Chapter 327: Received Money Again
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
She was hesitant to accept the card because the previous one from Huo Ci had contained a substantial 50,000 yuan. The amount had been more than generous.
“Miracle Doctor, if you decline this card, we won’t leave,” Huo Ci insisted, his demeanor unwavering.
Xia Wan found herself without much choice but to acquiesce.
Huo Ci’s visit was brief. He exchanged phone numbers with Xia Wan before departing.
Meanwhile, as Huo Ci left, Huo Chen’s gaze lingered on Xia Wan, his departure appearing reluctant. He called out before leaving, “Sister Xia Wan, we shall cross paths again.”
Once the two had exited, Xia Feng promptly approached. “Sis, how much is on this card?”
Yan Han chimed in, “Just moments ago, I was worried about funds for our purchases. Unexpectedly, someone came and offered financial support.
Proficiency in medical skills truly proves rewarding.”
She directed her attention to Xia Chen and Xia Feng. “You both are also your grandfather’s biological grandchildren. Why haven’t you delved into the study of medical skills?”
Their embarra.s.sment was evident in the twins’ expressions.
Xia Wan, too, felt a degree of helplessness. She hadn’t truly learned medicine from their grandfather; it had been more of an excuse.
“Since everyone is curious, let’s uncover the truth,” Xia Wan suggested.
Her proposition garnered unanimous agreement from the family.
The following afternoon, post-lunch, the entire family accompanied Liu Hua to the bank.
Their presence left the bank staff visibly surprised.
Never before had they encountered a situation where a group a.s.sembled to withdraw funds.
Given the lack of self-service machines, the process involved manual balance checks. Xia Wan patiently waited in line for her turn.
When her turn came, an audience gathered to witness the spectacle.
The staff member’s hands trembled as they took the card.
All eyes were on the staff member as they were eager to ascertain the card’s
contents.
Finally, the staff member managed to regain composure. With a note of envy, they reported, “There’s 150,000 inside.”
In a respectful tone, the staff member continued, “Would you like to deposit it? We offer high-interest rates on savings.”
“No need to save. Please help me withdraw ten thousand yuan,” Xia Wan requested.
Having received this directive, the staff refrained from further persuasion and promptly facilitated the transaction.
Xia Wan reclaimed the card and stowed away the money. It was then she noticed everyone’s astonished expressions.
“What has caught you all off guard?” Xia Wan inquired.
Yan Han’s hands shook slightly. “Wanwan, did Mom mishear? That much money?”
Hushed to prevent others from overhearing, Yan Yan’s voice revealed her disbelief.
With a smile, Xia Wan confirmed, “That’s the accurate amount.”
“Alright, let’s step outside and discuss this,” Xia Wan suggested, prompting the group to follow her, their steps marked by astonishment.
Liu Hua was deeply moved. “I once thought that selling my lingzhi for 4500 was a mark of wealth. Now I understand the vast difference between us.’
Among them all, Xia Feng remained the most genuine. He clung to Xia Wan’s arm, exclaiming, “Sister, you’re incredible!”
Amused, Xia Wan playfully ruffled his hair. “Now you see how truly well-off I am. If you want candy in the future, just enjoy it. If you desire something, let me know. I can afford it.”
Eagerly, Xia Feng nodded. “Okay, then I want a bicycle.”
Laughter echoed through the group.
Xia Wan responded, “Sure thing! We’ll buy one. Bicycles aren’t pricey. You can easily get one for 80 yuan.”
Her attention then turned to Xia Chen.
Without hesitation, Xia Chen remarked, “I’m already struggling with my tuition fees. There’s no need to add to the financial strain.”
Xia Wan merely smiled, refraining from pressing the matter further.
Upon arriving at the bicycle store, she declared, “Each of us will choose a bike.
Mom, Dad, make your selections too. Huahua, pick one as well.”
Liu Hua was taken aback. “Wanwan, am I part of this too?”
Xia Wan nodded, affirming, “Absolutely. You’ve been helping me with my studies. If we calculate it like tuition, it’s sufficient for a bicycle.”
Liu Hua quickly declined, feeling she shouldn’t take advantage. “No, I’ve been eating your family’s food. I can’t accept a bicycle.”
Xia Hai chimed in, “I’m good as well. Walking is sufficient for me.”
Yan Han added, “Mom feels the same. Our home is quite close to the store, and
I’m not familiar with riding a bicycle.”
Observing their conversation, a shop a.s.sistant approached, evidently thinking they couldn’t afford bicycles. “Buying bikes, are you? If you’re short on funds, you could return later.”
Xia Wan glanced at the a.s.sistant and calmly stated, “We have the necessary funds. We’re simply considering a few options.”
This left the shop a.s.sistant momentarily flabbergasted, thinking that Xia Wan was boasting..
