Chapter 1982 - 1983: Causing Losses
Ling Zhenfei said, "We have only one clinic window. Even if I go all out to treat people every day, I can diagnose more than two hundred people at most. How much loss could that cause to the surrounding clinics?"
Jiang Hui replied, "Even if there's no impact, as long as there's a bit of change in their clinic, they will feel like our Charity Hospital has taken all their business."
Ling Zhenfei nodded, "You have a point. I'm just worried they might cause trouble with us."
Jiang Hui said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Even the biggest hospitals have rogue patients causing trouble. As long as we open our doors, problems will come one way or another. No need to worry too much."
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Let's wrap it up for today. Since there's no one else, I'll head out first."
Jiang Hui looked at Ling Zhenfei and asked, "Are you leaving already?"
Ling Zhenfei didn't quite understand Jiang Hui's intent, but it seemed like she had something to say. However, with Qin Guan and Xie Shuyao around, he wasn't sure what to say.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Why don't we go for a walk and chat?"
Jiang Hui nodded and said, "Sure, let's take a walk by the river at the back."
They exited through the back door of the Charity Hospital, and after passing through a small forest, a river appeared.
Both sides of the river had been developed into small parks, with benches and chairs, and the scenery was quite nice.
The two of them walked to the riverbank, and Jiang Hui took out a tissue from her pocket, wiped the seat, and let Ling Zhenfei sit down.
Facing the river, Ling Zhenfei said, "You have something to say to me, don't you?"
Jiang Hui said, "Yes, you've noticed, I do have something I want to tell you."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Just say what's on your mind, why make it so mysterious?"
Jiang Hui replied, "Maybe there are things that can only be spoken when it's just the two of us."
Ling Zhenfei glanced around, ensuring there was no one else, and said, "There's no one around now, so just say what you want to say."
Jiang Hui asked, "Am I considered your woman, or what do you take me for?"
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback by this question, as his relationship with Jiang Hui was indeed a bit complicated.
In the beginning, when they first met, Jiang Hui was used by a paparazzi who wanted to dig up dirt on him.
Unexpectedly, due to a twist of fate, something happened between Jiang Hui and Ling Zhenfei, and it wasn't just once.
Later, he even saved Jiang Hui and her family, and since then, Jiang Hui had been following him.
Jiang Hui was capable in her own right. When Xi Shan Restaurant was being established, she contributed significantly.
Because Jiang Hui was open-minded, she quickly became someone Ling Zhenfei trusted greatly. Ling Zhenfei never hid anything from her.
Jiang Hui never brought up the matter of official status, which made Ling Zhenfei feel she was different.
This time, Ling Zhenfei entrusted the Charity Hospital matter to Jiang Hui because he believed she would do a good job.
But since Jiang Hui suddenly asked this question today, Ling Zhenfei was taken aback.
Yes, she's stayed with him for so long, done so much. She deserves an explanation.
Seeing Ling Zhenfei hesitate, Jiang Hui laughed and said, "I know this isn't easy for you to talk about."
Ling Zhenfei said, "It's not that it's hard to say, because you know my situation very well. Can you help me think of a way?"
Jiang Hui laughed and said, "You've got quite a few girls around you, each one prettier than the last, stunningly beautiful. No matter how pretty or outstanding a girl is, in your presence, it seems to mean nothing.
Maybe I'm confident around others, but knowing so many excellent girls are around you makes me feel quite pressured."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Since you've chosen to talk about this today, I really want to know what your choice is?"
Jiang Hui thought for a moment and said, "I just want to know what the situation is now. How many women can you actually accommodate around you?"
After hearing Jiang Hui's question, Ling Zhenfei was also confused. How should he really reply?
Ling Zhenfei said, "Jiang Hui, you've been by my side for so long, but you've never asked this question. Is there a reason you're asking it today?"
Jiang Hui nodded and said, "You know, I still have a mom. Given my age, I should have been married with children in our town long ago, so my mom is urging a lot."
Ling Zhenfei understood now, Jiang Hui was being pressured to marry.
Ling Zhenfei said, "I really don't know what to do about this, but I'd like to deal with it when I come back.
You know I have to go to a very dangerous place, which is truly hazardous. If I can come back safely, then I will address these issues.
If I don't come back, then this problem is solved. If I die, the matter naturally sorts itself out, as there are plenty of outstanding girls who won't have any trouble finding someone to love them."
Jiang Hui looked at Ling Zhenfei, surprised. Though he mentioned before that the place he was going to was risky, he hadn't said it was this dangerous.
"If it's so dangerous, can't you just not go? Can't we find a place and live our lives peacefully?"
Ling Zhenfei replied, "Of course, I don't want to go, but some things are beyond our control. There are things I have to do."
Jiang Hui said, "I can't accept that. No one's holding a knife to your throat right now. If you leave now, who's going to stop you?
Let's just leave, take any girl who wants to come along, and head to an island. Doesn't Moergawa have lots of islands? We can live on one of those.
Let us have a bunch of kids, then you can be the king. What do you think?"
Ling Zhenfei chuckled and said, "Sounds wonderful. But even that is something to consider for when I return. If I don't make it back, just find someone to marry."
Jiang Hui said angrily, "What are you talking about? You must come back, do you know how many girls are waiting for you?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm saying this because it's better to be prepared. Even if you don't find me, when I leave, I will need you to take care of this. Only you can handle this matter."
Jiang Hui asked, "What matter?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "If I really don't come back for a long time after going to that place, then don't wait for me. You need to inform everyone around me.
My sister-in-law, my sister—there are many things to resolve, and the sooner, the better."
Jiang Hui said, "Why do you always speak so negatively? With your strength, good things will be destined for you. How could anything happen?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "No incidents would be best. If I really come back, we'll do what you said and move to an uninhabited island at Moergawa."
Jiang Hui remained somewhat silent. Originally, she came to speak with Ling Zhenfei, but unexpectedly, she was left speechless by him.
