Substitute groom: The president's husband is a bit draggy

She ran back to the study and found a random reason to trick Jiang Zhenyang, and hurriedly ran to the hospital that the person said on the phone.

When she arrived, the situation had basically stabilized, but there were some situations that could not be solved just by being stable.

The boy lying on the hospital bed was very thin, and his peers could be two heads taller than him. Because of taking medicine for a long time, his face was very pale, and he was weak even when he spoke.

But when the boy saw Lin Xiao running in, his eyes sparkled, "Mom, you finally came to see me."

Lin Xiao couldn't bear to look over, and gently stroked his head, "You should rest first, mother will take care of things here."

The doctor standing next to him sighed invisibly, full of pity.

The doctor took Lin Xiao to his office and told her about the boy's condition.

"You know that he has heart disease. The patient's physical condition is deteriorating day by day. If possible, the hospital recommends surgery as soon as possible. Otherwise..." When he said this, the doctor suddenly couldn't bear it. , the voice paused.

Anxiety flooded into her heart like a tide, and she asked nervously, "Otherwise, what will happen?"

The doctor shook his head helplessly, "Maybe we won't be able to survive this winter."

Although he had already made sufficient psychological preparations, Lin Xiao was still in a tizzy when he knew the result.

"The child is my life. I will operate on him no matter what! But can you tell me how likely is the operation?"

The doctor nodded, rummaged around the table and took out a piece of paper, "Someone had this operation some time ago, and the details are on it, you can take it back and have a look before making a plan."

Lin Xiao took the paper, and the two lines of big characters on it made her lose all hope.

"The probability of the operation being successful is 40.00%, and the treatment fee required during the process ranges from one to three million."

This includes not only the cost of treatment, but also post-operative care and some of the expensive medical machines that are required.

Lin Xiao put the piece of paper into a ball and put it in his pocket, and went back to the ward to chat with him without saying a word.

"Mom remembers that you said before that when you grow up, you will take your mother to an amusement park and play the pirate ship torrent. Do these words still count?"

Because of his illness, he could only watch other children play these games, so they made this agreement.

The dim light in the boy's eyes lit up again, and he kept nodding, "Of course! I will take my mother to many, many places and earn a lot of money for you!"

Until he left the hospital, the boy's childish and sincere words still echoed in his ears.

Lin Xiao stared at the rare sunlight in the sky for a moment, and called Ji Rou helplessly, "Can you...can you lend me some money?"

Ji Rou is busy with what she has paid, and she is not angry when she receives the call, "What kind of money do you want to borrow? As long as you finish Jiang Zhenyang's work, it will not be a problem for me to give you the money!"

Seeing that she didn't take this matter to heart, Lin Xiao became anxious.

"My son has some health problems and urgently needs a large sum of money for surgery, but after taking into account what you gave me, it is still far behind...Can you lend me some money?"

Ji Rou froze for a moment, didn't expect it to be this, and hinted, "it's okay to lend you money, but if you can't repay the money, then you have to obey me for the rest of your life, including your son It is used by our Ji family."

For a while the air became very dignified.

The rest of my life will be handed over to Ji Rou, and even my son will be driven by their family. This is not something that can be solved with a sum of money.

"What? Do you think the money is not worth it or are you unwilling to do things for me?"

Seeing that she really didn't want to talk, Ji Rou didn't bother to talk nonsense with her any more, and went to prepare for the lawsuit after hanging up the phone.

Lin Xiao, who had nowhere to go, had no choice but to ask Ji Yan for help.

"I know it's offensive to say this, but...would you like to lend me some money?"

After the silence over there, he didn't immediately refuse, but asked, "Let's meet and talk, just at the restaurant last time."

Looking at the phone in his hand, Ji Yan suddenly realized that the opportunity had come.

Although she has basically confirmed that this person is Lin Xiao, there are still some things that need to be confirmed.

She edited a text message and sent it out, waiting for a reply before getting up and going out.

"I'll go out first, and if I don't come back in time at night, I'll let Mom cook first."

After half an hour—

"I can lend you this money. Although I don't know what you are going to use it for, but since you have found me, it means that the amount must be huge." Ji Yan smiled, took out his bag and prepared it in advance. put the checkbook on the table.

"You also saw that as long as I write a string of numbers on it, you can take it away. But before that, I want to ask what do you need this money for?"

Lin Xiao's eyes were fixed on the checkbook, "My son was bullied by his classmates at school, and was sent to the hospital after being injured. His heart is getting worse and worse, and the next operation must be performed immediately, otherwise Otherwise, they may not survive this winter."

Ji Yan didn't expect this to be the reason, so he paused, "I can help you with this favor, you can pay back the money anytime, and I won't even rush you. But I still need to verify one thing, do you mind?" ?”

Now she doesn't care about anything, all her efforts are to save her son, but now if she refuses to agree, even her son will be gone.

"Okay, I promise!"

Ji Yan hummed, and nodded to the person behind the screen.

A black figure came out from behind the screen, but he didn't take off his hat, he just went to sit next to Ji Yan.

"Is this the Lin Xiao you told me about in your message? But why doesn't it look like me?"

Ji Yan didn't find such an answer, and frowned slightly, "She's not like Lin Xiao?"

This sentence sounded like a typo. After all, the person in front of him was Lin Xiao himself. How could it be different?
Or did something else happen to this matter?

Lin Xiao suddenly started to tremble when he heard that sentence, and he was flustered with naked eyes, "Is this the information you said you want to verify?"

Ji Yan nodded after regaining her senses, "Yes, I have been looking for many things about my mother, and it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I don't want things to cause any trouble."

The man didn't take off his hat, he just looked at the woman in front of him, the eyes under the hat were like sharp knives.

After looking at it for a while, he finally looked at Ji Yan, "Don't worry, this person is not Lin Xiao at all. The person I met back then didn't look like this, and she didn't have Lin Xiao's aura either."

Ji Yan didn't expect such a result at all, looking at Lin Xiao's eyes were full of disbelief and surprise, but he didn't say much.

The man looked at Lin Xiao, "Perhaps I shouldn't call you Lin Xiao, tell me what is your real identity, why do you pretend to be Lin Xiao, and what is your purpose?"

"I... I'm really not Lin Xiao. I don't know how to tell you the specific things, but what I can guarantee is that I don't have any malice towards Ji Yan!" The cooperation with Ji Rou is a secret she can't tell. .

It's a pity that her words were not believed, and instead, she received more and more suspicion.

Lin Xiao lowered his head and did not refute what he had done.

Ji Yan didn't ask any questions at the first time, but smiled and helped her out, "No wonder I felt a little strange when I saw you last time. In fact, if you look closely, you have a lot of calluses on your hands, and this is something you have been spoiled for a long time. It is impossible for Lin Xiao to have it."

The man didn't understand why she was so friendly, so he didn't say much.

"You...don't even blame me?"

Ji Yan shook her head, "Why should I blame you? In fact, I didn't ask you if you were the real Lin Xiao when we met, so it can only be considered that I misunderstood you. But I do have one thing I want to know, How much of what you said to me before was true or false?"

She can be indifferent to some things, but not about Song Jian.

Lin Xiao's face was a little tangled, as if he suddenly made up his mind to say something quickly, but he also cared about the man who had been sitting across from him with an ugly face.

"I……"

Ji Yan understood her nervousness, and took the initiative to say, "Can you help me buy a cup of milk tea with [-]% sugar and no ice on the other side of the road?"

The man went reluctantly.

After he left, Lin Xiao finally confessed, "Actually, nothing I said to you that day was true. I am not the real Lin Xiao, but I know that Lin Xiao. To be precise, I was lucky to be Lin Xiao once." Your mother's substitute, and the person who became friends with your mother during that time was not her, but me."

As for the things she said, it is naturally true.

She had a strange expression on her face, she couldn't see how happy she was when she thought about what happened back then, her smile seemed like she was about to cry.

"Did something bad happen during that time?"

Lin Xiao shook his head quickly after realizing it, "No, I've already told you what I should say, but I didn't expect your friend to know the real Lin Xiao..."

She hung her head, feeling helpless.

Now that Ji Yan has recognized his identity, the borrowed money shouldn't count, right?

Ji Yan seemed to have the ability to read minds. Seeing how ugly her face was, he took the checkbook and wrote 500 million on it, then tore off the paper and handed it over.

"The purpose of your coming to me today is for this operation fee. Naturally, I will not treat you badly after the conversation is over."

The check was so light that it could be wrapped in it and torn to shreds when the wind blew, but she held it in her hand as if being crushed by a thousand mountains, and she couldn't breathe.

"But you already know that I'm not the real Lin Xiao, why are you still willing to lend me money?"

Ji Yan got up, and said in a calm but warm tone, "I realized something was wrong when you called me to borrow money, and the other thing is that this is the condition we agreed at the beginning, and I will not go back on my word of."

Seeing that Ji Yan's frail body was getting smaller and smaller, and she was holding the doorknob in her hand and was about to push it out, Lin Xiao didn't know why he suddenly mustered up his courage, and shouted at her back.
