1990s: Spring Water Family

Chapter 165 Blood Merging, Bonds Formed in This Way
When Li Qing's parents learned the truth, they were thunderstruck and could not believe that their daughter would do such a thing.

After the initial shock, the two women were of one mind and transferred their resentment to Wang Fan, believing that he had seduced their daughter, which led to this outcome.

At 3 a.m., the couple appeared at the hospital in a menacing manner, trying to coerce and entice the plaintiff to compromise, drop the lawsuit, and settle the matter privately.

Wang Fan was wheeled out of the operating room. Although he was awake, he was still very weak.

Gu Bin stepped in on his behalf, cooperating with the lawyer to discuss matters with Li Qing's parents.

Li Qing's parents initially insisted that it was Wang Fan's fault and offered to settle the matter with 200,000 yuan in compensation.

Gu Bin stood his ground and shut them down with a few words.

After a heated debate, the final outcome was that the Li family compensated Wang Fan with one million yuan for medical expenses and guaranteed to send Li Qing to study in Germany, thus completely severing ties between the two.

Although Wang Fan was angry that Li Qing was a troublemaker, he felt somewhat guilty towards her. After listening to Gu Bin's persuasion, he suppressed his anger and gave up his plan to hunt her down.

-

As dawn broke, Li Qing's parents left.

The lawyer representing the couple handed Gu Bin a check for one million dollars left behind by the two men.

Gu Bin's performance in the negotiations was outstanding, which made his senior from the law school feel impressed.

Like the Yangtze River, the new generation surpasses the old; this junior hasn't even graduated yet, and his senior is already being left behind.

"Gu Bin, what are your plans after graduation? Would you like to come to my law firm?"

In order to prevent his junior brother from becoming a formidable rival, he decisively decided to poach him.

"I don't have any ideas yet."

Gu Bin withdrew 5 yuan in advance as a tip, put it in an envelope, and handed it to this nominal senior.

"I don't need the money. Consider it a gift from your senior brother to you as a friend."

The lawyer didn't accept the offer but tried to persuade them: "Our law firm is very famous; you might want to consider it."
Actually, I don't have any specific plans for the future yet.

Gu Bin smiled and declined, saying, "Although I am currently pursuing a double major in law and computer science, I personally feel that I am more interested in computers."

"alright."

The lawyer smiled helplessly, took a business card from his jacket pocket and handed it to him: "This is my personal number. Contact me anytime if you've thought it through. Our law firm's doors are always open to you."

"Thanks."

Gu Bin put the business card into his wallet in front of him and then handed him the envelope containing the money.

The lawyer insisted on not accepting the money, exchanged a few more polite words with him, and then left the hospital.

-

Ward.

"She was lucky to have been saved by a million dollars."

Wang Fan glanced at the one million yuan check and let out a disdainful sneer.

"Senior Brother Hu insisted on not taking the money."

Gu Bin, who had stayed up all night, rubbed his temples wearily: "The lawyer's fees are waived. I'll go to the bank, withdraw the check, and transfer it to your own account."

"Thanks, bro."

Wang Fan grinned and said, "Consider this a debt I owe you. From now on, if you ever need anything, I'll risk my life for you."

"Okay, stop being so mean."

Gu Bin didn't want to listen to his nonsense: "If you want to thank someone, thank Xi Yu. You're lucky to have survived this time, and you have to thank her. If it weren't for her blood transfusion, you would really be going to see the King of Hell."

"Blood transfusion?"

Wang Fan was taken aback: "Is that so?"

"You yourself are Rh-negative, don't you know that?"

Gu Bin deliberately warned him: "You still dare to be so impulsive and fight with people."

"I really don't know that."

Wang Fan was stunned for only a second before resuming his playful grin: "This is interesting. Your wife gave me a blood transfusion, so our bloodlines are intertwined; we're even closer than you, her fiancé."

"Just say you want to die."

Gu Binjun's face darkened, but because they were in the ward and there were nurses present, he forcibly suppressed the urge to strangle him.

"Can't I even make a joke? Are you that petty?"

Wang Fan, oblivious to the danger, continued to push his limits.

I shouldn't have saved you.

Gu Bin laughed in exasperation and pressed hard on his wound.

"Ouch, that hurts so much!"

Wang Fan winced in pain.

"Ouch, you're bleeding."

The nurse lifted the blanket and saw blood seeping from the wound, which terrified her.

Chaos erupted in the ward again as doctors rushed in to examine the patient's wounds and change the gauze.

"fine."

Gu Bin scoffed: "He's like a dog, tough and resilient, he won't die."

We're the same age.

Wang Fan laughed angrily: "You call me a dog, but aren't you one yourself?"

"Stop talking."

The nurse couldn't stand it anymore and scolded him impatiently: "Talking is a waste of your energy. What you need now is to close your eyes and rest."

"It would be best to seal his mouth shut."

Gu Bin added insult to injury: "This way everyone can have some peace and quiet."

"You should go out too."

The nurse glared at him and said, "The patient needs to rest. Only one person should stay in the ward with him. Everyone else should leave."

"Breakfast."

Lin Xiyu and Wu Meng returned with breakfast at that very moment.

"Wu Meng will stay and take care of him. Xi Yu will come with me."

Without thinking, Gu Bin shoved the lunchbox from Lin Xiyu's hand into Wu Meng's hands and pulled her out of the ward.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Wu Meng looked completely bewildered: "Where did they go? Why did they leave me all alone?"

Wang Fan scoffed, "What are you meddling in when the young couple is just flirting?"

"Is this some kind of trouble you caused again?"

Wu Meng gave him a suspicious look: "You angered Gu Bin and he left."

Wang Fan's eyes flickered slightly, but he remained silent.

I knew it would be like this.

Wu Meng gave him a knowing look and scolded him irritably: "You really are something else. What can I say about you? You just woke up and you're already causing trouble. We stayed up all night because of you, and you still have the nerve to drive them away."

Wang Fan's heart warmed: "You and Lin Xiyu also stayed with me all night?"

"No."

Wu Meng rolled her eyes at him: "Xi Yu even gave you a blood transfusion."

"She really gave me a blood transfusion?"

Wang Fan found it unbelievable and asked again.

"Of course."

Wu Meng didn't think much of it: "If you don't believe me, ask the nurse."

"Hey, interesting."

Wang Fan found it even more interesting: "What a coincidence! We have the same blood type."

You should be secretly happy.

Wu Meng could easily see through his little scheme, and she teased him with a smile.

"I'm actually quite happy."

Wang Fan did not deny it: "I never thought I would get entangled with her in this way."

"I'm warning you."

Wu Meng stopped laughing and warned him seriously, "Don't even think about messing with Xi Yu again. She gave you her blood out of necessity. Don't try to use this as an excuse to pester her again."

"Cut~~"

Wang Fan scoffed: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would steal my brother's girlfriend?"

I think you are.

Wu Meng bluntly reopened his wounds: "You've done this kind of thing before, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten beaten up."

"Eat your food."

Wang Fan touched a nerve, and when she heard that Wang Fan had also stayed by her side all night, her meager gratitude vanished instantly.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Wu Meng had won the argument and was secretly pleased with herself.

"He can't eat staple foods."

The nurse answered for Wang Fan: "He can only drink some rice water; he can't have a single grain of millet."

"Okay, I understand."

Wu Meng looked at the breakfast in her hand with a bit of annoyance: "I forgot to ask beforehand. They don't want soy milk or tea eggs, and there's no time to make rice porridge. What should I do?"

"It's okay if you don't eat after surgery."

The nurse patiently explained, "Five IV drips a day provide enough nutrition. If the patient is thirsty and wants to drink water, he can drink a little through a straw. He should lie on his side and be careful not to choke."

"All right."

Wu Meng breathed a sigh of relief, then deliberately provoked someone: "If you can't eat it, I'll eat it for you. Tea eggs are so delicious, it would be a waste to waste them."

Wang Fan closed his eyes in anger, not wanting to talk to her anymore.

"hey-hey."

Wu Meng didn't care about his cold face, peeled the tea egg, and ate it happily.

-

Wang Fan didn't want his family to know he was injured, so the burden of caring for the patient fell on his three fellow villagers.

Lin Xiyu and Wu Meng stayed by the bedside during the day, while Gu Bin was responsible for taking night shifts.

The school was too far from the hospital, making it inconvenient to go back and forth. So Lin Xiyu simply brought all her and Wu Meng's luggage and booked a room at a small hotel near the hospital so they could take turns going back to rest.

The preparatory work for the opening of the Pudong branch proceeded smoothly and without delay due to an incident involving one of the owners.

Gu Bin was juggling both business and hospital care. After a while, he noticed he had lost weight.

Lin Xiyu felt sorry for the patient and mentally tormented him a thousand times over.

Fortunately, Wang Fan was young and had a good constitution, so he recovered quickly. He was almost fully healed in less than a week and could walk again. He stayed in the hospital for a few more days, but he couldn't stand it anymore and kept pestering the doctor to let him go.

"Everyone else tries to stay in the hospital a few more days, but you want to be discharged before you're fully recovered."

The attending physician, who was making rounds, was speechless: "Don't take advantage of your youth to mess around. If the wound reopens and becomes infected, you'll be the one suffering."

"I feel much better now, the wound doesn't hurt at all."

Since Wang Fan was able to get out of bed, he started to act all carefree and didn't take the doctor's words to heart.

"You feel?"

The doctor scolded him impatiently: "We doctors need medical equipment to help us diagnose illnesses. Without taking an X-ray and doing some tests, we wouldn't dare to make a conclusion easily. Do you have X-ray vision? Do you know more about the illness than we do?"

"I can sense it myself, can't I tell if it hurts or not?"

Wang Fan wanted to dawdle, but Lin Xiyu saw the doctor's expression change and poked him with her finger.

"Snapped."

Her fingers, carrying static electricity, sparked when they touched the hospital gown.

"hiss."

Wang Fan was so startled that he lost all interest in arguing with the doctor.

"Why are you still carrying electricity?"

Lin Xiyu was also startled by the static electricity and glared at him with displeasure.

"You're the one who shocked me, aren't you?"

Wang Fan laughed in exasperation, rubbing his arm, utterly speechless.

"I don't have static electricity when I touch other places, but I have static electricity when I touch you."

Lin Xiyu tentatively touched other items, and sure enough, no more sparks appeared.

"That means we're really compatible."

Wang Fan quickly chimed in.

"Who called you?"

Lin Xiyu felt that the sentence was somewhat ambiguous, so she decisively severed ties with him.

"If not, then there won't be."

Wang Fan wasn't annoyed by her retort: ​​"I was just saying. The hospital has lights; we don't need to generate electricity."

"Pfft."

One of the nurses couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud.

"Ah."

Wang Fan chuckled and teased, "Looks like I do have a bit of a sense of humor."

"Cough cough."

The nurse blushed and looked away shyly.

"Ugh"

Wang Fan leaned back comfortably, reverting to his playboy ways: "Beautiful women are always around, but I can't even get with them. What's the point of staying in the hospital?"

"Still trying to pick up girls!"

Lin Xiyu laughed in anger: "If you get stabbed again, you'll really die because of a woman."

The nurse's pretty face turned pale, and the blush gradually disappeared.

Wang Fan gave her a speechless look.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Lin Xiyu glared back without hesitation: "Am I wrong?"

"Correct."

Wang Fan readily admitted defeat: "Whatever my sister-in-law says is right."

"Stop being poor."

Lin Xiyu was a little uncomfortable when she heard him call her sister-in-law for the first time: "Rest well and try to get discharged from the hospital as soon as possible. It's almost the Lunar New Year, and the whole family is waiting for us to come home for the New Year."

"Listen to my sister-in-law."

Wang Fan shifted his body down, lay sprawled out, and closed his eyes.

Lin Xiyu pulled the blanket up to cover him, sat down by the bed, propped her forehead up with her hand, and squinted her eyes, pretending to sleep.

The doctors and nurses left, and the ward became quiet.

When Wang Fan heard no more movement, he opened his eyes again and stared at her with a kind of infatuation.

The girl was pure and beautiful, radiating a calm and reassuring aura from within.

He watched for a while, chuckled self-deprecatingly, and closed his eyes again.

-

This time, he fell asleep, slept soundly, and slept until the afternoon.

When I woke up and opened my eyes, I saw a furry head lying on the headboard.

He reached out from under the covers, just as he was about to touch her, when the person was startled and suddenly looked up.

"Holy crap, it's you? When did the hospital room become so magical, with people suddenly appearing out of nowhere?"

"What kind of magic trick is this, turning people into real beings?"

Wu Meng rubbed her eyelids helplessly and complained irritably, "Are you still half asleep? You're just spouting nonsense as soon as you open your mouth."

"Wasn't that Lin Xiyu just now?"

Wang Fan had no idea how long he had slept, and was genuinely a little dazed: "You turned into me in just a short while?"

"What good thing are you thinking of?"

Wu Meng suddenly realized, and teased him with a smile: "It's already three in the afternoon, Xi Yu left a long time ago, did you really think she would stay with you all day?"

"when did you come?"

Wang Fan's eyes flickered slightly as he deliberately changed the subject.

"Noon."

Wu Meng replied matter-of-factly, "I bought you lunch, but I didn't wake you because you were asleep."

"I actually slept for so long?"

Wang Fan's eyes were glazed over; even he himself couldn't believe it.

"Dreaming, aren't you?"

Wu Meng leaned forward, her teasing gaze sweeping over his face: "I saw you smiling in your sleep, you must have been dreaming about something wonderful."

"Cough cough."

Wang Fan nearly choked on his own saliva.

"Looks like I guessed right."

Wu Mengxian was bored and teased him: "Tell me honestly, what dream did you have that made you laugh so lewdly?"

"Are you even a woman?"

Wang Fan, feeling a bit stung by her teasing, retorted irritably, "How could you say something like that?"
