Chapter 24: Never Make a Deal with the Devil
"Your grandmother's birthday banquet isn't over yet, is it? You should hurry back, don't let her worry again." Banxia didn't really want to be alone with him, so she spoke sensibly and considerately.
Huo Qinglin couldn't wait to leave, and when he heard her say this, he didn't hesitate further.
"Alright, I'll arrange for someone to take care of you as soon as possible. I'll also cover all your hospital expenses. And here, this card has five hundred thousand on it; take it for now." As he spoke, Huo Qinglin pulled out a card from inside his jacket and handed it to Banxia.
Banxia looked at him, uncertain. "Qinglin, why are you giving me money? I can't spend your money."
"Just take it. Actually, when you gave the hot water bottle to my grandmother, she started suspecting that I wasn't treating you well. I was at fault before, always neglecting these things. Now, take this card. Get whatever you want. Buy more clothes too. Being Huo Qinglin's woman, you can't afford to look shabby."
"Thank you, Qinglin. Then I'll accept it for now!" Banxia eagerly took the card. Not only would she take it, but she also planned to spend every last cent.
Huo Qinglin watched her take the card with a delighted and excited expression. A cold sneer formed in his heart: What a materialistic and vulgar woman.
Beaming just because of a bit of money? Utterly pathetic.
As soon as Huo Qinglin left, Banxia lazily propped up her leg and closed her eyes to rest.
