Mian formed a humble smile. "Well, this is the job I get paid for doing."
Su Meilin wiped her eyes, gratitude was obvious in her eyes as she paid Mian a colossal accolade, "You didn't only save my son's life but mine as well. None of the surgeons was optimistic about this surgery. Instead of my son's life assurance, they gave us death's! However, you proved them wrong! Finally, we can breathe again. I will always be beholden to you for saving my son!" She smiled at Mian with real warmth, before her eyes got engrossed in the beauty of the divine being in front of her.
Su Meilin knew, at first glance, Mian was very beautiful; but at the time in question, the distressed Su Meilin was too preoccupied with anxiety to admire the beauty before her eyes, and at once tried to prevent her husband from causing any 'mischief', lest he should extirpate them all.
However, now, Su Meilin thought if she were a man, she would chase the black haired beauty; travelling the world, climbing the mountain, swimming in the blue ocean, and splurging on her, happily.
The woman had spring's soothing beauty with delicate yet sharp features, large brown eyes lined with black lashes, and the most desired height. She was full of youth and innocence.
"It was a whole team effort, everyone did their best." Mian stated, she found it a little onerous to deal with the idolization in the eyes of the cute bunny.
Clearly, Mian was cognizant of her beauty and reluctant to garner attention for this.
The initial frostiness vanished from Qian Juexi's face, now that he was facing Mian. His gaze swept over her in mute respect, and compliments as he spoke, "Thanks Dr. Mian. Give me your account details. I will transfer $100M to your account." He toned down his voice as much as he could.
Stunned, Mian was speechless for a few moments.
However, being an eloquent person, Mian immediately regained her equanimity. She smiled at Qian Juexi sweetly, her smile was as gentle and refreshing as the moon on the full moon night.
"You have got a very big heart Mr. Qian! $100M for a surgery?! This is the reason I like rich people so much!" Although, there wasn't anything much sugary in what Mian said compared to others' blandishment, however, her expression and tone of voice made her stand out from all.
Qian Juexi was slightly flummoxed and found himself out of wits for the first time in life, at Mian's shameless remark.
Conversely, Su Meilin displayed a gentle expression. 100 million was nothing compared to her lifeline's life.
Because of some previous complications in Yangyang's birth, Su Meilin couldn't conceive ever again. If anything were to happen to Yangyang, they would have been childless for the rest of their lives. Thus, Mian definitely deserved this much.
Moreover, Mian was not acting like those undeserving white-eyed wolves, who always coveted big things. Nevertheless, if confronted, they would act like it was unfeasible for them to even think that.
Qian Juexi didn't carry a checkbook with him, as he always used cards. Hence, he fished out his cellphone from his pocket, seemingly wanting to note down the information, "Your account details?"
"My surgery fee is $1M. You can submit the money in the cashier's stall on the first floor; and about the rest of the money, you can donate it to an orphanage. No need to mention my name there. Many children of your son's age can benefit from it. They can get better education and better healthcare. In fact, I know about an orphanage which is 100% genuine, 'Hope And Welfare Orphanage'.
"...." Su Meilin's eyes enlarged dramatically.
Qian Juexi took a good look at Mian, and took in her serious face.
By putting on a show of venerating the acts of charity, celebrities nowadays attained the self-contradictory effect of being cash-rich themselves. However, Mian wasn't in the entertainment industry, thus, it wouldn't benefit her. Anyway, it wasn't any extravagant request that was beyond logic and undoable. He would do, as she wished.
Director Fu, who had been lurking behind the stairs, leaped forward post-haste. His pot belly jiggled, and meaty legs almost lost synergism, as he leaped. Mian's words were nothing less than a thunderbolt that slit his heart into two slices.
"$100M for the surgery? We accept money in all ways possible!" He told Qian Juexi hurriedly, having a smile long enough to separate his upper face from his jaw and double chin. The rushing blood reddened his face and sweats could be seen glistening on top of it, from the few step's run.
Mian didn't bother to open her mouth, instead, she just shot the Director a withering glance.
She wasn't violating any rules, $99M was a reward, not her payment, which had to be submitted in the hospital's fund.
Director Fu's smile twitched a little, however, he avoided Mian's gaze with a thief-like expression.
This little wordless interaction was caught in Qian Juexi's hawk-eyed. "Director seems to be very fond of money?" Qian Juexi asked, a bone-chilling coldness floating in his squinted eyes. He wanted to wipe the pretentious smile off Humpty Dumpty's face.
The smile threatened to fall from Director Fu's mouth. "Son of bitch! Fond of money? That's my inborn inclination!" He cursed inside, as his monolids eyes quiverd.
Mian's attaining such admiration from the most-feared gangster, reminded the Director of that beautiful tree, anchored on top of a huge rock, yet extracting vital minerals, nutrients and moisture from the stone just perfectly.
She must have been held in high esteem, otherwise, such an astronomical amount for a surgery was literally unimaginable!
"I heard you wanted to reward Dr. Mian $100M. That's why…" Director Fu offered a clumsy explanation.
"Dr. Mian wants us to donate the money to an orphanage." Su Meilin answered, then suddenly, she became conscious of her disheveled appearance.
Holyshit! How was she looking standing beside this tip-top goddess?!
Su Meilin dipped her hand into Qian Juexi's pocket, and when it came out, there was an additional packet of wet tissue in her hand.
Apparently, Qian Juexi was wet tissue user, not handkerchief. Su Meilin wiped her face clean, brushed her messy hair using her fingers at full tilt. As Yangyang's condition stabilized, her BDD started getting back at her.
