Chapter 60: Requesting Dr. Fang's Intervention

Page 1/3

“Zhiyan, what have you been doing at the hospital?”
“Why did you take so much money?”
“You wouldn’t have, would you?”
Jiang Xu looked at her son with some worry.
Where can an intern who just started at a hospital get a salary raised to two thousand, plus a ten-thousand-yuan bonus?
Although she wasn’t familiar with this field, that solid ten thousand yuan right there!
If it were her husband, that heartless man wouldn’t even earn ten thousand in a whole year.
Has her son become so successful?
Or did he dare to reach out his hand?
Seeing Jiang Xu’s worried expression, Fang Zhiyan quickly reassured her, “Mom, don’t worry. This was personally given to me by the director.”
“This money is clean; I earned it with my own abilities.”
“Many hospitals and institutions now want to recruit me. Your son is really impressive.”
Hearing this, Jiang Xu finally let out a sigh of relief.
She gently reached out and took her son’s hand, speaking earnestly, “Son, you’re a doctor.”
“Your grandfather was a doctor all his life and never took an extra penny. You must never earn money that weighs on your conscience.”
“Mom, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing!”
Fang Zhiyan nodded.
But Jiang Xu’s expression still didn’t improve.
She sighed softly and turned back into the room.
After a while, she came out dragging a box of things.
“What’s this?”
Fang Zhiyan was a bit stunned.
He didn’t remember having any of these things at home.
“These are all kinds of miscellaneous food items.”
Jiang Xu opened the box, revealing various kinds of milk, poultry, fish, packaged goods, and rice.
The variety was so numerous it made Fang Zhiyan’s head spin.
All this alone could feed their family of three for half a month.
Where did all this come from?
Fang Zhiyan looked puzzled.
Seeing that he had no idea, Jiang Xu sighed again.
“This afternoon, a few men with tattoos came by, asking if you lived here.”
“They seemed to be patients you had saved.”
“When they first came, they brought cash—loads of money.”
“They said it was to give to you, but I refused to accept it no matter what.”
“Later, they brought watches, gold, and jewelry, and I still wouldn’t take any of it.”
“It was a deadlock until I said, if you really want to give something, just bring some food. So they bought all these.”
After speaking, Jiang Xu looked at Fang Zhiyan, “Tell me, are these people you know?”
“If you don’t know them, I’ll send all this stuff back.”

Fang Zhiyan was momentarily stunned, then quickly realized.
With tattoos, it was probably the Qinglong Gang people.
Previously, there was that Gu Ta who wanted him to be their personal doctor for the Qinglong Gang, but he had declined.
Now, sending these foods was likely a gesture of gratitude for stitching up their wounds.
Fang Zhiyan forced a smile, “I know them. Just keep it, but if you see them again, don’t let them bring more.”
Jiang Xu nodded. Seeing her son was not surprised, she relaxed.
The family sat down to eat together again.
Life at the Fang family was gradually improving.
At least there was no worry about food and drink, and with that ten thousand yuan, they had a bit of a safety net.
But to truly live well, there was still a long way to go.
Fang Zhiyan pondered, determined to work even harder from now on.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xu put away the ten thousand yuan.
“Zhiyan, I’ll keep this ten thousand yuan for you first, to save for when you marry.”
“If you really like Teacher Xu, settle things with her soon so I can feel at ease.”
Fang Zhiyan nodded, a little shy.
Just as they were chatting, his phone rang.
Looking down, it was a call from Xu Qiushuang.
Fang Zhiyan’s heart leapt with joy, and he hurriedly stepped outside with the phone.
Watching his back, Jiang Xu first chuckled lightly, but soon her eyes showed a trace of worry.
Those two kids, they might not make it after all.
Outside the door, Fang Zhiyan quickly answered the call.
“Qiushuang, I came to pick you up from work this afternoon. Why didn’t you respond? What are you doing?”
Fang Zhiyan was in a fairly good mood.
After all, having ten thousand yuan in hand gave him confidence to pursue the young lady.
But on the other end, Xu Qiushuang was silent.
The atmosphere turned somewhat awkward.
Fang Zhiyan’s heart sank; he asked softly, “Qiushuang, what’s wrong?”
“Zhiyan.”
Xu Qiushuang’s voice came through, choked with sobs.
This immediately made Fang Zhiyan’s heart leap to his throat.
“Zhiyan, my grandparents don’t agree to us being together.”
“Sorry, I believe you’ll find someone better.”
Buzz!
After she spoke, Fang Zhiyan’s mind went blank.
What?
Their love just started and it’s already doomed?
“What’s going on? Why don’t they agree to us being together?”
Fang Zhiyan struggled to calm his emotions and asked as calmly as he could.
On the other end, Xu Qiushuang cried uncontrollably.

“My grandparents don’t agree. They say you live too far from my home.”
“They say you don’t have a house.”
“And they say if you want to marry me, you need a dowry of a hundred thousand yuan. Otherwise, it’s impossible.”
“W-what? One hundred thousand?”
Fang Zhiyan opened his mouth, stunned, and looked up blankly.
Suddenly, he recalled the hundred thousand yuan that Rong Haiming gave him today.
If he had accepted that money, would he be able to be with Xu Qiushuang?
Fang Zhiyan clenched his fist tightly. “I know I don’t have a house.”
“But I will work hard.”
“A hundred thousand yuan dowry—I simply can’t afford it.”
“Can you wait for me, half a year? Just half a year, and I’ll gather the hundred thousand and marry you in style, okay?”
Fang Zhiyan felt a strange mixture of emotions.
He thought Xu Qiushuang was his first love, even if it was only a few days.
But at least he should persist and show his determination.
“Can I come see your grandparents now?”
Fang Zhiyan said, “I’ll try to reason with them. They can’t be so unreasonable.”
“No, it’s no use. You can’t come up with a hundred thousand. They won’t agree.”
Xu Qiushuang’s voice was choked with tears.
“Why does it have to be a hundred thousand?”
Fang Zhiyan was pained.
But soon, he recalled some odd things.
He and Xu Qiushuang had only been together for a little over ten days.
Even in love, they wouldn’t be so quick to break up.
At the very least, they should wait for him to mature and grow.
If they weren’t willing to wait, then her grandparents must have already found someone else for her!
Realizing this, Fang Zhiyan’s face darkened again.
“Did your grandparents find someone else for you because they don’t agree to me?”
He asked painfully.
After all, Xu Qiushuang and he hadn’t met much these past few days and rarely contacted each other. Most likely, she was going to blind dates behind his back.
Sure enough, after his words, Xu Qiushuang fell silent.
“Yes, they found someone for me. Tomorrow we’re buying jewelry, the engagement is tonight, and the dowry will be moved over the day after.”
Fang Zhiyan’s body stiffened. Instantly, a flood of complex emotions overwhelmed his mind.
Finally, he spoke slowly, “I’m coming to see you now. I want to see you one last time!”
At the same time, at the Qinglong Gang headquarters in Jiang’an City,
Gu Ta looked anxious and said, “There’s another fight tonight. Miao Susu, take people and invite Doctor Fang over.”
“Remember, invite him—quickly!”
