Chapter 869: Chapter 910: Smashing with Money

The man made Li Yifei’s hair stand on end; he also felt that the man before him was quite dangerous and subconsciously took two steps back.

People often have an inherent sense of danger, and if they pay heed to it, they usually can avoid dangers. But some people, even when they sense danger, still think they are tough enough to handle anything, and end up crashing headlong into trouble, eventually suffering for it.

This man seemed to be just like that. His name was Tang Xinghuai, and he was the nephew of a Deputy Director at the Health Bureau. With his uncle’s backing, he had gotten into the pharmaceutical business, selling medical equipment and drugs to major hospitals.

The profit margin in the pharmaceutical industry is quite substantial. As a result, after a few years, this guy had amassed an asset worth tens of millions. Unlike some business people who brag about having assets worth hundreds of millions but only a few million in liquid assets, he didn’t need much capital for his business, so his tens of millions were all in real savings and cash. This made him spend more freely and appear even more impressive than some big-time bosses.

He made sure to gift a portion of his earnings to his uncle, and his uncle, in turn, valued him highly and protected him on all fronts. Their collusion as government official and businessman was indeed mutually beneficial.

Such backing made Tang Xinghuai increasingly arrogant and dismissive of others. Perhaps elsewhere he wouldn’t dare to be so brazen, but in the hospital, he was quite unrestrained.

Even though he felt a bit intimidated by Li Yifei’s gaze, he quickly remembered this was a hospital, where from the director down to the doctors and nurses, everyone had to show him respect. Therefore, his courage quickly swelled.

With a swift move, he pulled a stack of cash out of his pocket and, with a flick, said, "Kid, I won’t stoop to your level. Here’s some money for compensation, hurry up and switch rooms, will you?" He seemed quite generous.

Li Yifei was in a good mood because of his daughter’s birth, but having this guy buzz around him like an annoying fly had put him off. Today, however, he wasn’t inclined to get into any confrontations, especially if it could scare his daughter, which would be a great sin. Hence, Li Yifei suppressed his anger and said, "I’m not changing rooms; you should look elsewhere."

"Kid, don’t be difficult. Okay, I’ll throw in an additional five thousand. That makes it ten thousand total. It’s like I’ve paid for your wife to have the baby, huh?"

Li Yifei, increasingly annoyed, said, "Don’t think you can flaunt your damn money with me. The last thing I lack is money."

Li Yifei had the confidence now. He had directly secured a billion dollars from the Yamaguchi Group; throwing money at him was really barking up the wrong tree.

Tang Xinghuai frowned. Anyone who could afford to stay here had to have some money, and throwing money around really was futile. Yet he didn’t consider Li Yifei worth much attention and said with an air of superiority, "Kid, I’m Tang Xinghuai. I spoke too rashly just now, but if you switch the room for me, I’ll owe you a favor. If you ever need anything, you can come to me, and I’ll return the favor."

"I don’t need it," Li Yifei said coldly. "I’m already being generous by not holding you accountable for frightening my daughter. You’d better stop bothering me here."

"F*ck, you’re really asking for it. I wasn’t joking. If you don’t agree amicably, I can easily have you thrown out just like that."

Li Yifei glared at him again and said, "Fine, then go and try."

After speaking, he took Su Yiyi by the hand and walked towards the ward. At the door, he turned to the head nurse and said slowly, "You’d best do your job properly."

The head nurse felt shaky under Li Yifei’s gaze and gave an embarrassed smile. She was the one caught in the middle of this mess; who would want to provoke trouble unnecessarily? But wasn’t this Tang Xinghuai someone she couldn’t afford to offend?

Since Li Yifei disagreed, the head nurse couldn’t force him and his family to leave, and she also felt that Li Yifei and his group were not to be trifled with. She suggested cautiously to Tang Xinghuai, "Boss Tang, how about I find you a standard room? A four-person room. We can let your family stay alone in it, and it will be like having a deluxe room."

Tang Xinghuai’s eyes bulged, "No way! Having my wife stay in a standard room would be an embarrassment to me. I must have a deluxe room, no matter what."

"But as you can see, all our deluxe rooms are occupied, and nobody wants to switch. This is really putting me in a difficult position. What if... these mothers with normal deliveries, they usually only stay in the hospital for a day or two before being discharged. As soon as someone leaves, I will reserve a deluxe room for you right away. How about that? Besides... your wife’s due date is still two days away."

Tang Xinghuai glared at Li Yifei’s ward, grinding his teeth, "Unacceptable, I want this room. Even if I have to fight for it, I’m going to take this room."

The head nurse was really at a loss with Tang Xinghuai acting like this. He was just being too arrogant, more so than even the wealthiest people in the city.

What the head nurse didn’t know was that there was an ulterior motive behind Tang Xinghuai’s actions.

Tang Xinghuai’s behaviour was actually aimed at Chu Xiaoyao. He had once done business with her father before he had made his fortune but was cheated by him, which bred deep-seated hatred in him towards Chu Xiaoyao’s father and an urge to find an opportunity for revenge. However, by the time Tang Xinghuai had made it big and was ready to settle scores with Chu Xiaoyao’s father, the man had died.

This had been a huge disappointment to Tang Xinghuai. He had gradually put the past behind him, but seeing Chu Xiaoyao today, he immediately recognized her and was thrilled. Since he could no longer take revenge on Chu Xiaoyao’s parents, he wanted to make this young girl suffer, whether by playing her or by tormenting her, as this would excite him.

He was adamant about driving out the mothers in the ward today and fighting for the room to make Chu Xiaoyao remember him. He wanted to see her frustrated and helpless, which would be a pleasure for him.

I have to say that Tang Xinghuai is a very twisted man, to actually do such a thing because of Chu Xiaoyao. It’s really hard for most people to understand.

"You don’t need to worry about it, I’ll handle this myself," Tang Xinghuai said to the head nurse before he turned and strode away.

Li Yifei entered the room with a smile already on his face and said, "It’s all good now."

Chu Xiaoyao still indignantly said, "Uncle, you’re too easygoing. You should have thrown that guy out just now."

Su Yiyi tugged at Chu Xiaoyao and chided, "How can you do that? You can’t just hit people. Besides, today Brother Li’s daughter was born. On such a celebratory day, how could we get into a fight?"

Li Yifei walked over to the bed and leaned down to look at his daughter, saying with a smile, "Exactly. My precious little girl has just been born. If I, as a father, were to get into a fight, wouldn’t I be setting a bad example for her? Has she eaten enough?"

Ye Yunzhu turned on her side, looking at her baby daughter, and said, "Yeah, she’s really well-behaved. She fell asleep after eating."

As soon as the child was mentioned, everyone gathered around and stopped talking about that scoundrel.

"Yunzhu, you’re so lucky. When I had my child, no one took care of me like this," Ning Xin’er said with a hint of sourness.

Ye Yunzhu smiled and replied, "I only have this one opportunity in my life, I’ll never have the chance to have another child, but you still can. You can have another one, and let Yifei take care of you just like this. Wouldn’t that be nice?"

Ning Xin’er immediately glanced at Li Yifei and said, "I’d like to, but I’m afraid someone might not agree."

Li Yifei laughed and said, "If you want to have a child, then let’s have one. The Li family has a big business, and of course, the more children, the better. One more isn’t enough; you should have ten or eight."

Ning Xin’er snorted in mock annoyance, "Do you think I’m a sow?" but inside, she was delighted.

Chu Xiaoyao hugged Ning Xin’er’s arm and laughed, "If there were such beautiful sows, then wouldn’t I be worse off than a sow?"

Ning Xin’er laughed out loud and said, "But you can’t have that many. Wouldn’t that mean I wouldn’t be able to do anything else but have babies?"

Ye Yunzhu chuckled softly and said, "You’re the one who wants to have a baby, and you’re the one who doesn’t. Aren’t you making things difficult for our husband?"

After chatting for a while, Chu Xiaoyao rubbed her belly and said, "I’m hungry, Uncle. We need to eat something. Especially Sister Yunzhu, if you don’t replenish her nutrients, how can she have enough breast milk?"

Li Yifei cried out in dismay, getting so caught up in excitement that he had forgotten this most important matter.

Ning Xin’er quickly said, "After just giving birth, she shouldn’t eat anything too greasy. Let’s give Yunzhu some millet porridge and a few boiled eggs for lunch today. Tonight, we’ll make her some bone soup and fish soup that are good for milk production."

Li Yifei promptly said, "I’ll go buy it now."

Saying this, Li Yifei ran out, very keen on doing things personally when it came to taking care of Ye Yunzhu. This gave him a sense of being a father, happy to do more for Ye Yunzhu and their newborn.

Although the hospital provided food service, Li Yifei felt that their preparation was simply not good enough, so he went to a nearby restaurant to order some millet porridge and personally supervised the chefs on how to make it.

Normally, big restaurants wouldn’t allow this, but Li Yifei was generous with his money, so of course, the restaurant didn’t have much to say.

Li Yifei not only made some millet porridge and boiled a few eggs, but also prepared a few side dishes and packed up a few servings of rice since both Ye Yunzhu and Ning Xin’er, as well as the rest, needed to eat.

After more than an hour, when he had finished all this and was just about to pack up, his phone rang. It was a call from Ning Xin’er. He answered it quickly.

"Yifei, you need to come back quickly. A group of people are blocking the hospital room door, and Xiaoyao has already started arguing with them."

Upon hearing this, Li Yifei hurriedly grabbed the two bags and rushed back to the hospital. It must be that guy from earlier who had sent people over. He hadn’t wanted to cause trouble today, but since that bastard dared to do so, he couldn’t let this scum off the hook.
