NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 25 - The IOU (Promissory Note)
Chapter 25: The IOU (Promissory Note)
Fang Biao silently glanced at his son and left without saying a word. If it were him, he would certainly contribute money to his daughter’s best friend, but he would do so within his financial means.
One hundred thousand yuan!
He could afford it but wouldn’t simply donate it like that. However, he didn’t know how to assess his son’s actions anymore.
After his son returned, he bought a multimillion-dollar house in full payment, even without consulting, the elderly couple. It seemed like it didn’t burden him at all. Even the property deed was in Shi Hui’s name. So, no matter how thick Fang Biao’s skin was, he couldn’t possibly criticize his son for the sake of this hundred thousand yuan.
Fang Jian smiled slightly and, upon returning home, took out a special pill.
The next day was a day off. Fang Jian was lying on the bed in a daze early in the morning. Suddenly, a pair of soft little hands pinched his nose. Fang Jian was instantly furious and sat up, then playfully chased Fang Yiyi, successfully making her laugh continuously.
“Yiyi, why did you wake up so early today?” Fang Jian asked in confusion.
Children usually love to sleep in, and in the past, it was like going to war to wake her up when she was called Yiyi. But today, Yiyi woke up even earlier than Fang Jian, which puzzled him.
“Brother, I’m not going to kindergarten today. You promised to see Yuanyuan with me,” Fang Yiyi said sweetly.
Fang Jian was shocked and smiled, “Alright, I’ll get up now.”
He picked up the little one, took care of personal matters quickly, and the two finished breakfast under his mother’s supervision.
Fang Yiyi usually dawdled during breakfast, but today, she ate quickly and even reminded her brother to hurry up.
“Son, do you want me to go with you?” Fang Biao asked.
Fang Jian replied, annoyed, “Dad, just how little faith do you have in me?”
Fang Biao glanced at him and said, “Take care of Yiyi, and be careful not to bump into anything.”
Only then did Fang Jian understand his father’s concern. He glanced angrily at his father, carried Yiyi, and turned to leave. They arrived at the hospital after a short journey. When they reached Yuanyuan’s hospital bed, Meng Yuhai wasn’t there. Only Liu Yuanyuan lay there, barely conscious.
But as soon as Fang Yiyi arrived, Liu Yuanyuan immediately became lively. The two little girls huddled together on the bed, whispering and playing games that Fang Jian couldn’t understand.
It’s really hard to understand why Fang Yiyi, who usually fears hospitals the most, can stay here for such a long time without complaining. It can only be said that the friendship between children is truly a different dimension. The elderly aunt, seeing them happily playing, suddenly received a phone call.
Fang Jian said, “Auntie, you go answer the phone. I’ll take care of them.”
After thanking him, the elderly aunt took the phone and left the ward. Then, Fang Jian took out two candies from his pocket. He carefully distinguished them and smiled, saying, “Here, if you’re tired from playing, have some candy.”
Saying that he thoughtfully unwrapped the candy wrappers and put them into the mouths of the children.
Fang Jian didn’t pay much attention to Fang Yiyi eating the candy. But his attention shifted to Liu Yuanyuan, and Fang Jian’s thoughts were divided. Although Zhuge Erma had told him these wonder drugs were sweet and suitable for people of all ages and genders.
However, he was afraid that the little one might not tolerate it well and spit it out, resulting in wastage. Fang Jian wasn’t reluctant to give up one special pill since he could have as many as he wanted as long as that mysterious space existed.
But he worried that the children might not want to take it, which would be troublesome. However, his worries didn’t materialize. Liu Yuanyuan ate it without hesitation. Seeing the lively appearance of her and Fang Yiyi, Fang Jian seriously doubted that these two little ones had no idea what they were even eating.
Fang Jian kept the candy wrappers, put them in his pocket, and then watched them contentedly. Soon, the elderly aunt returned, followed by Liu’s mother, Meng Yuhai.
When she saw Fang Jian, Liu’s mother smiled gently and said, “Mr. Fang, let’s talk outside.”
“Sure.”
The two of them walked out, and Meng Yuhai took a piece of paper from her bag and said, “Mr. Fang, please have a look.”
Fang Jian was shocked and picked it up to take a look. Surprisingly, it was an IOU with a photocopy of the other party’s ID card and a handwritten signature.
Meng Yuhai said seriously, “Mr. Fang, Yiyi needs to undergo surgery as soon as possible, so I can’t refuse your 100,000 yuan. Thank you. I’m currently trying to sell the house, and as soon as it’s sold, I’ll immediately repay you.”
