Saying he was reliable was truly unreliable. Luo Yingbai said: “But I remember telling you last time not to go out on Sunday. So how did the junior get injured? Did she fall at home?”
Zou Ying: “…”
This kid was deliberately asking knowingly. She had just praised Luo Yingbai and said she believed in him. If she now explained that Chen Jingyu was injured in a car accident because she didn’t heed his warning, it would be too embarrassing. But she couldn’t stay silent either.
She smoothed her hair to hide her awkwardness and stammered: “This is my fault. I forgot to tell her… She was in a car accident outside.”
Luo Yingbai gave a meaningful “oh”.
Zou Ying felt uncertain and had to continue: “…The doctor said the leg injury will heal well and won’t leave any sequelae, but the child doesn’t know what’s wrong. These past few days, she’s been saying ghosts are haunting her. I’ve asked several people, but nothing works. I can only trouble you to come and take a look. Yingbai, please help me for the sake of our teacher-student relationship.”
Luo Yingbai laughed cheerfully: “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help. Consider it earning some extra money. Who am I earning from anyway?”
Zou Ying forced a laugh: “Oh… you want money?”
Luo Yingbai looked surprised: “You weren’t planning to pay?
Zou Ying quickly said: “No, no, I just thought mentioning money between teacher and student might seem a bit… distant. The teacher has always treated you well.”
Luo Yingbai readily responded: “It’s fine. For the sake of our teacher-student relationship, I’ll give you a 20% discount. It won’t exceed 300,000 in total.”
Zou Ying remained silent, recognizing Luo Yingbai was just teasing her. Once he solved her daughter’s problem, the payment would be her decision.
Luo Yingbai smiled slightly and followed her to the hospital.
There was only Chen Jingyu in the hospital room. She was a high school student. When Luo Yingbai entered, Chen Jingyu was lying on the bed, watching videos on her phone. However, her gaze was wandering and her complexion was haggard, indicating her mind was elsewhere.
Seeing a strange man like Luo Yingbai enter, Chen Jingyu was uncomfortable. Under Zou Ying’s urging, she greeted him, then lowered her head and picked at her fingers.
