Power of Money

Chapter 34

In ICU, Jason saw Emily who had just been pushed out of the operating room. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

The oxygen pipe in her nose had been removed, and her head was tightly wrapped with gauze. Her skin looked even more bloodless after the operation, but her eyes had opened slightly.

Although his eyes were hollow, they were more lively than before.

"Mr. Qin, Ms. Xia's three blood clearing operations are very successful. Next, we only need to continue to complete such a perfect performance during the brain restoration surgery. I believe she will get a complete recovery!"

Doctor Martin, under the explanation of the interpreter, stated the effect of the operation to Jason.

"How long will the next operation take?" Jason asked softly, staring at Emily.

"We are already preparing for tonight's operation for Ms. Xia. I believe that the miracle will shine on her together with the sun tomorrow morning." Doctor Martin said excitedly.

"Thank you."

As the schedule was tight, after the explanation of the operation, Doctor Martin immediately left the ward and led the team to prepare for the operation tonight.

When Jason was alone in the intensive care room, he squatted beside the bed and gently held Emily's hand. He murmured, "Sleep well. When you wake up, you will find that what happened before is just a nightmare. Life will be as good as you imagine. You don't have to worry about being bullied by others anymore."

After that, Jason stood up and wanted to go out.

However, he suddenly felt that her hand, which he had just loosened, moved a little like an illusion.

Shock filled his mind in an instant.

Turning back silently, he saw Emily slowly close her slightly opened eyes. A teardrop dripped from the corner of her eyes and slid down her cheeks.

The Flourishing Age was a high- end apartment district near the center of Nandu. Jiangnan was the most developed province in China, and Nandu was the most developed capital city in Jiangnan. So it was not difficult to imagine that buying an upscale apartment here was the ultimate dream of a young man who was striving for success.

And this place was very close to St. De Hospital. Jason arrived by walking.

Standing at the door, he scanned at the advertisement wall with telephone numbers.

There was a large apartment with three bedrooms, and it cost seven thousand and five hundred per month.

After thinking for a while, Jason called.

Twenty minutes later, the landlord went to Jason with his bag.

The landlord was a fat woman in her forties, with a face looked mean and a very expensive bag in her hand. When she saw Jason, she frowned and asked, "Are you going to rent a house?"

The clothes and watches bought a few days ago, Jaon had asked Mary to take them home. He was still wearing his worn jeans and gray t-shirt. It seemed very inharmonious at the entrance of such a high- end community.

"Yes, it's me." Jason said.

"What are you doing to rent a house? Are you cheating?" The landlord glanced at Jason with a scrutinizing look.

"No, I am a student of Nandu University. I am going to graduate soon and work nearby. I just want to rent your house." Jason explained.

"Student? Show me your student card and working certificate. Where are you working? What's the name of the company?" The landlord asked again.

How could Jason carry a student card with him when he went out, and his things were still left in the hospital. He said, "Can't you rent a house without these certificates?"

"Of course. Who knows what you rent the house for. Now those who are doing pyramid selling schemes are pretending to be serious. Anyway, if you rent it, you should pay rent for one year first and then pay for a deposit of 30,000 yuan. If something happens, you can consider it as compensation for me."

Upon hearing this, Jason finally understood what the landlord meant.

She must thought Jason was doing something bad as he dressed ordinary to rent a luxury house.

Was she worried that the police will rush into the house and take him away, and then she will lose her face?

"Forget it, I don't rent." It didn't matter how much the rent was. The key was that the landlord questioned Jason's moral standing. If she found out that someone else would move in in stead of himself, she would definitely get upset.

Jason was just about to leave when he heard the mocking voice of the landlord coming from behind him. "Hey, you are pretending. You want to rent our community? Do you know who can live in such

a community? They are all senior white- collars. Normal workers should rent the basement, no need to come here."

Seeing Jason paused, the landlord became even more excited. "Hey, are you not convinced? If you have the ability, buy a house of your own. You are so poor but to have self-esteem like others. Let me tell you, if you have no money in this society, no one will look up to you. A waste of my time!"

After listening to the landlord's words, Jason was not angry. Instead, he felt enlightened.

He had been poor since he grew up.

He wanted to prepare a shelter for her family after Emily's recovery, so he came here to see the house and planned to rent one.

But now, he could buy one, but pretend to rent it for Xia's family and its grade could be higher than that of this shabby community.

After thinking through this point, Jason's sight could not help but fall on the group of the villas opposite a road of Flourishing Age.

The Jade Villa was one of the top villas in Nandu, which was next to Hundred Flowers Mountain Park.

The environment in the community was designed according to the Suzhou Garden. Even the design of the villa was completely Chinese- courtyard style, which was very outstanding.

Jason liked this place very much, especially the Chinese villas with courtyards. He had heard about it before, but at that time, he just thought about it and did not dare to have any thoughts about it even in his dreams.

He directly crossed the road and walked into the sales department. Jason couldn't help but be surprised by the luxurious decoration here.

The new Chinese decoration which had a ceiling more than five meters tall. Just in the sales department, a mini rockery garden was built, and the villa models were scattered in it. Jason looked at it for a long time and found that it was completely restored according to the real scene of the community.

"This is really generous."

Jason stood in the middle of the rockery garden and looked at the villa model sitting next to him. He couldn't help feeling emotional.

"Oh, what's wrong with you? You've been standing here for so long. Can't you see that you're blocking the way?"

Jason turned his head. A woman in sexy clothes was standing behind him, covering her nose with her hand. As if she smelled something fishy, she looked at him with a face full of disgust.

"Well, I'm sorry, you go first."

Jason turned sideways to get out of the way.

But the woman was not moved at all. She looked at Jason incredulously and said, "What should I do if you stand there? You are dirty all over. What should I do if you dirty my new clothes?"

Jason lowered his head and looked at himself seriously.

In addition to the old clothes, which were washed yesterday. Maybe they were stained with some dust on their way here, but it was not enough to make people retreat.

However, at this time, he had already taken a fancy to a villa that was located on the hillside and there was a sign of "For Sale" on the villa model. He took another step back and planned to go directly to the saleswoman

to ask for the price when the woman passed by.

"You don't understand human language, do you? Get out of my way. Even good dogs know how to perform in my way. What do you want to do here? Do you want to take advantage of me?" The woman looked at Jason unforgivingly, and the disgust in her eyes was undisguised.

"The road is just wide like this. I have let you go first. Are you going to let me retreat into the model before you go?" Jason frowned and said.

"Hey, you smelly migrant worker dare to argue with me. Honey! Come on, there are hooligans flirting me. Come on!"

The woman suddenly screamed as if she had been humiliated.

"You..."

Jason was speechless and was about to speak when he saw a young man with Mohican hair, a tight black shirt, cropped pants, and a pair of black Gommino. He walked quickly from the other side.

He pushed Jason away and walked to the woman. He held her waist and asked in a low voice, "Who bullied you?"

"Honey, it's him. He blocked my way and didn't let me go. He has been staring at me, and scared me!" The woman immediately hugged the young man, pointed at Jason and said coyly.
