Chapter 366: Chapter 366 An Unlucky Event
Xi Jue is always at a disadvantage when it comes to Su He.
He has never won against him.
Whether it’s arguing or fighting, he has never won.
“Enough, let’s stop wasting time talking to him, let’s go home.”
Jiang Yan didn’t even bother to look at him.
Just then, the elevator arrived, and he draped his arm around Su He’s shoulders and they walked in together.
He treated Xi Jue like a streak of transparent air from start to finish.
Xi Jue watched their retreating figures and bit the inside of his cheeks with the tip of his tongue.
“Those two really seem to be living a happy life!”
Ah Wu: “…”
Master, what are you planning to do?
He really wanted to ask, but he dared not.
Furthermore, his condition had improved, but he just wouldn’t get discharged.
It’s unclear what he’s even thinking about in his head.
He truly couldn’t figure it out.
Then, Xi Jue instructed: “Go, find out what these two are doing at the hospital.”
“Oh, okay,” Ah Wu had no choice but to comply.
Hearing that, Xi Jue looked up at him skeptically: “Why do I feel like you’ve been more and more perfunctory towards me lately?”
Ah Wu shook his head and said, “No, how could I dare to be perfunctory towards you, Master?”
After sending him back to the ward, Ah Wu immediately left to gather information.
In less than half an hour, he was back, after all, money makes the world go round.
In this world, there’s nothing that can’t be solved with money.
Ah Wu reported: “Master, it’s Dr. Su’s father who is hospitalized.”
Xi Jue asked: “What’s the reason?”
Ah Wu hesitated: “I really couldn’t find out the specifics, the hospital is very confidential about the patient’s condition.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the man gave him a cold look.
Ah Wu immediately added: “But I heard it’s quite serious.”
“Heard?” Xi Jue narrowed his eyes as he looked at him.
Ah Wu nodded and grunted.
“Useless!”
The man cursed.
Ah Wu pursed his lips and did not speak again.
The next morning, Su He arranged for a well-known oncology professor to consult for An Chengyuan.
Treatment of lung tumors is not her area of expertise.
She could only turn to experts in this field.
And the final consultation result was almost what Su He expected; they could only opt for conservative radical treatment.
This so-called conservative radical treatment means using chemotherapy and radiation therapy to control the tumor’s growth and metastasis rate.
But, chemotherapy and radiation therapy are the most harmful to the body.
“Susu, this surgery, I’m afraid even if you perform it, it might not necessarily succeed,” He Jianxin said.
He Jianxin is an expert in oncology, highly respected. He has been in the medical field for thirty years and is fifty-two this year.
He was also a student of Old Mr. Su, and he knew how skilled Su He was in surgical operations.
“The location of this tumor in your father’s body is basically unsolvable. Although we are currently conducting research on cancer cells and have many methods to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, your father’s symptoms can only be managed through conservative radical treatment, which might allow him a longer survival time. If you choose surgical removal, the first concern is it could cause massive bleeding. Whether he can withstand the process is also questionable.”
He said all this, and Su He understood.
She had thought about removing it surgically after returning home last night, but she had simulated it several times on her computer, all ending in failure.
He Jianxin said, “As long as there is a target, targeted drugs can be used, and we have a good range of targeted drugs domestically, you don’t need to worry about that, let me handle this matter.”
Su He said, “Alright, then I will trouble Uncle He with this matter.”
That afternoon, An Rui and An Mi took leave from school and rushed to the hospital.
Upon seeing them, An Chengyuan helplessly looked at Su He.
Su He knew what he wanted to say: “There’s no need to hide this kind of thing, they are not children anymore, they have the right to know.”
An Mi walked to the bedside, her eyes slightly red.
It was only last week we saw him, yet it’s only been a few days since, Father seems to have suddenly aged a lot.
An Mi said, “Dad, everything sis said is right, we’re not kids anymore.”
An Chengyuan: “It’s just that I worry about it affecting your studies, and I really don’t have anything serious. Like your sister said, as long as I cooperate with the treatment, there shouldn’t be a big problem.”
An Mi fought the urge to cry; she didn’t want her sadness to affect her father’s optimistic attitude.
“Dad, An Rui and I are already in our second year of university, you don’t need to worry about our studies, we can handle that ourselves.”
An Mi decided that for every future chemotherapy session, she would accompany him to the hospital.
In the past, when Father wasn’t sick, she felt many things could be neglected, but now she was scared. She feared the day might suddenly come when Father wouldn’t be there anymore.
All she wanted was to spend as much time as possible with him.
“Dad, don’t worry too much about the company, isn’t Uncle still there?” An Mi said.
An Chengyuan held her hand and patted the back of her hand, “Okay, Dad understands.”
An Rui stood by silently watching, not saying anything; he usually speaks little, primarily because he didn’t know what to say.
Possibly, between father and son, there’s inexplicably a strange kind of force.
“Sis, when is Dad starting his treatment?” He looked toward Su He and asked.
Su He hummed in response, “After the genetic testing results are out and the target is identified, we can start the medication.”
Since An Rui doesn’t understand medical matters, he asked again, “Sis, if he doesn’t undergo surgery, will these drugs harm his body?”
“Yes,” Su He said, “Everyone’s body reacts differently, some may be more severe, some might be lighter, all medicines have a level of toxicity and will have side effects.”
“What kind of side effects are there?”
“Vomiting, hair loss, loss of appetite, including liver damage, etc.”
This is a long, painful, and agonizing process.
But there is no other choice, this is the only option we have for now.
Upon hearing this, An Rui ceased to speak any further.
The hospital had someone to care for him, so Su He did not stay long.
An Rui and An Mi stayed at the hospital for half a day before being sent back to school by An Chengyuan.
He didn’t need anyone to keep him company now, having them stay would just be wasting their time.
An Mi said, “Dad, then you must listen to the doctor’s advice, I’ll come to accompany you whenever I’m free.”
An Chengyuan waved his hand, “Okay, Dad knows. Go back, and be careful on the road.”
He didn’t forget to instruct An Rui, “Take good care of your elder sister.”
An Rui: “Understood.”
Over the next few days, An Mi ran to the hospital every day.
The fact that An Chengyuan was sick was known only to the couple, Su He and Jiang Yan, and An Mi and An Rui, as well as their Uncle, An Chengming.
But that afternoon, just as An Mi had left the hospital, an uninvited guest arrived in the patient room.
An Chengyuan thought An Mi had forgotten something, so he said: “Mimi, why did you come back?”
But his frown deepened when he saw who it was.
It was not An Mi, but Lin Yue.
“What are you doing here? Get out!”
An Chengyuan’s voice was very cold.
Shortly after she divorced him, Lin Yue married another man.
Both were in their second marriages, and the man she married was a whole generation older than her.
He wasn’t so idle as to inquire about her, only hearing about it occasionally from a business partner during a social outing.
Lin Yue still dressed flamboyantly, ornate and extravagant.
Yet it could not hide the marks age had left on her.
Her face was clearly much more aged than during her time with the An Family, the wrinkles deeper and more numerous.
This was enough to suggest that her third marriage was not going well either.
She felt nothing towards An Chengyuan’s expulsion and coldness.
She walked straight in, found a chair, and sat down.
“Chengyuan, we were husband and wife once, without me, you wouldn’t have An Mi and An Rui.”
Lin Yue sat there, a smile playing on her lips.
“Though I’m not their biological mother, they were born through my womb, and I raised them for over a decade. Even if I have no merit, I’ve put in my hard work, right?”
Lin Yue never felt she owed anything to the An Family.
An Chengyuan scoffed coldly, “Lin Yue, you really don’t realize your mistakes. What you said, I don’t dispute. But you colluded with my mom and did such a thing, that was a big mistake!”
If those things hadn’t happened, Wanqiu might still be alive in this world.
Lin Yue sneered sarcastically: “What did I do wrong? I was just trying to get the person I love.”
Hearing her words, An Chengyuan felt disgusted.
He even felt that being liked by her was an unlucky thing.
From An Chengyuan’s eyes, Lin Yue saw disdain, contempt, and disgust.
This man, truly never loved her, never liked her even for a day.
The decade and more she had been married to him was no different from living in widowhood.
“An Chengyuan, where do I fall short compared to Su Wanqiu?”
This question had always troubled her.
She could never find the answer.
An Chengyuan glanced at her indifferently: “There’s no comparing you two, and you will never be her.”
Lin Yue’s heart still stung a little.
But she had come to terms with it, after all, what she couldn’t get, neither did Su Wanqiu.
At least she was still alive, and that woman was already dead.
She sneered sarcastically with a bit of sharp bitterness: “An Chengyuan, you are now plagued with illness, this is the retribution for your years of neglect towards me!”
An Chengyuan was speechless.
He truly thought she was mentally ill.
“Are you done? If done, then leave quickly!”
She was simply polluting the air here.
Lin Yue disagreed, “Why are you in such a rush to send me away? We were husband and wife after all, can’t we talk nicely?”
She was doing it on purpose, she knew An Chengyuan didn’t want to see her.
But she just wanted to disgust him!
If he was uncomfortable, she was happy.
An Chengyuan said sternly: “Lin Yue, I have nothing to talk about with you!”
Suddenly, Lin Yue stood up and walked towards him.
An Chengyuan had no idea what she really intended to do.
But, according to her character, it definitely wasn’t just to talk about some boring things here.
Plus, her outfit was really revealing!
In the moment she got close, An Chengyuan rapidly got up from the bed.
The next second, he incredulously widened his eyes.
Was this woman crazy?
Lin Yue suddenly stripped off her clothes, revealing her upper body.
“Lin Yue, if you want to act promiscuous, go back to your husband’s house!”
An Chengyuan never expected, she could be so shameless!
To actually in front of him…
It was disgusting!
It was like swallowing a fly, utterly nauseating!
He averted his eyes and didn’t look at her.
He felt it was dirty!
But Lin Yue said: “An Chengyuan, to be honest, I’ve been married three times, and still, it’s your looks that attract me the most.”
An Chengyuan’s face turned terribly dark!
“My biggest regret in this life is not having the reality of husband and wife with you.”
Lin Yue stared at him, her gaze intense, the meaning in her eyes unmistakable.
Unfortunately, An Chengyuan didn’t see it.
Having said this, she directly pounced towards him.
Fortunately, An Chengyuan was still agile enough to dodge.
He was nothing but shocked and furious.
“Lin Yue, you’ve gone mad!”
“Yes, I have gone mad!”
An Chengyuan didn’t bother with her anymore and turned to walk towards the door.
Lin Yue hurriedly chased after him, then quickly stepped in front of him, blocked the door, and conveniently locked it from the inside.
An Chengyuan furrowed his brows, just as he was about to step forward and pull her away, she suddenly smiled in a somewhat eerie manner.
“What do you think, If I were to go out looking like this and say you harassed me, raped me, the reputation of An Group’s CEO would probably be completely destroyed, right?” she said.
It was then that An Chengyuan noticed those ambiguous marks all over her skin.
They were marks that had clearly just been made.
This woman had come prepared.
His expression grew stern, and the chill between his brows became even more terrifying.
At this moment, An Chengyuan finally understood Lin Yue’s purpose today.
Truth be told, seeing An Chengyuan still made Lin Yue feel like her heart was fluttering chaotically.
This man, as he aged, became increasingly charming.
Most importantly, he wasn’t like those other disgusting men who were pot-bellied with male-pattern baldness, which was simply nauseating to look at.
But this man in front of her had maintained himself very well and was in great shape, almost no different from when he was younger.
She knew that An Chengyuan had always had a habit of exercising.
“What exactly do you want?” he asked bluntly.
Lin Yue: “What if I said that I want you to remarry me?”
An Chengyuan, with a frown: “Are you sick?”
“Lin Yue, setting aside whether I would remarry you, you are currently still in a married state. I think you’re not just delusional, but downright daydreaming!”
As soon as his words fell, Lin Yue tore her skirt at the lower half of her body, and then messed up her hair, making herself look like she had actually been forced by someone.
Looking at him, Lin Yue said, “Then you shouldn’t blame me.”
An Chengyuan: “…”
After Lin Yue finished speaking, she turned around, opened the door, and as she was about to step out, her mouth just opening to shout—
Suddenly a hand covered her mouth from the side.
Then a strong force pushed her whole body back inside.
“Bang!”
A loud noise as the door was shut again.
As for Lin Yue, she fell to the ground completely.
Pain contorted her face.
She didn’t even see clearly who had pushed her.
When she raised her head, she saw Su He standing in front of her with a cold expression.
Instantly, a surge of fear struck, sending shivers down her spine and chilling her to the bone.
How could she be here?
She had clearly investigated beforehand; these past few days, Su He would only be here in the mornings, she generally wouldn’t come to the hospital in the afternoon.
Su He’s gaze was fixed on her intently.
Her eyes were filled with a coldness, “Lin Yue, you have really surprised me!”
The words she had just said were heard clearly by her at the door.
Su He had not planned on coming to the hospital, but she had received a call from He Jianxin, the genetic testing results were out, targets were identified, and the medication could be matched this afternoon, so she rushed over.
But to her surprise, as soon as she arrived she encountered such a drama.
Su He’s cold gaze swept over her disheveled body.
When Lin Yue met her gaze, she hurriedly pulled her clothes together.
Su He stepped forward, half-kneeling down to meet her eye-level.
Lin Yue, like a frightened bird, shrank back.
“Why are you afraid of me now?”
Su He slightly hooked her lips, “Weren’t you quite tough just now?”
Lin Yue was genuinely afraid of her; she had witnessed Su He’s skills and knew she was not someone who showed mercy.
She swallowed nervously, wanting to speak, but the oppressive aura emanating from Su He made it impossible for her to utter a word.
Su He reached out and lifted her torn skirt with one finger.
“Ms. Lin, the quality of this dress is pretty poor, isn’t it? It seems you are really short on money lately!”
“Are you planning to extort money from the An Family? The Liu Family can’t support you, hmm?”
Su He’s tone was light, but every word, cold as frost.
As it entered Lin Yue’s ears, it made her shiver uncontrollably.
