Knew Jiang Tao was coming today.
Zhao Huilan specially grood and dressed up.
Wanted to present her best self.
Although during this ti, every ti Yuan ngqi ca she would ntion Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao this, Jiang Tao that, how Jiang Tao is.
Zhao Huilan had learned a lot about Jiang Tao, but today was their first eting.
Toward this great benefactor she had never t, Zhao Huilan felt full of gratitude.
If it weren’t for Jiang Tao lending the dical expenses, she would still be suffering in pain.
If it weren’t for Jiang Tao’s help for her daughter.
Her daughter would’ve been fooled by her ex-husband.
She knew about Jiang Tao inviting her daughter and son to work together and offering a super high salary, and she fully supported it.
Lately, what Zhao Huilan often said was that the family had t a great benefactor this ti!
That kid nad Jiang Tao is definitely the great benefactor of the family!
Hearing footsteps in the hallway outside, Zhao Huilan turned her gaze to the door.
With a click, the door of the ward opened from the outside, and Yuan ngqi and Jiang Tao ca in carrying bags of gifts.
"Mom! Jiang Tao’s here."
Upon entering, Yuan ngqi said cheerfully, stepping aside to let her mom see Jiang Tao.
"Aunt Zhao, are you feeling better? I’ve been busy lately and couldn’t visit you earlier, please don’t mind."
Jiang Tao smiled and greeted Zhao Huilan warmly.
"Not at all, Auntie is just grateful you ca, how could she mind."
"Jiang Tao, good child, co sit, co sit, let Auntie take a good look at you."
Upon seeing Jiang Tao, Zhao Huilan’s inner gratitude surged like a tidal wave.
Speaking, she warmly held Jiang Tao’s hand, pulling him to a chair in front of the bed.
"Sit, sit, just coming is enough, why bring so many things, you’re really..."
Looking at the pile of gifts Jiang Tao brought, Zhao Huilan’s voice began to choke with emotion.
Since her family’s troubles, friends and relatives at most brought so milk or fruit worth fifty to a hundred yuan out of courtesy.
As for borrowing money...
These days, who doesn’t have their own struggles?
Car loans, mortgages, renovations, saving up for kids’ weddings, not many have extra cash.
Regarding Zhao Huilan’s illness, most could only donate a few hundred on crowdfunding sites.
But no more than that!
300,000!
Even if Zhao Huilan begged each family mber, she couldn’t borrow that much!
Her scumbag son-in-law divorced her daughter while she was seriously ill.
Totally selfish and heartless.
Yet Jiang Tao, a stranger, helped them most when needed!
Without any conditions, not even a promissory note, he lent 300,000!
This favor, not only would Yuan ngqi be grateful all her life.
Zhao Huilan, who directly benefited, wanted to thank him even more!
This grace is imnse, a lifeti won’t repay it!
Zhao Huilan tightly held Jiang Tao’s hand, expressing her gratitude.
Making Jiang Tao a bit embarrassed.
He had expected this.
That’s why he hadn’t co earlier.
But since he would be leaving for Beijing tomorrow, he felt the need to co say goodbye.
"Mom, look, you’re making Jiang Tao embarrassed."
Yuan ngqi chuckled, helping Jiang Tao out, and Zhao Huilan let go of his hand.
Just then, the ward door opened again, and Yuan ngjie and Lin Ranran entered.
"Mom, sis, oh, Brother Jiang, you’re here!"
"Hello, Brother Jiang."
Yuan ngjie and Lin Ranran were pleasantly surprised to see Jiang Tao, greeting him respectfully.
Looking at them, Jiang Tao smiled and asked, "Have you completed the discharge procedures?"
"Yes, Brother Jiang! We can leave this afternoon!"
Yuan ngjie said, waving the discharge papers excitedly.
Tomorrow, they’ll settle in Beijing.
The day after, Yuan ngjie and Lin Ranran will start their work—
Choosing and renting the location for the first casserole restaurant.
Though not owners, just company employees.
Both felt attached to Jiang Tao’s company due to the generous salary he offered.
They’d treat the casserole restaurant as their own endeavor.
Jiang Tao smiled, "Great, I drove here, I’ll give you a ride later."
"No, no, no need, Xiao Jiang, just have Xiao Jie fetch a taxi."
Zhao Huilan was the first to decline his offer.
Patients leaving the hospital often had trouble getting rides, drivers worried about bad luck.
Taxis waiting outside hospitals were the only ones willing.
Zhao Huilan believed in this, not wanting Jiang Tao’s car to carry any misfortune.
"No worries, Auntie, driving you is the sa."
Jiang Tao didn’t believe in such superstitions, assuring her it’s okay.
Zhao Huilan insisted firmly:
"Xiao Jiang, I appreciate your kindness, but really, no.
Better safe than sorry, it’s just wise to be respectful."
