Chapter 837: Giving money
Inside the ward.
Lin Pingping had opened the door suddenly.
Geng Yuehua and Dong Xuebing quickly separated, and a string of saliva hung between their lips.
Dong Xuebing was embarrassed and cleared his throat awkwardly.
Lin Pingpign was also feeling the same as Dong Xuebing. She stuttered. “I… Sister Yuehua…. You two carry on… chatting. I… I will go out first.”
“Come in.” Geng Yuehua did not show any signs of awkwardness. “Where are Xinke and the rest?”
Lin Pingping was blushing as she looked at them. “Xinke, Aunty, and Uncle are in the Hospital Director’s Office.”
Lin Pingping was shocked to see Dong Xuebing and Geng Yuehua kissing. She did not expect this to happen. Not even in her dreams. When working in Yan Tai County, she found out Dong Xuebing was dating Xie Huilan when the latter testified for him. She also found that Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan married a while ago and were living together. She believed Geng Yuehua also knew about it. That’s why her mind went blank when she saw them kissing.
Dong Xuebing did not want anyone to find out about his relationship with Geng Yuehua. He thought of using BACK, but he did not. He might use it if it was Geng Yuehua’s parents. Lin Pingping finding out about their relationship was not that serious. He did not want to over-reliance on his powers. If he can settle the problem with his capabilities, he will not use his powers.
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and said. “Pingping…. This….”
Lin Pingping’s eyes were darting around. “Err…. I did not see anything.”
Dong Xuebing tried to find an excuse. “What happened earlier was….”
Geng Yuehua interrupted him. “Pingping, don’t tell anyone, including Xinke, about what happened earlier. Do you understand?”
Lin Pingping replied softly. “I know. I…. did not see anything too.”
Geng Yuehua nodded emotionlessly. “I don’t mind if you saw it. I don’t want the fourth person to know about this.”
“Sister Yuehua, I will keep this to myself.” Lin Pingping promised.
Geng Yuehua patted Lin Pingping’s hand and nodded.
Dong Xuebing was relieved as he knew Lin Pingping would not tell anyone else.
The ward became awkward after Lin Pingping entered the ward. Dong Xuebing did not know what to say, and Lin Pingping was uneasy. Only Geng Yuehua remained calm. The three looked at each other for a few seconds without saying anything.
One second….
Two seconds….
The door opened again.
“Sis.” Geng Xinke entered.
Geng Yuehua’s parents were behind Geng Xinke. “Eh? Xiao Dong is here.”
Dong Xuebing quickly greeted them. “Aunty, Uncle, I am here to visit Secretary Geng.”
Geng Yuehua’s mother was in a good mood. “Why are you standing there? Have you heard that Yuehua’s cancer was a misdiagnosis? Haha….”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “Yes.”
Geng Yuehua’s mother laughed. “I went to the doctor to ask about her condition earlier. He says Yuehua only needs to wait for her surgery wound to heal, and she will be fine. Xiao Dong, you are our family’s savior. I must thank you properly. Are you rushing back to the City? If not, let’s have dinner this evening.”
“Oh, I am not in a rush to return. I… I will accept your dinner invitation. “
“Great.”
Geng Xinke noticed Lin Pingping’s uneasiness and asked. “What’s wrong, Pingping?”
Lin Pingping quickly replied. “Nothing…. nothing…. I am thinking about our son.”
“Your parents are looking after him. What’s there to worry about? Do you want to fetch him tonight?”
“Oh, ok.”
They chatted for a while, and everyone was in a good mood.
Suddenly, Geng Yuehua’s father remembered something. He looked at her. “I need to say this. The doctors discovered you had cancer was not a misdiagnosis. They could not explain what happened and want us to take note of it, as it might happen again.”
Geng Yuehua’s mother got mad. “They are finding excuses for themselves.”
Geng Xinke laughed. “That’s right. My Sister will be fine. It’s not so easy to get cancer.”
Dong Xuebing suddenly remembered he needed to say something. “Aunty, Uncle, Secretary Geng, I need to say something. I believe all of you know I have learned some Traditional Chinese Medicine. I had examined Secretary Geng earlier. Although she is fine, we should not take chances. You might not like what I say, but it’s true. The next time, it might not be a misdiagnosis. After all, two hospitals had diagnosed her with cancer.”
Geng Yuehua calmly replied. “I had not told the Director the truth earlier. Six months ago, the hospital in Shanghai confirmed I had cancer.”
Geng Yuehua’s mother was shocked. “Then… then…. What is going on?”
“I don’t know.” Geng Yuehua closed her eyes. “It might be a miracle for me to survive.”
Geng Xinke was worried. “That means there might be a relapse.”
Dong Xuebing interrupted. “Yes. That’s why I thought of a solution.”
“What is the solution?” Geng Yuehua’s mother asked. “Tell us.”
Dong Xuebing took out a bank card. “This is my bank card. I had deposited three million RMB into it. Xinke, hold on to the card and buy some wild ginseng, meat Lingzhi, and other anti-cancer tonics for your sister. You must ensure she eats it every day for at least a year. Although these herbs are rare, it is still possible to get them if you are willing to spend.”
Geng Xinke pushed the card back to Dong Xuebing. “No…. We can’t accept it.”
Geng Yuehua’s father added. “How can we use your money?”
Dong Xuebing pushed the card to Geng Xinke. “Just take it. I also want Secretary Geng to recover. It’s a token, and I don’t mean anything. Let me know if you run out of money. My money is from legitimate sources, unlike the two million RMB in her account. Even the City Party Secretary and Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary know about this.”
“But….”
Dong Xuebing looked at Geng Yuehua. She must eat these herbs as she was not fully cured. His power only delayed her condition.
Geng Yuehua was looking gloomy. “Take it back.”
Lin Pingping added. “Xinke, saving Sister is more important now. We can repay Director Dong in the future.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “That’s right. Just treat it as you all borrowed it from me. You can return the money in the future.”
Geng Xinke thought for a while and accepted it. He ignored Geng Yuehua’s glare and thanked Dong Xuebing gratefully. “Director Dong, I…. I represent my family to thank you.”
