Chapter 651: Chapter 649: Kind Father 28
"Please leave, do not disturb the patient’s rest, or we will call the police." The nurse’s face was unpleasant.
They had complex feelings towards Wei Yue.
But Wei Yue was a patient, still a young girl, and it was certainly not okay for these media people to come in asking questions, as it would also affect other patients.
The media, upon failing to find Ah Chen and Ran Zhengfeng, came to the hospital where Wei Yue was.
Earlier, she had accepted the help of the internet celebrity Shuangshuang for a live broadcast, so her address and other information were made public, and she couldn’t blame others for digging into her information.
In the ward, Wei Yue became silent, not knowing why things had turned out this way.
She looked at the phone placed next to her. Because of the screenshot that Ran Chen had previously questioned her about, the phone now felt unbearably hot to the touch, and she hadn’t used it much since.
The media had found her, but what was the situation like online?
She bit her lip and picked up her phone, scrolling through it continuously. Her face quickly turned pale, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
After a long while, she put down the phone, her face showing a tragic smile. No wonder the media came looking for her.
No wonder the people at the hospital looked at her with complicated expressions; the phone was just a small matter now.
"Do you really have a sum of money? I heard it’s hundreds of thousands, and yet you’re still asking for donations?"
"Do you know this phone was a birthday gift for Ran Chen?"
The middle-aged woman on the adjacent bed was full of curiosity, looking at Wei Yue with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Previously, she had felt quite sympathetic for this young girl, thinking she was pitiful for being orphaned, but at least Ran Zhengfeng was there to take care of her.
Occasionally, a young man would come to see her, talking about Ran Zhengfeng’s wife’s and daughter’s situations, and she believed it, truly thinking that mother and daughter were harsh and mean-spirited.
Little did she know the truth would be like this.
Wei Yue’s eyes turned red, but she said nothing.
The man beside the middle-aged woman tugged at her and whispered, "Say a few less words."
"What if you anger her into something bad?"
The middle-aged woman, who initially felt a bit angry, immediately shut up, realizing he was right.
"Then apply for a room change for me, or else I won’t be able to hold it in." Her tone was quite wilful, glancing at the pitiful Wei Yue, yet feeling no sympathy in her heart.
Ha, sympathy? She saw her as a little white lotus.
She’s already this old and doesn’t know the weight of matters? She’s clearly pretending to be confused. Benefits to gain, yet she’s not the one hurt; saying a few fake apologies, thinking that clears her of responsibility?
Even if she’s unaware of Ran Zhengfeng’s family situation, she should know that his actions are harming Ran Chen and her mother, yet she still takes their birthday gift, shameless!
With hundreds of thousands in hand, she still asks others for donations, just like those with multiple houses but seeking help online.
Zhuo Qiaoqing’s article was angering to read, showing how much Zhuo Qiaoqing had endured over the years.
The middle-aged man, seeing his wife so indignant, knew she couldn’t hold it in without changing rooms, so he immediately went to apply for a room change at the hospital.
Primarily because he also feared strange people appearing and affecting his wife would be bad.
Not long after, the middle-aged woman was moved to a different room.
As such, only Wei Yue remained in the ward.
When Duan Mu arrived, he saw Wei Yue in tears.
"They went too far." Duan Mu was filled with rage, unable to bear seeing Wei Yue so fragile, but besides saying this, he didn’t know how to change any of it.
Now everyone thought Wei Yue was at fault, along with Uncle Ran.
That mother and daughter had deep plans, maybe they had prepared early for this day. Who else would keep all the receipts?
"Wei Yue, are you alright? The doctor said they will change your room later, so no one will find you anymore."
Wei Yue gently shook her head, "It’s understandable they hate me, after all, I do have the compensation from my dad, but that was exchanged with his life, and this phone..."
She hadn’t touched a cent of the compensation.
Originally, she intended to use it for this illness, but Uncle Ran’s words made her hesitate. Unless absolutely necessary, she really didn’t want to use the only thing her dad left for her.
"How can you be blamed?" Duan Mu said anxiously, "Did you do something? Uncle Ran actually had good intentions; he promised Uncle Wei to take care of you."
"I’m a bit tired." Wei Yue closed her eyes, not wanting to discuss this topic anymore.
She couldn’t think like Duan Mu; this matter couldn’t be reversed now.
Not just her, Uncle Ran would likely face great trouble too.
Duan Mu realized he shouldn’t say more, and soon helped Wei Yue change rooms, planning to accompany her at the hospital. But this wish didn’t come true; he quickly received a call from Duan Li. She unexpectedly returned from a business trip, not saying what it was about, but sounding urgent.
On the weekend, Ah Chen received a call from Wei Yue.
"It’s not necessary," Ah Chen said.
Wei Yue’s purpose this time was to return the phone to her, asking if she wanted money or a new phone.
"Nothing is the same anymore, and I don’t need it either; you should understand," Ah Chen added, "Ever since your father passed away, what I have, you have too; it’s all Uncle Ran making up for it, always putting you first. Wei Yue, I don’t believe you don’t understand this, don’t understand how much I dislike you."
"You understand, so you want to build a good relationship with me, why? Because you’re guilty."
"If our relationship improves, I won’t mind anymore, and it would be all the more justified for you to accept these things. I didn’t want to pay much attention to you, because the main cause of all this is your kind-hearted Uncle Ran, but since you insist on bothering me, I’ll just have to talk to you."
"The angrier I get, the more irritable I become, and you keep retreating, always accommodating, do you think this way you can lighten some burden? Make yourself seem more sensible?"
"What are you thinking, it’s not that simple."
"Just like this phone, I don’t care about your Uncle Ran anymore; those who abandon me cannot be kept, he harmed me and my mom a lot. Without him, my mom and I have a happy life."
"Now, we won’t compete with you for your Uncle Ran, so you should cherish it; he sacrificed a lot for you and hasn’t wronged you at all, practically holding you in his palm like a treasured gem."
"Don’t be ungrateful."
"Actually, I’m wondering how you managed to say those things when the internet celebrity Shuangshuang interviewed you last time. My mom didn’t like you, but she didn’t do anything heinous, how could you hate her so much? She had no obligation to help you; you should understand this. If my mom didn’t have those receipts and reacted quickly, what would have happened to our mother and daughter? Probably something like your situation now, or even worse. At least Ran Zhengfeng did some good, and you’re sick, pitiable, and there’s still some sympathy left for you."
"But it’s different for my mom and me, we would likely be universally condemned, and even my mom’s job would be significantly affected."
Wei Yue couldn’t find the words, finally opening her mouth to say sorry, but on the other end came the sound of a busy signal, unsure if the person on the other end heard it.
