The day passed quickly.
On the third day, Chen Feng arrived at the hospital at nine-thirty in the morning, accompanied by Sun Xiaorui.
After returning last ti, Chen Feng told Sun Xiaorui about Chu Xiaoling, and upon learning about it, Sun Xiaorui felt very sympathetic towards Chu Xiaoling.
Knowing that today was her first chemotherapy session, Sun Xiaorui decided to co and visit with Chen Feng.
Before Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui arrived, the other three roommates of Chu Xiaoling were already there, as well as her class advisor, Fan Hong.
Knowing that Chen Feng was financially assisting Chu Xiaoling with her treatnt, Fan Hong couldn't help but thank Chen Feng profusely.
After chatting with her for a bit, Chen Feng went with her to Doctor Chen's office to have a preliminary discussion.
Doctor Chen now knew that Chen Feng was a kind-hearted person providing financial support without any personal connection to the patient, Chu Xiaoling, and thus, he held Chen Feng in even higher regard.
As doctors, they were used to various patients, sotis even appearing cold and indifferent without much sympathy, but in their hearts, they naturally still harbored so kindness and compassion. It's just that they've witnessed too many of these human tragedies at work, which makes them appear that way.
After communicating with Doctor Chen, learning that Chu Xiaoling's condition was still relatively optimistic as long as the money was in place, the hope of a cure was great, so there was no problem.
Chu Xiaoling was pushed by a nurse to get ready in advance, and the chemotherapy officially started at eleven o'clock, which would take about three or four hours.
Since Chu Xiaoling kept her illness a secret from her family, she strongly opposed Fan Hong contacting her grandmother. Not only has her grandmother recently broken her leg and cannot get out of bed, notifying her would only make her worried. Her younger brother and sister were not yet adults either, and notifying them would also be useless, only causing them concern.
Therefore, she didn't have any family present during her chemotherapy today, but with three roommates, her advisor, and Chen Feng there with her, Chu Xiaoling felt content and very touched.
Before being wheeled into the operating room, she expressed her gratitude to them once more.
After she was taken away by the nurse, Chen Feng chatted with Guo Yixiu and Fan Hong for a while before leaving with Sun Xiaorui.
Chen Feng didn't have much to do, and there was no need to stay for another three to four hours, the sa for the advisor, Fan Hong.
After ensuring that Guo Yixiu and the other three roommates would stay at the hospital to wait, Fan Hong left with peace of mind, reminding them to call her if anything ca up before she left.
Chen Feng did the sa, asking Guo Yixiu to notify him after Chu Xiaoling's chemotherapy was over so that he could visit her again, and also planning to inquire about Doctor Chen's next treatnt plan and the expenses required for the upcoming treatnt.
Once Chen Feng, Fan Hong, and the others left,
the three girls, Guo Yixiu and the others, had nothing to do but sit on the benches in the corridor, chatting casually.
Zheng Yanni asked, "Do you think that woman was his girlfriend before?"
Guo Yixiu said, "I don't think so. Mr. Chen didn't introduce her to us, and she remained quiet, just staying by his side without saying much, looking more like a secretary than a girlfriend."
Hearing this, Li Xiaoyu felt sowhat soothed from her earlier irritated mood. She had originally planned to seize the opportunity of eting Chen Feng today to connect with him.
Unexpectedly, Chen Feng brought along the beautiful Sun Xiaorui. Even from a woman's perspective, Sun Xiaorui was stunning, with a great figure, a pretty face, and good temperant.
If she were a man, she would also like a first-class beauty like Sun Xiaorui.
Earlier, Li Xiaoyu even suspected that Sun Xiaorui might be Chen Feng's girlfriend.
Now, after hearing Guo Yixiu's words, she felt sowhat relieved. But she could see that Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui's relationship was not ordinary; it was definitely more than just a secretary or assistant. Otherwise, in this situation, there was no need for Chen Feng to bring a secretary or assistant along.
"I saw that woman standing quite close to him, definitely not just a simple secretary. In any case, there's sothing going on between them," Zheng Yanni said with certainty.
Guo Yixiu thought about it and didn't refute. Because it seed like Chen Feng and that woman indeed appeared overly intimate; she had seen them standing almost arm in arm before.
"Even if they do have a close relationship, it has nothing to do with us. As long as he can continue to pay for Xiaoling's dical fees, that's all that matters."
What Guo Yixiu said was correct, so Zheng Yanni had nothing more to gossip about.
As for Li Xiaoyu, she didn't participate in the conversation from the beginning to end. In her heart, she still hoped to establish a connection with Chen Feng. Even if she couldn't be his girlfriend, being his lover for a period was a backup plan.
In today's society, not many people care about a woman's chastity anymore. While it may not be laughing at poverty rather than prostitution, it seed that way to her. Compared to won who run salons to make money, people look down more on the poor without money.
She still preserved her chastity, but it was mainly because she hadn't found a man worth the commitnt. But if it were soone wealthy and decent like Chen Feng, from high society, who was good-looking and kind-hearted, she could definitely use this as a stepping stone into high society.
Li Xiaoyu had always been a decisive girl, ever since she was a child.
After leaving the hospital, Chen Feng, with Sun Xiaorui, heard her sentintally say, "This Chu Xiaoling is really pitiful, burdened with family responsibilities at such a young age, and now this illness. Your financial help to her is really a good deed. Not only did you save her life directly, but you also indirectly helped her family. Doesn't she have a brother and a sister? If sothing happens to her, her brother and sister will likely have to drop out of school, and their life paths would change."
Chen Feng hadn't thought so deeply, but hearing her words, he smiled and said, "I decided to help her just because I believe in fate. Plus, I'm not short of money and haven't done much charity before, so I thought I'd just do a good deed this ti. Otherwise, it would seem I'm being wealthy but unkind."
Sun Xiaorui shook her head and said, "How can you be considered 'wealthy but unkind'? You pay a lot of taxes to the country every year, and so of that definitely goes towards public welfare and charity. Indirectly, you've also contributed and done good. Moreover, you run your business properly, without stealing, robbing, or doing anything illegal. That already makes you better than a lot of rich people."
Hearing her sowhat flattering words, Chen Feng couldn't help but smile and said, "By your logic, all legitimate business people who earn money don't need to engage in charity."
"Regarding public welfare and charity, not everyone has the sa mindset. So people just don't want to do it, so do it to evade taxes and gain fa, and others for personal gain. You can't say that those who engage in charity are good people, and those who don't, aren't."
