Chapter 190 We are a family
When Zhao Tinglan and Lin Mingqi got married, although they were extremely in love, they signed a prenuptial agreement because of their unequal family backgrounds.
It would be fine if they don't get divorced. If they get divorced, Zhao Tinglan won't get any of the Lin family's or Lin Mingqi's property.
Lin Youning didn't know the specific content of the agreement before, nor had she heard them mention it. Later, Zhao Tinglan didn't want to divorce, and although she guessed it, she didn't care.
Even if Zhao Tinglan left the house with nothing, she still had money and could support both Zhao Tinglan and herself.
But Zhao Tinglan didn't think so. She felt that she owed Lin Youning too much, and she wanted to make it up to her in this way, and she could only make it up to her in this way. She knew too clearly that she would not live much longer.
That's why when Lin Youning advised her to divorce, she refused so firmly.
The prenuptial agreement between her and Lin Mingqi, including the subsequent supplementary agreement, all emphasized that if she and Lin Mingqi divorced, she would have to leave the house with nothing. And vice versa.
When Zhao Tinglan was young, she and Lin Mingqi were in love, and Lin Mingqi also loved her. Therefore, when their love was deep, he gave Zhao Tinglan a lot of things, including fixed assets.
When Zhao Tinglan gave birth to Lin Youning, the old man thought she was a daughter, but he still liked her.
At that time, he gave Zhao Tinglan company shares for her hard work. Although it was not much, the dividends she could get every year were not small.
But once she and Lin Mingqi divorced, the old man would take back the money. That was an unequal treaty signed at that time.
“…”
Many, many.
Of course, the main reason why Zhao Tinglan was unwilling to divorce was that she didn't have much time left, she didn't want to struggle anymore, and she wanted to plan something for Lin Youning. But she was wrong, Lin Youning didn't need her to sacrifice for him like this.
She didn't need the things that Zhao Tinglan fought for her, and she didn't want to hear Zhao Tinglan's will.
"I don't know..." After coming out of the doctor's office, Lin Youning buried her head in Gu Huaichen's arms and sobbed, tears falling uncontrollably, "I don't know anything at all."
How could Zhao Tinglan keep this secret from all of them?
Gu Huaichen hugged Lin Youning tightly, feeling as if something was grabbing his heart. She felt uncomfortable, and he felt uncomfortable too.
"There's still time." Gu Huaichen stroked her back and said, "I'll ask a doctor to come and check on Mom."
Lin Youning raised her head and asked, "Is there any hope?"
Gu Huaichen paused for a moment, raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and whispered, "We must have hope."
After hearing this, Lin Youning understood.
There is probably no hope for Zhao Tinglan's disease. If not, Gu Huaichen would not have answered himself like this.
"Why is she so stupid?" Lin Youning asked.
She didn't need Zhao Tinglan to sacrifice anything for her. She didn't need it. She didn't understand why Zhao Tinglan insisted on this.
Gu Huaichen comforted Lin Youning for a long time, and only after she had calmed down did they return to the ward.
Zhao Tinglan is still sleeping and hasn't woken up yet.
Looking at her thin face, Lin Youning felt very regretful. Why didn't he go home to see her recently and why didn't he contact her more often?
She clearly noticed something was wrong when she went home for the New Year, so why didn't she think about it more or ask?
Gu Huaichen's cell phone rang. It was Ji Nutu, who had received the message.
He took it out and took a look at it, said something to Lin Youning, then picked up his phone and walked out of the ward.
“…”
After he left, the ward became quieter.
Lin Youning stared at Zhao Tinglan in a daze, somewhat absent-minded and with his mind in a mess.
Suddenly, the person on the bed moved. Lin Youning held her breath and just stared at her.
The moment Zhao Tinglan opened her eyes and saw Lin Youning, she thought she was hallucinating. She closed her eyes and then opened them again.
After confirming that the person in front of her was Lin Youning, Zhao Tinglan sighed softly, "Aunt Hui called you?"
Lin Youning pursed her lips and said nothing, her eyes red again.
"Don't cry," Zhao Tinglan saw her aggrieved look and quickly reached out to sit up, wanting to stroke her cheek and comfort her, "Ningning, I'm fine."
Lin Youning tried to hold back, but in the end she couldn't help but scold her, "How can it be okay?"
She asked her, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Why keep it a secret from her?
Seeing her like this, Zhao Tinglan smiled weakly, "…It's really not a big deal, just a sickness."
She didn't want to make Lin Youning worry.
When the disease was diagnosed, Lin Mingqi was forcing Lin Youning to quit the dance troupe and wanted to arrange for her to get married. At that time, Lin Youning couldn't even arrange her own life, so how could Zhao Tinglan dare to let her know about her illness.
Hearing this, Lin Youning wanted to question her again. She wanted to ask if she was just sick. Did she know that she had missed the best time for surgery and that she didn't have much time left?
No doctors in China or abroad have yet managed to conquer this type of cancer.
How dare she say so calmly that she was just sick?
Lin Youning's tears that she had been holding back began to fall again. Zhao Tinglan hurriedly stood up and hugged her who was sitting next to the bed, "I'm sorry... Ningning, Mommy is sorry..."
Lin Youning choked up and said, "I don't want your apology."
She wants Zhao Tinglan to get better.
“…”
Gu Huaichen returned home after answering the phone and just happened to hear the conversation between the mother and daughter.
He raised his hand and pinched his brow, sighed lightly, and did not push the door open and go in immediately.
After standing at the door of the ward for a while, Gu Huaichen picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Liang Jingyan, asking him to fly to the United States for him and invite a top international medical team to return to China to treat Zhao Tinglan.
It is unlikely to let Zhao Tinglan go to the United States. She would feel insecure in a foreign country where she is unfamiliar with the place.
The best solution is to invite the doctor back to his country.
Liang Jingyan had just learned about the Lin family's situation, and replied without hesitation: "I'll go over tonight, send me her medical records."
Gu Huaichen: [Thank you.]
Liang Jingyan did not respond to this thank you.
There was no need for them to exchange such polite words.
Gu Huaichen put away his phone and waited until the atmosphere in the ward eased a little before knocking on the door and going in.
"Huaichen..." Zhao Tinglan looked up, apologetically, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
Gu Huaichen glanced at Lin Youning and said slowly, "Mom, there is no trouble. We are a family."
Zhao Tinglan was startled, then suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, we are a family."
She looked at Gu Huaichen and whispered, "I'll be relieved that Ningning has you in the future."
Lin Youning and Gu Huaichen looked at each other. Lin Youning was a little annoyed. "Can you please not say such self-destructive words?"
She stared at Zhao Tinglan and said, "Even if it's for me, please live a little longer."
Zhao Tinglan looked at her with gentle eyes.
She was silent for a long time, raised her hand and touched Lin Youning's head, and whispered, "Okay."
She will try her best.
