Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1545 - 1519: Seeking Answers

Fan Ying enjoyed the dinner very much, but Ye Chen really didn’t eat much.

"Brother Ye Chen, don’t just watch me eat."

Fan Ying looked up at Ye Chen and said.

"Yingying, go ahead and eat."

Ye Chen pushed the dishes in front of him towards Fan Ying and said.

Fan Ying continued to eat.

It’s really hard to see, this little girl, though petite, has quite an appetite.

Of course, it’s not that Ye Chen doesn’t eat; it’s just that he doesn’t have as good an appetite as Fan Ying.

After dining, Ye Chen and Fan Ying headed towards the restaurant entrance.

They happened to overhear two female waitresses discussing them.

"Look at how that guy spoils the girl, giving her all the good food to eat."

One of the waitresses said with envy.

"Yeah, if I find a boyfriend, I want him to be caring like that, and it would be even better if he had some money."

The other waitress also said with a hopeful look.

"But it seemed like the two of them were a bit embarrassed when they heard we’re a couple’s restaurant."

"Could it be that they’re not a couple? It couldn’t be."

Ye Chen awkwardly passed by the two waitresses, while Fan Ying was very happy.

"Yingying, don’t pay any attention to the waitresses’ nonsense."

Ye Chen said to Fan Ying after leaving the restaurant.

"Brother Ye Chen, what nonsense were they spouting?"

Fan Ying asked, blinking her big eyes.

Being asked like this, Ye Chen felt even more embarrassed.

Forget it, better not to say anything; if I continue, it’ll only make things worse.

"Nothing, Yingying, let’s go. See if there’s anything else you need to buy."

Ye Chen quickly changed the subject.

"No, everything is bought."

Fan Ying said with a smile, feeling embarrassed to let Ye Chen spend more money on her.

Earlier he had spent over a million on jewelry for her.

"Alright then, let’s head back to the hospital."

Ye Chen carried large and small bags, left the mall with Fan Ying, and hailed a taxi.

After driving for a while, the taxi stopped at the entrance of Ren’ai Hospital.

"Driver, please take us to the inpatient department."

Ye Chen said.

"No need, you can park here, we’ll get off."

Fan Ying quickly interjected.

Helplessly, Ye Chen carried the large and small bags and headed towards the inpatient department.

"Yingying, why didn’t you let the driver take us further in?"

Ye Chen asked puzzled.

"Brother Ye Chen, if we drove further in, the fare would definitely increase again. We’re just a few steps away, am I not clever for saving us some money?"

Fan Ying said proudly with a smile.

"Yes, you’re indeed very clever."

Ye Chen felt quite helpless inside.

He’d rather spend a little extra than be this tired, carrying so much stuff and walking forward.

But Ye Chen knew Fan Ying meant well.

The two of them entered the hospital room, and as soon as Fan Ying walked in, she said with a smile.

"Mom and Dad, we’re back."

Teacher Fan and his wife looked at their daughter with worried expressions.

"Ye Chen, you’re back."

"Mom and Dad, why do you look like that? What happened?"

Fan Ying quickly asked, noticing her parents’ unusual expressions.

"Yeah, what’s going on, teachers?"

Ye Chen echoed.

Although he asked like this, he had some understanding internally; it must be about the surgery.

"Sigh, it’s like this. Not long after you left, Director Zhao came over and plans to operate on your dad early tomorrow morning."

Zhao Xiuling sighed and said.

"Huh? Why so soon? Didn’t they say there were more tests to do?"

Fan Ying asked in surprise.

"I don’t know. Director Zhao said the sooner the surgery, the better. We didn’t dare to ask much more."

"Do you think my condition has worsened?"

Teacher Fan asked, furrowing his brows.

Before Zhao Xiuling or Fan Ying could say anything, Ye Chen spoke.

"Teacher, don’t overthink. I believe Director Zhao has a reason for doing this."

Even though Zhao Xiuling had her doubts, to prevent her husband from worrying, she agreed.

"Yes, Old Fan, let’s not overthink it. I think getting the surgery done sooner is good."

Then she looked at the large and small bags in Ye Chen’s hands and the extra jewelry on her daughter, and she scolded.

"Yingying, you’ve been so thoughtless, letting Brother Ye Chen spend so much money on you."

Hearing his wife’s words, Teacher Fan also noticed and said to Fan Ying.

"Yingying, Ye Chen has helped us so much already, and you’re really too shameless, little girl, leaving us with no choice."

Fan Ying looked at Ye Chen with an aggrieved expression but said nothing.

Ye Chen understood and said with a smile.

"Teachers, this didn’t cost much, so don’t blame Yingying. Besides, I consider Yingying as my little sister; it’s only right for a brother to spend some money on his little sister."

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Teacher Fan and his wife had nothing more to say.

However, Fan Ying seemed unhappy; she pouted and looked even more aggrieved.

Ye Chen wondered why, even though the issue had passed, she was still unhappy.

Throughout the night, Fan Ying didn’t speak much to him.

Ye Chen checked the time and said.

"Teachers, it’s late, and I won’t bother you anymore. Please rest early. I’ll come over first thing in the morning. Call me anytime if there’s anything."

After saying this, Ye Chen headed toward the hospital room.

Strangely, Fan Ying didn’t come out to see him off; only Zhao Xiuling did.

"Old Fan, I’ll walk Ye Chen out."

Zhao Xiuling said to her husband.

Although Zhao Xiuling was curious about her daughter’s behavior, her mind was elsewhere.

The two walked to the corner, and she said to Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, I have something I’d like to ask you for help with."

"What is it, Ma’am?"

Zhao Xiuling furrowed her brows and said.

"Ye Chen, could you ask about Teacher Fan’s condition for me? I’m worried that the sudden rush for surgery means his condition has worsened. I want to be mentally prepared."

"Sure, Ma’am. How about you come with me? It won’t take long."

Zhao Xiuling hesitated and said.

"Ye Chen, is that okay? Maybe you should go by yourself; I shouldn’t follow."

Of course, she wanted to personally understand her husband’s condition, but she was afraid Director Zhao would misunderstand, thinking she didn’t trust him.

"It’s no problem, come with me."

Ye Chen nodded and said.

The two headed to the doctor’s office.

Ye Chen was calm, having been briefed by Director Zhao about everything.

But Zhao Xiuling was nervous, unsure of what Director Zhao would say to her.

She knew that no matter what was said, she had to be strong and absolutely couldn’t let her husband find out.
