Zhou Chong and listened quietly to what he had to say.
Zhou Chong: "You are fully capable of earning that much money, but I don't need you to give it to me."
Shan Qingshan: "Even between brothers, accounts must be settled clearly. No matter how much it is, I will pay it back. I understand your good intentions, but you shouldn't have lied to me. Seven hundred thousand... I've doubted the salary level of medical staff in our country, and I've doubted my own limited knowledge, but I've never doubted you."
Shan Qingshan paused here.
I was a bit naive to have been fooled like that.
"Zhou Chong, I trusted you so much."
Zhou Chong's reaction speed surpasses that of 99% of users worldwide.
The corners of his mouth twitched up briefly, but then quickly fell back down.
I felt happy, anxious, and guilty all at the same time.
Qingshan Xiaobao believed him, which was definitely something to be happy about. It was just a pity that he found out under these circumstances; he wished he could hug him tightly, kiss him, and apologize all at the same time.
Zhou Chong immediately raised his hand and swore, "There will absolutely be no next time! The man in front of you has deeply realized his mistake! If you don't believe me, I'll write you a letter of apology!"
"Okay, you write it."
"I'll go right now!"
Zhou Chong immediately returned to the ward and found paper and pen.
Young Master Zhou, who never wrote a self-criticism when he broke school rules, is now earnestly reflecting on his mistakes while lying on the table, just to make his wife smile.
You Liang rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things.
He walked to the table and said, "No matter who you are, get off my brother right now."
"You're blocking the light, move aside."
You Liang glanced at the already begun self-criticism and asked, "Brother, what mistake did you make?"
Zhou Chong kept his words brief, lowering his voice, not wanting his grandmother to know.
"Xiao Bao found out about the surgery cost."
You Liang: "..."
Then you are not wronged.
Shan Qingshan brought Zhou Shuo in.
He didn't believe that a young master like Zhou Chong would actually go and write a self-criticism. In that situation, it was just something he said casually to coax Shan Qingshan, and he didn't expect him to actually lie there.
Grandma asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Chong casually said, "Grandma, I just remembered I have some homework."
Shan Qingshan walked up to him, saw the three-line self-criticism already written, and said, "Actually, it's not necessary..."
"want."
Zhou Chong raised his head.
He knew that Qingshan Xiaobao was used to being independent and would keep many things to himself. If he didn't resolve them, they would stay unresolved for a long time. Even if he seemed fine on the surface, he was actually keeping everything bottled up inside.
"I will never lie to you again."
Dan Qingshan was clearly stunned by his words, and his blank expression was quite adorable.
Zhou Chong felt an itch in his heart and hands, wishing he could touch it right now. He could only quickly shift his attention and finish writing the self-criticism.
He was so eager to reconcile that he couldn't wait a moment after finishing writing it and showed it to Shan Qingshan.
Zhou Chong's handwriting is impeccable; this self-criticism looks almost like a model essay at first glance.
Dan Qingshan folded it up and put it aside without saying a word. He glanced at the IV drip, then got up to press the call button.
This short time was clearly not enough for Shan Qingshan to finish reading, and Zhou Chong's heart skipped a beat.
Is that still not enough?
You Liang leaned closer and whispered, "Brother, is your letter of self-criticism not good enough?"
Zhou Chong didn't know either.
In all honesty, to whom did Zhou Chong ever write a self-criticism?
He has no experience in this area.
"Should we rewrite it?"
You Liang looked at Shan Qingshan, who was bending down to tuck the blanket around his grandmother, moving very quietly so as not to wake her who had just fallen asleep.
Although her face was expressionless, she looked particularly gentle, with a touch of wifely charm, which softened her usual aloofness and made her even more beautiful.
"Given her looks, she's hard to coax, but we still have to coax her."
Zhou Chong glanced at him.
"Is he hard to coax? It must be because I didn't try hard enough!"
You Liang: "..."
You are capable of self-pity.
Zhou Chong sat back down at the table, and just as he picked up his pen, his hand was pressed down.
Zhou Chong looked up and saw Shan Qingshan standing in front of him.
"Reach out your hand."
He obediently reached out his hand.
Shan Qingshan placed a coin in his palm. "Here's your money back. I'll transfer the rest directly to your uncle. Don't lie to me anymore."
