Mr. Zhang was imdiately furious, and his slightly drooping eyes lifted with anger: "Maintain to the best of your ability? Who can’t say nice words! Let be clear with you today, I do not agree with you and Zhang Xin’s relationship."
Qu Chaozong countered: "Why? If you an because of Zhang Xin’s past, and fear I won’t treat her well, you are completely overthinking. I love her, and naturally I will be good to her and accept all her shortcomings and faults."
Mr. Zhang sneered sarcastically: "Do I need to spell it out? Our family’s status, surely you understand well. Do you really think you are a match for Zhang Xin? To put it bluntly, isn’t being with Zhang Xin just your attempt to climb up? Yes, before her mother passed away, she left Zhang Xin an inheritance, and all her grandfather’s assets, as well as mine, will belong to her in the future. But this money is prepared for her own carefree living, not to support others."
Mr. Zhang said coldly, word by word: "Even if you truly want to be with her in the future, don’t expect to get a single penny!"
Qu Chaozong couldn’t hold back and cursed under his breath, a dark red color appeared between his eyebrows, he suddenly said: "Uncle, are you treating like this now because you are projecting your own experiences?"
Mr. Zhang suddenly fell silent, not speaking, he watched cautiously.
Qu Chaozong sneered, a mix of sarcasm and bitterness in his laughter: "I heard back in the day you were a poor boy who managed to rise through the ranks, and now you are viewing through your own experiences, is that really a good approach?"
When Qu Chaozong said this, his eyes reddened slightly with pain and embarrassnt: "No matter how bad things get for , I, Qu Chaozong, would never rely on a woman to climb up. I never rely on won to make a living, I am just not that type of person!"
Qu Chaozong stood up, not looking back as he walked towards the door. As he reached the doorway, he stopped and turned back to throw a cold remark at Mr. Zhang: "My love for Zhang Xin is my business, whether I love her as a person or love her conditions, I know it in my heart. I don’t need to prove it to you, after all, the one I plan on marrying is her, not you!"
Mr. Zhang’s expression had shifted: "What do you an! Explain it to clearly!"
"Uncle, rest assured, I am nothing like you. Even if we get married in the future, I won’t use a penny of Zhang Xin’s money. I’m a man, and I have the ability to support my own woman, providing her with a comfortable and happy life is my responsibility."
"I have always been firm in my decisions, once I make up my mind on sothing, it’s unlikely that I’ll turn back easily. So, despite what you’ve told today, it doesn’t have much impact on . I will continue to be with Zhang Xin, I will marry her, and I will treat her well. These are things I don’t need to prove to anyone, because I don’t care, and I don’t pay attention to other people’s opinions..."
Qu Chaozong’s eyes were resolute as he turned and left...
That night, Qu Chaozong left Zhang Xin’s grandfather’s house and walked straight towards the community’s main gate.
As he walked along the sidewalk, he took out a cigarette and lit it, taking a deep drag.
As he reached the community’s main gate, he had smoked about half his cigarette when his phone rang. It was Zhang Xin calling, Qu Chaozong glanced at the caller ID and casually hung up. He didn’t want to hear Zhang Xin’s voice right now, he just wanted to be alone quietly for a while.
After hanging up the call, he intended to turn off his phone, but accidentally dropped it while trying to shut it down. As he bent down to pick it up, the phone rang again. Just as he was about to hang up, a glance showed the call was from ho, so he hurriedly pressed the answer button: "Hello."
His mother’s anxious voice ca through the phone: "Chao, has anything happened to ii’s father, do you know?"
"What?" Qu Chaozong was startled and quickly asked: "What’s happened?"
Mrs. Qu said: "Yangyang just called and said ii’s dad was unwell, and asked Wenda and the others to help send him to the hospital. If you have no urgent matters, you should go too, it’s concerning."
"Alright, I’ll get in touch with them now."
After ending the call, Qu Chaozong imdiately called Shi Yang, and learned he was also on his way there, then he quickly called Zhao Wendada, and after confirming which hospital they were taking ii’s father to, he hurriedly took a taxi to the hospital to wait at the entrance.
As soon as he reached the hospital, Shi Yang arrived with Zhao ii.
Qu Chaozong quickly approached them and asked: "What happened?"
Shi Yang explained the situation, leaving Qu Chaozong unsure of the situation, so he turned to comfort Zhao ii: "ii, don’t worry, they should be arriving soon."
Zhao ii anxiously watched the side of the road, her eyes reddened with worry, following Shi Yang closely, clueless about what to do.
Shi Yang lowered his head to kiss her forehead gently: "Don’t worry about anything with here."
Zhao ii nodded, holding Shi Yang’s hand tightly, sweat in her palms.
Zhao Wendada and Wang Tianyu quickly drove over, Shi Yang rushed forward to open the back door, with everyone’s help, he carried Zhao Dazhuang on his back, rushing into the hospital.
The doctor on duty, after a brief inquiry, could almost confirm it was acute appendicitis. While arranging for a nurse to prepare for surgery, he used the ti to conduct a detailed examination.
Shi Yang asked: "How’s the situation?"
The doctor said: "It’s confird as acute appendicitis, and fortunately, you brought him in quickly. From the looks of it, it hasn’t perforated yet. I’m arranging surgery now, family mbers can proceed with the hospital admission process."
Liu Xiue visibly sighed in relief, turning to scold Zhao Dazhuang: "Did you hear that? Still stubbornly refusing to co to the hospital!" After finishing, she quickly grabbed a tissue to clean up the traces left on his lips after vomiting.
The surgery was very successful, and Zhao Dazhuang was still under the effects of anesthesia, with his eyes closed, his eyelids gently trembling.
Shi Yang specially secured a deluxe hospital room, with two beds in one room, an independent bathroom, sofa, and TV.
After settling Zhao Dazhuang, Shi Yang asked Zhao Wendada and Wang Tianyu to go ho and rest, then instructed Qu Chaozong to take Liu Xiue back ho.
Liu Xiue was unwilling to leave: "Let stay as a caretaker."
Shi Yang said: "ii and I will stay here tonight, you should go ho and rest. We were quite unprepared for this hospital stay, so it would be good for you to go back and prepare so things."
Liu Xiue was still a bit hesitant, Shi Yang persuaded: "Co back tomorrow to relieve ; my uncle is still under anesthesia. You’ll have trouble moving him for turning over or massages on your own."
Liu Xiue hesitated for a mont, then nodded agreent: "Alright, after your uncle finishes the IV tonight, you should rest early too. I’ll co over early to bring you als tomorrow."
