Chapter 6758
You Can't Afford That Money
A hint of provocation flashed in Yunxi's eyes, which were meticulously lined with eyeliner.
She deliberately swayed her slender waist and moved closer to Yun Yuyan with a swaying gait.
Her face, heavily made up, was almost touching Yun Yuyan's.
Her bright red lips were slightly parted.
The warm breath he exhaled almost touched the other person's ear.
However, her deliberately lowered yet incredibly clear voice, like a cold snake's tongue, pierced the ears of everyone present, word by word.
"Oh, look at this poor, shabby appearance."
"He exudes an air of shabbyness from head to toe."
"I doubt they even know which way the hospital's main entrance faces."
"And you still dare to shamelessly claim that you paid tens of millions in medical expenses?"
"I don't even look at how much I weigh."
Zhou Meilan was initially stunned by this sudden turn of events, her eyes wide with surprise.
His body was frozen in place as if under a spell.
Upon hearing Yunxi's words, her body stiffened abruptly, as if she had been suddenly injected with some kind of power.
The rhinestone-encrusted silk scarf around her neck slipped off her shoulder with her sudden movement.
It flickered a few times under the light.
It then hung limply on her arm.
However, Zhou Meilan was, after all, a shrewd and worldly woman.
She quickly recovered from her shock and resumed her usual shrewd and capable demeanor.
Her fingers, painted with bright nail polish, pointed straight at Xiao Chen like sharp daggers.
The face, heavily made up, flushed slightly with anger and questioning.
The foundation on my face is showing signs of cracking.
She deliberately dragged out the last syllable, her voice sharp as a blade slicing through glass.
"Kid, you said you paid the medical bills, so where's the receipt?"
"Show it to everyone!"
"Without an invoice, how can anyone know what malicious intentions you have based on your mere words?"
"Maybe they're just trying to trick us and take advantage of us!"
"Yeah, do you dare come with us to ask the doctor?"
Seeing Zhou Meilan make trouble, Yunxi immediately responded.
Her already arched eyebrows arched even higher now.
His eyes were full of disdain and mockery.
She crossed her arms over her chest.
The gold buttons on her Chanel suit gleamed coldly under the bright corridor lights, as if silently proclaiming her sense of superiority.
She and Zhou Meilan sang in perfect harmony, their voices complementing each other perfectly.
Their footsteps formed a pincer movement, slowly approaching Xiao Chen.
Every step felt like it was treading on Xiao Chen's heart.
The doubts on their faces weighed heavily on Xiao Chen like physical shackles.
They tried to completely crush Xiao Chen's words in this cold and hostile hospital corridor.
Xiao Chen listened to Yunxi and Zhou Meilan's sharp, sarcastic, and aggressive questioning.
A slight smile unconsciously crept onto his lips, and a quiet joy welled up inside him.
The smile held a hint of helplessness in the face of the absurd scene before him.
It also reveals a certain confidence in one's own abilities.
Although he didn't understand why a single surgery would cost tens of millions of dragon coins.
But he knew in his heart that in the eyes of ordinary people, the cost of a surgery was as high as tens of millions of dragon coins, which was simply an astronomical figure.
It's enough to leave most people speechless and deter them from even trying.
After all, for those who struggle to make ends meet and live frugally every day, tens of millions of Dragon Coins may be an unattainable fortune in a lifetime. They might have to think twice before spending even a few hundred Dragon Coins.
They racked their brains to save a little money on living expenses.
Therefore, it is understandable that Yunxi and Zhou Meilan would show such shock, doubt, and even disdain when they heard him casually mention that he had paid tens of millions in medical expenses.
However, Xiao Chen's world and social standing are completely different from theirs.
In his world, the accumulation of wealth has reached an unimaginable level.
For most people, Dragon Coins are a guarantee of livelihood, a support for dreams, and a precious resource that can only be obtained through hard work and relentless struggle.
But to him, it was nothing more than a string of cold, emotionless numbers in his account.
The enormous wealth that is unattainable for ordinary people is just a fraction of his daily expenses.
It is something that can be used at any time without much consideration.
So, while Yunxi and Zhou Meilan were still arguing about getting an invoice.
They looked him up and down with a skeptical gaze, as if he were a conman trying to scam them.
Xiao Chen had already easily completed the payment of tens of millions of dragon coins through a convenient payment method.
He felt that he had no need to explain anything to these two inexplicable and unreasonable women.
In his view, arguing with them about these things was like arguing with a child who doesn't understand math about complex formulas—meaningless and a waste of time.
He prefers to focus his time and energy on more important things.
Instead of wasting time on these pointless arguments.
However, Yun Yuyan had clearly misunderstood.
Seeing that Xiao Chen didn't speak, she thought that Zhou Meilan and her daughter had guessed correctly.
They assumed that Xiao Chen had not paid the fee at all.
She was both anxious and angry, but she didn't want to embarrass Xiao Chen in front of these people.
So she quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Xiao Chen.
He spoke in a firm and clear voice.
“My boyfriend said he’s committed, so we’re committed. You don’t need to worry about it.”
"My mother is very weak right now and needs to rest. You should leave now and not disturb her here."
Yunxi stood aside, taking in the entire scene before her.
Looking at Xiao Chen's seemingly calm but somewhat guilty appearance.
I became increasingly certain of my inner suspicions.
Her already upturned lips stretched into an even wider grin.
A mocking smile appeared on his face.
That smile was full of disdain and contempt, as if watching an utterly absurd farce.
She deliberately raised her voice and said in a sarcastic tone.
"Yun Yuyan, you really have a knack for finding someone to act all high and mighty, trying to put on a show in front of us?"
"Let me guess, that so-called Dr. Xiao, could he be your boyfriend who boasts of his 'great abilities'?"
"Hmph, you're broke but still trying to save face. Don't you even know your own worth? What are you pretending to be, rich guy!"
After Yunxi finished speaking, she deliberately let out an exaggerated laugh.
The laughter echoed in the quiet corridor, sounding particularly jarring.
Xiao Chen was so angry at what Yunxi and her daughter said that he trembled all over.
His teeth were chattering.
His hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
My fingernails are almost embedded in my flesh.
He felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of his heart.
He wanted nothing more than to rush up and teach those two unreasonable, mean-spirited women a lesson.
Let them know how powerful I am.
However, he quickly regained his senses and realized that protecting Yun Yuyan was the most important thing right now. (End of Chapter)
