Chapter 364 Nothing to do with family
There was a hint of hesitation in Mengling's voice, as if she was deeply conflicted when sharing this family experience.
"I'm always worried because my parents don't pay enough attention to me. I'm afraid that after they know about our relationship, they won't pay attention to you either. I'm afraid you will think too much."
Pei Yanqing had a look of surprise on his face when he listened to Mengling's words. It was obvious that he did not expect Mengling to be so worried.
His expression gradually became serious, and his eyes were full of warmth and understanding.
"Mengling, I have never considered this issue, and I'm sorry for this." Pei Yanqing's voice had a hint of solemnity. "My feelings are independent. I like you because you are you, and it has nothing to do with your family environment. I respect your feelings. If you are not ready to let your family know our relationship, I will give you enough time and space."
A trace of relief flashed in Mengling's eyes, and her voice gradually relaxed: "Thank you, Yan Qing, I'm really happy to hear you say that. I will find an opportunity to tell them."
In the warm afternoon, Pei Yanqing sent Meng Ling home safely.
When parting, the two looked at each other with reluctance in their eyes.
Pei Yanqing gently held Mengling's hand and said softly: "Mengling, you don't have to think too much. With me by your side, nothing will be a problem."
Mengling nodded and responded with a smile: "Thank you, Yan Qing."
After Pei Yanqing drove away, he returned directly to the company.
There was still a faint smile on his face, and his heart was filled with thoughts of Meng Ling and expectations for the future.
After arriving at the office, he immediately summoned his assistant Xiao Zheng.
"Xiao Zheng, I have an important task for you." Pei Yanqing's tone was serious and her eyes were firm. "I need you to check on Mengling's parents and then arrange a dinner. I want to invite them out to meet."
Xiao Zheng is Pei Jingchuan's assistant to Pei Yanqing. He is smart and capable and always implements Pei Yanqing's requests without reservation. "Understood, Mr. Yan Qing. I'll make arrangements right away."
After Pei Yanqing sat down in the office, his thoughts shifted from Meng Ling to the work assigned to him by Pei Jingchuan.
Although he still has warm memories of Meng Ling in his heart, he knows that as a member of the Pei family, he has other responsibilities to bear.
The recent task Pei Jingchuan assigned to Pei Yanqing was to participate in an important project negotiation.
This is both a challenge and an opportunity for Pei Yanqing. He can learn and grow in the process and prove his abilities.
Pei Yanqing began to read the documents carefully and conduct an in-depth understanding and analysis of the details of the project.
At the other end of the hospital, Jiang Yuzhu was busy with her work.
She had just completed the diagnosis of Ye Qingning, and the results made her deeply worried.
Ye Qingning's condition was more serious than expected and she needed immediate surgery to remove her breasts to prevent further deterioration of her condition.
Jiang Yuzhu paced back and forth in the office, her steps a little heavy.
She knew that such news would have a huge psychological impact on Ye Qingning.
Jiang Yuzhu silently rehearsed in his mind how to speak, and what wording could convey the necessary seriousness while minimizing Ye Qingning's panic.
At this time, Yang Xueying walked into Jiang Yuzhu's office with a serious expression and professional eyes.
"Yuzhu, I just learned about Ye Qingning's condition." Yang Xueying's voice was calm, "We must perform the operation as soon as possible. If it is delayed, I am afraid her chance of cure will be greatly reduced."
Yang Xueying looked at Jiang Yuzhu and continued, "We all know that for any woman, mastectomy is a very difficult decision. It not only involves physical changes, but also involves deep psychological effects, which she may not be able to accept in her heart."
Jiang Yuzhu's face showed a kind of firm determination. She knew that this was an arduous task.
Her voice was low: "Sister Xueying, I know this is a very difficult issue. I will personally talk to Sister Qing Ning and do my best to let her understand the situation and give her the necessary support."
Yang Xueying nodded to express her understanding, her eyes shining with stability. "Okay, Yu Zhu, I know you can handle it. If you need my help, please let me know at any time." After saying that, Yang Xueying turned and left to deal with other medical matters.
In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly on the hospital lawn, and there was a touch of warmth in the air.
Jiang Yuzhu asked Ye Qingning to meet here, hoping to talk to her about her condition in such a relatively relaxed environment.
Ye Qingning walked over weakly, wearing a hat to cover up the severe hair loss caused by weakness.
Her face was pale, but her eyes still showed tenacity.
Jiang Yuzhu greeted her with a smile, and then the two of them sat on a bench on the lawn, enjoying the afternoon sunshine.
"Sister Qing Ning, I know you have been strong during this period, but what I am going to talk to you about today may make you feel uncomfortable." Jiang Yuzhu's voice was soft, but revealed a necessary honesty.
Ye Qingning nodded slightly, her eyes revealing a courage that was ready to face anything.
Jiang Yuzhu took a deep breath and said slowly: "Sister Qing Ning, your condition is more serious than we expected. Our medical team unanimously believes that in order to prevent the further development of the condition, surgery must be performed as soon as possible to remove the breast glands."
When Ye Qingning heard Jiang Yuzhu's words, the expression on her face suddenly became solemn, and a trace of panic and uncertainty flashed in her eyes.
Her hands were shaking slightly, and it was obvious that the news was a huge blow to her.
"Is it so serious?" Ye Qingning's voice was weak and trembling.
Jiang Yuzhu gently held her hand, "I know this is very difficult for you, Sister Qing Ning. You can take time to think about it, but please remember, we don't have much time, we need your decision."
Ye Qingning's eyes fell on the lawn in the distance, as if looking for the answer. "I understand, Yu Zhu, I will think about it carefully. I will give you an answer tomorrow at the latest."
The two were silent for a while. The surrounding sunshine and grass seemed particularly peaceful, but this tranquility was in sharp contrast to the waves in Ye Qingning's heart.
In the evening, Pei Yanqing went alone to the restaurant where he met Mengling's parents as planned.
At this important moment, his mood was both tense and full of determination.
He knew that this meeting was very important for his and Meng Ling's future.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was warm and elegant. Pei Yanqing chose a relatively private corner to sit down and wait for Meng Ling's parents to arrive.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thinking about the upcoming conversation.
Soon after, Mengling's parents arrived. They were dressed simply, with a hint of alienation and indifference in their expressions, indicating that they did not attach much importance to the meeting.
Pei Yanqing stood up and greeted them politely, but he could feel that Meng Ling's parents were a little cold towards him.
After they sat down, Pei Yanqing went directly to the topic. "Uncle and aunt, I invited you here today because I want to formally tell you that Mengling and I are already together, and we are aiming to get married."
