Chapter 583: Not Bitter at All
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the ward, after the children left, Li Xu hugged Zhang Kun as if she had lost all her strength.
“What’s wrong? It’s just the early stages. It’ll be fine.” Zhang Kun hugged her and comforted her in a low voice.
“If anything happens to you, I don’t want to live anymore. Anyway, the children are all grown up, so I don’t have to care anymore.” Li Xu muttered.
Zhang Kun could not help but laugh, “What are you talking about?! The child was already grown up. Did they not need a mother anymore? A child with a mother is like a treasure. For the sake of the child, no matter what happens, you have to live well.”
Li Xu hugged Zhang Kun, and her tears couldn’t help but fall.
“Why are our lives so bitter?” She muttered.
When she was young, she had to farm, raise three children, and serve Ji Jianguo.
It wasn’t easy for her to get a divorce, meet Zhang Kun, and even manage her career well. But now, she might lose the person she loved.
As for Zhang Kun, when he was young, a car accident took away his wife and daughter. He married her and raised three children.
For the sake of her three children, he could not have his own children.
Now that he was finally going to enjoy the children’s blessings, he got this illness.
“I don’t think it’s bitter. It’s not bitter at all.” Zhang Kun sighed and said in a low voice.
Li Xu raised her head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“I feel very lucky to have met you and the children.” Zhang Kun whispered.
If he hadn’t met them back then, he would still be alone in his unit’s cafeteria, living his life day after day.
Li Xu was silent for a moment and finally spoke.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely cure you, definitely!” She said with a determined voice.
They sat on the chair in front of the hospital for about half an hour.
Ji Zi’ang received a call from someone at the club.
After hanging up, he looked a little anxious, “I have something to do. I have to go to the club. I’ll send you home first, and then I’ll go over.”
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan hurriedly shook her head and said, “No need, you go ahead. I’ll sit for a while more. I’ll go to a restaurant to pack some food later.”
The inspection and queuing took several hours.
It was almost five o’clock now. After sitting for a while longer, it was time to help Li Xu and Zhang Kun pack up their food.
Therefore, there was really no need to go home. It was a little too much trouble.
Ji Zi’ang hesitated for a moment before nodding, “Alright, call me if you need anything.”
Ji Yuanyuan urged him, “Go quickly. I have nothing to do.”
Only then did he hail a taxi and leave in a hurry.
Ji Yuanyuan sat alone on the bench and felt her eyes burning.
She looked up at the sky and blinked her eyes quickly.
Could it be that the heavens felt she was too happy now and wanted to take back the happiness they had given her?
Her father had always been in good health, and he did not smoke, eat, or drink. How could he suddenly have liver cancer?
In the past few years, she had been worried about Qin Haowen’s health.
However, she did not expect the first problem would be her father.
Tears fell from the corners of her eyes. She raised her hand and wiped them.
She comforted herself in a low voice, “It’s okay. It’s just early-stage liver cancer. The cure rate of early-stage liver cancer is very high. It will definitely recover. It will definitely…”
However, no matter how much Ji Yuanyuan comforted herself, she could not stop her tears.
Buzz, buzz, buzz. The phone in his pocket was vibrating.
She took a deep breath and took out her phone.
It was Qin Mucheng.
Her hands trembled as she pressed the answer b.u.t.ton.
On the other end of the phone, Qin Mucheng lowered his voice, “I should be able to get off work on time tonight. You don’t have cla.s.ses, right? Do you want to eat together? Do you want to eat the sashimi?”
“Big Brother Mucheng…” Ji Yuanyuan could not help but shout.
She tried her best to hold it in, but her voice was still a little choked.
Qin Mucheng was stunned for a moment before he asked gently, “Don’t cry.
Who bullied you? I’m going over now. Where are you in the school?”
Ji Yuanyuan sniffed, “I’m not at school. I’m at the hospital.”
“Hospital? What’s wrong with you?” When Qin Mucheng heard the word hospital, he became agitated and subconsciously raised his voice.
At this moment, Qin Mucheng was hiding in the pantry and making a call.
As soon as he spoke, the people in the office outside could not help but look over.
Qin Mucheng realized he had lost his composure and quickly lowered his voice again, “Are you alright? Which hospital are you in? I’ll go over now.”
Ji Yuanyuan knew that Qin Mucheng had misunderstood and quickly explained, “It’s not me. It’s my father. He has liver cancer…”
At the end of his sentence, her voice choked up again.
Qin Mucheng frowned and his expression turned ugly.
After asking for Ji Yuanyuan’s location, he walked out of the pantry and went to the Department Head’s office.
After taking leave, he packed up and planned to leave.
Seeing this, the girl at the next table quietly moved her chair closer to his desk and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong? Is someone at home sick?”
“It’s nothing.” Qin Mucheng smiled politely.
Other than that, he didn’t say anything else.
After packing his things, he left with his briefcase.
After Qin Mucheng left, a chubby young lady came over and chatted with the girl at the next table.
“Why is he still so cold? Didn’t you plan to invite him to dinner? You haven’t made your move yet?”
“He’s been quite busy recently, and I don’t think he’s interested in me. How can
I ask him?” The girl at the neighboring table whispered,
The chubby girl said, “If he’s not interested in you, how dare he, a rookie who has just joined the company for less than a year, speak up for you when you’re being embarra.s.sed by the manager?”
The girl at the next table remembered what had happened and blushed.
“Your uncle is the head of human resources in our company. He’s a poor kid. If he really gets together with you, he’ll have a way in the company in the future. He’ll definitely be promoted and get a raise faster than others.”
The chubby girl saw the other party’s hesitation and said, “You’re beautiful, highly educated, and have connections in the company. What’s there to hesitate about? If you asked him out, he would definitely agree.”
The girl at the next table covered her face and whispered, “Then I’ll find an opportunity to ask him out another day.”
Naturally, Qin Mucheng did not know he was being talked about by the people in the company. They even said that he was a poor kid.
He drove the car and was rushed to the First Hospital.
When he found Ji Yuanyuan, his heart ached.
At this moment, Ji Yuanyuan was sitting on a chair, looking up blankly.
She wrapped her arms around herself, looking extremely helpless.
Qin Mucheng hurried forward.
When Ji Yuanyuan saw Qin Mucheng coming over, she got up and hugged him.
Qin Mucheng reached out and hugged her tightly. He comforted her in a low voice, “It’s okay. Uncle will be fine.”
Ji Yuanyuan was curled up in Qin Mucheng’s arms and her body was trembling..
