Translator: 549690339

Lin xiaofen decided to have surgery because she still had to wait until her vision recovered to take care of Anran’s child.

Because he knew that Anran was worried about the risks of the operation, su Yicheng promised her that he would use his connections to contact experts in the United States to ensure that the risks of the operation were minimized.

Gu Hengwen had adjusted his class, but because he was teaching the third-year students, he was directly facing the problem of the college entrance examination. After the adjustment, he had several classes in a day without rest. In addition, he had been taking care of Lin xiaofen in the hospital for the past few days. Under such a heavy load, Gu Hengwen’s body couldn’t take it. When he stood on the podium in class, his entire body was dizzy and he almost fell on the podium. The students were worried and directly sent him to the hospital. The doctor said it was fatigue. In addition, he also reminded him that at his age, his physique was not as good as it was in the past, so he should pay more attention to rest.

After Lin xiaofen found out, she refused to let him transfer classes to increase her burden. In addition, she didn’t allow him to come to the hospital after lunch. Gu Hengwen protested, but his objection was overruled. In the end, under Lin xiaofen’s insistence, Gu Hengwen came to the hospital every night after work to accompany Lin xiaofen.

Anran, on the other hand, had to come over every day, but since she was pregnant, there were many things that were inconvenient for her. Su Yicheng had directly transferred Auntie Zhang over to take care of her. In addition, Qin Yun had also come over a few times, bringing her tonics and the soup that she had personally made. She comforted her to relax and not think too much. In the future, she would still need to help take care of one of the two grandchildren.

Although Lin xiaofen and Qin Yun hadn’t really met each other a few times, they felt like old friends at first sight. There were always endless things to say when they met. Lin xiaofen seemed to be in a particularly good mood when the two of them talked and laughed. When she was in a good mood, her complexion looked good, and her face didn’t look sickly anymore. She didn’t look like a patient at all.

Anran still had to come to the hospital every day, but because she was pregnant, Lin xiaofen strictly controlled her time and didn’t allow her to stay in the hospital for too long. Although Anran wanted to spend more time with her mother, because of the child in her stomach, she could only follow the arrangement. She came in the afternoon every day, then stayed in the hospital for one or two hours to talk to her mother. Then, in the evening, su Yicheng would come to pick her up and take her home.

Su Yicheng’s punishment hadn’t been officially announced yet, but due to the urgency of the technology City case, in addition to the recent big shock in the municipal Party Committee, many things still had to be temporarily taken care of by su Yicheng. However, in view of the scandal with the nude photos sect, as well as the matter with Ling Chuanjiang and Tong Wenhai, the Provincial Party Committee had assigned someone else to handle the construction of Technology City in order to prevent some people from monopolizing the power. This way, su Yicheng had taken over half of the work in his hands. In the eyes of outsiders, he had been stripped of his power, but su Yicheng himself was quite satisfied. This way, his workload was reduced by more than half, so he could take out more time and energy every day to accompany Anran and the child.

After dealing with the work at hand, su Yicheng directly left his office and drove to the hospital. He didn’t go to Lin xiaofen’s ward first, but went directly to Lin xiaofen’s attending doctor’s office. When he arrived, Doctor Zhang still had a patient, so he didn’t disturb him. He nodded at Doctor Zhang, then backed out and stood at the door to wait.

A few minutes later, when the patient’s family member came out of the office, su Yicheng pushed the door open and went in. Doctor Zhang nodded at him and asked him to sit down on the chair in front of his desk. Recently, he had gotten used to su Yicheng coming to the hospital to ask him about Lin xiaofen’s condition. At first, he felt a little uncomfortable and uneasy. After all, his identity did indeed make people feel a little pressured, but as he came more and more, he got used to it.

“It’s really stressful for Mayor su to come here so often.” Doctor Zhang said jokingly.

“Director Zhang, just treat me as a normal family member of a patient.” Su Yicheng simply said indifferently, ” I’m just here to ask about my mother-in-law’s condition. &Quot;

Doctor Zhang smiled and nodded. As he took out Lin xiaofen’s medical records from the document column, he casually said, ” &Quot; yes, those who don’t know better would think that the patient is Mayor SU’s mother. &Quot;

......

“She is my mother.” Su Yicheng said with a serious expression.

Doctor Zhang was taken aback. He immediately felt that he had misspoken, so he could only force a smile and say, “Yes, yes, yes, look at me, I’m getting old and I don’t know how to speak anymore.” She suddenly recalled the ‘mayor’s nude photo incident’ that had been widely circulated on the internet and newspapers. Many netizens had expressed their doubts about the police’s conclusion, saying that they were just using official statements in order to protect su Yicheng’s image, and that the specific details had yet to be investigated. However, at this moment, he felt that the so-called ‘official statement’ might be the whole story. How could a man who treated his mother-in-law as his biological parents and loved his wife so much that he couldn’t bear to see his wife cry really do something behind his wife’s back that would let his wife and family down?

After flipping through Lin xiaofen’s medical records, Doctor Zhang spoke from his professional point of view, ” ” When I did the power test on her this morning, I found that her vision had obviously deteriorated. This means that the tumor in her brain has already pressed on her optic nerve. The operation should be imminent. ”

Su Yicheng furrowed his brows and asked,”have you contacted the hospital in America?”

Doctor Zhang nodded and said, ” yes, I received an email last night. I’ve already asked the people over there to arrange the hospital beds and consultation hours for the specialists. As expected, if everything is ready on your side, you can leave at any time this week. I can also send the medical records over here. &Quot;

&Quot; alright, I’ll have to trouble director Zhang to make the arrangements. I’ll let my mother-in-law know today. &Quot; Su Yicheng stood up and said politely.

“I should.” Director Zhang nodded and stood up to see him out.

When he arrived at su Yicheng and Lin xiaofen’s ward, Anran was sitting in front of the bed and happily talking and laughing with Lin xiaofen. She didn’t even notice him when he pushed the door open and entered.

“Anran, turn on the lights.” Suddenly, Lin xiaofen, who was lying on the hospital bed, smiled and said to Anran.

Anran froze and turned to look out the window. It wasn’t dark yet, and the sun hadn’t set yet, so it was still bright outside. She looked at her mother in a daze and asked, ” “Mom, are you alright?”

Lin xiaofen was taken aback by the question. She subconsciously reached out to touch her face and said, ” &Quot; What do you mean what’s wrong? is there something on my face? ”

“No, no, you said to turn on the lights.” The panic in her heart was a little exaggerated, and an ran’s big eyes stared at her mother.

“When it’s dark, you’ll have to turn on the lights.” Lin xiaofen didn’t mind. She suddenly thought of something and asked, ” “By the way, is ah Zhen very busy today? why hasn’t she come over yet?”

&Quot; mom! &Quot; Anran wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by su Yicheng, who came in at that moment.

“An ran.” Su Yicheng spoke and gave her a look, indicating that she should not speak. Then, he turned his head to look at Lin xiaofen on the bed and said, ” “Yeah, I was a little busy in the office today, so I came late.” “Mom, how do you feel today? do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” she asked.

“No, no, I’m fine. I can even be discharged now. You’re just too nervous.” She followed the sound and looked in su Yicheng’s direction, but she could only roughly see su Yicheng’s position, and it was very blurry. She sighed in her heart and knew that her vision was getting worse and worse. When she did the vision test in the morning, she almost couldn’t see anything that Doctor Zhang had pointed out to her, and she had to rely on her own wild guesses.

Anran looked at her mother with wide eyes, then turned her head to look at su Yicheng, who was standing next to her. Su Yicheng knew the panic in her heart, so he only reached out to Pat her hand.

Perhaps she was afraid that they would see through her, so Lin xiaofen smiled and chased them away. She said, ” &Quot; you guys should go back quickly. Anran is pregnant, so don’t stay in the hospital all the time. There are many germs here. &Quot;

Anran tried her best to make her voice sound normal. She smiled and said, ” “I just want to spend more time with you.”

“I’m not a child, I don’t need you to accompany me.” Lin xiaofen said unhappily, ” Anran, you’re going to be a mother in the future. You have to think more about your child. From tomorrow onwards, don’t come to the hospital. &Quot;

&Quot; mom ... &Quot; Anran dragged out the last syllable to protest.

“There’s no room for discussion.” Lin xiaofen said with a firm attitude.

Anran still wanted to say something, but su Yicheng raised his hand and interrupted her.

Su Yicheng walked up to Lin xiaofen and said, ” ” Mom, I went to director Zhang’s place when I just came. He said that he has contacted the hospitals and experts in the United States. We can go there directly after he has made the arrangements. ”

Without waiting for Lin xiaofen to answer, Anran looked at su Yicheng in surprise and asked, ” “Really?”

Su Yicheng smiled at her and nodded with certainty.

“That’s great. I’ll go over with mom.” Anran only wanted to remove the tumor in her mother’s head as soon as possible so that her mother could be healthy again. In the future, she could accompany her child when she was born and grow up with her child. She could also talk to her when she was troubled and confused.

After a long while, Lin xiaofen, who was lying on the bed, said, ” “Then, are you going abroad?”

“Yes.” Su Yicheng nodded. ” The specialists and hospitals are the best in the United States, ” he explained. ” They’re also the best in the world. ” Even open-head surgeries were risky, and he could only try his best to minimize the risk.

“Why don’t we just do it in China? why did you come all the way here?” Lin xiaofen said. Under the blanket that su Yicheng and Anran couldn’t see, her two hands clenched tightly.

“Mom, go abroad. The Americans are very experienced in this kind of surgery.” An ran stepped forward and put her hand on her blanket.

Lin xiaofen looked at Anran and tried very hard, but she couldn’t see Anran’s face clearly. “Let me think about it,” he said. It was because she knew that this kind of surgery was risky that she didn’t want to go abroad. If something really happened abroad, she would never be able to return to her roots.

Anran still wanted to persuade him, but su Yicheng shook his head and didn’t say anything in the end.

&Quot; Yes, Mom, you should think about it. There’s no rush. &Quot; Su Yicheng only said this.

Lin xiaofen nodded. Then, she raised her head and forced a smile as she looked at them and said, ” Alright, alright. You guys can go back now. If you don’t go back now, it’ll really be too late. &Quot;

Su Yicheng nodded. &Quot; okay. &Quot;

He held Anran’s hand and walked out of the ward. When they reached the elevator, Anran turned to look at him and asked, ” “Has mom’s condition worsened?” It was clearly daytime, but she said she wanted to turn on the lights. It could be imagined how bad her mother’s vision was.

Su Yicheng didn’t hide it from her, because he knew that this matter couldn’t be hidden at all. He simply nodded and said, ” “Director Zhang said that mom’s condition can’t be delayed any longer. If it’s delayed any longer, she’ll really lose all her sight.”

Hearing this, an ran’s expression dimmed, and her face was full of worry.

Su Yicheng knew how worried and scared she was, so he opened his arms and pulled her into his arms, then lowered his head to kiss the center of her hair and said, ” “Alright, don’t worry. It’ll be fine.”

Anran glanced at him, pursed her lips, and nodded. &Quot; yes. &Quot;

As the two of them passed by the garden downstairs, su Yicheng’s cell phone suddenly rang at this time. It was a call from the police’s criminal investigation Captain, Captain Wu. Su Yicheng immediately answered the call. &Quot; Hello, Captain Wu? ”

Anran stopped in her tracks and waited for him to finish his call. Then, she turned her head to look at the flowers in the flower bed in the distance. Because of Lin xiaofen’s matter, she looked a little depressed at the moment.

“What!” She didn’t know what Captain Wu said on the other end of the phone, but su Yicheng’s expression changed drastically, and he couldn’t help but raise his voice.

Anran was a little frightened by him and turned to look at him worriedly.

Su Yicheng only smiled at her, but his brows were still tightly furrowed. He said into the phone, ” “I’m in the hospital.” Then, the person on the other end of the phone said something and hung up.

After he hung up, Anran asked worriedly, ” “What happened?”

Not wanting Anran to worry, su Yicheng shook his head and only said, ” &Quot; it’s fine, Anran. Why don’t you go back to see mom? I still have something to do here. I’ll pick you up after I’m done. &Quot;

Anran looked at him worriedly. &Quot; are you really okay? ” He didn’t look like he was fine.

Su Yicheng ruffled her hair. &Quot; I’m fine. &Quot;

Anran didn’t ask any more questions. She knew that he didn’t want her to worry, and she believed that he was really fine.

He sent her back to Lin xiaofen’s ward, but while waiting for the elevator, su Yicheng seemed to have seen something and nervously said to Anran, ” Anran, you go ahead first. I’ll come and pick you up later. &Quot; With that, she ran to the side of the corridor.

Anran stared blankly in the direction he ran off in, and her brows furrowed slightly. Although she believed that she could handle it, she still felt a little worried and scared for no reason.

The elevator arrived with a ding, and the two closed iron door slowly opened. When she saw the person standing inside, Anran was a little stunned, and the person inside was also a little surprised and surprised to see Anran outside.

Anran didn’t expect to run into Dong Xiaoxiao here. They hadn’t seen each other since the time she came to the ward to make a scene. It was a surprise to see her here today.

Tong Xiaojie, who was sitting opposite him, was also a little surprised. She was stunned for a while before stepping out of the elevator.

Anran looked away and was about to walk past her to enter the elevator, but she was stopped by her when she passed her.

“Wait a moment.” Tong Xiaojie called out to her. “Can we have a talk?”
