Chapter 1138: I Hear He’s a Rich Young Master
After stepping out of the room, Ning Shu bumped into Fang Feifei who had come to visit Zhu Yanqiu. Fang Feifei was wearing a woolen coat and a red scarf that made her facial color look extremely good.
Ning Shu glanced at her, then brushed past her. Fang Feifei turned around and called out to Ning Shu, “Miss Nurse, wait a moment.”
Ning Shu held the basin as she turned to look towards Fang Feifei. Fang Feifei hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Yanqiu, I mean, that patient, how long will it take for him to recover fully?”
Ning Shu replied vaguely, “That depends on each individual patient’s recovery rate. I’m not sure either.”
Fang Feifei’s brows furrowed, then she asked straightforwardly, “Then how much would it cost to pay for his treatment until he recovers?”
When Ning Shu heard this question, she was taken aback. She glanced at Fang Feifei’s pretty face. It couldn’t be that Fang Feifei didn’t want to pay the hospital fee for Zhu Yanqiu anymore, right?
“I’m also not too sure about this. You’ll have to ask the doctor for the specifics, but you know it generally take three months to recover from common injures. His injury isn’t something that will heal within a day or two. He’ll need to recover properly.” As Ning Shu spoke, her eyes whirled, then she said in a slight gossiping tone, “I hear that he’s the young master of a rich family, so this bit of fees is probably nothing to him.”
Fang Feifei glanced at Ning Shu. “How do you know that he’s the young master of a rich family?”
“He was wearing a one thousand silver dollars German watch. If he wasn’t a young master, then what is he? However, he doesn’t seem to have much money. When you guys were beaten up in the march last time and ended up at the hospital, he couldn’t even afford the hospital fee.”
Ning Shu was gossiping a lot and it made Fang Feifei’s facial color worsen. Fang Feifei halfheartedly responded to Ning Shu, then turned to enter the sickroom.
Ning Shu scoffed. Zhu Yanqiu had been spending the money Zhu Suniang earned through sweat and tears. They had both been spending Zhu Suniang’s money on their dates, and now that she was having Fang Feifei dig out five silver dollars, Fang Feifei already couldn’t take it anymore.
Every time Zhu Suniang sent money, it was twenty silver dollars. How much tofu must she have sold in order to earn that much money?
Fang Feifei’s family circumstances were pretty good. If it weren’t for that, her family wouldn’t have sent a girl to school. However, they were nowhere close to rich. Otherwise, Fang Feifei wouldn’t be so conflicted over taking out five silver dollars.
Zhu Yanqiu acted very generous in front of Fang Feifei and with his natural aura added on, he didn’t look like someone that lacked money.
Zhu Yanqiu had never talked about his family in front of Fang Feifei. He kept from her the fact that he had a wife and child. His plan was simply to keep it secret from her as long as possible and stay with the person he loved for as long as he could.
