Chapter 195 Asking Her for Help
If this matter is to be investigated, then it is the responsibility of the hospital director.
The hospital director, who has already undergone two surgeries, would likely lose her life if she were to bear this injustice.
I cannot accept this.
This made me determined to clear the headmistress's name and not let her suffer this injustice.
But given the current situation, there may not be much I can do.
I refused to accept reality and asked Hu Mei again, "Isn't there any other way?"
Hu Mei shook her head again with absolute certainty.
If that's the case, then there's no other way.
Hu Mei tried to comfort me, but then I thought of someone else.
Although it will be difficult, I think she can do it.
"I know someone else who might be able to help me."
Even Hu Mei immediately realized who that person was and asked me for confirmation, "You're not talking about Song Yafei, are you?"
I didn't answer, but my expression was very firm, which meant I had already answered.
“I know about Song Yafei’s power. Even if she can’t clear the dean’s name immediately, she can at least buy time.”
"It can buy us more time so that we have enough time to go find Aunt Ke and her daughter."
But Hu Mei clearly couldn't accept this approach, and she tried to persuade me.
"Yes, perhaps Song Yafei could do it, but you should know very well that if she makes a decision about something this big, she might..."
I understand what she meant.
But what can be done?
I couldn't bear to watch the headmistress's mother get into trouble.
In order to persuade Hu Mei, and also to deceive myself, I even lied to myself.
"Don't worry, she and I are already divorced. With Mrs. Song around, even if Song Yafei wanted to do something, it would be impossible."
Hu Mei's face turned pale, as if she wanted to say something more.
But once I've made up my mind, I've never thought about backing down.
I flagged down a taxi on the roadside, and just as I was about to get in, Hu Mei pulled me back from behind.
“Actually, have you ever thought that you can rely on me too? Zhang Tian, there are some things you haven't sorted out yet, so I didn't say anything, but…”
"Sister Mei."
I stopped her, preventing her from saying what she was about to say.
I could vaguely guess what she wanted to say, but I had just come out of a marriage and didn't want to deal with relationship matters for the time being.
"Don't worry, everything will be alright."
Then I pushed her hand away from mine and got into the car under her disappointed gaze.
After getting on the bus, I dialed Song Yafei's number. "It's me."
"I know, is there something you need?"
Her voice had a thick nasal tone, less sharp than usual.
I hesitated.
I had already divorced her and finally gotten rid of her, but now she's come looking for me again. I feel helpless and ashamed of myself.
But I was backed into a corner, with no other choice. After much hesitation, I finally spoke, "Have you heard about the foundation? Can we talk about it?"
Song Yafei didn't answer whether she knew or not, but simply said, "If you want to talk, come to the villa. I'll be waiting for you there."
She stopped talking after she finished speaking, and I heard her blowing her nose on the phone.
Is this a cold?
I was very anxious and hesitant the whole way.
I was absolutely certain that I had to save the hospital director, but I didn't want to rekindle my relationship with Song Yafei. I was torn.
When the car arrived at the villa, I was still hesitating.
"Sir, sir, we've arrived!" the driver reminded me.
I got out of the car and saw the villa was brightly lit, but I hesitated to go in.
I don't know how much time passed, my body was so cold that it was almost numb, before I finally entered the password.
But when I saw the bedroom light was on, I hesitated again.
I knew perfectly well that if I went up to her, all my previous efforts might be in vain.
However, compared to her, the hospital director is more important.
So I mustered my courage and was about to open the door when Aunt Lin came out and saw me.
"Sir, you're back!"
Aunt Lin quickly opened the door and welcomed me in. I was instantly surrounded by a warm breeze, which warmed my body, but my heart felt ice-cold.
Aunt Lin pulled me aside and asked me a couple of questions. Seeing that I had no intention of lingering there, she told me.
"Madam is upstairs. She's had a cold these past few days and has been staying home, either in the study or the bedroom. Go up and check on her."
It turned out I had caught a cold.
I nodded and went upstairs.
I didn't see her in the study, so she must be in the bedroom.
Standing at the bedroom door, I took a deep breath and pushed it open without hesitation.
Just as Aunt Lin said, Song Yafei was sitting on the sofa with a book in her arms and a blanket draped over her body.
But her gaze was directed at a different spot, a place I used to sit in.
From there, you can see the entrance downstairs; that's where I was hesitating and lingering just now.
In other words, Song Yafei saw through my hesitation just now.
Hearing the noise, Song Yafei turned around, her face looking sickly. When she saw me, she pointed to the sofa next to her, gesturing for me to sit down.
"Auntie prepared some ginger tea for you. Drink some later to warm yourself up."
Her words made me even more certain that she had seen through my hesitation earlier.
Since that's the case, I didn't hesitate any longer and went straight to the point, "Have you heard about the foundation's matter?"
She nodded. "Assistant Luo already told me this morning."
So she knew about it much earlier than I did.
"Then I won't waste any more time. I want you to help me buy some time so that I can have more time to investigate the matter thoroughly."
Song Yafei looked at me quietly, took out a tissue, and wiped the snot from the tip of her nose.
When she looked at me again, her expression was very serious.
"Do you know how much money is involved in this case? You may not have a concept of it, but delaying will not do any good for financial companies."
"The financial company will not agree. They will definitely investigate thoroughly and then push the whole thing as the employee's personal behavior, and will never involve the company."
I understand what she means, but once the investigation begins, the headmistress will immediately be constrained.
Moreover, judging from Song Yafei's words, this matter seems to be much more serious than I imagined.
This made me a little anxious again. "Is there really no way even you can do it?"
Seeing my anxiety, Song Yafei sighed, opened the cabinet next to her, took out a document, and handed it to me.
"Here are some materials that Assistant Luo found out. They contain specific information and whereabouts of Aunt Ke and her daughter."
I didn't expect her to be so fast!
I rushed to answer it, but Song Yafei dodged it.
As expected, if you want her to do something, you have to pay an equal price.
