Chapter 24 He embraced his wife's waist and lowered his head to kiss her gently…
Upon arriving at the hospital, Shen Qingshu had just stepped into the elevator when she heard footsteps behind her.
Through the reflection in the elevator wall mirror, Shen Qingshu saw Fu Siyan.
She pursed her lips and ignored him.
Fu Siyan walked in, glanced at her indifferently, and then stood behind her.
Six or seven more people came in, and the elevator suddenly became crowded.
The middle-aged woman in front of her was rather plump, and she had to move back a few steps because of the crowd.
Her back was pressed against the man's strong, broad chest, almost touching him.
Fu Siyan was a full head taller than her, and she could vaguely smell the familiar, faint scent of mint on him.
Some images flashed through my mind.
Looking back over the past five years, she, like any other wife, would tie her husband's tie before he left for work.
Like any husband, he would put his arm around his wife's waist and gently kiss her before leaving...
Looking back now, it's incredibly ironic!
Shen Qingshu pulled herself out of her thoughts and forced herself to ignore the person behind her.
The elevator arrived at the floor where Jiang Yuelan was hospitalized. The double doors opened, and Shen Qingshu quickly walked out.
Fu Siyan didn't follow this time; he just stood there watching her back.
She didn't look back, and her receding figure was eventually shut out by the closing elevator doors.
…
Shen Qingshu told Aunt Qin to go home and rest, and come back tomorrow morning.
Not long after Aunt Qin went back, Qiao Xingjia arrived.
The two went to the small kitchen, closed the door, and talked about things they had been doing online in hushed tones.
"Zhou Yuchu posted a long article in support of you, but I don't think she wrote it herself. I guess she hired a professional to write it for her!"
Shen Qingshu opened Weibo and found that long post.
I skimmed through it.
I'm fairly satisfied.
"She deleted the post where she spoke up for you, she's obviously feeling guilty!" Qiao Xingjia sneered. "Her previous ambiguous statements, which seemed to be speaking up for you, actually had a high probability of inciting fans to question your character!"
"But it's strange, really. As soon as Zhou Yuchu posted her long article, all the negative comments about you and Aunt Jiang disappeared, and the trending topics were completely removed. It's as if someone was manipulating things behind the scenes?"
"It must have been Fu Siyan who did it."
Qiao Xingjia was surprised, "Huh? He actually helped you?"
"I threatened him."
Qiao Xingjia stared wide-eyed at Shen Qingshu, who remained calm. "Sister, tell me quickly, how did you threaten him?"
“Public opinion is a double-edged sword. Fu Siyan and I haven’t officially divorced yet,” Shen Qingshu said, looking at Qiao Xingjia. “Tell me, what do you think they’re most afraid of?”
Qiao Xingjia suddenly realized and gave Shen Qingshu a thumbs up.
"It has to be you! You're such an idol now that you've shed your love-struck mind! But seriously, Zhou Yuchu is really asking for trouble. Fu Siyan has been protecting her at every turn, and she's even had a son. After five years of hard work, she's finally about to take the lead. Looking around the entire Beicheng, who has better luck than her? Wouldn't it be better if she just stayed and was a good movie queen? Why did she have to bother with you, her soon-to-be ex-wife!"
“Everyone has selfish motives,” Shen Qingshu said calmly. “I don’t want to compete with her, but that doesn’t mean she thinks my existence poses no threat to her.”
“You’re right!” Qiao Xingjia nodded. “After all, you’re still Mrs. Fu in the right now, and that alone is enough to make her anxious!”
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and remained silent.
If she could, she would rather she had never been Mrs. Fu.
Qiao Xingjia could tell that she was in a bad mood, but she was helpless and didn't know what to say to comfort her.
His eyes darted around, finally settling on her stomach.
Another long sigh.
Everything is truly going wrong.
-
Three days later, Jiang Yuelan released her report.
Qin Yancheng went directly to Qiao Xingjia.
Upon seeing the report, Qiao Xingjia immediately called Shen Qingshu.
Today is the day Wen Jingxi arrives in Beicheng.
Shen Qingshu's burns on her hands have almost healed, and she can drive herself now.
At that moment, she was driving Qiao Xingjia's car to the airport to pick up Wen Jingxi.
I received a call from Qiao Xingjia halfway there.
Qiao Xingjia didn't go into details over the phone, only telling her to rush back to the hospital as soon as possible.
My heart sank slightly, and my eyelids started twitching violently.
She sent a message to Wen Jingxi and turned around to drive to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Shen Qingshu went straight to Qin Yancheng's office.
Qin Yancheng handed the report to her, and Shen Qingshu took it.
Acute leukemia, middle to late stage.
The devastating news struck like a bolt from the blue; Shen Qingshu could not believe it.
But the report was in her hands.
She struggled to find her voice and looked at Qin Yancheng, asking, "Can it be cured?"
“It is definitely curable, but your mother’s overall physical condition is relatively weak. Both radiotherapy and chemotherapy would be a huge challenge for her. The best treatment option is a bone marrow transplant.”
“Bone marrow transplant…” Shen Qingshu’s eyelashes trembled. “Would it be okay to use my bone marrow?”
“The kinship match score is relatively high, but it’s not absolute,” Qin Yancheng said. “You can do the matching test first.”
"Okay, I'll do it..."
"Are you crazy?!" Qiao Xingjia reminded her, "Have you forgotten your current situation?"
Shen Qingshu certainly hadn't forgotten, "I haven't forgotten, but I have to save my mother."
Qiao Xingjia frowned, "But you..."
"Xingxing, don't try to persuade me." Shen Qingshu's attitude was firm: "There is nothing more important than saving my mother."
Looking at the two of them, Qin Yancheng felt that there was something important hidden between them.
…
Qiao Xingjia's private clinic.
“You’re pregnant and don’t meet the donation criteria.” Qiao Xingjia locked the door and pulled Shen Qingshu to sit down in a chair. “A pregnant woman’s bone marrow condition is unstable. Even if you get a match, you still can’t donate.”
Shen Qingshu lowered her eyes and said, "Then I'll get the matching after the surgery."
“That won’t happen overnight,” Qiao Xingjia sighed. “After the abortion, your physical condition will definitely be affected, and you will need to recuperate for a period of time before you meet the requirements for donation.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu frowned.
"Ah Shu, I know you're anxious, but now that things have happened, you need to calm down first."
Qiao Xingjia held her hand and comforted her, "I'm with you. I've already made an appointment for matching, and Dr. Qin has also submitted it to the bone marrow registry."
Shen Qingshu looked up at Qiao Xingjia and said, "Xingxing, thank you."
"Don't worry." Qiao Xingjia smiled at her. "Fighting cancer is a long battle. We'll support Aunt Jiang in overcoming this disease together."
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and nodded.
…
Nighttime at Haoyue, the largest private club in the northern part of the city.
Shen Qingshu found out that Shen Yanying was having a gathering here tonight.
The chances of a successful match are high among immediate family members, so even though she knew Shen Yanying would most likely not agree, Shen Qingshu still wanted to give it a try.
After exiting the elevator, Shen Qingshu walked towards the private room where Shen Yanying was.
After turning a corner, a few people walked towards us.
Fu Siyan was accompanied by Zhou Yuchu, Qin Yancheng, and Gu Jinchen, the fourth young master of the Gu family, who was known as a playboy in Beicheng.
Gu Jinchen's girlfriends are mostly popular actresses in the entertainment industry, and a few are quite popular internet celebrities. In short, he is a famous figure who became famous by changing girlfriends.
However, Shen Qingshu had no interest in paying attention to them.
She didn't stop walking, ignoring them, and continued walking straight ahead.
When Zhou Yuchu saw Shen Qingshu walking towards them, she frowned slightly and reached out to take Fu Siyan's arm.
