Xinyu looked at Huo Jian Sheng for help, and he nodded at her, signaling her to agree.
Li Man also chimed in, "It's fine, Grandma will buy it for you, just accept it."
Reluctantly, Xinyu said, "Okay."
In fact, she didn't really need more clothes. She had so many that her closet was almost overflowing.
So Xinyu wasn't like other children who would be happy to hear about buying clothes.
Li Man initially wanted to accompany Xinyu, but she was worried about leaving her dad alone at the hospital. She said to Zhang Yan, "Mom, you can take her. I'll go back and take care of Dad."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take Duoduo with me."
Li Man looked at Huo Jian Sheng and asked, "Huo Jian Sheng, do you want to accompany Duoduo?"
Huo Jian Sheng quickly shook his head and said, "No, I won't go."
With that, he turned to Xinyu and said, "I won't accompany you either. Be good and listen to Grandma, okay?"
Xinyu pouted and reluctantly said, "Okay."
Although Zhang Yan didn't understand why Duoduo listened to Huo Jian Sheng so much, she didn't think too much of it and happily took Duoduo to buy clothes.
Zhang Yan's car drove away.
Only then did Li Man turn to Huo Jian Sheng and said, "Why don't you go back to the hotel and rest for a while?"
"No need, I didn't come here to stay at the hotel. I'll accompany you back to the hospital," Huo Jian Sheng said.
Li Man looked at Huo Jian Sheng gratefully and said, "Okay."
The two walked back to the hospital side by side.
"Um, thank you for today. How much did you spend on the things you bought? I'll transfer the money to you," Li Man couldn't forget the things Huo Jian Sheng bought.
Seeing Li Man being so distant, Huo Jian Sheng felt angry and questioned, "As your friend, visiting your parents, can't I bring them some gifts? Why do you have to keep track of the money like this? Or do you not consider me a friend at all?"
Li Man quickly said, "No, you misunderstood. How could I not consider you a friend? I just... I just can't let you spend money on my behalf."
Because Huo Jian Sheng told her parents that she was the one who asked him to buy the gifts, Li Man thought that she should be the one to pay for them. How could she let Huo Jian Sheng spend money to show filial piety to her parents?
"Why not?"
"Because you said I asked you to buy them, so I should be the one to pay," Li Man insisted.
Hearing this, Huo Jian Sheng was at a loss for words. If he had known, he would have said that he bought the gifts himself. He just thought that if Li Man was the one buying the gifts, her parents would be even happier. After all, he was a stranger, and it would be awkward for them to accept expensive gifts from him.
If it was said that Li Man bought them, her parents would not only be happy but also accept them without any pressure.
Seeing Li Man's determination, Huo Jian Sheng could only say, "Actually, it wasn't much money, just a few thousand yuan."
"A few thousand?" Li Man asked.
Afraid that Li Man wouldn't believe it if he said too little, Huo Jian Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Eight thousand five hundred."
"Okay, thank you, Huo Jian Sheng. I'll transfer it to you now."
"Li Man quickly took out her phone and transferred 8,500 yuan to Huo Jian Sheng.
"I've transferred it. Check your account," Li Man urged, afraid that Huo Jian Sheng wouldn't accept the money.
Huo Jian Sheng was speechless for a moment but reluctantly took out his phone to receive the payment.
Luckily, he had thrown away the receipt.
Otherwise, the amount of over 200,000 yuan would have scared her to death because he knew she was currently broke.
Seeing that Huo Jian Sheng had received the money, Li Man breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you!" she said."
