“I know, that’s why I came to find you.”
“Jingchen, even the Si family isn’t omnipotent. I can try to arrange a meeting for you, but I can’t guarantee the outcome!” Young Master Si said to Mo Jingchen with a serious expression.
"That's enough. I'm willing to pay any price if we can get Dr. John to perform the surgery."
"Jingchen...you're really in deep this time." Major General Si downed his glass of red wine in one gulp, a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Thank you very much. If the Si family ever needs my help after this, please feel free to ask," Mo Jingchen sincerely thanked Young Master Si.
"Between brothers, there's no need for thanks. I certainly won't hold back when the time comes." Although he was happy that Mo Jingchen had found true love, he was also worried that Mo Jingchen's sacrifices would lead to him getting hurt in the future!
But he still couldn't say those words. After all, their relationship was still very strong, and with this unexpected turn of events, he couldn't afford to upset his brother.
After hanging up the phone, Si Shao put down his wine glass and went to try to contact John himself.
However, just as Si Shao said, the Si family is not omnipotent. For example, right now, he simply cannot get through to Dr. John on the phone.
"Investigate this Dr. John. See who he's close to," Si Shao continued to his subordinate beside him. "Also, remember to be quick. Get the information to me as fast as possible."
"Yes, I understand."
Mo Jingchen and Si Shao sat in their respective studies, watching the hands of the clock tick away, their hearts pounding with tension.
Two hours later, there was a knock on the door: "Come in."
"Young Master Si, we've found it!"
"Give me the documents." Young Master Si quickly reached out to ask for the documents, and at the same time, in order to understand the situation quickly, he asked his subordinates to give a concise report.
"Before attending Harvard University, Dr. John had studied abroad in F City. Because Dr. John's family was of modest means, he had to live with some wealthy people as an au pair."
"Continue," Si Shao said, flipping through the documents while instructing his subordinates to continue their report.
“We’ve found out that the family John was on his au pair program with is now the Pei family in F City. If needed, we could try contacting Dr. John through the Pei family,” the subordinate suggested to Young Master Si.
Just as the report finished, Si Shao had finished reviewing the information about Dr. John.
"I understand, you may leave."
Si Shao got up, took the documents, went downstairs, went out, and drove straight to where Mo Jingchen lived in Xinghai Bay.
"Young Master Si, you've arrived," Uncle Wang said respectfully as he opened the door.
"Uncle Wang, you're too kind. Where's Jingchen?" Si Shao asked, having changed his shoes.
"Young Master is in the study."
"Then I'll go upstairs to find him."
A knock came at the door. Mo Jingchen thought it was Uncle Wang and said, "Come in."
"Jingchen, take a look at this." After coming in, Si Shao handed Mo Jingchen the information about John.
"This John worked as an au pair in China for a while, and he lived with the Pei family! You can try contacting him through the Pei family!"
Mo Jingchen quickly flipped through the documents, and after finishing, he looked up at him and said, "Thank you."
“I remember you and Pei Shaoqing from the Pei family were classmates. Why don’t you give him a call and ask him?”
Mo Jingchen nodded, got up and stood in front of the French windows, then dialed Pei Shaoqing's number.
"Hey, Shaoqing. I hope I'm not disturbing your rest by calling you so late?" Mo Jingchen said.
"No, Jingchen. I'm glad you called me."
"How have you been lately? When are you coming to City A so we can have a proper get-together?"
"My trip to City A is scheduled for the next few days. Once I get there, I'm going to give you a good beating," Pei Shaoqing said on the other end of the phone, sounding as if he were about to meet an old friend. You could tell from his tone that he was very happy.
"However, Shaoqing, there is something I would like to ask you."
"What's wrong, Jingchen?"
"About John."
"Teacher John? Why bring him up all of a sudden?" Pei Shaoqing was a little confused as to why Mo Jingchen would suddenly mention John.
"It's like this, my mother-in-law needs surgery, but because her condition is complicated and the surgery is difficult, I would like to ask Dr. John to perform the operation. I wonder if you could introduce me to him, Shaoqing?" Mo Jingchen explained the purpose of his call.
“Hey, don’t worry, I’ll call him right now and ask if he has time,” Pei Shaoqing told Mo Jingchen to relax, and then he called John himself.
Ten minutes later, Pei Shaoqing called again: "Jingchen, I asked John for you. He's coming to China next week to attend an academic conference, and he'll be there to perform surgery on your mother-in-law."
"Shaoqing, thank you so much! You've really helped me a lot!" Mo Jingchen said, unable to hide his excitement.
“It’s alright. John has been living in my house for several years now, and as my English teacher, we’ve had a pretty good relationship over the years.”
"Thank you anyway. I'll throw you a welcome party when you come to City A."
After hanging up the phone, Mo Jingchen looked at Si Shao: "I'm going to tell An'an the good news. You... do as you please."
After saying that, Mo Jingchen left quickly, leaving Si Shao alone in the study, looking bewildered!
"You, Mo Jingchen, you really are a womanizer!" Si Shao said with a smile, then shook his head and left alone. He believed that the young couple must not want to be disturbed by outsiders at this moment.
"An'an, are you asleep?" Mo Jingchen returned to the bedroom and saw that the light was still on, so he asked in a low voice.
"No."
Following the sound, Mo Jingchen found An Yiruo, who was curled up in the corner of the sofa, looking pitiful and helpless!
"An'an, I have good news for you. I've found a world-class doctor to perform the surgery on Mom. The success rate of Mom's surgery will be greatly improved." Mo Jingchen sat down, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly, giving her warmth and strength.
"So...you were busy with this in the study just now?" An Yiruo lifted her head from Mo Jingchen's embrace and stared at him as she spoke.
“Yes, I was worried that you would be sad if I couldn’t get you, so I’ll tell you after it’s all done,” Mo Jingchen said gently to An Yiruo, looking down at her.
"Chen, how are you so amazing? I can't imagine what I would do without you." After saying this, An Yiruo's tears fell again uncontrollably.
"Don't cry. It won't look good if you keep crying. Mom doesn't want to see you so heartbroken because of her illness," Mo Jingchen said gently, wiping away her tears.
