Chapter 383: It’s simple; just look for my cousin.

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Hello, Sister Pei Ge, how are you recently? Is auntie doing fine?”

Qin Qitong’s upbeat voice came through the receiver, jolting Pei Ge out of her reverie.

“Mhm... not good...” she spoke her true thoughts aloud, not bothering to hide her problems in her depression.

“Huh? Is it because of the money? If that’s the case, you don’t have to worry at all! I will get you the money!” Qin Qitong happily exclaimed. Pei Ge could hear the happiness in her voice.

Her nose immediately tingled when she heard her.

“Thank you... Thank you, Qitong...” She could not help her tears from falling any longer.

“Hm? Sister Pei Ge, are you crying?” Qin Qitong asked in confusion, continuing, “Could it be that you’re crying tears of joy?”

Before she even heard an answer, she immediately corrected herself.

“That’s not right. From your voice, it doesn’t sound like a cry of joy.”

If not for feeling absolutely awful right now and not being in the mood to correct her office friend, Pei Ge would probably be stuck between laughing and crying.

“Sister Pei Ge, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!” her office friend asked in a fluster. “Where are you right now? I’ll go to you—”

She did not get to finish her words as she heard Pei Ge sniffle, “Qitong, what should I do? Even if I have the money now, I still can’t cure my mother’s illness...”

“Huh?” She was immediately stunned. “How can that be? Isn’t the hospital a place for seeing the doctor and getting treated? What illness can’t be treated with money?”

“But... I just came out from the capital’s main hospital. They said that the doctor who specializes in gastric cancer is not free to operate on my mom, but my mom can’t wait any longer...” she could not stop her tears from spilling as she spoke these words.

No one would be able to remain calm after experiencing what she had experienced today.

Qin Qitong immediately screamed in surprise when she heard this.

“The capital’s main hospital?” Trying to confirm something, she repeated, “Sister Pei Ge, did you just mention the capital’s main hospital?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Ha ha!” Qin Qitong unexpectedly laughed aloud after confirming this.

“Qitong, what are you laughing at?” She could not wrap her head around her sudden laughter.

“Sister Pei Ge, you don’t have to worry anymore! If it’s the capital’s main hospital, my cousin is very familiar with it!” Qin Qitong shouted excitedly.

“Huh?” She got more confused at this.

“The director of the capital’s main hospital is the father of my cousin’s classmate. While my family also knows that director, we are not that close. You can go straight to my cousin, and everything will be settled!” Qin Qitong happily explained.

Hearing this, she first beamed in happiness and then frowned.

Ji Ziming? Go look for that annoying fellow?

But... I rejected him so resolutely the last time and didn’t grab his outstretched helping hand... Now...

All of a sudden, she did not know how to explain this to her.

Luckily, she did not need to speak because Qin Qitong spoke again, “Sister Pei Ge, wait a moment; I will call my cousin now!”

“Qitong, really, thank you so much this time...” She felt the warmth in her heart spreading outward, and that it was about to overflow from utter gratefulness toward Qin Qitong.

“Aye! It’s nothing much. I’ll hang up now and call you back later.”

With that, she quickly hung up.

Pei Ge felt reassured by the phone’s busy tone.

She sat on a long bench outside the capital’s main hospital and quietly waited for her office friend’s phone call.

Although the temperature was pretty low right now, and she was sitting on the icy surface of the long bench, she still felt the warmth radiating from inside her body. A light smile formed on her lips.

However, she soon started having misgivings when she still did not receive Qin Qitong’s phone call despite sitting there for quite some time.

“Why is she still not calling back...” She cupped the phone in both her hands and stared unblinkingly at it.

Her phone finally lighted up under her soft muttering.

Only one note of the ringtone managed to sound as she promptly answered the call.

“Hello, Qitong! What did your cousin say?” she asked nervously after answering the call.

Unexpectedly, the usually hasty and outright girl was faltering today.

“... Sister Pei Ge...”

Her heart’s anxiety and uncertainty grew stronger at the girl’s hesitant speech, and she quickly prompted, “Mhm? Qitong, what’s wrong?”

“My cousin, he...”

“Qitong, just tell me the result straight. Did your cousin not agree?” She forcibly squeezed out these words from her mouth and then pressed her lips tightly together.

Although she had rejected that annoying fellow’s offer of help initially, she would really grumble at him if he were to reject her request through Qin Qitong.

“Of course, not; of course, not. My cousin may look cold, but he’s not a bad person...” Qin Qitong hastily defended her cousin upon hearing her grim tone.

Pei Ge’s eyes immediately lit up at her words. She then asked with anticipation, “So he agreed?”

“Er... not exactly,” the girl muttered a little awkwardly.

“... What is your cousin’s stance, then?” She was totally made muddle-headed by Qin Qitong’s paradoxical reply. It isn’t this and it isn’t that, so which is it?!

“My cousin, he told me to let you say this to him in person. If you go over, he’ll mostly likely agree...” Qin Qitong explained in resignation. She was faltering moments ago because she did not know how to break this news to her.

She herself was also perplexed on why her cousin would insist on having Pei Ge put her request to him in person.

“I am to go see him in person?” Pei Ge was totally stunned by this.

What does that annoying fellow mean?
