Xie's mother was clamoring to be discharged from the hospital. Wang Gang persuaded her in every possible way to stabilize her, and then called Xie Meilan.
After Xie Meilan learned about the situation, she had to put down her work and went to her leader Lu Jie to ask for leave.
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, something happened to my mother in the hospital. Can I get off work early today?"
"Are you okay? Do you need my help?" Lu Jie asked.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your concern. I can handle it," Xie Meilan said.
After Lu Jie pondered for a moment, he said: "I just have to go out to do something, so I'll give you a ride!"
Xie Meilan was a little hesitant. She knew that Lu Jie had a crush on her. Although the two of them kept a distance during normal work, Lu Jie's concern from time to time still exceeded the limit that a boss should have for his subordinates.
"Don't bother Mr. Lu, I'll just take a taxi to the hospital."
Lu Jie smiled and said, "It's not too much trouble. I'm just on my way. Let's go! Don't waste time."
Seeing that Xie Meilan couldn't refuse Lu Jie's kindness, she had no choice but to accept it.
The two walked out of the company together and took the elevator downstairs. Many colleagues saw it along the way, and there were also people whispering behind their backs, speculating on the relationship between Xie Meilan and Lu Jie.
Going down to the underground garage, Lu Jie opened the door of his Land Rover and invited Xie Meilan to get in, acting very gentlemanly.
Xie Meilan hesitated slightly, but still got on the passenger seat. After getting in the car, she looked around at the luxurious decoration inside the car, her envy fleeting.
After Lu Jie got in the car, he saw that Xie Meilan was not wearing a seat belt. He did not remind her, but directly stretched out his hand to help Xie Meilan fasten her seat belt in a very ambiguous gesture.
"Thank you Mr. Lu, I can do it myself."
Xie Meilan bumped into the little deer and declined Lu Jie's "kindness" with some embarrassment.
"Sit tight, I'm driving." Lu Jie started the car and drove out of the garage, as if everything was normal just now.
"Is your mother's illness getting better? Do you want me to recommend some professional professors for you?" Lu Jie asked while driving.
Xie Meilan's face turned gloomy when she thought of her mother's illness.
"My mother has advanced lung cancer. The doctor said that the cancer cells have metastasized and there is no way to operate."
Lu Jie said oh, and then said: "I know a lot of friends in the hospital. I can help you find out what treatment options are available for your mother."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Xie Meilan said excitedly.
"You're welcome, I don't know if I can help you." Lu Jie smiled.
Along the way, Lu Jie discussed work with Xie Meilan again. After all, it meant don't worry about work, he would help take care of it.
Although Lu Jie and Wang Gang said similar things, Xie Meilan always felt at ease and her emotions really calmed down.
The Land Rover quickly drove to the entrance of the hospital. Xie Meilan saw Wang Gang carrying a duffel bag and standing on the roadside with his mother from a distance.
"Mr. Lu, my mother is right in front, please drive over."
Lu Jie also saw the person and drove his car to the side of the road.
Xie Meilan got out of the car anxiously and shouted to her mother: "Mom, why did you run out of the hospital?"
Mother Xie glanced at the car and Lu Jie inside, and asked, "Who is this?"
Wang Gang also looked at Lu Jie.
Lu Jie got out of the car generously and greeted Xie's mother: "Hello, aunt, I am Xie Meilan's colleague. I will send her here on the way."
Wang Gang looked Lu Jie up and down. He was wearing a custom-made suit, meticulously styled hair, and the Vacheron Constantin on his hand, all of which showed his status as a wealthy man.
"This is Mr. Lu, my leader." Xie Meilan supported her mother and introduced.
"Hello, Mr. Lu, our Meilan didn't cause you any trouble, did she?" Mother Xie said politely.
"What did Auntie say? Meilan is my capable subordinate and has helped me a lot." Lu Jie asked:
"Auntie, where are you going, should I see you off?"
Xie's mother turned to Xie Meilan and said, "I am too bored staying in the hospital and want to go home."
"Mom, please stop making trouble, okay? Let's stay in the hospital for treatment peacefully," Xie Meilan advised.
"If my illness cannot be cured, I will die at home even if I want to die." Mother Xie said stubbornly.
Xie Meilan frowned when she heard this. When she saw Wang Gang standing beside her, she said angrily: "Shen Lei, what's the matter with you? You're fooling around with my mother. If something happens to my mother, can you be responsible?"
Wang Gang was stunned, not expecting that Xie Meilan's anger would burn him.
"Meilan, don't blame Shen Lei. It was my decision to go home. If Shen Lei hadn't gotten off work early today, I would have been discharged from the hospital." Mother Xie pulled her daughter and said.
"Mom, stop making trouble and follow me back to the hospital." Xie Meilan's tone softened and she spoke with a crying tone.
"Mom doesn't want to go back. I know my illness myself, so there's no point in spending that wasted money." Mother Xie sighed and said:
"Meilan, I just want to go back to my hometown and live there for a while."
"How can I trust you to go back alone?" Xie Meilan panicked.
Lu Jie said at this time: "Meilan, do you think this is a good idea? I know someone who runs a private nursing home. You can send my aunt there. There are not only professional medical staff there, but it is also close to Tongren Hospital. If anything happens,
, the nursing home has an ambulance that can take you directly to the hospital.”
Xie Meilan's eyes lit up and she asked: "Mr. Lu, will it trouble you too much?"
"No trouble, just a phone call."
Lu Jie took out his mobile phone and walked to the side to make a call.
"It's expensive to live in a nursing home! Let's forget it." Xie's mother felt sorry for money.
"Mom, we can't discuss this matter. We can either stay in a nursing home or a hospital. We can only choose one of the two!"
Mother Xie looked at Wang Gang again.
"It's not bad to live in a nursing home. Meilan and I feel more at ease. We can go visit you after get off work." Wang Gang also advised.
Seeing that both her daughter and son-in-law said so, Xie's mother could only agree to go to a nursing home. Lu Jie quickly made the call and came back.
"I told my friends that the nursing home also has a special care unit, and we can move in today."
Xie Meilan was overjoyed and said: "Thank you Mr. Lu, please send me the address and we will take a taxi ourselves."
"Don't take a taxi. I'll drive you there myself. I'll say hello to my friend and ask him to take care of my aunt," Lu Jie said enthusiastically.
Wang Gang narrowed his eyes and felt that Lu Jie was too enthusiastic.
Mother Xie also felt the same way. She looked back and forth between her daughter and Lu Jie.
Xie Meilan didn't feel anything at all. She gladly accepted Lu Jie's kindness and personally helped her mother sit in the back seat. She also asked Wang Gang to sit in the back to accompany her mother. She sat in the passenger seat next to Lu Jie.
Along the way, Xie's mother intentionally or unintentionally inquired about Lu Jie's situation. She found out that he was married and later divorced, and that his wife was living abroad with their children. The sadness on Xie's face never dissipated.
The sanatorium recommended by Lu Jie is indeed very close to the hospital. It only takes about ten minutes to drive there. It is hidden next to a community and has a professional medical environment. However, the price is not low.
"The accommodation fee for the special care unit is 50,000 yuan a month, which does not include the medical supplies used." Xie Meilan was surprised when she saw the quote from the nursing home.
"You are Mr. Lu's friend. This is already a discounted price. In fact, our special care unit is in short supply and many people are queuing up."
Xie's mother has been arranged to be admitted to the ward, and Xie Meilan has no face even if she wants to go back on her word.
When Wang Gang saw the quotation, he thought it was normal. The special-grade nursing home was indeed discounted at 50,000 yuan a month, but the treatment was still a fracture.
"I will take care of the money and let my mother-in-law live in peace." Wang Gang said to Xie Meilan.
Xie Meilan obviously didn't believe Wang Gang's words, but still let her mother stay.
