Chapter 366 Human life is at risk
Xu Wanqing is already very excited and difficult to control herself. It is not clear what happened on the phone. Lu Hong was very anxious. Without saying anything, he rushed downstairs and rushed to her law firm and went straight into her office.
"What's the matter, Sister Xu..." Lu Hong paused and looked at the situation inside, a little stunned.
In addition to Xu Wanqing, there is also a woman in the office. Lu Hong saw clearly that she was Xu Qian.
The girl huddled on the corner of the sofa and kept wiping her tears. Xu Wanqing sat next to her, put her around her shoulder to comfort her, and sobbed from time to time.
Lu Hongda is doubtful. Does it mean that the matter is related to Xu Qian?
"Lu Hong, you're here." When Xu Wanqing saw Lu Hong rushing in, she stood up in surprise, looking quite excited, as if she had seen the backbone.
Lu Hong didn't understand the situation and pointed to Xu Qian: "You are..."
"Woo-hoo..." Xu Qian looked up at Lu Hong, cried loudly, and did not get up.
Lu Hongda was shocked. Xu Qian, who was usually lively, was shocked to see him. Now... she cried very sadly, really sad, almost heartbreaking.
Lu Hong's face changed, and his heart was a little heavy. Could it be said that Xu Qian was... bullied?
"What the hell is going on?" Lu Hong was impatient and impatient, and his face looked good.
Xu Wanqing looked at Lu Hong and then at Xu Qian. She sighed and didn't know what to say.
Lu Hong's heart was heavier. The cold sweat on his forehead came. He forced himself to calm down and asked, "Sister Xu, what's going on? What's wrong with Xu Qian?"
"She..." Xu Wanqing paused and sighed again, "There is something wrong with her family."
"Her home?" Lu Hong was stunned for a moment.
Xu Wanqing nodded: "Her mother is seriously ill."
Lu Hong was stunned and relieved. Fortunately, it was not what she imagined. Xu Qian was not bullied by anyone, but her mother was ill.
"Sickness..." Lu Hong was shocked again. What kind of disease made Xu Qian so sad? Could it be... He fixed his suspicious eyes on Xu Wanqing and no longer removed it.
Xu Wanqing smiled bitterly: "It is said to be a brain tumor over there, which has turned into a bad surname, or in the later stage, so..."
Evil brain tumor!
Lu Hong was shocked. As soon as he heard this noun, you would know how serious the disease was.
Almost... Almost, most people with this disease can arrange the after-mort. Even if you are lucky enough to complete the operation, you won't live for a few years!
Lu Hong looked at Xu Qian sympathetically.
Xu Qian cried louder, tears kept flowing, and her voice was almost hoarse.
Xu Wanqing was very helpless and said to Lu Hong, "This girl just received a phone call from someone from her hometown, saying that her mother suddenly fainted and was sent to the hospital and was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. Now she is hospitalized and asked her to go back quickly. What about her... she panicked and her face turned white. She didn't know what to do and kept crying.
Lu Hong looked at Xu Qian. Sure enough, there was only a pale color left in his face with tears. He looked very helpless and weak, and there was no lively happiness at all. He was quite distressed to see.
Xu Wanqing said again, "I also messed up. I had no choice but to call you to deal with it."
Lu Hong took a look at Xu Wanqing and was a little happy. At the critical moment, the woman still relied on herself, which showed her trust in herself.
This trust made Lu Hong's sense of responsibility heavier, and his face became more and more solemn. He walked to Xu Qian's side, bent down, and comforted him softly: "Xu Qian, don't be sad. What if you fall down if you cry any more..."
Lu Hong stopped, didn't know how to comfort people, and smiled bitterly.
He is not Xu Qian. How can he understand each other's mood? However, from another angle, if his parents got it... Bah, the dog can't spit out ivory!
Lu Hong secretly despised himself and didn't dare to think about it. In a word, if a close relative has a terminal illness, as long as he has a little conscience, he will be very sad, not to mention Xu Qian, a girl who has not experienced much in the world.
Panic, confused and helpless are all understandable manifestations.
Xu Qian looked up at Lu Hong and kept sobbing. She wanted to speak but couldn't say it, and suddenly wiped the tears from her eyes. Lu Hong looked at the poor appearance and felt that his nose and hair were calculated, and he almost burst into tears.
He stood up straight and took a long breath. Lu Hongqiang calmed down and asked Xu Wanqing, "Sister Xu, how long has it been? What are your plans?"
"As for what happened just now, as for the plan..." Xu Wanqing smiled bitterly, "Xu Qian cried all the time. I was busy comforting her, but I haven't figured out anything yet. In fact, I have no choice but to call you here.
"You mean..." Lu Hong paused.
Xu Wanqing said in embarrassment, "Xu Qian is crying all the time. Of course, she also cried and shouted to go home to see her mother... She must go back. The problem is that she is in her current state. How can I rest assured that she can go back by herself?"
"So..." Lu Hong opened his eyes wide and pointed to himself, "Are you going to let me go back with her?"
"Don't you want to?" Xu Wanqing was a little annoyed.
Lu Hong smiled bitterly, curled his lips secretly, and glanced at Xu Wanqing. You don't say whether you are willing or not, but ask whether he is willing or not. Can he say no?
Xu Wanqing said again, "I wanted to go back with her in person, but tomorrow is Monday. I have a case to go to court in person. This has entered the final judicial process and I can't leave, so... After thinking about it, only you have the most suitable one to accompany Xu Qian back to do things. Lu Hong, a friend, don't say you don't want to!"
Lu Hong smiled bitterly again and found that Xu Qian next to him looked at her expectantly, with tears in his eyes. What a pity.
With a sigh, Lu Hong smiled helplessly: "Did I say I didn't want to?"
Xu Qian stood up and suddenly thanked Lu Hong: "Lu Hong, please, thank you..."
Lu Hong quickly stopped her: "Oh, what are you doing? Are you going to bow? Are you trying to make me feel ashamed? What's the relationship between us? Let's be friends. If we can help, we will help. Xu Qian, you clean up and we'll go to your house immediately.
"No need to clean up!" Xu Qian wiped away her tears and said firmly, "Let's go back now. Let's talk about it later!"
"Uh..." Lu Hong's forehead began to appear black. "Xu Qian, where is your home? I don't know yet!"
"Gan City!" Xu Qian immediately replied, "In Gan City, Xijiang Province, my mother is a teacher in a middle school in the city. Our family lives in that school. We don't need to transfer many cars. It's very convenient."
"What other car are you taking!" Lu Hong shouted categorically, "I'm not very clear about the situation in Gan City. Is there an airport there? If there is, let's take a plane."
"Yes, yes." Xu Qian nodded repeatedly.
Without saying anything, Lu Hong came to Xu Wanqing's desk, pulled out her computer keyboard and knocked on it, and said, "I'll check the flight situation to see which plane is the fastest."
Xu Qian and Xu Wanqing also came up. At this time, the page jumped out, and there were several flights.
Lu Hong looked at the time: "It's two o'clock now. There is a trip here at 2:30 p.m., but it's too late. It takes a lot of time to go to the airport here."
Xu Qian began to sob again, very anxious.
Lu Hong went all the way and stopped on one of the lines of messages: "That's it. It flies at five o'clock in the afternoon, and it doesn't take more than an hour to arrive."
"That's it. I'll call to book tickets for you." Xu Wanqing also said it simply.
"No hurry." Lu Hong waved his hand and looked at Xu Qian, "Is it far from you to drive? How long will it take?"
Xu Qian frowned and said, "I just came by car. It seems to take seven or eight hours."
Lu Hong said the right time and said, "It's 2:30 now. If you wait for two and a half hours to take a plane, it will take more than four hours in total. It's still faster than driving there now. OK, just take a plane. Sister Xu, I'm sorry to trouble you when booking the tickets. Xu Qian and I went back to pack up some things.
"Good." Xu Wanqing didn't have two words.
"Ouch!" Lu Hong suddenly patted his thigh and suddenly remembered something.
"What's the matter?" Xu Qianda is nervous.
Lu Hong said, "Xu Qian, it's the end of June, and the school has begun to take the exam. Your major should not be finished yet. I don't know how many days it will take for you to go back now. The exam..."
"I won't take the exam!" Xu Qian said categorically, "The exam is not as important as my mother. At most, I will come back next semester to apply for the make-up examination..." Suddenly, she stopped with her mouth open and looked at Lu Hong. "Lu Hong, it seems that you... are going to graduate. Shouldn't you have a graduation ceremony these days? If you go with me..."
She was really embarrassed. After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm calm now. I can deal with things. Lu Hong, I'll go back by myself. You don't have to accompany me. Sister Wanqing, you just need to book a ticket.
"No way!" Xu Wanqing categorically refused, "I'm worried about your state. If it really doesn't work, I'll just find someone to go back with you. There are a lot of people in our company."
"I said, you two, you look down on me too much!" Lu Hong was unhappy, "Xu Qian, you are also my friend. If your friend is in trouble, it is incumbent on me to help. It's not a big deal to have a graduation ceremony. If you don't participate, you won't attend it. I'll just ask someone to get my graduation certificate on my behalf.
"How embarrassing..." Xu Qian opened her beautiful eyes and flashed with excitement and embarrassment.
Lu Hong smiled and said, "Nothing, you know, I'm just a junior college student. I think the so-called graduation ceremony is nothing more than taking a picture and eating and drinking. It's not as rules as your undergraduates.
Xu Wanqing also said, "Yes, Xu Qian, don't be polite to him. Isn't it that you don't know that with his current life, he still cares about a diploma? Not to mention junior college, I don't think he even looks down on the Harvard PhD!"
Lu Hong smiled and said, "Senior Xu still knows me. I'm a successful person now. What can I do with my diploma? Can I eat it? So, Xu Qian, don't say more. I'll go back with you."
"Well...thank you." Xu Qian is also pretentious.
Lu Hong waved his hand unintentionally. He also understood that the two women asked him to come over, which was his trust. With the relationship of friends around them, in fact, he is the most suitable person to do this. Not to mention Xu Qian. As a student who hasn't graduated yet, she knows a limited number of friends, most of whom are students. It's the end of June, and all colleges and universities are taking intense exams. Her classmates can't give up the exam to accompany her back.
Xu Wanqing has less choice. There are not many friends, and it is worth trusting that Lu Hong is a friend. Although she can be accompanied by the people of the company as she said, how can the friendship be trustworthy? How can we guarantee that the other party really works hard?
Therefore, Lu Hong is the best choice. Lu Hong understood the difficulties of the two women and did not refuse.
................................................................. Fortunately, the plane took off on time.
When Lu Hong and Xu Qian arrived at Ganshi Airport, it was not yet seven o'clock in the evening. At this time, the summer solstice has passed, the days are long and the nights are short, and the sky is still bright.
As soon as she arrived at the airport, Xu Qian did not plan to go home, but went directly to her mother's hospital. After making a few phone calls, she confirmed the location of the hospital, immediately called a taxi, and rushed to the first hospital in Gan City with Lu Hong.
Lu Hong from Xijiang Province has never been here, and Gan City has never had a chance to come. However, he has heard of the name here. There are a lot of people here, which is a populous city in Xijiang Province. As far as he knows, there are many Hakka people here, and many places speak Hakka.
In addition, Lu Hong's concern is that there are many rare earths here, and the tungsten reserves are famous in the world. Therefore, Gan City has been greatly developed.
In fact, there is nothing worth promoting. It is nothing more than a modern semi-industrial city. Compared with Yangcheng, it is much worse.
This most intuitive embodiment is in the hospital. The equipment of this so-called municipal hospital is really a little behind. Even the tiles outside the inpatient building are too old to see, like the products of the 1990s.
The environment is not good, and the place is relatively small. In addition, it is a hospital. As soon as you enter it, you will feel boundless depression.
Fortunately, Lu Hong is not in the mood to appreciate these. Xu Qian has found out about her mother's ward and went straight to the inpatient department with Lu Hong.
When she went up to the fourth floor, Xu Qian looked at the room number and determined the direction. She walked faster and almost ran over.
Finally, she stopped in front of a ward.
A middle-aged lady sat on the bench in front of the room, bowing her head and holding her hands. She didn't know what she was thinking.
"Aunt Li!" Xu Qian couldn't wait to shout.
The middle-aged lady raised her head and jumped up in surprise when she saw Xu Qian: "Xiao Qian, you're back!"
"Aunt Li..." Xu Qian sobbed in her voice, and tears came again, "How's my mother...?"
"Just come back, just come back." Aunt Li was so excited that she pointed to the door and said, "Your mother is inside and asleep. Xiaoqian, don't worry too much. Your mother will be fine. She will definitely..."
"I..." Xu Qian's eyes were full of tears. She sobbed and couldn't speak. Finally, she took a breath and said, "I want to see my mother."
Aunt Li nodded repeatedly: "Go in. If she doesn't wake up, don't disturb her."
Xu Qian nodded and walked in without saying a word.
... Aunt Li found Lu Hong standing next to him outside the door. She couldn't help looking at him, meditating, and asking, "These gentlemen, you are..."
"Hello, Aunt Li, call me Lu Hong." Lu Hong quickly stepped forward and introduced himself.
"You and Xiao Qian are..." Aunt Li didn't understand again.
Lu Hong replied, "Friend! I'm in the same university as her, and I'm her friend. She heard that she was not in a stable state after the accident at home, so I came back with her.
Aunt Li was a little surprised: "Come from Yangcheng?"
Lu Hong nodded: "Yes."
Aunt Li recalled: "It was already afternoon when I called you. Why did you arrive so soon?"
"Let's take a plane." Lu Hong answered honestly.
"Airplane!" Aunt Li was shocked and hesitated for a moment, "Classmate Lu, your relationship with Xiaoqian is..."
She is a little suspicious.
Lu Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Aunt Li, she and I are friends, really. Don't get me wrong, I already have a girlfriend. However, Xu Qian and I are both classmates and colleagues.
"Colleagues?"
"We are in the same company."
"Xiaoqian is working?"
"She is an intern in a law firm."
Aunt Li doesn't bother with this point, and she is a little silent.
Through the glass on the door, Lu Hong faintly saw the situation in the ward. There were two beds inside, the one by the door was empty, and there was a person lying inside, covered with a thin white quilt, and did not move.
This should be Xu Qian's mother.
Xu Qian sat at the head of the bed and stared at the patient. Although there was no movement, Lu Hong saw her shrug on her shoulders, which was a sobbing reaction.
Crying again?
Lu Hong frowned, sighed, turned his head to chat with Aunt Li, and got a general understanding of the basic situation.
Aunt Li and Xu Qian's mother are colleagues and both work as teachers in the same school. They have been friends for nearly 20 years and know each other's situation. Speaking of which, Xu Qian grew up with her, so she had a good relationship with the mother and daughter of the Xu family.
The general process of Xu's mother's illness this time was as follows: Yesterday afternoon, Xu's mother, who was in class, suddenly fainted. The students panicked and reported to other teachers, and then other teachers sent her to the hospital. The hospital carried out diagnosis and treatment, and the diagnosis was not available until nearly noon today.
Evil brain tumor!
This result scared the school teacher.
At this point, Aunt Li sighed, "In fact, Mr. Qin woke up last night, but the diagnosis had not come out at that time. She asked us not to inform Xiaoqian because she didn't have much to do, so that she wouldn't worry about her. Today... the diagnosis came out, because the Xu family is a single-parent family, and the hospital told Mr. Qin about the condition.
"At that time... Mr. Qin still asked us not to tell Xu Qian that her daughter was in the final exam and could not be distracted. We originally planned to inform Xiaoqian to come back after the exam in a few days, but at noon, the doctor said that her condition was very serious. Don't put it off. It's better to let her relatives come to go through the formalities quickly, because there are many procedures that need to be signed by her relatives. Mr. Qin seemed to faint again at that time. I saw that there was nothing I could do, so I informed Xiaoqian to come back.
"Can this hospital do such an operation?" Lu Hong is a little strange.
"They say it's all like this. Do your best and do your best." Aunt Li sighed.
"Nonsense!" Lu Hong shouted loudly and was annoyed, "People's lives are at risk. How can they do this!" If you don't have the ability, just say it earlier. Let's find a place where we can treat it!"
"Where can be cured?"
