Chapter 857: Pity That Man

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Before midnight, Tangtang started to make a fuss.

She was shouting that she was hungry and wanted to eat.

No matter how sensible Tangtang was, she was still a child.

When an adult was hungry, they would feel irritated, let alone a child.

Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng took turns to coax Tangtang to sleep for more than an hour.

However, this was only the beginning.

She had to fast for twenty-four hours.

It had been less than twelve hours.

Sure enough, the next morning, Tangtang was woken up by hunger.

The sky had not even turned bright yet, but Qin Mucheng and Ji Yuanyuan were already woken up by the shaking.

They had no choice but to get up and walk around with Tangtang in their arms, trying to divert her attention.

Unfortunately, hunger was a physiological reaction. How could she be so easily distracted?

Tangtang finally fell asleep, tired and hungry.

When they went down to eat, they turned on their phones to video call. One was in the bedroom, and the other was in their hands.

This way, they could see Tangtang’s condition at all times.

Once Tangtang woke up, they could go upstairs immediately.

The sound of the video was turned off.

After they went downstairs, Ji Yuanyuan hit his waist helplessly and whispered, “Is today the hardest day since we had a child?”

Although Tangtang was not a particularly worry-free child when she was young, she had the help of both parents and two adoptive sisters-in-law.

To be honest, the two of them were not as tired as they were today.

“Yes, it’s true.” Qin Mucheng chuckled softly.

The takeout was delivered to the door, and Qin Mucheng brought it in.

Other than the food for the two of them, Qin Mucheng also asked the people from the supermarket to send a pot, rice, milk bottles, milk powder, and a thermos.

In another hour or so, it was time for Tangtang to end her fasting.

The doctor told her not to eat anything hard after fasting. It was best to eat some liquid food.

Her diet had to be slowly restored.

Qin Mucheng planned to let Tangtang drink some milk powder and porridge.

After dinner, Ji Yuanyuan went upstairs to take care of Tangtang.

Qin Mucheng was busy in the kitchen.

Tangtang took a long nap. By the time she woke up, her fasting time had passed.

Ji Yuanyuan fed her milk powder and porridge, and the little one finally regained most of her energy.

Qin Mucheng took a video of the little guy eating and sent it to Qin Haowen.

Qin Haowen’s video call came.

Qin Mucheng picked up the call. Before he could say anything, Qin Haowen said in disdain, “Pass the phone to Tangtang. Who wants to see you?”

Qin Mucheng passed the phone to Tangtang helplessly. “Come, talk to Grandpa.”

Ji Yuanyuan looked at Qin Mucheng teasingly. “You’ve fallen out of favor.”

“As long as I don’t fall out of favor with you, it’s fine.” Qin Mucheng took a step back and almost whispered into Ji Yuanyuan’s ear.

Ji Yuanyuan reached out and patted his head. “Don’t worry. I will never do that.”

On the other side, Tangtang and Qin Haowen had already started chatting.

“I drank milk and porridge just now. My stomach is already full. Mom said that we can eat delicious food tonight. I can hold it in.”

Ji Yuanyuan retracted her gaze and pulled Qin Mucheng back a few steps.

“Yesterday at the hospital…” she whispered. “I’m sorry.”

Qin Mucheng had long forgotten about that matter. He even took a few seconds to realize what Ji Yuanyuan was talking about.

“No need to apologize. I didn’t take it to heart.” He chuckled.

Ji Yuanyuan sighed helplessly. “At that time, I was too anxious and spoke without thinking. It’s not your fault.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.” Qin Mucheng patted her shoulder.

Tangtang’s call with Qin Haowen took half an hour.

Today was New Year’s Eve, and Qin Haowen and the others were already in their hometown.

There were many rules in his hometown, so they had to start preparing dinner at this time.

“Are you going to Grandpa and Grandma’s place today or tomorrow?” Qin Mucheng asked after hanging up the phone.

Ji Yuanyuan raised her hand and looked at her watch.

“It’s already past three o’clock,” she said softly after a moment of hesitation. “They might be preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner. Dad and Mom went there last night, so we won’t go. Let’s go directly on New Year’s Eve tomorrow.”

Qin Mucheng nodded. “Alright, let’s go to the hospital to have a look then. What are the arrangements for tonight?”

The whole family was here, so she didn’t know if she should arrange a New Year’s Eve dinner.

The family of three packed up and drove to the hospital.

There were very few people in the hospital on New Year’s Eve, and the parking lot in front was empty.

After parking the car, Qin Mucheng carried Tangtang, and Ji Yuanyuan followed closely behind as they walked into the hospital.

“I left my phone in the car,” Ji Yuanyuan suddenly realized as they were waiting for the elevator.

The elevator had already reached the first floor. Qin Mucheng was about to say something when Ji Yuanyuan hurriedly said, “It’s too cold on the first floor. Bring Tangtang up first. I’ll go back to the car to get my phone.”

She then took the car keys from Qin Mucheng’s pocket and left.

Qin Mucheng glanced at the elevator and hesitated for a moment before stepping into it.

The first floor was indeed too cold.

The front and back doors faced each other, and there was an air ventilation.

Moreover, the elevator was moving up and down, and there was wind.

Tangtang was weak now. It would be bad if she caught a cold.

When Ji Yuanyuan returned with her phone, the elevator had already reached the top floor.

Probably because someone had entered and exited the top floor, the number on the screen did not change.

The wind was a little strong, so she wrapped her clothes tightly.

In front of her stood a man and a woman.

It should be mother and son. They looked a little alike.

The boy looked to be in his early twenties, and he exuded a ruffian aura.

“Why don’t you just transfer my dad to another hospital in the city?” he asked impatiently. “If it doesn’t work, we can go to B City. Why are you wasting time here? This small hospital didn’t have anything.”

“Doesn’t it cost money to go to a big hospital? We still have to save the money to buy you a house. You’re about to graduate from university, and your girlfriend’s family is so well-off. If we don’t have a house, will she still stay with you?”

Ji Yuanyuan, who was standing behind them, could not help but look up at the two of them curiously.

It was not uncommon for an old man to be unwilling to spend money to see a doctor when he was sick because he wanted to leave the money to his child.

However, this woman’s tone was really…

It sounded like she didn’t care about her man’s life at all.

Ji Yuanyuan pitied that man whom she had never met.

She hoped that his son would have a conscience.

Money could be earned again, but if his father was gone, so be it.

The boy was silent for a moment before he whispered, “So we’re just going to waste time like this?”

The woman snorted. She did not care that there were strangers beside her. “It’s just a waste of time. I don’t spend much money now. Even if he went to a big hospital, the surgery fee for the kidney transplant alone would cost hundreds of thousands. With those hundreds of thousands, can’t I buy you something?”

When the elevator arrived, the woman stepped in first.

The boy followed closely behind.

Ji Yuanyuan felt a little awkward after eavesdropping on their conversation and decided to wait for the next elevator.

Unexpectedly, when the elevator was about to close, the boy actually helped hold it down.

“Aren’t you going up?” He raised his head and asked Ji Yuanyuan calmly..
