Chapter 243 Adding insult to injury
"Hello, Miss Fang!" The nurse said softly with a smile, "I would like to remind you that your prepayment has exceeded the limit. The head nurse asked me to come and tell you this." As she spoke, the nurse carefully placed the expense list in her hand on the coffee table beside the bed, as if it was an extremely important document.
Fang Minyi was distractedly making a series of bank service calls, but upon hearing the nurse's words, her mood plummeted. Her brow furrowed, her eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and helplessness.
For young people like Fang Minyi, the awareness of cash has long faded. Now, she has almost forgotten what cash looks like, let alone carrying cash with her.
Suddenly, Fang Minyi discovered that all her bank cards had been deactivated, a sudden change that instantly plunged her into despair. Without her bank cards, her life would become extremely difficult, and she didn't even know how to pay the most basic parking fees.
Fang Minyi never imagined she would face such a predicament. She had always lived a life of plenty, and the thought of being short of money and unable to pay bills was simply a fantasy for her. However, reality dealt her a heavy blow, making her feel the cruelty of life.
This feeling of falling from heaven to hell is like riding a roller coaster, catching you off guard. Fang Minyi's emotions are extremely complicated, with fear, helplessness, and despair intertwined. How can a single word "terrifying" describe it?
She felt as if she had lost control of her life. Everything became so strange and unpredictable. This terrible feeling was like an invisible hand tightly strangling her throat, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
This feeling of being abandoned by the whole world, helpless and alone, living in the most prosperous era but feeling like she is the only one left in the world, is difficult to describe in words.
"Okay, leave it there. I'll take care of it later." Fang Minyi's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of being heard. Her hands trembled slightly as she took the list from the nurse and carefully placed it on the counter.
The nurse didn't seem to notice anything unusual about Fang Minyi. She smiled, nodded, turned, and left the room.
The moment the door closed, Fang Minyi breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was still beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her throat.
Fang Minyi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
Fang Keqian's recent behavior told Fang Minyi that he had just said indifferently that he had blocked her card, and he was afraid that he would not be soft-hearted and take the initiative to open the permissions in the short term.
Although Fang Minyi didn't know why Fang Keqian suddenly turned against her to the point of leaving no room for negotiation, Fang Minyi had been living in a honeypot since she was a child and had never noticed that there was anything wrong with Fang Keqian's attitude towards her. He always responded to her requests from childhood to adulthood.
He was so heartless all of a sudden, not even bothering to explain himself. Fang Minyi was puzzled, but she knew she had to get through the current predicament before she could find a solution to the problem.
The hospital was asking for payment, and Fang Minyi knew that she could not delay any longer. She had to settle the hospital bill as soon as possible, otherwise she would become notorious in the top circle.
Fang Minyi turned on her phone, opened the address book, and began looking for someone she could ask for help in the contact list.
Fang Minyi's finger slid across the screen, finally landing on an avatar. It was a picture of a friend she often hung out with, and they were very close. After a moment's hesitation, Fang Minyi clicked on the avatar and entered the chat interface.
"Hi, dear, what are you busy with recently? I rarely see your updates." Fang Minyi quickly typed a line of words and sent it out.
Fang Minyi was more anxious than ever after receiving this message. She waited for the other party's reply and prayed silently in her heart that the other party could help her.
After a while, the other party finally replied: "It's not good. I'm under house arrest. How can I have any updates? The only updates are about my family floating up and down the stairs, like a ghost..."
Fang Minyi was excited when she saw the other party's reply. She quickly replied, "I have something I want to ask you for help with. Are you free now?"
The other party seemed to sense that something was wrong with Fang Minyi's tone and asked, "I'm trapped at home and can't do anything to help. I don't know what provoked my dad this time, but he's trapped me."
Fang Minyi bit her lip and decided not to hide it anymore. She told the other party her situation directly: "I'm in the hospital now and I need some money. Can you lend me some? There's a problem with my card. I'll go to the bank to unfreeze it after I pay the bill and pay you back."
After sending the message, Fang Minyi became increasingly nervous. She didn't know how the other party would respond. Fang Minyi, who had never worried about money before, was asking someone for money for the first time. Fang Minyi's self-esteem couldn't bear the thought of asking a friend for money.
What made Fang Minyi even more disappointed and sad was that the other party did not reply to her message immediately. As time passed, Fang Minyi's mood became heavier and heavier.
Just when Fang Minyi was about to give up, her phone suddenly vibrated. She quickly opened it and saw the reply from the other party: "Oh my god, what's going on lately? My dad has stopped taking all my pocket money. He doesn't even leave me a penny. Honey, your dad has also taken action against you. Have you done something so treasonous and against the will of heaven?"
This message from her friend made Fang Minyi's mood plummet instantly. She felt desperate and her face was burning with pain. She originally thought that her friend would lend her such a small amount of money without hesitation, but she didn't expect that the other party also said that his card was restricted.
Fang Minyi's heart grew heavier. After hurriedly replying a few words, she began frantically searching through her phone's address book for her closest friends. Her fingers swiped across the screen with anxiety, and finally, she found those names and sent the message without hesitation.
However, what awaited her was disappointment after disappointment. Every reply was the same, without exception, a rejection. These words were like sharp swords piercing Fang Minyi's heart, leaving her feeling incomparable pain and despair.
She couldn't help but wonder if these friends had agreed beforehand and were deliberately not offering her a helping hand. Otherwise, how could their reasons for rejection be so consistent, even a little strange?
Fang Minyi silently closed the chat interface, feeling extremely depressed. Her circle of friends were either the second or third generation of power or the second or third generation of wealth, but now she found that when she really needed help, none of these so-called friends could be relied upon.
