Young Master Yan pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Bai Shao, I'm afraid I really can't help you with this."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Bai Shao's eyes, then she asked anxiously, "Why? I know the treatment fees he charges are very high, but I will pay, I will pay whatever it takes!"
Yan Shao shook his head. "Bai Shao, the Dr. Zhao you mentioned is not in the country right now. Nobody knows where he is. Besides, you're not the only one looking for him. That's all I can tell you."
Some things are confidential, and Young Master Yan can't tell Bai Shao about them.
As for this Dr. Zhao, he was indeed highly skilled in medicine. However, he probably became greedy and gradually went astray.
If it weren't for Dr. Zhao's misdeeds being exposed, Young Master Yan would never have suspected that Yi Wei's past injuries might all have been fake.
These are inside stories that even Zhu Qianying couldn't tell Yan Shao, let alone Bai Shao.
Sometimes, the more you know about something, the less likely it is to be a good thing.
Bai Shao was stunned for a moment!
Because she had finally managed to find out that this Dr. Zhao was highly accomplished in this field, she had even figured out where to raise the money for her father's expensive treatment.
But now they're telling her that the person can't be found.
It was like a bucket of cold water being poured over my head. All hope seemed to be extinguished in an instant!
Yan Shao glanced at it and also felt a little reluctant.
"Send me Uncle Dong's medical records, and I'll ask around for you. As for the treatment costs, you can mention it to Ying'er if needed."
Judging from Bai Shao's words, Yan Shao could roughly guess her next plan. Bai Shao was sometimes very similar to Zhu Qianying, so she was easy to understand.
Of course, if Bai Shao insists on making that choice, no one can stop her, but Yan Shao hopes that Zhu Qianying can know the truth, otherwise, Zhu Qianying might feel guilty to death later.
After all, the main family is a den of wolves!
Bai Shao nodded, indicating that she understood.
When Zhu Qianying came downstairs, the two had just finished their conversation, and both of them still had solemn expressions on their faces.
Zhu Qianying's heart skipped a beat; she had a gut feeling that something was about to happen.
Of course, she didn't think there was anything between Yan Shao and Bai Shao. She just wondered if the Zong family had discovered something.
"Good morning, Xiao Shao!"
Zhu Qianying walked over, and Yan Shao naturally took her wrist, so she sat down next to him.
Yan Shao leaned over as if no one else was around and kissed her on the cheek.
Bai Shao suppressed all her emotions and teased her with a smile, "It's getting late, it's almost lunchtime!"
Zhu Qianying blushed slightly and glared at Yan Shao as if by reflex.
Yan Shao touched her face and kissed her lips. "Be good, go for a walk with Bai Shao. I still have some things to take care of."
Zhu Qianying slept all morning. Although she still felt unwell, she was not a delicate person and would not stay at home and not go anywhere because of such a small matter.
Bai Shao understood that Yan Shao was creating an opportunity for her to quickly tell her friend about her father's situation.
"Yes, this is my first time here. Shadow, please show me around."
Zhu Qianying then stood up, and Yan Shao gently pinched her waist again, unsurprisingly earning her another fierce glare.
Young Master Yan smiled and coaxed gently, "Good boy!"
Zhu Qianying ignored him and walked out, taking Bai Shao's hand in hers.
The Yan family's garden is very large. Even though Zhu Qianying has been back for several days and spent a short time there during her honeymoon, she still hasn't explored the entire garden.
At first, I wasn't in the mood; later, I didn't have the courage; and now, I don't have the time.
"There's a lake over there, and a huge lavender field over there too. Which way do you want to go?"
Zhu Qianying is a very democratic master; it doesn't matter which side she chooses.
Since that night when she mustered the courage to step into her and Yan Shao's bedroom, those old memories from every corner of the Yan family no longer had any effect on her.
Bai Shao, having been through similar experiences, naturally understood why her friend was getting up so late, and also knew that her friend wasn't feeling well.
"Where is there a place to sit down, enjoy the breeze, and see the view?"
Zhu Qianying pointed to the other side of the lake, "Over there, there's a little wooden cabin. You can enjoy the lake view, feel the breeze, and even have some tea. It's quite comfortable."
Zhu Qianying wasn't stupid; of course she knew her friend had something to say to her. However, she only thought it was about Zong Zhe, but it turned out to be about Bai Xiangdong.
"What? You're saying Uncle Dong is sick?"
The two sat cross-legged on the wooden platform under the eaves. In front of them were freshly brewed tea and snacks. Just as Zhu Qianying picked up her cup, she heard her friend's words and her hand trembled, spilling tea all over the floor.
"Yes, that's why I came back to China. At first, my dad lied to me and said it was benign, but I forced him to get it checked again. The results came out a couple of days ago and it's malignant."
Bai Shao looked dejected; in front of her friend, she made no attempt to hide her sadness. She no longer needed to force a smile like she did in front of Yan Shao.
Zhu Qianying put down her cup and gently pulled her friend into her arms.
"It's alright. Medicine is so advanced these days, it can definitely be cured. I'll talk to Young Master Yan when I get back and ask him to find a reputable expert to treat Uncle Dong. He'll be fine!"
For Zhu Qianying, Uncle Dong was initially just her friend's adoptive father. But after her mother met him, she learned that he was actually her mother's old neighbor who had taken good care of her since childhood. Even now, Uncle Dong still accompanies her mother shopping every day. In Zhu Qianying's eyes, Uncle Dong is almost like an uncle.
"Yes, that's exactly what I asked Young Master Yan to do."
Zhu Qianying patted her shoulder, "It's okay, don't worry. In these kinds of situations, the patient's will to live is more important than anything else. Look at Uncle Dong, he's all smiles now, he'll be fine."
Bai Shao nodded. At this point, there was no other way but to believe it.
However, on the other hand, probably because of Bai Xiaolu's presence, Bai Shao did feel that her father was much more cheerful than before.
“You’ve just returned to China. If you’re short on cash, you can take it from me first. I still have a large sum of dividends that I haven’t touched. You can take it anytime you need it.”
The large dividend Zhu Qianying mentioned refers to the dividend from the shares of Mingxuan Group that she bought with 100 million yuan. Although those shares have now all been transferred to Zizai's name, she has been keeping the bank card for the dividend.
There was indeed a large sum of money inside. She hadn't used it before because she felt it was unnecessary, but now she was using it because it was necessary.
Compared to human lives, money is not important.
Besides, even if she asked Yan Shao for the money instead of Zizai's, she wouldn't care.
