1459 We Will Pay for the Medical Expenses
“It’s a fact that I don’t have any medicine left, but I know someone who definitely has some. I just don’t know if that person is willing to give it to you,” Qiao Mei said with a sly smile.
Xia Wen immediately guessed who Qiao Mei was talking about and he shook his head resignedly. He did not know if it was a boon or bane for He Ning to be Qiao Mei’s acquaintance, given that she made him take the blame for everything.
“I suppose you’re talking about the third young master of the He family,” Du Miao said.
“Since you already know, then go quickly. If he finishes everything he has, I don’t know if you can still save Song Dan,” Qiao Mei said, pretending to be worried.
He Ning, who was currently at home in the suburbs, suddenly sneezed twice. Huo Gao immediately asked, “What’s wrong with you? Don’t tell me you caught a cold during the change in seasons!”
He Ning was very weak and they could not overlook any sickness. For others, it might just be a small cold, but in He Ning’s case, it may even lead to pneumonia!
“I’m fine…” He Ning did not feel any discomfort, but he just suddenly felt a chill down his spine. It was probably some little asshole who had thought about him.
Du Miao was not a fool. He had already checked on all the “divine medicine” which Qiao Mei had given away. Even if he was willing to snatch it from someone, he could not take it from He Ning. That would be like trying to take that man’s life!
“I heard that you’ve known him for a long time. Why don’t you ask him for it? He won’t reject your request,” Du Miao said.
“Who told you that I have a good relationship with him? I only sold him the medicine. Other than that, we didn’t interact much,” Qiao Mei said sternly.
In this era, based on what Du Miao just said, anyone with ulterior motives would definitely be able to make a big deal out of it and make it sound like she had a sordid relationship with He Ning. If that happened, she would not be able to explain herself even if she had more than one mouth to speak.
“Why does Young Master Du keep asking us for that ‘divine medicine’? Is Song Dan’s condition really so serious at the moment? The doctors are all very capable nowadays. If there’s really no other way, you can transfer Song Dan to my Aunt’s hospital. There are many experts there and I believe that they will definitely be able to treat Song Dan,” Xia Wen said.
“Don’t you trust the hospital we’re currently using?” Du Miao said with a slight frown.
“That’s not what I mean. Song Dan is your good brother, so you will definitely take good care of him. However, I also want to play safe. Although what happened today has nothing to do with our Xia family, we are willing to bear all the medical expenses in view of the relationship between our families. What do you think, Young Master Du?” Xia Wen asked.
Du Miao lowered his head and pondered for a long time. Given that Xia Wen had already put it this way, it would be useless no matter how hard he tried to ask for that “divine medicine”. Instead, it would seem like he was being deliberately difficult.
It looked like he would have to let Song Dan suffer for a while for now. He would take good care of Grandpa Song during this period of time.
Qiao Mei brought Xia He and Deng Fan back to her place to rest while Xia Wen and Du Miao went to the hospital to settle the outstanding issues. Along the way, Xia He looked unhappy and pulled a long face the entire time. If not for Deng Fan holding on to her, she might have jumped out of the car and returned to the police station to teach Du Miao a lesson.
“Are you still angry?” Qiao Mei asked cautiously.
“How can I not be angry! These people actually plotted against me! We even need Eldest Brother and you to clean up the mess for us! I think Eldest Brother will nag me again when he comes back later…” Xia He pouted and said aggrievedly.
“If someone really wants to harm you, do you think you can detect it? Furthermore, you were really plotted against, so there’s no point for you to take it to heart. Just be more careful next time,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
Deng Fan quickly echoed, “Qiao Mei is right. Actually, it’s all my fault for being too impulsive this time. It’s also my fault for being too busy recently and not noticing what’s happening with you.”
“Hey! Stop, stop, stop! If we continue like this, it’ll be my turn to say that it’s all my fault! No one is at fault in this matter! It’s all those bad guys’ fault!” Qiao Mei quickly waved her hand to dispel all the thoughts that Deng Fan and Xia He had.
“By the way, Elder Brother-in-law! You must come and watch Elder Sister’s musical! I’ll give you a day off that day!” Qiao Mei said as she patted her chest.
“I had wanted to talk to you about this too. Given what you just said, I won’t stand on ceremony with you!” Deng Fan said happily.
After they reached home, they immediately went to rest. Xu Kang brought Deng Fan to Xia Wen’s room in the backyard to stay for the night.
