The First Gospel Chapter 68 Leaving Home
"Listen carefully. There are two essential points to an apology. The first is a sincere attitude. Different attitudes will directly determine whether the following conversation can proceed directly. Come, let's practice this first! Gu Yun, try to pretend that I am the family member of the injured person."
"?"
Gu Yun finally turned his eyes away from the evening news, his expression looking full of confusion.
"Seriously, are you here to apologize, or do you want to challenge me?"
An Ling's eyelids twitched. This guy perfectly demonstrated what the wrong answer was. Even though she was not a relative of the injured person, she couldn't help but get angry when she saw Gu Yun just asking a question mark.
Nowadays, don’t send questions to others when you have nothing to do. It’s very impolite!
"When you apologize, you should smile!" An Ling moved closer to Gu Yun, took a deep breath, narrowed her eyes, and showed a slightly apologetic smile. She looked pitiful - this was the trick she had learned in the workplace!
"Move aside, you're blocking my view of TV."
How outrageous!
I'm worried about you!
"I won't! If you don't smile at me today, I will stand here and not leave!"
This person is so troublesome.
Gu Yun was helpless and could only force out a smile.
"Well, okay, you better stop laughing for a while."
An Ling looked solemn and obediently made way.
She had always felt that Gu Yun had the aura of a villain, especially when he looked expressionless and serious, but now she realized that this man was most deadly when he smiled.
It was a warm, innocent smile, like that of a serial killer.
"Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, so I won't force you." An Ling patted Gu Yun on the shoulder to comfort him. "Let's talk about the second point. It's very important to apologize and provide the other party with an acceptable solution. The main thing is to pay the money, so don't go in."
"knew."
Gu Yun responded absentmindedly.
In fact, he had been thinking about what the old lady said before her aura changed. She said that he had stolen their things. Gu Yun despised theft from the bottom of his heart and felt that this must be a false accusation.
What's more, he was very sure that he had never met her before, let alone stealing her things.
…
After An Ling spoke passionately about "Apology: From Beginner to Mastery" for more than half an hour, she drank a glass of water with a dry mouth .
It was already past eight o'clock, the sky outside the window had turned completely dark, but the heavy rain was still continuing.
The food she brought was almost cold, and she rushed out of the house without eating a single bite. She was now starving.
"Or, let's eat first."
She suggested, not knowing whether Gu Yun had listened to the experience she had just summarized in the workplace. If it really didn't work, the patient's family would come and she would have to negotiate.
When I opened the thermal lunch box, the aroma of food immediately filled the ward.
At this inopportune moment, An Ling used her full strength for the first time and served a table of decent food, but except for Gu Yun, she and Gu Tiantian now had no appetite.
The long waiting process is the most torturous. The injured person’s family members may push the door open at any time and may even get furious.
As the saying goes, what you fear will come true. The three of them were halfway through their meal when the door of the ward was pushed open.
The person who came in was not the injured person's family member, but the doctor An Ling had met before.
"Oh, you've eaten." He glanced around the ward and said, "Then you guys eat first. After you're done, you can pay for the medical expenses."
"Where are the patient's family members?"
"We have just contacted the patient's family by phone ."
The doctor's face looked a little unnatural. When the old lady was sent in, the nurses found a crumpled business card in her tattered bag. On it was the general manager of a small company.
When he called, the other party also stated that the old lady was his mother, but the subsequent developments were beyond everyone's expectations.
Most people would be extremely anxious when hearing that their mother had been sent to the hospital, and those with a bad temper would even get furious.
However, the person on the other end of the phone sounded very calm throughout, as if he was talking about an irrelevant person.
In the end, he said that the old lady ran away from home and the two sides had severed their relationship.
The doctor wanted to give some advice, but the old lady's son just hung up the phone.
"They don't care?"
An Ling was a little slow to react. For them, this seemed to be good news, but it might not be the case for the unconscious old lady.
"It is said that her family has drawn a line between themselves and her and severed all ties with her."
After learning about this, the doctor 's opinion of these people changed a lot. If the old lady had been wandering outside, the fractures on her body might not have been caused by this young man. Moreover, after he inquired and called an ambulance, the brother and sister not only did not run away, but also actively cooperated with their work.
The young man went with the old lady to take X-rays and do tests. Compared with the attitude of the old lady's son, he felt that Gu Yun was not the kind of gangster who would break an old lady's bones and send her to the hospital.
"The current situation is like this. Today's X-rays, tests, and hospitalization fees total 3,125 yuan. I need you to advance the money first."
"Okay, where can I pay?"
"Don't worry." The doctor shook his head. "The old lady's condition is quite complicated. In addition to the problems that have been checked, she may have other hidden diseases. It would be best if she is hospitalized for observation."
He had originally intended to say these words to the injured person's family, but who could have thought that the old lady's son would simply become a hands-off boss.
"Because I noticed that you told the emergency personnel that the old lady had convulsions and foaming at the mouth before she fainted. This does not seem to be caused by a high fever caused by a cold."
"Then continue checking."
Gu Yun said.
"It's not as simple as you think. According to the general process, the various examination fees plus the subsequent hospitalization fees will cost at least tens of thousands."
He felt that if Gu Yun really didn't do it, sending the old lady to the hospital for examination was already the most he could do. If it were someone else, they might not even pay the 3,000 yuan examination fee.
“It’s so expensive.”
An Ling looked embarrassed. She could ask her old father for support for 3,000 yuan and pay it back when she gets her salary next month, but 10,000 yuan was really beyond her financial ability.
To be honest, she didn't even want to pay 3,000 yuan.
Forget it, just consider it as spending money on four orders and getting nothing.
"How about this, I'll pay for today's checkup first, you let the old lady stay overnight for observation, if there's nothing serious tomorrow, I'll take her to live with me first."
An Ling had never encountered such a thing before. Logically speaking, she should leave now. If she went to look for her son again, he would probably put all the blame on them.
But emotionally speaking, the old lady will most likely not survive their departure.
"That's all we can do."
After telling the doctor where to pay, he left and the ward fell into a long silence.
"Gu Yun, I want to ask you a question. This question is very important. You must answer me seriously."
"Um."
"Did you really not hit the old lady at that time?"
"No."
"Didn't you touch her even a little bit?"
"No."
"So, her injuries have nothing to do with you."
"certainly."
"Okay, I understand."
