Chapter 1 A Visit To The Girlfriend In The Hospital
"The patient's condition is still very serious. If you want to continue treatment, it will cost an estimated two million."
After saying this, the attending doctor left the room.
The young man standing by the hospital bed looked grave.
A woman in a short skirt and glamorous makeup entered the room.
Chen Ming saw her and forced a smile.
He couldn't wait to speak up:
"Pingping, you came at the right time. Give me my bank card, I need to pay for my sister's treatment now!"
"Why do you need to pay again?"
Li Pingping frowned and took a step back, hiding her purse behind her back.
"You saw the doctor just leave, he said Xiaoyu's condition is very serious."
Chen Ming explained to his girlfriend with a bitter smile.
But Li Pingping muttered with a serious expression:
"What's the point of treating a vegetable?"
Chen Ming was initially stunned, but then chose to ignore her comment.
"Pingping, don't be upset. Xiaoyu is my sister, and as her brother, I must take care of her no matter what."
"Give me the bank card, I need to pay right away!"
Chen Ming's smile was strained.
However, Li Pingping didn't pay attention to Chen Ming's words.
Instead, she exploded with anger.
"Chen Ming, don't you think you're going too far?"
"What do you mean?"
Chen Ming looked disdainful.
"I've been with you for over a year, and you haven't given me a decent gift. Instead, I have to come to the hospital every day to take care of a vegetable!"
"Why did I fall for a delivery guy like you?"
"Just because you're the campus heartthrob, just because you have a pretty face?"
Li Pingping questioned.
Chen Ming was extremely puzzled by her outburst.
He always gave her gifts on every holiday!
"Pingping, let's not argue. Qixi Festival is coming soon, and I'll prepare a big gift for you then!"
"Then I want the latest iPhone 13, the Promax 1TB Far Peak Blue, and it must be the official Chinese version from Apple!"
Li Pingping's eyes lit up.
"Didn't I just buy you the iPhone 12 Pro Max?"
Chen Ming felt a pang in his heart.
He had saved up for three months to finance that phone.
The installment payments hadn't been fully paid off yet, so how could he buy another iPhone now?
"The 12 is outdated, I want the latest 13. If you don't buy it, it means you don't love me!"
Li Pingping's tone was firm.
After a moment of thought, Chen Ming could only nod.
Why did he agree so quickly earlier?
"Then give me your bank card now, I'll withdraw all the money from it. 500,000 should last for a while."
Chen Ming reached out to Li Pingping.
But Li Pingping, who had been smiling, suddenly exclaimed:
"Are you out of your mind, Chen Ming?"
"What's wrong?"
Chen Ming frowned.
"Do you really need to continue treating a vegetable? Why waste 500,000 on her for no reason?"
Li Pingping widened her eyes and shouted.
"Xiao Yu is my sister, I have an obligation to treat her illness!"
Chen Ming replied immediately.
But Li Pingping snorted coldly.
Then she pursed her lips and said:
"She's just a sister I picked up, is it necessary to keep spending money on her?"
"Li Pingping, don't be so rude!"
Chen Ming was a little annoyed.
"What are you arguing about?"
A middle-aged man with a stern face entered the room.
Chen Ming immediately calmed down.
He greeted him in a low voice:
"Uncle Li, why are you here?"
At that moment, Li Pingping turned around with a look of grievance and complained:
"Dad, you came just in time, Chen Ming just scolded me!"
"Scolded you?"
Li Li's face immediately showed a hint of anger.
He glared fiercely at Chen Ming and asked in a deep voice:
"You scolded my daughter?"
"Uncle Li, let me explain!"
Chen Ming suddenly felt a headache.
He just wanted to quickly get the money to pay for his sister's treatment.
But he never expected his girlfriend to delay him until now!
