Chapter 66 - 66 66 Kneel Down and Admit Your Mistake

66: Chapter 66 Kneel Down and Admit Your Mistake 66: Chapter 66 Kneel Down and Admit Your Mistake “Mr.

Song, I know we have offended you severely.

If I were in your position, I would make the same decision.

Right now, I truly can’t think of any way to mollify you, so I can only resort to something somewhat crass.

Please accept this check as an apology.

If you could treat my daughter, the consultation fee will be paid separately.”

Xiao Haiqing was indeed a significant figure.

At this moment, he spoke with skill and took a very humble attitude, and his approach was indeed impressive.

Song Xiaodong snorted coldly and said, “I don’t need money.”

Xiao Zhiming’s lips curled disdainfully as he spoke, “You might want to take a look.

This is ten million, not a small amount.

This money is sufficient to show our sincerity.” He did not believe that upon hearing a figure like ten million, Song Xiaodong could still act so pretentiously.

Thus, there was a hint of arrogance in his voice as he spoke.

Song Xiaoru, standing behind Song Xiaodong, was taken aback.

What was happening?

Offering ten million just to apologize seemed excessively generous.

Thinking back to their childhood, when she and Song Xiaodong depended only on each other, even a single yuan had to be spent carefully.

Now that she was grown up, she worked hard just to earn money to buy Song Xiaodong a house and save enough for him to get married.

After years of hard work, she had barely saved a few tens of thousands of yuan, but here they were, casually offering ten million.

If Song Xiaodong accepted it, he would become a millionaire instantly.

This was quite a shock to her.

Song Xiaodong’s eyes widened as he glared at Xiao Zhiming and shouted, “What I can’t stand the most is your kind of attitude, thinking that because you have money, the world should revolve around you, everyone should obey you, and as long as you offer money, even the biggest mistakes can be smoothed over.

Let me tell you, money might be omnipotent to others, but not to me!”

Song Xiaoru suddenly felt a sense of relief.

She had been accustomed to living a tough life, and suddenly having ten million might be too much for her to handle.

With Song Xiaodong not accepting the check, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Just as He Wenbai was about to ease the situation, Xiao Haiqing raised his hand and gave Xiao Zhiming a hefty slap.

“Smack!”

The slap was so crisp that everyone was stunned.

Xiao Zhiming, holding his face, stared dumbfounded at Xiao Haiqing.

“You foolish thing, I’ve told you not to look down on people just because you have a little money.

It was one thing not to know who Mr.

Song was in our household, but now that you clearly know Mr.

Song is such a remarkable person, to still act this way is utterly detestable.

If Mr.

Song refuses to treat Yingying, it will be your fault!”

“Uncle!

I didn’t!

I’m not…” Xiao Zhiming suddenly became extremely flustered.

“What a foolish thing to do.

Won’t you kneel down and apologize to Mr.

Song?” Xiao Haiqing raised his hand and slapped Xiao Zhiming again.

Xiao Zhiming turned to look at Song Xiaodong, his eyes clearly still harboring resentment, but he still knelt down with a thud and said, “Mr.

Song, I’m sorry, it was my fault.

I shouldn’t have been so disrespectful.

Please forgive me.”

For Xiao Zhiming, as Xiao Haiqing’s nephew and, given Xiao Yingying’s medical condition, the sole heir to the Xiao Family’s wealth, apologizing by kneeling to Song Xiaodong was a tremendous humiliation.

But with his status, it was expected that Song Xiaodong would grant some face.

He Fangbai quickly spoke up, “Mr.

Song, it’s inevitable for young people to misspeak, and a person of your stature shouldn’t stoop to their level.

The patient is in a critical condition, so I urge you to prioritize saving her life.”

Song Xiaoru looked at a man kneeling in front of her brother and quickly said, “Xiaodong, let it go.”

Xiaodong didn’t want to let Xiao Zhiming off so easily, but now that the other party was kneeling and begging for mercy, it seemed his honor had been restored.

He snorted and said, “If it weren’t for my acquaintance with your family’s Yingying, I would never agree to this.”

Xiao Haiqing, hearing this, was overjoyed and hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, Mr.

Song is magnanimous, please, please!”

Xiaodong visited the Xiao Family again, but this time it was completely different from the last; he and Song Xiaoru received the highest honors.

Xiao Haiqing was extremely careful in speaking with Xiaodong, fearing to offend him again.

Fortunately, there was He Wenbai, who now spoke to Xiaodong, expressing exactly what Xiao Haiqing wanted to hear.

He Wenbai asked, “Mr.

Song, this patient is so severely ill, can you really cure him?”

Xiaodong was not displeased by He Wenbai’s doubt, which was the true spirit of a seeker of medical knowledge.

He said, “To speak of curing, that’s too difficult, but alleviating the symptoms and saving his life, that I can do.”

In admiration, He Wenbai said, “To save a life under these circumstances is already quite remarkable.

I hope Mr.

Song will allow me to observe later.”

Xiaodong glanced at Xiao Haiqing and said, “You’ll need to ask the patient’s family about that, after all, it involves removing clothes, and whether they are willing to let you watch or not.”

He Wenbai found himself rather conflicted at the moment.

Normally, sickness knows no doctor, and as a doctor, the barrier between genders could be overlooked, but now, he was in the patient’s house to observe, not to operate, which made it somewhat awkward.

Xiao Haiqing said, “No problem, Vice President He is a doctor, not a stranger, it’s alright.”

He Wenbai was overjoyed, being able to witness Xiaodong’s medical skills again was definitely exciting for him.

The car soon arrived at the Xiao Family’s home, and Xiaodong was invited into Yingying’s room.

Seeing Yingying lying on the bed, pale as if near death, Xiaoru couldn’t help feeling deeply moved and said, “She looked fine just a couple of days ago, but now she’s so haggard.

Xiaodong, go ahead and treat her.”

At that moment, Yingying opened her eyes, saw Xiaodong, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

She said softly, “I knew you would come to save me.”

Xiaodong felt somewhat guilty and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll treat you right away, I won’t let you die so easily.” Then he waved his hand and said, “Sister, stay and help her take off her shirt, everyone else, please leave.”

Everyone left, but He Wenbai remained.

However, when Yingying saw he was still there, she whispered, “Why aren’t you going out?

I need to undress.”

He Wenbai suddenly felt awkward.

It seemed the girl didn’t want him to watch, and he could only walk out with deep regret.
