"You won't . The director made his own decision regarding this case . I've called you to tell you to relax and to not think too much . "
"Thanks, Head Nurse . "
"Oh right, has my cousin called you yet? He asked me for your number last night in a rush . I already told him that you have a boyfriend, but he doesn't seem to care . "
"Uhm… he called," Huo Mian admitted .
"Then just treat him like a normal friend, it's rare for that kid to like someone . He has always been arrogant and prideful in the past," the head nurse sighed .
"Okay . "
Huo Mian's mood grew more complicated after she hung up .
It was expected that the negotiations between the director and the patient's family would end badly .
The family's goal was very clear, as they asked for millions right away .
The hospital didn't make that many mistakes, so they would never agree to pay that much .
Most importantly, the surgery Huo Mian performed on the pregnant patient was perfect . Even the top gynecologist in China wouldn't consider it to be a medical incident and there was no way the patient would suffer from side effects .
However, the patient kept saying that she had a headache, suggesting that the entire thing was completely intentional .
Sometimes, trying to reason with unreasonable people was truly exhausting .
"Huo Mian . "
Huo Mian turned around when she heard someone call her . "Chief Han . "
"The director just called . He wants to tell you and Huang Yue to avoid the patient's family members . Take a few days off and come back to work after the chaos dies down . "
"Okay . " Huo Mian nodded .
Then, Huo Mian and Huang Yue began gathering their things . . .
Cursing sounds were heard from not so far away as if the patient's family members had gotten into an argument again with hospital security .
They even called the police, forcing Huo Mian and Huang Yue to leave the hospital through the back door .
Huo Mian didn't go home . Instead, she went to Zhixin's school to look for him .
It just happened to be noon, and Huo Mian was in the campus cafeteria with Jing Zhixin . They found a less crowded place to sit down .
"Sis, don't you have to go to work today?" Jing Zhixin was quite happy to see his older sister .
"We're not so busy lately, so I've been given a few days off . "
"That's great . " Jing Zhixin never doubted his sister's words .
Huo Mian felt much better upon seeing her brother's innocent smile .
"It's mom's birthday tomorrow, so you can come over earlier . Why don't you come and stay over at home tonight?"
Huo Mian shook her head, "No, mom wouldn't like it if I went back . "
"That's not true . Mom really misses you, she just won't admit it . She acts like she doesn't care, but she really does . For example, yesterday I told her that you were coming back for her birthday . She didn't say anything, but she looked quite happy . "
Huo Mian smiled and didn't respond .
"Hey Sis, I have an idea . "
"What's that?"
"I want to rent a spot inside our school with my classmate to sell bubble tea . The bubble tea shop on campus is disgusting and pricey, so students would rather go elsewhere to buy it, but it's very inconvenient . The other shops are far away and going there wastes time . I think that I could sell tasty and inexpensive bubble tea here and earn some money . Then, I'll earn myself next year's tuition . I don't want you to work so hard to pay for my education anymore," Jing Zhixin said everything with one breath .
Huo Mian felt tears welling up inside her . . .
"Zhixin, I'm fine, I'm not short on money right now so don't worry about me . You're still a student; don't open a bubble tea shop . Just focus on studying . I have plans to send you abroad in your senior year . "
"Huh, no thanks, studying abroad is too expensive . You and mom have worked so hard to support me for all these years . I'm a man, and I want to work and provide for our family after graduation . I refuse to burden you guys . "
"You won't, anyway… don't worry about money . I'll take care of it . "
"Mom's birthday is tomorrow, have you decided what you're going to buy her?" asked Jing Zhixin excitedly .
"I haven't, have you?"
"I used the allowance you gave me to pick out a pair of leather shoes for mom . Here, take a look, what do you think? Does it look fashionable enough?" Jing Zhixin turned on his phone, opened up to some webpage, and showed the shoes to his sister .
"Not bad and only 300 yuan . Mom will definitely like them . "
"Yup, I think so too . If you don't know what to buy, just get her a birthday cake," Jing Zhixin suggested .
Huo Mian nodded . "Okay, I'll figure something out . "
Huo Mian received a special call on her way home as she left her brother's school .
The woman on the other end sounded serious yet graceful, "Huo Mian, I'm Jiang Hong . Can I meet with you?"
Jiang Hong? She was the wife of her cold-hearted birth father and the daughter of C City's Jiang family .
