Chapter 663: Temptation
At ten past seven in the evening, Yu Zhiming, after a busy day at work, finally arrived at Qingning's parents' home in Rhine Mansion.
Because the house was entered by elevator, Yu Zhiming came to the living room of Qingning's parents' house as soon as he walked out of the elevator.
He saw Qi Tao, Qi Rui, Song Yun, Song Qiao and other little guys either kneeling or sitting cross-legged on a large carpet in the living room, absorbed in assembling Lego toys.
Yu Ma, the eldest sister, the fourth sister, Xiaoxue, Zeng Yan and others, accompanied by Qingning Ma and Zhu Ying, were drinking tea and chatting in the tea area in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
"My dad, where is your dad?" Yu Zhiming asked Qing Ning who came to greet him in a low voice.
"Playing chess in the study."
Qing Ning took Yu Zhiming's coat and said with a smile, "My dad and your dad are playing chess, and my eldest brother and fourth brother-in-law, two terrible chess players, are also competing against each other."
Yu Zhiming said "oh" and went to the tea area to greet his mother, elder sister and Qingning's mother.
Qing Ning's mother, Lu Hong, smiled and said, "You've been tired all day, you must be tired and hungry."
"Qingning, take Zhiming to dinner first. If you have anything to say, we can talk after dinner..."
Yu Zhiming washed up quickly and followed Qing Ning to the restaurant, where he saw his aunt placing food on the dining table.
Soon, more than a dozen bowls and dishes were piled on the dining table.
Yu Zhiming discovered that each dish, apart from the fact that the quantity was a little less, should have been made in duplicate judging by the presentation and completeness of the dish.
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "My parents said that even if you're dining alone, you have to be treated like a proper banquet."
Yu Zhiming was very pleased and said, "I'm sorry for the trouble and expense, uncle and aunt."
"Lime, will you eat some more with me?"
Qing Ning touched her belly and sighed softly, "It's definitely not possible to eat and drink with you, but I can watch you eat."
She served Yu Zhiming a bowl of cordyceps chicken soup and sat down next to him.
"Zhi Ming, since my brother's wedding is scheduled for June, our wedding has been tentatively scheduled for September or October."
Yu Zhiming ate a piece of yellow croaker meat.
Qing Ning smiled again and said, "We have to hold three wedding banquets, one in Binhai, one in your hometown, and one in my hometown as well."
Qing Ning calculated happily, "Looks like we still have more than half a year left, but I also need to get the wedding dress ready."
"Zhiming, what do you think? Should we go to Zhou Mo's house to order it? Or go somewhere else?"
"In my hometown, there's a well-known shop that makes custom-made wedding dresses. Several of my cousins had their dresses custom-made there."
Yu Zhiming took a sip of soup to wash down the food in his mouth, and then he heard Qing Ning chattering again: "Three wedding banquets, I'm sure you'll need a lot of suits."
"The family should be too busy to handle it."
"Why not place a few orders from both stores and let them design the best and most beautiful dresses."
"Zhiming, what do you say?"
When Yu Zhiming opened his mouth to express his opinion, Qing Ning sighed again and said, "My dad told you not to worry about anything. Just show up at the wedding on time."
"Well, you don't have to worry about these little things. Mom, sister, and I can discuss it."
After Qing Ning took charge of all the wedding preparations on her own, she began to care about Yu Zhiming.
"Are you tired on your first day back home after the Lunar New Year?"
"Did anything interesting happen?"
Yu Zhiming, who had the chance to speak, quickly replied, "Not bad. It wasn't too busy today, so I'm not too tired."
"Nothing interesting happened, but something disgusting happened..."
Then, Yu Zhiming briefly talked about how Geng Guowei’s biological mother and her family came to the hospital to find him.
"Half-sister?"
"And you're pretending to be unwell to gain sympathy?"
Qing Ning said indignantly, "This mother is so heartless. After she remarried, she must have ignored Geng Guowei, which broke his heart and caused him to keep silent about his family."
She then reminded him, "Zhiming, tell Fourth Sister about this later and ask her to remind Jiang Quan when she gets home."
"lest……"
Yu Zhiming interrupted, "That family came to the hospital to see me. They must have contacted Jiang Quan first. The important thing is that they didn't get what they wanted from her."
Qing Ning also came to his senses.
"So, their purpose in contacting you is to get you to prove that the video will is invalid?"
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "That should be it!"
"I didn't treat them well and told them that if they had any objections to the distribution of the inheritance, they should go through legal channels."
Qing Ning nodded her head and said, "That's how it should be..."
When Yu Zhiming was halfway through his dinner, Gu Qingran came to the restaurant and sat on his other side.
"Zhiming, your uncle is a very good chess player. He played five games against my dad and only lost one."
"I highly suspect that my uncle deliberately let my dad win that game."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "My dad doesn't have much to do usually. He often plays chess with others, unlike my uncle who is always busy with all sorts of things."
Gu Qingran also laughed and said, "Many people play chess their whole lives and still suck at it. This is talent."
"No wonder you're so smart, it's genetic."
After a pause, Gu Qingran turned and said, "The young gynecologist who wanted to study with you has already reported to Ning'an."
"When will she come to your place?"
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "Let's wait until our center moves and then let her come with the others."
Gu Qingran hummed and said, "That's fine. Let her work and get familiar with Ning'an for a while and develop some feelings for it."
"Hey, you tomorrow?"
Yu Zhiming replied: "If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to reach Ning'an by the evening."
Gu Qingran chuckled and said, "Then I'll wait for you at Ning'an's place tomorrow evening."
He sighed again and said, "Now that Meng Fan has had surgery, those healthy cancer patients are very worried. They can't wait to ask about Meng Fan's recovery every day."
Yu Zhiming was quite familiar with the physical conditions of those people and shook his head, saying, "None of them are suitable."
Gu Qingran let out a long breath and said, "There was a group of people struggling to survive, and suddenly one person climbed ashore."
"I'm worried that some people's mentality will collapse."
Yu Zhiming glanced at him and said, "There's another possibility. That guy couldn't make it and passed away first."
Gu Qingran said in a deep voice: "That won't happen. Your good luck will definitely protect him."
"Besides, we don't allow it either."
"Zhiming, let me tell you, in order to help him recover quickly, we invited Mr. Ye Huazhang, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, to take his pulse every two days and give him a tonic every three days."
"The three million Meng Fan spent was not a loss at all."
Yu Zhiming was a little skeptical and asked, "Would Mr. Ye take on such a job?"
Gu Qingran chuckled softly and said, "First, Mr. Ye is very interested and wants to see if your treatment plan can be successful."
"Secondly, we spent real money."
"The average cost of taking the pulse, prescribing medicine, and giving tonics is nearly 20,000 yuan a day."
Gu Qingran complained again, "Zhiming, three million seems like a lot, but it's very likely that in the end, the hospital won't make a penny, and may even lose a lot."
Yu Zhiming ignored him and continued eating.
The next moment, Gu Qingran went to get a set of tableware and started eating slowly.
After taking a few bites of food, he said with a bitter face: "Zhiming, the news of the late-stage cancer treatment has spread."
"These past few days, the hospital and I have been receiving 10 to 20 inquiries every day."
Yu Zhiming laughed and said, "This is good news. Ning An's reputation has spread first."
"Why do you look so miserable?"
Gu Qingran raised the corners of his mouth and eyes with both hands and said, "I want to be happy, but I really can't be happy."
After a pause, he turned and asked, "Zhiming, you haven't used up those two ginseng life-extending pills, right?"
Yu Zhiming asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"
"You want to launch a large-scale trial before even waiting for the initial results of Meng Fan's treatment?"
Gu Qingran showed a helpless expression and said, "Zhiming, I don't want this to happen either."
"The problem is, we can wait for the treatment to take effect, but some people can't wait."
"Some people clung to your treatment plan as a lifeline, mobilizing all the connections they could to bombard Ning An with favors."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and said, "Everything is calm and peaceful at Huashan Hospital. Only Ning An can't hold on?"
Gu Qingran smiled and said, "Zhi Ming, I asked Dean Li, and he said he was fed up with all the calls asking for favors."
"But, a senior leader has spoken."
"They said they would do their best to create a healthy, relaxed, and positive environment for you to study and practice medicine."
"So, no one dares to disturb you over at Huashan."
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but ask with amusement, "So, Ning An became their breakthrough point?"
Gu Qingran lamented, "Ning'an is a private enterprise after all. There's always a way to make it work, whether it's coercion or inducement."
"Zhiming, you have no idea how crazy some rich and powerful people with advanced cancer can be in order to keep themselves alive as long as possible."
Gu Qingran showed a pitiful expression and said, "Zhiming, I tried to hold on, but the opponent's attack was too fierce. I really couldn't hold on."
As the saying goes, even ants try to survive, let alone those upper-class people who have a lot of wealth that has not yet been squandered?
In order to survive, some people can really go crazy without any care.
Yu Zhiming thought about this and said, "Can't you just make the possibility of success seem very small to scare them off?"
Gu Qingran rolled his eyes and said, "A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Who makes you achieve success after success?"
"They simply didn't believe me when I told them. They believed you could definitely give them hope to survive."
Gu Qingran became serious and said, "Zhiming, I have six guys here who are quite influential. I really can't refuse. They are all willing to take a gamble."
"Zhiming, what do you see?"
He added: "Of course, they also offered attractive conditions, willing to pay between 10 million and 100 million yuan, and also said that you can choose from supercars, big houses, and villas."
Yu Zhiming teased, "I don't think you can resist it, you are tempted by the profit, right?"
Gu Qingran defended himself seriously, "Zhiming, am I someone who has never seen money?"
"Zhiming, you have to think about it from another perspective."
"The higher the price they're willing to pay, the more crazy they'll become if their demands aren't met..."
