Chapter 6
An Qian didn’t want to embarrass Gu Ning, so she took back the check .
But since Gu Ning had saved her life, she also felt uncomfortable doing nothing .
Thus, after An Qian had taken away the check, she pulled out a name card, handing it to Gu Ning, “If you don’t want to take the check, then let’s be friends . This is my name card . If you need anything in the future, please feel free to call me . As long as I can help, I’ll spare no effort . ”
Compared with money, network was more precious actually . Gu Ning didn’t reject this time .
Not because she was greedy, but An Qian just wanted to make friends with her . If she disagreed again, she would seem arrogant .
Moreover, she needed friends and a network . Gu Ning didn’t think too highly of herself . She believed a network would be helpful .
Of course, she wouldn’t make people do things for her . It was totally up to the others’ will .
“Great, then I’ll take it,” Gu Ning accepted the name card without further ado .
Seeing Gu Ning accept the card, An Qian immediately reached out her hand, “Nice to meet you . My name’s An Qian . ”
Gu Ning held her hand at once, “Nice to meet you too . I’m Gu Ning . ”
This was how they officially met .
“Sorry, I have to go now . My mom will be worried if she can’t find me . Please don’t tell the police that I’m involved . I don’t want to get into any trouble . ” Then before An Qian could reply, Gu Ning turned around and left .
“Hey,” An Qian wanted to stopped Gu Ning . She hadn’t had her phone number yet!
But Gu Ning walked too fast . When An Qian ran to the entrance of the stairs, Gu Ning was already gone .
But Yang Hao was still there, An Qian couldn’t leave, so she gave up .
Several minutes later, there was someone appeared on the open balcony . The head was a middle-aged man in a white coat . He was about 50 years old, and followed by two male doctors, who were around 30 years old .
“Qianqian, are you alright?” The middle-aged man rushed to An Qian once appeared . He asked with worries .
“Dad, I’m fine,” An Qian replied .
“Great . That’s great . ” An Qian’s father was finally relieved, seeing An Qian was safe .
He then glanced over the open balcony . There was only Yang Hao, who was still unconscious on the ground, and nobody else . An Qian’s father asked, “Where’s the girl who has saved your life?”
“Oh! She’s gone in case her mother would be worried . And she also doesn’t want the police to know her involvement . She doesn’t want to get into trouble . ” An Qian told her father what Gu Ning had said .
“Did you thank her?” An Qian’s father asked again .
“I gave her a check for ¥500,000, but she wouldn’t accept . Then I handed her my name card to make a friend . She accepted at last . ” An Qian answered .
An Qian’s father was surprised too . He now felt more respectful than grateful to Gu Ning .
Actually, even if Gu Ning had taken the money, they wouldn’t have blamed her for that, because she indeed had saved An Qian’s life .
The An family knew to be thankful . If Gu Ning asked for more money, they would give it to her without delay .
Gu Man had come back to the patient room earlier than Gu Ning . She didn’t find Gu Ning, and was concerned at once . She dropped a bag of apples, going out to search for her daughter, but the minute she left the patient room, Gu Ning was back .
Gu Man knew she was being overreacted, so she didn’t blame Gu Ning .
It was a peaceful night . The second morning, Gu Ning’s report was out . It said Gu Ning was healthy and was ready to leave the hospital .
Seeing the result, Gu Man was greatly relieved . She packed up immediately, preparing to go home .
“Gu Ning, I’m here to visit you . ” Right at that moment, a female voice sounded outside the door .
It was An Qian .
Gu Ning was a little, but not very surprised . Due to what had happened yesterday, it was normal that An Qian would visit her .
And it was easy for An Qian to find out which room she was in, because An Qian worked in the hospital .
When Gu Ning had gone yesterday, An Qian then realized Gu Ning, or her mother, must be a patient in this hospital .
Or, probably she and her mother were here to visit another patient .
If Gu Ning was a patient, she could ask the information desk .
If Gu Ning’s mother was a patient, then it would be impossible for An Qian to find them, because she had no idea what was the name of Gu Ning’s mother .
If they were merely visitors, An Qian thought she might better give up .
When An Qian had went back to work and passed by the information desk, she had asked her colleague whether there was a patient named Gu Ning .
To her surprise, she was right . So she went to visit her this morning .
“Miss An, welcome,” Gu Ning stood up and welcomed her .
“This must be your mother,” An Qian looked at Gu Man .
“Yes,” Gu Ning answered .
“Nice to meet you, Gu Ning’s mother . My name’s An Qian . I’m Gu Ning’s friend,” An Qian greeted Gu Man .
Actually, An Qian was confused about how to call Gu Ning’s mother .
Gu Man was around 40 years old, while she was 27 . Gu Man was merely 10 years her senior . If she called Gu Man “Aunt”, Gu Man was younger than her aunt .
But if she called Gu Man “Sister”, it was inappropriate neither, because she said she was Gu Ning’s friend .
Gu Ning was 18 years old, and 10 years her junior . If she let Gu Ning call her “Aunt”, Gu Ning wouldn’t accept, and she wouldn’t neither .
Because she wasn’t that old to be called aunt .
It was an embarrassing age! An Qian hoped she had been in her early twenties .
If she had been in her early twenties, she would have been young and free, and wouldn’t be worried about getting married soon .
But she didn’t have a boyfriend now, how could she get married! Besides, she wanted to enjoy her single life for a few years longer . She didn’t want to marry someone that soon .
Fine, she was going too far .
Although there was a 10-year age gap between her and Gu Ning, she didn’t feel Gu Ning was a teenage girl, but a mature woman like her instead .
Probably that was precocity .
“Nice to meet you, Miss An,” Gu Man greeted An Qian . Though she was puzzled why Gu Ning had a friend who was much older than her, Gu Man didn’t bother to think further .
She didn’t limit the freedom of Gu Ning to make friends . She only wanted Gu Ning to have her own principles .
“This is for Gu Ning . Hope she could recover soon . ” An Qian gave her gift to Gu Man .
“Thank you so much, Miss An! I don’t know how to thank you for that . ” Gu Man was slightly embarrassed, because she knew the gift wasn’t cheap .
But she took it at the end for it’s a gift from a friend . She didn’t want to reject the kindness .
“It’s nothing,” An Qian wore a smile .
