Lin Wanqing took the car to Peach Blossom Spring Villa and just arrived at the ground floor lobby, where she saw Xiaomai waiting for her.

She noticed near a window in the lobby, there was indeed a piano there.

"This is a Yamaha piano, a famous brand. Did Ye Qiu just buy it?"

"He bought it online when he came back this afternoon, and it was sent over just now."

Lin Wanqing touched it and could immediately tell this piano wasn’t cheap!

Ye Qiu was generous enough to give Xiaomai a piano but never mentioned giving one to her. Could it be that she was not as important in Ye Qiu’s mind compared to Xiaomai?

As Lin Wanqing carefully touched the piano, Xiaomai said, "Ye Qiu just taught me how to play music scores on the piano, but I don’t have any scores."

"You just said, let me give you a music score book."

Lin Wanqing herself had many such music score books, some of which she had memorized.

Ye Qiu asked her to memorize a hundred piano pieces, and she had already mastered sixty of them. She could even play those sixty pieces easily without even glancing at the scores.

Now seated in front of the piano, Lin Wanqing said, "Xiaomai, may I try playing a bit?"

"Of course, you can."

When Lin Wanqing sat down, it was just like long hours spent touching computer keyboards; she was very familiar with it.

This grand piano looked much more upscale compared to an upright piano, which Lin Wanqing had played before. Now she was looking at the grand piano.

Soon, she became familiar with it.

The beautiful piano music echoed, leaving Xiaomai utterly enchanted. She admired Lin Wanqing, who came from a prestigious family, a stark contrast to Xiaomai’s upbringing in an orphanage.

Also, Xiaomai knew that Lin Wanqing’s parents were university music professors.

Ye Qiu was upstairs playing games, and upon hearing the piano, he didn’t need to come down to check. From the music, he recognized it was Lin Wanqing playing.

It wasn’t until past seven in the evening, when Xiaomai came up to ask him to go downstairs to eat, that Ye Qiu descended to the lobby and saw Lin Xiang had returned as well.

"What’s wrong? Don’t you recognize me?" Lin Wanqing asked.

"Miss Lin, when I heard the piano, I immediately knew you were here."

Lin Wanqing pouted.

This bastard gives Xiaomai a piano but won’t get one for her.

During dinner, Lin Wanqing seemed still a bit upset.

However, Ye Qiu offered to drive Lin Wanqing home. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

When they got in the car, looking at Lin Wanqing’s expression, Ye Qiu knew what she was thinking.

"I could get you a piano too, but your house isn’t big enough; what’s the point in buying one?"

Not big enough?

What’s the point in buying one?

Her parents’ apartment was only about ninety square meters, with three bedrooms, a living room, and a dining room. Indeed, it was cramped compared to Ye Qiu’s villa.

Now Lin Wanqing seemed to understand a bit.

But in Jinling, buying a big house would start at millions, wouldn’t it?

Lin Wanqing wasn’t sure how much money her parents had, but she knew they wouldn’t change houses just because of a piano.

This apartment was once a welfare house allocated by Jinling University, but now, such houses are only available to extremely talented hires; other professors don’t get such benefits anymore.

To live in a big house, one can only make money to buy one themselves.

After Ye Qiu drove Lin Wanqing back to the faculty dormitory, she got out, and Ye Qiu drove away.

Returning to the Peach Blossom Source Villa area, Ye Qiu parked the car and then went upstairs.

Meanwhile, at a tertiary hospital, Zhu Yunhui was diagnosed with mid-stage lung cancer, and the cancer cells had already begun to spread and metastasize.

Now Zhu Yunhui had to receive treatment as soon as possible; even surgery wouldn’t be timely, leaving only radiotherapy or chemotherapy as options.

Yesterday, Vice Mayor Zhu went to the hospital and, upon learning of his son’s condition, said nothing, spent two hours with Zhu Yunhui, then returned to the municipal government.

This news deeply impacted Vice Mayor Zhu.

Yet, such things can’t be avoided, only urging his son to start treatment quickly.

After initially wailing in grief while hugging her husband, Zhu Yunhui’s mother gradually accepted the situation, and now it was only Zhu Yunhui who was unaware.

However, Zhu Yunhui already felt something was off with his body.

"Madam, I suggest you transfer him to the Affiliated Hospital for treatment. I’ve heard their success rate for treating cancer is quite high," Li, the director, said to Zhu Yunhui’s mother.

"Really?"

"That’s what I’ve heard."

This hospital is a tertiary-level hospital as well, but isn’t specialized in cancer treatment.

Every hospital has its specialty, and this one excels in pediatrics and surgery but not in cancer treatment.

Although it can treat cancer, Director Li couldn’t guarantee the effectiveness.

Thus, Zhu Yunhui’s mother would most likely schedule her son to be transferred to the Affiliated Hospital.

After Director Li coordinated with Director Zhou at the Affiliated Hospital, he told Zhu Yunhui’s mother, "Madam, I’ve contacted Director Zhou over there. He said everything’s set up in a separate high-end ward. Your son can be transferred now."

"Thank you very much, Director Li."

said Zhu Yunhui’s mother.

Hospital staff lifted Zhu Yunhui onto the ambulance and headed to Jinling Affiliated Hospital.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Affiliated Hospital, shortly afterward, medical staff came out to help bring Zhu Yunhui inside.

Once settled into the separate high-end ward, Director Zhou and the attending physicians arrived, learning Zhu Yunhui was in mid-stage lung cancer with spread cells.

This indicated a very critical situation.

"Madam, rest assured. Our hospital will arrange an expert group to diagnose and treat Mr. Zhu with the best possible methods."

"I’ve heard your hospital’s cancer treatment success rate is high?" Zhu Yunhui’s mother asked curiously.

"How should I say?" Zhou Peng replied.

If they could invite Dr. Ye Qiu here for treatment, the cure rate would be one hundred percent.

If not, it’s only slightly better than other hospitals.

"Director Zhou, is there anything difficult for you?"

"It’s just that if our hospital can bring Dr. Ye here, your son, Mr. Zhu, might have a chance to recover completely. Otherwise, the cure rate isn’t very promising."

Currently, Zhou Peng is the director of Jinling Hospital, having succeeded Zhang Weimin, thanks to connections with Li Zhiguo and Ye Qiu.

However, it’s been a while since he contacted Ye Qiu.

No idea what Ye Qiu is busy with now?

"Director Zhou, please call Dr. Ye over quickly!"
