97: Gangzi's Past

"I'm going! Nicknamed Guo Gang, you're not serious, are you!"

Qin Shou rushed forward and quickly helped the tottering Nicknamed Guo Gang.

"Doctor, quickly call a doctor!"

Qin Shou hastily told Xu Nanqin to call a doctor.

"Oh—! Okay—!"

Xu Nanqin also hadn't expected this sudden turn of events, so she quickly let go of Nuo Nuo and rushed out of the ward.

A few minutes later, with the help of the Little Nurse, Nicknamed Guo Gang finally woke up.

"Old... Qin...! Am I... dreaming?"

Nicknamed Guo Gang slowly opened his eyes and saw Qin Shou and the female nurse staring at him with concern.

"You're dreaming of a hammer, I'm telling you, are you really that dramatic? You fainted over this little money? You scared the hell out of me."

Qin Shou said grumpily.

"Old Qin, hit me, quickly, hit me!"

Nicknamed Guo Gang still couldn't believe any of this was real.

"I'm going! There are requests like that!"

Qin Shou was stunned by his words and immediately showed a wry smile.

The female nurse nearby heard their conversation and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Nicknamed Guo Gang and Qin Shou, thinking, 'These two perverts!'

The Little Nurse shook her head with a look of disdain, then left the ward without looking back.

"Slap—!"

"Ah—!"

Then, a crisp sound and a pig-like scream echoed through the hospital.

"Holy cow, Old Qin, you're something! How did you get so much? Didn't you say it was only 250,000 before? Could it be... could this extra money be what you extorted from that rich young master?" Nicknamed Guo Gang was now completely awake, with a deep red handprint still on his face. He was beaming, his eyebrows almost flying to the sky, and he lowered his voice, unable to resist asking curiously.

Qin Shou had previously mentioned to Nicknamed Guo Gang that the Municipal Government's bonus this time was 500,000, so Nicknamed Guo Gang naturally assumed that the extra money Qin Shou had was 'earned' from Ye Wuhuan.

Of course, if Nicknamed Guo Gang knew that Qin Shou had actually earned over two million this time, he would probably jump up on the spot, beat his chest, and curse the "dog-day" Qin Shou for being too greedy.

Qin Shou was naturally too lazy to explain to him, he just smiled mysteriously, nodded, and then made a "shush" gesture to him.

Nicknamed Guo Gang immediately understood, his face full of smiles, and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "Hehe, I understand, I understand! Of course, this kind of thing can't be talked about carelessly."

"Old Guo, now that you have money, what do you plan to do?"

Qin Shou said, taking a few gulps of the iced salted soda in his hand.

"Hehe, with this money, Meimei's bride price is finally complete!"

Nicknamed Guo Gang grinned, his face blooming with joy, as if he could already see the beautiful scene of him and Feng Meimei entering the wedding hall. He was completely immersed in his own happiness, not noticing the change in Qin Shou's expression.

"Pfft—!"

The mouthful of salted soda Qin Shou had just drunk instantly sprayed out, all over Nicknamed Guo Gang's face.

Caught off guard, Nicknamed Guo Gang was sprayed directly, his face and hair covered in saliva-laden salted soda.

"I'm telling you, you dog-day Old Qin, why did you spray me?" Nicknamed Guo Gang wiped his face, glaring at Qin Shou with displeasure.

"I think you're just asking to be sprayed, you son of a bitch!"

Qin Shou put down the salted soda, pointed at Nicknamed Guo Gang, looking like he was disappointed in him.

"Five hundred thousand, that's a full five hundred thousand! You have money, and you're still a simp? Why don't you use this money as capital, invest with me, and do business? Why do you have to use it as a bride price? And for Feng Meimei, who has dumped you countless times? Has your brain been kicked by a donkey, you son of a bitch?"

Qin Shou's voice was agitated, his spit almost spraying on Nicknamed Guo Gang's face, a look of utter disappointment.

You know, Qin Shou had simped himself to death in his previous life, and as someone who had been through it, he really couldn't understand why Nicknamed Guo Gang was so stubborn, insisting on hanging himself on a crooked tree.

"You don't know anything! Out of all the women in the world, she's the best!" Unexpectedly, after Qin Shou said a few words to Nicknamed Guo Gang, he actually got angry.

"I say, Nicknamed Guo Gang, can't you have a little self-confidence? You're not bad. Before, you didn't have money, but now you do, so you're still afraid you can't find a woman? Look at your looks, you also..."

Qin Shou originally wanted to say, "You don't look bad either," but the words caught in his throat when he glimpsed Nicknamed Guo Gang's greasy, plump, fleshy face, and he couldn't continue.

"You son of a bitch, tell me! What do I look like?"

Nicknamed Guo Gang saw Qin Shou suddenly stumble, and he pressed him with a depressed look, knowing in his heart that his appearance wasn't great.

"How about we don't talk about looks, let's talk about your physique... your physique..."

"Cough cough—"

Qin Shou coughed twice more, still unable to come up with anything good to say, and couldn't continue.

"You're hitting on the wrong topic, you son of a bitch! Is this supposed to be comforting me?" Nicknamed Guo Gang immediately deflated like a punctured ball, his head drooping, his face full of displeasure.

"Nicknamed Guo Gang, for a man, the most important thing is strength, the key is to be tough and firm. External appearances aren't important; once you're together, you'll know that what women care about is what's on the inside."

Qin Shou thought for a long time, couldn't find any advantages, and had no choice but to change the subject.

"You're talking without feeling the pain, you son of a bitch. If you're not good-looking and don't have money, who the hell is going to give you a chance to show whether you're tough enough or firm enough!"

Nicknamed Guo Gang said grumpily.

"This—!"

Qin Shou was somewhat speechless, being retorted by Nicknamed Guo Gang, thinking that Nicknamed Guo Gang didn't seem to be wrong.

"Forget it, forget it, Nicknamed Guo Gang, let's not talk about these useless things. Let's talk about something real, tell me honestly, why have you been so infatuated with her all these years? I've seen you, kid, every time you see a beautiful woman, your eyes almost pop out in that lecherous way, you don't seem like someone who would hang himself on one tree!"

Unexpectedly, after Qin Shou finished speaking, Nicknamed Guo Gang suddenly seemed to change into a different person, falling silent. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if lost in some memory, and his voice also became low: "Old Qin, do you still remember in college, when my dad suddenly fell seriously ill, and I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, borrowing money everywhere, even going so far as to sell my blood?"

"I remember!"

Qin Shou nodded, his playful expression also fading from his face.

"Speaking of which, I lent you all the money I saved from my summer odd jobs back then."

"That's why we've been good brothers for so many years." Nicknamed Guo Gang's eyes flickered as he fell into memories, continuing, "But Old Qin, do you know who else in the class lent me money besides you?"

"It couldn't be Feng Meimei!"

Qin Shou was stunned by the words, looking incredulous, and couldn't help but blurt it out. But then a thought flashed in his mind, remembering that Nicknamed Guo Gang seemed to have indeed started pursuing Feng Meimei madly after this incident.

Moreover, Qin Shou knew Feng Meimei's personality; although this girl was quite wild when out, her nature was straightforward, and she was actually a kind and righteous person.

That day at KTV, everyone was flattering Zhang Wei, and only Feng Meimei kept speaking up for him; Qin Shou could tell that this girl was not bad at heart.
