Chapter 83 What exactly is Fu Siyan after?!
Qiao Xingjia came off the operating table after 5 p.m. The surgery was a bit complicated. Director Jiang said it was a rare opportunity and asked her to follow along and learn from the entire procedure.
Fortunately, both the mother and child were safe in the end.
Qiao Xingjia had just sat down in her office when someone knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
The door opened, and Zhou Qingze walked in.
Upon seeing him, Qiao Xingjia was taken aback and immediately stood up. "Dean Zhou, what brings you here?"
Zhou Qingze walked in and closed the door.
Qiao Xingjia was a little reserved. "Dean Zhou, please have a seat."
Zhou Qingze looked at her, his brown eyes smiling. "Don't be shy. I came here to tell you that the hospital has arranged a free clinic in a rural area at the beginning of next month. Would you like to participate?"
"Going to rural areas for free medical consultations?" Qiao Xingjia asked, "Which place, and how long will it last?"
"Liangshan Village in Sichuan Province has a relatively harsh environment, so not many medical staff are willing to go there."
Zhou Qingze adjusted his glasses and said in a gentle and friendly tone, "I'm personally leading the team this time because the environment is harsh, so I hope that all the young medical staff in our hospital will actively participate."
Now that things have been said to this extent, it would be unreasonable for Qiao Xingjia to refuse again.
"Okay, I'll join too."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingze smiled and said, "Dr. Qiao is young and promising, which is an honor for our hospital."
Qiao Xingjia gave an awkward laugh, "Dean Zhou, you are the one who is young and promising."
As the hospital director and the current head of the Zhou family, personally leading a team to provide free medical services in rural areas sets a very impressive example.
Qiao Xingjia is just a corporate slave, and all she can say about Zhou Qingze's behavior is that he has the capital to put on airs!
After Zhou Qingze left, Qiao Xingjia received a call from Shen Qingshu.
Shen Qingshu asked her if she was on duty at night.
"No need, I was supposed to be on my day off today!" Qiao Xingjia sighed. "Unpaid overtime! I just received a task, how awful!"
"What mission?" Shen Qingshu asked.
"I'm going to a free clinic at the beginning of next month, in a remote mountain village!" Qiao Xingjia rubbed her sore neck. "By the way, don't you have to work overtime tonight? Shall we go out for dinner?"
Shen Qingshu said on the other end, "I called you to ask you to have dinner together."
…
Qiao Xingjia drove to the studio to pick up Shen Qingshu.
It's Friday, and there are quite a few families dining at the Cantonese restaurant.
Shen Qingshu booked a private room in advance.
After entering the private room and ordering the food, the waiter left the room and closed the door behind him.
Qiao Xingjia picked up her teacup, took a sip, and looked up at Shen Qingshu across from her. "Alright, you can talk now."
Shen Qingshu was somewhat surprised, "How did you know I had something to say to you?"
“You’ve been spacing out the whole way,” Qiao Xingjia glanced at her. “If I couldn’t tell you were troubled, then our ten years of being best friends would have been for nothing!”
Shen Qingshu picked up her teacup and took a sip. "I can't explain it in a few words. Take out your phone, open a webpage, and you'll see the news. It's trending, so you shouldn't need to look it up."
"Big news? Whose idol has had another scandal? Let me see..." Qiao Xingjia clicked on the webpage, and the first thing she saw was the big headline "Zhou Yu's first wedding is approaching!"
"The wedding is approaching?!" She suddenly looked up at Shen Qingshu. "Zhou Yuchu and Fu Siyan are getting married?!"
Shen Qingshu nodded lightly.
"No, Fu Siyan and you haven't finished the divorce proceedings yet! Is she just creating a publicity stunt or forcing you to get married?"
“The wedding is real.” Shen Qingshu said calmly. “Actually, I don’t care whether they have a wedding or not. What’s wrong now is that Fu Siyan doesn’t want to sign the divorce papers.”
"He's about to get married to Zhou Yuchu! Their child is already five years old! Even after all this, he still dares to keep you from getting a divorce?! This could be bigamy! He's not Fu Siyan, he's a lawyer, not God! He's breaking the law! Is Fu Siyan sick?! Is he sick?!"
Qiao Xingjia felt like she was about to explode with anger, and slammed her hand on the table, saying, "I'm going to report him!"
"Calm down, take a look at this first." Shen Qingshu put down her teacup and took out the agreement from her bag.
Upon seeing the agreement, Qiao Xingjia's arrogance subsided considerably. "A new divorce agreement he gave me?"
Shen Qingshu nodded.
Qiao Xingjia immediately took it and looked down to read it—
"Fu Siyan's gone mad? He's been possessed? He gave you... half of his assets?!"
"Wow, that building where your studio is located... the property rights alone must be worth hundreds of millions, right? He's going to give it to you? Wait, something's not right..."
Qiao Xingjia looked up at Shen Qingshu, her expression serious: "Is Zhou Yuchu sick? It's like those melodramatic plots in novels, like the white moonlight being seriously ill and needing a kidney transplant... Holy crap! Is Fu Siyan after your kidneys?"
Shen Qingshu: "..."
Although it was outrageous, Qiao Xingjia was half right.
He said Zhou Yuchu had brain cancer.
Qiao Xingjia's eyes widened. "Really? Is God really this charitable now? Evil is being punished, this is a good thing!"
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and remained silent, her brows constantly furrowed.
"No way, what's with your reaction?" Qiao Xingjia frowned. "Are you really worried that Fu Siyan wants your body parts? Don't worry, Zhou Yuchu has brain cancer. Even if Fu Siyan really wanted you to donate your brain to Zhou Yuchu, someone would have to be able to do it!"
Shen Qingshu glanced at her and said, "Xingxing, read fewer novels."
"Okay, okay, I just wanted to cheer you up since you were in a bad mood!"
Shen Qingshu sighed, "You should read the agreement first."
“Okay.” Qiao Xingjia nodded obediently and continued to look down at the agreement.
To be honest, Qiao Xingjia thought all of the previous conditions were quite good.
Who would complain about having too much money?
The more the better!
Especially for someone like Shen Qingshu, who was wronged by being raised by a scumbag and her third sister for five years, Qiao Xingjia felt that all this money and the house were rightfully hers!
Qiao Xingjia turned to the last page, her gaze suddenly paused, and she saw the additional condition.
She asked, "What is this additional condition? Why isn't it written in the agreement?"
“I haven’t asked yet, but I feel,” Shen Qingshu said gravely, “it’s not going to be anything good.”
Qiao Xingjia immediately looked like she had swallowed a fly.
"I was so excited by what I saw earlier, but I was so naive! What on earth is Fu Siyan trying to do? He's a legal tycoon worth hundreds of billions, how come he's doing such inhuman things!"
Shen Qingshu raised her hand and pressed her temples. "I don't know what he's after either."
Qiao Xingjia rested her chin on her hand and cursed, "What a scumbag!"
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat heavy.
The waiter knocked on the door, and then the door was pushed open from the outside.
The dishes were served one after another.
When the last dish was served, Qiao Xingjia picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of radish cake, and stuffed it into her mouth. She stammered, "Forget about that scumbag for now. You're pregnant, so eating is the most important thing!"
Shen Qingshu had little appetite and scooped up a bowl of soup, drinking it absentmindedly.
“By the way,” Qiao Xingjia poked at the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks, looked at Shen Qingshu, and asked, “Aren’t you curious about the three conditions he mentioned?”
"It's probably not a good thing." Shen Qingshu felt resistant, so she never asked the question from beginning to end.
But Qiao Xingjia felt that this couldn't go on forever.
Qiao Xingjia put down her chopsticks and said, "I just don't understand, why does Fu Siyan seem to be getting more and more crazy lately? He was the one who gave me the divorce papers, he was the one who wanted to hold a wedding with Zhou Yuchu, and now he's the one who's dragging things out and insisting that you agree to three conditions!"
"Why don't you ask what those three conditions are!" Qiao Xingjia said, getting angrier as she spoke. "I'd like to see what kind of conditions could make Fu Siyan so fixated on them and keep making things difficult for you!"
Shen Qingshu couldn't figure it out either.
Fu Siyan's recent behavior is indeed very unusual.
“Ah Shu, this marriage is definitely going to end in divorce. Fu Siyan has made it clear that he doesn’t want an amicable separation. Since that’s the case, then we need to find a way to get out of this marriage as soon as possible. I’m not advising you to compromise, I really mean it…”
Qiao Xingjia sighed again, "In Beicheng, Fu Siyan really has the power to control everything, and given your current situation, it's really not suitable for you to drag this out any longer. I think the most important thing is to get a divorce first!"
Qiao Xingjia makes a good point.
The most urgent thing is to get a divorce as soon as possible.
Shen Qingshu knew she couldn't afford to wait any longer; she had to leave Beicheng before her pregnancy became visible.
Encouraged by Qiao Xingjia, Shen Qingshu dialed Fu Siyan's number.
Fu Siyan answered very quickly.
A deep male voice came through the phone, "Have you thought it through?"
Suppressing her anger, Shen Qingshu said coldly, "Tell me your three conditions first."
On the other end, Fu Siyan chuckled softly, "I don't have the habit of negotiating with people over the phone. Let's meet."
