Chapter 32: His Little Fortune!

Director Liu looked on in shock as Guan Xi paid the nurse. "No, no... I can't use your money. I know you must've worked hard for that. That's your money, you can't just hand it away like that..."

Behind her, Bai Xiaomi also handed her card over. "Mother Liu, Little Grape is more important. I don't have as much money as Xixi, but I'm willing to give what I have for Little Grape."

Director Liu did not know what to say, her eyes watering with emotion. "You are both good people."

The nurse took the card and processed the payment.

Almost immediately after the 100,000 yuan advance was settled, they were quoted a follow-up fee that's ranging from 400,000 to 500,000 yuan. The people from the orphanage didn't know what to do.

A few of the children who were friends with Little Grape were crying, their eyes red and swollen. One of the kids asked Guan Xi timidly, "Sister Xixi, will Little Grape be okay? We don't want anything to happen to Little Grape. We still want to play together!"

Guan Xi patted their heads and said gently, "Little Grape will be fine, I promise."

After comforting the children, Guan Xi headed to the ICU wing.

Through the huge glass window, she saw Little Grape's small figure lying on the bed.

Little Grape was only six years old. She liked to wear two pigtails and pink floral dresses. Guan Xi could still practically hear her sweet voice calling her 'Sister Xixi'.

It was hard to see that adorable child lying on a hospital bed, being kept alive by needles and tubes.

"Xixi, we still need to pay that follow-up fee. Where will we find that kind of money?" Bai Xiaomi asked tearfully as she looked on at Little Grape as well.

Guan Xi pursed her lips determinedly and said, "There's always a way."

....

"What way, Xixi?"

Bai Xiaomi and Guan Xi were now outside of the hospital. Guan Xi took her phone out and when Bai Xiaomi saw the number she was dialing, her eyes widened.

She stammered, "Why... why are you calling Producer Xu?"

Guan Xi's lips curled. "To make money."

While the two of them were talking, Producer Xu picked up the phone.

"Producer Xu, this is Guan Xi," Guan Xi said in a sweet voice. "You once offered to introduce me to President Wang. Does that still stand?"

"Yes! Yes, of course! Do you want to go?" Producer Xu asked excitedly.

"Yes."

"I'm glad you've finally come to your senses. See? Wouldn't it have been better if you had said yes from the get go?" Producer Xu said with a lecherous smile. "You won't regret meeting with CEO Wang. He has a lot of resources and he's generous with it. He'll make your career 10,000 times better. I guarantee that you'll be moe popular than Xia Mei. You're lucky it's being handed to you in a silver platter."

Guan Xi rolled her eyes at his monologue. He was lucky she desperately needed the money.

She replied, "Producer Xu, I want 200,000 yuan in exchange for this."

"200... what?"

Producer Xu's eyes bugged out. "Guan Xi, you're asking for too much."

"Too much? It's only 200,000 yuan."

Guan Xi made sure that her voice sounded extra seductive when she said, "For that price, I can do whatever CEO Wang wants."

"Alright!"

Although Producer Xu still found 200,000 yuan a lot of money, Guan Xi's words made him agree to her terms. "200,000 then."

"Producer Xu, I need the 200,000 yuan now. Can you pay me now?" Guan Xi asked, her voice becoming even more coquettish.
