Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 216 Lang Ruoxian and Other Woman

After everything is settled, Yan Hua goes to the hospital. After all, it is only an ignorant child but suffers so much. When leaving, she unconsciously overhears some young nurses complain.

“Your patient of Bed 8 hasn’t come back yet?”

“No, I think she will not come back.” Another fat nurse sighs. “She’s only 10 years old. The doctor says that she is in good condition. She can completely recover as long as she has the right bone marrow.”

“Her family have crowd funded, haven’t they? I have heard that there are hundreds of thousands yuan donated!” Another nurse says, “She has been matched with the right bone marrow but does not have enough money for surgery, hasn’t she?”

The fat nurse shakes her head angrily, “No, she hasn’t been matched with the right bone marrow yet, but a company has promised her family that they will be responsible for the operation expenses if the matching is successful.”

“Then why did she get out of the hospital?”

“Who knows! I think there is something wrong with the little girl’s mother. A few days before she was discharged from hospital, she also asked our head nurse if the little girl could go home under this situation. The head nurse said no at that time, because some drugs could not be stopped, but she took her daughter away within two days.”

“She also lied to us that the old man in the family was not convenient to come to the hospital so she wanted to take the child to go back to stay for two days. The doctor also kindly prescribed the medicine for two days. But they never came back.”

The young nurse rattles on and Yan Hua hears most of situation. She doesn’t know why, but she remembers the mother and daughter she met in the elevator that day.

She remembers the matter to heart again and asks Lang Ruoxian in the evening if he has found anything. Lang Ruoxian gives her a look. “I thought you said it casually, but you still remember it.”

“I’m not that humanitarian. I really forget it.” Yan Hua applies a facial mask. “I remembered it when I heard a nurse say it today. I think they are the mother and daughter I met that day. Didn’t you check it?”

Lang Ruoxian hugs her from behind. “I remember everything you said. Of course I did.”

The situation is the same as what the nurses said. The little girl is named Liu Meimei whose family really doesn’t want to give her treatment, and there is a lot of money left over from the donation. It is said that the money will be used to buy a house for her brother to marry.

“If you search on micro blog, it seems that independent media have already paid attention to this matter.”

Yan Hua searches it, and there is indeed the news and a lot of forwarding. There is also a video of interview of the little girl’s mother, in which the woman was very arrogant to say that the money given to their family was theirs, and how they use the money is nobody else’s business.

Netizens are all scolding below, and at this time, their values are quite correct.

“Ignorance.” Yan Hua pulls down and sees that the crowdfunding platform is also involved, and has already applied to the court for a case, requiring the little girl’s family to return the donation.

Yan Hua puts down her mobile phone. “If the money is returned, the child still cannot go back to the hospital for treatment.”

“Do you want to help her?” Lang Ruoxian thinks. “In fact, you can move your foundation to Yanjing.”

Yan Hua shakes her head. “I thought about it before and asked my mother. But she didn’t suggest me doing this.”

Bai Susu told her that there are many foundations like that in Yanjing, most of which are run by enterprises or celebrities, most of whom are rich and wealthy ladies.

“You can find a reliable one to join, but it is not necessary to do it yourself.” Bai Susu says, “This is Yanjing. There are too many things involved, especially your uncle is in this position. The more is done by our family, the easier it will be for others to have something on us.”

Yan Hua understands it and Lang Ruoxian naturally understands it, too.

“Let’s observe it first. Maybe someone will help her soon.” Lang Ruoxian looks at his watch and holds her to bed. “All right, sleep.”

Liu Meimei’s event is getting worse and worse on the Internet. Netizens have already used cyber manhunt to find her home. Someone sends a message, saying that Liu Meimei’s brother was expelled from the company because of this, and his girlfriend also broke up with him.

The police also went to their house to recover the rest of the donation. Now Liu Meimei’s family has been quarrelling harshly.

“You stupid woman. I told you not be so obvious, but you didn’t listen to me. Now is it OK?”

Liu Meimei’s father is a pedicab driver. These days his colleagues have been judging him and he has lost his face.

“How do I know the money can be returned?” Liu Meimei’s mother opened a small sewing shop at home before. There were many surrounding communities so the business was good, but no one has come recently.

There is not much room in the house, with two rooms, one hall and four people. The storage room is Liu Meimei’s bedroom. There are only one bed and a broken desk in less than 10 square meters. She is lying in bed, listening to the quarrel between her parents outside. She looks helplessly at the certificates of merit on the wall. She feels that she probably has no chance to go back to school...

“Stop arguing!” Another voice joins, which is her brother who lost his job.

“Damn, now I have no job. My girlfriend also broke up with me. Mom, you just make trouble out of nothing!”

A chaos, chairs fall to the ground and make a loud noise, and the door is banged twice, then everything slowly quiets down.

Bang! After a brief silence, the door is kicked in fiercely. Liu Meimei’s mother rushes in and hits Liu Meimei on the back with several punches. She also scolds, “It’s all your fault! It should all blame you, a money-losing girl. You have made us in trouble!”

Liu Meimei is choking in her chest, and she opens her mouth to breathe hard. Liu Meimei’s mother is frightened at the sight and quickly supports her. “Meimei, don’t frighten mom. Mom just said casually, don’t frighten mom...”

On Thursday afternoon, a micro blog user named Little Sparrow sends a post.

#That’s too much. Liu Meimei returns to the hospital this afternoon. She is sent back by ambulance. The doctor says she has been severely beaten. It must be her mother, who is not a human being!#

There is also a photo below. The little girl is lying on the sickbed with a breathing mask.

A few minutes later, the micro blog post is deleted, but it has been forwarded tens of thousands of times and has become a trending topic.

“Fang Yan’s foundation has sent people to the hospital and they are expected to pay for the operation on the little girl.” Bai Susu also reads the report, sighing, “The Internet said that her mother beat her. If it were true, her mother would be too cruel.”

Yan Hua reacts for a moment before figuring out. Fang Yan is Bai Jingzhu’s mother.

“Although society is so developed now, there are still many people who favor boys over girls.” Chang Pei’e also joins the topic. “And so do many people with high incomes and high degrees, who cannot change their old ideas.”

It is rare for Tang Cao to stay at home today. Hearing the words of the three women, Tang Cao says with a wronged expression. “So is our family! Our family values women over men.”

“If you are as good as your elder sister, I’ll take you seriously.” Bai Susu glances at him. “Besides, don’t say I didn’t remind you. Your pocket money this month has exceeded the standard. The cards will be frozen from tomorrow.”

Tang Cao gets up in panic. “So soon? I didn’t buy anything.”

“Then ask yourself.” Bai Susu ignores him and says to Yan Hua. “Don’t give money to him!”

Yan Hua nods smilingly, but the next day she sees Chang Pei’e secretly give Tang Cao money. When Tang Cao secretly slips out like a thief, Yan Hua just hugs Chang Pei’e to make coquetry.

“Grandma, why did you give him money!”

Chang Pei’e looks guilty. “Don’t let your mother know it.”

“Are you also afraid of my mother?”

“Yes. Who in our family is not afraid of her?”

It is half a month after the news of Liu Meimei reappears online. She returns to the hospital and has found a suitable bone marrow for surgery. A foundation will bear all the expenses, which must be Fang Yan’s foundation.

“She finally has a good result.” Yan Hua reads more related news. “A reporter went to the school to interview. The little girl studied very well and had been the first in every exam.”

Lang Ruoxian lies in bed waiting for her to say for a long time. Finally, he cannot stand but to pull back the quilt.

“You... Why are you naked?” Yan Hua is shocked. He usually wears pajamas at ordinary times.

“I have to take it off after wearing it, troublesome.” Lang Ruoxian holds her up and puts her on the bed. “You can’t really get up tomorrow if you keep talking about it.”

Yan Hua is covered by him, leaving only the voice of yum-yum.

After May Day, the weather warms up. This day Yan Hua receives a phone call from Fang Diandian, who invites her to dinner. When Yan Hua goes out, she sees Gungun playing games with Wuyou. Wuyou is much heavier than when she first came back. Finally, her little face has gained more meat, but she looks a little pale.

Yan Hua hopes to keep Wuyou chubby and ruddy before the start of school, so that she can look like a healthy and extremely happy child.

“Sister Duo!” As soon as she enters the restaurant, Fang Diandian who sits by the window waves at her fiercely.

Yan Hua walks over and sits down. “Are you on holiday?”

“Yes!” Fang Diandian pours tea for her. “This is Tujia cuisine. Are you used to it?”

“I am OK. I am not particular about food.” Yan Hua looks around. There are many guests and the environment is fine.

Fang Diandian is somewhat embarrassed. “Or shall we go to the restaurant of the hotel?”

“It is very good!” Yan Hua smiles. “Don’t be so polite.”

“You should have been invited to dinner a long time ago.” Fang Diandian says, “Last time you helped my family a lot. I didn’t even thank you!”

Yan Hua opens the menu. “You thanked me several times on the phone. Let’s order dishes.”

When the dishes are all served, Fang Diandian lies prone on the table and whispers, “Sister Duo, there is something I thinks over and decides to tell you.”

“What’s so mysterious?” Yan Hua is amused by her. “Go ahead!”

Fang Diandian speaks with hesitation, and it takes her a long time to make it clear.

“I saw Mr. Lang at the school gate. He came to pick up our new professor, who is a woman and very beautiful. It seemed that two people were very familiar with...”

Yan Hua is speechless.

She recalls that one afternoon last week Lang Ruoxian said he was going to send something to Qiang Di. In the middle, he made a call to say that he would send Qiang Di home because it suddenly rained. Yan Hua felt it very normal and Shu Sheng followed.

“Is your professor called Qiang Di?” She asks.

Fang Diandian looks frightened. “You... You know her? That... She really and Mr. Lang...”

“She is a sister of Mr. Lang’s good friend.” Yan Hua thinks and says, “I know her, too.”

“Then be more careful.” Fang Diandian looks serious. “Brother and sister are most likely to have affairs.”

Yan Hua smiles, “Thank you for reminding me. In fact, she seldom meets us at ordinary times.”

Just then, the phone rings, and it is Lang Ruoxian.

“Hello!”

“Hua, Qiang Di called me to ask to have dinner together.”

Yan Hua feels that being proven wrong always comes so fast.
