Coincidentally, he saw Li Beinian’s car accident, so he came over to show some warmth and concern for his daughter.
Let alone the tens of thousands of yuan in medical fees, even if he had to apologize, he would do it!
Chi Hailang was pleasantly surprised to hear this. “Really? That’s great!”
Li Haoran frowned and looked at Chi Hailang, who looked like he had just picked up a huge bargain. “You’re the brother of Nian Nian’s godfather, isn’t that right?”
“That’s right.” Chi Hailang smiled brightly. “Since that’s the case, let me tell you about the medical fees. That person is a Chinese British. I can’t tell what’s so special about him. However, because of this, his people specially hired a specialist from the British Medical Research Institute to treat him. His medicine, plaster, and whatnots are of the best quality. They even hired a special caregiver. Apart from the hospital bed, they’ve provided everything for themselves. As for the fees… I’ve asked around. It’s only the second day and those specialists have already spent hundreds of thousands… and much remains to be done still…
Li Haoran’s expression changed at once. “Who are these people? Are they trying to extort?”
Chi Hailang scratched his face and continued, “But Beinian did crash into him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be lying here. Rumor has it that he’s a businessman, the kind who wouldn’t even bother to pick up ten thousand dollars if he dropped it. Do you know why? Because the time taken for him to bend over would have lost him tens of millions of yen. He’s not an ordinary folk like us.”
Li Haoran sneered. “Are there such people? Does that mean he’s richer than Bill Gates?”
“I don’t know about that. I’m just telling you what I’ve heard. However, it’s a fact that someone’s hospitalized from injuries caused by us. We’ll have to foot the medical bills for sure. And since you said that you’ll pay…”
Li Haoran grew very sullen and he questioned, “Did you do this on purpose?”
“Do what on purpose?” Chi Hailang blinked. “Didn’t you volunteer to foot the bill!”
Looking even more sullen now, Li Haoran demanded, “I want to see Nian Nian.”
“Beinian can’t see anyone now. She’s dizzy. She wanted to throw up just then, and she’s feeling unwell from the concussion.” Chi Hailang looked serious. “Now she’s asleep again, so I came out.”
Li Haoran did not insist and said, “Alright, I’ll come back another day…”
“But the medical bills…”
Li Haoran’s expression darkened. “Shangzhi is a huge organization and Mu Xichen has all the money in the world. Who am I to have to foot the bill? This person is obviously here to blackmail us. Are you so willing to be taken advantage of?”
Chi Hailang scratched his face again and replied, “Since you’ve said so, I’ll let Beinian know when she wakes up. Ultimately, you’re unwilling to foot the bill, and you call yourself her father. Yet you didn’t even feel bad when you threw money your daughter’s way so that she could buy trending topics. Tsk!”
As Chi Hailang spoke, he ignored Li Haoran’s sullen expression. Then after that, he turned around, opened the door and walked in, shutting the door firmly behind him.
Cheng Su wanted to laugh aloud. She felt nothing but admiration for Chi Hailang.
However, she also felt a little awkward standing in front of Li Haoran. She coughed lightly and said, “Well, it’s getting late. I’ll have to go. Goodbye, Uncle.”
As soon as she had said this, she very quickly fled without waiting for Li Haoran’s response.
Li Haoran gritted his teeth as anger welled up in him.
Chi Hailang was just a young lad. How could he say something like that? Li Beinian must have instigated it!
