Chapter 4 Suits
Chapter 4 Suits
Under Yu Chengliang's surprised gaze, I boldly knocked on Song Yafei's office door again.
There was no response from inside the door for a long time, so I could only try sending her a text message.
“If you lend me two million, I will give that suit to Yu Chengliang.”
The office door opened quickly, and Song Yafei, holding a tall pen, suddenly grabbed my collar as I waited for a reply at the door.
She pushed me to the ground with tremendous force.
My forehead slammed hard against a flower stand decoration not far away.
There was a precious money tree on it, and its branches brushed hard against the corner of my eye.
I blinked a beat late, then touched the blood in the corner of my eye.
"Okay, Zhang Tian, you're really something!" She threw the pen at my face, completely disregarding the injury near my eye and whether it would hurt my eye.
Song Yafei seemed to be furious, but instead she laughed.
She scoffed, "Fine, you said it. You find the suit, bring it to me, and personally put it on Xiao Liang. Then I'll consider whether or not to give you money."
Her words were extremely insulting.
But I didn't have time to care.
I got up from the ground.
Ignore the momentary darkness before your eyes.
He staggered a couple of steps before finally managing to walk steadily forward.
Song Yafei seemed unsatisfied and called out to me, "Wait."
She pointed to the mess on the ground and casually ordered, "Clean this up first, and remember, make sure it's exactly as it was."
I turned my head.
Looking at the money tree lying on the ground with half of its branches broken, and the antique-looking frame scratched off.
Filled with astonishment, he wanted to find Song Yafei again to confirm.
Song Yafei had already turned around and entered the office.
My heart is bleeding.
how can that be possible?
How could I possibly do that?
The money tree's branches have broken off, just like her love for me, which is long gone!
Yu Chengliang laughed heartily beside him: "Brother Zhang, I just learned a new idiom, 'to reap what one sows'!"
He even helped call the maintenance technicians from the logistics department and had them send over all the necessary tools.
He casually extended his hand, saying, "Please."
I don't have time to argue with him about these things. For Sasha's sake, I can only honestly go and fix it.
Even though I grew up in an orphanage and consider myself quite familiar with hammering and banging, it still took me until almost 7 p.m. to finish the job.
I didn't even have time to change out of my dirty clothes. I rushed to the laundry to pick up the suit, then returned to my and Song Yafei's house. I personally dressed Yu Chengliang in the suit from head to toe, making sure it was neat and tidy.
Looking at the two smiling faces in front of me, I suddenly felt extremely annoyed.
Because, in order to match Yu Chengliang, Song Yafei actually wore the same dress she wore the day she gave me the gift.
It was a matching couple's outfit that went with the suit.
That day, Song Yafei happily hugged my neck and said to me, "Look, these two outfits are a pair, and we are a pair too, a pair for life."
My throat feels sore.
My eyes were foggy, and I started feeling dizzy again.
Let me come to my senses.
They've already left.
Handsome men and beautiful women.
A mistress and a high-priced CEO.
She will undoubtedly become the center of attention at the banquet.
I didn't have much time to imagine that scene. Instead, I endured the pain in my stomach, slumped on the ground, held my phone, and stayed up all night.
I'm waiting for Song Yafei to make the payment.
However, I did not receive it until dawn.
I think she might be drunk.
He'll transfer the money to me when he wakes up.
Feeling much more relieved, I went to the hospital.
Sasha had just finished chemotherapy. When she saw me, she smiled brightly and reached out for me to hug her.
I held her and talked to her for a long time.
Xu Hu and Zheng Xin also came. They were also children from the orphanage. They heard about Sasha's situation and came to visit her.
"Brother Zhang, you really know how to coax a child. Sasha is more excited to see you than anything else."
I gave a bitter smile and didn't comment on those words.
What good is being able to soothe a child? I can't save her!
As I left, Xu Hu and Zheng Xin exchanged a glance and followed me out.
I assumed he was leaving like me, so I didn't think much of it.
To my surprise, as soon as he followed me into the corridor, he pulled me to the stairs.
He grabbed my arm urgently and urged me, "Brother, don't worry too much about the money."
I'm confused.
Xu Hu shook his head: "I heard about your situation from the hospital director. If you really have some money saved up, treat your own illness first. We will try our best to help Sasha."
"What can you do? What can you do? Sell your organs or kidneys? Or do you have to break the law?"
I suddenly became furious.
I don't even know who I'm going to take my anger out on.
Xu Hu was so startled that he let go of my arm: "Brother."
I paused for a moment, trying to soften my tone: "Don't worry about the money, it should arrive in the next couple of days."
Xu Hu was too afraid to speak, and could only nod timidly: "Then Zheng Xin and I will cover the expenses for the next two days."
I gritted my teeth and agreed to their decision.
But in my heart, I still felt that I should contribute more, and even more.
In the years since I married Song Yafei, most of the funding for the orphanage has come from Song Yafei and other charitable organizations and kind-hearted people.
However, their sponsorship can only be used for the orphanage's daily operations and expenses.
There is nothing else.
Sasha has been sick for quite some time now.
Without informing me, the hospital director's mother was able to continue chemotherapy, which undoubtedly means that most of the funding came from Xu Hu and his team.
These children who come from orphanages will eventually pour all their tenderness back into this home.
I am no exception.
"Okay, then I'll leave the next few days to you."
"It's nothing," Xu Hu said with a wry smile. "Brother, what we've contributed is nothing, what you've done is..."
He couldn't continue speaking.
If you keep talking, it'll sound like you're taking advantage of me.
I patted him on the shoulder: "Go back and keep a close eye on Sasha. If you're tired, take turns working shifts. Don't overwork yourself."
"Oh, oh," Xu Hu replied blankly.
I left the hospital, but I still hadn't received any payment notifications on my phone.
I'm afraid that if I bother her again, I'll anger Song Yafei, and the money will be completely lost. Then all my efforts will have been in vain.
I can only keep waiting.
On the way back, I frequently picked up my phone, and also tried to find some jobs that I could do online.
My body is too weak, and I get sick from time to time.
The pain meant I was unable to work normally, so I could only find odd jobs or outsourced work in remote corners.
While browsing a job posting page for an advertising company, I received a call from Yu Chengliang.
