How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 197

197. Specially Returning from the US to Mock a Patient is Immoral—So What If a Ride-Hailing Driver Has Some Money?

Yang Chen said helplessly, “Madam, I think you might have some misunderstanding about this condition. It definitely has nothing to do with me.” The female passenger retorted, “I’ve got internal injuries and erosion because of you, and you say it has nothing to do with you? If your car hadn’t bumped me, would I have suffered internal injuries?” The doctor couldn’t stand it anymore and quickly asked Yang Chen to leave, then explained to the female passenger in detail what G-cervical erosion [a now outdated and often misused term for a common cervical condition] is.

After listening to the doctor’s explanation, the female passenger blushed instantly.

“Alright, alright. Can I leave now?” the female passenger asked. The doctor nodded and said, “Go to the billing department to settle the medical expenses, and then you can leave.” Longmei Hospital is notoriously expensive, and upon hearing that she had to settle the bill, she immediately felt guilty.

“How much will it cost, approximately?” the female passenger asked. The doctor replied, “Not much, about five thousand yuan, I think. Don’t worry, we have a detailed bill, and we will never overcharge.” The female passenger was shocked. She only came to the hospital to see a friend, but ended up spending more than five thousand yuan herself, which was unacceptable to her.

However, she also knew the prices at Longmei Hospital and was embarrassed to refuse to pay. But she definitely didn’t want to bear these costs herself.

“Go and have that driver pay. He knocked me over, so he should take responsibility,” the female passenger said.

The doctor said, “But your condition has nothing to do with the driver. Aren’t you trying to extort him?” The female passenger retorted, “What extortion? Watch your words! Even if my condition has nothing to do with him, if he hadn’t made me faint, I wouldn’t be here for examination and treatment, and I wouldn’t need to spend so much money. Right?” The doctor and nurse were speechless, but if you really thought about it, what she said seemed to make some sense.

She was sick, but she didn’t necessarily have to get treatment at the expensive Longmei Hospital. It was because she argued with Yang Chen and fainted that the hospital examined her, which led to these expenses.

The doctor couldn’t reason with her, so he had to come out and talk to Yang Chen. Yang Chen wasn’t a pushover, so how could he be blackmailed by her like this?

“Madam, if you insist on this, then let’s call the police. We’ll do whatever the police say. Okay?” Yang Chen said.

The female passenger said, “Okay! Call the police!” Yang Chen nodded and called the police. The female passenger angrily took out her phone, opened the Didi app [Chinese ride-hailing app], and gave Yang Chen a bad review.

“The driver has a terrible attitude, argues with passengers, makes passengers faint, and even hits passengers with his car. The worst thing is that he sent the passenger to Longmei Hospital while she was unconscious. What kind of place is Longmei Hospital? Is that a place ordinary people can go? Just examining me cost more than 5,000 yuan, and this trash driver is unwilling to pay the medical expenses. Future passengers must keep their eyes open and never choose this trash driver’s car.” At this moment, the system issued a reminder.

“Congratulations to the host for receiving a bad review. The system rewards the host with the [Three Absolute Needle Technique], which takes effect immediately.” Instantly, a map of human acupuncture points appeared in Yang Chen’s mind, and a small wooden box also appeared in his pocket, containing the three silver needles rewarded by the system.

The female passenger saw Yang Chen’s pocket suddenly bulge and immediately pointed at him, saying, “You… are you being a pervert? You dead pervert.”

“What did I do to be a pervert again?” Yang Chen asked, confused. The female passenger said, “You… you’re reacting to me, aren’t you being a pervert?” Yang Chen looked down and was speechless, wanting to jump off a building to end it all.

“I can’t reason with you. Let’s wait for the police to handle it,” Yang Chen said helplessly, turning around and leaving the ward.

Luckily, she mistakenly thought Yang Chen was aroused, otherwise, it would have been difficult to explain the sudden appearance of a small wooden box in his pocket.

Soon, the police arrived. After understanding the situation, the police determined that the female passenger should bear the costs herself. Her condition had nothing to do with Yang Chen, and she should bear the consequences herself.

With the police’s opinion, Yang Chen didn’t need to pay attention to her anymore. He turned around and took the elevator upstairs to find Chen Chunlan.

Chen Chunlan was happy to see Yang Chen and practically jumped off the bed to greet him.

“Chenzi, you’re here. Come sit down, Teacher wants to discuss something with you,” Chen Chunlan said with a smile. Without her saying it, Yang Chen knew what she wanted to say.

Yang Chen said with a smile, “Teacher Chen, you don’t need to worry about the medical expenses. I have shares in this hospital, and the costs will be greatly reduced. I’ve also arranged a movie for Yanni recently, and it’s already in preparation. Our life will get better and better, so you don’t have to worry about money at all. Your condition has just been controlled, so stay for a while longer for nursing.”

“But I heard the doctor say that the condition has been controlled. Just take medicine to maintain it, and do a comprehensive examination in half a year, and it should be fine. I think I should go home. There’s no need to spend so much money here every day. Teacher can’t make money now. If I still spend so much money every day, it will bring a great burden to you and Yanni, and Teacher will feel guilty. Chenzi, just listen to Teacher and handle the discharge procedures for me,” Chen Chunlan said.

The two argued for more than ten minutes, but in the end, Yang Chen couldn’t persuade Chen Chunlan to stay in the hospital any longer.

The elderly may have different ideas from young people. She feels that if she doesn’t make money and becomes a burden to her children, she will feel guilty.

“If you want to be discharged, then so be it. I’ll hire a nanny to take care of you.” At this moment, Chen Chunlan’s phone rang.

She looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar name and was stunned for a moment.

“Who’s calling? Why don’t you answer? Do you need me to leave?” Yang Chen asked. Chen Chunlan quickly said, “No, no… It’s… it’s a classmate from my college days calling. I don’t really want to answer.” Soon, the phone rang again.

Chen Chunlan took a deep breath and answered the phone. Chen Chunlan: “Zhang Xiaoyi, I didn’t answer, why do you still call?” Zhang Xiaoyi: “Oh, Xiaolan, I heard you have cancer? Oh, it’s so pitiful. God is blind, how could he be so cruel?” Chen Chunlan: “No need to wail, I’m already better. What’s up? Say it quickly if you have something to say, hang up if you don’t!” Zhang Xiaoyi: “Xiaolan, we’re sisters, and we haven’t seen each other for more than twenty years. I heard you have cancer, so I immediately came back from the US to see you. You don’t have to be so fierce to me, right?” Chen Chunlan: “You came back from the US?” Zhang Xiaoyi: “Yes! Li Qiang and I came back together. No matter what, you two had an unforgettable past.

I heard you got cancer, and he was so worried that he dealt with all the properties in the US and came back. Alas… I don’t even know who is more important in his heart.” Chen Chunlan: “Hehe… Thank you for your kindness. Your not coming to see me is the greatest help to me. I’m going to handle the discharge procedures, bye!” Zhang Xiaoyi: “Ah? Handling the discharge procedures? Not treating it anymore? Oh… Look… I didn’t know your illness was so serious. If I had known, I would have let Li Qiang come back to see you sooner. Sister, wait, we’ll be there tomorrow, hang in there.” Chen Chunlan: “You’re a lunatic! Get as far away as you can!” After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Yang Chen asked, “Is someone looking for trouble?” Chen Chunlan sighed and briefly told Yang Chen about the past.

Chen Chunlan and Zhang Xiaoyi were college roommates and usually got along very well. Chen Chunlan’s first love was Li Qiang, and the two were considered a golden couple in school.

But Chen Chunlan didn’t know that Zhang Xiaoyi had always had feelings for Li Qiang, and often took her out to spend time with Li Qiang.

During her junior year, Chen Chunlan got drunk on her birthday, and Zhang Xiaoyi slept with Li Qiang next to her.

When Chen Chunlan woke up and cleaned up, she found the used condom and realized what her two closest people had done while she was drunk and asleep.

Chen Chunlan broke up with Li Qiang without hesitation, and the adulterous couple got together. Later, Li Qiang’s parents immigrated to the US, and he took Zhang Xiaoyi with him.

For the past twenty years, the three had hardly had any formal contact, and they knew each other’s situation through classmates or social media.

Now that Li Qiang and Zhang Xiaoyi have disposed of their assets in the US and returned, Zhang Xiaoyi will definitely come to Chen Chunlan to show off.

Yang Chen nodded, understanding the situation. According to Chen Chunlan, Li Qiang and Zhang Xiaoyi were a pair of adulterous dogs [a derogatory term for adulterers].

If they came to see Chen Chunlan properly, Yang Chen wouldn’t interfere. After all, the past feelings were between the three of them, and others couldn’t say anything.

If they dared to mock Chen Chunlan, then Yang Chen would definitely not let them have a good time.

“If they want to see you, let them come, otherwise, it will seem like you have something to hide. If they come to see you properly, we will warmly welcome them. If they dare to have any messy ideas, as long as you nod, I will definitely make them regret doing so. Be confident, we don’t have to be afraid of anyone now. Okay?” Yang Chen comforted.

Chen Chunlan smiled slightly and said with a gratified expression, “Okay, okay, the greatest achievement in Teacher’s life is having a student like you. Haha… Help me with the discharge procedures, I want to leave here.” Yang Chen nodded and went out to handle the discharge procedures for Chen Chunlan.

Chen Chunlan had already sold her house in Suzhou to pay for treatment. Yang Chen had said before that he would let her live in the old house, so he would take her there later.

Yang Chen was waiting in line to handle the procedures when suddenly a roar came from not far behind him.

“It’s him!” Everyone in line turned to look, including Yang Chen. The female passenger who demanded that Yang Chen take responsibility walked over aggressively with a girl who looked like Dilraba [a popular Chinese actress].

Yang Chen was helpless. Why was she sticking to him like a plaster?

The two walked up to Yang Chen, and the female passenger pointed at Yang Chen and said, “Xiaxia, he is the Didi driver who made me faint and cost me more than 5,000 yuan.” Yang Chen quickly corrected, “Madam, we have to speak with conscience. You have a problem with your own body, how can you blame me? The police said it was your own physical reason and had nothing to do with me. Are you still trying to blackmail me?” The female passenger still argued with the old excuse, “Even if it’s because of my body, I didn’t need to have an examination and treatment here if it wasn’t for you. Things that can be done for a few hundred yuan in other hospitals cost more than 5,000 yuan here. How much money did I waste?” The girl named Xiaxia quickly said, “Xiaoqin, don’t say that. Since it’s your own fault, then you can’t blame others. I think you should thank him. If you two hadn’t argued and caused you to faint, you wouldn’t have had a physical examination, and you wouldn’t have discovered these problems. Okay, I’ll pay for your medical expenses, so don’t be angry. Did you give him a bad review? Delete it quickly.” The female passenger: “Xiaxia, whose side are you on? Shouldn’t you be helping me? Why do I feel like you’re siding with him? You girl, could it be that you think he’s handsome and are bewitched by his appearance?” Xiaxia quickly glanced at Yang Chen and immediately said, “Oh, don’t talk nonsense. Okay, let’s hurry up and line up to settle the bill.” There is some truth to the saying that appearance reflects the heart. This Xiaxia looks like Dilraba, is beautiful and kind-hearted, while that female passenger is not only ugly but also a rogue.

Yang Chen quickly completed the discharge procedures for Chen Chunlan and left. Although the old house Yang Chen used to live in was a bit dilapidated, it was already very satisfying for Chen Chunlan.

She had become homeless to pay for treatment. If Yang Chen didn’t let her live in the old house, she would have to rent a cheap house in the suburbs.

After settling Chen Chunlan, Yang Chen went out to drive. Yang Chen couldn’t visit Chen Chunlan every day, and Zhang Yanni couldn’t come back often because she was filming.

Therefore, Yang Chen personally selected a nanny and brought her to the old house. At this time, Chen Chunlan was standing at the entrance of the community, looking around.

Yang Chen stopped the car and asked, “Teacher Chen, what are you doing?” Chen Chunlan: “Chenzi, you’re here. Alas… Li Qiang and Zhang Xiaoyi are here, and they asked me to wait for them at the entrance, saying they brought too many things. Actually, I don’t want to see them, but I think you’re right. I don’t have anything to hide, so why should I be afraid of them?” Yang Chen said with a smile, “You’re right to think so. I hired an aunt to come back to take care of your life from now on.” Chen Chunlan: “Oh, Chenzi, don’t waste money. If you do this, I will feel very guilty. I think I can still take care of the most basic things, so I don’t need someone to take care of me.” Yang Chen: “Don’t refuse, your health is the most important thing, so Yanni and I can do our own things with peace of mind. Okay, you and the aunt go up first, I’ll wait here.” Chen Chunlan: “You don’t know them, how can you pick them up? I’ll wait a while.” Yang Chen nodded, parked the car, and waited with Chen Chunlan.

After a while,

a taxi stopped, and then a middle-aged couple dressed in fashionable clothes got out of the car.

Chen Chunlan’s eyes lit up, and a smile couldn’t help but appear on the corner of her mouth. It seemed that this couple was Li Qiang and Zhang Xiaoyi, and from Chen Chunlan’s smile, she was still very happy to see her old friends after more than twenty years, and she didn’t ignore the past feelings because the two had let her down.

Alas… Chen Chunlan is still too kind. People come to mock her miserable fate, but she still smiles for the sake of past feelings.

The smile on Chen Chunlan’s face quickly disappeared, and her face quickly turned dark. Zhang Xiaoyi took off her sunglasses and looked at Chen Chunlan for a few seconds, then ran over with a smile.

“Xiaolan, haha… I finally see you again!” Chen Chunlan said expressionlessly, “It’s been a long time.”

Yang Chen and the nanny stepped forward to help Li Qiang with his things.

Li Qiang came to Chen Chunlan with a face full of guilt and sadness, then he smiled slightly and said, “Xiaolan, long time no see.” Zhang Xiaoyi quickly hugged Li Qiang’s arm and said, “Qiangzi, I said Xiaolan would definitely not be angry, see, I was right? I know her too well.” Chen Chunlan glared at Zhang Xiaoyi and turned to leave.

Li Qiang and Zhang Xiaoyi quickly followed. Zhang Xiaoyi looked around and said, “Xiaolan, didn’t you live in a villa back then? Why do you live in this kind of broken community now? This house must be at least 30 years old, right? It’s a dangerous building, it’s not safe.” Chen Chunlan: “I divorced him a long time ago, and the villa was sold, and the money was spent. Later, I took my daughter to Suzhou and bought a house, but I sold it because I needed treatment. This house is the old house of my student behind me. He saw that I had nowhere to live, so he let me live here temporarily. It’s good to be alive, I’m very content.” Zhang Xiaoyi: “Tsk tsk tsk… It’s really too miserable. Oh, no, I mean it’s really unfair. How could such a good person like you have such an experience? Sometimes I really don’t understand God’s will, Qiangzi, don’t you think so?” Li Qiang nodded with an awkward smile.

Soon, the group arrived at Yang Chen’s old house. This community was indeed nearly thirty years old, so naturally, it looked old in all aspects.

Zhang Xiaoyi: “Oh, how can you live in this kind of place? If it really doesn’t work, you can rent a better house, why treat yourself so badly? It’s really hard to imagine that there are still such broken houses in Haicheng. Our villa in Los Angeles is also more than twenty years old, but it still looks very new. Qiangzi, why is there such a big difference?” Li Qiang: “The villa is our own, and we maintain it at any time. These unit buildings are all communal, and residents can’t maintain the house individually, so it can only get more and more dilapidated.” Before entering the house, they were mocking and showing off.

Not to mention that they let Chen Chunlan down, even if Chen Chunlan let them down, they wouldn’t have come to show off and mock her at this time. They really had no humanity.

After entering the house, the aunt started to get busy. Yang Chen sat aside playing with his phone, and Chen Chunlan chatted with the two of them.

Zhang Xiaoyi: “It’s really hard to imagine that you’ve been divorced for so long. I advised you to keep your eyes open back then. Businessmen with money are not honest, but you just didn’t believe it. Although Li Qiang hasn’t been rich and powerful in his life, he has been honest and his work is stable. Oh, by the way, the reason why we came back this time is that Li Qiang was admitted to Haicheng University of Finance and Economics to be a professor of finance. Although he doesn’t earn much, it’s only more than one million a year. But the school gave us a house and a car, which will arrive tomorrow. You know the environment there is very good, very suitable for people of our age to live in.” Yang Chen couldn’t listen anymore and quickly interjected to change the subject.

“Are only the two of you back? Did your family come back?” Li Qiang and Zhang Xiaoyi’s faces changed suddenly, looking a little embarrassed.

“Huh? Did their whole family die? Otherwise, why would they have this expression?” Zhang Xiaoyi forced a smile and replied, “My parents-in-law have passed away, and we don’t have any children, so of course only the two of us came back.” Yang Chen nodded and said, “Then you are really comfortable, just take care of yourselves. Unlike Teacher Chen, who has a beautiful daughter. To raise her, Teacher Chen spent all her savings. Fortunately, Yanni is very promising and has become an actress. She is filming on set right now, otherwise, she would definitely come back to welcome you two. When Teacher Chen gets old in the future, Yanni will definitely support her. You two are different, you can go directly to the nursing home to enjoy other people’s services. Oh, by the way, I suggest you adopt a child. If you don’t have children, the nursing home may not accept you. Even if they do, they will abuse you and not treat you like human beings. Because you don’t have children, no family members, they can abuse you however they want. Many old people lose weight and become unrecognizable after entering the nursing home, and they don’t last long before they die, and their property is confiscated. You have lived a carefree life, don’t end up in this way.” Chen Chunlan couldn’t help but laugh and said, “You two are really a match made in heaven, not allowing anyone to destroy your relationship, not even children. If I had known that you two were like-minded, I should have taken the initiative to fulfill you, and I wouldn’t have made you two illegitimate, and I wouldn’t have hated you for more than twenty years.” Li Qiang and Zhang Xiaoyi’s expressions were a little ugly, and their smiles became awkward.

The first counterattack was successful, and Li Qiang and Zhang Xiaoyi’s eyes flickered, obviously guilty and embarrassed.

Chen Chunlan gave Yang Chen an affirmative look. Young people have stronger observation skills and faster minds, easily turning defeat into victory.

Speaking of not having children, Li Qiang and Zhang Xiaoyi can be considered to have been punished by God. After the two were together, Li Qiang never used contraception, and Zhang Xiaoyi had an abortion as soon as she got pregnant.

Later, the two got married, but because they had too many abortions, it was not easy to get pregnant. After some treatment, they finally got pregnant.

Then Zhang Xiaoyi gave birth to a son, and the family immigrated to the United States. The child encountered misfortune when he was 7 years old.

There is a saying on the Internet

“Free America, shootings every day.” Their child was shot and killed by a white gunman who broke into the school while he was in class.

This incident hit the two hard, and they were already 40 years old at that time. Later, they tried to have another child, but they never got pregnant.

They even did IVF, but

they didn’t succeed. Later, the two resigned themselves to fate, probably because they were together illegitimately, and now God was punishing them.

This incident has always been a pain in the hearts of the two, but Yang Chen didn’t know the truth. He just thought that the two came without children, probably because they chose to be DINKs [Double Income, No Kids], so he wanted to use children to help Chen Chunlan win back a round.

If Yang Chen knew the truth, he would definitely not use this to stimulate them. However, the words had already been spoken, whether intentional or unintentional, Li Qiang and Zhang Xiaoyi were very angry now.

Zhang Xiaoyi changed the subject and said, “Let’s talk about this later, I can’t take care of these things now, I’m only concerned about Xiaolan’s health. Xiaolan, you were discharged from the hospital like this, are you really planning to give up treatment?” Li Qiang: “Why don’t you try going to the United States? The medical level in the United States is at least twenty years ahead of that in China. You will definitely be cured there.” Chen Chunlan: “I’m already better, no need to go to the United States. This student of mine is very capable and arranged for foreign experts to come to Longmei Hospital to treat me. My condition is now under control, and I just need to take medicine to maintain it.” Li Qiang: “Alas… Xiaolan, why are you pretending with us? We are in the United States, how can we not know the medical situation in the United States? Not to mention you are a Chinese, even if you are an American, you need to queue up for an appointment. For your kind of illness, it is impossible to get an appointment in less than a year and a half.” Zhang Xiaoyi: “Xiaolan, don’t be polite with us, and don’t misunderstand our meaning. We really want you to receive the best treatment. As long as you can be cured, you will have at least twenty years of good days to live, don’t give up treatment.” If you just listen to what they say, it is indeed very touching.

But if you see the expressions on their faces when they speak, everyone will want to beat them up. The two have smiling faces and deliberately squint their eyes at Chen Chunlan, isn’t this clearly mocking her condition?

Chen Chunlan patiently explained to them that her condition was really under control, but they just didn’t believe it.

At this time, Yang Chen said with a smile: “Uncle, Aunt, Teacher Chen’s condition has really been controlled. I have some connections in Longmei Hospital, why don’t I introduce you to a fertility expert and let him diagnose you to see if you can have another child? Children are the future of the motherland and the hope of the family, don’t give up treatment.” Second counterattack!

Li Qiang and Zhang Xiaoyi were full of embarrassment, their faces were a little red, and they looked quite angry. They were the ones who were immoral first, running back from afar to mock Chen Chunlan. To deal with immoral people, you should use even more immoral methods, otherwise, they will not be able to understand how their behavior has brought to others.

Zhang Xiaoyi is old and has no idea of having children. But Li Qiang is a man, and he has the idea of passing on the family line and continuing the incense.

The most important thing is that Li Qiang doesn’t believe that Yang Chen can have a relationship with Longmei Hospital. How awesome is that hospital? Ordinary tycoons are not good there, how can Yang Chen have a relationship there?

“Are you pretending to be a big shot in front of me? I’ll see how you can keep pretending! Damn, dare to make fun of me for not having children, bastard!” Li Qiang thought to himself, then he said with a smile: “Young man, you’re not joking with your uncle, are you?

Do you really have a relationship in Longmei Hospital?” Yang Chen nodded and said, “Of course! Teacher Chen’s illness was treated in Longmei Hospital. You are right, the United States has so-called free medical care, and you have to make an appointment in advance for major and minor illnesses. I grass, who the hell knows they are sick first? You have to make an appointment when you are sick, doesn’t that mean you have to suffer for a long time? So I asked someone to let the experts from the United States come to treat Teacher Chen immediately. If you want to have children, I can introduce you to an expert. Domestic, foreign, you can choose whatever you want. It’s just that the cost is a bit expensive, you should know the nature of Longmei Hospital. Can you afford it?” After entering the hospital, no matter whether you can cure the disease or not, don’t even think about paying less than a penny.

As the third shareholder of Longmei Hospital, it is right to win customers for the hospital, after all, Yang Chen has to share dividends at the end of the year.

Want to scare people with expenses? Li Qiang said it was impossible! Li Qiang said with a smile: “I understand, I understand. Then you can help us make an appointment with a Chinese expert to see first, and if it doesn’t work, then change to a foreign expert.” Come on, it sounds good, make an appointment with an expert to see.

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Give me your phone number, I’ll call Longmei Hospital and let them contact you later.” Li Qiang quickly gave Yang Chen his newly registered phone number.

Yang Chen called the president of Longmei Hospital and ordered: “President Li, I have an old couple here who have never had children. You can arrange for an expert to diagnose them. If domestic experts can’t cure them, you can call foreign experts. They are my friends, so be sure to treat them seriously. I’ll give you his number, and you can contact him later.” Not long after Yang Chen hung up the phone, Longmei Hospital called Li Qiang.

Li Qiang and Zhang Xiaoyi both showed shocked expressions, this speed is too fast, right? Is this the speed of China?

If this were in the United States, the hospital would not be able to contact you without waiting in line for a few months. Li Qiang: “Yes, yes, yes… Okay, okay…” After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiaoyi asked: “Did you really make an appointment?” Li Qiang nodded, both of them were incredulous.

Chen Chunlan said with a proud face: “How is it, my student is not bad, right? The greatest pride in my life is having such a student, my daughter has never made me feel proud.” Show off students?

Hehe… Li Qiang and Zhang Xiaoyi instantly became energetic. Chen Chunlan is just a kindergarten teacher, how dare she show off whose student is better with Li Qiang, who is a university professor?

Isn’t that courting death!
