City's Best Divine Doctor

Chapter 2077: Chapter 2037: Giving Face to No One

As he placed the two cans of tea in the car, Li Qianqian kept smiling at him.

"If my parents find out about us and force us to do something, what will you do?" Li Qianqian asked. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"Force us to do what? Marry us? We haven’t even graduated from college yet, we’re still young, not at the legal age for marriage."

Li Qianqian thought for a moment and realized it was true; Ye Qiu was only twenty years old in nominal age, still far from the legal marriage age. Compared to Ye Qiu, she was actually one or two years older.

When they drove up to the Rose Flower Villa Community and parked the car in front of the villa where Li Qianqian’s parents lived, they got out of the car together.

Upon entering, Ye Qiu saw Lu Xiuyu already wearing an apron, making lunch.

Normally, Li Zhiguo and Lu Xiuyu ate working meals at the city government, which were quite abundant, so there wasn’t a need to come home and cook.

The couple came home this time because they had invited Ye Qiu over; however, Lu Xiuyu couldn’t understand why Li Zhiguo would invite Ye Qiu for lunch.

"Mom, what dishes are you making?"

"Ye Qiu, you’re here, have a seat, your uncle is upstairs."

As Ye Qiu sat down, Li Qianqian went over to help.

Last semester, Li Qianqian had been learning to cook with her mother and could prepare several home-cooked dishes.

By around noon, Lu Xiuyu finished preparing lunch, which was also a kind of home-cooked meal, delicately made.

When they called Li Zhiguo down to eat, Ye Qiu didn’t think much of it and rather treated it as if he were at home.

After they finished lunch, Li Zhiguo looked at Ye Qiu and asked, "Ye Qiu, Vice Mayor Zhu has come to see me twice."

"Uncle Li, what does he want with you?"

"The first time was a visit, mainly a private visit from a new official. The second time he asked me to get you to treat his son."

"Are you talking about his son with lung cancer? Such a scumbag would be better off dead sooner."

Ye Qiu said directly.

Li Zhiguo was speechless for a moment.

He wasn’t sure about Zhu Yunhui’s character, but he had heard that after meeting Li Qianqian once, he had been pestering her at Jin University, which Li Zhiguo wasn’t happy about either.

However, he didn’t say much about it.

Unexpectedly, he developed lung cancer. It was in the mid to late stages.

"Ye Qiu, are you not planning to treat him?"

"Uncle Li, someone like Zhu Yunhui, I knew at first glance he wasn’t a good person. I could definitely cure his disease, but curing it would only cause harm to others. So, do you think I should save such a scumbag?"

This time, Li Zhiguo didn’t know what to say.

"Then forget I mentioned it."

However, Ye Qiu said, "Uncle Li, scumbags have their own purposes in life. I want to make him suffer from the illness first, and then treat him. But you can tell Vice Mayor Zhu, I won’t treat him now."

Again, Li Zhiguo was confused by Ye Qiu’s meaning.

Was Ye Qiu willing to treat him or not?

It seemed like he was willing to treat him, but not willing to treat him now.

Having understood that, Li Zhiguo already knew.

Ye Qiu said something to Lu Xiuyu and then prepared to take Li Qianqian back to campus.

After they left, Li Qianqian realized that inviting Ye Qiu over for lunch wasn’t because of her closeness with him. It seemed her parents hadn’t discovered anything.

Upon getting in the car, Li Qianqian seemed relieved, looking at Ye Qiu while biting her lip.

"Qianqian, what do you want to do?"

"Nothing, you’re just a heartless guy who made me worry for nothing."

Heartless?

"What do you mean by heartless?"

Ye Qiu didn’t know what Li Qianqian was talking about.

As Ye Qiu drove towards the Jin University Campus, they arrived at the male dormitory building. After Li Qianqian returned to continue her classes, Ye Qiu didn’t stay.

Instead, he drove back to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

Li Zhiguo and his wife returned to the city government building for work and had a secretary inform Vice Mayor Zhu that Ye Qiu didn’t listen to him.

When Vice Mayor Zhu heard this from Secretary Zhang, he was very surprised that this Ye Qiu wouldn’t even listen to Li Zhiguo.

So, does that mean asking anyone is useless?

What to do now?

Was he just going to watch his only son die?

Vice Mayor Zhu suddenly felt more distressed.

He picked up the desk phone to call his wife and said, "I just heard from Li Zhiguo that Ye Qiu isn’t listening to him."

"So does that mean he wants our son to just die?"

"You should let the hospital treat Zhu Yunhui."

Treat?

Doesn’t that mean chemotherapy and radiotherapy?

Even though no one officially told Zhu Yunhui he had advanced lung cancer, from his condition and the people visiting him, Zhu Yunhui already knew his situation wasn’t optimistic.

Upon learning that he actually had mid to late-stage lung cancer, Zhu Yunhui suddenly felt like dying.

However, he didn’t want to die. He was still young, with many years ahead, having been born into such a good family. He wanted to enjoy the world’s beauties and wealth.

He didn’t want to die.

"Mom, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!"

Whether it was severe bad breath, body odor, or hair loss, Zhu Yunhui found them unimportant now. What he wanted to do most now was not to die.

He wanted to keep living.

He felt a strong desire to survive!

But now, late-stage lung cancer seemed like a terminal illness, fearing he wouldn’t live much longer.

Seeing her son’s expression, Zhu Yunhui’s mother said, "Son, don’t worry, I’ll do my best to have the doctors treat you."

After leaving his ward, she saw other doctors. This situation wasn’t just about painkillers anymore; because cancer cells were spreading, particularly to the bones, causing immense pain, the only way to control it was with painkillers.

Besides, the usual treatment was medication, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Because they had waited for Ye Qiu to treat him, the hospital’s doctors hadn’t started conventional treatment yet.

Now, it seemed they couldn’t wait any longer. Zhu Yunhui’s mother knew she could only try to persuade Ye Qiu to treat her son while starting conventional drug treatment.

"Madam Zhu, are you sure you want to proceed with conventional drug treatment for Young Master Zhu?" Dean Zhou asked.

"I have no other choice. My husband just said that Ye Qiu doesn’t give face to anyone, not even Li Mayor’s request works with Ye Qiu."

If that’s the case, Zhou Peng knew that seeking Ye Qiu for treatment was pointless.

"Alright then, I’ll gather the doctors now and ensure Young Master Zhu begins his first phase of radiotherapy or chemotherapy as soon as possible."
