Shang Jin’s mother was in a difficult position. “She doesn’t want to see her friends now, and she doesn’t want to cooperate with the doctor. I’m afraid she’ll say bad things to drive you away.”
Tan Rou said, “Auntie, don’t worry. 1 won’t leave. As long as you let me talk to her, I’ll convince her.”
Shang Jin’s mother was skeptical. She could not help Shang Jin now. She might as well let this little girl try; perhaps Shang Jin would agree to the treatment.
Tan Rou pushed open the door and saw the girl lying under the blanket. The girl’s back was facing the door, so she couldn’t see the wound on her face.
After a while, Shang Jin said, “Mom, didn’t i tell you to go out? Why are you here again?”
“Senior, it’s me.”
Shang Jin heard Tan Ron’s voice and immediately covered his head. “Get out quickly. I look very ugly now. Don’t look at me. I’ll scare you!”
Tan Rou walked straight to Shang Jin’s bedside and said softly, “I know you’re feeling very uncomfortable, but it’s not a good idea to keep hiding. We should actively get the treatments done.”
Shang Jin, who was hiding under the blanket, said, “The doctor said that there’s a 90% chance that there will be a scar. The treatment fee is also costly. In this half a month, I’ve already spent most of the 400,000 yuan from the dividends. If I continue to receive treatment, my family will be dragged down by me.”
“Hmm, you’re right. Burn treatment is indeed very expensive,” Tan Rou said to her.
It was the first time Shang Jin heard someone agree with her point of view, so he stuck his head out from under the blanket. “Rourou, you’re different from them. They only tell me not to care about money. As long as I’m well, they’ll be happy even if they spend all the money.”
“What do you plan to do now? Are you going out with such a face?” Tan Rou asked.
Shang Jin shook his head and said, “I will never go out again. With my face like this, I will only scare others.”
“What about your ice beauty junior? Are you giving up?” Tan Rou asked again.
Shang Jin’s eyes were sore and she almost cried. The doctor said that she couldn’t cry, so she could only continue to hold it in. “You don’t know how much I liked him. When I was young, I liked to watch TV dramas. The male lead in the drama looked handsome, but they were all very cold, so I dreamed of finding such a person to be my boyfriend. I finally found him, but now that my face has become like this, how can I be with him?”
“Why didn’t you cooperate with the treatment? Xu Yan took more than half a month’s leave to find a doctor for you,” Tan Rou said. “You know, he never takes leave.”
Shang Jin was stunned for a moment before he replied, “He doesn’t like me. He just sympathizes with me.”
“Do you want to give up on him just like that?” Tan Rou asked again.
“I don’t want to. 1 don’t have the face to see him anymore.” Shang Jin was very sad.
Tan Rou took out the bag containing the ointment. “This is the ointment for treating burns. Try it again. Compared to the treatment fee of millions, this is much cheaper.”
Shang Jin didn’t want to try. She was in a state of despair now. “I don’t want to try anymore.”
She was afraid that her hope would be shattered.
“Don’t give up, okay?” Tan Rou held Shang Jin’s hand. “My impression of you is that you are a sunny and cheerful person; who looks especially good when she smiles and is very handsome when she scolds people. I like her very much. The people who love you and the people you love are trying their best to cure your face. How can you give up so easily?”
“I’m afraid of failure! The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment,” Shang Jin said sadly. “I don’t want to be disappointed anymore.”
“It’s a pity to give up before trying.” Tan Rou said, “Just like how you liked Xu Yan. You knew that Xu Yan might not like you, but you still bravely pursued him, didn’t you?”
Shang Jin said, “That’s different…”
“It’s the same.” Tan Rou said, “It takes courage to do everything. I believe you can do it. Can you try one last time?”
Shang Jin looked at the bottles of ointment and nodded. “Okay, 1 want to try again.”
After Tan Rou convinced Shang Jin, she told the good news to Shang Jin’s mother and told her the order of application of the ointment.
“Thank you!” Shang Jin’s mother was very touched. “If you can cure her, then you’ve saved my daughter twice. It’s my All Jin’s blessing to have you as a friend..”
