Chapter 184: Chapter 183 You Can Come Find Me
The person across responded after a while, “It’s all full already. But if you want to arrange for someone, I can free up some beds by discharging a few patients who are almost recovered.”
Chi Gui: “No need. I’ll ask someone else.”
The person on the other side clearly knew Chi Gui’s capabilities and didn’t say anything further.
When Su Niannian and Mr. Liu asked for leave and hurried to the hospital entrance, they saw their uncle and aunt anxiously stomping their feet at the door.
“What’s wrong?” Su Niannian quickly ran over.
“Oh… the hospital is full, there are no beds available!” her uncle sighed in distress, “Xia Ling is still lying in the car…”
Su Niannian’s mother’s surname was Xia, with the single name Ling; although the Xia family from Nancheng couldn’t compare to the Su family, they were still considered a second-rate wealthy family.
But in the Capital City, even the Su family couldn’t get a ranking, let alone the mere Xia family.
There was no way to secure a hospital bed.
“What about other hospitals…” Su Niannian went to the car to look at her mother.
Her body was too frail to withstand the jostling of the road, and she had passed out.
That visibly pale and thin face made Su Niannian’s heart clench.
“This is the last hospital,” Xia Yong sighed helplessly, “If this doesn’t work, we might have to go back to Nancheng…”
The best hospitals in Nancheng had bluntly said they couldn’t treat her, sending her back now was akin to waiting for death…
Su Niannian bit her lip hard: “I’ll go plead with Grandfather!”
The Su family might not rank in Capital City, but they were in the medical business; pleading with the acquainted hospital director should at least secure a hospital bed!
Xia Yong frowned, knowing very well what Old Sir Su thought of their family.
This trip for Su Niannian was likely to end in humiliation.
But now… aside from pleading with Old Sir Su, there was no other choice.
“I’ll go with you,” Xia Yong said.
In the end, the aunt stayed back to look after Su Niannian’s mother, while Xia Yong and Su Niannian took a taxi to the Su family.
On the way, Su Niannian received a WeChat message from Chi Gui: “Has your aunt been admitted to the hospital?”
Su Niannian felt a warmth in her heart.
Although Sister Chi couldn’t help much in this regard, the concern was enough.
She typed back: “No beds available… I’m going to ask Grandfather now, to see if he can figure something out.”
Chi Gui was silent for a while before sending a message: “If your grandfather doesn’t agree, come to me.”
Su Niannian’s heart warmed up again and she replied, “Thank you, Sister Chi.”
Putting down the phone, Su Niannian took a deep breath.
Soon, they arrived at the Su household.
On the way, Su Niannian had imagined many reasons Old Sir Su might refuse her.
But never did she expect that he would refuse even to see her! This text is hosted at novel·fire·net
“Miss Su, don’t blame the old sir,” the butler stood inside the door, not lifting his eyes once as he spoke through the villa’s iron gate, “In a few days, it’s a critical moment for the Tenggui Group’s bidding. The old sir is busy every day meeting with important guests invited from Hai Dou to discuss matters, how could he have the time to worry about such trivial issues?”
“Trivial issues?” Su Niannian spoke incredulously, “If my mom doesn’t get timely treatment, she could die! Is that a trivial issue?”
The butler chuckled: “Your mother has already divorced Mr. Su, isn’t this matter completely irrelevant to the Su family?”
Su Niannian felt waves of coldness in her heart.
When she left the Su household, her hands were trembling.
Until she sat in the car, she could not calm down.
“It’s okay, let’s think of another way…” Xia Yong comforted her.
Su Niannian didn’t speak, her mind went blank.
At that moment, the only person she could think of was Sister Chi.
The butler gently pushed open the study door and reported the recent incident to Old Sir Su.
After listening, a hint of ruthless flashed in Old Sir Su’s eyes: “First, notify all the major hospitals not to admit that family. Also, take care of the media, in case she gets desperate and fights back.”
For the current Su family, Su Niannian and her mother were nothing but a burden, even a potential bomb that could damage the Su family’s reputation.
The sooner dealt with, the more peace of mind.
The butler nodded, yet was a bit worried: “That friend of hers, Chi Gui, seems to have some abilities. Could she help them find a hospital?”
Old Sir Su chuckled softly: “Do you think the hospitals in Capital City are small-time places? She’s just a girl, the hospitals probably won’t even spare her a glance.”
