That Kid Must Be Pretending
"So this is a million yuan!"
Tang Yu took the cheque from Xia Wentao and looked at it carefully, as if he was talking to himself. Then he smiled sarcastically. Under everyone's shocked gazes, he tore the cheque into pieces!
Watching him, Xia Wentao and everyone else in the room had their mouths wide open, as if they had suddenly seen a monster.
Everyone could surmise from Tang Yu's shabby appearance that he had no money. He was poor. One million yuan would be a giant sum of money to him. He could use five to six hundred thousand to buy a building in the suburbs and use the remaining money to start a small business. He would not have to worry about money for the rest of his life!
To their surprise, Tang Yu did not even blink as he tore up the cheque. How much courage did he have to do this?
They all asked themselves that if they were in Tang Yu's position, would they be able to do what he did just now?
Hu Desheng shook his head in disbelief. Wang Xiuhee sighed to himself. The expression on Xia Wentao's face changed. The three of them realized that they could not do what Tang Yu had done.
At the same time, Xia Bing and Wang Xintong's eyes sparkled with a strange light. They did not expect Tang Yu to be so unyielding. It made them look at him in a new light. He was a real man!
"One million yuan is not a small amount of money, but you are still not satisfied?" Xia Wentao asked the young man coldly. "Don't be so greedy. Forget one million. You won't get a single dime out of me!"
Xia Wentao refused to give up his stance as he stared at Tang Yu. He wanted to know who this man was. Did he really not care to possess one million yuan?
Tang Yu looked at Xia Wentao like he was looking at a clown. He did not treat Xia Wentao as if he was a powerful figure at all. He simply rolled the pieces of the cheque into a ball and threw it into the trash can. Then he snorted coldly. "You don't even have a hundred billion yuan. What do you want to say? That just because you have money, you are better than me?"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked at his audacity.
Tang Yu's eyes turned chilly. "Yes, I admit that I don't have money. But I don't need the money you give me, like I'm a beggar. I have hands and feet, and I can make money myself when I want. I don't need you to humiliate me. I only saved your daughter because I was nearby. I didn't think of any payment. A businessman like you, with his filthy thoughts, his biases about others, uses people to his benefit.
Perhaps the world really has become so twisted now. Our ancestors left with us the traditional virtues of helping others, were all these values eaten by dogs? If I watched your daughter die in front of me, would it have pleased you? You think everyone will come to your daughter's aid? Don't worry. If next time I see your daughter about to die in front of me... I won't come forward to help!"
Tang Yu sneered. He glanced at Xia Wentao and walked out without any hesitation.
"Tang Yu, don't go!" Xia Bing became anxious as she saw him leave. However, she had not recovered yet and could not get up. She looked at her father in anger and said, "Dad, look at what you have done! How can you behave like this!"
Xia Wentao's eyes were also uncertain at this moment. Could it be that he has misjudged the boy?
Impossible!
Even if this man had not been sent by his opponent, he must have approached his daughter for his own benefit. Why would someone help her without wanting anything in return? That's right, he must be pretending. He was just saving face now!
Seeing Tang Yu leave, Wang Xintong hurriedly chased after him. "Tang Yu, wait..."
"Oh? It's Specialist Wang. What do you want?" Tang Yu asked her with a smile when saw Wang Xintong run after him,.
"Specialist Wang? You can just call me Tong."
As she spoke, Wang Xintong's pretty face turned red. She looked at Tang Yu and said, "About what happened inside, don't take Uncle Xia's words to heart. He cares too much about Bingbing. And thank you for what you did earlier. If it wasn't for you, I..."
"You're welcome. Didn't you already thank me?" Tang Yu said indifferently. "Besides... That man is not worth my anger."
Wang Xintong pulled on her lapels and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well, I'd like to thank you properly. If you have time, can I treat you to a meal?"
It was the first time she was asking a boy out, so she was very shy. But she had to admit, she was very curious about this man.
"Of course. I will let you know." Tang Yu smiled and looked back at the beaming face of Wang Xintong. After the two of them exchanged phone numbers, Tang Yu left.
Inside the Director's office in Central Hospital
Wang Xiuhee sighed and looked at Xia Wentao. He said, "Wentao, you have gone too far this time. I advise you to apologize to Young Friend Tang Yu as soon as possible. Otherwise you might regret this incident in future."
"Elder Wang, are you serious?"
Xia Wentao shook his head and said, "That kid doesn't seem to have any known family background. What will I regret? And you know, it hasn't been very peaceful for me recently. Someone is targeting me again. There are too many people who covet my daughter's beauty and want to use any opportunity possible to build a relationship with me, so I have to be wary of them."
"Wentao, it's not right for you to judge everyone like this."
Wang Xiuhee sighed. "Let me tell you a truth. Young Friend Tang Yu's medical knowledge has reached a very profound level. Even I cannot compare to him. Your daughter's illness was unique and with the idea he gave me, I performed the treatment on her. it wasn't for him, I'm afraid your daughter would have become a corpse by now."
"What... you are saying that the kid... "
Hearing Wang Xiuhee's words, Xia Wentao's body trembled. He said with a face full of disbelief, "Elder Wang, you are not lying to me, right? That kid is so young, how could he be a Medical Dao Expert?"
"You can't judge a book by its cover. Don't you understand that by now?"
Wang Xiuhee continued slowly, "Because of Young Friend Tang Yu's prescribed method, your daughter's condition has alleviated. In future, as long as nothing unexpected happens, you only need to come to the hospital with her once every half a month. However if there is an accident like the one today and if she cannot be treated in time, she will most certainly die!"
"Elder Wang, don't scare me! What should I do then?" Hearing this, Xia Wentao immediately became anxious.
Wang Xiuhee replied helplessly, "You have no choice but to hire Young Friend Tang Yu as your daughter's caretaker. Even if something happens to your daughter, he will be able to save her life."
"This... I..."
Xia Wentao was conflicted. He had just offended him, and now he had to beg him. What nonsense was this? But for the sake of his daughter, he needed to do it! Would this count as inviting a wolf into his house?
When he returned home, Xia Wentao's eyes darkened. He asked his bodyguard, "Han Feng, what do you think about that kid?"
Han Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly. "The boy was interesting. I didn't expect him to be so stubborn and for Elder Wang to have such high regard for him. I seem to have misjudged him. Next time, I won't behave like I know better..."
"I too did not expect it. One really shouldn't judge a book by its cover."
Xia Wentao sighed. "You have to do two things for me. First, go and find this young man. Tell me immediately when you do. You must treat him with respect. Be as respectful as possible, it won't be excessive. After that, send someone to find the person who did this to my daughter. I can't forget what happened tonight. Someone dared to drug my daughter. How dare they!"
Xia Wentao's face was red with anger.
"Yes!" Han Feng's heart did a shiver as he heard the words.. Elder Wang, the Miracle Doctor of Xia Country, held Tang Yu in high respect. Tang Yu's future was limitless!
