novelxo Chapter 228
Although Tian Sangsang often appeared with Ling Junze before, Shu Tian really didn't expect them to be a couple.
She was a little shocked for a moment. Without the desire to eavesdrop, she was about to turn around to leave when the door was suddenly opened from inside.
Tian Sangsang ran out with a blush on her face and was surprised to see her standing at the door. "Shu Tian?"
Their eyes met, and after a while, Ling Junze also came out. As they three stood facing each other for a moment, it was Shu Tian who came to her senses first and waved the bill in her hand. "I'm here to ask Doctor Ling about the hospitalization expenses."
With that, she glanced at them awkwardly. "I'm sorry to disturb you."
"It's okay." Tian Sangsang said to Shu Tian, but cursed Ling Junze in her heart, "It was all his fault that he insisted on messing around in the office. How awkward it is now as spotted." Then she couldn't stand the wired atmosphere and was about to leave. "You come in. I'll go first."
Shu Tian nodded at her, knowing that she was embarrassed and didn't say anything more.
Ling Junze's eyes were fixed on Tian Sangsang's fleeing figure until she was completely out of sight. For the first time, Shu Tian saw the flirtatious smile was drawn on his handsome and pure face.
Shu Tian had always thought that Ling Junze was different from all Li Han's friends. Now it seemed that he just hid it.
Ling Junze turned to give way to her. "Come in."
In the office, Shu Tian put the bill on the table in front of him. "Doctor Ling, I just went to the window to pay the bill and was told that all my father's expenses were charged to Li Han's account. I can pay for my father's expenses myself."
Since Ling Junze had already expected that she would say so, he certainly couldn't agree. He comforted her in a mild voice, "You don't have to care so much about the cost as I'm Han's friend. You are not an exception. As long as my friends come to my hospital, I wouldn't charge too much. I'll only charge for the medical materials and surgery. Don't take it too seriously."
"I know." Shu Tian sat up slightly, as if she would be more confident. "I mean, no matter how much my father's expenses are, I'd like to pay by myself."
"Shu Tian, I know you have some issues with with Han now, but this is what he asked me to do. He is also afraid that you will have a heavy burden to bear..."
"Junze." Shu Tian interrupted him, afraid that she would be heartbroken if he continued, "I know you are in dilemma, but please, please charge my father's expenses to my account."
Since Shu Tian had already used the word "please", Ling Junze could not say more. It would be useless to continue to persuade her. Actually, it was not difficult for him to charge the expenses to her account, but when would she and Li Han resolve their differences?
[...]
In the end, the expenses of Shu Tian father's were charged to her account. After Shu Tian paid, she was relieved. As Ling's Hospital was a private hospital, the medical insurance couldn't cover too much but about 30% of the total cost. She sorted out all the documents before she was about to return to the ward.
She didn't expect to see Li Han sitting on the sofa and talking to Shu Changlei in the wheelchair when she walked to the door of the ward.
Shu Tian was so frightened that she rushed in without thinking much. With the door pushed open and bouncing back against the wall, she immediately stepped in front of Shu Changlei and looked at Li Han face to face nervously and vigilantly. "What are you doing here?!"
The man raised his eyes and met her gaze, which was full of defense and suspicion. He narrowed his eyes mockingly and closed his eyes before he opened them. "I heard that Uncle Shu would be discharged from the hospital today."
"It's none of your business!" Shu Tian was a little emotional, afraid that Shu Changlei would be provoked again. "You can go."
Li Han followed her fingertips to look at the door. She came in so anxiously that the door wasn't even closed. Was she was afraid that he would do something bad to Shu Changlei?
It seemed that he was really not trustworthy at all in her heart.
Just as they stood facing each other in silence, Shu Changlei raised his arm to pull Shu Tian. "Tian, you come out. I have something to talk about with Mr. Li alone."
"Dad!" Shu Tian turned around and looked worriedly at his father, who was still slightly pale. "What are you going to talk about with him?"
"I said I have something to talk about with him!" Shu Changlei frowned, feeling a little irritated.
Shu Tian said nothing. She didn't want to argue with him as he had just recovered from a serious illness. "Okay, You can talk with him. I'll listen here."
"It has nothing to do with you. You come out." Seeing that she was about to say something else, Shu Changlei repeated in a heavy tone, "Come out!"
Seeing how resolute Shu Changlei was, Shu Tian took a deep breath. She turned her eyes to the man beside her. From the moment she entered the door, she was finally willing to speak to him calmly, "My father just recovered. Don't argue with him."
Li Han said coldly with a sneer, "Am I so disgusting in your heart?"
"You just promise."
As she walked out, she constantly turned around, which showed her distrust obviously.
It was not until the figure disappeared at the door that Li Han looked at Shu Changlei again. "Uncle Shu, as you see, Tian was blaming me."
Shu Changlei snorted coldly. "Do you think she should thank you?"
After that, he added, "Mr. Li, I know you've helped Shu Tian a lot. You've been bothering about the divorce case and her job. But Shu Tian has been always honest and simple since she was a child. She's not suitable for people like you who are so famous and successful."
"Uncle Shu, I do love Shu Tian. It has nothing to do with my background or status. I believe she also loves me instead of my money." At this point, Li Han was quite sure that she was different from all the women around him.
"It's easy for her, such a simple girl, to have a good impression of a successful man like Mr. Li," Shu Changlei retorted Li Han just with several words.
Li Han lowered his eyes and looked at his hands on the lap, suppressing the desire to say all his thoughts, and he just said, "Uncle Shu, I know you and auntie have a problem with me now. But I just come to visit you. I'll be relieved to see you discharged from the hospital in good health."
"I appreciate your kindness. But you don't need to come again." Shu Changlei also felt it was really a slap in the face for him that such a happy thing ended up like this.
Li Han didn't talk with Shu Changlei for a long time. The reason lay in two. First, there weren't too many common topics for them to talk about. Second, he didn't want the petite woman outside the door to worry too much.
Even Shu Changlei had experienced much of life, he still felt the pressure in front of Li Han since he was 1.88 meters tall with such an imposing manner. He couldn't imagine how Shu Tian got along with such a
man.
With the door opened, Li Han saw Shu Tian's nervous expression as expected.
Seeing Li Han come out, Shu Tian was about to enter the ward without saying anything but was stopped with her wrist grabbed by him. Thinking that he would say something unpleasant again her, she had already thought of the words to fight back, but there was no chance for them to come in handy. As Li Han said, "Stay at home for a week and wait for Uncle Shu to get better before returning to Imperial Villa."
Shu Tian was so surprised that she thought she was hallucinating since she didn't expect him to say so. But she quickly came back to her senses before she forcefully freed her hands from Li Han. And she walked past him with her head down, leaving only two cold words, "Got it."
