Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 221 is good news!

Unfortunately, we arrived at the hospital too late; it was almost time for the doctors to leave work.

When Shen Qingqing went to the registration desk to ask, the medical staff at the counter suggested that she book an appointment online for an earlier appointment the next day and come to see the doctor earlier that day.

Under the guidance of medical staff, Shen Qingqing quickly booked an appointment with a specialist at 9:30 the next morning. Then she went back to Shen Rongzhou and explained the situation to Li Xunli, saying that she would come back tomorrow.

At this time in her previous life, Shen Qingqing was still busy with her graduation thesis and defense at school, so Shen Rongzhou figured out how to do these things on his own.

They didn't have any money at that time, so they could only stay in a relatively cheap and cramped hotel near the hospital.

Although this life also brings bad news, their ability to withstand risks is many times better than in their previous life.

The money from selling the house in my past life was only enough to complete the first course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I couldn't even finish the second course of immunotherapy, so I had to leave the hospital and try to find other treatments. Later, my condition worsened, and I didn't have much time left, so there was nothing I could do.

Liver cancer has the lowest survival rate, followed by lung cancer.

There are plenty of people who can't make it through five years.

But in this lifetime, Shen Qingqing would never want to repeat the same mistake.

The next morning, the family of three went to the hospital and successfully met with a specialist doctor. After showing the doctor the examination reports they had done in Chaocheng, the doctor ordered a lot of tests for them.

There are routine checkups, as well as the most important biopsy to determine whether the tumor is benign or malignant.

Just doing these tests took two or three days, and waiting for the reports took another two or three days.

This was the first time they had come to Guangcheng not for business, so Shen Qingqing spent two or three days leisurely playing with them in Guangcheng.

A week has passed just like that.

Li Xunli and Shen Rongzhou were in good spirits. When they were in the hotel, they could chat and laugh with Shen Yangyang and the others while video chatting.

Soon, I received a notification from the hospital that the results of the biopsy were in.

On the day she went to the hospital to receive the results, Shen Qingqing was so tense that she was on edge.

Although Li Xunli knew she had a tumor in her body, her body was her own, and her own feelings were the most direct and accurate. She didn't feel that anything was wrong with her.

Seeing Shen Qingqing like this, she could only assume that Shen Qingqing was too worried and nervous about her, and she felt inexplicably comforted.

"Dabao, Mom is fine. Do you think I don't know my own body?" Li Xunli comforted Shen Qingqing, who was sitting next to her and pressed tightly against her.

Shen Qingqing turned her head to look at her mother, staring intently, as if she wanted to firmly imprint Li Xunli's current appearance in her mind.

Upon entering the familiar doctor's office, Shen Qingqing stared at the doctor with a serious and solemn expression.

The doctor was amused. "Hey sis, why are you looking at me like that? Relax, it's good news."

Shen Qingqing was taken aback, and the expression on her face relaxed slightly.

Li Xunli and Shen Rongzhou were also delighted when they heard this.

Shen Rongzhou quickly asked, "Doctor, what's the good news?"

The doctor pushed the biopsy report on the table in front of them. "The results are here. The examination showed that the tumor in Ms. Li's lung is benign and meets the surgical criteria. However, she will need some initial medication to adjust her body to the most suitable standard for surgery before the operation can proceed."

Upon hearing this result, it felt as if a heavy arrow had pierced through the air and shattered the heavy stone weighing on her heart, leaving her feeling disoriented.

Shen Qingqing turned to look at Li Xunli in a daze, her emotions collapsing instantly: "Mom..."

She had barely uttered a single word when her voice choked, and large tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes as if a broken string had suddenly been broken.

From the moment she learned of Li Xunli's cancer diagnosis in her previous life to the emotions she had suppressed for two lifetimes since her rebirth, all of these feelings vanished like steam in the face of this good news, rushing out of Shen Qingqing's eyes.

She did not remain unchanged; her efforts were not in vain; her rebirth was not meaningless.

In her past life, Shen Qingqing was useless and incompetent. In this life, she finally saved her mother who loved her so much...

Li Xunli and Shen Rongzhou were both taken aback by Shen Qingqing's sudden emotional breakdown.

Li Xunli immediately went over and hugged Shen Qingqing, constantly comforting her: "Don't cry, don't cry, Mom is alright, isn't she? Don't be alarmed..."

Shen Qingqing cried louder and louder, uncontrollably hugging Li Xunli and burying herself in Li Xunli's arms.

She kept telling herself, "That's not true, Mom..."

It wasn't like this in my past life. I'm incompetent, I'm too useless, I couldn't save you...

I could only watch helplessly as your life was slowly eroded away on your sickbed...

Shen Qingqing cried for a long time, as if she was making up for the part of her past life when she learned that her parents had died together and did not want to leave them with so much trouble. She didn't cry from the time she collected their bodies to the time she received their ashes.

She didn't say it aloud, but the growing guilt she felt towards Li Xunli in her past life was like a spider's web, tightly binding her heart little by little.

In the final days of Li Xunli's life, she dared not utter these feelings of guilt.

After her rebirth, she was even more at a loss for words when faced with Li Xunli, who was completely unaware of the truth.

These emotions were repeatedly suppressed and accumulated by her, and she continued to cover them up through studying and working. When she was examined in Chaocheng and found out that Li Xunli still had a tumor in her lungs, those emotions were like a sponge that had absorbed water, constantly expanding and squeezing her body and emotions inch by inch.

And then it all erupted now.

Finally, it was only after the doctor said he needed to discuss the preliminary surgical preparations with them that Shen Qingqing calmed down and listened attentively to the doctor's instructions.

Once the treatment plan is determined, the only remaining issue is money. With the money in place, everything will fall into place.

In their past life, their family lacked money the most, but in this life, money is no longer a constraint.

The next day, when she was admitted to the hospital, Shen Qingqing took the test report to the attending physician and asked a few questions.

"I understand, thank you, doctor. I'll leave everything to you now!" Shen Qingqing said with a sincere smile.

The attending physician moved his hand in his pocket and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, your mother's condition is quite good, and I believe the surgery can be scheduled soon."

The fact that Li Xunli had a benign tumor was immediately shared with her family elders via video call. When the test results showed problems, Li Xunjin and the others also found out and were very worried about Li Xunli's condition.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when this good news came out.

However, when he heard that surgery was needed, his heart condition was raised again.

This is something that cannot be avoided, because Li Xunli's tumor is quite large, and if surgery is not performed in time, it is very likely that it will compress her trachea later.

Moreover, the distinction between benign and malignant is not always absolute; benign conditions can turn malignant. Therefore, it is important to have surgery as early as possible for peace of mind.

From diagnosis to surgery, and post-operative observation and follow-up, Li Xunli stayed in the hospital for almost two months.

Shen Rongzhou and Shen Qingqing took turns looking after him at the hospital.

Shen Rongzhou also told the truth that he had asked for leave and had a large sum of money deducted from his pay.

Shen Qingqing doesn't have to have her pay docked, since she's the boss herself. But she takes care of Li Xunli during the day and has to work hard at night to handle matters related to Youqiantu and Tu Chuan.

Youqian doesn't need to worry too much. Since Shen Qingqing took over Tu Chuan after coming of age, she has basically focused more on Tu Chuan.

The collaborations with popular IPs have resulted in a constant stream of merchandise, and Shen Qingqing has taken on every single one of them.

The live streaming industry has become increasingly popular since Douyin (TikTok) launched.

In particular, the virtual live streaming sector, with its various voice chat room streamer guilds collaborating with other organizations, has become a new industry chain.

The porcelain merchandise from Tu Chuan was also made by Xun Qing, while the gift box design and matching were handled by Jin Cheng.

On the day of discharge, the doctor looked at the follow-up report and congratulated Shen Qingqing and the others: "Congratulations, Ms. Li, you have recovered very well, but you still need to follow the doctor's advice I gave you before and come back for regular check-ups."

"Even if the surgery is successful now and the recovery is good, we cannot let our guard down. We must be vigilant to prevent this kind of dangerous disease from making a comeback."

"Okay, okay, doctor, we'll remember that!" Shen Rongzhou nodded repeatedly, his face beaming with joy, as he put his arm around Li Xunli.

As they walked out of the hospital, Shen Qingqing asked, "Dad, Mom, should we go straight home now, or stay at a hotel for the night and leave tomorrow?"

"Let's go back now! Don't wait until tomorrow!" Li Xunli said impatiently.

Although the treatment of benign tumors is not as painful as that of malignant tumors, it is not easy either, and Li Xunli still suffered a bit.

No one likes to stay in a place where they are suffering, and Li Xunli is no exception. Now that she can leave, she will leave now.

Shen Qingqing immediately booked tickets, and two hours later, they boarded the high-speed train back to Chaocheng.

Upon receiving news that they would be back today, Li Xunjin left the company immediately.

When Li Yuxing heard the good news, she was so happy that she stopped playing mahjong and went to the market just as it opened to buy vegetables that Li Xunli could eat. After Li Xunjin picked them up, they went straight home and had dinner at the Li family's house that evening.

When Zhang Mingfang stepped into the house and saw Li Xunli, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Compared to Li Xunli's round face and healthy complexion two months ago, there have been obvious changes after the surgery. The most obvious change is that she has lost weight and her complexion is not as good.

Fortunately, he was in good spirits, and his voice was as loud and strong as before.

So Zhang Mingfang's eyes only reddened slightly before she quickly smiled happily again.

Li Yuxing, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the sound at the door and came out of the kitchen. When she saw Li Xunli return, she smiled kindly and with relief: "Good, good, it's good that you're back!"

Not only has Li Xunli's illness changed in this life, but Li Yuxing's life has also changed a little.

Li Xunli's childhood trauma stemmed from Li Yuxing's excessive favoritism towards Li Xunjin and her preference for sons over daughters.

But ever since Li Xunli stood up like Li Xunjin, Shen Qingqing became the most promising among the grandchildren, and Shen Yangyang, like Li Chunchun, was admitted to a good 211 university, Li Yuxing's attitude towards Li Xunli has also been quietly changing.

Now, when something happens, I don't always go to Li Xunjin or say that I should ask Li Xunjin to make the decision. Occasionally, I will listen to Li Xunli's opinions and follow her arrangements. I no longer say that Li Xunli is not as good as Li Xunjin.

The relationship between the mother and daughter is better than it was in their previous life, and there is less friction.

Zheng Wanyu did not leave in the spring of 2015, but lived a few more years. She saw Shen Qingqing go to university, saw Li Xunjin's second child Li Yuan be born, and saw Shen Yangyang and Li Chunchun go to university. However, due to the severe situation when the restrictions were first lifted, she did not make it through and passed away at the age of ninety.

This is already considered a happy funeral.

Because she lived a few more years, she often heard Shen Qingqing talk about other people's affairs after their deaths, and during those years she made a very firm decision to dissolve Zhang Mingxian's parent-child relationship.

Because the Zhang family's temperaments were rotten to the core, after Shen Qingqing went to university in the capital, even more incomprehensible things happened than in her previous life, which infuriated Zheng Wanyu and Li Yuxing's sisters. So, when Zheng Wanyu was still sober at the time, she made this decision.

She also said that if her daughters felt that the elderly couple were not worthy of being supported by their family, then they should stop supporting them, so that the elderly couple would be better off out of sight and out of mind.

In the end, Shen Qingqing insisted on keeping the memorial tablets of Zheng Wanyu and his wife. Li Yuxing, of course, could not allow her parents' memorial tablets to be enshrined in the home of her grandchildren, so the tablets were ultimately left in the Li family.

During dinner, Shen Yangyang and Li Chunchun had gone back to school, so they could only eat together with their families via video call.

"Come on, everyone, raise your glasses to celebrate Xunli's successful discharge from the hospital and her full recovery!"

Because Li Xunli can't drink alcohol, no one else drank alcohol tonight; instead, they drank Sprite, Coke, and Wanglaoji herbal tea.

The lively clinking of glasses, unchanged from years ago, rang out. Li Xunjin turned around and used a selfie stick to take this new family photo once again.

Under the warm, comforting orange light, everyone in the photo has a genuine look of joy and happiness on their face.

Later, Shen Qingqing got hold of the photo, developed it, and framed five or six copies. She placed one copy on her desk in her own room, and another copy in each of her studios and company.

Every time Shen Qingqing is tired from work, seeing this photo helps her regain some of her energy.

All her efforts were aimed at maintaining this happiness.

When this chapter described the good news for my mother, I couldn't help but cry for a while.

I'm so envious of Qingqing, it's a pity I don't have her good luck.

Actually, we could consider this the end of the main text.
I will write until the last day of this month. You can treat it as a side story or as part of the main story, it doesn't matter.

This ending was something I decided on at the very beginning. The story is essentially about Qingqing returning to change everything. As for Qingqing's own unknown future, that's her own path to follow.
Thank you all, thank you to every single one of you who read this far, I love you all!
See you tomorrow night~
