Chapter 18: Chapter 18 My Poor Daughter
Song Yun had observed the entrance for a long time and had calculated the flow of patients, feeling that the hospital\'s profits for the year must be over a hundred million!
While not a significant amount, it was the stability that counted. Even if short on cash in the future, the hospital could continuously provide a stream of funds.
So Song Yunkai drove his Lamborghini towards the inside of the hospital.
A Volkswagen car slowly stopped not far away, the window lowered, revealing Zhao Junxia\'s greedy eyes.
Ever since Su Jun informed the family about Song Yun\'s real situation, Zhao Junxia had been pushing Su Luting to seek him out.
Although Song Yun loathed her to the bone, he felt differently about Su Luting!
They had been together for so long; if Su Luting pleaded with Song Yun, maybe he would loosen his grip, and the money that trickled through could be enough for her family to clear all their debt and even live comfortably!
Despite urging from all angles, Su Luting had never agreed. Zhao Junxia could only ask around for Song Yun\'s daily whereabouts while planning how to encounter him without seeming too deliberate.
One could say Zhao Junxia\'s mind was entirely focused on how to deal with Song Yun.
Today, she had received news early on that Song Yun was at the entrance of a private hospital. She hastily pretended to be ill, insisting Su Luting take her to the hospital, and specifically asked for this private one.
Zhao Junxia perhaps didn\'t understand what a private hospital meant. In her eyes, private hospitals weren\'t much different from community clinics, but Su Luting knew exactly what Huachuang Hospital represented.
She taught at a prestigious school, where students were either rich or nobles, and from their perspective, Huachuang Hospital wasn\'t the first choice for non-urgent ailments—why? Too expensive!
The hospital was like a gold-devouring beast; although excellent at healing, it would swallow patients\' wallets completely.
The rich were already cautious of it, let alone people from a family with their financial conditions; they probably couldn\'t even afford to walk in...
But unable to withstand her mother\'s pleading, Su Luting still brought Zhao Junxia to the hospital, thinking that a basic check-up shouldn\'t cost too much.
As long as she insisted at the time on not getting extensive treatment, the few thousand yuan in her pocket should suffice...
Just as the two of them were about to enter, Su Luting caught a glimpse of a Lamborghini. Wasn\'t this the car model her brother said Song Yun had recently acquired?
As a teacher, Su Luting\'s intelligence was unquestionably sharp; she immediately realized this was her mother\'s scheme.
Indeed, her mother, who always complained about the expenses even at regular hospitals, would not ask to be taken to a private hospital for treatment. Clearly, she had an ulterior motive—it was a pretext for Zhao Junxia to \'bump into\' Song Yun!
Su Luting was unwilling to do such a thing; if they had broken up, they should at least retain some dignity for each other.
Yet her mother kept pressuring her. To be honest, since graduation, her paycheck had never stayed in her hands; she had not even seen the money before her mother transferred it away each month.
Out of respect for her mother\'s hard work, Su Luting had put up with it, but now that Song Yun turned out to be a rich second generation, her mother shamelessly clung to him. Did she think Song Yun was a fool?
"Mom, tell me the truth, is Song Yun inside the hospital?" Su Luting asked, her expression changing.
"What are you talking about? Are you hysterical or something? Aren\'t we here to see a doctor for me today?"
Zhao Junxia feigned calmness and took her daughter\'s hand, walking towards the hospital entrance.
But Su Luting rejected her mother for the first time.
Zhao Junxia sighed and slowly said, "You\'ve always been smart since you were little; I can\'t hide anything from you. Yes, Song Yun is in the hospital today. I just wanted to create a coincidental meeting so you two could find a place to talk things out."
"Mom! I\'ve said I don\'t want to! Can\'t you just listen to me?"
"Can\'t you consider our family\'s financial situation at all? The house is gone! Your brother still has online loans to pay! Are we all supposed to go drink the northwestern wind? Your brother is already over twenty this year, and in a few years, he\'ll be at the age to get married. Do you want to see your brother remain single for life?"
The thoughts of mother and son collided, and as their emotions escalated, they drew the attention of the nurses within the hospital.
Su Luting squatted on the ground in agony, thinking why had it come to this. Her current situation with Song Yun had much to do with her mother\'s doting on her brother. Now that things had come to this, why was she still expected to support them? Did the rest of the family couldn\'t survive without her?
"Does Mom really only care about my brother? Aren\'t I the Su family\'s own daughter?"
"Ouch, my back..."
Without Su Luting\'s support, Zhao Junxia slowly lay on the ground, her face writhing in pain.
"Ouch, my poor life... Ting Ting, if you don\'t help out, our family will have no choice but to jump into the Huangpu River! Please, just help Mom one last time, go and beg Song Yun. I believe he will definitely help you!"
Watching Su Luting approach with a pale face to check her mother\'s nonexistent injuries, Zhao Junxia felt a surge of joy and started sobbing while grabbing her daughter\'s hand.
"My poor daughter, why is our family so miserable? If we have no money to pay back the bank, the only path left for me is death... It doesn\'t matter if I die, but can you bear to see your brother carry millions in debt at his young age?"
As Zhao Junxia cried, a trace of fresh blood leaked from the corner of her mouth. Actually, her injury was still quite severe. It\'s said that injuries to the sinews and bones take a hundred days to heal. Although she had received treatment, she had never had proper rest, which led to her weakened state, prone to various problems whenever she became emotionally agitated.
"It seems that the lady is severely injured; why don\'t we go into the hospital first? If something happens, it could have a negative impact on our hospital."
The security guards at the gate kindly stepped forward to mediate.
Seeing the old lady on the ground breathing more out than in, if she died at the hospital\'s doorway, who knows how many keyboard warriors would blame the hospital for lacking medical ethics.
"Anyone can enter this hospital, but not them!"
The speaker was Song Yunkai, who had just rushed over.
He had been patrolling the hospital but heard a commotion at the entrance and, fearing a medical dispute, Song Yunkai hurried to the front door.
He didn\'t expect that upon his arrival, he would see Zhao Junxia, lying on the ground and wailing like a fishwife.
Song Yunkai harbored a deep-seated dislike for this family.
On ordinary days, he would go out of his way to avoid them, let alone allow them into the hospital. If Zhao Junxia caused any trouble inside, she could make enough noise to shut the hospital down for reorganization!
