Redeeming The Golden Ticket To Life

Chapter 75: Qiang Gets Bashed Left And Right!

[POV Zhang Wei]

When I received the medical report for Bai Chang, I knew she would be upset. After all, she really resisted this times' routine check-up. Every time she only gets irritated to go to the hospital. But this time, it was a downright tantrum thrown to avoid going to the hospital.

Right now even Mr Hu has been banned to enter the property for a week. His withered face describes his pain well. At least I don't have to suffer like Ming Li. Poor guy has to suck up all of Mr Hu's tantrum.

While I have to deal with 'her'.

***

In the study room-

When I revealed that her medical reports were here, she already knew the results and the conclusions were drawn. 'How?'

And then she revealed the impossible. 

"We have what now?"

"We already have a fully equipped high functional private hospital on this very property," she replied calmly as if stating the obvious.

I had a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that we had an entire functioning hospital on the property, hidden away from everyone's eyes.

I simply stared at her, no words could explain my emotions right.

"We will have a few more guests joining us shortly, then I guess, it's time to give you all a tour of my private hospital." 

"Huh"

"Just wait a few minutes, they are already on our doorsteps." 

Before I could ask any further, the doorbell rang.

"Go, open the door and try to calm them down a little, while you are at it. Okay?" 

Then she went back to her work, effectively bringing our conversation to an end.

I walked out of the study room.

The Living Room-

Currently, in the living room, the entire Hu family was present. There was Chairman Hu, Madame Hu as well as Hu Qiang. While the Hu parents were moving around like a headless chicken, trying to decide should they go up or not, while Mr Hu was sitting in a corner all by himself, trying to minimise his presence.

"Dear, should we directly talk to her? Would she think that we are being too aggressive?" Chairman Hu thought aloud.

"Who knows, old man it was your idea to see her in the first place."

"As if you weren't worried after seeing the reports."

"Zhang Wei, what is she doing right now?" Madame Hu asked.

"She is in her study room. Working," I replied.

"Should we head upstairs?" Chairman Hu enquired to no one in particular.

"You useless fellow, what are you doing hiding in a corner?" Chairman Hu pointed his spear of anger towards his son.

"I am"

"What are you mumbling?"

Mr Hu shrank his neck while still trying to minimise his presence.

"Chairman Hu, Mr Hu has been banned from entering the property for a week by Bai Chang," I replied, to ease him as well as to make him suffer a bit as Bai Chang suffered from his dragging and insistence to go to a hospital a few days back.

"What?" Madame Hu seemed interested, "What did you do this time?" she inquired.

Mr Hu avoided answering, trying to hide away from his parents.

He needs some more earful from his parents, otherwise, he would remain banned for a long time to come. After I had talked with Bai Chang this morning, I knew she was mad at Qiang. Though she only banned his entry, she might not share her thoughts with him anymore.

"Chairman Hu, Madame; let me tell you what all transpired here!" I replied to them.

I explained how Mr Hu forced Bai Chang to go to the hospital for an early medical check-up just based on a few off-hand comments. Totally over-reacting and making Bai Chang uncomfortable.

With gradual explanation, they had a new target to get their frustrations off their chest.

"You did what?" Chairman Hu almost growled.

"My daughter, this is how you take care of her?" Madame Hu chided him.

"Are you trying to make her hate us? Listen to me very carefully, if she alienates us because of you, we will not think twice abandoning you. She is more precious than you," Chairman Hu stated.

"But the test results did come with some concern, stating she is anaemic," Mr Hu mumbled under his breath.

I curtly replied to this, "Did you ask her, why she didn't want to get tested? Did you give her a chance to even speak up?" 

(This idiot, I am trying to make things okay between all of them, and he is simply flushing all my efforts down the toilet drain. He really deserves to be thrown out of the Villa.)

"What? Now you turned tyrannical to my daughter!" Madame Hu exclaimed. 

Both of them looked flushed from anger and rising blood pressure. Need to get back the pace. If this keeps up, I guess Bai Chang would not come out of her study room at all.

"Chairman Hu, Madame; please calm yourself. Here have some freshly squeezed lime juice to help you hydrate," I quickly served them juice. 

"You are staying away for half a month. Don't show your face here, after today," Madame Hu dictated.

While Mr Hu, who was sitting in a discrete corner, visibly slumped after hearing his mother's order.

(Poor Mr Hu, I pity him but I don't want to take his place either.)

"Chairman Hu, Madame; She had her own reasons for the medical report. it's best if she explains it to you herself. Please wait patiently and you will have all your answers," I informed them.

"So that means you are aware of the reason, I take it?" Chairman Hu questioned.

"Yes, Sir. I was made aware of it this morning myself. Still, it is best for everyone if she explains it to you in person. It concerns her privacy and breaches my confidentiality clause. So I would prefer if you ask me no more questions."

"We understand, you did your job satisfactorily. Unlike some else in this room. I see, she still has sharp eyes to judge a person and his character," he affirmed.

"What about me?" Mr Hu spoke up.

'Idiot..'

"You are a blip in her spotless record. That too it is our mistake, that she is even married to you. You should be aware that she only took you in to give Xiao Wei a stable home. Otherwise, I doubt she would take a second glance at you," Madame Hu mercilessly put down Mr Hu.

"I will get you some appetizers to charge up while taking a look if she is done with her work," I suggested.

"No need to bother her, we will wait. She must be in-between something serious if she is taking her time," Madame Hu said.

"Where is Xiao Wei, I don't see him around?" Finally Chairman Hu asked for his grandchild.

('I really wonder to myself was Mr Hu their own biological son?' He has it rough it seems in the family. I noticed, even Xiao Wei, his biological son, doesn't like him much or rather at all. The entire Hu family is dedicated affectionately to Bai Chang.')

"Chairman Hu, he is sleeping upstairs after going through intense morning exercise and studies," I informed them.

"He is exercising! It was so difficult to get him to actively pursue health exercise," Madame Hu wondered aloud.

"Bai Chang accompanies him for his morning exercise as well as tutors him personally."

"Really, that's great, that's totally great," Chairman Hu looked towards his son and said, "watch and learn, this is how you raise kids. By just sending them to coaching classes or private tutors are no means to educate your kids," he flared.

"Who was the one who assigned dozens of private tutors all day long and rarely showed his face to me, when I was young?" Mr Hu said softly under his breath.

"You brat what did you say?" Chairman Hu roared in anger.

"Where is my cane, dear get me a cane, he really needs beating to understand the language of humans," he roared.

As I saw them almost coming to blows, I interrupted.

"Please calm down, let me go upstairs and look for Bai Chang, while you wait here."

I quickly make my way towards the stairs.

As I walk towards the stair I hear light footsteps on them.

'She finally decides to show up.' I shake my head helplessly.

As she passed by me, she softly said, "Thanks, I owe you one."

Our eyes met, we understood each other, I replied softly, "Let me win one round in COD then."

"You got it." She replied and moved on. It was a quick exchange of words.

"I am so sorry to keep you all waiting. I really had some work to push through. I apologise for my tardiness." she said apologetically.

"No, No, No. You need not apologise, after all, we came unannounced." Madame Hu patted her head to comfort her. 

"I am sorry, father," she turned to Chairman Hu and apologised.

"No need, we rushed to see you as we were worried after Qiang told us about your medical report. We got scared that something happened to you, all over again."

"I am sorry I made you all worried."
