Chapter 266 Critical Illness Notice (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

No one enjoyed the meal very much.

on the way home.

Both of them were keeping a close eye on each other, observing each other's reactions.

Su Tianyan originally wanted to teach Su Cheng a lesson, to tell him not to speak so bluntly in the future, and that it was no big deal to let someone stay for a few days, since they were all relatives.

but.

At this moment.

Su Cheng's presence in the driver's seat was very strong.

Although Su Cheng looked no different from usual, this aura emanated from her from head to toe.

Su Tianyan found it hard to describe this aura. If he had to describe it, he would say that his whole body was filled with a strong "fighting desire," but even that wasn't quite accurate.

Su Tianyan speculated that Su Cheng's actions today were exactly the rebellious psychology predicted by the expert team.

Therefore, he tacitly agreed with Su Cheng's words during lunch.

It's actually quite good.

This energy can be transformed into a driving force for career advancement.

Su Tianyan was very satisfied with this educational plan.

This not only strengthened Su Cheng's filial piety towards him, but also gave Su Cheng a sense of ambition, which was an unexpected gain.

Kill two birds with one stone.

perfect!

As for the Tian family...

He Chunlan is Su Tianyan's mother-in-law, and Tian Rui is his sister-in-law.

But aside from this kinship, what are these two people to Su Tianyan?
Of course he sided with his son.

The Tian family has already played its part.

Whether they ultimately fall out or how their relationship evolves is irrelevant to Su Tianyan; it's not within his consideration.

The Magotan pulled up to the apartment building.

Su Tianyan picked up the tote bag and then explained, "Aren't you going to find Little Fatty later?"

Su Cheng replied with a muffled "Mm".

"Then be careful on the road, don't drive so fast, I'm going back to get some sleep."

"Row."

After saying that, Su Tianyan got out of the car.

Su Cheng found it quite unbelievable.

Surprisingly, the old man didn't cause him any trouble in this matter?
Su Cheng was mentally prepared for the old man to help Tian Rui disgust him.

Never thought about it.

The old man pretended to be invisible at the dinner table, barely saying a word.

She didn't even scold him on the way home.

The old man's comment, "Be careful," was essentially a statement of approval for Su Cheng's behavior at the dinner table, tacitly endorsing his words.

This put Su Cheng at ease.

Even if the old man scolds him, he has something to say, and he can no longer be as submissive as before.

Su Cheng stepped on the gas and drove away from the residential area, soon arriving at Zheng Jiawei's shopping mall.

But he discovered that the store didn't seem to be open for business today?
Shouldn't it?

Although today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, most supermarkets and shopping malls will be open when it's time to officially start selling and processing orders.

Moreover, Zheng Jiawei doesn't have any relatives and doesn't need to visit others.

Su Cheng dialed Zheng Jiawei's number and asked where he was: "Hey? Jiawei, is the store closed today? Where are you right now?"

Zheng Jiawei's dejected voice came through the phone: "Brother Cheng, my dad is in the hospital, he's there now."

A glint of light flashed in Su Cheng's eyes.

"Oh? You're hospitalized? Our county hospital, right? Which department are you in, and which floor? I'll be right there."

Zheng Jiawei told him the truth, and Su Cheng hung up the phone and turned around to go to the county hospital.

Su Cheng first went to another supermarket and bought a carton of milk and a fruit basket. He even hummed a little tune on the way.

Zheng Jiawei's father is finally dying!

Su Cheng had already written out the improvement plan for supermarkets and convenience stores, but she had been holding back from giving it to Zheng Jiawei.

Su Cheng knew that if Zheng Guotao didn't die, Zheng Jiawei wouldn't be able to use the plan.

If Su Cheng gives it away, Zheng Jiawei won't have the authority to make any significant changes to the family shop, and he might even end up arguing with his father. This kind of conflict is not what Su Cheng wants to see.

He's been waiting for this day for a long time.

Come to the hospital.

Su Cheng saw Zheng Guotao lying on the hospital bed, barely breathing and lifeless. His sickly appearance was even more terrifying than Zhang Shiyuan's.

Zheng Jiawei sat dejectedly to the side, his face pale and his mood extremely low.

Only after seeing Su Cheng arrive did he drag himself to his feet to greet her.

"Brother Cheng."

Su Cheng's expression was extremely anxious. He asked urgently, "What happened? How come you were fine just two days ago, and then suddenly you were hospitalized?"

He was suddenly hospitalized?

"I don't know either. I suddenly fainted last night and was immediately taken to the hospital."

Zheng Jiawei sighed again as he spoke.

"How is the situation? What did the doctor say?"

Zheng Jiawei explained that the doctor gave him a critical condition notice today, saying that he only has three to five months to live at most, and he will have to stay in the hospital during that time.

Su Cheng: ???
No.

Is this how a critical illness notice is issued?
Although Su Cheng had never experienced it, weren't the dramas all about people who only had a few days to live after receiving a critical illness notice? How could they live for three to five months?

Judging from Zheng Guotao's deathly appearance, and the fact that he even smelled of a corpse, he definitely wouldn't live that long.

In Su Cheng's memory, Zheng Guotao was around the year before or after the Lunar New Year, and he wasn't mistaken about that.

Anyway.

Su Cheng's plan can only be given after Zheng Guotao dies; it can't be given at this critical juncture.

"Brother Cheng, could you lend me some money?"

"Sure, how much do you want?"

"I'd like to borrow 50,000 yuan first, is that alright?"

"No problem, send me your card number and I'll transfer the money to your card."

Zheng Jiawei must have borrowed the money for his father's medical treatment.

This old man doesn't have many days left to live, but Su Cheng still has to lend the money to Zheng Jiawei.

Even if the 50,000 yuan is wasted, that's between him and Zheng Jiawei, and has nothing to do with Zheng Guotao.

No matter how good Su Cheng's relationship with Zheng Jiawei is, she couldn't possibly persuade him not to get treatment and waste money.

If Zheng Jiawei had listened to advice, he would have made changes long ago.

Since he's determined to go down this path to the bitter end, Su Cheng is willing to grant his wish.

Su Cheng transferred the money to Zheng Jiawei and then stayed at the hospital until mid-afternoon before leaving.

"Call me if anything happens," Su Cheng told him before leaving.

"All right!"

Su Cheng left the hospital and went back to his hometown first. He wanted to pack up some things he had forgotten there, as he would be leaving in a couple of days.

In the evening, Su Cheng returned to the neighborhood and had dinner with her father.

Halfway through.

Su Cheng's phone rang; it was Zheng Jiawei calling.

He put down the steamed bun in his hand, wiped his hands with a tissue, and then swiped to answer the call.

As soon as the call connected, Zheng Jiawei's sobbing voice came through.

"Brother Cheng."

"My dad... is gone."

Su Cheng's eyes widened immediately.

it is good!
good good!
"Jiawei, don't worry, I'm on my way now." Su Cheng hung up the phone and walked out.

Su Tianyan, confused, stopped Su Cheng: "Wait a minute, what's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"

"Zheng Jiawei's father is dead."

"Huh? That chubby kid from last time?"

"Correct."

Didn't you go to see him this afternoon?

"I didn't play. I only found out in the afternoon that his father was hospitalized. I went to the hospital to see him, but I didn't expect him to pass away that night."

Su Tianyan was also somewhat shocked upon hearing this, and he immediately said, "I'll go with you."

Su Cheng: ???
"What are you going to do?"

"An elder should go. Do you young people even know how to handle funeral arrangements?"

Su Cheng thought about it and realized it made sense; these young people really didn't understand those traditional rules.

The two immediately set off for the county hospital.
