Chapter 1039 Then Give Up

Lu Jingxing collected the bill and thought to himself, what era is this? Are people still giving out phone numbers in this way?

However, he didn't say much and just urged Meng Qi to go back and rest.

Meng Qi was indeed very tired and yawned several times. Seeing that Lu Jingxing really wanted him to go back and rest, he didn't hesitate and went out of the office and went home with him.

Lu Jingxing found Director Tan, who he mentioned, and confirmed the situation of Ji's father again, and got the same statement as Meng Qi.

"As a doctor, I shouldn't tell your family this, but Dr. Xiao Meng told me that you are his best friend and asked me to tell you the truth. So I told you the truth. The patient's condition is very bad. Even if he is barely rescued, he will be in a vegetative state. Anyway, you should think about it carefully..." Director Tan didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly to Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing thanked him repeatedly, "His daughter is still on her way back, so I can't make the decision for her. When she comes, I may have to trouble you again. I will talk to her first and see how she reacts. However, my girlfriend is a rational person, and I believe she will make the decision herself."

Director Tan nodded. They experienced life and death every day and had seen many such situations.

"I'm sorry, I want to ask again, because I just went to the institute and was not here all the time. May I ask if his other family members are here?" Lu Jingxing asked.

The local police officer said that he had already notified his current girlfriend, but from the tone of Dr. Tan's voice, it seemed like the other party hasn't arrived yet?
"I don't think so. We didn't see anyone asking about it. He hasn't paid the medical bills yet..." Director Tan said after checking the computer records.

"Okay, I'll hand it in now..." Without waiting for Director Tan to speak, Lu Jingxing took the initiative to say.

When he came here earlier, Meng Qi didn't mention this issue, nor did he think about it.

After Director Tan said this, although he wanted to wait for Ji Ling to make a decision, if Ji's father died before Ji Ling came back because he didn't pay the medicine and ran out of money, Ji Ling would definitely not feel good.

Of course, he wouldn't pay too much money, just enough to make sure he doesn't owe any debts for the time being.

He paid the fee, had a quick bite to eat outside, and then rushed to the airport.

When he met Ji Ling, he gave her a hug and patted her back gently.

Ji Ling took a deep breath and raised her head from his arms: "I'm fine. When I was most helpless, I thought about how they would not be there ten thousand times. So, I'm really fine..."

Lu Jingxing felt distressed and touched her head: "Let's go, he is in the ICU now, you can take a look outside."

Ji Ling nodded, and along the way Lu Jingxing told her what he had learned in the morning, so that she could have a general idea. However, he did not speak so directly about Ji's father's condition and the consequences of the operation.

He said that the effect would be different if he told it to the doctor. If he said it out loud, it would have a preconceived feeling, and Ji Ling might need to consider his thoughts.

If the doctor had said so, she could have thought more about it herself.

When they arrived at the hospital, Lu Jingxing took Ji Ling to see Doctor Tan. Doctor Tan asked the medical assistant to take Ji Ling to the ICU to see Ji's father first.

Because only one family member could enter the ICU at a time, Lu Jingxing did not go in this time.

While he was waiting outside, he received a call from Manager Cheng: "We have investigated thoroughly. We have found the Ji Xiaodong you mentioned. He is married for the second time and divorced six years ago. He has a daughter from his first marriage who is currently studying at Tsinghua University..."

Lu Jingxing wanted to interrupt him, saying, "I know all this, just tell me about your recent situation." However, he also knew that Cheng Li generally wouldn't talk too much nonsense, so he just hummed a few times and didn't interrupt him.

"He and his current girlfriend have a son, but they have been getting a divorce recently. It is said that the son is not his. However, he has not done a paternity test. There are just people saying that he got drunk and had an argument with his current girlfriend last night, and then went out. He had a car accident on the way and is now in Long'an County First Hospital. His life or death is unknown." Manager Cheng reported the news.

"Still alive, but the situation is not optimistic..." Lu Jingxing added.

"Your relative?" Cheng Li asked.

"Well, I guess so..." Lu Jingxing didn't elaborate.

"Okay, that's about it. I'm sorry for your condolences..." Cheng Li said and prepared to hang up the phone.

"Why are you saying condolences? Didn't you say he was still alive?" Lu Jingxing muttered, "How is his financial situation now? Does he have any foreign debts or something?"

"He runs a small restaurant, but I heard that the business isn't very good. However, he should have no foreign debt. He owns a small two-bedroom apartment, which he bought with his current girlfriend, and he doesn't have any savings." Manager Cheng was flipping through the information sent by his subordinates.

"Okay, got it. Thanks, buddy. I'll transfer the money to your account." Lu Jingxing nodded. He roughly knew what he wanted to know.

"What's the point of talking about money? It's just a small matter. Let's have a drink together when we have time..." Cheng Li made a few polite remarks and the two hung up the phone.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Ji Ling standing behind him. He quickly hid his phone behind him: "Well, it's a call from a friend."

"I heard it... Why did the woman not say she wanted to come and see him even after such a long time of phone notification? What kind of woman did he find?" Ji Ling was puzzled: "They have been together for five or six years, or even longer. He is like this, and he doesn't even want to come and see her for the last time?"

Lu Jingxing didn't know how to comfort her, so he just hugged her gently.

"What did the doctor say? What will you do?" His voice came softly from above her head.

"The doctor told me that in his condition, even if we find the best doctors to perform the surgery, the best result would be that he would become a vegetable. His brain has been thrown out and his entire skull is shattered..." Ji Ling couldn't help crying when she said this.

After all, he is her father. No matter how much she hates her father who once loved her for five or six years, she is unwilling to forgive him, but she also does not want him to leave like this.

Lu Jingxing hugged her tightly, and his comfort seemed so powerless at this moment.

After Ji Ling finally cried her heart out, she gradually calmed down.

"Although I am his daughter, the signature on whether to give up the surgery has to wait for his current girlfriend to come..." Ji Ling snorted.

There was a sudden loud noise coming from Dr. Tan's office.

Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling looked at each other and hurried over.

Although Ji Ling had never lived with her father and stepmother for a day, she still recognized this stepmother when she saw her.

She frowned slightly: "This is the current girlfriend he found."

Lu Jingxing followed the line of sight and saw a woman squatting on the ground crying loudly, looking very sad: "Oh, my poor husband, you are only 45 years old, what will happen to my son and me if you die? You doctors are so unethical, why did you perform surgery on him when we were not here? Your operation must have failed, that's why he is like this. He went out alone, how could he be like this?" Lu Jingxing's face twitched.

From what he knew about the situation, this woman wouldn't feel so sorry for Ji's father. She was just putting on an act. It seemed like she wanted to rely on the hospital?
At this time, security guards and police also arrived.

The security guards dispersed the onlookers first, and the police asked the woman to stand up, and the woman howled even louder.

Ji Ling frowned, how could this guy be so pretentious? He had already returned from BJ, and it would take her no more than an hour by car to get there, but it had been almost ten hours since he was notified, and he was still playing tricks.

However, she pulled Lu Jingxing and watched from a distance. She knew the woman, but she was not sure whether the woman recognized her. At this time, she did not want to appear in front of her.

Since it was drunk driving and it was your own fault, the insurance will definitely not compensate you.

Although Lu Jingxing has given part of the medical expenses, it will be needed later. She doesn't want to be the scapegoat, even though he is her father.

She didn't want to show up, so Lu Jingxing naturally listened to her and watched from a distance.

The policeman said something in the end, but the woman finally sat up and sat on the stool crying.

"He is in this condition now. We performed an operation on him and told you the result. As for whether to treat him or not, you family members should think it over carefully. We are all following the hospital procedures. You can make a fuss or do whatever you want. We have recorded the whole process and we are not afraid..." The medical assistant looked righteous.

Obviously, this was not the first time they had encountered such a thing, and they spoke with confidence.

The police were more direct: "We called you when we found out about the situation in the early morning, and you answered the phone. We notified everyone, but look at the time now. Did you walk here? Although no one wants to see something like this happen, if you want to blackmail the hospital, you really can't, because the situation is not only recorded by the hospital, but we also have records of the entire process."

The woman gradually stopped smoking, probably because after weighing the pros and cons, she realized that she might not get any advantage.

"So how is he now? Can he be cured?" She returned to her normal state of mind.

Seeing that she was no longer crazy, the police warned her again: "Don't make trouble anymore, communicate well with the doctor..."

Perhaps it was because the policeman's tone was too righteous, the woman shrank her neck and hummed, completely losing her shrewish look just now.

The two people who listened to the whole process stood in the distance and watched the comic scene quietly.

Lu Jingxing gently stroked her face: "I asked someone and found out that he has no debts and no savings. If he decides not to have the surgery, do you want to fight for his property?"

Ji Ling hadn't thought so far, but this was indeed an issue she needed to consider.

After thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "I don't want to argue. As long as the other party doesn't bother me, I'll just pretend they don't exist."

"That's fine. He only has a two-bedroom apartment in his name, which costs only about 100,000 yuan, and it's paid in installments. Let him go. We've just done our last bit of help. After he's gone, there's no need for you to have any contact with his current girlfriend." Lu Jingxing agreed with Ji Ling's idea. They weren't short of money anyway, and it would be a shame for them to deal with that kind of person every day for such a small amount of money.

Suddenly Ji Ling's phone rang. She looked down and said to Lu Jingxing, "It's Dr. Tan."

"Let's go. It seems they want to ask for your opinion." Lu Jingxing pulled her.

Ji Ling held his hand back, feeling at ease with him by her side, and they walked towards the office.

There were the police, Dr. Tan, the medical assistant, and the woman. The woman was sitting on a stool with a man standing behind her.

Several people looked at Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling at the same time.

"Doctor Tan..." Ji Ling greeted Doctor Tan.

"Xiao Ji, come and sit down. This is your father's... This is Mr. Ji Xiaodong's wife, and this is Mr. Ji Xiaodong's daughter. I have told you about Ji Xiaodong's situation. Please discuss it with him..." Doctor Tan introduced the two of them and then sat down.

A policeman is standing in the corner as an invisible man.

The woman then raised her head and looked at Ji Ling seriously. She had heard that he had a daughter studying at Tsinghua University, but his daughter did not like him. This was the first time she met her.

She is beautiful, but looks a little too thin. Her eyes are a little red as if she has been crying, but her face looks very cold. The woman is muttering to herself.

Ji Ling also looked at the woman, who looked about ten years younger than her father. She had no makeup on and had traces of crying, but she didn't look sad. She didn't know whether she should pity her heartless father.

The woman spoke first: "Anyway, I don't have any money. He wants to drink and commit suicide. If you want to treat him, then treat him. I have no objection, but don't expect me to pay a penny."

These words were a bit too straightforward, and even the invisible police officer couldn't help but look over.

Ji Ling snorted coldly: "Then give up treatment."

Now everyone looked at her. This family was really calm.

However, Dr. Tan has analyzed this with everyone, and it was expected that they would give up, but they did not expect that everyone would do it so simply.

"We bought that house after we got married, and we are still paying off the mortgage. We also have a son, and your father still owes a lot of money. I'm not asking you to pay off the debt, but you don't have a share of the house anymore..." the woman added quickly.

"I have already paid part of the medical expenses. You will be responsible for his funeral. I won't fight with you for the house. Don't come to me for your affairs in the future. No matter what happens, it has nothing to do with me." Ji Ling said calmly, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

Lu Jingxing couldn't help but look at her sideways, but in his heart he just felt more pity for her.

The woman's mind was in a state of confusion. She was studying at Tsinghua University, and she must have a bright future. Why did she want to cut off her relationship with him now? How could that be possible? If my son had to rely on her in the future...

She raised her head again and prepared to open her mouth.

"Your son's last name is not Ji, right..." Lu Jingxing spoke slowly, blocking the woman's words in mid-air: "Think about it carefully, this is Ji Ling's concession to you. If you have any more ideas, we are not afraid to sue you for your house. After all, she has more inheritance rights than your son."

The woman opened her eyes wide and looked at Lu Jingxing. There was nothing she didn't understand about what he said. The reason why Ji Xiaodong drank was because of this matter. If it were made public, she would be in big trouble.
