83: Chapter 83: Lung Cancer 83: Chapter 83: Lung Cancer When Ye Qiu returned to the congee and noodles shop, it was already past eleven at night. He saw Ye Weidong still busy making barbecue for customers, Chen Fang helping on the side, and his sister Ye Xue cooking noodles and rice noodles in the shop. Seeing Ye Qiu come back, Ye Xue said, “Ye Qiu, come over here, sister will make a bowl of beef noodles for you to eat.” When Ye Qiu was about to put on an apron to help, Ye Xue and Chen Fang told him to finish the bowl of beef noodles and go rest early. Now the two already knew about Ye Qiu’s expulsion from school, and naturally, they were not worried at all. “Mom, sis, the school revoked the severe punishment and expulsion notice, but I don’t want to go back so soon.” Ye Xue and Chen Fang were even more surprised when they heard this. They knew that Ye Qiu had just been expelled from school yesterday, but they didn’t expect the school to revoke the expulsion notice now. What was going on? They couldn’t figure it out, but they knew that as long as it didn’t affect Ye Qiu’s normal college entrance exam, it would be fine. “That’s good, mom is relieved.” Chen Fang said. After Ye Qiu finished the bowl of beef noodles, he could only go back to the old neighborhood because his sister wouldn’t let him stay to help. As he returned to the old neighborhood, went upstairs, took a bath, and returned to his room to continue practicing the “Primordial Five Emperors Technique,” by the time he opened his eyes, it was already past seven in the morning. Ye Qiu felt that the True Qi in his body had increased a lot, mainly by absorbing the spiritual energy of the sun and moon these days, converting it into True Qi, and storing it in the Dantian. However, it was not the time to break through yet. He got up, dressed, went to the living room, and saw that his parents and sister had already gone back to the shop to work at some point. After washing up, Ye Qiu went straight to the congee and noodles shop. It was early morning, and many young people were having congee or noodles on their way to work. When they saw Ye Qiu coming, Ye Xue made him a bowl of noodles. “Are you going to school today?” Ye Xue looked at Ye Qiu and asked. “Sis, I still have to take Liu Lingxiu.” “Sigh! You’ve forgotten your sister now that you have Liu Lingxiu.” Ye Xue seemed a bit unhappy as she spoke. She had wanted Ye Qiu to spend some time with her as he didn’t need to go to school now, even if he didn’t have to help. Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu still had to take Liu Lingxiu. “Sis, how could I?” After finishing the bowl of noodles, Ye Qiu quickly rode his bike to Liu Lingxiu’s house. Sure enough, he saw Liu Lingxiu waiting at the door. … Jinling Hospital. In a high-class ward, an elderly man, nearly sixty years old, lay on the bed. His body was emaciated, his eye sockets sunken, looking like empty holes, his face devoid of any color, extremely terrifying. This elderly man was Zhou Bao, the founder of the Zhou Dabao Jewelry chain in the country and the chairman of the group company. He started from scratch, and now the jewelry chain’s market value exceeded one hundred billion. However, six months ago, Zhou Bao discovered his body felt uncomfortable. After a full-body examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with mid-stage lung cancer. Zhou Bao immediately went to a major hospital abroad for treatment, but the treatment effects were not significant. When he was sent to Jinling Hospital for treatment, the hospital had already issued a critical condition notice to Zhou Bao’s family, stating that he could pass away at any time. Jinling Hospital’s main internal medicine and pulmonology doctors had a meeting. After discussing, they found no effective way to alleviate Zhou Bao’s condition. Moreover, Zhou Bao had undergone surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and various medications. Besides the spread of lung cancer cells, other diseases had been triggered. Given Zhou Bao’s current condition, he might not last two days. So, after the meeting, Jinling Hospital’s main doctors decided to issue a critical condition notice to Zhou Bao’s family to prepare them in advance mentally. Zhou Bao started from scratch. Besides getting married young and having four daughters, with four son-in-laws joining the family, he divorced and married a young secretary when he was forty. His second wife gave him four sons and two daughters. One of his daughters was just five years old now. In Zhou Bao’s family, his sons and daughters were numerous, and the Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group had thousands of jewelry chain stores nationwide. Although the group company was handed over to his two eldest daughters and the company’s professional managers for management, if the company suddenly lost him, its operations would be greatly affected. Of course, within the Zhou family, some hoped he would leave early, while others hoped for his recovery. However, given his current illness, the Zhou family saw little chance of Zhou Bao surviving. “Director Zhou, is there really no way to treat my father?” In Zhou Peng’s office, Zhou Bao’s eldest daughter, Zhou Yuxia, and his second daughter, Zhou Lili, were both in his office inquiring about their father’s condition. Although Zhou Bao had remarried his second wife because he felt he had no sons and had developed feelings for his secretary after long-term interactions, he still loved his four daughters from his first wife. Now, the eldest daughter, Zhou Yuxia, was nearly forty, serving as the acting president and CEO of Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group. The second daughter, Zhou Lili, was the general manager and CFO of the company. Most of the major affairs of the group company were handed over to these two after Zhou Bao fell ill and went to the United States for treatment. But the two daughters still hoped to cure their father’s illness and return the company to his management. Otherwise, given the group’s current situation, it could be said to have internal and external troubles. Especially with so many people in the Zhou family, once their father Zhou Bao left this world, it might lead to a fight over inheritance. Inside the company, there were still old employees causing trouble, and the competition pressure from other jewelry stores outside was even greater. “Ms. Zhou, Ms. Zhou, our hospital has done its best. You are well aware of your father’s condition. From the moment it was diagnosed as mid-stage, and after six months of treatment, even the most advanced Western medicine treatment in the United States showed no effect. Your father requested to return to Jinling Hospital mainly to spend his final days in the country.” Zhou Peng didn’t spell it out, but Zhou Yuxia and Zhou Lili knew that their father wanted to return home, as he had planned when his illness was first diagnosed. Of course, Zhou Bao didn’t give up on treatment and persisted, but in the end, it was to no avail. “Director Zhou, we understand.” Zhou Yuxia said helplessly. Zhou Yuxia knew that besides marrying his second wife, thus giving them a stepmother not much older than themselves, their father had done everything else perfectly. She never expected that her father would still be struck by illness.
