Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 1253: 1252 obedient or not

Lan Ning’s service was very attentive, she not only helped Li Li wash her face and brush her teeth, but also combed her hair in the process.

“My mentor is quite old, and he’s a stickler for cleanliness; he can’t stand it when people show up in front of him looking all disheveled.”

Li Li, trying to distract herself, began to ramble on to Lan Ning, “Once, a guy from our lab group wore ripped jeans, and it made our mentor so angry his face turned black. He criticized the guy on the spot and said if anyone dressed like that again, they would be kicked out of his laboratory.”

Lan Ning responded to her, “Our mentor is quite young and very fashionable. She doesn’t have any dress requirements for us.”

After talking for a while, Li Li felt hungry, so she asked Lan to buy her some easy-to-digest food, “I’ll transfer money to you, don’t spend your own money on me. I’ve saved quite a bit over the years, enough for me to splurge for several years.”

A portion of Li Li’s money was earned together with Tan Rou, and some was from dividends of her own investments. In any case, she wasn’t short of money.

But it was different for Lan Ning. Lan Ning was fully focused on her studies. Holding a part-time job was already exhausting for her, leaving no time for making extra money, so she didn’t have much in her wallet.

Lan Ning insisted, “You got injured because of me, how could I not spend any money at all?”

Li Li pretended to be very angry and said, “If you’re unwilling, then I just won’t let you buy anything. Even if you bring the food, I won’t eat a bite.”

Lan Ning tried to say something else, but Li Li quickly transferred the money to her, “Just accept the transfer first, and then bring me back some delicious food.”

Lan Ning had no choice but to accept the money. Since Li Li wouldn’t let her cover the medical expenses or spend money on food, Lan decided to buy more ingredients and cook for Li Li at Tan Rou’s place.

After Lan Ning left, the ward-round doctor came by. The hospital room was arranged by Tan Rou; it was a double room, but Tan Rou had not let Li Li share with anyone else, leaving the other bed for Lan Ning. If Lan Ning needed to stay overnight to take care of her, she would definitely need a bed to sleep in.

As for the fee for upgrading the room, Tan Rou had already paid it earlier. She had business dealings with the hospital, and they even gave her a discount.

Li Li didn’t feel the need to be polite with Tan Rou; after all, staying in a high-end ward was very comfortable.

The head of the hospital had given a call to inquire about Li Li, so the doctors didn’t dare to neglect her. During her rounds, the doctor asked many questions and spoke in a gentler tone than usual.

After the doctor finished asking questions, it was Li Li’s turn, “Doctor, is my injury serious? Will I be unable to perform physical activities in the future?”

The night before, she had a stomach ache, then fell asleep under the influence of medication, so she didn’t have the chance to ask the doctor these questions. Now was the perfect time to ask.

The doctor smiled and answered, “Your injury is not that severe. There’s a slight sign of rupture in your internal organs, but it hasn’t reached the point of breakage. You just need to properly rest for a while, and you’ll be able to recover to your previous condition. However, during the recuperation period, you must not get hurt again, otherwise, we will have to cut open your abdomen to treat you.”

Li Li found that thought terrifying and quickly covered her stomach, saying, “Okay, I will be careful.”

The doctor once again advised, “During this time, you can only eat food that’s easy to digest. Don’t be tempted by cravings and eat recklessly because your stomach is also injured. Hard-to-digest food will increase the burden on your stomach.”

Li Li obediently replied, “Yes, yes, I’m very obedient and won’t eat just anything.”

Before she could finish speaking, someone outside came knocking on the door.

The doctor went to open the door, outside was an elderly person with graying hair and two young people, a man and a woman, each carrying gifts. They appeared to be coming for a hospital visit.

“Li Li, your teacher is here to see you.” Professor Guo said with concern, “You little girl, you never listen. I’ve told you not to argue with people, but you don’t listen, and now you’ve ended up in the hospital, haven’t you?”

Li Li gave an awkward smile and said quietly, “Teacher, don’t expose me; I just said I’m very obedient.”

It seems that old people like to call out young people, and as soon as Professor Guo saw the doctor, he said, “Doctor, don’t listen to her. This little girl is not obedient at all. You can’t be deceived by her; you have to be strict with her.”
