Could it be that he heard about Charles's plan to perform surgery on Xiao Cheng?
As Yu Sheng was thinking this, she heard Yu Jing's question in her ear—
Who is it?
Yu Sheng didn't reply, but walked over and handed her the phone.
Yu Jing was all smiles, but her face fell instantly when she saw Qiao Weiyang's call.
Sitting opposite Yu Jing, Shang Shichang asked, "Who called?"
"Advertising calls."
Yu Jing retorted and hung up.
Just as I was about to put down my phone, Qiao Weiyang called again.
A hint of irritation rose between Yu Jing's brows.
Considering that Qiao Weiyang must have something to do, she asked Yu Sheng to take her place and got up to answer the call.
Because Yu Sheng was preoccupied with what Qiao Weiyang wanted to do with Yu Jing, she was distracted while playing cards, and in a short while, she was getting caught out by both winning and losing.
Yu Jing's phone call didn't last long, and she returned quickly, though she didn't look too good. She said to Shang Yan, who was instructing Li Susu on how to play cards, "Ayan, can you take over for Sheng Sheng for a while? I'll have her buy me something online."
After Shang Yan took over from Yu Sheng, Yu Sheng followed Yu Jing to her bedroom on the second floor.
As soon as the door closed, Yu Jing looked at Yu Sheng and said, "Wang Cuilan has cancer, and it's in its late stage!"
The name 'Wang Cuilan' brought Yu Sheng's memories back to twenty years ago.
She is Qiao Weiyang's mother, a rural woman from Northeast China. She was a math teacher in the village and could be considered an intellectual.
Yu Sheng was only three years old when he first met Wang Cuilan.
At that time, Yu Jing was about to give birth to her second child.
Qiao Weiyang took on a project that required him to join a scriptwriting team, so he brought his elderly mother from the rural area of Northeast China to Beijing to take care of Yu Jing.
This was not Wang Cuilan's first trip to Beijing; the first time was four years ago when Qiao Weiyang and Yu Jing got married.
At that time, she was happy, excited, proud, and honored. Her son, whom she, a rural woman, had not only established himself in Beijing but also married a girl from Beijing. She was very proud of him.
Although Wang Cuilan was from the countryside, she was also an intellectual and was highly respected in the village. She had a certain pride in her bones, so even when she went to the big city, she was not ashamed. However, the first time she met her daughter-in-law Yu Jing, she saw her disdain and contempt.
Wang Cuilan originally intended to stay in Beijing for a few more days, but seeing that her daughter-in-law looked down on her, she left as soon as their wedding was over. After that, she never went back to Beijing, and Yu Jing never came to the countryside to see her either. Her son, however, came back a few times and said that Yu Jing had given birth to a daughter for him...
When Qiao Weiyang asked Wang Cuilan to go to Beijing to take care of Yu Jing during her second pregnancy, Wang Cuilan initially didn't want to go, but she was thinking about her granddaughter and unborn grandson, so she went...
At that time, Yu Sheng was three years old and had already started learning the zither. Yu Jing was very strict, and after Wang Cuilan came, she often argued with Yu Jing about this.
Yu Sheng clearly remembers that when she wasn't practicing the piano, Wang Cuilan would carry her to the park to ride the slides and rocking cars, and would even secretly buy her candy behind Yu Jing's back.
One night, she developed a high fever and couldn't get a taxi. Wang Cuilan carried her all the way to the hospital. The moment she put her in front of the doctor, Wang Cuilan fainted because her heart was beating too fast...
After Yu Jing and Qiao Weiyang divorced, Yu Sheng never saw Wang Cuilan again.
It has been thirteen years since then.
At first, Yu Sheng would occasionally think of that somewhat serious yet somewhat adorable old lady, but as time went on, she forgot about her!
Therefore, when Yu Sheng learned that Wang Cuilan had terminal cancer, he was stunned!
Seeing that Yu Sheng didn't respond, Yu Jing assumed that she didn't remember who Wang Cuilan was, and reminded her, "She is Qiao Weiyang's mother. She used to live in our house."
Yu Sheng nodded: "I remember."
"She's in the cancer hospital now, and probably doesn't have many days left. She heard you got married and wants to see you and Gu Ye before she dies... Although Wang Cuilan and I have argued a lot, she's always been very good to you. If she wants to see you, I won't stop you from going. What do you think?"
Yu Sheng's expression was somewhat grave: "Let's go see him!"
Yu Jing readily agreed: "Okay! I'll have Qiao Weiyang send over the ward number. You and Gu Ye should go now, so you don't miss out if you're late!"
Although Yu Jing's words were harsh, they were true.
Late-stage cancer is like having one foot in hell, with the other foot always at risk of entering.
After the mother and daughter went downstairs, Yu Sheng made an excuse that she had something to do at the concert hall and left the business with Gu Ye.
After getting into the car, she said with red eyes, "My grandma has late-stage cancer. Let's go to the cancer hospital to see her!"
Gu Ye paused for a moment and asked, "Your grandma? Qiao Weiyang's... mom?"
Yu Sheng nodded: "Mm."
Gu Ye thought that Yu Sheng and Qiao Weiyang's people didn't get along well, but she seemed to have a special feeling for this grandmother. He held her hand and said, "How come I've never heard you mention her before?"
Yu Sheng pulled her hand back: "Let's drive first, and talk on the way!"
Yu Sheng didn't give Gu Ye a long talk about her relationship with Wang Cuilan, but only gave a brief explanation.
Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Gu did not ask any further questions.
When visiting someone, you can't go empty-handed.
As they passed a large supermarket, Gu stopped the car and said, "I'm going in to buy some gifts. Wait for me."
"I'll go with you."
"good!"
Wang Cuilan is in such a condition that she can't eat any nutritional supplements at all, but even so, Yu Sheng still carefully selected several gift boxes.
When she checked out, she took a few lollipops wrapped in glass candy wrappers from the shelf.
Gu Ye laughed and said, "Why do you suddenly want some candy?"
Yu Sheng wasn't married; she just lowered her eyes, lost in thought...
...
When Wang Cuilan was in the ward, Qiao Weiyang, Zhu Lin, Qiao Moya, and Duan Huaisheng were all there.
