Chapter 625: Chapter 0626: The Most Worrisome Thing

Throughout the day, Xia Jing was in a bad mood.

First, she encountered robbers at the Industrial and Commercial Bank. Although she was unharmed in the end, it was Ye Qiu’s words that chilled her heart instantly, making her feel as if she had fallen into an abyss rather than having survived an ordeal.

And when she was diagnosed with breast cancer at Jinling Hospital after undergoing a doctor’s consultation and examination, it was a thunderbolt out of a clear sky for Xia Jing, something she couldn’t accept.

All along, Xia Jing felt she had never done anything bad. She treated people well and, in fact, had done many good deeds.

For her, the grand prize in that charity event was perhaps just an advertising promotion and personal honor to others, but Xia Jing truly wished to help others.

Unexpectedly, she now found herself facing such a situation.

Why did God have to treat her this way?

"Boss, you should eat something first."

At lunchtime, Xiao Fen went out to get Xia Jing a meal, but Xia Jing had no appetite and didn’t eat anything.

It was already evening, and Xia Jing had been hungry all day. When Xiao Fen brought her another meal, Xia Jing still had no appetite.

For some reason, Xia Jing suddenly felt she had been pretty much a failure.

She had no husband, no boyfriend, not even a trusted close friend. Her few close friends, like Xiaomei and the others, only wanted to go shopping with her so Xia Jing could pick up the tab.

So, when she was diagnosed with this illness, her first instinct was not to call Xiaomei or her other close friends. She didn’t dare call her parents, fearing they would worry.

She didn’t dare let anyone else know, afraid it would lead to negative news reports.

Because of her status, any exposure in front of others could result in negative publicity. Even if she did numerous good deeds, she feared it wouldn’t earn her recognition.

"Xiao Fen, you’ve been busy all day, you should go home now!"

Xia Jing said to her female secretary.

"Boss, what about you?"

"I’ll be fine here by myself!"

Xia Jing wanted to stay here quietly by herself.

Seeing her boss like that, Xiao Fen didn’t stay longer because her husband and kids were waiting for her at home for dinner.

For some reason, at that moment, she felt her boss Xia Jing, who was much wealthier, ought to be much happier.

After her secretary Xiao Fen left, Xia Jing sat quietly by the window alone in the private VIP room.

The white ceiling, white walls, white hospital bed, and the set of white hospital gowns, though Xia Jing hadn’t put them on yet.

Everything seemed to be white.

If tomorrow, she was indeed diagnosed with mid to late-stage breast cancer, she might have to stay hospitalized at Jinling Hospital for a while.

If it got worse, she might have to accept an unbearable truth: losing what she considered her most beautiful second life.

Many women, both domestic and overseas, who developed such breast cancer, refused to have their breasts removed out of vanity, leading to the spread of floating cancer cells through the blood and lymphatic systems, ultimately resulting in their untimely death.

Therefore, before the cancer cells could spread, the best and safest guarantee was to undergo a mastectomy, reducing the mortality rate.

As for chemotherapy or radiation therapy, while they could preserve the second life, they always carried significant risks. The cancer cells might not be eliminated and could potentially recur.

In the past, Xia Jing had learned about this kind of information.

So, hearing such news today was undoubtedly a thunderbolt out of a clear sky for her.

...

When Ye Qiu drove to the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant for lunch, he found it still very crowded. Even though they were now offering a fifty-percent discount, the prices were still much higher compared to other eateries outside or even other branches of the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant.

But the food here was delicious. Many customers came back for the second time after trying it once. Wealthy people didn’t mind spending two to three thousand yuan on a meal.

After arriving at the restaurant, Ye Qiu entered and saw Ye Weidong occasionally moving around. In Ye Qiu’s view, there was no need for Ye Weidong to work so hard.

The cooks, back-end service staff, and front desk staff should just do their jobs. There was no need for Ye Weidong to supervise them twenty-four hours a day.

Moreover, constantly watching them might make the female staff and chefs feel that Ye Weidong, their boss, didn’t trust them.

Ye Qiu knew that was just the personality of people from Ye Weidong’s generation and it wouldn’t change easily over time, so he didn’t say much. When he got there, he went to Ye Xue’s office, where Ye Xue and Liu Lingxiu were sorting out the accounts. Their work was obviously much easier compared to Ye Weidong and Chen Fang, who were busy upstairs and downstairs, looking more like service staff themselves.

"Ye Qiu, you’re here?"

The incident of the bank robbery in the morning was probably already on the TV news, but the two women here hadn’t been paying attention, so they didn’t know where Ye Qiu had been earlier. Seeing him come in, Ye Xue, knowing he hadn’t had lunch yet, asked, "What do you want to eat? I’ll ask the chef to make you something."

"Have you eaten?"

"Yes, we already have."

Ye Xue replied.

"Then just make me a couple of dishes."

When Ye Xue went downstairs, the office was left with just Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu.

"Lingshow, I’ve picked out a few apartments with elevators for your parents. In a few days, I’ll take them to have a look."

Ye Qiu said.

He knew that Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong had been living in the villa for a long time and probably didn’t want to stay there anymore. They wanted to move out as soon as possible.

Therefore, he planned to let Liu Daqing and his wife stay at the villa for a few more days before moving out. As for Liu Lingxiu, she could live anywhere she liked.

"Sure, I’ll go take a look too."

Liu Lingxiu replied.

However, she was curious as to why Liu Xia and Xiao Hong were living with Ye Qiu.

After all, she was Ye Qiu’s girlfriend, and she was always a bit wary of other females, especially beautiful ones, appearing around Ye Qiu.

"Liu Xia and Xiao Hong have already moved out this morning!"

"Why did they move out?"

"Who knows!"

Liu Lingxiu felt a sense of relief.

After Ye Xue asked the chef to make a couple of dishes for Ye Qiu, he ate in the office. In the afternoon, he wanted to go back to the villa with Liu Lingxiu and Ye Xue, but the two women didn’t feel like going home yet.

Ye Qiu had to go back alone.
