It must be Qin Zhiyou and the rest who had suppressed the incident. After all, if a scene was made out of this and the news of Qin Zhiyou’s wife being taken advantage of during a business deal had gone out, he did not need to stay in Yan City anymore.
However, she also learned her lesson after this incident. She should not be greedy for shortcuts and want to go as high as possible. Shortcuts were filled with traps; they only appeared easier, but in the end, she was actually standing right at the edge of a cliff.
——
The new month began and Qin Zhiyou was as busy as usual. One could see all sorts of news about him every day.
Likewise, Lu Weixi was also very busy, perhaps she had a blessing in disguise. Previously, she had worked with a client that was very satisfied with her and after making a fortune from his business the year before, he bought a new villa and specifically hired her to design it, even introducing her to a few other wealthy friends of his who had bought similar housing types.
After receiving his admiration, Lu Weixi also did her best and boldly removed the original structure of the house, trying her best to make the house design in their hearts come true, according to the two parties’ likes and dislikes. When the design came out, both parties were agreeable to it.
Even though they only paid the deposit, the commission for both houses was already fifty thousand dollars, in addition to the balance she would receive after the work was done. With the monthly base rate of fifty thousand dollars and the extra thirty thousand that Qin Zhiyou had given her previously, she could pay for both the medical bills and return the money she owed Xue Feifei.
Lu Weixi did not want to owe anyone a favor, so she immediately transferred the money to Xue Feifei as soon as she received the deposit.
After transferring the money, Xue Feifei did not reply for a long time as she probably was at work.
She still had some time after leaving the client’s villa, so she decisively drove the car to the hospital. When Lu Weixi arrived, the caregiver was coincidentally there, so she took over the caregiver’s work, helping her mother wipe her body and change her clothes. The recent medication seemed to be quite effective, as the duration of her mother being awake and lucid was getting longer and longer.
Even though the nerves in her brain were being suppressed, her vision was deteriorating, her limbs could not move and she could not fluently express her thoughts, she was still happy when Lu Weixi received the nurse’s permission to take her down to the garden and enjoy some sunlight.
The weather was decent today and the flowers were blossoming well in the garden. After accompanying her mother to enjoy the sunlight beside the wisteria flowers, Zhao Zihui coincidentally came over.
“Ms. Lu, why didn’t you come over and say hi when you were here?” A stethoscope was still hanging around Zhao Zihui’s neck, and he had clearly just finished doing his rounds. The moment he came, he crouched down to check on Mother Lu before standing up and smiling. “It seems like ZERO-1 is quite effective.”
“It’s because your treatments are good.” When her mother had lung cancer, she could not sleep at night sometimes when her illness relapsed, due to the excruciating pain. The scariest thing about cancer was not getting it, but the fact that nobody could fight with the unending hopelessness, no matter how much treatment they underwent, in addition to the countless side effects. When they first discovered that her mother’s cancer had moved, Lu Weixi had even felt that at least her mother would not be in that much pain when she was unconscious.
Zhao Zihui also smiled. “You don’t have to be too worried. Even if the lung cancer has shifted, we can still control the patient’s condition and extend her life with scientific treatment. Initially, I thought that you were rather burdened and I didn’t know if the medicine would be effective, so I didn’t recommend you to do such a costly treatment. However, she’s still your family member after all. If you didn’t do your best, you would regret it for the rest of your life. Not being able to show filial piety to your parents is the most bitter thing in the world.”
Lu Weixi looked at Zhao Zihui’s distant expression and asked casually, “Doctor Zhao, did you recall something? Is it related to your parents?”
