Chapter 797: Unkind Person

After Yan Xin got off work and returned home, Ai Lili also returned home. He saw that Ai Lili was in a low mood and knew that she had gone to Cai Qixiang. He sighed in his heart.

Ask her: "How is your father today?"

"I'm quite pessimistic and don't want to do chemotherapy. I'm also asking people if there are any good Chinese medicine practitioners who can cure this. I don't know what he thinks." Ai Lili said depressedly.

She is an international student, and the education she received makes her not so sure about traditional Chinese medicine - especially when it comes to serious illnesses like cancer.

Cai Qixiang has cancer, but he is not actively seeking Western medical treatment. In her opinion, that is tantamount to seeking death.

However, Cai Qixiang is quite superstitious about traditional Chinese medicine. In his daily diet, he makes soups with various Chinese medicines and drinks a lot of medicinal wine.

In his opinion, good things are so-called "tonifying things", but he is actually not very clear about what they are.

That is not just ordinary belief, it has reached the level of superstition.

Ai Lili tried to persuade them a few times, but it didn't have much effect. This made her worried and also gave her a headache - why is it so difficult to communicate with the elderly?
Yan Xin could only persuade her: "You have to understand this. Older people tend to believe in Chinese medicine. Besides, chemotherapy sounds scary. Not to mention that he is an old man, even if a young person goes in, he will lose half his life. It is normal for him to be afraid."

He actually could somewhat understand Cai Qixiang's thoughts.

In his previous life, after he learned that he had liver cancer and it was in the late stage, he once placed his hope on traditional Chinese medicine, especially those so-called folk remedies that could cure cancer.

However, his reason was a little different from Cai Qixiang's - he did not have the money to go to the hospital for treatment, and his liver cancer was in the late stage. The doctor also confessed to him that it was basically impossible to cure it, and he was sentenced to death by the hospital.

There is no other way to pin your hopes on traditional Chinese medicine. After all, you have been sentenced to death by Western medicine, but not by traditional Chinese medicine.

Moreover, those folk remedies are just a bit wild and don’t cost that much money - what if they work?
I tried it later, but it didn't seem to work, so I gave up.

Ai Lili sighed, "I can understand that he has such thoughts, but in his current condition, if he actively receives treatment, he can still live longer. I really don't want to see him desperately seek medical treatment from all sorts of charlatans, which will delay his treatment."

"We can help to keep an eye on it and make sure that the swindlers don't get away with it," Yan Xin said.

"This is the only way." Ai Lili said depressedly.

Since Cai Qixiang had such an idea, she couldn't object too strongly, as this would make the old man feel worse and have more wild thoughts, which would be bad for his health.

All you can do is pay more attention and not get fooled by swindlers.

——Even if you want to see a Chinese doctor, you have to find a regular one, not someone who doesn’t even have a medical license.

Yan Xin doesn't care about this.

If Cai Qixiang had died earlier, he would probably have felt more relieved.

After persuading Ai Lili for a few words, she mentioned that Shu Yi would bring Little Mango to visit Cai Qixiang.

Ai Lili was a little surprised: "Really? Will she really come?"

She knew that Shu Yi had a bad relationship with Cai Qixiang, the father-in-law and daughter-in-law. She had tried to persuade both sides, but it seemed to have no effect.

This time, Shu Yi knew that Cai Qixiang had cancer and was willing to bring her daughter back to visit him. She was very happy and even a little moved. She felt that her sister-in-law was very understanding and was able to put aside past grudges and give the old man some comfort at the critical moment.

Then he sighed and said, "She is a really nice person, but my father is too harsh on her. Otherwise, how wonderful it would be if we lived together as a family?"

"The past is over. Now that your father is like this, I don't think she will bear a grudge about anything anymore." Yan Xin said.

But in my heart I was thinking: "My sister Lili is as gullible as ever."

Only a kind-hearted person like her would think the good in everyone.

I feel a little sorry for her, but I can't confess this to her, so I can only continue to coax her.

If you feel guilty, make up for it in other ways.

That night, Ai Lili still seemed to be worried and had trouble falling asleep.

Yan Xin could only comfort her softly, telling her that things were not as serious as she thought and that everything would be fine.

He couldn't find a solid reason to comfort her, but comfort itself is a positive emotional value and does have some effect.

With his comforting voice, Ai Lili slowly fell asleep.

But in her heart, she was still very worried.

No matter what, he is her biological father, how can she remain indifferent?
Two days later, something happened that made her even more depressed - Ai Jing, who had been living with Cai Qixiang and taking care of his daily life for the past four or five years, angrily left Cai's house with two large suitcases and moved to her house.

Although we all live in the same neighborhood, it would be a bit inhumane to move away at this time.

Ai Lili asked her the reason, and Ai Jing said angrily:

"This old man is such an ungrateful bastard! I have taken care of him for such a long time, but now he has cancer and is dying. I want a status, but he won't let me! He is worried that I will take away his property, so he wants to leave everything to his grandson! Everything belongs to his grandson! I have worked so hard to take care of him these years, but in his eyes, it's worthless!"

Ai Lili smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, I told you before that he would never give you this status. If he wanted to give it to you, he would have given it to you long ago. How could he wait until now?"

She had indeed reminded her before, but Ai Jing just wouldn't listen, so she could only let it go.

She was reluctant to go to Cai Qixiang's place before because she didn't want to see her mother acting like a mistress while being a mistress, which made her feel particularly embarrassed.

She actually wanted to see her mother leave Cai Qixiang, but not at this time.

——When someone gets cancer, he or she needs care and attention. Leaving him or her at this time seems a bit heartless.

Of course, she also knew that her mother was such a person.

However, Ai Jing would never think that she was wrong. In her eyes, others were always the only ones who were wrong.

She said angrily, "I thought that as long as I took good care of him, sincerity would move mountains and stones. I treated him so well that even an iron man would be moved. Who knew that he was not a human being at all, but an ungrateful beast! If that's the case, then why should I take care of him? If he wants to die, then die quickly. From now on, if you look at him even more, I will take his last name!"

Ai Lili pursed her lips and thought to herself: "You haven't worked too hard to take care of him, and he has done you a lot of good things."

But there's no point in saying this, her mother is not someone who can reason with others.

I could only say, "It's good that you've moved out. If you don't want to go back to Xiaorong Town, then you can live here with me. Anyway, the house is so big that there's room for you."

"I came here to live with you. I want to see how that heartless person dies!" Ai Jing said.

Elly frowned.

She has been worried about Cai Qixiang's condition these days and doesn't like to hear such words.

He said helplessly: "Mom, if we can't live together, then let's separate. It's better for everyone to part ways in peace. There's no need to curse like this."

Ai Jing glared, "I just want to curse him! I want to curse him to die a miserable death, and curse him to go to the eighteenth level of hell after his death!" Then she questioned her daughter, "Why, are you still feeling sorry for him? Do you think he treats you well? If he doesn't give me a name, then doesn't that mean he doesn't give you a name either? If he had taken a little responsibility and given you a name, why would you lose to that Feng guy and become a mistress like me?"

This is a bit hurtful.

Ai Lili took a deep breath and said to Ai Jing:
"Mom, I'm an adult now. I know what I want to do and what I should do. I don't need your guidance. I welcome you to live here. I will feed you and won't let you go hungry. But I don't want you to dictate my life, and I don't want your words to reach Feng Xi's ears. She is my best friend and she treats me very well. I don't want you to destroy the friendship between us. If you can't do this, I suggest you go back to Xiaorong Town to live."

Ai Jing was stunned for a moment and looked at Ai Lili.

I didn't expect that my daughter, who has always been docile, would become like this.

This made her feel very strange.

At the same time, there are also some fears.

She was no longer the daughter under her control.

After a while, he said, "...don't I feel wronged for you?"

The voice was much lower and no longer had the same arrogance as before.

Obviously he gave in.

——Now she suddenly understood a problem: Cai Qixiang was unreliable, and the only person she could rely on in the future was her daughter.

She is already old.

If her daughter gets tired of her and doesn't want to live with her, her life will be difficult in the future.

There is no choice but to surrender.

She has no other advantages except that she is flexible. When she knows what she needs to do, she will do it without worrying about whether it would be embarrassing if she changes too quickly.

Ai Lili glanced at her and thought to herself, "When I was most wronged, you never felt wronged for me. Now that I don't care about these things anymore, you feel wronged for me instead?"

I really want to question her, but after all, she is my biological mother, so I don't want to make it too embarrassing.

Since she has already given in, let it go.

She doesn't like quarrels and doesn't want to start one.

I'm pregnant with a baby, so don't get angry and cause any accidents.

Yan Xin came over in the evening and was surprised to see Ai Jing here.

However, at this time, Ai Jing had already completed her psychological counseling and her emotions had returned to normal. When she saw Yan Xin, she was particularly enthusiastic, even more enthusiastic than before - and even had a lot of flattering in her tone.

He didn't know what was going on, so he could only say a few perfunctory words like "hmm" and "ah" and get the matter over with.

After dinner, when I was walking with Elili, I finally understood what was going on. I was speechless.

When Ai Lili talked about these things, she felt particularly ashamed - if Yan Xin hadn't asked her, she wouldn't have wanted to say a word.

It's really shameful to have such a mother.

Yan Xin comforted her a few more words.

They walked to Cai Qixiang's place and went to visit him again.

Cai Qixiang was also very angry about Ai Jing's departure and felt that this woman was simply unreasonable.

Besides being angry, he was also worried - would Ai Lili distance herself from him for this reason, and would Yan Xin also distance herself from him, and then Cai Kun as well?

Then who can this child rely on in the future?
He was thinking about whether he should change his decision and give more benefits to his family members so that they could take better care of his grandson in the future.

Seeing Ai Lili and Yan Xin coming over, I felt a little better.

In front of him, Ai Lili also said a few bad things about her mother, asking Cai Qixiang not to be angry about this:

"She has always been like this. She only cares about money. It's not surprising that she behaved like this today. Don't bother with her. Just pretend she doesn't exist."

Cai Qixiang sighed deeply: "I don't really want to make a fuss about it, but some of her words are really hurtful, and she said them at this time, which is really heartless!"

Ai Lili felt extremely embarrassed.

What her mother did today was really unkind and not at all humane.

Of course, this does not mean that Cai Qixiang’s refusal to give his woman a status is a humane thing.

But the old man in front of me was a cancer patient, so I couldn't care less about so many things. I could only take care of his emotions and continue talking along with what he said.

He only has a few years left to live, so there's no need to hurt his feelings at this time.

All I can do is comfort the old man and ask him not to argue with her mother.

Yan Xin also followed suit to comfort him, and his comfort was even stronger.

——He knew how wavering Cai Qixiang's mind was now. If he was not careful, he would be swayed to the side of his clan members.

What they need to do now, of course, is to make the old man feel the love from them and trust them more.

Thanks to their efforts to comfort him, Cai Qixiang's mood improved a little and his worries were put to rest - Ai Jing was not sensible, but these two juniors were quite sensible.

This is enough.

Anyway, it’s not Ai Jing’s responsibility to take care of Cai Kun.

As they were talking, Ai Lili mentioned that Shu Yi was going to bring Little Mango to visit him from abroad.

Cai Qixiang was stunned for a moment: "What are they doing here?"

"I just heard that you were not feeling well, so I came to visit you." Ai Lili said.

"They... must hate me very much, right?" Cai Qixiang said.

You know what you have done.

Ai Lili sighed and said, "There may be some opinions, but after all, we are a family. My sister-in-law is also a person who understands the big picture. Even if she has some resentment about what happened in the past, she can let it go for the sake of the children."

Cai Qixiang was silent for a long time and didn't say anything, just let out a long sigh.
