Song Jingchuan led Cheng Xiaokui to the end of the corridor, then stopped and turned back.
"How did you know your brother had a brain tumor?" His gaze was fixed on Cheng Xiao Kui's pupils.
It was as if they wanted to dig out the deepest, most hidden secrets in her heart.
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "Would you believe me if I told you? Actually, no matter what I say, you wouldn't believe me, right?"
After all, in your heart I'm a wicked woman who'd perform surgery on her perfectly healthy mother-in-law!
Song Jingchuan said, "How do you know I don't believe you if you don't tell me?"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "I dreamed about it, do you believe me?"
She couldn't think of any other reason. Believe it or not, she had done her best to come up with a reason for Song Jingchuan.
After all, she's not very good at lying.
Song Jingchuan's lips twitched slightly; this reason was absolutely brilliant...
He asked, "Dreaming? Don't tell me you were dreaming when you said Lin Qiuru had pancreatic cancer!"
Cheng Xiaokui nodded and said, "Yes, how did you know? It really was a dream. I dreamt that my mother-in-law had pancreatic cancer and died a terrible death."
She will die in three months. I have checked relevant medical books and found that pancreatic cancer can progress from late stage to death in just one month.
So she is probably in the early stage of pancreatic cancer now. If she can have surgery to remove her pancreas at this time, her survival rate is almost 100%.
But if it progresses to the middle or late stages, her survival rate is almost zero.
Song Jingchuan said, "Dreaming? According to your logic, we don't need to study medicine anymore, we can just study how to dream."
"I can tell what disease a patient has just by dreaming. We don't even need diagnostic equipment."
Cheng Xiao Kui spread her hands, shrugged, and said, "I told you you wouldn't believe me, but you insisted on asking."
Song Jingchuan said, "Is the key point the science you're talking about?"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "How many years has science been around? Metaphysics has been around for thousands of years. The history of science is just a term that has been invented in the last 200 years."
Compared to thousands of years of metaphysics, which is more scientific? And what about my brother's brain tumor? That just proves my dreams are quite accurate; I'm being guided by my ancestors!
Song Jingchuan's lips pressed into a straight line. In terms of accuracy, he really couldn't refute what Cheng Xiaokui said.
He said, "So, you still insist that I perform the surgery on your mother-in-law?"
Cheng Xiao Kui had a cold smile on her lips as she said, "I know that in all of your eyes, I am a bad woman who wants to kill my mother-in-law!"
You probably think that because I was unhappy about the divorce from Si Muyang, I wanted to take revenge on my mother-in-law.
But actually, I wanted to repay my mother-in-law; I wanted to save her life.
From childhood to adulthood, she's the only person who has ever truly cared for me. She's also the only one who has ever shed a tear for me…
I can't bear to see her go. I owe her so much. I want to repay everything I owe the Si family..."
Song Jingchuan stared at the girl in front of him in astonishment. Cheng Xiaokui spoke with such seriousness, and her deep gaze made him momentarily feel that every word she said was true...
He paused briefly, then asked, "And after repaying the Si family's debt of gratitude?"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "It's time for me to leave! Si Muyang and I are already divorced. If it weren't for wanting to repay my mother-in-law, I wouldn't have stayed. I'm trying to earn money for medical expenses and find a school for my two children."
Song Jingchuan was surprised when Cheng Xiaokui said that she should leave after repaying the Si family's kindness.
He asked, "Are you really leaving? Where are you going? Back to your parents' home?"
Cheng Xiao Kui shook her head and said, "My mother doesn't like me. In her eyes, I'm the murderer who killed my sister."
When I was three years old, I insisted on playing by the river and ended up falling in. My sister drowned while trying to save me.
My father was heartbroken because of my sister's situation, and he died in a workplace accident.
My mother thinks I am a scourge to this family. When my younger brother was sick, she could have easily written an application to keep me in the capital instead of sending me to the countryside.
But she didn't tell me, and she didn't write an application either..."
Song Jingchuan looked at Cheng Xiaokui in surprise; he hadn't expected her to have such an experience.
Back then, people racked their brains and tried every means to keep their children with them and prevent them from going to the countryside.
Everyone knows how tough life is in the countryside, especially for children who grow up in the city; they simply can't endure the hardships of rural life.
Hearing that makes my heart ache...
Cheng Xiao Kui's expression was so indifferent, as if she were talking about someone else's business.
Song Jingchuan said, "But if you don't go back to your parents' home, where else can you go?"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Once my brother's illness is cured and my sister is able to run her own business, I will save enough money for them to buy a courtyard house."
If all goes well, my mother-in-law's illness should be cured by then, and the money she saved from her business should be enough for her to buy a courtyard house.
Then... I can leave and live my own life!
She smiled at Song Jingchuan, having paid off all the debts owed by the original owner of the body. From then on, the original owner had absolutely no connection with her. She could finally live the life she wanted!
Whether she stirs up trouble in this era or rides the waves of change depends entirely on her mood!
Song Jingchuan said, "Leave? Where are you going?"
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Making money is so easy for me! I can just buy myself a storefront in a prime location, run my business, and easily become a rich woman!"
Song Jingchuan asked, "Are you all alone?"
He meant to ask Cheng Xiao Kui if she was all alone? Did she not bring any relatives with her?
Cheng Xiao Kui thought about it seriously for a moment and said, "I'm so young, it seems like I'm mistreating myself."
When I have money, I'll lie on the biggest and softest sofa in the world, eat my fill, sleep, and then eat again. I'll live like that for a year.
Then, find some handsome guys to flirt with, and win one over to your side! Hahaha!
Song Jingchuan's expression nearly exploded; what kind of earth-shattering, tear-jerking words were these?
How about flirting with some handsome guys and keeping one by your side?
What kind of well-behaved child would say such a thing?
Was he crazy just now? Cheng Xiao Kui almost made him cry!
He pressed his throbbing temple with his finger and said, "What kind of thoughts are these? They're not pure at all!"
Cheng Xiao Kui retorted, "Did I ask you to praise my purity? I earn my own living, I earn money with my own skills, I flirt with handsome guys with my own skills, I don't steal or rob, what law doesn't allow that?"
In all your eyes, I'm nothing more than a wicked woman!
With my abilities, as long as I don't harm society, I've already made a contribution to society.
She rolled her eyes to the sky. If she really wanted to be malicious, neither the male nor female protagonist of this book would survive!
Life and death are just a matter of her whim!
Song Jingchuan's brow furrowed, unable to find a single word to refute Cheng Xiaokui...
