Chapter 547: Chapter 536: Elite Gathering
Chi Yuhang immediately stood up and took the medicine with both hands.
“Miss Qiao, how much are these medicines? I’ll note it down first and pay you back later.”
He could earn money through his own efforts and then pay the other party back, so he couldn’t accept others’ kindness without reason.
Moreover, Qiao Jing had already helped him once, and he felt embarrassed to ask her to help a second time.
Qiao Jing pursed her red lips and skipped over this topic, writing down her phone number on a piece of paper.
“Take it once after lunch and once after dinner, one packet each time. This is a three-day supply. Come back for more medicine after three days. If you have any questions, you can contact me.”
She actually didn’t even want to charge Chi Yuhang the consultation fee. To help a little was to help.
Wonderful Hall had plenty of medicines; it was just a matter of handing a few to Chi Yuhang.
Chi Yuhang took note of the time seriously and then gave Qiao Jing a deep bow.
“Thank you, Miss Qiao.”
He knew that Qiao Jing hadn’t mentioned the cost of the medicine because she intended to give it to him.
If he were to argue with her about it, then the problem would be his.
Qiao Jing shook her head and said no more.
She stood up, walked over to Chi Chenyun’s side, and helped Chi Yuhang Discover more novels on NovelHub - your gateway to endless stories.
“I’ve called a taxi for you. Just tell the driver where to go; he will take you home without charging you.”
She knew that the few hundred dollars Chi Yuhang had just given her were the last of his savings. If she didn’t help with the taxi, she didn’t know how Chi Yuhang would manage to get the old man home.
Upon hearing Qiao Jing’s words, Chi Yuhang paused; a taxi appeared in front of them.
“Miss Qiao, I… I can’t thank you enough! Don’t worry; I will be able to repay you very soon.”
He had just saved the money for his grandfather’s medicine for several days. After he finished paying off his debts, he would be able to save more money to repay Qiao Jing.
Chi Chenyun looked at Qiao Jing for a moment and then spoke up:
“Doctor, do you know my Xiao Hang? Are you friends with Xiao Hang? Could you possibly give Xiao Hang a little more time? He has paid off the principal to the loan sharks, but they keep coming after him for the interest, so he can’t pay off all his debts in time.”
He had never seen his grandson make any friends, as his grandson worked multiple jobs a day and simply had no time to make friends.
Now, it seemed that not only had he made a friend, but also a very kind-hearted one.
Chi Yuhang immediately responded to his grandfather’s question.
“Grandpa, Miss Qiao is not my friend; she’s my benefactor. She helped me once before.”
He didn’t dare to simply assume anyone was his friend; how could a person like him possibly have friends?
Upon hearing this, Chi Chenyun sighed.
“Oh… well, thank you, Doctor Qiao, for helping Xiao Hang. I’m just an old guy with nothing substantial to offer, and I’m really sorry about that.”
Qiao Jing felt even more moved as she looked at the grandparent and grandchild.
She stepped forward to help open the car door, her red lips parting slightly.
“It’s okay, you can contact me anytime if there are any problems.”
Chi Yuhang nodded and helped Chi Chenyun into the car.
What he didn’t notice was that as he was getting into the car, Qiao Jing’s hand lightly touched the pocket of his outer jacket.
After the car started, Chi Yuhang had just reached into his pocket, intending to pull out his phone to check the time, when he suddenly touched something.
His hand paused, and he pulled out the object, realizing it was the money he had given to Qiao Jing, along with a small note.
Chi Yuhang immediately opened the note and read the line written on it.
“No need for the money, pay me back when you have some.”
After reading the note, Chi Yuhang put the money and the note back in his pocket and watched Qiao Jing’s figure in the rear-view mirror.
Soon after, another person appeared in his sight, a friend of Miss Qiao.
He had noticed before that this friend of Qiao Jing seemed to have a significant issue with him, which he had realized during their first meeting.
Because up to now, the expression on everyone’s face he had encountered was the same as that of Miss Qiao’s friend.
But today, it seemed to have changed, no longer the same as before.
Only when he could no longer see the two figures in the rear-view mirror did Chi Yuhang finally look away.
Meanwhile, in front of Wonderful Hall.
Qiao Jing had just returned to the clinic to continue her consultations when she noticed Zhan Nanqing standing next to her, staring in the direction Chi Yuhang had left.
She looked at Zhan Nanqing with a puzzled expression and asked,
“What are you thinking about?”
She had noticed earlier that, after learning about Yuhang’s background, Zhan Nanqing had maintained her silence, seemingly deep in thought.
Zhan Nanqing then snapped back to reality, her face showing a complex expression.
“I was thinking that I had misunderstood Yuhang before. I thought the usury was his own debt. But even so, I look down on him for being so spineless. I’ve never heard of a law that mandates children to pay off their parents’ debts, and his dad definitely didn’t leave him any inheritance. He didn’t need to help pay off the debts, yet he foolishly did, even getting beaten up for it.”
She now wanted to grab Yuhang by the ear and tell him there is no such thing as children being legally obligated to pay off their parents’ debts, so he shouldn’t be so spineless.
Qiao Jing sat back in her chair, her eyes darkening.
“Those usurers don’t think that way. They just want their money, and Chi Yuhang had already paid back the principal.”
It seemed she needed to help Chi Yuhang deal with the usurer’s issue, although he had no relation to her. She saw her past self and Grandpa Zhang in Yuhang and his son.
She still wanted to help them a lot because, for her, it was an easy task, whereas for Yuhang, it was quite difficult.
She would handle the usury issue.
Zhan Nanqing frowned, uninterested in thinking about it any further.
“Never mind, let’s talk about something else. I was just looking at my phone and saw Lu Zijiao posted on his social media. He’s organized a gathering for tonight, a golfing event. Half of the capital’s elite will be there. Will you come with me?”
Qiao Jing furrowed her brow, thinking for a moment.
Although it was during her break time, she didn’t really want to go to places crowded with people, and she definitely did not know how to play golf.
She usually focused on her work, and if she encountered something unfamiliar at work, she would take time to learn about it.
For instance, her computer skills improved because her computer once malfunctioned and couldn’t restore from backup, prompting her to spend time learning about it, among other things like calligraphy and painting.
Zhan Nanqing exclaimed, “Aiya,” and started clinging to Qiao Jing’s arm, coaxing her,
“If you don’t come with me, then I’ll have to go alone. The only person I used to hang out with was someone from the Lou family, and it was always her and me going out, but I’ve seen her true colors now and have cut ties with her long ago.”
