After she spoke, Ai Jiang imdiately lowered her head, probably because she was embarrassed, her cheeks flushing red up to her ears.
"And here I thought it was sothing major!" Xia Wan’an claid without hesitation, pulling out her phone: "How much do you need? Can I send it to you through WeChat?"
Ai Jiang’s voice was tiny, like a mosquito’s, she murmured two words: "One hundred thousand."
She then quickly glanced at Xia Wan’an: "I know it’s a lot, but don’t worry, I will pay you back as soon as possible. My dad got admitted to the hospital again, I need the money urgently, but I don’t have that much, so I, I..."
Before Ai Jiang could finish her stuttered sentence, her phone dinged twice. Looking down, she saw a transfer record notification from Xia Wan’an.
Ai Jiang instinctively tightened her grip on the phone.
One hundred thousand... although it was not a huge sum for her, it would take quite a while for her to save up that amount. However, for Xia Wan’an, it was nothing more than a bunch of numbers.
Ai Jiang suppressed an indescribable emotion welling up inside her. She mustered the courage to say: "Thank you, Wan’an."
"It’s okay, what matters is your dad’s health. If there’s anything else you need help with, do let know."
"I’ll surely give you an IOU then." Ai Jiang said gratefully, her eyes welling up with tears.
Xia Wan’an extended her arms, to hug Ai Jiang, "You don’t have to worry about that. We won’t talk about that between us."
Ai Jiang nodded, wiped the corners of her eyes: "I will go transfer the money now."
"Do you need to co with you?"
"No need, there’s an ATM nearby."
"Then, please go and do it quickly."
Ai Jiang nodded, muttered a couple of affirmatives, and left.
At the door of the MIX, Ai Jiang transferred the WeChat money to her bank account. When she reached the nearby ATM, the money was just credited. She inserted her bank card, input the password, and then transferred the money to her mother’s account.
On her way back to the MIX, she called her mother, "Mom, I’ve transferred the money. It should arrive imdiately. Please do the hospital admission procedures for dad. I still have so money, don’t worry about . Take care of yourself and dad. Call if there’s anything..."
After hanging up, Ai Jiang, while walking towards the MIX, looked at the surrounding high-rise buildings, and secretly vowed that one day, she would have a lot of money, so she wouldn’t have to burden her parents anymore.
Right when she was about to enter the MIX, Ai Jiang was suddenly stopped by soone.
She gave a start and retreated half a step before recognizing the person in front of her as He Che.
Why was he in her path again?
Ai Jiang furrowed her brows, but before she could speak, He Che asked: "Why did you leave ? Why did you treat like this?"
Ai Jiang noticed sothing off in He Che’s tone, and suppressing what she planned to say, she took a closer look at him. That’s when she noticed his confused eyes and the strong sll of alcohol. It seed he was completely drunk, not at all aware of what he was doing.
Ai Jiang ignored He Che and continued to walk towards the MIX.
She only walked a few steps when He Che pulled her wrist, "I know it’s you, I recognize this coat you’re wearing, I gave it to you. Tell why? Why are you like this?"
