Chapter 48: Who Do You Like More?
A group of people got into the car and headed towards the Tianhui Clinic.
About twenty minutes later, they arrived at the entrance of the clinic. Although it was called a clinic, looking through the gate, one could see a series of luxurious buildings. The scale was several times more impressive than that of a large hospital.
Upon entering the clinic, a young nurse immediately came to greet them warmly. After the nurse led them inside, a doctor came over right away. There was no need to wait at all.
During the journey, Wang Haoran had already informed them of the general situation. After several internationally renowned doctors understood Xu Zheng’s condition, they immediately took him for an examination.
Xu Muyan, Lawyer An, and Wang Haoran waited in a private VIP lounge. The lounge had soft, luxurious sofas, a TV, a computer, and some entertainment facilities to pass the time. The nurse who received them also softly asked the three of them what kind of tea or drinks they would like. The service was very attentive.
However, Xu Muyan and Lawyer An were too anxious to appreciate it. The two waited tensely for about ten minutes before a doctor who had taken Xu Zheng for an examination came over. The doctor was holding a CT scan.
The CT scan showed a needle-like metal object in Xu Zheng’s lower abdomen. This was the culprit causing Xu Zheng’s pain. Xu Muyan and Lawyer An were shocked and terrified at the sight.
The doctor said, “This metal object has already started to shift, which could cause fatal damage to the body’s organs. Fortunately, you came in time. If you had been a day late, who knows what might have happened. We doctors have discussed it and suggest immediate surgery, so we’re here to consult with the two family members.”
“Surgery, the sooner the better,” Xu Muyan blurted out, too worried about her father.
Lawyer An had the same thought, but she considered one more thing than her daughter: “Doctor, may I ask how much the medical expenses will be?”
Xu Muyan was momentarily stunned upon hearing this. She was still a student and had no concept of money. Hearing her mother ask this, she couldn’t help but feel a bit tense. She had already learned that the expenses here were frighteningly high.
The doctor was about to answer, but Wang Haoran spoke first: “Aunt An, Xu Muyan, you don’t have to worry about the medical expenses. My family has a yearly card here. During the card’s validity period, any medical and examination fees at the hospital are completely free, so Uncle Xu doesn’t need to pay.”
The cost of this yearly card is several million a year. Although it seems free, in reality, the fees have already been paid. If one doesn’t get sick throughout the year, just having regular check-ups, the clinic makes a big profit. Of course, the wealthy who get the yearly card don’t feel like they’re losing out, as they have their health and aren’t short on money. If there’s a serious illness or emergency, the yearly card becomes extremely useful. With just one phone call, once the person is sent to the clinic, there’s no need to wait, and doctors will come for a consultation. If there’s an emergency and they can’t come, the clinic has two helicopters on the rooftop.
This yearly card is essentially an insurance policy that the wealthy buy for themselves.
“Is that so? But I should at least know how much it is. I need to pay you,” Lawyer An said.
“Aunt An, the yearly card covers five people, and my family only has three, so there are two spots left. They were wasted before, but now Uncle Xu can use one,” Wang Haoran said. “So, you really don’t need to pay me!”
“In that case, thank you, Haoran,” Lawyer An agreed straightforwardly, without further hesitation. However, she firmly remembered this favor in her heart.
“Thank you,” Xu Muyan said sincerely, looking into Wang Haoran’s eyes.
“Come on, what kind of relationship do we have? You’re still thanking me?” Wang Haoran smiled at Xu Muyan. His smile was bright and, paired with his charming eyes and handsome face, few girls could resist.
Xu Muyan felt sweetness in her heart as she heard this. She held Wang Haoran’s gaze for a few seconds before quickly looking away with a blush.
[Ding, the heroine Xu Muyan’s favorability towards the host has increased by 10, current total favorability 70 (deep affection)]
[Ding, the host has greatly influenced the plot direction, gaining 800 villain points, Chu Bai’s protagonist halo -30, host’s villain halo +30!]
Receiving the system’s notification, Wang Haoran was secretly overjoyed. Gaining 800 villain points and 30 villain halo points at once was a super luxurious reward. More importantly, Xu Muyan’s favorability had made a qualitative leap. Deep affection. At this level, even if Wang Haoran did something slightly excessive, Xu Muyan wouldn’t change her feelings for him.
Nearby, Lawyer An noticed her daughter’s reaction and was momentarily stunned. Her daughter’s gaze was clearly unusual. And Wang Haoran’s words, “Come on, what kind of relationship do we have? You’re still thanking me?” were even more suggestive. The key was that her daughter didn’t say anything to refute it.
Could it be…
Lawyer An had a suspicion, but she quickly let it go. Her daughter wasn’t a child anymore. Young people’s matters should be handled by young people themselves. Moreover, the most important thing was that Wang Haoran was indeed excellent. Her daughter being with such an outstanding young man was a blessing. After all, from the perspective of both families, her daughter was marrying up.
“I’ll go check on your father,” Lawyer An said, not wanting to be a third wheel, and left with the doctor.
Soon, only Wang Haoran and Xu Muyan were left in the lounge.
“What nonsense were you talking about, making my mom misunderstand,” Xu Muyan glanced at Wang Haoran, slightly pouting.
“I didn’t say anything. I just meant that since we’ve been classmates for so long, you don’t need to thank me for such a small favor,” Wang Haoran feigned innocence.
Hearing this, a trace of disappointment appeared on Xu Muyan’s face. So, he only sees me as a classmate…
Not wanting Wang Haoran to notice, Xu Muyan quickly controlled her emotions and forced a smile, saying, “Hey, didn’t you say you liked the school beauty from another class? Do you like Qin Yunhan or Mu Zhaozhao?”
This question seemed half-joking, but in reality, she had wanted to ask for a long time. She just hadn’t found the right opportunity.
Qin Yunhan and Mu Zhaozhao were the names of the other two school beauties. Although Xu Muyan wasn’t familiar with them, she knew of them and had seen them many times. However, she had never interacted with them.
Wang Haoran recalled the appearance of the school beauties in his memory and couldn’t help but comment: “Qin Yunhan has an outstanding appearance and great temperament, taller, but she’s a bit flat in the front.”
“Mu Zhaozhao has a baby face, very cute, and her figure is explosive. The curves are too exaggerated, but she’s shorter than Qin Yunhan.”
He thought for a moment, showing a difficult expression, “Both have their own merits. If I were to pursue one, it would be hard to choose.”
