Chapter 21 What did she go to the hospital for?
The cell phone suddenly rang.
Qiao Xingjia was taken aback, then realized it was her call.
"Excuse me, I need to take this call." Qiao Xingjia took off her gloves and answered the phone, "Aunt Qin, what's wrong... Aunt Jiang fainted?!"
On the operating table, Shen Qingshu suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Qiao Xingjia, and asked, "What happened to my mother?"
"Aunt Jiang fainted. Aunt Qin called you many times but couldn't get through, so she called me. Don't worry, Aunt Qin has already called an ambulance, and they're on their way to the hospital..."
Shen Qingshu immediately got up and stepped off the operating table. "The surgery is on hold for now. I need to make sure my mother is alright."
...
Jiang Yuelan was unconscious when she was taken to the hospital.
With the recent flu outbreak, the emergency department is short-staffed, and Qin Yancheng happened to be helping out in the emergency department today.
Jiang Yuelan was taken to the emergency room and treated by Qin Yancheng.
Fortunately, he was taken to the hospital in time, and although he was still unconscious, he was no longer in danger of dying.
Jiang Yuelan, who was still unconscious, was taken to the ward, with Aunt Qin following along.
Qin Yancheng glanced at Shen Qingshu, who was wearing a hospital gown, then turned to Qiao Xingjia and said thoughtfully, "Ms. Jiang's blood test results have some issues. I suggest she be hospitalized for a full-body checkup."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xingjia's brow twitched.
Qin Yancheng is an authoritative oncology expert, and his judgments are generally accurate.
Shen Qingshu's nerves, which had just relaxed, tensed up again. She stared at Qin Yancheng, her brows furrowed.
"Dr. Qin, do you mean...my mother has a health problem?"
"This is just my preliminary assessment; we'll have to wait for the detailed examination report to come out."
Chen Qingshu's breath hitched, and a strong sense of unease welled up inside her.
Her slender body swayed slightly, and Qiao Xingjia quickly supported her.
"Dr. Qin only suggested the examination. Ah Shu, cheer up. Aunt Jiang is a lucky person, it's definitely not a big problem."
Shen Qingshu nodded, muttering to herself, "Yes, she will live a long and healthy life..."
Qiao Xingjia and Qin Yancheng nodded and helped Shen Qingshu walk towards the ward.
Qin Yancheng watched their departing figures, took out his phone from his pocket, and dialed Fu Siyan's number.
"Fu Siyan, guess who I saw at the hospital?"
At that moment, Fu Siyan had just come out of Yaoyue Mansion.
He opened the Maybach door and bent down to get in.
The car door closed, and he asked in a low voice, "Who?"
"The person I met at the hotel that day was my acquaintance's best friend, and your rumored lover whom everyone hates."
"Chen Qingshu?" Fu Siyan paused in fastening his seatbelt, his voice low and deep: "What is she doing at the hospital?"
“Her mother was sick, and I happened to be the one treating her,” Qin Yancheng said. “Judging from the blood test, it’s almost certainly cancer.”
Fu Siyan paused, "Can it be cured?"
"We'll have to wait for the final test results to see the specifics." Qin Yancheng touched his neck and added, "But I noticed that Shen Qingshu was also wearing our hospital gown, and her complexion wasn't very good. She looked quite pitiful."
"She's sick too?" Fu Siyan's tone was indifferent, revealing no emotion. "Is it serious?"
"I didn't ask that." Qin Yancheng raised an eyebrow. "Strange, you seem quite concerned about Shen Qingshu? Aren't you two not close? Could it be... that you and she are really having an affair?"
"You talk too much." Fu Siyan frowned slightly and said coldly, "If you have too much free time, write a couple more papers and stop gossiping."
Qin Yancheng: "...You really are something! I was just joking, why are you getting so worked up!"
"I'm hanging up now if there's nothing else."
"Don't hang up yet!" Qin Yancheng said urgently, "If you want to know about Shen Qingshu, I can ask her for you..."
"No need," Fu Siyan said coldly. "He's not an important person."
The call was abruptly cut off after he finished speaking.
-
Shen Qingshu first went back to her own ward to change her clothes and tidy herself up before going to see Jiang Yuelan.
When she arrived at the ward, Aunt Qin was waiting outside. Upon seeing her, she hurried over.
"Miss Chen, please don't go in yet."
Shen Qingshu asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"Your mother has woken up, but right now..." Aunt Qin pulled Shen Qingshu aside and said in a low voice, "To tell you the truth, your mother saw the news online. She thought you were involved in someone else's relationship, and she couldn't handle the shock, which is why she fainted!"
Shen Qingshu was stunned.
News online?
She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly realized what she was doing and turned to look at Qiao Xingjia.
"Star, give me your phone."
Qiao Xingjia knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she had no choice but to hand the phone over to her.
Shen Qingshu opened her phone and logged into Weibo.
Her private messages were overflowing, and the comments under her clarification post were full of curses.
'jinx'
'Scheming woman'
'Puxin Woman'
'Killed his own father'
'Know three and act three'
'Die, the murderer's daughter!'
'The daughter who killed her husband shall not die a good death!'
'Evil will be punished, and retribution will come sooner or later!'
The numerous similarly offensive and malicious words stung Shen Qingshu so much that her eyes turned red.
…
The ward door was gently pushed open from the outside.
Shen Qingshu walked in.
Jiang Yuelan sat blankly on the hospital bed. Hearing the noise, she slowly turned her head.
Upon seeing Shen Qingshu, Jiang Yuelan's pale and haggard face broke into a faint smile. "Why are you back?"
"My flight was delayed, but I rushed back as soon as I received a call from Aunt Qin."
Shen Qingshu walked to the bedside and reached out to touch her mother's face. "Mom, don't overthink it. All those things online are fake."
"Is it all fake?" Jiang Yuelan looked into Shen Qingshu's eyes. "A-Shu, do you dare swear on my life that you and Attorney Fu are completely innocent and have no connection whatsoever?"
Shen Qingshu was taken aback.
“You are my daughter.” Jiang Yuelan stared intently at Shen Qingshu, clearly seeing every subtle expression in her feigned composure.
“Ah Shu, how could you…” Jiang Yuelan’s eyes were red, she gritted her teeth and said with a look of utter disappointment, “My life has been ruined by a third party! How could you… how could you be…”
If Jiang Yuelan were to utter the word "mistress" to her daughter...
She closed her eyes, tears welling in her eyes as she angrily denounced her daughter: "What you're doing is like stabbing me in the heart! Ah Shu, if the price for avoiding the death penalty is my daughter interfering in someone else's marriage, then I... would rather die!"
Shen Qingshu's pupils suddenly contracted.
She looked at her mother, whose pale face was already soaked with tears.
"Mom, that's not true, I didn't... I really didn't..."
Shen Qingshu held Jiang Yuelan's hand and pleaded, "Mom, please believe me, okay?"
"I felt something was off about you at the hotel that day..." Jiang Yuelan looked at her, her eyes full of disappointment, "A-Shu, you love Fu Siyan, your eyes can't lie to me!"
Shen Qingshu was taken aback.
Jiang Yuelan looked at her, shaking her head with a mix of tears and laughter. "A-Shu, you made a mistake. Mom can't forgive you. I don't want to see you right now. Go away!"
“No…” Shen Qingshu held her mother’s hand tightly, “I can explain, Mom, please let me explain…”
"You can leave now!" Jiang Yuelan pushed Shen Qingshu away.
Shen Qingshu was pushed back a few steps, and the ward door opened—
Fu Siyan walked in from outside and reached out to help Shen Qingshu, who almost fell.
Shen Qingshu steadied herself, looked up and saw it was him. Her expression changed, and she immediately pushed him away.
Fu Siyan was pushed away by her, but he only slightly raised his dark eyebrows, his cold and stern face still showing no emotion.
Shen Qingshu glared at him with resentment in her eyes: "Fu Siyan, what are you doing here?"
