As he spoke, Xiao Cong pulled a red notebook from his breast pocket: "This is my work record. It details the time Dr. Su came to treat the leader each time, as well as the reasons why the treatment was not successful."
Qi Zhao moved closer to him, snatched the notebook, and began to examine it closely.
Xiao Cong's work notes are very meticulous, and her records of events are professional and detailed.
After reading it, Qi Zhao understood that the young doctor in front of him was telling the truth, while his sister Yaqin was talking nonsense.
Sister Yaqin angered her own father to death!
Of course, from a legal standpoint, she cannot be convicted; however, from now on, people will look at her as a murderer. Qi Yaqin will carry the heavy burden of "parricide" for the rest of her life.
Qi Zhao felt that this was nothing short of a catastrophe for Qiao Tianyue, who had just been recognized as a member of her family.
He looked at Qi Yaqin with immense heartache: "Sister Yaqin, how could you lie to me?! You've gone too far! You did something wrong, and you still won't admit it?"
Qi Yaqin was rendered speechless by Qi Zhao's questioning.
At this moment, Xia Tianxiu stepped forward, stretching out her arms to block Qi Yaqin: "Could you all please say less? Have you all forgotten that my mother is also a daughter who has just lost her father! Her pain is no less than any of yours!"
Upon seeing Xia Tianxiu again, Su Ruyi could no longer suppress her murderous intent.
Golden needles instantly appeared in her palm.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Qi Zhao pulled Xia Tianxiu aside: "Yue'er, don't get involved in this, listen to me!"
Su Ruyi's golden needle flew out and could not be taken back, piercing Qi Yaqin's arm.
Qi Yaqin winced in pain and cried out, "Ouch!"
Su Ruyi quickly put the golden needles back into her spatial storage.
Qi Yaqin's arm already had a bleeding needle mark.
"What the hell?!" Qi Yaqin's scalp tingled.
She was furious with her father and felt guilty. The sudden bleeding from her arm felt like a warning, or perhaps a punishment, throwing her into a panic. "Who is it? Come out! Stop playing tricks!"
The onlookers watched in disbelief as she cried out in pain and blood began to ooze from her arm.
No one touched her; it was as if they had seen a ghost.
Everyone got goosebumps.
Qi Zhao also felt a chill run down his spine. Protecting Xia Tianxiu, he said to Qi Yaqin, "Sister Yaqin, let someone take you downstairs to treat your wounds!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than two medics came over to help her up.
Qi Yaqin was eager to escape, so she immediately feigned weakness and helped the medic leave.
Cheng Weiguo looked at Qi Yasheng: "Yasheng, what are your plans?!"
“My father… said before he died that everything should be kept simple, no memorial service, no gifts… he wanted to be cremated, and his ashes… scattered in the river,” Qi Yasheng replied with difficulty. “Let’s respect his wishes.”
"What do they mean by what they said in Beijing?!" Cheng Weiguo was a little worried.
Is it reasonable not to hold a memorial service for such a high-ranking leader?
"Please, Grandpa Cheng, grant my father's wish," Qi Yasheng said again.
In fact, he also wanted to give his father a dignified memorial service.
However, the fact that Qi Yaqin angered her father to death cannot be erased.
It would be better if no memorial service was held; even if people knew about it, it would just circulate secretly.
Holding a memorial service would just give those people fodder for gossip!
If Qi Yaqin's disgraceful act were to spread throughout Beijing's social circles, her family's reputation would be completely ruined.
Qi Yasheng herself has an unmarried daughter!
Who would want to become in-laws with such a shrew?
Seeing Qi Yasheng's ashen face, Cheng Weiguo naturally understood his meaning. However, procedures still had to be followed: "Alright then, first write a document, stating your father's exact words of his last wishes, and send it to Beijing. Once it's approved, we'll proceed according to the approved instructions, okay?"
"I'll do whatever Grandpa Cheng says." Qi Yasheng gave Cheng Weiguo a grateful look.
Three days later, Qi Yuan's ashes were scattered into the Yangtze River, accompanied by Cheng Weiguo, Wang Changping, Qi Yasheng, and Qi Zhao.
Qi Yaqin did not go.
The Qi family had always decided to let her return to Beijing first.
On the train back, she fell ill with a high fever and became delirious.
Summer Xiu took care of her without ever taking off her clothes, attending to her in every possible way.
Summer Xiu had a bitter pill to swallow after betting on the wrong horse.
How could she have imagined that her grandfather, whom she had tried so hard to please, would die so soon?
Fortunately, I didn't offend this mother openly, otherwise, my life in the Qi family would have been very difficult!
However, this also gave her more time.
Qi Yaqin will likely be immersed in grief for a long time after Qi Yuan's passing.
Then she would have enough time to find the real Qiao Tianyue and eliminate any future troubles.
...
Su Ruyi thought so too.
When Qi Yuan passed away, the Qi family was thrown into chaos.
During this time, Xia Tianxiu had a chance to catch her breath, so she was bound to make a move against the real Qiao Tianyue!
With that in mind, it becomes essential to make a trip to Beijing as soon as possible.
But how could she get the opportunity to go to Beijing?
Just when she was feeling down, this opportunity unexpectedly came knocking on her door.
On the afternoon of the day the ashes were scattered, Qi Yasheng found her and invited her to Beijing to seek treatment for her teacher.
Unlike Qi Zhao, Qi Yasheng had personally experienced the wonders of Su Ruyi's medical skills.
Moreover, his teacher has a similar illness to his own, only more severe, and is now bedridden.
He was only kept alive by Dr. Feng Engui's medicine; otherwise, he would probably be dead by now.
For Qi Yasheng, her mentor was the most important person in her life besides her father.
So, without any formalities, he took out his bankbook and said, "Dr. Su, this is all the money I have. Do you think it's enough to pay you for this trip?"
Su Ruyi didn't take the passbook, but she could still see the handwritten character "仟" on it.
She felt a sense of awe and respect.
Giving one's all for a teacher is something not everyone can do.
She pushed the passbook back: "I promise you. It doesn't have to be like that. Just take care of my food and lodging in Beijing, and the paperwork for my trip."
Qi Yasheng nodded: "My father was right about you, thank you!"
As he spoke, he forcefully stuffed the passbook into Su Ruyi's hand.
Su Ruyi had no choice but to accept the savings book—she would return it to her teacher after he was cured, so that he could be at ease.
"Wait, I haven't finished yet." He smiled and said, "I also have a friend in Beijing. After I finish treating your teacher, I may need to stay in Beijing for another month or two. I'll have to trouble you to help me with all the formalities."
