Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1546 - 1520: Worries in the Heart

Ye Chen brought Zhao Xiuling to Director Zhao’s office.

"Mr. Ye, is there something you need?"

Zhao Hua looked at Ye Chen and asked.

"Director Zhao, it’s not me, it’s Teacher Fan’s wife who wants to see you."

Zhao Hua glanced at the middle‑aged woman behind Ye Chen and asked.

"Ms. Zhao, do you have any questions? And have you discussed tomorrow morning’s surgery and made a decision?"

Zhao Xiuling looked hesitant as she spoke.

"Director Zhao, I want to know why we need to rush into surgery like this. We’re not mentally prepared yet. Has my husband’s condition gotten worse again?"

"Ms. Zhao, don’t overthink it. Based on Teacher Fan’s current situation, the earlier we operate, the better."

Director Zhao said with a smile.

"Of course, I’m only giving you a suggestion. In the end it’s up to you family members to decide."

"Then does this surgery carry any risks?"

Zhao Xiuling asked again.

"Of course. Any surgery carries risk. What I can do is try to bring that risk down to the lowest possible level. You can rest assured about that."

Zhao Xiuling nodded. She still had doubts in her heart, but didn’t know how to ask.

Just then, Ye Chen suddenly spoke.

"Shimu, don’t worry. Director Zhao is an authority in this field. We have to trust him. You should go back and talk teacher into it properly. I think we really should follow Director Zhao’s advice and operate as soon as possible."

Then he turned to look at Zhao Hua and said.

"Director Zhao, I’m counting on you for tomorrow’s surgery."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Zhao Hua.

Ye Chen’s sudden gesture also took Zhao Hua by surprise.

Even Dean Chen treated Ye Chen with great respect, yet Ye Chen was bowing to him for the sake of his own teacher.

That made Zhao Hua feel a bit flattered and overwhelmed.

"Mr. Ye, don’t worry. I’ll definitely do my very best."

Zhao Hua hurried to make his position clear.

Ye Chen led Zhao Xiuling out of the office.

On the way, he comforted her.

"Shimu, since we’ve already found Director Zhao, we should listen to him. After all, he’s the specialist, and he’s done many successful cases. For him, Teacher Fan’s surgery is practically easy. You really don’t need to worry anymore."

Hearing Ye Chen say this, the anxiety in Zhao Xiuling’s heart eased a lot.

"Mm, Ye Chen, I’ll talk to your Teacher Fan when I get back. Thank you, and for running around with me today."

Zhao Xiuling said, her face full of gratitude.

"Shimu, you know the way back, right? Then I won’t see you off. Let’s meet tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Ye Chen, see you tomorrow."

With that, Zhao Xiuling headed toward the ward.

Ye Chen hailed a car and went home.

When she walked into the ward, Teacher Fan looked at his wife and asked.

"Why did it take you so long to come back?"

Of course, Zhao Xiuling couldn’t tell Teacher Fan the truth. She smiled and said.

"I was outside chatting with Ye Chen just now. You know, he spent so much money on Yingying, we have to show our appreciation somehow."

Teacher Fan looked at his wife, half doubtful, but didn’t say anything.

Afraid her husband would keep asking, Zhao Xiuling quickly turned to scold Fan Ying.

"You little girl are really too thoughtless. Ye Chen bought you so many things and you didn’t even go out to see him off. I was the one who felt embarrassed."

Seeing his wife’s natural expression, Teacher Fan’s suspicions vanished.

"Tch, that’s because he takes me as a younger sister."

Fan Ying pouted, looking wronged.

"What kind of talk is that? You’re younger than Ye Chen, of course he sees you as a younger sister."

Zhao Xiuling scolded.

"I don’t want to be his younger sister anymore."

Fan Ying muttered under her breath.

But her voice was so low that the couple didn’t hear clearly at all.

"Yingying, what did you say?"

Zhao Xiuling looked at her daughter and asked.

"Oh, nothing. I was asking if you and Dad have decided about having the surgery tomorrow?"

Fan Ying hurriedly changed the subject.

She really didn’t want her parents to know how she felt about Ye Chen, or she’d be in for another scolding.

Hearing this, it was like something came back to Zhao Xiuling. She looked at her husband and said.

"Old Fan, I think it’s better if we do the surgery early. Besides, if we operate early we can free up this room sooner. Even though this hospital belongs to Ye Chen, he still has to make money. For every extra day we stay here, Ye Chen loses a day’s income."

Teacher Fan fully agreed with his wife’s reasoning.

He also felt they’d come here for surgery in the first place—do it early and they could vacate the room sooner.

Once he thought of that, all his misgivings disappeared.

Of course, Fan Ying respected her parents’ decision. Her own thinking wasn’t that mature yet, and she also hoped her father could have the surgery soon.

Once the whole family reached an agreement, Zhao Xiuling checked the time. It was still not yet ten o’clock, so she hurriedly dialed Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, are you home yet?"

"Almost there. Shimu, is something wrong?"

Ye Chen asked, looking puzzled.

"Here’s the thing: your teacher and I have decided to have the surgery tomorrow, and we’d like to trouble you to let Director Zhao know."

She said straightforwardly.

"Okay, Shimu. Tell teacher to go to bed early and not to dwell on it."

Ye Chen comforted her.

After hanging up, Ye Chen called Zhao Hua.

"Director Zhao, we’ll be relying on you for tomorrow’s surgery."

"Mr. Ye, rest assured."

The taxi had already reached the gate of the compound.

Ye Chen paid the fare and got out.

He walked toward the villa, opened the door and found Su Wanyi sitting in the living room, still awake.

"Wife, didn’t I tell you to go to bed early and not wait up for me?"

Ye Chen said, his face full of concern.

He knew how busy Su Wanyi was at the company during the day.

When she came home, if she didn’t have work, this girl would usually go to bed early.

"Husband, how could I sleep without you home? Besides, I’m not even sleepy."

For some reason, a wave of drowsiness suddenly washed over Su Wanyi, and she couldn’t help letting out a yawn.

Ye Chen looked at her and said with a smile.

"Silly girl."

"By the way, how is Teacher Fan’s condition?"

Su Wanyi suddenly asked.

"Mm, not bad, I guess. The surgery’s tomorrow morning."

Ye Chen said lightly.

"What? He just got admitted today and the surgery’s tomorrow? Isn’t that a little too rushed?"

Su Wanyi said in surprise.

"Sigh, there’s no helping it. I already talked with Director Zhao. Teacher’s condition is even more serious than we thought. Fortunately I brought him to Modu for treatment. Otherwise, if he’d stayed in that previous hospital, they really would have held things up."

Ye Chen frowned, speaking with concern.

"Husband, since you’ve already found an expert in this field, then it should be fine. You don’t need to worry too much."

Su Wanyi said, trying to comfort him.

Although Ye Chen agreed out loud, he was still very anxious inside, because Director Zhao had already told him the success rate of the surgery was quite low.

All he could do was pray that tomorrow’s surgery would go smoothly.
