Chapter 122: Don’t Waste Money
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Could it be that Lin Bai really knew how to predict?!
This thought could not be suppressed and quickly appeared in Ling Xuewei’s mind, gaining the upper hand.
All other guesses were defeated by this thought.
“Stop the car!”
Ling Xuewei shouted suddenly.
The driver, Little Li, was shocked. He hurriedly braked on the spot and asked carefully,
“President Ling, what’s wrong?”
He felt that Ling Xuewei was exceptionally abnormal today and was exceptionally difficult to please.
Ling Xuewei realized that she had lost her composure and covered it up awkwardly:
“It’s nothing. I just suddenly changed my mind. I don’t think the Second People’s Hospital is very good.”
“Let’s go to the Third people’s Hospital.”
The driver, Little Li, did not dare to say anything more. He immediately blinked the indicator to change the direction.
However, he could not help but mutter in his heart, ‘If she thinks the Second People’s Hospital is not good enough, does she think the Third People’s Hospital is good enough? It’s clearly not as good as the Second People’s Hospital.’
But he only dared to think about these words in his heart, not daring to say a single word in reality.
After all, he had just bought a house, and the pressure on him to repay his monthly morgage repayment was huge. He did not dare to lose his job at this time.
The homeless Wei Xinyue, who had been holding in her guilt all this while, finally could not hold it in any longer.
She held Ling Xuewei’s hand and said with tears in her eyes, “My dear daughter, I have let you down. I haven’t raised you for so many years, and I made you spend so much money the moment I came back. I know my illness. It has been more than 20 years, and there’s no way to treat it.”
“Why don’t we just forget about it? Don’t waste money. I actually just wanted to see you. Now that I’ve seen you and know that you’re doing well, I’m relieved.”
Ling Xuewei said, “Mom, what are you talking about? How can it be called a waste when I’m spending money on you? Don’t let your imagination run wild. Medical technology is so advanced these days. There’s nothing that can’t be cured. You just have to cooperate with the doctor. When your illness is cured, I still want to take you on a trip.”
Her mother had been wandering outside for so many years. She didn’t need to ask to know that she must have suffered a lot in this world.
Therefore, Ling Xuewei really wanted to make it up to her mother. She wanted to give her the best that she could.
However, the most important thing was to recuperate her mother’s body and mind so that she could recover to a healthy state.
Otherwise, the slightest disturbance might trigger her illness. How could she enjoy any delicacies?
Wei Xinyue actually understood Ling Xuewei’s thoughts, but she did not want to accept treatment
She said, “I know what I’m doing. This illness can’t be cured, so stop wasting time and money.”
“Ask the driver to stop the car.”
Ling Xuewei asked, “Mom, what are you doing?”
Wei Xinyue smiled and said, “Mom has her own place to go, so don’t bother about it. Go back to your company and work well.”
Ling Xuewei immediately understood that her mother intended to continue wandering and not drag her down.
“No! Absolutely not! You’re my mother, no matter what, you’re still my mother! It’s only right for me to give you as much money as I can. Don’t feel sorry for me, I have plenty of money!”
“Mother, it wasn’t easy for me to finally meet you again. Do you have the heart to abandon me so quickly? You’ve already abandoned me once back then. Do you still want to abandon me again?”
At the end of her sentence, Ling Xuewei’s eyes were filled with tears.
Wei Xinyue was also crying.
“I really had no choice back then!”
Ling Xuewei nodded with tears in her eyes. “Mom, I know. I understand. I have never blamed you. I only have one request. Can you not leave me again?”
Wei Xinyue nodded. “Sure, I promise you that I will never leave you again.”
“But you have to promise me one thing.”
Ling Xuewei wiped away her tears and nodded. “Mother, please tell me.”
Wei Xinyue said, “We’re not going to the hospital anymore. We’re not going to get me treated anymore. Don’t waste money. It’s meaningless.”
Ling Xuewei said, “Didn’t the doctor at Green Mountain Hospital say that as long as you continue to use the medicine in your condition, you will be able to control and get better. It’s obvious that it can be cured. Why would it be a waste of money?”
Wei Xinyue shook her head stubbornly.
“They said that just so that you could pay for my hospitalization. The hospitalization fees are so expensive. It costs tens of thousands of yuan a month. Are they trying to commit daylight robbery?!”
“Moreover, they have already charged such an expensive fee. Yet, they still can’t guarantee that it will be cured. Aren’t they just trying to scam you for a few months?”
“When the time comes, I will have been hospitalized and the money would have been spent. If they say that they still can’t cure me, what can you do? Won’t all the money go down the drain? I’m not going to get treatment anymore!”
Ling Xuewei knew that her mother’s heart still ached for the money.
She was very regretful now. If she had known earlier, she would have gone to see the doctor first and paid all the fees before letting her mother go to the hospital.
Now that her mother knew how expensive the hospital fees were, she could not do anything about it.
Ling Xuewei tried her best to persuade her, but Wei Xinyue remained stubborn and refused to be hospitalized.
She did not even want to see the Doctor anymore.
In her words, “We’ve already checked once. What’s the point of checking again? It’s a waste of money. We’re not going!”
Ling Xuewei could not persuade her. In the end, she had no choice but to cancel the plan to go to the Third People’s Hospital and ask the driver, Little Li, to send them home directly.
She really did not dare to push her mother too hard. Otherwise, her mother would secretly run away after entering the hospital, or she would simply run away while she was paying the bill.
The country was so big. If her mother deliberately avoided her, she was afraid that she would never be able to see her mother again.
Ling Xuewei could not even imagine the consequences of that.
Therefore, she could only temporarily comply with her mother’s wishes and bring her home to settle down first. She would not talk about the treatment for the time being.
After a period of time, when her mother was no longer so resistant, she would slowly bring her to the treatment.
Ling Xuewei calculated in this way and did not mention any words related to the treatment.
She only held her mother’s hand and chatted with her. She told her mother about her experiences over the past twenty years in detail.
Wei Xinyue also wanted to know how her daughter had been living with alcohol for the past twenty years after she left.
Therefore, she listened very carefully and forgot about the matter of wanting to leave.
In fact, she was also very reluctant to leave her daughter. Back then, she had no choice but to abandon the young Ling Xuewei.
Now that they had finally reacquainted, she did not want to be separated from her daughter anymore.
The mother and daughter chatted along the way and soon arrived at Ling Xuewei’s apartment building.
Although Ling Xuewei was already worth more than 100 million yuan, she had never had high requirements for her own food, clothing, and accommodation.
Therefore, she did not buy a luxury mansion or a villa. Instead, she bought an apartment unit near the company with a very good location and decor. She lived alone.
However, even though it was just an apartment, in Wei Xinyue’s eyes, it was already an unimaginable mansion.
“Little Xue, did you buy this house?”Wei Xinyue asked in disbelief.
Ling Xuewei nodded. “Yes. It’s a little small.. Let’s go pick out a bigger one in the next two days.”
