Miao Dongdong, though finding it unbelievable, immediately called Xu Jingyin. Besides Xu Jingyin, she couldn't think of anyone else who would suddenly transfer so much money to her bank card. However, Xu Jingyin's phone was off, and she couldn't reach her at all.
"Jingyin, why is your phone off? To scrape together money for Grandma's treatment, you didn't sell yourself, did you?"
Thinking of this possibility, Miao Dongdong became even more anxious. She couldn't even bother to pay for Xu Jingyin's grandmother's medical expenses and quickly called Meng Baobao for help.
To prevent Miao Dongdong from being unable to contact her if something happened to her grandmother, Xu Jingyin had long ago asked Miao Dongdong to save Meng Baobao's phone number. However, Miao Dongdong had never called Meng Baobao before.
The call was quickly connected, and Miao Dongdong said with a trembling heart:
"Doctor Meng, hello, my name is Miao Dongdong, I am Xu Jingyin's old hometown sister. I have an urgent matter to find her, but her phone is off. Can I trouble you to help?"
Meng Baobao was seeing a patient at the time and, without thinking much, said without hesitation:
"Nurse Xiao Xu specifically asked for leave to go to the bank. Her phone might be out of battery. Shall I ask her to contact you when she returns?"
Miao Dongdong was so anxious she was crying, choked with sobs, "If we wait any longer, her entire future might be ruined. Because... because she actually transferred two million to me just now,呜..."
"Two... two million?"
Meng Baobao's heart leaped into her throat. After all, she knew Xu Jingyin's difficulties. When Xu Jingyin had asked for leave before, she had even subtly asked if Xu Jingyin was short of money and needed help. Now, thinking back, Xu Jingyin's evasive gaze and guilty expression when she refused her clearly indicated something was wrong.
At this moment, Meng Baobao couldn't even bother to comfort the sobbing Miao Dongdong. While quickly hanging up the phone, she called Chen Xiao:
"Doctor Chen... Doctor Chen, is Nurse Xiao Xu... is Nurse Xiao Xu with you?"
Chen Xiao had injured quite a few patients when he left the Central Hospital. Those patients were still causing trouble in the dean's office, and they had also approached Meng Baobao. Therefore, Meng Baobao could only place her hope on Xu Jingyin and Chen Xiao being together.
At this time, Chen Xiao and Xu Jingyin had already left the Fortune Bank and were driving back to the Central Hospital.
Suddenly receiving a call from Meng Baobao looking for Xu Jingyin, Chen Xiao handed the phone to Xu Jingyin in the passenger seat without hesitation:
"Take it, Doctor Meng is looking for you."
"Oh."
Xu Jingyin obediently took the phone:
"Doctor Meng, what's the matter?"
Hearing Xu Jingyin's voice, Meng Baobao on the other end of the line was still worried:
"Are... are you alright?"
Xu Jingyin shook her head blankly:
"I... I'm fine!"
"That..."
Meng Baobao hesitated, as she had already guessed that the two million Xu Jingyin transferred to Miao Dongdong was likely borrowed from Chen Xiao. After thinking for a moment, she said in a muffled voice:
"If you're fine, hurry up and call your old hometown sister Miao Dongdong back. She called and couldn't reach you, and she was so anxious she cried."
"Okay... okay, thank you, Doctor Meng."
Xu Jingyin had actually wanted to call Miao Dongdong back long ago, but she had never dared to ask Chen Xiao for his phone. After ending the call with Meng Baobao, she nervously asked Chen Xiao:
"Doctor Chen... Doctor Chen, can... can I borrow your phone to make another call? Listen... listen to Doctor Meng say that Sister Dong can't reach me and was so anxious she cried."
Chen Xiao had excellent hearing and naturally heard what Meng Baobao said on the phone. He nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course, go ahead and call."
"Thank you."
Xu Jingyin gave Chen Xiao a grateful look and then, from memory, dialed Miao Dongdong's phone number.
To avoid disturbing Chen Xiao, she deliberately covered her mouth and spoke in a low voice:
"Sis... Sister Dong, I'm really sorry, my... my phone is out of battery."
"Wuwuwu—"
On the other end of the line, Miao Dongdong finally received Xu Jingyin's call and completely broke down emotionally. She squatted outside the payment window of Qingcheng City First Public Hospital and cried her heart out, regardless of her image. She cried until Xu Jingyin on the other end of the phone almost cried too, before she quickly found a secluded spot and nervously said:
"Jingyin, your grandmother only needs ten to twenty thousand for this hospitalization. Why did you transfer two hundred... two million to me? And... and where did you get so much money?"
Fearing that there might be someone else with Xu Jingyin, Miao Dongdong deliberately lowered her voice very, very low when she said this, as if she were guarding against a thief.
"I..."
Xu Jingyin, who was not good with words to begin with, was suddenly speechless. She subconsciously glanced at Chen Xiao before cautiously explaining to Miao Dongdong:
"That... that two million was actually a check from Doctor Chen that he transferred directly to me. You can transfer the remaining money back to me after my grandmother's hospitalization, and I'll return it to Doctor Chen."
When Xu Jingyin initially went to the bank to handle the check transfer, she had only intended to transfer twenty thousand yuan to Miao Dongdong. She planned to return the rest of the money to Chen Xiao immediately. However, Lin Wei's repeated刁难 completely disrupted her rhythm. By the time Zhang Liuqian handled it personally, a dazed Xu Jingyin accidentally transferred the entire two million to Miao Dongdong's bank card.
"This..."
On the other end of the line, Miao Dongdong was once again dumbfounded. She couldn't imagine who the Doctor Chen that Meng Baobao and Xu Jingyin were talking about was, or why he would casually lend two million yuan to Xu Jingyin. After a long pause, she couldn't help but cautiously whispered a warning:
"Jingyin, although I'm very willing to believe that Doctor Chen is a righteous and generous person, you can't judge a book by its cover. As a girl, it's not easy for you to be out there alone. You must be careful! Also, two million is really too hot to handle. After I pay the fees, I'll go to the bank immediately to transfer it. You should quickly return it to Doctor Chen."
To Xu Jingyin, who was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, Miao Dongdong's words were no different from speaking ill of Chen Xiao behind his back. She felt guilty and secretly glanced at Chen Xiao again, saying in a flustered manner:
"Don't worry, Sister Dong, I will."
Immediately after, after ending the call with Miao Dongdong, Xu Jingyin, even though she didn't believe Chen Xiao could hear Miao Dongdong's warning on the phone, still felt uneasy. She cautiously and proactively confessed to Chen Xiao:
"Doctor Chen... Doctor Chen, please... please don't be angry with Sister Dong. She... she's just too worried about me, which is why she suspects your motives for lending me money are impure and told me to be wary of you. And... and you were able to lend me money to treat my grandmother, I... I only have gratitude towards you, absolutely... absolutely no reservations."
In fact, even though Miao Dongdong spoke quietly on the phone and music was playing in the car, Chen Xiao still heard everything, word for word.
However, Chen Xiao didn't take Miao Dongdong's words to heart at all. After all, as Xu Jingyin said, Miao Dongdong was just too worried about Xu Jingyin.
Therefore, to avoid awkwardness, Chen Xiao had intended to pretend he hadn't heard anything.
But unexpectedly, Xu Jingyin was so honest that she "confessed" and betrayed Miao Dongdong. This made Chen Xiao quite speechless.
Just as Chen Xiao didn't know how to respond to Xu Jingyin, Bai Su suddenly called.
On the phone, Bai Su said with tears in her eyes:
"You brat, you've almost caused a huge disaster, do you know that? Don't come back until I notify you. I'll also try my best to keep it from your mother."
