Chapter 516: Chapter 516: Take People’s Money to Help Them Avoid Disaster_1
After being persuaded by Wu Menglei’s mother, his father’s expression flickered a few times. Eventually, he sighed, waved a hand toward Wu Menglei’s mother in agreement.
A sigh of relief escaped Wu Menglei’s mother. Quickly, she guided Qin Sisi’s group into the inner room of the ward, where Wu Menglei still laid quietly on the bed, breathing faintly, his eyes tightly closed, not moving at all.
First worried about Wu Menglei’s coma, then going through the dangerous situation with Qin Sisi, rushing back nervously, and being questioned by Wu Menglei’s parents at the end, Ding Jiayuan’s emotions were up and down.
After the emotional rollercoaster, seeing her dearly loved Brother Menglei, the once bright girl couldn’t stop her eyes from reddening.
Qin Sisi walked to the front of Wu Menglei, turned her head to Ye You, who nodded slightly, jumped next to Wu Menglei’s pillow, and put his paw on the latter’s forehead. He released Wu Menglei’s soul from his Portable Space and slowly fused it into Wu Menglei’s own body.
Once Wu Menglei’s soul was completely returned to his body, Ye You released a green light that enveloped Wu Menglei to promote a full fusion between his soul and body.
They only had twenty minutes to spare. Sisi must not be disappointed.
As time ticked away, Ding Jiawang and Ding Jiayuan’s expressions grew more and more tense, and the anxiety and disappointment in Wu Menglei’s mother’s eyes, who initially held some hope, became thicker and thicker.
Finally, in the last minute, Wu Menglei’s eyelashes twitched slightly.
Ding Jiayuan exclaimed in surprise, "His eyes moved! Brother Menglei’s eyes moved!"
Wu Menglei’s mother quickly leaned forward, watching her son without blinking an eye.
Wu Menglei’s father, hearing Ding Jiayuan’s shout, entered the room with an air of skepticism and stood near the door to watch.
Ye You let out a sigh of relief, withdrew his Magic, lifted his head to Qin Sisi and let out a "meow" sound: "Done."
Qin Sisi noticed Ye You’s breathless voice and couldn’t help but feel a pang in her heart, hugging him tightly into her arms.
Wu Menglei’s eyelashes on the hospital bed twitched a few more times, and finally, he slowly opened his eyes.
Wu Menglei’s mother was a mixture of surprise and joy as she leaned over to look at Wu Menglei and whispered, "Menglei, are you awake?"
Wu Menglei looked at his mother for a moment, and softly called out, "Mom." His voice was weak, but very clear.
"Ah." Wu Menglei’s mother responded, tears of joy streaming down her face as she quickly wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes.
Ding Jiayuan, unable to hide her worry, ran over and asked, "Brother Menglei, how are you feeling?"
"Yuan Yuan." Wu Menglei called her name, but did not say anything else.
Pitying his own sister, Ding Jiawang couldn’t help but step forward and say, "Menglei, it’s Yuan Yuan who invited Master Qin to heal you."
Wu Menglei was surprised. His gaze swept over the faces of the people around his bed and finally landed on Qin Sisi.
He recognized everyone else, so this stranger must be the "Master Qin" Ding Jiawang had mentioned!
"Thank you." Wu Menglei looked at Qin Sisi, and said "thank you" in a voice that was neither loud nor quiet.
Although he didn’t mention who he thanked, everyone could tell from his eyes, and Qin Sisi sharply noticed that Wu Menglei’s gaze was full of curious and exploratory connotations.
Considering Wu Menglei’s parents’ previous questions and coldness, Qin Sisi didn’t plan to display any noble and selfless character. She said indifferently, "You’re welcome, simply doing my job."
Upon hearing Qin Sisi’s words, Wu Menglei’s father’s face changed. He then said, "Master Qin, Jia Wang, Jia Yuan, you guys can go and rest a bit on the couch outside. I’ll go find a doctor to check on Menglei."
Both Qin Sisi and Ding Jiawang could hear the meaning behind Wu Menglei’s father’s words. He still didn’t fully trust them, worried that, perhaps, Wu Menglei might not have recovered completely.
Only the young and naive Ding Jiayuan asked innocently, "But Brother Menglei is awake, isn’t he? Does he still need a check-up?"
Wu Menglei’s father’s expression turned a bit awkward.
Qin Sisi, pulling Ding Jiayuan’s hand, walked outside, saying as they moved, "Of course, your Brother Menglei has been in a coma for several days, it’s proper to give him a thorough examination."
Now, if Wu Menglei’s father wants an examination, then let there be an examination. Anyway, she wasn’t afraid. The most Wu Menglei could have is physical weakness, but definitely no other illnesses.
Wu Menglei’s father summoned the doctor. The one with the white coat, along with two nurses, rushed over. After several days with Wu Menglei mysteriously falling unconscious, they had felt somewhat helpless.
After a thorough examination, the doctor looked bewildered but was glad as he said to Wu Menglei’s parents, "Congratulations, the patient has essentially recovered. He’s just a bit weak and needs a few days of good rest."
Wu Menglei’s parents, faces filled with joy, thanked the doctor.
After the doctor and the nurses left, Wu Menglei’s mother gave her husband a look. Wu Menglei’s father, somewhat awkwardly, walked up to Qin Sisi and the Ding siblings and said, "This time, thanks to your help, Menglei was able to recover. We owe you our gratitude."
Ding Jiayuan, feeling overwhelmed, replied, "Oh no, please don’t mention it. We were only doing what we should."
Both Qin Sisi and Ding Jiawang gave Ding Jiayuan a helpless glance. Before any sort of formal relationship had been established, she had already lowered her posture too much. How would they respect her?
Clearing his throat, Ding Jiawang said, "Uncle, actually, we were just standing by. It’s all credited to Master Qin."
That statement was the truth. But it was also a small attempt at pleasing Qin Sisi, because she had previously stated "doing my job", which gave Ding Jiawang the impression that she wanted to earn more money.
Also, he had used a kiss with Yao Shujun as a condition to coerce Qin Sisi into promising help in the future. Even though he had already received Qin Sisi’s promise, he still needed to be cautious and maintain a good relationship with her just in case she changed her mind. After all, there was nothing he could do about it.
He had experienced Qin Sisi’s capabilities and, being an ordinary person, there was no need for him to antagonize a mage and bring trouble upon himself.
Wu Menglei’s father nodded and asked somewhat difficultly, "How much would Master Qin like as compensation?"
Qin Sisi thought for a moment before replying, "Previously, when I helped the Ding family, Mr. Ding gave me a hundred thousand. You can decide how much to give, Mr Wu!"
The face of Wu Menglei’s father turned very gloomy. The financial status of his family was far from that of the Ding family. Of course, they could afford a hundred thousand, but it hurt nonetheless.
He had not seen the efforts of Qin Sisi and the others and assumed that they took a stroll and accidentally saved Wu Menglei. Asking for a hundred thousand right off the bat seemed like a big ask to him.
