Fan Qi was deeply fond of a powerful figure from a Hong Kong novel—a man whose turbulent early life had shaped him into someone irresistibly charismatic.
But admiration was one thing. Fan Q...
Zhang Yueqin brought out the food: "Brother, Qiqi said you can't get used to the food here, so I made it for you. Today I know how to get the bus here, and starting tomorrow when the kids are not around, I can bring food for you."
Fan Qi saw Feng Xueming passing by the door and nodded to him. Feng Xueming walked in and asked, "Why are you here?"
"My uncle is here for surgery." Fan Qi would not gossip about why he was here. Chen Zhiqian had already told her that he had just met Liu Xiangnian.
“I see!”
Although Zhang Yueqin was fat, Fan Qi looked very similar to her mother. Feng Xueming recognized her and heard Fan Qi's mother speaking Shanghainese to the old couple.
He greeted them in Shanghainese: "Hello, auntie and uncle!"
Hearing this handsome young man greet them in Shanghainese, the three of them stopped immediately. Zhang Yueqin nodded: "Hello!"
"I am a friend of Fan Qi and Zhiqian. My grandfather is hospitalized here." Feng Xueming smiled very kindly.
When Zhang Yueqin heard that her daughter and son-in-law's friend was hospitalized, she asked, "Is grandpa also in poor health?"
Feng Xueming sighed: "Cancer. I'm here for chemotherapy."
When she heard it was cancer, Zhang Yueqin immediately felt very guilty and said, "The old man has suffered."
"Yes! When you get older, you still have to suffer," said my aunt.
"I can't help it. Who told him to run into it?" Feng Xueming said with a slightly sad expression, "I won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving now."
After watching the young man leave, Zhang Yueqin said to Fan Qi, "He saw us and came to say hello. His grandfather was in the hospital, and you didn't even go and say hello?"
"No need. This guy is just a businessman. He says everywhere that he is friends with others. A Qian and I have a very ordinary relationship with him." Fan Qi said to her mother. How could she possibly go and say hello to Liu Xiangnian?
Zhang Yueqin thought so too. There are many people in Shanghai who say all they can say is good, but when they turn around, they don't even know you.
Feng Xueming went to Liu Xiangnian's room and sat down: "Grandpa, have you had dinner?"
Liu Xiangnian said unhappily, "I ate it."
"Fan Qi's uncle moved to this floor." Feng Xueming threw out the bait like fishing.
Feng Xueming knew that his grandfather was still thinking about Chen Zhiqian, and the more he couldn't get him, the more he wanted him.
"Really?" Liu Xiangnian looked at him, "Why are you telling me this?"
"It's nothing. I just happened to see them and greeted them in Shanghai dialect. Fan Qi's mother looks fat and has a good temper. I really don't know how she could give birth to a girl with such a hot temper like Fan Qi?" Feng Xueming said casually.
Knowing that his grandson was trying to hook him, Liu Xiangnian felt uncomfortable when he thought about what Boss Gao had just said. Before, he wanted Zhiqian to return to his clan and inherit the family business, but now he wanted Zhiqian to call him "Grandpa" because of their blood relationship, so that he could rest in peace when he died.
Feng Xueming stood up and said, "Grandpa, you should have a good rest. Prepare for chemotherapy tomorrow. I'm leaving first."
Feng Xueming went to wait for the elevator. When the elevator door opened, Chen Zhiqian came out carrying a few plastic bags. He smiled and greeted, "Are you here to see Fan Qi's uncle?"
Chen Zhiqian nodded: "Yes."
"I'm leaving first." Feng Xueming entered the elevator.
Chen Zhiqian looked back at the closed elevator door and saw Feng Xueming smiling. What evil idea was he having?
As soon as Chen Zhiqian entered his uncle's ward, he heard his uncle tell him that the room was too expensive and he really couldn't afford it.
"This way you won't disturb others, that's good." Chen Zhiqian put down the fruits and snacks he bought, "Now that you're here, just listen to me and Qiqi, and focus on your treatment. Tomorrow we'll have blood drawn, anesthesia assessment, and preoperative talk. I don't have time to come in the morning, so I'll ask a colleague from the company to come over. Mom can understand Mandarin."
"Or I can take a leave and come here tomorrow morning!" said Fan Qi.
"It's okay, let Sister Wu come over. I'll come over at three in the afternoon to talk to Doctor Wen."
