Chapter 383 Another secret
Zhen Zhen rolled her eyes behind her sunglasses, her stomach churning, and she felt a little nauseous.
A toad lusting after a swan—doesn't it know to take a good look at itself in the mirror?
"Let's go inside and talk," she said coldly.
Liang Chao chuckled, unconcerned about Zhen Zhen's coldness.
"What? Afraid someone will take your picture? I checked, nobody's following you. You're just a minor celebrity, who would want to take your picture!"
Hearing his voice brought back a flood of memories, making Zhen Zhen feel irritable and disgusted.
Zhen Zhen's patience reached its limit. "Do you want the money or not?"
Liang Chao wanted to curse.
But since he hadn't received the money, he had to be patient.
Once the money arrives, let's see if he doesn't take advantage of that bastard Sancao to vent his anger.
It just so happened that A-Cai was pregnant, and he had been celibate for a long time.
Sancao is so beautiful, with a great figure and a slim waist. It's much more exciting to be with her than when she was a child.
Liang Chao looked Zhen Zhen up and down, his tongue sweeping across her back teeth, his face full of lewdness.
There is only one patient, Wang Lianhua, in the ward for the time being. There are three beds, and Wang Lianhua sleeps in one of them.
The other two beds were occupied by Wang Ying and A Cai.
Zhenzhen found everything they touched dirty.
She stood still and got straight to the point, "Say it, how much do you want?"
Wang Ying sat up from the hospital bed, spat out a mouthful of phlegm on the ground with a "pui" sound, and spoke with great disgust.
"Sancao, you shameless bastard, you've finally become something of a boss, huh? You're entitled to whatever I ask for."
Zhen Zhen didn't reply. Her hands, which were in her pockets, were tightly gripping the lining of her clothes as she waited for Wang Ying to speak.
“One million, and rent a house for A-Cai, find a hospital to give birth to her child. My grandson, Wang Ying’s grandson, must be born in the biggest city and the best hospital.”
"And your cousin, find him any job that pays around 10,000 yuan a month, let him live here. I think everything here is better than in our hometown. Put in some effort and buy your cousin a house quickly so that the three of them can live here."
Qiang sneered inwardly. A job with a monthly salary of ten thousand? How dare she even ask for it!
Zhen Zhen swallowed hard, summoning all her courage before she dared to take off her sunglasses.
"One million? I don't have that."
"No!" Wang Ying screamed, "If you don't have money, you won't give me any."
Wang Ying picked up a slipper from the ground and rushed over to hit Zhen Zhen.
Even after ten years, when faced with Wang Ying's act of hitting her, Zhen Zhen only had a subconscious reaction: raising her hands to protect her head.
But this time, she didn't feel the pain she remembered.
A whiff of disinfectant wafted into her nostrils, but someone shielded her from view.
"Family member of the patient, this is a hospital, not a place for you to beat and scold!"
An Xiaoyue stared coldly at Wang Ying with her icy eyes.
Wang Ying felt excruciating pain in her wrist, which was being held by Dr. An. She said angrily:
"Dr. An, let me go, let me go! My beating and scolding of my own family members has nothing to do with you."
“You can hit or scold her as you please once you leave the hospital. But your mother has a heart condition. Your shouting and yelling here will only disturb her rest and worsen her condition.”
An Xiaoyue's words were perfectly tactful.
No matter how unwilling Wang Ying was, she could only give up when she saw her mother's purplish-red lips on the sickbed.
"I'm not making a fuss anymore, Dr. An, please let me go," Wang Ying pleaded with a smile.
An Xiaoyue let go of her hand and instructed, "The patient needs to have blood drawn for tests tomorrow morning. After 8 p.m. tonight, do not give her any water or food."
Wang Ying obediently agreed, "Okay, I'll remember."
Liang Chao hadn't expected that Dr. An, who looked so thin and tall, would be so wild and actually manage to keep his hardworking mother in check.
It seems this female doctor is quite capable; we shouldn't mess with her.
Playing with women is important, but life is more important. If you lose your life, what's the point of playing around?
Liang Chao's lewd gaze fell on Zhen Zhen.
Being a scoundrel isn't so bad either.
After An Xiaoyue finished explaining, she listened to Wang Lianhua's heart again.
Having no other reason to stay, she left.
Before leaving, Brother Qiang nodded gratefully to her.
He had tried to come forward just now, but he was a step too late.
Mrs. Fu's movements were so swift; she was clearly a trained fighter.
After An Xiaoyue left, Wang Ying felt relieved and plopped back down on the hospital bed, grumbling, "It's your problem if you don't have money, but I only want this much."
When Zhenzhen thought about how pathetic she looked when facing Xiaoyue earlier, she understood.
Wang Ying is the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. As long as she stands up for herself, Wang Ying can't do anything about her.
"My last bit of cash has been transferred to you by my agent. I only have 20,000 in savings now. Take it or leave it. As for the house and the job, I can't handle those."
Hearing this, Liang Chao was secretly pleased. "It's fine if you don't find me a job, just give me money to spend every day."
He, Liang Chaocai, didn't care about work at all.
Money is easier to come by than by begging from a scoundrel.
"I won't help you find a house. I don't have money to rent one for you. You'll have to take care of your own prenatal checkups. It has nothing to do with me."
"Oh ho~ I see you've got some backbone, huh? You dare to go against me? Have you forgotten who fed you and raised you? Without me, would you have this glamorous celebrity life today, with all these people following you around? It's all because I supported you, you know?"
Wang Ying's spittle flew everywhere.
"If you don't remember, I'll go online and ask everyone to judge. You think you can just throw your life away now that you're doing well? Pah! Don't even think about it. If anything happens to my Liang family's grandson, you won't live a good life either. If you don't give me money, if you don't rent a place for us, I'll let your fans know your true colors. What fairy, what jade maiden—you're just a slut, a whore! How dare you..."
"Enough!" Zhen Zhen suddenly shouted, losing control, to stop Wang Ying from continuing.
A hysterical voice, filled with deep-seated fear and disgust.
"Twenty thousand, I'll rent you a place, I don't care about anything else!"
Zhen Zhen's tears were worthless to Wang Ying.
All Wang Ying knew was that Zhen Zhen really had no money left, otherwise she wouldn't have cried.
Sancao is a worthless wretch; he has no money, and forcing him won't work.
"Twenty thousand for now. You have to give me the money whenever I need it. Otherwise, your cousin will make you regret it."
As for the daughter-in-law's prenatal checkups, let's just leave it at that; she didn't get them done in her hometown anyway.
Going to the hospital after giving birth is the same, and it saves a lot of money.
After transferring 20,000 yuan, Zhen Zhen seemed completely exhausted and was helped out of the ward by Brother Qiang.
Qiang had many questions in his mind, but Zhen Zhen's current state was clearly not suitable for discussing matters.
"Let me take you home first."
Zhen Zhen shook her head. "No, let's go to a real estate agency first and rent a house for them."
Brother Qiang: "I'll ask my friend to help me rent a house. You should go back and rest; you don't seem to be doing well."
Zhen Zhen was practically leaning on Qiang Ge's shoulder as she was helped into the car.
An Xiaoyue saw them leave from the nurses' station and wanted to go up and ask what happened, but she held back because she remembered her promise to Zhen Zhen.
Zhen Zhen sat in the car, saying nothing, only looking at the scenery rushing past the window, silently shedding tears.
Brother Qiang wanted to understand the whole story so he could handle things better.
He asked, "Zhen Zhen, why are you so afraid of them?"
Zhen Zhen remained silent, her eyes staring blankly out the window.
Qiang Ge and Da Dou exchanged a glance and neither of them disturbed Zhen Zhen any further.
Back at Zhenzhen's home, Dadou stayed with her in the room.
Qiang Ge, in the living room downstairs, made a phone call to the secretary of the owner of Xinglifang.
Zhen Zhen's reaction, her aunt's family's attitude towards her, and then thinking about how Zhen Zhen has worked almost recklessly over the years.
He felt it was necessary to report this to his boss to prevent any irreparable consequences.
"Brother Qiang, are you looking for the boss?" The secretary answered the phone directly. "The boss hasn't been in the company lately."
"Where did the boss go?" Qiang Ge frowned.
When the boss holds meetings, doesn't he make grand pronouncements about working for another thirty years?
