Chapter 653: As Close as Family
Around nine o'clock in the evening, Yu Zhiming returned to his home in Junshan Mansion and saw Qing Ning in sportswear, punching and kicking the standing sandbag with great force.
"Hey, I haven't exercised for a while. I feel like my body is getting rusty, so I'm going to move around a bit."
Qing Ning explained, then asked, "Is the problem solved? That girl is pretty?"
Yu Zhiming hummed softly, "We've found the cause of the disease. It's a spinal cord injury."
"That girl is pretty, so it's normal for Dr. Cui's nephew to be so obsessed with her."
After a pause, Yu Zhiming looked at the room upstairs and asked, "Are they all asleep?"
Qing Ning hummed, wiped the sweat from her face with a towel, and poured a glass of milk for herself and Yu Zhiming.
"Zhiming, the live-in aunt will arrive around ten o'clock tomorrow. Zeng Yan will arrive at Binhai International Airport at about twelve o'clock."
"Mom and Dad will arrive at the station around 2:30 in the afternoon."
Yu Zhiming took the milk and drank two sips.
Qing Ning continued, "My idea is to hire a seven-seater taxi tomorrow morning and have Xiaoxue take the little ones to the zoo first."
"Xiaoxue and the others also went to the airport to pick up Zeng Yan. They had lunch together outside and played until around 4:00 p.m. before returning."
"Tomorrow, at my parents' place..."
Yu Zhiming took over and said, "My fourth sister and I will go pick it up."
Qing Ning said, "In that case, I will stay home and help Auntie prepare dinner."
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "You should work hard for the next two or three days."
"Wait until Big Sister has rested up, and then you can leave the household chores to Big Sister."
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "One problem is that there are not enough rooms to go around."
"My parents have an elderly bedroom on the first floor, my eldest sister and brother-in-law have a second bedroom on the second floor, and the live-in aunt has a servant's room on the first floor."
"It's difficult to arrange for Zeng Yan, Xiao Bo, and the other little ones."
Yu Zhiming thought about it and decided, "Let Xiaobo and the three boys sleep on the sofa or on the floor in the living room."
"Zeng Yan will sleep with you guys first. If the bed is too crowded, she can sleep on the floor."
"A week passed quickly."
After a pause, Yu Zhiming asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Qing Ning, um, your father said during my last visit that he would give you a big house as a dowry, is that true?"
Qing Ning chuckled, "Even if it's not true, it has to be true. I'll cry, make a scene, and even threaten to commit suicide, and I'll definitely ask my parents to give me a big house with at least seven or eight rooms as a dowry."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be too big."
"With so many people living together, it's only a few days a year, so five or six rooms would be more than enough..."
As they were talking, they turned off the main lights in the living room, leaving a night light on to provide illumination, and went up the stairs to the master bedroom on the second floor.
Yu Zhiming saw Xiaoxue and Xiaoqiao lying in a mess on the two-meter-wide bed, taking up at least four-fifths of the space.
Yu Zhiming looked at them and shook his head, then started to adjust the sleeping position of the two little guys.
Unexpectedly, his movement woke both of them up.
Song Qiao hugged Yu Zhiming's neck in a daze.
"Uncle, is it time to eat?"
"Are you hungry?"
Song Qiao touched his stomach and said, "I don't feel hungry. I can eat delicious food."
Xiaoxue sat up cross-legged, her hair disheveled, and yawned, "I can eat some more too."
Yu Zhiming thought that dinner was supposed to be eaten at four or five in the afternoon, and it was already past nine in the evening.
It's normal to feel a little hungry.
Yu Zhiming looked at Qing Ning and said, "Hasn't the food we brought from home been touched yet?"
"Heat it up in the microwave and give it to them."
Qing Ning hummed and asked, "Do you want to eat?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said, "I won't eat anymore. I need to adjust my diet and daily routine to adapt to work."
Qing Ning took Xiao Xue and Xiao Qiao downstairs for a snack, and Yu Zhiming went to the bathroom to wash up.
He brushed his teeth, washed his face, and rinsed again before returning to his soundproof bedroom, which had been converted from a study. He sat at his desk, pulled a large medical tome from the bookshelf, and began flipping through it...
At this moment, the Zhou family was several buildings away.
Zhou Mo had just finished washing up and came out of the bathroom with his hair wrapped in a towel, only to find that his mother had returned from outside.
She obediently poured a glass of water for her mother.
"Momo, tomorrow..."
Zhou Mo quickly interrupted, "Mom, Doctor Yu is back, and my vacation as an assistant is officially over."
"Tomorrow morning, I have to accompany Dr. Yu to Bin University Affiliated Hospital to visit a patient who had heart malformation surgery. I also have to accompany Dr. Yu to examine another teenager with heart malformation."
"Tomorrow night, I will accompany Dr. Yu to perform a physical examination on a teenager from the United States with a complicated medical condition."
Zhou Hao glared at her and snorted, "I haven't even said half a word, and you already have eight hundred words waiting for me."
"Forget it, the studio business doesn't depend on you anyway."
Zhou Hao drank up the water in the cup, placed the cup on the coffee table, and said thoughtfully: "Doctor Yu has moved to Junshan Mansion, and we will be neighbors from now on."
"He's your boss, and he's actually helped us several times. Momo, ask him when he's free so we can invite Dr. Yu and his family."
Zhou Mo sat down next to his mother and asked in surprise, "Oh, is the sun rising from the west?"
"Mom, you've never really liked Dr. Yu. Why did you suddenly want to treat me to a meal?"
Zhou Hao snorted softly and said, "Before, I was worried that Doctor Yu had bad intentions and was coveting you."
"Now that more than half a year has passed, I've discovered that his character is pretty decent."
"Besides, he's a famous doctor and your leader. For your future, I have no choice but to humble myself and curry favor with him."
Zhou Mo curled her lips and said, "No, Mom, it doesn't matter if we don't invite this guest. Don't let yourself be wronged. Doctor Yu doesn't need a bite of food from our family."
Zhou Hao's face turned serious.
"Zhou Mo, don't be so arrogant. It's not easy for me to step back and achieve this."
Zhou Mo imitated Yu Zhiming and rolled his eyes, saying, "The problem is, Doctor Yu doesn't care if you retreat."
"If you're treating me to a meal so unwillingly, it's really better not to treat me at all."
After a pause, Zhou Mo continued, "Mom, if you need any help from Doctor Yu, just tell me..."
Having said this, Zhou Mo suddenly noticed a look of hesitation on his mother's face.
"Mom, do you really need help from Dr. Yu?"
"What exactly is it?"
"Is there something wrong with one of your sisters?"
As Zhou Mo kept asking questions, Zhou Hao picked up the cup again and wanted to drink some water to cover it up.
But I found that the cup was empty.
Zhou Hao put down the cup, then raised his expression and glanced at his daughter with dignity.
"What's your attitude? It's like you're interrogating a criminal."
"Go, pour me a glass of water."
Zhou Mo hummed twice, but still stood up obediently and took another glass of water.
Zhou Hao took a sip of water and sighed, "Tonight, I went to a ladies' party."
“At this party, I struck up a conversation and introduced myself to people, including my profession and the clothes I design at my studio.”
"Those people either ignored me or looked at me with disgust and disdain."
Zhou Mo could imagine the cold stares and indifference his mother encountered, and said distressedly: "Mom, the studio's business is not bad now. There is no need to make friends with those so-called celebrities."
Zhou Hao sighed softly, "The studio's clothes are all worth thousands or tens of thousands, and those people online can't afford much."
"Later, someone mentioned Yu Zhiming."
"I just interrupted and said that he and I were neighbors now, and that you were his personal assistant."
"Also, the relationship between the two parties..."
Zhou Hao felt embarrassed for once, his face flushed as he said, "You said, you said, the relationship between the two sides is as close as family."
"The next moment, I became the center of attention, and the way they looked at me changed."
Zhou Mo felt something was wrong.
"Mom, you wouldn't lose your judgment in the face of their flattery and agree to many of their requests, right?"
this……
Zhou Hao forced himself to maintain a straight face and said, "How could that be? Your mother has been around for over twenty years and has been struggling in society."
"How could you get so carried away by a few flattering words that you blindly agree to something excessive?"
These words made Zhou Mo breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhou Hao continued, "There's just one person whose situation is truly tragic and truly sympathetic."
Zhou Mo couldn't help but slap his forehead.
"Mom, I'm getting mad at you."
"Can you please stop panting when you speak? Just tell me what you promised others."
Zhou Hao wanted to be more firm, but facing his daughter's bright and unyielding eyes, his voice inevitably weakened.
"I didn't make a big promise. I just said I would put in a few good words for her in front of Dr. Yu."
"Tell me what's going on?" Zhou Mo urged.
Zhou Hao picked up the cup and took a few sips of water before slowly speaking, "Her husband had bladder cancer before. They said that the cancer is under better control after surgery and hasn't recurred in four years."
"But a few months ago, it was suddenly discovered that the cancer had metastasized to the liver, bones and other parts of the body."
"She has three children, the youngest is only five years old. Her parents are also here, as is her grandmother."
"She also said that she had been hiding the news of her husband's cancer metastasis from her grandmother and the children at home."
"She was crying so hard..."
Zhou Hao smiled awkwardly and continued, "She said that Dr. Yu has invented a new method for treating advanced cancer, which has a high chance of curing the cancer."
"Momo, is this true? Why do I feel like this is a little unreliable?"
“Can advanced cancer be cured?”
Zhou Mo said solemnly, "Doctor Yu is indeed testing a treatment method for advanced cancer. However, the conditions are harsh and the cost of treatment is quite high, at least two to three million."
Zhou Hao hurriedly said: "She said that money is not a problem."
Zhou Mo snorted lightly, "This isn't a matter of money. It's that the number of treatment spots is very limited and very precious."
"Mom, I'm telling you."
"In order to make money to support his beloved son, Director Qi had to apply to Dr. Yu for a treatment quota..."
