Chapter 354 Her protective nature towards her family VS His soft heart towards his wronged child (12)
When Jiang Zhiyi learned of this news, she was completely stunned.
Qiqi is at risk of having an attack at any time. Her condition is serious, and once she has an attack, she only has a few minutes to be rescued. Therefore, even in the hospital, she cannot be left alone and must be watched over by someone at all times.
What are they trying to do by bringing Qiqi home now? Are they going to abandon Qiqi, to abandon this hard-won child?
Jiang Zhiyi was angry that they made the decision without consulting their family, but at the same time she was also very sad and heartbroken that they had to make such a painful sacrifice.
She stopped the two people who were packing their things.
“Qiqi can’t be discharged from the hospital; she needs surgery. I’ll pay for her medical expenses; I have the money. I’ve said before that you don’t need to worry about the money.”
Jiang Yongfu and Li Aijin exchanged a glance.
Li Aijin wiped away the tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, shook her head, and choked out, "Zhizhi, I know you feel sorry for Qiqi, and for your parents, but you also have your own life. We hope you can live well, and we don't want her to be a burden to you..."
Jiang Zhiyi let out a long breath. She knew what they were worried about, and she didn't want to argue with them about it at the moment.
They were never adversaries. On the contrary, it was precisely because they shared the same stance and deeply loved their family and its members that they were willing to sacrifice their own happiness to make the other's life better.
She said firmly, "From today onwards, I will take care of everything concerning Qiqi. You can stay home and look after her younger siblings. I am determined to treat her illness. If you still consider me your daughter, then listen to my arrangements and don't stop me."
The situation remained deadlocked in the ward.
Li Aijin and Jiang Yongfu understood her feelings, but things weren't as simple as she made them out to be; this wasn't a small sum of money...
Silence fell over the ward again.
No one spoke, no one compromised, and no one was willing to give in.
Occasionally, all you can hear is Qiqi cooing and playing with you.
There was a sudden knock on the door of the ward.
When she opened the door, she saw quite a few people there—Jiang Zhiyi's uncles, aunts, and cousins…
They pooled together some money and sent it over.
Li Aijin could no longer hold back her emotions and threw herself into her younger sister Li Aiyin's arms, crying loudly.
Even though she had been trying to hold herself together, she couldn't help but reveal her vulnerability.
Li Aiyin's voice choked with emotion: "Please treat me, how can we not treat me? No matter how difficult it is, we're here for you, you'll definitely get better..."
Qiqi ultimately stayed at the hospital, and the surgery arrangements began to proceed as normal.
Jiang Zhiyi breathed a brief sigh of relief.
As for Qiqi's surgery and medical expenses, she has almost finished preparing them.
She received a considerable amount of money from Fu Chengyan over time.
However, she did not tell Fu Chengyan about Qiqi's specific condition, only saying that Qiqi would have a minor surgery in a few days.
She had her own considerations. Qiqi's illness was incurable and, to put it bluntly, a bottomless pit. She was afraid that Fu Chengyan would have a problem with it and be unwilling to help, so she could only say that it was a minor illness.
There was also the time she pretended to have a stomachache, and unexpectedly Fu Chengyan took it to heart and kept having people help her with her treatment. She then used this as an excuse to get some money.
That night.
Jiang Zhiyi was taking her medicine in her room upstairs, but after the nanny who delivered the medicine left, she poured all the medicine into the sink.
She was perfectly healthy; all medicines have side effects, so of course she wouldn't drink them indiscriminately.
But she didn't notice that all these movements were being observed by Fu Chengyan, who was standing at the door.
This is a decoction of traditional Chinese medicine. The prescription was obtained by him from a highly respected old Chinese medicine doctor who used to work in the army. These prescriptions are not easy to obtain, and most of them require confidentiality.
Fu Chengyan went to great lengths to obtain the prescription, and the medicinal herbs in the prescription were also hard to find. He sent people all over the country to search for them, and it was only with great difficulty that he managed to gather all the herbs together.
Jiang Zhiyi was also very afraid of bitter tastes and always refused to take medicine. He had to coax her with money and gifts every time to drink it.
I never imagined that all my efforts would be in vain.
She was really quite something, lying to him with a clear conscience and completely fooling him.
What did she take him for? A fool she could manipulate at will?
Fu Chengyan's face was gloomy, clearly he was very angry, and he turned around and went downstairs.
"Sir, are you going out now? Dinner will be ready soon..." The nanny in the lobby came forward to ask.
"Go back to the old house, no need to prepare anything for me." He strode out the door.
Jiang Zhiyi didn't notice anything amiss. When the nanny came up to tell her that Fu Chengyan had left, she didn't take it seriously, assuming he had something urgent to attend to at the old house.
She was worried about Qiqi's surgery.
She thought that after she finished her work tomorrow, she would still have to go to the temple to sincerely pray.
Since Fu Chengyan left that day, he has not returned and has been staying at the old house.
The two have no contact whatsoever.
Jiang Zhiyi didn't bother with him for the time being. Firstly, she really didn't have the time or energy to deal with him. Secondly, he never talked to her about the Fu family's old house, so she wouldn't presume to ask about it, lest he overthink things.
That morning.
Jiang Zhiyi took some time to go to the hospital.
Qiqi is going to have surgery in a couple of days, and we need to pay the surgery deposit now.
Strangely, none of her cards worked; she couldn't swipe a single one.
This is the money Qiqi is saving to save her life; we absolutely cannot afford any mistakes at this critical moment.
Jiang Zhiyi quickly took out her phone and called the bank to ask what was going on.
The bank replied that all her cards had been frozen.
