Even if not her birth mother, she had raised him. Moreover, Jin Qing treated him very well, making time to accompany him and attend school events despite her busy work schedule.
Recalling this now, Chu Yu suddenly realized that Chu Wei Xian's machinations were all to ensure he could take care of himself. His mother had handed over many of her work responsibilities to him, which allowed Chu Wei Xian to establish a firm footing in the company.
In terms of business acumen, Chu Wei Xian was nowhere near Jin Qing's level. Jin Qing was a natural businesswoman, while Chu Wei Xian, despite years of study, was barely passing.
Therefore, to bring Jin Qing down, giving her a child would be enough to divert most of her energy.
The more he thought about it, the more complex his emotions became.
"Will I get all her assets if we divorce? I endured humiliation to marry her and have wasted my prime years with the Jin family. I want everything! Never mind that, Chu Yu, you must help me. Go to the hospital quickly. No matter what it takes, don't let her have a full body scan! Hurry!" Chu Wei Xian said urgently.
"I'm not going. If you want to go, go yourself. I don't want her to die!" Chu Yu hung up the phone immediately.
He suddenly felt irritable and annoyed. He found Chu Wei Xian terrifying. Was he really the son of such a person? Had he truly calculated everything, including every life, even considering his own son as a pawn in his game!
Chu Yu was extremely vexed and drove off to find a place to drink.
In his desperation, Chu Wei Xian had no choice but to rush to the hospital himself.
When he arrived at the hospital, under Jin Lan's arrangements, Jin Qing had already undergone a full examination, though the results were not yet ready.
Jin Lan had found an experienced senior doctor, and the two were consulting on her condition.
The senior doctor, who also practiced traditional Chinese medicine, was taking her pulse.
"Have you been sleeping poorly lately, with palpitations?"
"Yes, I have. But I'm already in my forties, isn't it normal to have these issues at my age?" Jin Qing indeed had developed several ailments, but she had always attributed them to aging and never considered anything else.
"This is not normal at all. You are truly careless. Jin Lan, your sister's condition requires attention." After taking her pulse, the senior doctor stated that Jin Qing's health was problematic and needed proper recuperation.
"Are you also experiencing significant hair loss?"
"My hair falls out in clumps every day."
"Elder Zhao, what exactly is wrong with my sister?" Jin Lan asked anxiously.
"Let's wait for the results to come out. Her body is indeed facing issues. Young people these days are just too careless. This is not a minor matter!" the senior doctor said, shaking his head.
"It's not a terminal illness, is it?" Jin Qing also became frightened by their words.
"Sis, don't scare yourself! It's unlikely to be terminal. The results will be out tomorrow. I'll take a look then. You should go back and rest properly, take a few days off. The company won't collapse without you for a few days." Jin Lan looked at her sister's somewhat weathered face, feeling a pang in her heart. Their parents had intended for him to take over the company, but he had stubbornly insisted on studying medicine, leaving his sister to shoulder the family's heavy burden.
His sister was more than ten years older than him. For all these years, she had been the one supporting him. He was truly too selfish. Jin Lan wished he could slap himself a few times.
Li Xuan had been accompanying the siblings and had been very helpful. Jin Lan thought he was a good person and proactively added him on WeChat, asking him to help look after his sister and prevent her from overworking.
Li Xuan immediately agreed and then listed several of Jin Qing's 'transgressions'. After hearing them, Jin Lan launched a comprehensive critique of his sister.
