Chapter 413 Qiao Yuhan
Ling Yun bit her lips, had sadness in her eyes, and never thought that such a thing had happened at that time.
She nodded to show her understanding. “I see. I will take care of it.”
The two of them caressed each other for a few more moments before Ding Ning took a bath and left refreshed.
That night he went to Executive Zhou’s appointment and met the newly appointed executive Zhong Qixiang of Changjiang Hospital.
Being the former president of Ninghai Medical College, Zhong Qixiang was a shrewd man of more than 50 years old. He praised Ding Ning a lot and had been seeking to build ties with him through flattering words.
Mutual respect contributes to good human communication. Since the man talked with smiles, Ding Ning could not put on airs. Thus, their meeting was friendly.
After dinner, Ding Ning declined their suggestion on going out to play, went straight to Purple Star Pavilion Club, sent Prince Hengli the jade carving with the shape of the Yingguo Queen holding a peach of longevity he made in his spare time with the emerald, and also asked Holman for an autograph and took it to Uncle Zhang.
With the address Secretary Xu gave him, he then hastened to Swan Lake Community to treat Qiao Zhenya.
Although Qiao Zhenya was found sick, there was no way for the hospital to treat this disease. So, he did not go to the hospital but went straight back to his residence in Swan Lake Community.
“You are finally here. Sorry to bother you.”
Qiao Qiao opened the door, looking a little unnatural.
Ding Ning nodded indifferently. Since Qiao Qiao wanted to keep a distance from him, he would not try to approach her.
Out of the benevolence of a doctor, he came to treat Qiao Zhenya, and this was also a way to end the relationship between him and Qiao Qiao.
As expected, at Qiao Zhenya’s home, Ding Ning finally saw Qiao Qiao’s father Qiao Yuhan, the old guy whom he had been hating for more than a year.
With the help of the hacker Wu Xian, he could easily get the background information of Qiao Yuhan.
Qiao Yuhan, who was 56 this year, was the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the multinational group Huanyu Group, which was one of the top 100 Chinese enterprises ranked 27th on Hurun Rich List, and his assets had reached up to 100 billion. These were the assets shown in public, but his hidden assets could not be estimated.
That was why he insulted Ding Ning so arrogantly in the face and trampled on his dignity at that time.
Since Ding Ning was refined by the Spell of Savage Soldier’s Body, his mentality had long changed. What was the point no matter how many assets he had? As long as he had powerful strength, he could make as much money as he wanted.
Apart from anything else, only when Rice Bean Oral Solution went public would the pharmaceutical companies around the world come to his door and talk to him on cooperation. Even the Shenzhou government could not take away his patent.
More importantly, he also had the newly developed anti-rejection drug and traditional Chinese medicine anesthesia. Only by selling their agent rights to the whole world each year could he become one of the richest in the world in a short time.
Money was just a number for him now, and could no longer stir up any waves in his mind.
When Qiao Yuhan, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, saw the expressionless Ding Ning, he stood up out of politeness to show he welcomed him, but the pride in his bone was still hard to hide. He said a little unhappily, “Doctor Ding, it was really hard to phone you.”
Ding Ning raised his brows and sneered. “I don’t like answering strangers’ calls.”
“Humph, you just want to sell your skill with a good price, don’t you? Say it, how much do you want? I’ll write you a check now.”
With a high position and great power, Qiao Yuhan disliked Ding Ning. Although he was the Chairman of Huanyu Group, he had been beaten by this lowly young man, so he was quite angry.
“Money? Is it great to have money? Can you heal your son’s disease because you have money? Then, invite a more excellent one with your money.”
Ding Ning did not want to swallow the insult and turned around to leave without taking a look at him.
“Father, what are you doing? He is the only one who can save Zhenya.”
Looking gloomy, Qiao Qiao hurriedly took Ding Ning’s arm and looked at him imploringly. “Ding Ning, my father has a bad temper. Don’t take his attitude so seriously, please.”
Seeing that she was about to cry, Ding Ning softened his heart and slowed down subconsciously.
Qiao Yuhan’s face turned dark. In the business world, he could always do whatever he wanted, and no one had ever dared to show him his unhappiness. Even if this was related to his son’s life, he could not bend his knees to ask a little doctor for help.
If he had not consulted the world’s top medical experts, who could do nothing about Qiao Zhenya’s disease, and he had to rely on Ding Ning to treat his son, he would break Ding Ning’s leg right now.
But now he had to swallow his anger. With a cold snort, he straightened his face, turned around, and walked into his study, keeping an indifferent attitude.
With anger in his eyes, Ding Ning clenched his fist and swore silently, “Qiao Yuhan, I will make you lower your noble head before me.”
“Ding Ning, I apologize for my father. Please forgive him.”
Qiao Qiao made a solemn bow to apologize.
Ding Ning shook his head and looked at her eyes carefully. “Qiao Qiao, you don’t need to apologize to me. I promised to treat your younger brother. First, I am a doctor; second, we are classmates; third, I misunderstood you. This is like paying off my debt. After I cure your brother’s disease, we will not be creditor and debtor anymore or have any connections from then on.”
Qiao Qiao was shocked, felt the throb in her heart, bit her red lips, staggered two steps back, had a mist in her beautiful eyes, and lowered her head to smile miserably. “Right, what else can I hope for? No matter what, thank you.”
“Where is your brother?”
Ding Ning asked indifferently.
“In the bedroom, let me take you in.”
Speaking of real business, Qiao Qiao cheered herself up and pointed at the door of one bedroom.
When the door was pushed open, they saw Qiao Zhenya wearing headphones to listen to the music, with his eyes closed lying on the bed. As the music went, his hands and feet shook.
“Zhenya, Zhenya, Ding Ning has come to treat your disease.”
Qiao Qiao took off Qiao Zhenya’s earphones and said softly.
In just a few days, Qiao Zhenya’s hair had begun to whiten and the wrinkles on his face had made him look like a middle-aged man of 40 to 50 years old. His aging speed was much faster than Ding Ning imagined.
“Sister-in-law, you’ve come!”
Seeing Ding Ning, Qiao Zhenya grinned, but his address shocked Ding Ning.
Qiao Qiao blushed and feigned anger. “What are you talking about? Don’t make wrong calls.”
“Well, well, I see. Sister, please leave. I’m an adult now, and it is not convenient to treat me when you are here.”
Qian Zhenya got up extremely flexibly from the bed, pushed Qiao Qiao out, and closed the door behind him.
He winked at Ding Ning and said, “Sister-in-law, do you like my sister?”
Ding Ning was stunned and shook his head with a bitter smile. “Your sister and I are just ordinary classmates. You think too much.”
This guy was a really simple man. He didn’t have too many days to live, but he still cared about such trivialities.
“No way. Even if you don’t like my sister, you should have a good opinion of her at least, right?”
Qiao Zhenya didn’t believe him, pursed his lips, and said unconvinced.
“Good opinion? Of course, I have. Anyway, your sister was once a civilian school beauty queen.”
Ding Ning said a little ironically.
Qiao Zhenya suddenly whispered seriously, “Brother-in-law, I’m sure my sister likes you. After graduation for a year, so many people pursued her, but she has never taken a serious look at them. My family forced her to have blind dates, but she refused with her life as a threat.”
Qiao Zhenya had a little sadness that came from the depth of his heart. “Being born in such a big family like ours is a kind of sadness because we can’t control our happiness. Although my sister has never said it, I know that she has been having someone in her heart, but I didn’t know who he is until I met you, and then I knew that person must be you.”
Ding Ning’s heart beat nervously. Although Qiao Qiao and he had been reserved and never talked about love, he had to admit that Qiao Qiao was the first girl whom he really adored. She was the only girl he liked in his infatuated adolescent years and could be regarded as his first love.
The result was sad, and that was his emotional entanglement. When he suddenly heard Qiao Zhenya say so, no wonder he was excited.
But reason woke him up soon, and he ridiculed himself, “No way. Even if your sister has someone in her heart, that one is not me.”
“I’m sure that one is you, absolutely!”
Qiao Zhenya looked at him with very clear eyes. “Otherwise, my sister would not have been following your Weibo account.”
“We registered Weibo accounts together at school. Probably, she forgot to unfollow me.”
Ding Ning was in a mess. “Has she been following my Weibo account? Why? Does she really like me?
“No Way. If she really liked me, she would not have disappeared from me without giving an explanation at that time. Ding Ning, wake up, don’t dream about it.”
Qiao Zhenya stared at him. “Brother-in-law, don’t doubt it. I know my sister best. If she didn’t like you, she would not have been waiting for you, waiting for you to grow, waiting for you to get the qualification of marrying her and then pursue her.”
“Enough. There is no such thing as a qualification in love. If she really liked me, she would have tried to stay with me in spite of everything, but I saw nothing of her love. Don’t talk about it anymore. Now let me treat your disease. After the treatment, we will take our different paths, as if we have never met each other.”
Ding Ning’s face turned dark. He violently interrupted him and took his wrist to feel his pule.
“I can choose not to be treated, but I beg of you to treat my sister a little better. Do you agree?”
Qiao Zhenya’s eyes misted with tears. He did his best to sit up, tore his hair, and said with agony, “My sister has done too much for me. In our family, boys are raised with poor conditions, and girls are raised with good conditions. Each one of us boys will have to begin to experience the poor life of the grassroots from 16 and train our independent living ability, but because of my disease, my sister replaced me to have lived six years of poor life. She had to earn her living expenses, tuition fees, and all other fees by working. I made her suffer, I made her suffer, and I feel quite sorry. Without my damning disease, my sister would not have had to take the responsibility that I should have taken.”
Seeing Qiao Zhenya’s tearful look, Ding Ning couldn’t help being moved. “Qiao Qiao, what kind of girl are you? Why can I never see you through? Why do you never want to open up to me?”
Ding Ning patted Qiao Zhenya’s shoulder lightly and said gently, “All these things have passed, and you will recover. If you think you owe your sister something, you should stand up like a real man, to shelter your sister from the wind and rain, protect her, and take care of her.”
“Can I really recover, brother-in-law?”
Qiao Zhenya wiped away his tears and took a child’s clear look at him, with hope and anticipation in it.
Ding Ning gave a smile. “You know your sister keeps an eye on my Weibo account every moment, so you should know that my medical skills are excellent. Don’t worry. Since you can call me brother-in-law, I must cure you.”
“Okay, as long as you can cure me, I will only treat you as my brother-in-law in my lifetime.”
Qiao Zhenya said childishly, making Ding Ning smile bitterly. Excessive energy had consumed too much of his vitality, so Ding Ning wondered if his IQ had become lower than that of a normal adult. “Is the brother-in-law you approved the lawful one?”
In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Ding Ning blocked his meridians with the Meridian Severing Hand, getting him into the anesthetic state.
