Chapter 257: Song Jingcheng is a love cheater? A scumbag?
Seeing Uncle Xie lying motionless on the ground, Xie Qian yelled fiercely, "Alright! I won't argue with you anymore! And you don't have to act anymore!"
"Get up quickly!"
But the people on the ground remained motionless.
Realizing that something was wrong, Xie Qian quickly threw back the quilt, got out of bed, and reached out to pull Uncle Xie.
Xie Qian finally panicked when she found Uncle Xie lying on the ground like mud and couldn't be pulled up at all.
"dad!"
Her mother and sister have left her, and this is the only relative she has left!
"doctor!"
*
Uncle Xie was rushed to the emergency room.
After the hospital team's full rescue efforts, he was finally brought back from the brink of death.
The doctor told Xie Qian: "Your father is having a cerebral infarction. Is this his first attack?"
Xie Qian shook her head blankly, "I don't know."
She has been busy with her career in recent years, and the father and daughter only talk on the phone once a week. Every time they call, Uncle Xie always reports good news and never bad news.
Xie Qian really didn’t know whether Uncle Xie had a cerebral infarction or not.
When the doctor saw Xie Qian's reaction, he guessed that the young girl might not be aware of her family's health conditions.
It has become a social norm that empty-nest elderly people lack care from their younger generations.
The doctor then asked, "Is there anyone else at home? Where is your mother?"
Xie Qian shook her head and murmured absentmindedly, "My father is all I have."
The doctor sighed, "Ms. Xie is successful in her career now. If you have time, you should spend more time with your family. Do you understand?"
The doctor's next words were like a bolt from the blue, which made Xie Qian's limbs go limp. "Your father has liver cancer, and the cancer cells have spread very badly..."
"How could he get liver cancer?" Xie Qian's head was buzzing and she could hardly stand.
She heard herself asking the doctor, "What causes liver cancer?"
"It's more complicated. For example, it could be side effects from medications or long-term alcoholism..." At this point, the doctor pulled out a small medicine bottle from his pocket and said, "This is the bottle that fell out of your father's pocket."
"In my opinion, this should be a tranquilizer. Tranquilizers made from this type of element are very harmful to the internal organs. It is generally not recommended for long-term use in clinical practice."
"How long has your father been taking this drug?"
Xie Qian was speechless again.
She didn't even know that her father was taking tranquilizers.
Seeing that Xie Qian didn't know anything, the doctor gave her a few more instructions and went back to the office.
Xie Qian came to Uncle Xie's ward.
He was still unconscious, his mind was confused, and he uttered intermittent and unclear syllables.
Xie Qian moved closer and heard Uncle Xie calling, "Yin Yin..."
That's her mother's name!
Xie Qian covered her mouth and almost burst into tears on the spot.
She stayed in the ward for a while before she walked out quietly and called Aunt Lan.
Over at the sanatorium, Aunt Lan had just helped Chu Zhi to bed. She and Aunt Zhang couldn't leave at night, so they sat in the small living room outside and dozed off.
Aunt Lan was a little surprised when she received Xie Qian's call.
"Sissi? You're still awake so late?"
"Auntie Lan, I have something to ask you." Xie Qian leaned against the wall in the corridor and asked Auntie Lan in a muffled voice, "Does my father have the habit of taking tranquilizers?"
Aunt Lan was silent for a while, then she told Xie Qian honestly: "Your father has to take two tranquilizers every night to barely sleep for a few hours."
"You always say that your father has forgotten the suffering of your family, but in fact, he has never forgotten it for a single day. You have never seen him running barefoot to the riverside in the middle of the night to burn paper for your mother and your sister."
"After your mother passed away, your father's pain was no less than yours. You should also be considerate of your father and stop arguing with him in the future..."
Xie Qian was already in tears.
The crying sound came into Aunt Lan's ears through the receiver, startling her so much that she immediately sat up from the sofa.
Aunt Lan quickly walked to the balcony outside, and was concerned about Xie Xi: "What happened, Xixi? Did something happen to your father?"
"Auntie Lan, my dad suddenly had a cerebral infarction and fainted tonight. He was just brought back from the brink of death by the doctor. The doctor also told me that my dad has liver cancer and is in the advanced stage..."
"The doctor found tranquilizers in my father's pocket and speculated that he developed liver cancer due to long-term use of the drugs."
"Auntie Lan, I didn't know my dad was in so much pain."
"I thought he had long forgotten what happened to my sister, and had long forgotten what my mother told him before she died..."
"Auntie Lan, I'm going to be without a father soon."
Aunt Lan's heart broke when she heard this.
"Good boy."
"Birth, aging, sickness and death are inevitable. You are still young and life must go on. You must cheer up and spend some time with your father during these few days off..."
Thinking of something, Auntie Lan changed the subject and asked Xie Qian, "Shouldn't you go back to Country H? Why are you still in Qing City?"
Xie Qian hesitated for a while and then made an excuse to hang up the phone.
Aunt Lan felt strange, but it was too late to investigate further.
Upon learning that Uncle Xie had liver cancer and a cerebral infarction, Aunt Lan was worried and went to Captain Zhou to ask for leave. "Captain Zhou, I want to ask for leave. One of my relatives just had a cerebral infarction and is still unconscious."
"I want to see it."
Captain Zhou nodded, "Wait a moment, I'll ask for instructions."
Captain Zhou came back soon and not only agreed to Auntie Lan's request for leave, but also asked, "Are you going to the hospital to see Uncle Xie?"
Aunt Lan was a little surprised, "You know Xie Zongbin?"
Captain Zhou said: "Of course, Uncle Xie is the father of Mr. Song's old friend. He helps Mr. Song run a restaurant. Whenever we brothers have a happy event, we will go to take care of Mr. Xie's business."
"Mr. Song hasn't rested yet. He also heard about Uncle Xie's cerebral infarction and fainted. He is planning to go to the hospital now."
"Auntie Lan, don't worry, I'll send a driver to take you there."
After saying that, Captain Zhou picked up the intercom and called the driver to come and prepare the car.
Aunt Lan stood in the corridor, but didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Song Jingcheng is a person...

When Aunt Lan rushed to the hospital, Xie Qian was sleeping next to Uncle Xie's bed. Aunt Lan did not disturb them. She turned and went to the office to find a doctor to find out about Uncle Xie's specific condition.
She is a witch doctor, but her ability to cure diseases is not as good as Su Jin's. She is better at using witchcraft to cure diseases.
However, the use of witchcraft to treat illnesses is seen as an unorthodox practice by outsiders, and people nowadays do not dare to try it easily.
Aunt Lan came to the outside of the office, but heard voices talking inside.
She pushed the door open a crack and saw Song Jingcheng and Shen He sitting on the wooden chairs next to the doctor with their backs to the door.
The doctor asked Song Jingcheng and his wife, "Are you two Mr. Xie's...relatives?"
The couple's attire and demeanor did not seem like those of Uncle Xie's family, so the doctor guessed that they were wealthy relatives of the Xie family.
Shaking his head, Song Jingcheng said frankly: "Uncle Xie is the father of a deceased classmate of mine. I had a good relationship with that classmate. When she was dying, I vowed to help her take care of her parents."
"Dr. Li."
Song Jingcheng handed his business card to Dr. Li and said, "I am the chairman of the Song Group. Please do your best to treat Uncle Xie's illness."
"If your hospital has any difficulties, you can call me directly. I will do my best to cooperate with Uncle Xie's treatment."
The doctor looked surprised.
"Song Group?" He picked up the hot business card and said hesitantly, "If I remember correctly, the Fu'an Private Hospital with the best reputation in Qing City is the hospital under your control."
"To be honest, Fu'an Hospital is of a much higher standard than our hospital. Why don't you transfer the patient to Fu'an?"
Song Jingcheng was silent for a while, then he said, "Uncle Xie is a kind man, he probably doesn't want to trouble me. Please keep my visit to you tonight a secret."
Doctor Li guessed some of the reasons and sighed, "Mr. Song is righteous."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Song, we will do our best to treat his illness..."
Aunt Lan left silently.
She walked in the long, narrow, and silent hospital corridor, her mood a mess.
Before her cousin Cheng Yin died, she told her that the eldest daughter Xie Jing was cheated by the young master of the Song family. After their relationship was discovered by Mrs. Song, she hired gangsters to defile Xie Jing, forcing Xie Jing to commit suicide by jumping off a building.
Can...
Aunt Lan's mind flashed back to Song Jingcheng's conversation with the doctor just now, and she couldn't help but question what her cousin said.
So many years have passed, and Song Jingcheng is still secretly helping the Xie family. Is he really the kind of scumbag who cheats on people's feelings?
