But even so, she couldn't tell Lu Chen the truth.

The fundamental reason why she wanted to hide all this was actually exactly the same as Qin Wanqing's.

They are all afraid of losing Lu Chen.

Qingbao concealed the fact that she was mute because she was afraid that Lu Chen would think that she was just relying on his "specialness" after knowing it.

The rich young woman was afraid that Lu Chen would feel used after finding out.

She was even more afraid that Lu Chen would think that her feelings were just a planned “coincidence”—

It turns out that the reason she liked me wasn't because she really liked me, but because she had no choice because she was "the only friend allowed."

Lu Shuyu was extremely worried that Lu Chen would think this way, just as Qin Wanqing was extremely worried that Lu Chen would think her feelings were not "pure" enough.

Whether the worries of the little rich woman and Qingbao are necessary depends on the individual.

However, judging from Lu Chen's attitude towards Qin Wanqing, he was not worrying too much.

After all, if Lu Chen really didn’t care about this, he wouldn’t pretend not to know.

In short, at this moment, Lu Shuyu made the same choice as Qin Wanqing in extreme nervousness and anxiety.

Seeing her like this, Lu Chen's suspicions naturally grew.

"Since we are good friends, shouldn't we be honest with each other?"

His eyes gradually became serious. Lu Chen did not intend to give up and vowed to get to the bottom of the matter.

"Don't worry, no matter what the situation is, I promise not to be angry, and it will definitely not affect our relationship."

"What's more, I think this matter may have a lot to do with that password."

"If you don't tell me, and I can't find the password, the consequences will be very serious."

Staring at Lu Shuyu, Lu Chen pressed on step by step, his tone becoming more and more serious.

"I don't know if your father has told you that this password is related to the survival of your Tongsheng Group."

"Besides, even if you don't tell me, I can still find out by asking your dad."

"so......"

With a sharp gaze, Lu Chen paused and was about to deal a "fatal blow" to the young rich woman's psychological defenses.

But at this moment, accompanied by a "creaking" sound, the door of the villa not far away suddenly opened, and then a little nurse came out pushing Lu Haichuan in a wheelchair.

"Grandpa is here."

Seeing Lu Haichuan, Lu Shuyu finally had a reason to end the topic and quickly stood up.

"Lu Chen, let's talk about this later."

"Don't you want to talk to grandpa? Go quickly..."

"..."

Looking at Lu Haichuan in the wheelchair, and then at Lu Shuyu biting her lips tightly, Lu Chen was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"Then let me ask one last question that you can probably answer."

"Yes, what is it?"

"If we're good friends, you won't hurt me."

"No! Absolutely not!"

Lu Shuyu's eyes suddenly widened, and her tone suddenly became extremely anxious. It seemed that she wanted to swear on the spot to prove that she had never done anything to harm Lu Chen.

Looking into her eyes, two seconds later, Lu Chen suddenly smiled.

"Okay, then I won't talk about this anymore, and I won't ask your dad about it. Just tell me when you want to talk about it."

"Ah? Really? "

Lu Shuyu didn't expect Lu Chen's attitude to change so quickly, and subconsciously asked: "Why?"

"Why else would you ask this question?"

Lu Chen shrugged, turned and walked towards Lu Haichuan.

"Because I trust you."

Chapter 172 What Happened in the Future

At around two o'clock, Qin Wanqing and Song Qiao finally returned to the apartment from the Affiliated Hospital of Medical University.

There are many types of aphasia, and the symptoms vary.

Qin Wanqing's condition is called "pure muteness", which is a simple pronunciation disorder.

There's actually nothing wrong with my throat, but I just can't speak.

Apart from this, his thinking logic, language comprehension, reading and writing are all normal.

To put it more technically, the cause of the disease is "damage or compression of the efferent fibers in the lower part of the precentral gyrus or below it."

To put it simply, it means "something is wrong with your brain."

That's why surgery is needed to "reset" this tendon and put it back where it should be.

In short, it is a major surgery that requires opening the skull.

Such an operation involves the most complicated neurological problems, so it is normal that its success rate is low.

But if it is simply “not easy to cure” then it would be fine.

More importantly, surgery carries certain risks.

Although the patient will not die on the operating table, it is possible that the brain may be damaged and other diseases may occur.

For example, it affects motor function, logical function, hearing function, etc.

This means that Qingbao, who was originally mute, may become a "fool" who can neither hear nor speak, and even cannot walk steadily, after the operation.

Of course, the probability of this is very low.

But it exists after all.

"You have missed the best time for treatment. Although you still meet the basic conditions for surgery, the success rate is indeed not very high."

"To be honest, our hospital doesn't have much experience with pure muteness. We have only acquired the ability to perform surgery in the past few years. We have performed seven or eight operations before, and only one little boy was successfully recovered in the end."

"So I suggest you go to Concord."

"Their neurology department is the best in the country, with the country's top experts in this field. The success rate of surgery is at least twice as high as ours."

"Of course, the cost will definitely be much more expensive, almost twice as much."

"By the way, are your parents here?"

"You didn't come?... It's okay. Anyway, I'll discuss it with my parents when I get back."

"This surgery affects your future life. My advice is to go to the best hospital and receive the best treatment."

"If you still choose to have the surgery in Yanjiang, then come back and I will arrange a preoperative examination for you..."

The above are what the doctor said to Qin Wanqing today.

Aphasia is considered a "niche" disease. Even though the Medical University Affiliated Hospital is the best comprehensive hospital in the southwest, there is only one doctor who has experience in treating it.

It seems that the medical level in this area in China is indeed not high.

The reason why this doctor advised Qingbao to go to the capital for treatment was probably not because he was afraid of lowering his "indicator" of the success rate of the operation, but because he was really considering Qingbao.

After all, if even the doctor has no confidence in the operation, the results will probably not be very good.

Because of this, he did not prescribe too many tests for Qingbao today, only a CT scan.

In this way, if Qin Wanqing chooses to go to the Union Hospital in the capital for treatment, she can save the cost of repeated examinations.

However, although Qingbao nodded and agreed to think about it carefully after returning, he had actually made the decision as soon as he walked out of the clinic.

Double the cost, double the success rate.

For some, this choice may seem like a no-brainer.

But for some others, this is undoubtedly a very difficult decision.

Qingbao is one of these people.

If the success rate of the surgery increased from 50% to 100%, she might still be troubled.

But from 10% to 20%...

To be honest, in Qin Wanqing's opinion, there is basically no difference, they are all low-probability events.

However, the cost of surgery, which has doubled, is very different.

50, provided that the food is sold at a “sky-high price” in his own small restaurant, it will not put too much of a burden on his parents.

But 100 million will inevitably put mom and dad in heavy debt.

Therefore, Qin Wanqing decided to continue treatment at the Affiliated Hospital of Medical University without much thought.

only......

"I think you should discuss this with your parents."

On the sofa, Song Qiao was holding a Squirtle pillow, her face full of worry.

[No, if we discuss it, my parents will definitely persuade me to transfer to another hospital, and I don’t want that.]

Qin Wanqing quickly typed a line of words and turned the screen to Song Qiao with a determined expression.

"But this concerns whether you can speak in the future!"

Song Qiao was a little anxious: "Even if it can only increase the success rate a little bit, it's fine. For something that concerns your life, you must try your best!"

"It would be fine if there were no better options, but now there are obviously better hospitals, why give up?"

"What if? What if? What if it's just this 10% difference?"

His voice became louder and louder, and his expression became more and more urgent.

It can be seen that Song Qiao advocated that Qin Wanqing go to Union Hospital for surgery, and firmly believed that such a major matter should not be "quibbled over".
