The next day.
When Li Dong opened his eyes, Qin Yuhan was quietly putting on her clothes.
Li Dong yawned and said, "Why are you up so early?"
"I still have class in the morning. I have to go back to school later."
"Take a day off."
"The class in the morning is very important. I can't take it."
Qin Yuhan saw that Li Dong was a little disappointed. She leaned over and kissed him. She giggled and said, "I'll look for you after class."
Li Dong thought for a moment and said, "I still have something to do in the morning. If everything goes well, I may go back to Pingchuan in the afternoon."
This time, it was Qin Yuhan's turn to be disappointed. She asked, "Can't you stay for one more day?"
"It depends. Maybe I can't leave today."
Li Dong did not know if Wang Jia could leave today. If she could, he had to leave today.
Wang Jia's mother was still waiting for surgery. Although Li Dong was reluctant to part with Qin Yuhan, he could not delay it. Wang Jia's mother's health was deteriorating day by day. The earlier she went back, the earlier she could have surgery. Li Dong did not have to deliberately delay it.
After hearing Li Dong's words, Qin Yuhan did not try to persuade him anymore. She only reminded him, "Give me a call when you go back. Be careful on the road."
Li Dong nodded, got up, and got dressed.
After breakfast, Li Dong sent Qin Yuhan back to school. Then, he made a detour to the hospital.
…
Third Hospital of Beijing Medicine.
"Chief Chen, do you think she can take a plane in her current condition?"
"If it's not urgent, I suggest she rest for a few more days. If it's really urgent, she should be able to be careful."
Hearing the doctor's words, Wang Jia breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Dong, "I can do it. Li Dong, let's go back in the afternoon."
Li Dong thought for a moment. Seeing Wang Jia's anxious face, he finally nodded.
When Zhou Haidong was done with the discharge procedures, Wang Jia urged him to hurry up.
Seeing this, Li Dong smiled and said, "It's still early. The flight is at 1: 30 in the afternoon. Going to the airport now is a waste of time."
As he spoke, Li Dong said, "You rest in the hospital for a while. I have something to do."
Wang Jia asked, "To see your girlfriend?"
Li Dong nodded. Although Qin Yuhan said that he could just make a phone call, Li Dong felt that it was better to meet her.
Besides, now that he had returned to Pingchuan, he did not know when he would return to the capital again.
Wang Jia didn't say anything else. After Li Dong left, Wang Jia said softly, "Brother Zhou, have you seen Li Dong's girlfriend?"
Zhou Haidong nodded and said in a muffled voice, "Yes."
"Is she beautiful?"
Zhou Haidong thought about it and nodded. "Beautiful."
"How beautiful?"
Zhou Haidong was a little dumbfounded. He said dryly, "That, that …"
Wang Jia laughed and did not pursue the matter.
Zhou Haidong breathed a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that it was not easy to be a bodyguard these days. If he had known this would happen, he would have followed General Manager Li and asked Cao Hongbing to stay behind to protect her.
…
After getting off the plane, Li Dong let out a long breath.
Wang Jia's body was in good shape. Although she felt a little uncomfortable on the way back, it was not a big deal.
After two days, he finally got her back. Li Dong felt that he had really done a great service this time.
As his thoughts ran wild, Wang Jia said weakly, "Li Dong, thank you for this time."
Li Dong waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't be so polite with me. It was something that happened in passing."
Seeing this, Wang Jia did not continue. Some gratitude should be kept in the heart. It was useless to say nice things.
After talking to Li Dong for a while, Wang Jia said, "I'll go to the hospital on my own. You must be tired running back and forth for my matter. Go back and rest."
"You're going to the hospital now?"
"Yes. I haven't seen my mother for a few days. I'll go see her now."
"Tomorrow. Go back and wash up. Tidy up before you go. Your mother will probably be more worried if she sees you like this."
Hearing Li Dong say this, Wang Jia smiled bitterly.
She was not fit to see her mother in her current state. Not only had she lost weight, she had not bathed in the past few days in the hospital. Her body smelled.
Wang Jia did not insist. She nodded and said, "Then I'll go tomorrow. I'll be leaving first."
Li Dong was worried. "Let me send you back."
Wang Jia shook her head and said, "No need. I can do it on my own."
"Why don't I get Fang Qingfei to pick you up?"
"There's really no need. I'm almost recovered. I can do it on my own," Wang Jia declined.
Li Dong glanced at her and asked, "Where do you live?"
Wang Jia coughed softly and said with a smile, "I'll stay at Feifei's."
From her tone, Li Dong knew that she would not go to Fang Qingfei's. As for Wang Jia's concerns, Li Dong also knew that she was afraid of those loan sharks.
Wang Jia was afraid of those loan sharks, but Li Dong did not care. He said, "How about this? My cousin is living alone now. You can make do with her for a few days. You're familiar with the place. It's in the Wanyuan District. My cousin can take care of you."
As a man, it was not convenient for him to take care of Wang Jia. It would be no problem to leave it to Cao Yu.
In addition, Cao Yu and Cao Feng lived across the street. If she needed a man's help, Cao Feng could also lend a hand.
"There's no need, really. Li Dong, you've helped me so much this time. You've also helped my mother a lot. It's not appropriate to trouble you again."
Wang Jia quickly refused and said, "I can't stay in Pingchuan for long. After visiting my mother, I have to go back to Beijing."
She could not stay in Pingchuan for too long. Those loan sharks had better noses than dogs.
Wang Jia had dealt with them before and knew what they were capable of. They might not know that as long as she showed her face in the hospital, those people would find her in less than a day.
The last time she sneaked back to visit her mother, she was almost stopped by those people.
This was also the reason why she did not come back. She knew that if she was caught by those people, it would not end well.
"Are you really going to hide like this for the rest of your life?"
"I'll work hard to earn money. After I pay back the money, they won't bother me anymore."
"Naive!"
Li Dong shook his head. Wang Jia's thinking was too simple.
Unless she paid it all in one go, she would not be able to pay off the loan sharks. With Wang Jia's current salary, she would not be able to pay it off in this lifetime.
Li Dong said, "Don't think about it. I'll help you deal with it later."
Wang Jia hurriedly said, "Li Dong, there's really no need …"
Her father's debt to the loan sharks was not a small amount. It was almost two million yuan now.
Wang Jia could accept borrowing money for her mother's treatment, but she could not bear to borrow money to pay back the loan sharks.
"You think I'll help you pay back the money?"
Li Dong rolled his eyes and said angrily, "It's not that easy to take my money. Anyway, you don't have to worry about this. Just go to my cousin's place and live."
Wang Jia wanted to say more, but Li Dong said impatiently, "It's settled then. Why are you being so wishy-washy?"
Wang Jia was so angry that she wanted to bite him to death. This guy wanted to be a good person, but could he not be so sarcastic?
She was originally very grateful, but after a few words from him, her gratitude was immediately halved.
Although she was afraid of implicating Li Dong, Wang Jia could not refuse Li Dong's help at this time. In the end, she sighed and did not refuse.
