"How can you talk like that? What right do you have to say that my father has a malignant tumor?"

"I'm just saying it's possible, Mr. Xiang. This is a hospital. Please keep quiet and don't yell, okay?"

If it was outside the hospital and Xiang Beifang treated him like this, Zhou Chen would not tolerate him, but now he was in the hospital and he was a doctor, so even if he was very unhappy, he had to endure it.

"North, you go out first."

"mom……"

"go out."

Xiang Beifang snorted coldly and walked out reluctantly.

Mother Xiang apologized to Zhou Chen again: "Doctor Zhou, I'm sorry, please continue."

"Auntie, I've almost said what I said. What I said just now was just to tell you not to worry too much. I see that you don't look very well. You need to pay attention to yourself recently and don't be too sad or upset."

"Thank you, Dr. Zhou. I'm really sorry to bother you today."

"It's my duty. Nan Fang and I are very good friends, and Uncle Xiang has helped me before. Auntie, please don't be so polite."

"That was all many years ago. Thank you for your hard work this time, Doctor Zhou."

"Auntie, you should just call me Xiao Zhou."

…………

A few days later, Mr. Xiang's test results came out, and the tumor was indeed malignant, which meant that his disease could be called cancer.

Fortunately, the cancer cells did not spread. The symptoms are in the middle stage, although very serious. But after the operation, at least his life is safe. If he takes good care of himself and receives good treatment in the later stage, he can live for many years.

In the spring of 02, a major event happened in the Qiao family.

Qi Chenggang was having an affair with a woman and was discovered by the woman's husband. The woman was also a big shot in Jinling, and Qi Chenggang was not only beaten half to death, but was also threatened with his life. Qi Chenggang was so scared that he hid from place to place and didn't even dare to go home.

Since he didn't go home, the ones who were unlucky were his parents and Qiao Simei and her daughter. People often went to his parents' house and the Qiao family to look for Qi Chenggang, and they all received threats.

There was even a time when Qiao Simei and her daughter were blocked. At the critical moment, Qiao Simei had to bring out Zhou Chen and Qiao Sanli, which made the other party afraid to take action.

Chenxing Group is now the leading enterprise in Jinling and is also ranked among the best in the country, so the Zhou family is deeply rooted in Jinling and even those in power will not easily provoke them.

Finally, at the request of Qiao Sanli, Zhou Chen came out to negotiate with the other party. However, he did not plead for Qi Chenggang. He just told the other party to find Qi Chenggang if they had any problems, and not to involve other people.

That person also knew Chenxing Group and Zhou Chen, and agreed to Zhou Chen's request out of respect, saying that he would only cause trouble for Qi Chenggang's family in the future, and would never cause trouble for Qiao Simei and her daughter.

Qiao Simei knew that Zhou Chen had a lot of connections, and asked Zhou Chen many times to help Qi Chenggang, but was coldly rejected by Zhou Chen every time.

Damn, you mess with someone else's woman and she messes with you, it's only natural, how could he possibly help you with such a thing.

However, what Zhou Chen did not expect was that Qiao Simei actually made another jaw-dropping move in the end.

In the Qiao family yard;

Qiao Zuwang, who was already trembling slightly when he walked, was now filled with rage. He paced back and forth in the yard angrily, cursing.

When he was getting anxious and angry, Zhou Chen and Qiao Sanli, Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Erqiang and his wife returned home.

As soon as Qiao Yicheng came back, he asked, "Dad, why did you call us back in such a hurry? What happened?"

Just now, Qiao Zuwang called the three of them and asked them to come back immediately. They thought something had happened to Qiao Zuwang, so they all hurried back.

"What happened?"

Qiao Zuwang was so angry that he cursed: "Qiao Simei, your good sister, all the good things are hers. What sin did I commit in my life to raise such a thing? What sin, what sin."

Qiao Yicheng and the others were all confused: "Dad, please explain clearly, what happened? What did Simei do?"

They already knew about Qi Chenggang's previous affairs. They advised Qiao Simei to divorce, but Qiao Simei simply didn't listen to them. What else could they do?

"See for yourself what I did."

He threw an envelope in his hand at Qiao Yicheng, then he walked back to the inner room cursing: "Let this stinky girl die outside. Even if I die, I don't want to see her again."

The Qiao siblings took out the letter from the envelope and read it carefully.

In less than a minute, the three siblings all showed expressions of disbelief, and even Zhou Chen was shocked.

"What on earth has gotten into her mind? She is so crazy that she can do such a thing. Qiao Simei, you..."

Qiao Yicheng was so angry that he clenched his hands and coughed continuously. Qiao Simei had done many wrong things before, but this time, her behavior was really intolerable to him.

"For a man like that, she even gave up her own daughter. What on earth was Si Mei thinking?"

Even Qiao Erqiang, who loved his sister the most, didn't know what to say at this moment.

As for Qiao Sanli, after reading the letter, she didn't say anything, but her eyes involuntarily looked at Qi Qiaoqiao who was sitting on the doorstep.

It turned out that this letter was left by Qiao Simei. The general content of the letter was that she and Qi Chenggang would hide outside for a while, and they would come back after the troublemaker stopped causing trouble.

At the same time, she left a message to Qiao Sanli in the letter, hoping that Qiao Sanli could help her take care of her daughter Qi Qiaoqiao, and that she would take Qi Qiaoqiao back home when she returned.

Zhou Chen was really speechless. This Qiao Simei was indeed obsessed with love. It was obviously Qi Chenggang who made a big mistake, but in order to be with Qi Chenggang, she even abandoned her daughter and ran away with Qi Chenggang to seek refuge in another place.

It's fucking outrageous. Encountering something like this, not getting a divorce is already outrageous, but how can someone actually do such a thing?

Hearing Qiao Yicheng still cursing angrily, Qiao Erqiang said, "Brother, it's useless to curse now. They have already left. We need to discuss what to do with Qiaoqiao now."

Qiao Yicheng stopped cursing and looked at Qiao Sanli: "Sanli, although Simei left a letter asking you to take care of Qiaoqiao, I think you are so busy, so you should let Qiaoqiao go back with me. This way, she can keep Xiaojin company."

Things have come to this point and there is no room for maneuver. The most urgent task now is to settle Qi Qiaoqiao.

It would definitely not be a good idea to leave the child to Qiao Zuwang, and he was afraid that Zhou Chen would have a problem with Simei and Qi Chenggang's child, so he thought about taking the child back himself.

Qiao Erqiang said, "Brother, why don't you leave Qiaoqiao to me? You all know that Zhiyong has gone to college, and there are only me and Suqin at home. We have plenty of time and energy to take care of Qiaoqiao. If Qiaoqiao is with us, we can have a child by our side."

"this?"

Qiao Yicheng hesitated. He felt that what Qiao Erqiang said made sense. He and Sanli both had children, but Qiao Erqiang didn't have any. Moreover, Qiao Erqiang was kind-hearted. If Qi Qiaoqiao was handed over to Qiao Erqiang, it would indeed be a good choice.

"Sanli, what do you think?"

Qiao Sanli didn't know how to answer. As Qiao Yicheng said, she was now the president of Chenxing Group and was busy with work most of the time.

Even her own two children are mostly taken care of by the elderly at home. If Qi Qiaoqiao were to go back with her, she would definitely not have much time to take care of them personally.

But in the letter, Qiao Simei entrusted Qi Qiaoqiao to her. If she didn't care and pushed the responsibility to her elder and second brothers, it would be a bit unreasonable.

"Why don't I take her back? Although I don't have much time, I have people at home, including a nanny, and Xiaopingguo and Xiaotangyuan who can play with Qiaoqiao."

"Sanli, just leave her to me. Suqin and I have time to take care of her, and Suqin will definitely like her very much."

Qiao Erqiang really wanted to take Qi Qiaoqiao back home. He and Ma Suqin were no longer planning to have children, but Ma Suqin's son had gone to college and the house was empty. If they had another child at this time, it would be a kind of comfort and sustenance for them.

Qiao Yicheng said, "Sanli, what Erqiang said makes sense. Although Simei asked you to take care of her, a child is a big deal and we can't be careless. After all, Qiaoqiao is only four years old. It will take her a long time to adapt to something like this. What she needs most now is someone to accompany her."

"Brother is right, Sanli, just listen to us."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 529: Qiaoqiao’s whereabouts, Zhou Chen infected with the virus?

The repeated persuasions from the eldest and second brothers made Qiao Sanli a little shaken.

It’s not that she was afraid of trouble, nor that she couldn’t afford to support her, but mainly because she really didn’t have the time, and she was even more worried that the nanny and her family would not be able to take good care of Qi Qiaoqiao.

After all, no matter what, Qi Qiaoqiao is not her biological daughter, so it is impossible to expect her parents-in-law to treat Qi Qiaoqiao like their own grandson.

Unable to make up her mind, she asked Zhou Chen, "Honey, what do you think?"

What could Zhou Chen say but: "I'll listen to you."

Qiao Sanli hesitated even more. It was not that she was afraid that Zhou Chen would oppose her, she just wanted to ask Zhou Chen's opinion. Zhou Chen's answer meant that he really didn't care.

Seeing Qiao Sanli was hesitant, Qiao Erqiang pleaded, "Sanli, just think of it as your second brother asking you for help. Let me take Qiaoqiao back with me. Suqin and I will treat her like our own daughter. You know your second sister-in-law's character very well. She will definitely like Qiaoqiao very much."

In fact, Qiao Yicheng also agreed to hand Qi Qiaoqiao over to Qiao Erqiang. He knew that Qiao Erqiang and his wife would definitely not treat Qi Qiaoqiao badly, but the problem was that Simei entrusted the child to Qiao Sanli, so they had to convince Qiao Sanli.

"Sanli, I have an idea. Since you don't have time to take care of Qiaoqiao, then leave Qiaoqiao to Erqiang. You can give Qiaoqiao living expenses regularly. This way, even if Simei comes back, you can explain."

Zhou Chen was speechless when he heard this. He had no objection to paying to take care of Qiaoqiao, but when he heard at the end that the money was actually given to give an explanation to Qiao Simei, it was simply nonsense.

She entrusted her child to them, and it would have been fine if they didn't give her money, but now she is asking them to pay extra money.

She knew that Qiao Sanli was kind-hearted and would not fail to ask about her daughter, so she dared to leave without restraint.

Qiao Simei is definitely a scumbag, he cheats on his sister and brother.

If Qi Qiaoqiao wasn't too young and so pitiful, he wouldn't have wanted to get involved in this matter at all.

However, Qiao Sanli's eyes lit up, "Second brother, is this okay?"

Qiao Erqiang waved his hands repeatedly: "No need, Sanli, your second sister-in-law and I have no pressure to support Qiaoqiao, and we don't need you to give us living expenses."

Qiao Yicheng stopped him and said, "Erqiang, this is Sanli's gift, and it's also for Qiaoqiao. Not only will she give it, but I will also give a part. Just accept it with peace of mind. It's actually the easiest for the two of us to pay. On the contrary, it's not easy for you to take care of a child right now."

After being persuaded by Qiao Yicheng and Qiao Sanli, Qiao Erqiang finally agreed.

Therefore, the custody of Qi Qiaoqiao was temporarily given to Qiao Erqiang, and Qiao Zuwang was no longer angry after knowing that Qiao Erqiang was going to take Qi Qiaoqiao away.

For him, it was enough that he didn't have to support them or spend any money on them. Once Qiao Simei and the others left, he felt relaxed and at ease.

But he still cursed, but the target of his curse became Qi Chenggang and Qi Chenggang's parents.

Qi Chenggang and his parents are really cold-blooded. They hardly asked about Qiaoqiao since she was born. Now that this has happened, they haven't given any help to Qiao Simei and the others.

At the end of 02, a major event occurred in the country: a huge infectious disease broke out, and in just a few months, it caused extremely serious damage.

This epidemic has brought about tremendous changes in the domestic situation, and the people are in panic, especially the capital, which has become the hardest hit area.

Because the epidemic is serious, Zhou Chen, a well-known domestic scholar and doctor, also took the initiative to apply to go to the capital.

Others are afraid of the pneumonia virus, but Zhou Chen is not. He has the magical skill of immunity, and this virus will definitely not be able to hurt him.

The transfer order has come down, and not only Zhou Chen will go to Jinling Medical College, but many others will go too.

"Hubby, can you please not go?"

Upon learning that Zhou Chen was going to the capital for support, Qiao Sanli spoke to Zhou Chen in an almost pleading tone.

Zhou Chen gently stroked Qiao Sanli's face and said softly, "Sanli, don't worry, I'm going to provide support. Your husband is in good physical condition and will not be infected with the virus. Moreover, when the country is in danger, I can't sit idly by. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. You will definitely understand."

"But we don't want you to go. It's too dangerous there. It's been reported on TV and in the newspapers. If you go to the front line to provide support, the risk is too great."

"We support the country and can donate money, materials, anything, but can you not go?"

Listening to his wife's pleading, Zhou Chen felt very uncomfortable. He knew that he was not afraid of infection, but Qiao Sanli didn't know that, so it was normal for her to worry.

"Some things can't be avoided. I'm your husband and I'm a real man. How can I back down at a time like this?"

"Then I'll go with you."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you go with me? You have to stay and take care of mom and dad, Xiaopingguo and Xiaotangyuan. Be obedient, Sanli. I promise you that I will be back safely in no time."

"No, I don't want you to go..."

Although Qiao Sanli begged again and again, Zhou Chen's decision was not changed. He had studied this virus, and going there to provide support at this time would definitely play a vital role, so he had to go.

Although this is cruel for Qiao Sanli and his family, this is the reality. If no one wants to go and no one is willing to sacrifice, can the epidemic be saved?

After Zhou Chen left Jinling, Qiao Sanli told her relatives and friends about this matter, which made many people very worried.

Zhou Chen had already followed the large force to the capital. Because of his special status, he was treated very well and was soon allowed to participate in experiments and rescue operations.

…………

Zhou family villa.

At this time, Qiao Sanli and the old couple of the Zhou family were sitting on the sofa with worried faces. Qiao Sanli stood up and walked back and forth from time to time.

The reason for this is that Zhou Chen hasn't contacted them for several days.

Ever since Zhou Chen went to the capital to provide support, he would often call them to report his safety and calm their worries, and it would never take more than two days at the latest.

But this time, they hadn't been called for four consecutive days, which made Qiao Sanli and the old couple very anxious.

"Old Zhou, is there any news about the person you are looking for?"

Han Huifang was nearly seventy years old at this time, but because she took good care of herself, she still had black hair and was in good spirits. But at this time she asked her husband anxiously.

Zhou Jianguo said in a deep voice: "I have contacted many people, but the situation in the capital is very complicated now. The hospital where Xiaochen is is very special. People from outside have no way to contact it. I also asked people from the medical school, but they all said they didn't know the situation."

As a two-time winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine, Zhou Chen was immediately noticed after arriving in the capital and joined a research team that studied viruses. His main job was to study viruses and conduct clinical experiments, which outsiders had no access to at all.

Han Huifang asked anxiously, "What should we do? Will something happen to Xiaochen?"

Although Zhou Jianguo was also anxious, he was still calm. When he heard his wife's words, he immediately scolded her in dissatisfaction: "Don't talk nonsense, Xiaochen will be fine. Maybe he was delayed by something. Sanli, is there any news from your eldest brother?"
