Chapter 185 The White Moonlight Who Died Early in the Substitute Novel (22)
Pei Jinxiu rushed to the hospital anxiously, and on the way he gave Chen Ping the contact information of the foreign doctor, urging him to contact him as soon as possible.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Pei Jinxiu changed into the special protective suit for entering the ICU. The doctor looked at Pei Jinxiu with a solemn expression: "Madam Pei's illness came on very suddenly. If an ordinary person had any of Madam Pei's serious illnesses, and to such a severe degree, there would be absolutely no chance of waking up."
But the lady has remained awake, which means she has to endure the pain of chemotherapy and injections, which might be too cruel for her.
Pei Jinxiu looked at his mother on the sickbed. In just one day, all of her once proud and well-maintained hair had fallen out, and her eyes were filled with the dullness of being tormented by illness. The elegant appearance of the wealthy lady of the past had completely disappeared.
After listening, Pei Yazhi weakly said, "Jin Xiu, I don't want to die, please save Mom..."
Pei Jinxiu felt a pang of pain in his heart and quickly comforted her, "Mom, don't worry. I found the doctor who performed the surgery on Mu Si'an. He was able to restore Mu Si'an to health, and you certainly can too."
Upon hearing this, Pei Yazhi felt a glimmer of hope. Now that she had no other choice, she reluctantly nodded in agreement.
Soon, Pei Yazhi was once again overwhelmed by pain, and her screams echoed throughout the ward.
Pei Jinxiu couldn't bear to see his mother suffer like this, so he asked the doctor, "Is there any way to make her fall into a deep sleep?"
The doctor pushed up his glasses and said helplessly, "To make her faint, we would simply give her a sedative or anesthesia, but Madam has already reached the limit for today's use. If we continue, her life will be in danger, and she may very well die while unconscious."
Pei Jinxiu looked pained and helpless as he turned and walked out of the ward.
At this moment, Chen Ping came forward to report: "President Pei, I have contacted that doctor. He seems very interested in Madam's condition and said that he will bring his team to China tomorrow to treat Madam."
Pei Jinxiu's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and he replied in a low voice, "Okay, I understand."
Sure enough, the next afternoon, a foreign male doctor named Andre arrived at the hospital with his team.
Andrei carefully examined the medical records and Madam Pei's physical report, his eyes gleaming with an unusual light. He excitedly exchanged glances with his assistants: "This is extremely significant for research! This patient suffers from multiple cancers. For anyone, any one of these severe illnesses would be fatal, yet she has managed to hold on until now. It's nothing short of a miracle!"
The assistants nodded in agreement, their faces filled with excitement and curiosity.
Seeing their excited expressions, Pei Jinxiu felt a little strange, but for the sake of his mother's condition, he suppressed his doubts for the time being and said sincerely, "Doctor, I hope you can save my mother."
Andrei exchanged a meaningful glance with his assistant, then said, "Don't worry, we will do our best to study Madam Pei's condition." With that, he led a group of people into the ICU ward.
Inside the ward, Pei Yazhi was covered in tubes. Andrei looked at her with even more fanaticism in his eyes, muttering English incessantly, as if he couldn't wait to dissect and study Pei Yazhi.
Pei Yazhi, lying in the hospital bed, naturally understood what Andrei was saying. She trembled with anger, her fingers shaking, "Get out of here! I want to see my son!"
Andrei completely ignored what Pei Yazhi was saying and instructed his assistant: "From now on, record her daily physical data until she dies, then begin the next phase of the study."
"Yes!"

As soon as Jiang Ciyou stepped into the coffee shop, her gaze immediately locked onto Cang Lan.
Canglan sat there, her aura of a wealthy heiress seemingly innate, surrounding her. Her posture was elegant, every subtle movement exuding an indescribable nobility and composure, as if everything around her was merely an accompaniment.
Jiang Ciyou felt as if an invisible hand had clenched her heart, and the flames of jealousy quickly spread within her. She had thought that she was about to marry Pei Jinxiu, and from then on, she would be able to completely escape the shadows of the past, enter high society, and become Mrs. Pei, whom everyone envied.
But now, whenever she meets Mu Si'an, her deep-seated inferiority complex follows her like a shadow, reflecting clearly the seemingly insurmountable gap between her and Mu Si'an.
Her carefully constructed confidence and pride crumbled instantly in front of Mu Si'an.
At this moment, she feigned composure, a seemingly confident smile playing on her lips, and walked towards Canglan with slightly hurried steps, asking in a deliberately casual manner:
"Miss Mu, what can I do for you?"
Canglan calmly put the last bite of cake into her mouth, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, and then slowly opened her mouth, a hint of amusement in her eyes:
"Pei Jingxiu must have told you about your upcoming marriage, right?" Her tone was calm, yet it seemed to carry an invisible pressure.
Jiang Ciyou felt her right eyelid twitch twice, and an ominous premonition welled up in her heart, but she still braced herself and tried to remain calm, saying, "Miss Mu, you are so well-informed, you found out so quickly. In that case, you will definitely come when Jin Xiu and I get married."
Cang Lan looked at him as if he were a comical clown, a slight smirk playing on his lips: "Oh, you probably don't know yet, but I was the one who told him to marry you, and that's why he married you."
Jiang Ciyou's eyes widened instantly, and the smile on her face froze. How could Pei Jinxiu decide to marry her just because of Mu Si'an's words? This was absolutely impossible; Mu Si'an must be talking nonsense.
"How could that be? Miss Mu, you must be joking."
"Don't you believe me?"
Jiang Ciyou was unwilling to be outdone by Cang Lan like this. She gritted her teeth, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes:
"So what? Even if it's true, so what? As long as he marries me, Jiang Ciyou." She stared intently at Cang Lan, as if she wanted to devour him with her gaze.
Cang Lan smiled gently: "That's more like it. Don't worry, I will definitely attend your wedding. After all, I was the one who brought you together, right?"
You should thank me.
"I can even be your witness at your wedding."
Her smile was like the warm sun in winter, but it was incredibly dazzling to Jiang Ciyou, and the anger in her heart was like a volcano about to erupt.
Jiang Ciyou looked at Cang Lan's aloof demeanor and felt almost driven mad.
She roared inwardly: Why? Why should she marry Pei Jinxiu, yet be grateful to you, Mu Si'an? It's as if all of this is a favor bestowed upon her.
Her eyes were filled with resentment, and her hands clenched unconsciously, her nails digging deep into her palms.
"You used to sit here spying on us, didn't you?" Cang Lan's sudden words were like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into Jiang Ciyou's heart.
Jiang Ciyou's body jolted, and a look of panic appeared on her face: "What are you talking about? I don't know." Her voice was noticeably louder, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes.
"How could you not know? You sit here often, and I seem to remember you working as a waiter here. The manager should remember you."
Canglan remained calm as still water, but every word he uttered felt like a heavy hammer blow to Jiang Ciyou's heart.
Jiang Ciyou's face turned deathly pale. She never expected that Cang Lan would find out about her past experience working here.
Back when she was working here, she accidentally saw Pei Jinxiu and Mu Si'an on a date. Mu Si'an looked so much like her. At that moment, the seed of jealousy took root in her heart.
She was unwilling to struggle for a living every day while Mu Si'an enjoyed a comfortable life and a beautiful love. So, she deliberately approached Pei Jinxiu and took advantage of the situation after learning that Mu Si'an had gone abroad.
But now, it all feels like it's been laid bare in the sunlight, and she feels incredibly ashamed and terrified.
"Don't worry, I haven't told anyone about this. I'm just curious why you're so obsessed with other people's lives, like a mouse hiding in a dark corner, only daring to secretly peek at other people's happiness and glory, never daring to stand upright in the sunlight and fight for what's yours."
You scheme and plot to steal a life that isn't yours, thinking that this will change your destiny, unaware of how pathetic such behavior is.
In an instant, Jiang Ciyou's rationality collapsed. In a fit of rage, she reached for the coffee on the table and threw it forcefully at Cang Lan.
However, Cang Lan was prepared and picked up the coffee on her table even faster. Just as Jiang Ciyou's coffee was about to spill on her, she splashed the scalding coffee at Jiang Ciyou.
Jiang Ciyou's coffee cup fell to the ground with a "bang," and then her miserable screams echoed throughout the coffee shop: "Ah! It's so hot! My face, my face!" She covered her face with her hands, writhing in pain, her once exquisite makeup now a mess of tears and coffee.
