Chapter 185: Chapter 184 Relationships More Powerful Than the Su Family
Xia Yong looked at Su Niannian sending messages to Chi Gui, but he felt no expectation at all.
He had heard about Chi Gui from Su Niannian before. Indeed she was very capable and sufficiently cool and excellent. Given a few more years, she might really create a place for herself in Capital City.
But now… she was just a student still in school.
Xia Yong dared not pin his hopes on a student.
Su Niannian was still chatting with Chi Gui, and Xia Yong didn’t say much. He just picked up his phone and called a few friends in Capital City whose connections weren’t too bad.
The Xia Family in Nancheng could only be considered a second-rate wealthy family at best, so Xia Yong’s own network was nothing to boast about. He had scoured his contact list, but either people genuinely couldn’t help him, or they’d come up with an excuse to refuse as soon as they heard about the situation.
Eventually, someone who Xia Yong had helped before told him the blunt truth, “Bro, I won’t lie to you. I’d like to help you, but it’s not that I don’t want to. It’s just that the Su Family has spread the word that they won’t allow anyone to help you, nor will they allow any hospital to take you in… I’m just barely scraping by in Capital City myself. I really can’t afford to offend the Su Family…”
The person paused then added, “Unless you can find a connection that trumps the Su Family, but otherwise…”
Xia Yong couldn’t listen anymore.
He thanked the person with an awful expression, barely containing his rage as he hung up the phone, his grip tight enough to almost crush the mobile device!
“The Su Family is simply despicable!” Xia Yong couldn’t help but curse.
Su Niannian didn’t hear what the person on the other end had said, but judging by Xia Yong’s expression, she knew it couldn’t have been anything good.
She pursed her lips and said solemnly, “Uncle, Sister Chi said she found a hospital for us… let’s go check it out first…”
When she said this, Su Niannian was also very anxious. After all, she had just experienced first-hand how difficult it was to find a hospital in Capital City.
But she felt that Sister Chi didn’t seem like someone who would make empty promises…
Xia Yong looked at Su Niannian, and after a while, he let out a heavy sigh without saying much, “Let’s go take a look then…”
Xia Yong had no hope at all.
After all, Old Sir Su had already put out such a statement, what hospital would take them in?
Even if there really was a hospital that wasn’t afraid of Old Sir Su, it wasn’t likely within their reach.
Su Niannian clutched her phone, saw Xia Yong’s expression, and knew what he was thinking. She bit her lip, “Uncle, I think Sister Chi wouldn’t lie… maybe… a miracle really might happen?”
Xia Yong gave a bitter smile, “I hope so.”
Aunt had already booked a room in a hotel near the hospital and had settled Mrs. Su properly.
When Su Niannian and Xia Yong rushed back, they saw a young man and a woman standing at the front desk. They smiled and greeted them as soon as they saw them.
The young man extended his hand with a smile, “Hello. You must be Mr. Xia and Student Su that Sister Chi mentioned? I’m Xu Wen, Sister Chi’s… colleague. And this is Xiang Nuan, also a colleague of Sister Chi.” Latest content published on novel·fire.net
Su Niannian and Xia Yong were somewhat stunned and didn’t react, nor did they extend their hands.
Xu Wen didn’t seem to mind and naturally retracted his hand, getting straight to the point, “The hospital is quite far from here. Sister Chi asked us to escort you there, so you have some assistance on the way.”
“You are?” Xia Yong looked at them skeptically. They were so young; how could they be of any help?
Xu Wen didn’t beat around the bush and simply pulled out his phone, showing them the message that Chi Gui had left for him on WeChat.
Chi Gui was always concise with her words, and her messages were like commands, “My friend’s mother needs to go to the hospital. You and Xiang Nuan take them to ‘Furun Sanatorium.’ Look after the patient a bit more on the way.”
Su Niannian was used to Chi Gui speaking in such a way and didn’t find it odd.
Xia Yong, however, was puzzled.
This tone… it sounded like a boss assigning tasks to a subordinate?
