Chapter 1531: with translation of chapter title

1484 Father-in-law, hateful!

Billionaires of that scale are basically hard to come by.

Zheng Lao Ban really has a wide social circle.

Thinking about this, Director Wei began to worry. Zhang Weiyu just told him he'd gotten some good meat and invited him to join.

If it were just Zheng Lao Ban and his Medical Team colleagues, whether the meat is good or bad, they're all insiders, so there's no issue.

But if a scion of the Xianggang elite ate the meat and found a quality issue, that would be embarrassing.

Pointing it out to their face isn't very nice either.

He quickly stood up, bade farewell to Zheng Ren, and prepared to go back and ask Zhang Weiyu.

Zheng Ren didn't care; as long as he got enough to eat, that was fine. If it's delicious, Xiao Yi Ren would probably love it.

Watching her eat happily, Zheng Ren thought a crowded, lively atmosphere wasn't unbearable.

After seeing Director Wei off, Zheng Ren messaged Xiao Yi Ren.

"【Dinner tonight, are you free?】"

"【Sure, what do you want to eat?】"

"【That day we went to the Maoyangdian serving Abai Mountain Goat, and the boss said they'd gotten some more good meat.】"

"【Wow, great!】"

Zheng Ren could see Xiao Yi Ren's joyful, excited smile through his phone screen.

"【Then it's settled; after work I'll come find you.】"

"【Okay.】"

After a brief chat, Zheng Ren went to the System Library to read.

For someone like him, finding a girlfriend is nothing short of a miracle. In his past life he at least saved the Milky Way, backed by the Will of the Great Universe.

The reading time flew by; he called Chang Yue and Liu Zewei, but after thinking, he still didn't call Lao He.

There are too many people; it's really quite annoying.

Just thinking about dinner, with about twenty people at the table, Zheng Ren felt a headache coming on. Just then, Lin Ge showed up again. It was a good opportunity; not inviting him would be awkward. Zheng Ren also felt helpless, exchanged a few words with Lin Ge, knowing he was just running an errand for Zheng Ren's teaching duties, and perfunctorily offered some thanks.

After getting in the car, Zheng Ren received a message from Wu Hui.

He sent over a large pile of films, they are Cen Peilan's PET/CT images.

The PET/CT examination at Harmony Nurture Hospital uses the DiscoveryVCT produced by GE of the United States.

The equipment is good, and the images it produces are clear. Even when transmitted via WeChat, they can be seen very clearly.

Before the examination, fast for more than 4 hours; the tracer is 18F-FDG with radiochemical purity greater than 95%; inject 18F-FDG mCi/kg into the antecubital vein; after lying still for 40–60 minutes, conduct a whole-body PET/CT scan.

Scan layer thickness 3.75 mm, 120 kV, automatic mAs.

PET acquisition uses 3D scanning; body scanning takes 2.5 minutes per Bed Position, with a total of 7 Bed Positions acquired; high-resolution CT scanning, scan layer thickness 0.625 mm, reconstruction layer thickness 1.25 mm; the acquired data is transferred to the AW workstation for image post-processing.

The whole process is meticulous; after all, Harmony Nurture Hospital is a top-tier private hospital, and any examination must live up to the cost.

But the result is rather regrettable: PET/CT diagnosis shows multiple metastases in both lungs and bone metastases.

Wu Hui said that this morning, under CT guidance, they performed a lung needle biopsy, and the pathological tissue has already been sent for examination.

Zheng Ren understood his meaning; at this moment, idle chatter with himself is actually seeking comfort.

But the pathological biopsy report hasn't come out yet; whatever Zheng Ren says, Wu Hui feels uneasy.

This is the most typical mindset of a patient's family; Zheng Ren also has no better solution. Nevertheless, he comforted Wu Hui with a few words, telling him to rest assured and not think too much.

"Zheng Ren, what's wrong with Wu Hui?" After Zheng Ren hung up the phone, Xie Yiren asked.

"He is going to marry Cen Peilan." Zheng Ren thought for a moment, first explained Cen Peilan's condition, then told Xiao Yi Ren that the two of them were going to get married.

There is already enough suffering in this world; one should always be a bit happier. Moreover, the two of them were just a false alarm; once the pathology results come out, all worries will be gone.

If there were no own diagnosis and they went straight to chemotherapy drugs…… that would be a human tragedy.

"Boss, your diagnosis is really top-notch." Professor Rudolf Wagner sat beside Zheng Ren and praised him sincerely.

Xiao Yi Ren, however, let out a "wow".

Zheng Ren ignored the professor, smiling narrowly as he looked at Xiao Yi Ren in the rearview mirror.

"Wu Xiaomei said they are going to hold a concert, and it seems the guest performers include Cen Peilan." Xie Yiren said: "I don't know if their sudden decision to marry will affect the concert."

"There should be no problem; the agency will surely arrange this." Zheng Ren said.

"Will you go attend their wedding?"

"We'll see later…… do you want to go?" Zheng Ren habitually wanted to say "we'll see later," but then thought whether Xiao Yi Ren wanted to go, and immediately asked.

"I've never seen a celebrity wedding." Xie Yiren said with a smile: "We'll see later; hey Zheng Ren, my dad said he'll be back in a few days and asked you to come to our house for a meal."

"... " Zheng Ren was still thinking about the concert and the wedding of Wu Hui and Cen Peilan in his mind, feeling somewhat cheerful. But then a bolt of lightning struck from the sky, blasting him beyond recognition.

Father-in-law……

Ning Shu……

Damn it!

Hearing Zheng Ren fall silent, Xie Yiren smiled and said: "It's nothing, my mom said she likes you."

Mother-in-law?

That girl who looks similar to Xiao Yi Ren, just a bit more mature…… woman, Zheng Ren could never associate those three words "mother-in-law" with her.

But this kind of thing, sooner or later one has to go through it.

Zheng Ren's inner mischievous spirit surged up; he forced a grin and said: "Good."

"Boss, how did you determine that the lung tumor is a metastasis of uterine fibroids?" Seeing that Boss and Boss's wife were no longer speaking, Professor Rudolf Wagner could not resist asking further.

"Those doctors, each one is sharp as hell, yet they can't even detect this kind of benign metastatic tumor. Harmony Nurture Hospital—I even went for a consultation there once, and I felt their medical service was okay."

"Fugui'er, find an opportunity to bring the films for you to look at." Zheng Ren sighed and said: "Don't speak first; I want to think about something."

The professor's speech had a strong rustic flavor; to Zheng Ren it sounded increasingly rich, especially after returning from Xianggang, hearing it again was even more so.

Zheng Ren's mind was in turmoil; although he wanted to cut the Gordian knot quickly, thinking back to his clumsy performance at the last parents' meeting, he truly feared he had made a mistake and would leave a bad impression on Xie Yiren's parents.

Ah, that Ning Shu from Pengxi Xiang is such a good person.

How did it become that, as my father-in-law, he seems so bland in speech and hateful in appearance?

Zheng Ren felt a hostility toward Xie Ning that he could hardly put into words.

Although it was faint, it truly existed.

"Don't worry, it's just going to my house for a meal; my parents said I should go out less and play less, and keep me company more before I get married." Xie Yiren said while driving, talking to Zheng Ren.

"……" Zheng Ren almost bumped his head against the car window.

Bad news came one after another.

"The relevant arrangements have all been made; my dad is also happy, he said the transformation took ten years and exhausted his efforts. If this succeeds, he can truly retire." Xie Yiren said happily.

"Oh." Zheng Ren listlessly.

"Boss, what's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Professor asked.

Zheng Ren gave a helpless, wry smile.
