Chapter 122 Perhaps this is fate's arrangement
The air fell silent for a moment.
Qiao's mother slowly turned around.
Their eyes met, and Chen Qingshu's heart suddenly sank.
Qiao's mother stared at her, her eyes, red and swollen from days of crying, filled with disbelief.
“How could that be…” Mrs. Qiao shook her head, chuckled softly, then turned to look at Zhou Qingze, frowning as she questioned, “Why is it because of A-Shu?”
"Because I can't stand her." Zhou Qingze was still smiling. "I don't want to see Shen Qingshu have an easy time, so I won't let anyone who is close to Shen Qingshu, anyone she cares about, get away with it!"
"Just for this reason?" Mother Qiao laughed, tears streaming down her face. "Zhou Qingze! I'll kill you! Ah—"
Qiao's mother screamed and lunged at Zhou Qingze, but was pulled back by the police in time.
Zhou Qingze looked at Qiao's distraught mother and laughed loudly.
Qiao's mother finally couldn't take the shock and fainted again.
Mr. Qiao and the police rushed Mrs. Qiao to the hospital.
Before Zhou Qingze was taken to the detention room by the police officers, he stared at Shen Qingshu, who had a solemn expression, and smiled sinisterly. Then, with his handcuffed hands, he made a throat-slitting gesture at Shen Qingshu.
Seeing this, Wen Jingxi's fists hardened, and he wanted to rush forward, but Shen Qingshu pulled him back in time.
As Wen Jingxi left the police station, she said angrily, "That Zhou Qingze is a real scoundrel!"
Shen Qingshu did not respond.
Wen Jingxi stopped and turned around to find her with her head down, looking preoccupied.
He sighed, "Zhou Qingze clearly said those things on purpose, you must not take them seriously."
Shen Qingshu looked up at him and shook her head. "I was just thinking that this was a bit strange."
"How so?"
“I’ve had virtually no contact with Zhou Qingze, so his hatred for me came out of nowhere,” Shen Qingshu analyzed. “Moreover, Zhou Qingze is Zhou Yuchu’s stepbrother.”
Wen Jingxi suddenly realized, "You think this matter is related to Zhou Yuchu?"
"I'm not sure either, since we have no evidence right now."
“I think your guess is very likely!” Wen Jingxi stroked his chin and said, “But Zhou Qingze is, after all, the eldest son of the Zhou family. He is currently in charge of the entire Zhou family. He wouldn’t risk his future just to help Zhou Yuchu vent his anger, would he?”
“That’s why I’m not sure,” Shen Qingshu continued. “Even if Zhou Qingze and Zhou Yuchu weren’t siblings, there aren’t many brothers who would risk their future just to stand up for their sister.”
“You’re right…” Wen Jingxi frowned. “It is indeed strange. How could the head of the Zhou family become a murderer so hastily?”
Shen Qingshu nodded. "Therefore, there must be some hidden story that we don't know about."
"If that's the case, Zhou Yuchu is definitely not simple. Should we..."
The ringing of the cell phone interrupted Wen Jingxi's words.
These past few days, Shen Qingshu has made a point of switching her incoming call mode from vibrate to ring mode, afraid of missing any news about Qiao Xingjia.
It was Qin Yancheng calling!
Shen Qingshu immediately pressed the answer button, "Dr. Qin."
"We just got off the plane and are now going to the First Hospital."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingshu and Wen Jingxi immediately rushed to the First Hospital.
Zhou Family Hospital's reputation has plummeted due to Zhou Qingze's actions, and the situation at the hospital has been less than optimistic in recent days.
Qiao's mother woke up on the way to the hospital and leaned against Qiao's father, crying and calling for her daughter.
Mr. Qiao was heartbroken and could only try his best to comfort his wife.
Just as they were about to arrive at the hospital, Qiao's father received a call from Qin Yancheng.
Upon learning that Qiao Xingjia had been found and was about to arrive at the hospital, Qiao's father was overjoyed.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao went straight to the operating room.
Qin Yancheng and Fu Siyan were both waiting outside the operating room.
"Dr. Qin!"
Qiao's mother rushed to Qin Yancheng's side, pretending to kneel down, which terrified Qin Yancheng, who quickly pulled her back.
"Aunt Qiao, please don't do this, get up!"
Qiao's mother shook her head while crying, "You are our Xingxing's savior, it is only right that I kowtow to you."
"Please don't say that," Qin Yancheng sighed, looking at Qiao's mother, who had become much more haggard in just a few days. "Dr. Qiao still needs to have surgery. The specific situation can only be determined after the surgery."
Upon hearing this, Qiao's mother's heart clenched again. "Xingxing, is she badly injured?"
"The head injury combined with drowning means the situation is indeed not optimistic."
Upon hearing this, Qiao's mother's legs went weak, and Qiao's father caught her in time to prevent her from falling to the ground.
“Honey, you have to be strong. Xingxing will be alright. She knows we’re all waiting for her to come home. She won’t abandon us.”
Qiao's mother leaned against her husband's chest and wept uncontrollably.
Qin Yancheng asked Qiao's father to take Qiao's mother to sit down, while he himself stood motionless outside the emergency room door.
When Shen Qingshu and Wen Jingxi arrived, they saw that Qiao's mother and father were also there, and Shen Qingshu subconsciously stopped in her tracks.
Wen Jingxi asked her, "What's wrong?"
"I won't go there." Shen Qingshu pursed her lips. "Waiting here is just as good."
Wen Jingxi glanced at Fu Siyan outside the emergency room, "Because of your soon-to-be ex-husband?"
"No." Actually, if Wen Jingxi hadn't asked, Shen Qingshu wouldn't have noticed that Fu Siyan was also there.
She thought that now that the person had been found, Fu Siyan would no longer care.
It seems that Fu Siyan and Qin Yancheng's friendship is much deeper than she thought.
Fu Siyan paused slightly when he saw Shen Qingshu, then walked over to her.
Wen Jingxi rolled her eyes and muttered, "Couldn't he just pretend he didn't see us?"
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips; she wasn't in the mood to deal with Fu Siyan right now.
But Fu Siyan did help Qiao Xingjia so quickly snatch it back from Feng Yuncheng this time.
Fu Siyan stopped in front of Shen Qingshu, his dark eyes fixed on her. "Why aren't you going over there?"
"Waiting here is just as good," Shen Qingshu replied calmly.
"Is it because you saw me?"
Shen Qingshu remained silent.
Fu Siyan didn't ask any more questions, but simply smiled faintly, "Qiao Xingjia has a strong will to survive, so don't worry too much. I'm leaving."
After saying that, he walked past Shen Qingshu and left.
Shen Qingshu ignored Fu Siyan, but Fu Siyan's words reassured her.
It's good that Qiao Xingjia survived!
...
The surgery didn't end until 8 p.m.
The surgeon came out and announced that the operation was a success.
Upon hearing the news, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao embraced each other and wept with joy.
Qin Yancheng hugged the surgeon, extremely excited, and kept thanking him!
Shen Qingshu did not step forward.
She watched all this from afar, silently shedding tears.
When Qiao Xingjia was wheeled out, her head was wrapped in thick gauze and she was wearing an oxygen mask.
The once vibrant girl now lies quietly on that gurney.
Shen Qingshu wanted to go up and touch her and hug her, but she never took a step.
Wen Jingxi urged her, "Why don't you go up and take a look?"
Shen Qingshu shook her head, "Mother Qiao was greatly frightened this time, and I don't want to upset her further."
Wen Jingxi sighed, "You were indeed affected, but it's not your fault!"
Shen Qingshu remained silent.
That night, Qiao Xingjia was transferred to the intensive care unit.
The surgery was successful, but the surgeon said that Qiao Xingjia might need a few more days to wake up.
In the following days, Qiao's parents stayed at the hospital, and Shen Qingshu would call Qin Yancheng every day to inquire about Qiao Xingjia's condition.
Qin Yancheng even jumped ship directly from Zhou Family Hospital to the First Hospital.
The Zhou Family Hospital suffered a severe blow due to Zhou Qingze, and the situation became turbulent.
Shareholders are staging a power struggle.
Qin Yancheng is a renowned oncology expert in Beicheng. He initially joined Zhou Family Hospital for Qiao Xingjia's sake.
Now that Qiao Xingjia has become like this because of Zhou Qingze, it is impossible for Qiao Xingjia to return to work at Zhou Family Hospital, so he no longer has the obligation to stay at Zhou Family Hospital.
—
With the rainy season over, the humid air has become refreshing, and the temperature in the northern part of the city is gradually rising.
On a bright and sunny morning, Qiao Xingjia woke up.
At this point, a week had passed since Qiao Xingjia's surgery.
The timing of Qiao Xingjia's awakening was quite peculiar.
Mr. and Mrs. Qiao stayed by Qiao Xingjia's side for a week without leaving her side. Just last night, Mrs. Qiao fell ill with a fever due to exhaustion.
Fearing that she might bring germs to Qiao Xingjia, Qiao's mother went home to recuperate, accompanied by Qiao's father.
The task of guarding Qiao Xingjia fell to Qin Yancheng.
So, the first person Qiao Xingjia saw when she woke up was Qin Yancheng.
Then, something even more amazing happened.
Qiao Xingjia has amnesia!
She forgot everyone else, but she remembered Qin Yancheng the first time she saw him!
Upon hearing that Qiao Xingjia had woken up, Qiao's parents rushed to the hospital.
Wearing a mask, Qiao's mother only dared to stand at the door and watch her daughter from afar.
Mr. Qiao went in, stood by the bed and greeted his daughter, "Xingxing, Daddy's here."
Qiao Xingjia remained unmoved, her large, bright eyes fixed on Qin Yancheng.
The infatuated look in her eyes made Mr. Qiao a little jealous.
Mr. Qiao frowned and asked Qin Yancheng, "What's wrong with Xingxing?"
Qin Yancheng sighed softly, "Dr. Qiao has lost her memory."
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao were greatly shocked.
The surgeon examined Qiao Xingjia and found that, apart from her memory, her recovery in all aspects was quite good.
Regarding memory, the surgeon stated that there are many cases of amnesia caused by head injuries in clinical practice. Some are temporary and will gradually recover over time, but a small number are permanent and may never recover.
When Shen Qingshu arrived after receiving the news, Qiao's mother and father had just come out of the ward.
Upon seeing Shen Qingshu, Qiao's father subconsciously looked at Qiao's mother.
Qiao's mother frowned slightly.
Shen Qingshu greeted them, "Uncle, Auntie."
"Ah Shu." Qiao's mother looked at Shen Qing Shu, who was wearing a mask, revealing only her slightly red and tired eyes. She sighed, "Auntie has something to say to you."
Shen Qingshu's hands, hanging by her sides, tightened slightly. "Okay."
A small terrace outside the inpatient department.
Qiao's mother looked at Shen Qingshu with a solemn expression. "Qingshu, I'm sorry. I am a mother. For me, nothing is more important than my child's safety and health."
Shen Qingshu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she nodded, "Auntie, I understand."
"Don't blame your aunt." Qiao's mother stepped forward and held Shen Qingshu's hand. "Xingxing has amnesia. She doesn't remember anyone except Dr. Qin. I think this may be fate's arrangement."
The soothing sensation relieved the tightness in my throat.
She wanted to say 'yes,' but she couldn't make a sound.
Her eyes were burning hot, and she lowered her head in a somewhat embarrassed manner, tears falling silently.
"Auntie is sorry to you." Mrs. Qiao's voice choked with emotion. "You're a good child. If Xingxing remembers you in the future, then Auntie won't stop you from continuing to see each other. But if she never remembers you in her entire life..."
“I know.” Shen Qingshu nodded vigorously. “Auntie, I understand what you mean.”
With tears in her eyes, Qiao's mother gave Shen Qingshu a final hug before turning and leaving.
Shen Qingshu slowly squatted down, opened her arms and hugged herself, burying her face in her arms.
