Chapter 891: You're Rich

Chapter 891: You're RichTang Hebe fell back on the couch and was left staring at the white walls of the ward with her mind blank. Seeing her condition, Raelle said goodbye and left her hospital ward.        

She had just stepped out of her ward when she ran into little Justin who came to see his mother with the nanny. As he noticed Raelle coming out of his mother's ward, he ran up to her with his short legs and looked up at her with his clear eyes.    

"Hi, little one!" Raelle waved at him from above.    

He also lifted his hand to wave back as he replied, "Hi, the big one!"    

The nanny found their greeting very weird but she didn't say anything. After all, she knew how difficult it was for little Justin to be so actively wanting to interact with anyone. As for how they interacted, it didn't really matter to her.    

"Are you here to see your mom?" asked Raelle and little Justin nodded his head. "But your mom needs some time alone to herself right now."    

Little Justin had a look of understanding and he nodded. He tugged at her shirt and said, "Ice cream cake!"    

"Did you solve the problem I gave you?"      

He proudly replied, "Yes!"    

Raelle understood and said, "Then follow me." She looked at the nanny and said, "You can tell Ms. Tang that her son is with me. I'll bring him back safely."    

The nanny had nothing to say since Tang Hebe had already said it was okay to let Justin follow this woman. So, she stepped aside.    

Raelle had asked Justin to solve a math problem and even said that she'd buy him whatever he wanted if he solved it. It took him three days but he solved it in the end. And he wanted to eat ice cream cake. Since she said it, she'd follow through as well.    

"You know I can't leave the hospital," started Raelle. "So, we'll have to eat the ice cream cake inside the hospital. Is that okay with you?"    

"Okay," he replied simply while his clear eyes continued to follow her around. He suddenly pouted and looked down.    

"What's wrong?"    

"No flowers," he said.    

It meant he forgot to bring flowers for her today. Raelle replied, "It's okay. We'll make do without the flowers."    

They were walking side by side when Raelle heard someone calling, "Hey, little sister!" Of course, she didn't stop and continued to walk until the person changed his words, "Raelle!"    

Raelle stopped and turned. She came face to face with Xiang Weimin, "Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Xiang!"    

Xiang Weimin actually was irked by how she chose to ignore it when he called her sister but turned to face him when he called her name. She was very clear about what relationship she was willing to keep with him. But it was his own sister, he'd just follow her lead. Since they were the ones at fault from the beginning and had no right to make demands.    

Since she was willing to offer an inch, they had to grab that inch and shouldn't covet the mile ahead.    

Raelle also looked at Xiang Wai who ran up to catch up with her brother, "Hi, Major!"    

Xiang Wai was taken aback to see Raelle. Her surprise and happiness were too obvious. Of course, Xiang Wai's purpose was to run into Raelle coincidentally but she didn't think she really would. It was a surprise. A pleasant one.    

"Oh, hi! We just came for Ge's checkup," said Xiang Wai. "What a coincidence to run into you!"    

Raelle didn't react to that but Xiang Weimin couldn't take it and chimed in, "We came to see you."    

Xiang Wai didn't think her brother would give them away just like that. Did it even make sense? She thought they were partners here!        

"Major, I'd prefer if you're as honest as Lieutenant is," said Raelle. "After all, you don't even know how to cover up your lie. We are standing on the VIP floor. He has to visit the 9th floor if he wants to get his routine checkup. So, you're coincidentally running into me, is a very far-fetched excuse."    

And that's why Xiang Weimin decided to speak the truth. He wasn't a fool and he knew neither was his little sister. Xiang Wai could be a little fool but Raelle wasn't. She took in everything and definitely wasn't someone who'd fall for such excuses.      

Xiang Wai scratched her head, "Ge, why didn't you remind me?"    

"You could think yourself," said Xiang Weimin. "How are you, Raelle?"    

"I don't like that question," said Raelle. "I'm tired of repeating, 'I'm fine'. Don't ask me that question again."    

"Okay," said Xiang Weimin.      

She took a moment before asking, "What about you? Is your recovery going well?"    

Xiang Weimin smiled at her and nodded, "It's alright. There is nothing to worry about at all."    

"That's good," said Raelle. "Opa will have fewer worries now."    

Xiang Weimin didn't care about why she asked about his health. He was just happy that she did. Indirectly, that meant she cared a little.      

"What are you doing out here?" asked Xiang Wai. She looked at the little kid who was hiding behind Raelle's leg, "And whose kid is this?"    

"Definitely not mine," was Raelle's answer.    

Xiang Wai pressed her lips together. "I know. I know it's not yours. I'm just asking."    

"He's just a little buddy of mine," said Raelle. "And we're going for some ice cream cake."    

"How about we join you?" suggested Xiang Wai.    

"How about a no?"      

Xiang Wai shook her head, "No, no, Raelle. You can't do that. Don't be stingy. You're rich. Buy us some desserts as well."    

"You have money as well," said Raelle.    

"Not as much as you." Xiang Wai decided to be a little shameless today. "So? Be generous and soothe my heart with some sweets."    

"I think the one capable of soothing your heart is at the military base right now."
