My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points

Chapter 1412 - 562: Trust Me Once, Cold and Indifferent Family Bonds (Part 2)

A person cannot stand without trust.

It’s difficult to maintain integrity, but once it’s upheld, a person can firmly establish themselves in society, as solid as a mountain.

At least at this moment, Zhou Can, in her eyes, and even in the minds of other colleagues in the department, is someone trustworthy.

"Tell me what I should do."

She decided to listen first.

"Simple, you continue to contact the shadow investor. I estimate the investor is more anxious than anyone now because only the last step remains to ruin my medical career. This is very beneficial for you. Fish see bait but not the hook, people see benefits but not harm. When the opponent is most desperate, you’ll find it relatively easy to get that fifty thousand."

Zhou Can seemed very calm as he analyzed for her what to do.

"I can clearly tell you, do not think that signing an agreement with them means you’ll get the money. I’ve guessed a few things about who the investor is; countless doctors have been harmed by them. Find a way to get the money at this crucial moment; it’s the safest approach. They need you to testify in court; when the time comes, you can sign a commitment to testify, but request the other party to pay in full first."

After hearing Zhou Can’s method, she asked worriedly, "What will you do then?"

"Don’t worry, I have my ways to resolve it."

Zhou Can smiled confidently.

"Alright, the basic method has been told to you. When the opponent contacts you, you can take the opportunity to ask for payment first; without payment, resolutely refuse to testify. This is rightfully yours. Once you get the money, you just need to fulfill the commitment, don’t worry about me."

Zhou Can never told her about his other card.

It’s not entirely a matter of distrust, but rather an adherence to the principle that secrecy achieves, while indiscretion leads to failure.

Before things are settled, never tell others.

Otherwise, good things will certainly fail when spoken of, while bad things will spread far.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you."

Seeing Zhou Can’s confidence, she no longer doubted and agreed.

"Even with the fifty thousand, it’s not enough to pay off the high-interest loan, right?"

Zhou Can didn’t know exactly how much she still owed.

"At least I can pay off part of it, and I’ll find a way to gather the rest."

She said.

Selling this house is probably still within her budget.

Wanting to sell the house quickly not only results in a poor price but also makes cashing it out uncertain.

"You borrowed a principal of seventy thousand in total, right?"

"Right!"

"How much have you repaid?"

"I’ve repaid about thirty thousand. But the interest on the high-interest loan is terrifying; I still owe over a hundred thousand."

"Do you have a loan contract?"

"Yes!"

"I’ll help you try to handle this when the time comes. Once you get the fifty thousand, don’t rush to repay; I’ll try to find someone to help you settle the principal and normal interest and strive to waive the rest."

Zhou Can originally didn’t want to wade into this mess.

But now, helping her means helping her fully; otherwise, even with the fifty thousand, it’ll still be a bottomless pit.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you."

Upon hearing Zhou Can’s way to help her waive some illegal interest, she couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

"Give me the loan contract, and I’ll find someone to study it tomorrow."

"Okay!"

She went into the inner room, rummaged, and took out a contract folder.

Zhou Can opened the folder and looked; these high-interest loan contracts are full of traps, infuriating to see.

"We’ve finished discussing this; let’s talk about your family matters. Originally, we’re just colleagues; I shouldn’t interfere in your personal affairs. But I fear helping you clear the debt this time, and you’ll fall into another one again next time. Then helping you this time would be meaningless."

Zhou Can spoke directly.

Pitiful people often have disgusting traits.

She had a bright future, but her own reasons led her to this point.

Some girls are particularly soft-hearted and have a natural fear and reverence towards their parents from a young age, daring not to defy their orders. Some parents are most skilled at playing the emotional card, controlling their children tightly.

As parents, they should treat all children equally.

No matter which child, they should be treated the same.

But many parents instinctively favor sons or the more pleasing son. In fact, such sons are often the most helpless.

Because they know that as long as they ask their parents, they can find a way to achieve their goals.

Having no money for marriage, asking parents for it.

No money to buy a house, still asking parents for it.

After marriage, having no money for a car, still asking parents for it.

...

Once this thinking forms, that son can never stand by himself. Why work hard when opening your mouth gets you everything?

Often, these sons are most selfish.

To be blunt, once the parents lose their usefulness, they are kicked out the door. They may have never even let their parents live in the new house. Even if this money was given by the parents, some came from squeezing from sisters, but the son thinks all is deserved, rightfully his.

"Sigh! This time I have seen through their true faces and should not make such stupid mistakes again..."

Speaking, she slowly revealed her family’s tale.

She has two children in her family; she’s the elder sister, a year older than her brother.

It can be seen that her parents wanted a boy, otherwise they wouldn’t have more children so closely spaced.

Normally, after a woman gives birth, it’s best to wait about three years before having another child, allowing her body to recover.

Her parents have always favored her brother, and the patriarchal mentality is very serious.

Good food is given to the brother first.

The same with buying clothes and shoes; she wore other families’ old clothes or cheap street goods. Her brother wore the best from the stores.

While studying, her grades have always been excellent.

Being able to be so young to become a doctoral student abroad indicates her talent is excellent and her diligence extreme. Otherwise, merely being a talented prodigy, most due to laziness, ultimately fades.

When she entered high school, her parents proposed not wanting her to attend college.

Anyway, girls will marry sooner or later.

Later, she was admitted to the best Imperial University domestically, pleading with her parents to let her finish college.

Her parents reluctantly provided some tuition, leaving her to find the rest. But her brother was mischievous and didn’t even get into a regular high school. Parents directly paid for the son to attend a private high school costing sixty thousand annually.

Later, he took the college entrance exam and didn’t even make it into the third tier, and parents paid for him to attend a diploma mill.

Jiang Wei knew she was inferior to her brother from a young age, so to read more, she learned to work-study, took jobs during summer and winter breaks, and worked hard to earn tuition herself.

Later, when she got the opportunity to study abroad, the money she earned was not enough. She knelt and begged her parents, finally obtaining thirteen thousand in support. Parents kept citing this sum as proof of how much they sacrificed.

Even after she graduated and repaid them the thirteen thousand yuan, her brother’s marriage and house purchase made parents still play the emotional card.

They said her annual salary is at least over twenty thousand, helping the brother borrow some money is perfectly fine.

This high-interest loan was orchestrated entirely by her brother and family in her name.

Faced with family affection, she chose to silently endure.

Until she discovered the loan was high-interest, accumulating terrifyingly, she realized she couldn’t repay it and panicked.

Calling her parents and brother about this issue, they replied in a dismissive manner.

They said her salary was high, so she should find a way herself.

When Jiang Wei felt most helpless, she sought help from her parents to borrow some money to repay a portion; otherwise, she would be threatened by the loan company’s people. Parents remained unmoved.

Her brother was even worse, cursing her for acting.

He accused her of saving money for a future man and called her selfish.

Just like this, she completely saw through her parents and brother, realizing family affection could be so ruthless. They don’t care about her life.

After listening, Zhou Can sighed.

It’s hard for him to interfere with someone else’s family matters; all he can do is let her awaken herself.
