Chapter 1653: Chapter 1653: Hoping for Harmony

When her emotions finally calmed down, Lu Yichen’s call came through.

“Qiaoqiao, can you leave now?”

“Yes, where are you now?”

“Not far from the main entrance of your hospital.”

“Okay, I’ll be right down.”

When she came down from the office and reached the hospital entrance, she happened to see the patient’s family she had met before, crying while discussing something with someone, pleading persistently.

Luo Qiao got closer and heard clearly that the person was the driver who brought the injured to the hospital last night, and today he came to collect the fare.

Yesterday, in a rush, this matter was overlooked. Today, upon hearing that the person had died, he found it unlucky and demanded double the fare, also asking for an extra length of red cloth to be placed on his car.

The family originally didn’t have much money, and they spent quite a lot at the hospital yesterday, so they truly couldn’t pay that much now, trying to negotiate a lower amount with the driver.

Luo Qiao sighed and stepped forward, “How much does she owe you for the fare?”

The driver looked at Luo Qiao, “What, are you going to pay for her?”

Luo Qiao nodded slightly,

and the driver said, “Originally, when they begged, we agreed on twenty yuan, but now that the person is gone, twenty yuan is definitely not enough, it’s too unlucky. It should at least be fifty yuan, and I need a length of red cloth for my new car.”

Luo Qiao didn’t argue, and took fifty-five yuan from her bag, “Is this enough? You can get the red cloth yourself.”

The driver nodded, “Don’t think I’m asking for too much. Their family doesn’t have money now, but once the compensation is paid, they’ll receive quite a bit.”

The family member standing by was furious, almost ready to hit him.

Luo Qiao, also slightly upset, said, “You, can’t you show some decency?”

The family member couldn’t hold it together and sat on the ground, crying again. The driver, realizing he made a mess, quickly took the money and fled.

Luo Qiao crouched down, patting the family member’s shoulder, “My condolences.”

The person looked up, “Thank you.”

Not very good at comforting people, Luo Qiao could only say, “Stand up, it’s cold on the ground.”

Just then, someone rushed over, “You’re here, the traffic police are over, and Mom asked me to get you.”

The person stood up, saying to Luo Qiao, “How can I contact you? In a few days I’ll pay you back, thank you for today.”

Luo Qiao waved her hand, “No need to pay me back, just a small gesture from me.”

After saying that, she turned and left. In fact, the family member didn’t recognize Luo Qiao, she just looked familiar.

Before entering the operating room, it was a time of urgency and no one had time to look at others. Later on, Luo Qiao had been wearing a mask, so when she turned to leave, the family member was still in a daze.

Lu Yichen had been standing by the car watching Luo Qiao. As she walked over, he finally said, “Are you okay? You look very tired.”

Luo Qiao got into the car, adjusted the seat back, and lay down before speaking, “The patient from today’s surgery passed away shortly after being sent to the ICU.”

She then closed her eyes, “I want to sleep for a while, wake me up when we get home.”

“Okay, sleep tight, I’ll drive carefully.” Then he pulled over a coat from the back seat and covered her with it.

At the He family in the Capital City, the family gathered today, not to discuss Bao Xiaorui, but to talk about Li Qianqian.

The eldest son of the He family said, “Did the Luo Family say when they would come to acknowledge relations? With the connection to the Luo Family in the future, shouldn’t we make good use of this in business?”
