Chapter 51: Selfishness and Heartlessness

Translator: Lonelytree

This was back when mobile phones weren't ubiquitous. However, the younger generations would likely have one.

Chen Xiaohua called a number. After the call was answered, Chen Xiaohua immediately asked, "Big Brother, how is Xiao Ran?"

Before the other person could say anything, a voice could be heard, "You still owe the hospital 50,000 RMB. When are you going to pay? If you don't pay it now, we'll have to cut off the patient's medication!"

Then, a sharp voice with a country accent countered, "This is a daytime robbery! We just paid 5000 the day before yesterday. How can you need money so soon? I know, you must have stolen the money for yourself, you thief!"

The nurse was annoyed being slandered. "Who are you calling a thief, you country bumpkin?! Can't you see how serious your son's injury is? He was stabbed close to the heart. He almost died. Our director pitied him, so he waived some of the fees. Otherwise, do you think 50,000 is enough to cover his medical bills? Of the total, you've only paid 5000, and you have the gall to call me a thief? If you're not satisfied with our service, feel free to transfer to another hospital." Then, the nurse scoffed, "Oh, wait. I don't think there's any hospital that dares to accept your son. Your perfect son has offended the most powerful person in City Z, Young Master Yan!"

For Lan Erying, her son was the best man in the world. Even Young Master Yan couldn't be compared to her son.

Lan Eryang put her hands on her waist and said aggressively, "You are a bunch of bullies. Do you know that my son is the son-in-law of a big company's CEO? Just you wait. After my son recovers, I'll go demand an explanation from that Young Master Yan. I'll make him bow down to me and apologize to my son!"

Lan Erying was from the countryside. She was a peasant woman who didn't know about the power structure in City Z.

The nurse rolled her eyes with derision. She sneered. "Fine, I'll wait. But you need to pay the hospital bills now, or else, we'll have to discharge your son."

"No. My son is seriously injured. He can't leave the hospital!" Chen Dahua, who held the phone, said anxiously. "Nurse, please be kind. We'll raise the money soon."

The nurse huffed and said, "You're at least more sensible than your wife. Fine. Go and raise the money quickly, or you can take the patient and leave this hospital!"

"Of course!" Chen Dahua lowered his head and replied very politely.

Lan Erying was not satisfied. She wanted to say something when Chen Dahua growled at her, "Shut up! Do you want your son to be kicked out of the hospital?"

Chen Dahua then turned his focus back to his phone to continue the conversation with his younger brother. However, the call had ended.

The Chen Family heard the conversation between Lan Erying and the nurse clearly. When Chen Dahua said he would raise money for the hospital bills, his siblings urged Chen Xiaohua to hang up.

Chen Guihua said with a solemn expression, "It seems the rumors are true. Chen Ran has offended a big shot."

Chen Xiaohua piped up. "Brothers and sisters, Big Brother needs the hospital fees for Xiao Ran. Shouldn't we help him?"

Once he said that Chen Erhua's wife immediately objected. She exclaimed, "How are we supposed to help? We don't have any money. Haven't Big Sister-in-law been gloating about the money Chen Ran has been sending them? We'd hear about them every other day. Since they have the money, why do they need money from us?"

The wives were very agitated when the topic of money was brought up. They had no money! If their husbands dared to loan the money to Chen Dahua in secret, they would divorce their husbands instantly!

Chen Dahua's two sisters and their husbands stated plainly that they didn't have any money. They were quite heartless.

The fact was even if they had the money, they wouldn't dare loan Chen Dahua. Chen Ran had offended a big character. If they helped him, they might be implicated.

The same thing was happening in the Lan Family.

A few days later, Xiao Lingyu sighed in relief after she heard the reactions of the Chen Family and the Lan Family.

'It looks like the seed of discord has been sown.'

However, the heavens were really helping Xiao Lingyu. It just so happened that Chen Xiaohua called Chen Dahua when the nurse demanded they pay the hospital bills. According to rumors, Chen Dahua's siblings refused to answer Chen Dahua's call after that. The situation was the same with the Lan Family.

When Lan Erying's eldest brother called to ask about Chen Ran, the Lan Family overheard the doctor urging Chen Dahua to pay the fees. When Lan Erying's brother heard that the payment was 50,000, he hung up immediately, afraid that his sister might ask to borrow money from them.

Chen Ran had offended someone who could make a big company disappear just like that. If that person wanted to take revenge on Chen Ran, the Chen Family and the Lan Family would be wiped out immediately.

Therefore, there was no way they would lend Chen Dahua and Lan Erying the money. In fact, they were doing everything they could to avoid Chen Ran's family.
