Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract
Chapter 156 Trembling with Fear
"Grandma, Auntie, no need. I was just worried about Xiaohan." Li Zhicheng's voice was much softer. He was afraid of offending them, so he had to choose his words carefully.
Seeing the president so cautious, Li Jun felt sorry for him. He, a high and mighty president, was now becoming so apprehensive because of Miss Shen. If dating and getting married would change the course of his life, he thought he should give up.
"Our Xiaohan has no special relationship with you, yet you still care so much, thank you so much." Shen Feng's voice turned cold. Although she felt that there was something unspeakable between her and Li Zhicheng, she still did not want to break the vow she had made.
"Well, Auntie is joking. We all live in Xicheng, so it's only natural for us to care about each other." Li Zhicheng felt awkward. Why did he feel that Shen Feng's hostility towards him was getting deeper and deeper?
"But you are not the same kind of people."
"Mom, we're eating now, why are you saying all this? Come on, eat more. You really like this braised pork ribs, don't you?" Shen Menghan said, picking up a piece for her.
"What a coincidence! I also love braised pork ribs, Auntie. I never expected our tastes to be so similar." Li Zhicheng smiled, his face beaming with joy.
In Shen Menghan's eyes, he said that to please his mother, and even Shen Feng thought so.
But Li Zhicheng really liked it, as Li Jun, who was by his side, could attest; whenever there was braised pork ribs, his appetite was particularly good.
Seeing that they were talking, Qin Fengjiao put a piece on her plate for her grandmother as well: "Our grandmother also likes to eat this. Mr. Li, do you think we should leave it all for Grandma and Auntie?" Although she was being provocative, this was giving him a chance to show off.
“Okay, as long as Auntie and Grandma like it, I’ll eat the other things.” He quickly agreed.
Qin Fengjiao gives him a perfect score of 100!
Shen Menghan felt that he was so frustrated and it made her feel bad. It seemed that she had to find a time to resolve the knot in her grandmother's and mother's hearts as soon as possible, otherwise he would definitely suffer internal injuries if he continued to suppress his feelings.
Li Jun glared at Qin Fengjiao, thinking she was just a busybody. What did this have to do with her? The president likes to eat but can't let others eat? If it were him, he wouldn't stoop so low.
Soon, this awkward dinner came to an end.
As Shen Menghan and the others were preparing to go back, Li Zhicheng said, "I have something to do at the hospital. We'll see each other there later."
After getting into the car, Shen Fengke directly questioned, "Xiaohan, did he make an appointment with you?" Don't think she's too old to see through things.
"Mom, no, I originally wanted to book the Bagui private room. If you don't believe me, I'll show you the information." Shen Menghan said, reaching out to hand over her phone.
"Okay, I believe you. But don't forget what I said: our relationship can only be professional."
"Auntie, why don't you like Mr. Li? I think he's a good person. Although he's quite serious at the company, he's actually quite easy to get along with in private." Qin Fengjiao turned to look at her, feeling that this was really too strange.
"Does disliking someone necessarily require a reason?" Shen Feng asked her suspiciously.
"Yes, there definitely is. If it's inconvenient for you to say, just pretend I didn't ask." Qin Fengjiao quickly changed the subject, backing down.
Seeing how agitated her aunt was, she dared not say anything more.
Shen Menghan had already told her that her mother must have something she couldn't say, but she still insisted on asking. Now she's hit a brick wall.
Li Zhicheng and Li Jun sat in the back, while the driver drove in front. As for the lawyer consultant, he had already been sent away.
Seeing that he had a calm expression and didn't seem to be in any great emotion, Li Jun mustered up his courage and asked, "President, you really like Miss Shen, but her family is really going too far. Why do they keep giving you attitude? I think you have to give them the same attitude, otherwise they'll have you completely under their thumb."
"What do you know?" Li Zhicheng shut him down with a single sentence: "You've never liked anyone."
Li Jun felt that his words were too hurtful. Does being single mean you have to accept other people's love and tragedy?
Upon arriving at the hospital, the attending physician was already at work. Shen Feng had actually been mentally prepared. She let Shen Menghan go in first and reminded her, "Your grandmother's health hasn't been very good lately. If there's bad news, you need to be prepared."
"Mom, have you been hiding something from me before?" Shen Menghan immediately stared at her sensitively. In recent years, her mother had always been hesitant to speak, and she was worried that her grandmother's health might have really deteriorated.
"No, not at all." Shen Feng avoided her gaze; even if there had been any, it was all in the past.
Qin Fengjiao nudged her. This wasn't the time to settle scores, and besides, if her aunt really had something to hide from her, she believed it was something she couldn't help.
After the two women went inside, the doctor asked them to sit down and then explained the report to them.
"The bones have decayed to the third level. If she doesn't accept having a steel rod inserted inside, I'm afraid she will have a hard time standing up again in this lifetime."
"What does this mean? Could it be bone cancer?" Shen Menghan didn't understand these things, and hearing him describe it as so serious, she almost fainted from fright.
"No, but it's still very pessimistic. Surgery is the best option; otherwise, if the decay spreads to the thigh, amputation will be necessary." The doctor pointed to the X-ray, which was very clear under the light.
"Will she definitely be able to stand up after the pillar is placed? Will there be any aftereffects?" Shen Menghan felt that as long as there was a sliver of hope, they couldn't give up. Her grandmother had been lying down for so long, and she believed that her grandmother herself really wanted to stand up.
"There shouldn't be any aftereffects, but given your age, this surgery is riskier for you than for younger people. You should discuss it carefully before making a decision." After saying that, the doctor looked at the scans again.
"Surgery always carries some risks. How big are these risks?" Shen Menghan was already getting anxious.
"About 20-30%, since it's a foot, it's safer than other parts of the body."
After hearing this, Shen Menghan felt much calmer. It was better to have a chance than to keep lying there. However, she needed to think of a tactful way to tell her grandmother.
"Doctor, should I have the surgery here or go to a more authoritative place? Will you be the surgeon or will there be a specialist?" Qin Fengjiao asked herself.
"If you're not satisfied with my surgery, you can always find someone else." The doctor seemed somewhat displeased.
"No, no, you're the expert! I just didn't understand, so I was asking. Doctor, please don't misunderstand." Qin Fengjiao quickly apologized. She already knew that Li Zhicheng had arranged the best expert doctor for her when she came, so she didn't dare to complain. She was just testing him.
