Chapter 846: Xue Ya Has Given Up
Qu Xuan and Xue Ya were considered Su Yang’s friends, especially Qu Xuan. He was one of Su Yang’s few close friends.
At the end of last year, Qu Xuan borrowed money from Su Yang twice. The first ti, he borrowed a few thousand yuan, and the second ti, he borrowed four hundred thousand yuan. Su Yang was afraid that Qu Xuan would go astray, so he used his Silver Ability, [Truth Or Explosion] to check on Qu Xuan.
In the end, when he found out that Xue Ya was seriously ill, Qu Xuan was helping her raise dical fees.
Therefore, Su Yang lent him the money.
Later on, Qu Xuan returned the money he borrowed from Su Yang before the Lunar New Year, and Su Yang forgot about the matter.
During this period of ti, Su Yang was busy with the screening of “Wandering Planet, the World’s Billionaire List, and the plan to overthrow Japan. Therefore, he did not pay attention to Qu Xuan.
‘Based on what Chu Xia has just said, could sothing have happened to Qu Xuan and Xue Ya?’
At that thought, Su Yang’s first reaction was to wonder if Xue Ya had lost control of her illness.
Su Yang asked Chu Xia, “What happened between them?”
Chu Xia leaned her head against the car window and said a little sadly, “Xue Ya has cancer, but she doesn’t want her family and the people around her to know about it, so she’s been keeping it a secret.
“After Qu Xuan found out about this, he secretly raised a sum of money and brought Xue Ya to see a doctor.”
“When Qu Xuan’s parents found out about this, they were so angry that they almost had a heart attack. They thought that Qu Xuan had borrowed so much money but did not discuss it with his family. Furthermore, he spent so much money on a classmate, so they thought that he hadn’t been planning for the future at all.”
Su Yang listened intently as he drove. When he heard this, he said, “Xue Ya is not Qu Xuan’s classmate, she’s his girlfriend.”
Chu Xia continued, “Yes, but in his parents’ eyes, they’re just classmates. After all, you know what kind of person Qu Xuan is. Does he have a shortage of girlfriends? I heard from Sister Xiaong that he has never stopped dating since middle school.
“Furthermore, we are still too young. No one knows if we can make it to the end. To Qu Xuan, Xue Ya is the only person he loves, and she will be his future wife. However, to Qu Xuan’s parents, Xue Ya is just an outsider.
“For the sake of outsiders, his family has had to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan. Anyone would feel heartache.”
Su Yang nodded silently. “That makes sense. Furthermore, his parents will have a bad impression of Xue Ya because of this. This will make it harder for them to get together.”
Chu Xia agreed, “Yes.”
Su Yang asked, “Did you hear this from Teacher Qu?”
Chu Xia nodded. “That’s right. Sister Xiaong and I are already best friends who talk about everything. During the new year, Qu Xuan and his family had already fallen out. Sister Xiaong is stuck in the middle and it’s especially difficult for her at the mont. She’s always frowning now.
“So, she could only chat with to vent her frustration.”
Su Yang nodded and turned the steering wheel.
After turning a corner, Su Yang continued, “How are Qu Xuan and Xue Ya now?”
Chu Xia shook her head. “I’m not sure. According to Sister Xiaong, things aren’t looking good. I heard that Xue Ya’s illness is very serious. Even after spending so much money, it still hasn’t been effective and it’s getting worse. Qu Xuan has been staying in her ward every day and hasn’t left for a single mont, but it’s not helping.
“Sister Xiaong said that Qu Xuan is a little possessed. The last ti he ca ho, he even planned to use his family’s savings to bring Xue Ya to Japan for treatnt. I heard that Japan has the world’s most advanced cancer treatnt.
“But, Sister Xiaong’s parents rejected it.”
Su Yang frowned.
‘If what Chu Xia says is true, Qu Xuan is indeed a little possessed. Although love is the greatest form of emotion in the world, kinship is just the sa.
‘If one were to sacrifice oneself and everything for love, I would praise them as great. However, sacrificing one’s family or letting them get “hard” for love... That’s just selfish.’
It was just that... After evaluating Qu Xuan, Su Yang felt that he was being hypocritical.
As he drove, he thought about it. If he were to think about this from Qu Xuan’s perspective, it would not be that hard to understand.
After all, the person he loved was suffering from a terminal illness, but his family was still safe and sound, so he was not worried about his family for the ti being. Therefore, it was understandable that he wanted to save his lover.
At that mont, Su Yang felt conflicted. He did not know how to evaluate Qu Xuan.
Just as Su Yang was thinking, Chu Xia said softly, “Su Yang.”
“Hmm?” Su Yang replied and ca back to his senses.
Chu Xia said, “If I get a terminal illness, what will you do?”
Upon hearing Chu Xia’s words, Su Yang glared at her. “You won’t. Even if you do have terminal illness, I’ll still save you.”
Chu Xia blinked. “Can you cure terminal illnesses?”
Su Yang pondered for a mont. “Yes, but not now.”
Chu Xia looked at Su Yang and understood what he ant.
After a while, she sighed. “Perhaps true love is destined to be separated by life and death.”
After that, sentintal emotions started to linger in the car.
The car drove on the streets of Shanghai. The humming sound of the engine was the only lody in the car.
After so ti, Chu Xia suddenly felt a hand gently grab hers.
She raised her head and saw Su Yang holding her hand as he drove. “True love can be peaceful too.”
Chu Xia looked at Su Yang. After a while, her lips curled into a beautiful smile.
With the [Tank Driving] ability, Su Yang barged into Chu Xia’s neighborhood.
Su Yang drove Chu Xia downstairs and they hugged for a while before separating.
When they separated, Chu Xia looked at Su Yang and whispered, “Su Yang, if there’s a way, can you help Qu Xuan and Xue Ya?”
“They...”
“So pitiful.”
Su Yang looked down and caressed Chu Xia’s hair. “Okay.”
Seeing that Su Yang had agreed, Chu Xia added softly, “But don’t hurt yourself or make things difficult for you.”
Su Yang smiled and caressed her hair again. “Okay.”
After watching Chu Xia go upstairs, Su Yang rubbed his temples and turned to walk towards the entrance of the district.
Su Yang was thinking about Qu Xuan as he walked.
Actually, even if Chu Xia did not say anything, Su Yang wanted to ask Qu Xuan and Xue Ya about their current situation. After all, Su Yang was not a cold-blooded person. He could not watch a familiar life pass away just like that.
Furthermore, Chu Xia had asked him for help. Hence, Su Yang was willing to help Qu Xuan and Xue Ya before he left for Japan.
Back in the car, Su Yang called Qu Xuan while driving.
“Du... Du... Du... Du...”
Shortly after, the call connected. Su Yang heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice.
The voice was haggard, low, and magnetic. “Hello? President?”
Listening to this unfamiliar yet familiar voice, Su Yang sighed in his heart and said, “It’s . Qu Xuan, how have you been recently?”
Qu Xuan was silent for a while before saying, “Pretty good.”
Su Yang smiled.
“Don’t you need money?”
Qu Xuan fell silent again for a while before saying in a low voice, “There’s no need...”
This ti, it was Su Yang’s turn to be surprised. When he asked if Qu Xuan needed money, it was actually Su Yang who wanted to lure Xue Ya out. ‘Qu Xuan isn’t taking the bait?’
Su Yang could not help but ask, “Really? But I heard that you haven’t been doing well recently and am in need of money right now.”
Hearing Su Yang’s words, Qu Xuan fell silent again. After a mont of silence, he sighed and said, “President, you should know about what’s happening already, right?”
Su Yang nodded.
Qu Xuan said, “Xue Ya has given up.”
Su Yang was not surprised. Xue Ya did not want to be treated from the start. He asked, “What about you?”
Qu Xuan remained silent for a while before saying hoarsely, “I’m about to give up too.”
Su Yang sighed and was about to hang up.
At that mont, Qu Xuan suddenly choked and said, “There’s nothing I can do even if I don’t give up. President, you don’t know how I’ve spent the past few months! Xue Ya doesn’t want to be treated, and her family doesn’t want her to be treated either. It’s just and Xiaoying who are under pressure to try and co up with the paynt.
“I’ve borrowed from everyone I could, and that was how I managed to gather Xue Ya’s dical fees. However, no matter how I treated her, Xue Ya’s health continues to deteriorate day by day. She’s already so haggard, so thin.
“I wanted to save her and bring her to Japan for further treatnt, but the doctor talked to a lot. He said that there was not much hope for Xue Ya’s illness to be treated. If it could not be treated in China, there was a high chance that it could not be treated in Japan either. Especially now that she has been treated for so long, Xue Ya’s body is already very weak. It will be difficult for her to survive the long journey.
“He wants to consider Xue Ya’s feelings. A patient with terminal cancer needs to improve their quality of life, not keep on torturing her.”
Qu Xuan’s choking slowly turned into bitter tears. “I don’t know if I did the right thing. I fell out with my parents because of her. I have a lot of debt on my back and didn’t even go to school just to save her.
“But now, not only did I fail to save her, even the doctor thinks I’m torturing her.
“Am I doing the right thing or not?”
Su Yang listened to Qu Xuan venting his emotions and was speechless.
‘If the sa thing happens to , how would I choose?
‘The person that I love has cancer, and if she isn’t treated, she would only have half a year left to live. If she’s saved and succeeds, she might live for another 10 years, but if it all fails, her lifespan might be shortened to three or four months.
‘Which ans there is a high probability of her dying in the course of treatnt...
‘What am I supposed to do then?
‘Could I just watch as the person I love deteriorates day by day?
‘Then, what if I were to add on the fact that I would lose all my fortune and be in debt? How would I choose then?
‘What if I went bankrupt, beca heavily indebted, and she still fails to get treated, causing the person I love to lose her ti to fulfill her last dream?
‘This is a question that I will only be able to answer if it actually happens to ...’
Sensing Qu Xuan’s despair, Su Yang stopped driving and drove to the roadside. He stopped the car and comforted Qu Xuan.
Qu Xuan had been under a lot of stress during this period of ti. His chat with Su Yang this ti allowed him to release all the stress that he had been under for the past six months.
Su Yang did not get impatient. Instead, he listened to Qu Xuan’s explanation quietly.
Su Yang was not the only one. Even Little Deeny had appeared beside Su Yang at so point in ti. He leaned against Su Yang and wiped his tears as he listened to Qu Xuan’s cries.
After half an hour, Qu Xuan finally stopped crying and apologized to Su Yang.
Su Yang replied nonchalantly, “It’s fine. You’ll feel better if you let it out.”
Qu Xuan might have cried out all the repressed emotions in his heart, so he smiled and said, “Yes, it feels much better.”
Then, he said, “Alright, President. I’ve got to go now. I still have to go back and take care of Xue Ya.”
Su Yang asked, “What are you going to do next?”
Qu Xuan seed to have returned to his carefree personality when Su Yang first t him. “What else can I do? I’ll take it one step at a ti. Anyway, I’ve fallen out with my family and no one cares about now.
“I plan to take Xue Ya out of the hospital and find a quiet place to wait until she leaves.”
Su Yang was speechless.
“Don’t think too highly of yourself. She has parents too.”
At this point, Qu Xuan beca even more nonchalant. “Her parents? Her parents gave up long ago. Seeing that I still insist on it, they took the initiative to cut ties with her and said that they will not pay Xue Ya’s dical fees.”
Su Yang was speechless
Qu Xuan said, “That’s why Xue Ya has . Oh... And Guo Xiaoying, her best boyfriend and best friend. Otherwise, she...”
At the end of his sentence, Qu Xuan’s voice slowly faded into an almost inaudible whisper. “Otherwise, she... Might be able to live a little longer.”
Su Yang was speechless once again.
At that mont, Su Yang truly understood Qu Xuan’s guilt and confusion.
He sighed and suddenly made up his mind. He said, “Why don’t you co to my place? I bought a new villa. It’s very big and empty.”
Qu Xuan refused. “Forget it, President. I won’t trouble you. I still want to stay with Xue Ya alone. Besides, she probably doesn’t want to trouble others.”
Su Yang insisted, “Just co.”
He paused. “Maybe... I can save Xue Ya.”
Upon hearing Su Yang’s words, Qu Xuan was initially surprised. However, the next mont, he was like a deflated balloon that had all the air escaping from his body. “Forget it, President. Don’t give any hope. The doctor said that with our current technology, it’s impossible to save Xue Ya.”
Su Yang replied, “Who said that I’m going to use current technology to save Xue Ya?”
Qu Xuan was stunned.
“President, you an...”
Su Yang said, “Just think about Jiadian Mobile’s glass phones. The technology that I have is way ahead of those amateurs.”
