Miss Chen?

Was this referring to He Chen? But, wasn't her surname He?

The few Gu family members exchanged looks. Madam Qu was shocked as well but followed the nurse to the hallway, anyway.

The 17th floor looked different from their imagination. It was only when they got closer did they realize that the room close to the hallway wasn't fully enclosed. There were glass windows on two sides of the rooms, and one could see the medical apparatus inside through them.

Qu Zixiao was on the phone with his childhood friend and was stunned when he saw this scene.

“You said you bumped into Guan Chi? In an old district?” Qu Zixiao's childhood friend's voice on the other end of the phone pulled his thoughts back.

Qu Zixiao took his gaze off the scene and slipped away from behind Madam Qu. The nurse leading the way now stopped before a door and politely knocked on it. Qu Zixiao casually said, “I've already sent someone to check. It's still in the hospital. We can only get the results in the afternoon.”

He and his childhood friend had always talked about all things in life, so his friend had already known the previous day that he was accompanying Madam Qu to the doctor.

It would've been alright if this took place some other time, but the Qu Corporation was dealing with urgent matters now. His childhood friend couldn't help but say, “Only you would make the extra trip down with her. The both of you should just divorce sooner so you can save yourself the trouble. Let Aunt say all she wants if she's unhappy.”

The nurse in front opened the door and let the two of them enter.

Qu Zixiao simply went “Mm” and then followed Madam Qu in while thinking about the divorce agreement.

It seemed like…

He needed to find some time to talk to He Chen about it.

Before him, Butler Qu was saying to Madam Qu, “Young Madam is very thoughtful, she must have found you a good…”

He looked up as he said that and saw Dean Cheng standing by the table. Dean Cheng seemed to be speaking very politely to the other party in the seat.

Butler Qu and Madam Qu had come to the hospital countless times. Although they weren't especially close to Dean Cheng, they could strike up a brief conversation with him.

After their initial surprise, their gaze landed on the person in the seat.

His white coat was wide open, and he was sitting diagonally across the bench. Seeing that they had been brought in, he looked up and slowly straightened his posture, causing the light pouring through the windows to light up his face. “Please take a seat.”

He had a pen in one hand while his other hand was busy operating the apparatus. Under the bright white light, one could see his long and slender fingers at work.

Cheng Juan kept a low profile in the industry. His name was heard far and wide even in the capital, but few had seen him in person.

The Qu family had some unhappiness with the Cheng family a while ago, so Qu Zixiao and Madam Qu had seen Cheng Juan before.

But when they saw him this time, both Madam Qu and Qu Zixiao seemed to be caught by surprise. They weren't sure how to react to this, but the first thing that came to their minds was these words—

The Cheng Family Crown Prince.

Two years back, the Cheng family Crown Prince demonstrated his extraordinary talent in the medical field. His reputation skyrocketed when he managed to successfully operate on a “frozen man” whose chances of survival were practically non-existent.

From that point on, he focused solely on complex diseases.

He took on a tough case every few months and would research it, leaving behind precious and useful information for the medical field. Thus far, he'd noted down 10 new skill sets that allowed modern medicine to bring new hope to once “hopeless” cases, providing these supposedly terminally-ill patients a chance at survival.

Nobody knew how he managed to tackle these complex diseases and illnesses. They simply knew that even the Medical Organization labeled him as a miracle in the history of Medicine. One could say that Qin Ran accelerated the advancement of the IT field by 20 years, while he took the medical field to yet another apex.

The Qu family had thought of going to Cheng Juan even a few years back, but Madam Qu's condition was not really a “complex disease” as it could still be kept in control under medication. More importantly… how could the Qu family even be powerful enough to get Cheng Juan's help?

“Y-Young Master…” Butler Qu looked at Cheng Juan who was conducting the check-up for Madam Qu and then turned to Qu Zixiao. He spoke almost mechanically, “The doctor… Young Madam found… was actually Third Young Master Cheng…”

Qu Zixiao was standing by the door and in disbelief as well. He had not hung up the call and was still able to hear the voice of his childhood friend…

Downstairs.

Qin Xiuchen was in the ward when He Chen entered.

He was in a dark blue striped shirt and low-rise jeans, carefully dicing apples and poking toothpicks into them before handing them to Qin Ran.

“We're setting off today?” Qin Ran picked up a toothpick and looked at him.

Qin Xiuchen chuckled and seemed to radiate a warm glow. He gently knocked her on the forehead and affectionately advised her, “It'll take about a month or two. You take good care of yourself so your father won't have to worry.”

“I know.” Qin Ran had one hand behind her head as she leaned back on the headboard. Having finished a piece of the apple, she did not reach for more. Instead, she nibbled on the toothpick.

Qin Xiuchen sized her up. Seeing her like this, he squinted and thought of letting Cheng Juan know about it before leaving.

He turned around and was about to leave when he bumped into He Chen at the door.

Qin Xiuchen nodded politely at her as he put on his mask.

He Chen only tossed the soy milk and buns to Qin Ran after he left. “Catch it.”

Qin Ran caught it perfectly and opened the bag. There was a cup of soy milk and two buns. She spat out her toothpick and took a bite of the bun. It was a mildly seasoned vegetable bun and tasted alright.

But it was short of some meat aroma.

Qin Ran slowed down her eating and looked at He Chen a little expressionlessly. “Are you out to fight me today?”

He Chen did not say anything. Qin Ran slowly took another bite of her bun and side-eyed her. “You won't beat me.”

He Chen was speechless.

She walked over and tore open a bit of the bun. It was another vegetable bun. He Chen said, “Yushan got me to pack some breakfast for her before. She's a vegetarian. I forgot to tell them this time…”

He Chen was rather similar to Qin Ran. Both of them did not have much patience and often just went to any stall that caught their eye. The bun stall downstairs was so popular, and she didn't have the patience to queue to buy it. Hence, she invested five million yuan a few years back in this bun stall; for as long as she was in Beijing, the stall would prepare her breakfast for her.

She had no idea that this stall was already popular nationwide. With her shares in the stall, her net worth was as high as a few hundred million yuan.

The last vegetable bun eventually went to Cheng Mu, who had come down from upstairs.

“Film Emperor Qin is going to Continent M?” He Chen was sitting on the hospital bed and eating an apple casually.

Qin Ran nibbled on the straw this time. “To film ‘The Realm of Gods'.”

He Chen nodded in understanding and reached for another piece of apple.

Cheng Juan's report was out.

He Chen took her cell phone out to see it.

At first glance, she picked up a lot of jargon and couldn't quite understand what they meant. But she did understand the final diagnosis—

Can be treated with surgery.

He Chen finished the apples slowly. She looked at the diagnosis for a few moments before tightening her grip on her cell phone and standing up abruptly. “I can go abroad without worries now. Help me thank Brother-in-law, I'll be looking for Lawyer Qi first.”

She decided to give the 17th floor a miss as she figured that she'd be held back by Madam Qu and Butler Qu if she made an appearance.

Cheng Mu hurriedly swallowed the last mouthful of his bun. “Miss Chen, I'll send you there!”

He Chen gave Qi Chengjun a call and stuck her other hand in her pocket. “Lawyer Qi, I've handed you the documents you want. I'll be going on a business trip tomorrow.”

“Don't worry, leave it to me.” Qi Chengjun sounded serious on the other end.

Cheng Mu stood at the elevator and watched expressionlessly as He Chen smilingly put her cell phone back in her pocket.

The renowned lawyer in the capital who had fought cases with stakes as high as billions of yuan was now handling a divorce case…

The Qu family got a shock from He Chen.

But having waited for a full day, they still did not see He Chen return.

Madam Qu gave He Chen a call. He Chen simply said that she was rushing to go on a business trip. When they headed to He Chen's residence, her neighbors said the same about her going on a trip.

Madam Qu and Butler Qu were not exactly shocked by He Chen's temporary disappearance. However, Qu Zixiao wasn't used to it.

He knew too little about this wife in name.

“For real? She found that Cheng guy? I remember that besides Old Master Cheng who was in the military, the rest of the family was rather scholarly. I didn't expect them to have such connections?”

At night, Qu Zixiao was downing some drinks at the bar, seemingly in deep thought. The few childhood fans around him turned to look at one another in disbelief when they heard the news.

Qu Zixiao shook his head. His cell phone lit up, and he looked through it while saying, “I heard the Butler say that she followed through the entire research process when the Y3 virus broke out in Beijing back then.”

He Chen was a reporter, and his childhood friends knew that. But her field of work was too different from theirs, so they never bothered much about it.

They simply did not expect her to have followed through with the medical research in Beijing.

“It's no wonder she managed to find the Cheng fellow. She must be doing pretty well in her job?” A young man said in shock.

Qu Zixiao had a strange and complex expression on his face. He remembered Madam Qu mentioning that He Chen had received many photography awards before, but he never really thought much about it.

As he thought about it now, he opened the notification on his cell phone. It was from He Chen, who was currently nowhere to be found—

[I've signed the divorce papers, my lawyer will be looking you up tomorrow.]

Nothing more.

Qu Zixiao was stunned to read this message.

He left his cell phone lying on the table and his childhood friend took a glance at it. He was completely shocked by the message. “She signed the divorce papers? Zixiao, you have to hide this from your mom! If she knows about it, you won't be able to get this divorce again! Hold on, could she have told your mom already? Hurry and ask her!”
