Chapter 48: A kept mistress? (Part 3/3)
Qi Shaorong followed Zhuang Ling into the office, and before he entered the office, Qi Shaorong heard a cough.
“Sister Zhuang Ling, where did you run off to!”
When Zhuang Ling entered the door, the little girl stopped coughing and rushed toward Zhuang Ling. She suddenly fell into Zhuang Ling"s arms. The little girl"s face had an unhealthy pallor, nonetheless, she was very polite. Qi Shaorong noticed the little girl"s handkerchief was dotted with blood.
When Qi Shaorong saw the little girl, he knew Zhuang Ling"s real purpose.
Zhuang Ling smiled at Qi Shaorong and said: “She is called Furong. She is the daughter of Sun Lin, a professor of the college. Sun Lin"s husband died in the battle a few years ago. Furong is the two"s only child. Unfortunately, this girl was born premature, and her health is not good.”
Qi Shaorong: “…”
Qi Shaorong reached out and poked the little girl"s cheek. The little girl looked like a frightened little mouse and hid behind Zhuang Ling.
“Learning that my illness was cured by Ghost Doctor, Professor Sun Lin originally wanted to find Ghost Doctor for help; however, Ghost Doctor is missing. Student Qi, you have a good relationship with Ghost Doctor. Can you help me inform him?" Zhuang Ling asked.
Furong"s big eyes glittered looking at Qi Shaorong with timidity. The little girl was so skinny that she was all skin and bone, her appearance provoking people"s affection and desire to pamper.
Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Ling and said: “Professor Zhuang Ling is truly virtuous.”
“I"m really not virtuous. I just think that this little girl is like me when I was a child. Director Sun Lin always reminds me of my father. Pressor Sun Lin and her late husband had deep feelings and were also very caring towards this daughter, but unfortunately…"
Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Ling and said: “Professor Zhuang Ling, I can"t contact Ghost Doctor for a while, but you can write down the symptoms of this little girl and send it Ghost Doctor"s official residence. Ghost Doctor"s close a.s.sociates will always have a way to contact Ghost Doctor. If Ghost Doctor sees a suitable price, he will naturally help.”
Zhuang Ling smiled and said: “For this girl"s illness, Professor Sun Lin has been searching for famous doctors. Their family is very thin. Student Qi, you are familiar with Ghost Doctor. I also hope that you will say something to Ghost Doctor.”
[TN: Zhuang Ling is basically asking Qi Shaorong to use his close relationship with the Ghost Doctor to lower the price since the family is thin (poor).]
“I will try my best.” Qi Shaorong said.
Zhuang Ling looked at Qi Shaorong and said, “Student Qi, do you want to touch her pulse?”
Qi Shaorong glanced at Zhuang Ling and said, “No need, I am well aware of the situation.” With a glance, he knew what was going on. The little girl"s illness was none other than tuberculosis.
Zhuang Ling looked at Qi Shaorong and said, “So, I will trouble Student Qi.”
Qi Shaorong smiled and said: “Miss Zhuang Ling, don"t forget your promise.”
“Young people"s matters should be dealt by you young people. I want to see how far you all can go?” Zhuang Ling said craftily.
Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Ling, and the secretly thought: Zhuang Ling meant that she would not interfere as one would do when watching a movie.
