Chapter 199 — The Wallet He Found
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"All right, thank you." Kang [**] breathed a sigh of relief and ran back to Wei Zhao's side. "Boss, American dollars are fine, but only for the deposit — not to settle the bill." "Mm, then go and pay it." Wei Zhao handed Kang [**] all the hundred-dollar bills in the wallet; as for the five-hundred and thousand-dollar notes, the cashier might not even recognize them, and might well take them for counterfeits. "You never can tell — you're quite the rich man, with American dollars too." Tang Zhi gave Wei Zhao a teasing look. So he still would not admit he was a rich young master? Who but a rich young master would carry so much money?
"Oh, this wallet? I found it," Wei Zhao said with a shrug.
"Found it?" Tang Zhi was taken aback, then rather annoyed. Did he take her for a fool? Where did one go to find such a thing? Why had she never found one? "If you don't believe me, look at the ID inside." Wei Zhao drew out Wu Chengtian's identity card and waved it before Tang Zhi's eyes.
"Ah?" Tang Zhi's eyes went wide with disbelief. The wallet really was not Wei Zhao's? He really had found it? "You really found it? Then... you still dare to spend the money inside?"
"Didn't you tell me to cover it for now..." Wei Zhao stuffed the ID card back and casually shoved the wallet into his trouser pocket.
"I..." Tang Zhi did not know what to say. "If you don't return it to its owner, how anxious he must be!"
"Ha, the owner isn't anxious at all." Wei Zhao smiled. "He gave it to me."
Would Wu Chengtian be anxious? Let him be anxious, then! Wei Zhao was not the least bit afraid of what Wu Chengtian might do; when all was said and done, Wu Chengtian could only swallow his loss in silence.
He had stolen his own wallet first, and only then had Wei Zhao taken his wallet; even if he called the police, he would gain nothing from it — and besides, would he dare call the police? The Wu family he belonged to was probably a great clan, wasn't it? Could they afford to lose face like that?
So Wei Zhao simply did not care. So what if he had spent his money? He was already being generous by not shaking him down for a hush payment on top of it.
"For me?" Tang Zhi clearly did not quite believe Wei Zhao's words, but since he had said so, she could not say anything more. Though she disapproved of what Wei Zhao had done, there was a reason behind it — Xiao Fen truly did need the hospital fees urgently.
Tang Zhi understood very well that if the medical fees were not paid in full today, Xiao Fen would likely be driven straight out of the hospital once her IV drip was finished. After all, a hospital was not a charity; without money, they would not let you stay for free.
"Boss, thank you! I will definitely pay this money back!" Kang came running back clutching the payment receipt, overflowing with gratitude toward Wei Zhao. Kang was truly moved; he felt that calling this man "boss" had not been in vain. So much money — who else could have produced it without the slightest hesitation?
"Pay back what? This little bit of money — forget it." Wei Zhao had never expected Kang to repay him, still less Xiao Fen's family. If something really did develop between Xiao Fen and Kang, then how could Wei Zhao, as their "boss," begrudge a sum like this?
"Boss..." Kang still wanted to say something, but Wei Zhao cut him off with a wave of his hand.
"Let's go. Let's hurry to the ward and have a look," Wei Zhao said.
"Right! Right! To the ward, quickly." Kang nodded, casting Wei Zhao a grateful glance.
