513: It's too short
Qian Ziyong arrived in Shen City and headed straight for the location Liu Gaoda had sent.
It was a large, very luxurious villa.
A villa like this in Shen City would cost at least a hundred million, wouldn't it?
When Liu Gaoda saw Qian Ziyong approach, he excitedly went forward and embraced him.
"Ziyong, I'm so touched that you could come!" Liu Gaoda excitedly welcomed Qian Ziyong inside.
How busy was Qian Ziyong?
Every day, when he scrolled through his phone, he could see the massive construction in Han City, with countless Feihuang employees bustling about.
Feihuang Group had also welcomed many new employees.
With more and more employees, Feihuang Group was rapidly expanding and had just launched new eye drops, so it was easy to imagine how busy Qian Ziyong was.
"Buddy, what's going on with you?"
"Why did you suddenly get married?" Qian Ziyong asked curiously.
Liu Gaoda chuckled, somewhat smugly, "Surprised, aren't you?"
"Life is like that, full of surprises."
"I never expected to have such good luck one day."
At this moment, Yilian came downstairs.
Liu Gaoda quickly said, "Yilian, this is Ziyong, the Ziyong I often talk to you about. He's my best brother!"
"A true brother!"
Qian Ziyong nodded to Yilian, "Hello!"
Yilian, in a red dress, stood next to Liu Gaoda. He was dark and tall, while she was fair and petite, creating a striking contrast.
Both Yilian and Liu Gaoda had happy smiles on their faces.
Qian Ziyong sighed inwardly.
From the first moment he saw Liu Gaoda, he could tell that he was living a very happy life.
Liu Gaoda had never looked so good.
He used to not believe that love could nourish a person, but now he did.
Yilian smiled and said, "President Qian, it's truly an honor to meet you. The eye drops you developed have benefited all of humanity and will surely leave a significant mark in medical history."
Qian Ziyong waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, just good luck."
Yilian smiled and said, "President Qian, you are too humble."
"Your achievements in medicine are very high..."
At this point, she paused and looked at Qian Ziyong hopefully, saying, "A friend of mine has an elderly relative who has cancer, President Qian, do you have a way to treat it?"
Qian Ziyong shook his head, "Not yet."
Liu Gaoda, standing nearby, said, "Yilian, cancer is an incurable disease. Although my brother is amazing and has been researching cancer, it must be very difficult to develop a special medicine."
He whispered in Yilian's ear, "Ziyong's father has cancer, and Ziyong has been researching cancer treatments."
"Cancer is already a burden on Ziyong's heart, so it's best not to mention that word."
He had long known that Qian Ziyong's father had cancer, but he pretended not to know anything.
It wasn't that he didn't care about Ziyong.
Rather, his concern was of no use to Qian Ziyong; instead, bringing up the matter would only make Qian Ziyong sad.
So, whenever Qian Ziyong was present, he treated the word 'cancer' as taboo.
Yilian still had a smile on her face. She said, "Gaoda, that friend of mine and I are very close. I'd like to talk to President Qian alone, if that's alright?"
Yilian looked at Liu Gaoda with pleading eyes.
Liu Gaoda's heart melted.
Qian Ziyong said, "It's fine. At first, when my father got cancer, I was very sad, but now I've gotten used to it!"
He was still very worried about his father.
But Qian Ziyong felt that his father still had a few years to live, and he didn't believe he would be so unlucky as to never draw a medicine to treat cancer.
Moreover, he now had money.
And status.
He knew many cancer experts.
He was already confident that he could slow down his father's illness.
Perhaps he could help his father hold on for ten years.
In ten years, he absolutely had to find a way to treat cancer.
Therefore, although Qian Ziyong was worried, it was far less than before.
"Alright then, I'll go prepare some ice cream for you two." Liu Gaoda scurried upstairs.
"Please sit!" Yilian poured tea for Qian Ziyong.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Qian Ziyong took a sip of tea and quietly asked, "How long have you had brain cancer?"
Yilian had brain cancer.
He had noticed it the first time he met Yilian.
If it were other illnesses, he might not have been able to tell.
His father had cancer, so he had a deep understanding of the disease.
He had also researched it with cancer experts.
And he had seen many patients in clinical settings.
So, without any instruments, he could tell at a glance that Yilian had cancer, specifically brain cancer, and that she likely didn't have much time left.
In addition, he could also tell that Yilian was pregnant.
The pregnancy shouldn't be far along, about a month.
Based on the timing, it was undoubtedly Liu Gaoda's biological child.
Yilian smiled and said, "The doctor said I have about half a year left."
"I think there should be enough time to give birth to the child..."
Qian Ziyong asked, "Have you thought about Liu Gaoda?"
"When you die, leaving behind the child and Liu Gaoda, how will he live the rest of his days?"
"I'm sorry." Yilian lowered her head, not daring to meet Qian Ziyong's gaze.
Qian Ziyong sighed, "You didn't wrong me, but you wronged Gaoda."
"I'm sorry." The thought of her own death, never seeing Liu Gaoda again, and being separated from the child in her womb forever, made Yilian unable to hold back her tears.
"I don't want to either."
"I know I'm selfish."
"I'm only twenty-one... I've never been in a relationship with anyone other than Liu Gaoda!"
"I want to experience the taste of love, I want to try the most beautiful things in life before it ends."
"I don't want to die with the regret of never having been in love even once in my life."
"I'm sorry, I'm very selfish..."
Qian Ziyong's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Yes!
If he were young and also had cancer, he would definitely want to try the most beautiful things in the world.
They say love is the most beautiful.
It makes people follow each other in life and death.
If he were going to die, he would definitely want to experience love once.
Yilian was just a girl, and a girl younger than him at that; how could she not want to experience a sweet romance before she died?
Qian Ziyong sighed, "I'm not confident I can research a cancer drug in a short time."
"If only you had a little more time."
"Half a year... it's too short..."
Whether there would be a cancer drug depended entirely on luck.
It was very difficult for him to draw cancer treatment technology from the system.
Because he didn't have the corresponding technology to produce cancer drugs, the system couldn't let him draw drugs that he couldn't make.
He had been working hard to improve Feihuang Group's industrial strength, hoping to produce more precise components.
"I'm sorry." Yilian kept apologizing, knowing how much she had wronged Liu Gaoda.
Qian Ziyong said, "If you're going to love, love wholeheartedly, it's a way to live without regrets!"
"If needed, you can go to Feihuang Hospital. They have the best cancer specialists, who can at least extend..."
Qian Ziyong didn't continue. Yilian's family was also very wealthy; if extending her life was possible, she probably would have found a way long ago.
Qian Ziyong said, "Liu Gaoda is my brother. If there's anything you need help with, just ask."
"Thank you!" Yilian said.
Just then, Liu Gaoda came downstairs, carrying some ice cream in his hands.
