Chapter 415: 122: Many years of red moles, the show is really good to watch! _1
Ni Yang continued, “May I ask, where is Fuwa’s mother?”
Hearing these words, Zhou Tianbao’s expression darkened for a moment, before he responded, “She’s gone.”
Despite public claims that Fuwa’s mother had died, Zhou Tianbao did not want to lie in front of Ni Yang.
“Haven’t you tried searching for her?” From this, Ni Yang could preliminarily ascertain that Fuwa’s mother was Li Xianxian.
Zhou Tianbao replied, “The reason we came all the way to Beijing was that we heard she was here.”
Ni Yang nodded and comforted, “I believe you will find Fuwa’s mother.”
Zhou Tianbao sighed, “Now, I’m just a useless man confined to a bed, even if we found her, what could we do?”
Ni Yang smiled, “Rest assured, your legs will get better.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tianbao’s eyes lit up.
“Really? Benefactor, can I really stand again?”
“Yes.” Ni Yang nodded confidently, “I am a doctor, I don’t make baseless promises. Trust me, as long as you take your medicine on time, your legs could be better in ten days, or at most, half a month.”
Possibly no one could comprehend what it feels like for someone who has been bedridden for a long time to hear these words.
Tears streamed down Zhou Tianbao’s face, “Thank you, thank you…”
Ni Yang laughed, “Medicine is for the benefit of the people. Precision is paramount. It’s a doctor’s responsibility. Don’t worry about it.”
“Benefactor, you really are a good person.” Zhou Tianbao choked up, “Fuwa, you must kneel and thank our benefactor.”
Now that his resources were minimal, all he could do was ask Fuwa to kneel in gratitude.
They would remember Ni Yang’s kindness forever.
As Fuwa moved to kneel, Ni Yang immediately stopped him.
“You don’t have to do this. I would have helped regardless of who it was.”
As it was getting late, Ni Yang explained how Fuwa should prepare the medicine and what to pay attention to in his daily life, and then left their home.
As Ni Yang was leaving, he gave Fuwa a hundred yuan.
Fuwa and Zhou Tianbao wanted to refuse because Ni Yang had already helped them so much. Not only did he treat him, buy them enough Chinese medicine and new bedding but he also hired someone to bathe him, thoroughly cleaning their home.
Since Zhou Tianbao had been paralyzed, he hadn’t bathed. It may have just been his imagination, but after bathing, he felt renewed.
Ni Yang said, “Fuwa’s dad, you should accept it. After all, you’re still bedridden, expenses are unavoidable. Though a hundred yuan might not be much, it can resolve half a year’s worth of living expenses. Once your legs are better and you are able to earn money, you can return it to me then.”
Only then did Zhou Tianbao allow Fuwa to accept it.
With this hundred yuan, added to the hope of standing again, Zhou Tianbao felt more hopeful about the future.
Zhou Tianbao instructed Fuwa, “Fuwa, you must remember this benefactor’s grace for life. Without him, you wouldn’t have a father now. Your mother may have given birth to you, but she did not raise you for even one day. She doesn’t deserve to be a mother. You could be unfilial to your mother, but you can’t be an ungrateful wretch.”
Fuwa nodded wisely, “I know, dad.”
At the western restaurant.
Shangguan Dehui arrived twenty minutes ahead of the agreed time.
After all, this was his first date with Lin Fang, and arriving early was a basic show of respect to the woman.
Where on earth was the rationale for letting a woman wait for a man?
Time ticked by, and an hour passed, but Lin Fang was still not there.
Shangguan Dehui checked his watch, and a trace of impatience was visible in his eyes.
Shangguan Dehui, a college professor as his side gig despised people who couldn’t be punctual.
Because simple actions can reflect a person’s character. Punctual people are meticulous, while those with poor time management are lax, self-centered, and inconsiderate of others.
Just as Shangguan Dehui was about to leave the cafe, Lin Fang finally arrived late.
She apologized, “I’m really sorry! I was supposed to be early, but I ran into a complication on my way here and kept you waiting.”
In reality, Lin Fang had purposely arrived late, wanting to test the extent of Shangguan Dehui’s regard for her.
It seemed that Shangguan Dehui was indeed very fond of her. After all, she was a whole 40 minutes late, if it were someone else, they would have certainly left by now.
