My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife

"At... at your Aunt Zhou's place!"

Qin Jianjun said, his expression somewhat unnatural.

"She didn't give you money for the health check-up?"

Qin Yu frowned and asked.

Qin Yu could understand entrusting money to his wife, but giving his father only two hundred yuan for a check-up at a major city hospital seemed excessive.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"She also came, went shopping with Nannan and the grandson, I thought it wouldn't be much, so I didn't call her!"

Qin Jianjun explained.

"Then I'll give you the money, go get checked first!"

Without asking anything further, Qin Yu understood that the man before him was, after all, his own father, and had raised him for over a decade. It was only right for him as a son to contribute to several thousand yuan for his sick father's needs.

Drip...

Qin Yu made a payment of three thousand eight hundred yuan using WeChat pay.

"Xiao Yu... when your Aunt Zhou arrives, I'll have her pay you back!"

Qin Jianjun knew he hadn't fulfilled his responsibilities as a father; how could he have the nerve to let his son, Qin Yu, help with the check-up fees?

"No need to pay back. What's between you and Mom is your generation's affair. No matter what, I am still your son!"

After saying this, Qin Yu supported Qin Jianjun's arm: "Let's go, time for the check-up!"

"Ah...."

Qin Jianjun blinked, his eyes reddening a bit.

Afterward, the father and son arrived at the fourth-floor examination room, and after some hassle, they would have to wait an hour for the results.

So they sat on the corridor bench, waiting patiently.

Shortly after, Qin Jianjun's phone rang. He answered with "on the fourth floor, Xiao Yu is also here" and then put down the phone, sheepishly saying, "Your Aunt Zhou is a bit impatient, hangs up faster than anyone!"

"Oh..."

Qin Yu responded indifferently.

If it weren't for the relationship with his father, Aunt Zhou, Aunt Li— to him, they'd all be strangers.

Whether they had a good temperament or a bad one, it had nothing to do with him.

Ding dong...

As the elevator doors opened, a fashionable middle-aged woman wearing a black dress and a pearl necklace, likely the Aunt Zhou, Zhou Cuiping mentioned by his father, stepped out with her daughter, Zhou Nannan, and a boy around five or six years old.

"Xiaobo, how are the shoes, do they fit well?"

Zhou Nannan, holding the little boy's hand, asked as they exited the elevator.

"Yeah, these shoes are so comfortable!"

The little boy nodded.

"Xiaobo, these are branded shoes, you know. Grandma spent over a thousand on them, of course they're comfortable!"

Zhou Cuiping patted the little boy's head, her face full of doting.

"Grandma, when will you buy that drone for me?"

The little boy tilted his head and asked.

"Xiaobo, why buy a drone? It costs over six thousand, it's too expensive!"

Zhou Nannan scolded with wide eyes, but her tone changed immediately: "It's expensive, but if the other kids have it and Xiaobo doesn't, he might feel left out. Mom... see what you think!"

"Buy, of course, we'll buy. Our Xiaobo can't be worse than other kids!"

Zhou Cuiping said without hesitation.

"Now say thank you to Grandma!"

Zhou Nannan tapped the little boy on the head.

"Thank you, Grandma!"

The little boy said joyfully.

The three of them chatted away and soon arrived in front of Qin Jianjun and his son.

After giving Qin Yu a once-over, Zhou Cuiping said coolly, "You are Qin Yu?"

"Yes, he is Xiao Yu. The check-up just now, three thousand eight hundred, it was Xiao Yu who paid for it!"

Qin Jianjun spoke up first to make a good impression on his wife in front of Qin Yu.

"What, 3800? Didn't I tell you? Your father is a doctor; why didn't you have him check it? Now, after spending so much money, where do you think you're going to get the money to pay people back?"

Zhou Cuiping didn't give Qin Jianjun any face and yelled at him in front of Qin Yu.

"I... my dad isn't at home.. I... I'm too embarrassed to ask him for an examination!"

Qin Jianjun said weakly.

"I don't care. No matter how much money you spent, you'll have to earn it back yourself. Xiaobo still needs to buy a drone. We'll get the hotel room ready later; you come by yourself!"

Having finished her piece, Zhou Cuiping, her daughter, and her grandson, entered the elevator.

She didn't even pretend to exchange niceties with Qin Yu.

"Xiaoyu... that's just how your Aunt Zhou talks; she has a loud voice. Don't take it to heart!"

Qin Jianjun looked at Qin Yu apologetically and said.

"Heh... of course not."

Qin Yu forced a smile and shook his head.

Just from the brief exchange among them, it was clear the family didn't take the father's health seriously at all.

They didn't blink an eye spending over a thousand on shoes for their grandson and were ready to buy a drone worth over six thousand.

Yet, spending 3800 on a medical examination for the father was heartbreakingly painful.

"By the way, Dad, what... what does Aunt Zhou do?"

Qin Yu thought for a moment and asked.

Maybe he had misunderstood; perhaps she was spending her own hard-earned money on her grandson?

"She doesn't do anything. She and her daughter have been living off me since we got married, and she has my salary card too!"

Qin Jianjun replied.

"It looks like you're now supporting her grandson too!"

Qin Yu felt anger rising in him.

Which meant that the seven or eight thousand yuan spent on the boy's shoes and the drone were all paid by his father.

"Xiaoyu... I..."

Qin Jianjun opened his mouth, and finally, with a sheepish expression, said, "Xiaobo is my grandson, after all!"

"Alright, I have other things to do, so I'll head back first!"

Qin Yu didn't want to say more, as his father had already been squeezed dry by this family, had become resigned to his fate, and had grown accustomed to it.

If he complained any more, he might look like a hypocrite, seeing faults in others but not himself.

"Xiaoyu, later we can..."

Qin Jianjun wanted to ask his son Qin Yu to have dinner together in the evening.

However, Qin Yu just waved his hand, stood up, and headed straight for the elevator.

His father wanted to meet him, and he had come to do so; as for those people from before, Qin Yu really had no interest in dealing with them.

Outside the hospital, just as he was about to hail a cab, he caught a glimpse of Zhou Cuiping and her daughter talking softly in a corner.

He could faintly hear words like "savings" and "cancer."

A sensation of foreboding gripped Qin Yu's heart. Seeing they were just under the corridor on the second floor of the hospital, he turned back into the lobby and went up to the second floor.

He wanted to find out what schemes the mother and daughter were planning behind his father's back.

Soon, Qin Yu arrived at the second-floor corridor, where he could clearly hear Zhou Nannan asking, "So that old Qin, he really has cancer?"

"Yes, when we went back to East Sea, we had already checked in a different hospital. The doctor told me quietly that it's very likely gastric cancer, and he has at most one year left!"

Zhou Cuiping nodded.

"What about the money he's saved over the years, how much is there?"

Zhou Nannan inquired further.

"There's still about two hundred thousand or so. Didn't I give you a hundred thousand quietly for the car you wanted last time? And I gave another twenty thousand for Xiaobo's last birthday? Anyway, I definitely won't spend a cent if he wants surgery; he's a goner anyway. Spending any more money would be a waste!"

Zhou Cuiping said as if it were the most natural thing.

"Right, better to keep that money for your retirement."

Zhou Nannan said, and then, as if struck by a thought, asked, "Mom, if old Qin dies, will you look for another partner?"
