Hearing this, Duanmu Lei burst into laughter, while Dong Tianyi beside him wore a smug grin, only Duanmu Qing looked worried.
“Hold on! You’re jumping to conclusions too soon!”
At that moment, Xu Fei, who’d been quietly waiting nearby, suddenly opened his eyes and spoke, he’d already taken the chance during the commotion when the aunt was wheeled out to check her pulse, and the situation was crystal clear to him.
“Dong Tianyi, you’re lying, Duanmu Qing’s mum isn’t cured at all!”
At those words, Dong Tianyi, already somewhat guilty, grew flustered, but then he realised Xu Fei had no proof and quickly straightened up.
“You say I’m lying? Then show me the evidence!”
“You want evidence? Just let Duanmu Qing’s mum stay one more day, and the truth will come out, dare to wait it out?”
Xu Fei now looked at Dong Tianyi with complete confidence, leaving him puzzled.
“Stop spouting nonsense, don’t you know this is the best hospital in the capital? Do you have any idea how much it costs to stay an extra day?”
Before Dong Tianyi could respond, Duanmu Lei stepped forward, though he hadn’t coordinated with Dong Tianyi, he simply didn’t want to shell out for another day’s hospital fees.
“Um… are you sure you can cure my mum?”
At that moment, Duanmu Qing quietly asked Xu Fei, she was likely the one here who least wanted to see him lose.
Because if Xu Fei lost, she’d have to date, or even marry, the repulsive Dong Tianyi.
“Of course, this mess is because of Dong Tianyi’s trickery, I just need time to find the proof!”
Xu Fei said with confidence, prompting Duanmu Qing to slam the table.
“Then we’ll listen to Dr. Ye, no rushing to conclusions, I’ll cover tomorrow’s hospital fees if need be, no need for certain people to pretend to care!”
“Alright, alright, I get it, you’re sore about losing, how about this, you don’t have to quit medicine, just bow your head and admit defeat, don’t you get that big hospital beds are in high demand and money can’t always buy them?”
Dong Tianyi was starting to panic, though he didn’t know what Xu Fei had spotted.
But he knew if he could just convince Duanmu Qing’s family to leave now, Xu Fei wouldn’t have a say anymore.
And it wasn’t even because he felt guilty about his own tampering.
“Director Dong, are we renewing bed 0527 for tomorrow? If so, please pay now!”
Just then, a nurse walked in, 0527 being the bed Duanmu Qing’s mother occupied.
“Of course we’re renewing, we’ll stay one more day!”
Before Dong Tianyi could speak, Duanmu Qing snatched the form from the nurse’s hand and signed it on the spot.
“What’s wrong? The money’s paid now, is Dr. Chen still afraid of Auntie staying an extra night?”
Xu Fei looked at Dong Tianyi with a playful smile.
Earlier, Dong Tianyi had been so eager to get the aunt discharged that he’d even dropped the stakes of quitting medicine, which made it obvious something was off.
