When the boy heard Lu Tao's question, he looked up at him and answered in a muffled voice, "My name is Lin Pingping. Lin Susu is my sister."
From his tone and expression, Lu Tao could tell that this was a very honest and honest boy who had not seen much of the world. He was probably frightened by his sister's incident, so he looked a little guilty and timid. His eyes were also evasive, and he did not dare to look at Lu Tao in the eyes.
Therefore, Lu Tao sat down next to Lin Pingping, took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, and handed one to him. However, Lin Pingping shook his hand and said, "I don't smoke."
Lu Tao put a cigarette in his mouth and was about to light it up when a nurse happened to pass by and shouted, "No smoking here!"
Lu Tao was shocked. Only then did he remember that he was in the hospital. He quickly put out the fire and put the cigarette back into the pack. He leaned back on the chair, not knowing how to talk to Lin Susu, this quiet brother of his.
After sitting on the chair for a few minutes, Lu Tao suddenly remembered something that Luo Zhihui had mentioned at the dinner table. According to Lin Susu, Fatty Liang had promised to lend her fifty thousand yuan for her mother's heart bypass surgery in order to lure her into a trap. He had also promised to help her get her father out on bail pending trial …
Therefore, he suddenly asked, "Little brother, is your mother in the hospital in the provincial capital?"
Lin Pingping was a little surprised and looked at him sideways. He hesitated for a moment and nodded. "Yes."
"What's your mother's illness? Which hospital is she in? "
"She has a heart attack. She's in the provincial People's Hospital now."
"Is your mother preparing for heart bypass surgery?"
Lin Pingping turned his head to look at him again and nodded. "Yeah. The doctor originally scheduled the surgery for my mother tomorrow, but they needed to pay a deposit of fifty thousand yuan first. Two days ago, my sister paid ten thousand yuan, but the hospital said that the surgery would cost at least seventy thousand yuan. Ten thousand yuan was not enough. My sister promised them that she would get another fifty thousand yuan and send it to the hospital today. I didn't expect this to happen again. It seems that my mother's surgery can't be done. "
Lu Tao understood immediately. The reason why Lin Susu committed suicide was not only because she was ashamed, but also because she couldn't afford to pay for her mother's surgery. She also couldn't get her father out of the detention center. She felt extremely desperate and wanted to end it all by killing herself …
Therefore, he stood up and said to Lin Pingping, "Pingping, take me to the Provincial People's Hospital. I want to visit your mother."
In fact, Lin Pingping didn't know what had happened to his sister. After Lin Susu jumped off the building in the morning, the police found his phone number from her phone and called him over from the People's Hospital in the province. They wanted him to accompany her and persuade her, but they didn't tell him the real reason for Lin Susu's suicide. So he didn't know what had happened last night, and he didn't know about the grudge between Lu Tao and his sister. He thought that Lu Tao was his sister's good friend. Hearing that Lu Tao was going to visit his mother, he subconsciously looked at the two police officers and asked hesitantly, "The police officers asked me to accompany my sister in case she commits suicide again. Is it appropriate for me to go now?"
Lu Tao hurriedly said, "Your sister is being guarded by the police now. Nothing will happen to her. I'll come with you to the Provincial People's Hospital to visit your mother. It's okay. "
Lin Pingping was also worried that it would be inconvenient for his mother to be alone there, so he stood up and said goodbye to the two police officers at the door. Then he took a taxi to the Provincial People's Hospital with Lu Tao. After getting off the taxi, Lu Tao first bought some fruit from the small supermarket at the entrance of the hospital, then bought a red envelope for "Get Well Soon". He put 1,000 yuan in the red envelope and then followed Lin Pingping into the ward.
Because he was worried that his mother would have a heart attack because of the shock, Lin Pingping didn't tell her about his sister. Therefore, when she saw Lu Tao enter the ward with a fruit bag behind Lin Pingping, Lin Susu's mother immediately struggled to sit up from the bed and repeatedly expressed her gratitude to Lu Tao.
Lu Tao also greeted her with a smile and put the red envelope under her pillow. He asked about her condition and said a few words of blessing. Then he said, "Auntie, I'm Susu's best friend. She has been arranged to perform in other places by the Beijing Opera Theater, so she can't come to the hospital to accompany you for the surgery. So she entrusted me to pay the deposit for her hospitalization. You can rest assured that she will come to the hospital to accompany you as soon as she finishes her performance. "
When Lin Pingping heard his last few words, he stared at him with a surprised look. He opened his mouth and was about to ask when Lu Tao quickly turned his head, blinked at him a few times, and asked with a smile, "Pingping, do you have Auntie's ID card? Take me to pay the deposit for the surgery now. "
Although Lin Pingping was introverted, he was not stupid. When he saw Lu Tao winking at him, he knew that he was worried that his mother would be suspicious if he asked, so he quickly shut up and took Lu Tao to the doctor's office. He said to an attending doctor, "Doctor Cao, we have collected the deposit for the surgery. If we pay it now, can my mother have the surgery tomorrow?"
After getting a positive answer from Doctor Cao, Lin Pingping silently took Lu Tao to the cashier's office. Lu Tao took out his bank card and swiped it to pay the deposit of 50,000 yuan. He put the receipt in his wallet and said to Lin Pingping, "Your mother will have the surgery tomorrow. Later, the doctor will inform the family of some things and need the family's signature. Don't go to the MCH. Go and accompany your mother!"
Lin Pingping stared at him with grateful eyes and suddenly bowed respectfully to him. Lu Tao hurriedly cupped his fist in return and then hurriedly walked out of the hospital gate. He took a taxi back to the Furong District Women and Children's Hospital and walked into the elevator on the first floor. Suddenly, he found a familiar figure waiting for the elevator. He took a closer look and found that it was Du Xiaoyu.
At this time, Du Xiaoyu also saw him and suddenly showed a mocking smile on her face. She asked in her beautiful voice, "Half-countryman, why are you here? Let me guess, you are also going to visit Sister Susu, right? "
At first, Lu Tao thought that she was also here to see a doctor or visit a relative. He didn't expect that she would ask him directly if he was going to visit Lin Susu. And judging from her half-smile and ambiguous eyes, she must have heard what happened between him and Lin Susu last night. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly and asked, "How do you know that Miss Susu is hospitalized here?"
Du Xiaoyu looked at him with a meaningful look and said, "I not only know that Sister Susu is hospitalized here, but also know that you and she were framed last night and almost went to the detention center. You look quite smart, but why are you so careless and defenseless? You were drugged and didn't even know. You are a martial arts master. "
