A great director who grew up happily

Liu Zheng placed the packed food on the dining table and went to the kitchen. He saw the two of them each holding a knife and fighting with the dried pineapple in their hands. "Da Yangzi, Jinnian, you two are busy."

The two of them turned their heads to look at Liu Zheng at the same time, their faces expressionless, as if they were looking at some magical species, their eyes revealing a bit of concern and confusion.

Only then did Liu Zheng realize how stupid what he had just said was. He wished he could slap himself hard a few times to save his short-circuited brain.

"No... um..." Liu Zheng wanted to explain, to prove that he wasn't mentally retarded, but he gave up. "Big Yangzi, you go ahead and do your work. Jinnian, come here for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Chen Jinnian put down the knife and said to Ji Yangyang, "I'm going to get two oranges. You stay here and don't move."

"Get lost." Ji Yangyang cursed, and he knew what he meant the moment he heard it.

Boys’ friendship is so pure. You treat me as a brother, and I just want to be your father.

Chen Jinnian dodged Ji Yangyang's kick, ran out of the kitchen, and followed Liu Zheng to the balcony on the easternmost side.

"What's wrong, Uncle Liu? What do you want to talk to me about?" He said after wiping his hands with a tissue.

"It's the same thing as last time. The test results came out two days ago. The lesion area has become much smaller. Even the doctor was surprised and said he had never seen such a situation before." Liu Zheng said in a low voice.

"This is a good thing." Chen Jinnian replied.

"That's a good thing, but I'd like to discuss with you whether to continue with surgical resection or radiotherapy." Liu Zheng asked. They haven't made up their minds yet.

Chen Jinnian had received a system prompt. He knew that the pill was actually effective, but because he had wasted his time practicing it, its efficacy was much worse than that of a normal disease-eliminating pill and it did not completely eliminate the cancer. However, even if there were some left, they would probably not continue to grow and affect Liu Jing's lifespan.

But he couldn't say it directly, so he thought for a moment and said, "You still have to listen to the doctor for the specific treatment plan. I don't know anything about this. But since the medicine has taken effect, you can wait and see how it progresses. Maybe surgery won't be necessary."

"Yes, I will definitely have regular check-ups." Liu Zheng nodded. This is also a solution. If the condition can be controlled to the current state, there is really no need for surgery.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? Come and have dinner." Ji Yangyang shouted.

"It's okay, I'll be there right away." Liu Zheng responded quickly.

However, Chen Jinnian looked at Liu Zheng's slightly panicked state and asked with some doubt: "Haven't you told Yang Yang about Aunt Liu Jing's illness yet?"

"No, my sister and brother-in-law didn't want Da Yangzi to know, for fear of affecting him, so I didn't tell him."

"I think Yang Yang should know. After all, he is Aunt Liu Jing's only son. This is his right. Besides, we are not as fragile as you think." Chen Jinnian did not think this approach was right, even though he saw similar news on the Internet every year.

"Uncle Liu, don't you think this is also an opportunity for them to reconcile?"

Liu Zheng looked at the family of three busy at the dining table in the living room. Although they were talking and laughing, they didn't feel like a family.

"I'll ask my sister later. If the family reconciles because of this incident, it can be considered a blessing in disguise."

The two returned to the living room. Liu Jing took Chen Jinnian's hand and asked him to sit next to her. "I don't know what he likes to eat, so I just made some. Liu Zheng also just bought some, let's try it."

"Yes, Jinnian, don't be polite. Just treat this as your own home."

Ji Shengli also spoke up and said that it was he who suggested choosing the venue at home instead of just finding a hotel outside, which would seem too insincere.

"Haha, okay, don't worry about me. I'm not picky about food and I'm not shy." Chen Jinnian said with a smile, looking very familiar.

Not long after everyone sat down, Liu Zheng found an opportunity to call out his sister Liu Jing, obviously wanting to talk about what had just been discussed. After a while, Ji Shengli also followed.

Ji Yangyang on the side didn't pay attention to these things, because in the two years here, Liu Zheng often invited them to dinner, and today he just added his parents to the mix.

His parents were not around, so he nudged Chen Jinnian with his elbow and asked, "Tomorrow is Wang Yidi's birthday. How's your gift preparation going? Do you need any help?"

"Yes, of course I'm ready. You should go and show your support tomorrow. It will be more lively with more people." Chen Jinnian said.

Tomorrow is Wang Yidi's eighteenth birthday, and it happens to be during the National Day holiday, so he planned a party to celebrate.

"By the way, Huang Zhitao will also be here tomorrow, so you must seize the opportunity."

Hearing Chen Jinnian's malicious words, Ji Yangyang smiled shyly, "Don't worry about our affairs, just take care of your own."

"Oh, it's us. We've united our front so quickly. It seems something happened these two days." Chen Jinnian raised his eyebrows.

It seems that Ji Yangyang is also good at this, or it can be said that Ji Yangyang happens to be the type that Huang Zhitao likes.

"Eat your meal." After being exposed, Ji Yangyang became angry and embarrassed. He pushed the whole plate of food in front of him and told him to stop talking.

Just as the two were discussing where to go after dinner tomorrow, the three people who had gone out came back and sat down.

Ji Shengli opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He didn't know how to talk to his son. Although he was a bureau-level cadre and was decisive in his words and deeds outside, he was really scared to talk to his son at home.

Liu Jing held his hand and motioned him to speak slowly.

"Son, weren't you wondering some time ago why your mother was on a business trip? Actually, that was not a business trip, but a trip to the hospital for a check-up." Ji Shengli said.

"What, Mom, are you okay?" Ji Yangyang became very excited when he heard it and slammed his chopsticks on the table.

Liu Jing and Ji Shengli looked at each other, and then slowly told Ji Yangyang everything that had happened during this period.

After learning that his mother had cancer and that the cancer had been temporarily under control, Ji Yangyang seemed at a loss and sat in his chair in a daze.

After a long time, Ji Yangyang grabbed Chen Jinnian and said, "Do you still have that medicine? Will it get better if I take another one?"

"All medicines are poisonous. If you take one more, you will die. Do you think you can take this kind of thing casually?" He directly killed Ji Yangyang's fantasy.

"Also, I hope this matter will never be mentioned again. Even if you ask me in the future, I won't admit it. Medicine, what medicine? I have never seen such a thing."

Seeing Chen Jinnian shaking his head and pretending to be confused, Ji Yangyang was very confused and wanted to continue asking, but was stopped by Liu Zheng. They all already understood what he meant.

Sometimes when dealing with smart people, there is no need to be too direct.

Looking at their reactions, Chen Jinnian knew that they had already come up with suitable excuses in their minds.

I couldn't help but feel happy. This lie finally came to an end for him. It should be said or not. This way of patching things up is really great.
