You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 198 You Convinced Me

"Mo, how did you shoot 100% for a triple-double?"

"Focus, wholehearted, good form, that's all."

Countless reporters asked questions, and Mo Mengchen answered them one by one.

By the end of the press conference, it was getting late.

Mo Mengchen didn't want Poser to wait too long, so he asked Collins to resign.

"Go early and return early."

The team won five consecutive victories, Collins was in a happy mood, and agreed to Mo Mengchen's request.

In order to avoid reporters, Mo Mengchen made a semi-professional disguise, unless he is an acquaintance who gets along day and night, it is difficult to recognize him.

He is not yet a well-known star in the United States, but his performance in Atlanta tonight is so good that he doesn't want to have any scandals with a single rich woman with an amazing net worth.

Doria Restaurant

Poser sent Lorenta home to sleep first, because she knew that Mo Mengchen still had to deal with the press conference and it would not end so soon.

Until then, she dresses up a little.

In the restaurant, Mo Mengchen saw her.

Poser couldn't recognize Mo Mengchen at first sight. He was wearing thick clothes, a golden wig, a pair of black-rimmed glasses covering his shiny eyes, and a fake beard.

How much does it take someone who knows him well to recognize him at a glance?
"What are you doing? Imitating Die Hard?" Poser asked with a smile.

Mo Mengchen sat down comfortably, and he had to confirm whether it was safe here, there were no reporters nearby, and whether the waiter recognized him.

"Don't worry, as long as no one notices you when you come, and no one follows you, I guarantee that no third person will know what happened tonight. There are only you and me here."

They acted as if they were cheating adulterers, how could things be so complicated?It's just a private meeting with the patient's family in the middle of the night...

Although Lorenta is not yet his patient...

Momun took off his glasses. Although they were prescription-free, they were uncomfortable to wear.

"Is Lorenta asleep?"

Mo Mengchen didn't leave either, talking and opening the menu, he was indeed hungry.

"Sleep, she had a great time tonight, you showed her a great game, she's going to love the NBA."

Mo Mengchen called the waiter and ordered a steak and a glass of Coke.

"Won't this be unhealthy?" Poser heard that NBA players have a regular diet and basically don't drink carbonated drinks.

Mo Mengchen said: "I am still very young, and my body recovers quickly."

Also, you shouldn't be interested in it, madam?
Poser was really not interested, she just wanted to start a conversation.

"Doctor Mo, your recent competition..."

Are you mistaken, you really want to talk to me about the NBA?I don't want to talk about the NBA with a single mom.

Mo Mengchen interrupted her: "Why don't you be more direct and talk about Lorenta?"

"Would you like to talk?" Poser asked.

Mo Mengchen said: "I didn't want to talk before, but now I just feel like this. If you don't want to, then let's stop talking. Let's have a meal together and say goodnight to each other. What do you think?"

"Are you going to have her surgery?"

"I didn't say that..."

Poser's eyes trembled: "But, you said she was your patient in front of the reporter."

"It's just an excuse, it doesn't explain anything." Mo Mengchen stared at her, without any desire in his eyes, as if the woman in front of him who was constantly exuding charm was a dry human specimen, which was not attractive to him, "I just want Wondering, what do you know about Lorenta's illness?"

Finally had a chance to speak clearly.

Poser knew that the chance was rare, and this capricious man might only give her this one chance.

She must take good care of it.

"Lorenta is 10 years old, she is still very young, and her illness is not life-threatening. That is why you have been against her surgery, right?"

Poser asked tentatively.

Mo Mengchen couldn't deny it: "Yes, even I don't want patients to undergo surgery. As long as they are on the operating table, no matter how small the operation is, it is accompanied by risks."

"And if she insists on doing it, do I support her?" Poser asked.

Mo Mengchen said: "This is your decision, no one can interfere, but I also have the right to accept or refuse."

"why?"

"Because this operation is also risky for me. You should know that I have experienced several ACL tears. My lower limbs are very fragile. I don't know what kind of wear and tear will be brought to my body by standing for a long time." Meng Chen said, "I don't want to ruin my career because of an operation."

"The odds are slim, aren't they?"

Mo Mengchen said with a smile: "It's very small, but if I have problems with my lower limbs again, my career may be over. Ma'am, do you think I want to gamble my life for Lorenta?"

Convince me, give me a reason!
Give a reason why I have to operate on her.

Mo Mengchen looked deeply at Poser, waiting for her to speak.

"I have nothing else but a good eye, so I've made a lot of the right investments, and I'm sure you'll be fine," Poser said. There will be no relapse, I believe."

This is not enough.

"At this point in my life, I have nothing to worry about. My only concern is Lorenta. I hope she can smile, cry, be sad or angry like a normal person. She is no different from others, and I need to let her know that."

anything else?
Poser found no other changes on Mo Mengchen's face, knowing that these would not impress him, so he changed his words: "I heard about the Pistons."

"I also know that your goal is not just to be a player."

"You're an NBA player, you're a doctor, you might be a chef, you might be a singer."

At this point, Mo Mengchen's mood was finally touched.

How did she know?
"But I believe that what you value most is the NBA. You spend a lot of time on the basketball court, which is why you want to dominate the team."

Poser and Mo Mengchen looked at each other, and the seemingly weak and helpless mother instantly turned into a domineering strong woman: "I can help you. This is the reason why I invested in the Pistons. You also know very well that there is nothing wrong with this team. Business prospects, I chose to join only because of you."

"No matter how much trouble you want to cause in the team in the future, I will do my best to help you, as long as... you agree to perform surgery on Lorenta."

At the end, the overbearing woman's tone became soft again, because she didn't know what Mo Mengchen would do.

Women are made of water.

One drop of water cannot penetrate paper, but countless drops of water can penetrate solid rock.

It's so varied.

"Sir, please take it easy." The waiter served the steak.

Mo Mengchen took out the cutlery he had prepared, and while cutting the steak, he said, "I have to say, you know me better than my girlfriend."

"You are right, I have such great ambitions, and I do need your help."

"It's just that you don't have to."

Mo Mengchen said: "You underestimated the risk of surgery for me, because you are not a doctor."

"Two years ago. I had nothing, my life was hopeless, fate tormented me, God spurned me, and I even thought about committing suicide." Mo Mengchen said slowly, the movements of his hands did not slow down at all. An instinct formed, as if he could cut a steak neatly with his eyes closed.

Poser looked at him wordlessly.

Why did he refuse to operate on Lorenta?
This is her greatest confusion.

The secret is about to be revealed.

The answer is often very simple, Mo Mengchen has already told her.

"I used to be a high-profile basketball star, three ACL tears destroyed me, my family encouraged me, they decided to let me become a doctor, but God may think that torture for me is not enough, three ACL tears are not enough , He wants me to taste all the pain in the world."

Mo Mengchen talked about the car accident.

"I believe it's a curse. Why? I was recovering from my knees, my family encouraged me, and I was starting over..."

Mo Mengchen cut the last piece of steak.

He thought he could finish the story calmly, until now, a nightmare memory flashed through his mind, he cut hard, the blade that pierced the steak hit the plate, making a harsh scratching sound.

Poser didn't know how to respond, she knew about it, it was part of Mo Mengchen's resume.

She knew about the car accident.

"We had a car accident, my family was seriously injured, and what about me? I only had skin trauma, I was conscious, I was still moving, I was still able to... do some trivial emergency measures."

Mo Mengchen didn't know why he was so touched.

This belongs to Mo Mengchen's memory, not his.

But he always had nightmares, always dreamed of the car accident, always dreamed of his bloody relatives,

He wanted to speak out.

"Then, the ambulance came. I went with them to a nearby hospital. In the hospital, I watched them die one by one."

"Sorry, Mo, I'm sorry..."

Mo Mengchen recounted the matter in a flat tone, no matter whether he knew about it or not, he would still be greatly touched when he learned the details.

Poser's eyes were red, as if he was heartbroken by Mo Mengchen's experience.

It doesn't matter whether it's true love or the tears of a female crocodile.

"After burying them, I decided to become a doctor, and I want to be the best doctor in the world." Mo Mengchen said, "I used an extreme way to become famous in the hospital, and quickly got a doctor's license. For a while, I was crazy. Surgery, but the more this happened, the more my heart ached."

"I felt lost and helpless and I thought about death."

"One day, I took the rope and was about to hang myself..." He smiled when he said this.

Because I can’t repeat it truthfully here, he needs to design a fictitious plot: “Maybe I’m greedy for life and afraid of death. I saw a basketball where I was about to die, and it changed my decision. I decided to play basketball, so I resigned.” I worked hard and got drafted by the Pistons... the injury did not come to me, and everything is going in a good direction."

"It was basketball that saved me."

"I know that my lower body cannot go through trauma anymore, and I have always been very careful to protect it."

"That's why, I don't want to operate on Lorenta."

Mo Mengchen said: "The answer is actually very simple, I am worried about getting hurt, and that is the reason."

This is the reason.

"Sorry, Mo, I didn't know..." Poser had tears in his eyes.

Once things are hopeless, tears are a woman's last weapon.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Mo Mengchen was not someone who would soften his heart when he saw tears. Although he was shaken a few times, he was still not moved by Poser.

"I know I'm not qualified to ask you to do anything, and you shouldn't have experienced so much misfortune."

"There are other doctors who can operate on Lorenta, but... Mo, if the hospital you and your family went to had a doctor as good as you, then maybe, they might still be alive now."

Poser's words touched Mo Mengchen's heartstrings.

Tears filled her eyes, and Mo Mengchen believed that she was sincere.

"If I have the opportunity to invite the best doctor in the world to operate on Lorenta, I will definitely do my best, so, Mo, I beg you."

Mo Mengchen looked at the steak on the table, if he didn't eat it, it would be cold.

He looked up at Poser and said, "You convinced me, ma'am."
