Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Zhao Xiaotian Is In Trouble_l
“Ye Fan, how did you get here?” Zhao Xiaotian turned around when he heard someone calling him and saw the anxious Ye Fan coming towards him.
His eyes grew a bit hazy at the sight of Ye Fan.
“You little rascal, with such a big thing happening, why didn’t you tell me about it, and only informed me when you had to raise money,” Ye Fan said angrily, punching Zhao Xiaotian on the shoulder.
This guy, he’s really something.
To think he wouldn’t tell me about such a big matter.
“It’s just that, I didn’t want to trouble you or make you worry. Thank you for the money you lent me. My dad has already gone in for surgery, and this is my mom,” Zhao Xiaotian said.
If it weren’t for Ye Fan, his own dad might not have been able to undergo the
surgery.
“Auntie, hello, my name is Ye Fan, Zhao Xiaotian’s friend. I visited your home back when we were in high school,” Ye Fan said with a smile.
‘Ye Fan, I remember you. I never expected it to be you who saved my family. Auntie thanks you here. If it weren’t for the money you lent us, my old Zhao might have really just…,’ Zhao’s mother started crying as she spoke.
She was terrified when she first heard the news.
Her son was also extremely anxious.
And thinking about the hefty sum needed for the surgery, it felt like the sky had
fallen.
Their family, being a small one, could never come up with several hundreds of thousands for surgery just like that.
Fortunately, they had Ye Fan.
“Mom, stop crying; it’s okay now. Dad’s having the surgery, and he can recover,” Zhao Xiaotian comforted her.
■Auntie, don’t worry, uncle will surely have heaven’s help,’ Ye Fan said as well.
Ah, faced with such a situation, who wouldn’t worry? Who wouldn’t feel heartbroken?
“Thank you, thank you so much, Ye Fan. Our family will remember your kindness,” Zhao’s mother said gratefully, looking at Ye Fan.
“It’s nothing, it was just a helping hand. If uncle is fine and gets through this tough time, that’s good enough. Besides, Xiao Tian and I have been close brothers for years. Helping each other out is what we should do,” Ye Fan said.
“Yes, yes, my son is truly fortunate to have a sincere friend like you,” Zhao’s mother said.
“Mom, why don’t you sit down on this bench and rest for a bit? Stop crying, if you continue to cry, when dad wakes up, he’s definitely going to scold me again,” Zhao Xiaotian said as he wiped away his mother’s tears.
Isn’t that the truth?
His own dad was always so caring towards his mom. If he let her know and she
cried, it would be the end of him.
He would certainly get an earful from his dad!
“Mm, I’ll listen to you,” Zhao’s mother nodded and wiped her tears.
“Ye Fan, you transferred five hundred thousand to me, and here is two hundred thousand. I’ll transfer it to you. Don’t worry, I will pay you back as soon as I can. I know it’s tough for you too,” Zhao Xiaotian whispered to Ye Fan when he approached him.
“No need for that, just hold on to it for now. I still have money. Use this money for uncle after the surgery to buy some nutritional supplements for recovery. After all, his health needs to be restored. He certainly won’t be able to make money in the near future, so how will your family manage financially?
“So, keep this money for now, and don’t worry about repaying me,” Ye Fan
said.
These were all issues he had considered before directly transferring five hundred thousand to Zhao Xiaotian.
“But, what about your wife and children you have to support? What are you going to do?” Zhao Xiaotian asked, looking at Ye Fan with concern.
He even spoke about this to his mother, naturally keeping his voice down so only the two of them could hear.
“No worries, I’ve acquired a company, so I have money coming in every day. You don’t have to worry about this money. Just hold onto it and use it. After you graduate and find a job and make some money, then you can pay me back. If you can’t pay me back, then come work for my company!” Ye Fan said with a chuckle, joking at the end.
Heh heh, he actually found that proposal quite feasible.
Zhao Xiaotian was the peer he trusted the most.
Besides, he had long noticed that this guy was reliable and trustworthy.
If he could work at his own company and help himself, that would definitely be
a huge boost.
Thinking this, Ye Fan felt that he was really being clever this time.
“Alright, then it’s settled,” Zhao Xiaotian said with a smile.
Working for Ye Fan, that’s no problem at all.
When things were tough for him, this guy helped him out, a true brother
indeed, and he was willing.
But what he hadn’t expected was that they were all of the same age.
He was still in school while this guy had already finished the game of Go.
What had he been doing behind his back to become so outstanding?
He had a company, kids, wife, money, etc., and they had agreed to graduate hand in hand, striving together.
Turns out, he had been left behind long ago.
However, he was happy.
Seeing Ye Fan doing so well now, he was truly happy.
“Then it’s a deal, I’ll wait for your graduation,” Ye Fan said with a smile.
He couldn’t neglect his own studies, and after a while, he’d have to start studying on his own.
The three of them waited until 4 a.m. when Zhao Xiaotian’s father was finally wheeled out of surgery.
“The surgery was very successful, it was done just in time, there’s no need to worry,” the doctor told Zhao Xiaotian’s mother.
“Thank you, thank you so much, doctor.”
“It’s nothing, let the patient get plenty of rest.”
The three followed into the ward and, seeing that there were no issues, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
“Ye Fan, there’s nothing much left to do, you should go home and rest,” Zhao Xiaotian told Ye Fan.
Now that his dad was out of danger, what’s left was just to recuperate in the hospital and then at home after being discharged. There were no more worries.
This guy still had to take care of his kid and wife.
It wouldn’t do for him to keep tiring himself out like this.
“Yeah, Xiao Fan, you go back. We have it covered here with me and Xiaotian, nothing much is going on, go get some rest. Thankyou for today,” Zhao Xiaotian’s mother also said.
“Alright then, Auntie, Xiaotian, I’ll be off then. Call me if there’s anything,” Ye Fan said, then left the hospital.
When he got home, he stripped off his clothes and the moment he lay down on the bed, he fell asleep instantly.
He had been mentally strained to the limit and was already exhausted.
So, the moment he lay down on the bed, he fell asleep within minutes.
Dawn gradually broke.
Bai Susu woke up and saw Ye Fan’s door was still closed, realizing he hadn’t gotten up yet. She didn’t go to wake him, letting him sleep in a bit more. Coming downstairs, she was having breakfast when Zhuge mentioned that Ye Fan had gone out late last night and didn’t return until almost five in the morning.
Only then did Bai Susu realize.
What was he doing going out so late at night?
Had something happened?
“Madam, it seems there was a problem with the master’s friend last night, and the master went to deal with it. I wanted to go with him, but the master wouldn’t allow it and told me to go back to rest,” Zhuge Liang said.
Last night, he had wanted to accompany him, but Ye Fan had not allowed him, saying he could handle it alone and told Zhuge to go back and rest.
