Chapter 1227: Chapter 1227: Liu Yiqing’s Family Affairs

(Thanks to jung20191215, book friend 20210301106534191268, and gently talking to me for monthly ticket encouragement)

Today is Liu Banxia’s surgery day, which is quite busy for him.

Especially with a right hemihepatectomy scheduled, even for him, it takes a considerable amount of time.

The morning is hectic with one case of colon cancer and one case of rectal cancer, and by the time both surgeries are done, the lunch hour has passed.

"Make time for lunch and rest. For the right hemihepatectomy in the afternoon, I’ll handle the crucial parts, and the rest you guys will do," Liu Banxia said.

"So, basically, when this surgery ends and I can go home to see the two little babies is up to you guys."

Liu Yiqing, who was to assist with the right hemihepatectomy, immediately looked grim, feeling tormented.

If it were a small punishment, like adding a dish or something, it wouldn’t be an issue. But to suffer condemnation from one’s conscience, is this something a person should endure?

"Su Wenhao, can you handle it?" Liu Yiqing asked.

Su Wenhao shook his head, "I’m never fast with surgeries, so don’t count on me, you’ll have to work hard."

"Don’t think we’re having a light day either, it’s pretty tiring, the big boss keeps asking and asking," Xu Yino muttered.

"What did he ask? Didn’t we explain and help last time? What’s so difficult about it?" Liu Yiqing curiously asked.

Xu Yino rolled her eyes, "Over here we’re doing TaTME rectal cancer radical surgery, and over there he’s asking about freeing the right hemihepatectomy, what would that feel like?"

Liu Yiqing glanced at Liu Banxia, "Teacher Liu, you’re enough."

"Just reviewing, I haven’t done a right hemihepatectomy in a while. This patient also has some cirrhosis, so I need to prepare well."

Liu Banxia spoke lightly.

As for how sincere his words were, Xu Yino and the others rated it below zero.

However, for the big boss, this is routine procedure, no telling how he’ll shake things up during the afternoon surgery.

Seeing them arrive, Zhou Qiang hurriedly served the freshly cooked dishes.

Surgery days are tiring, so it counts as Liu Banxia rewarding them. It’s indeed exhausting working alongside him, not only physically but also mentally.

As they were eating, Liu Yiqing’s phone rang, but she glanced at it and then hung up directly.

"Is it another annoying insurance or property sales call?" Xu Yino asked with a smile.

"I shouldn’t have left my number last time. I don’t even know this number, and I don’t have other personal matters," Liu Yiqing said.

"Information security is quite important. But for us, such critical data is sold for just a few cents per piece," Liu Banxia said.

"Can’t we properly control them? I heard there’s facial recognition at sales offices now, saw it in the news yesterday," Xu Yino said.

"Actually, it’s illegal. They need our consent to collect it. But they pretend not to know, which is really awful," Liu Banxia said.

Information security is indeed crucial. Nowadays, personal information has become rampant, becoming tools for scammers.

According to Liu Banxia’s view, the purchase and use of personal information should face stricter penalties, making them hesitant to buy carelessly.

Currently, it’s only dealt with in a negligible manner, what impact can that have? Compared to the profit generated for companies, it doesn’t even count.

So these calls persist endlessly, some selling items while others purely scam.

The topic of personal information became the lunchtime talk. But they didn’t let it slow down their eating speed; they continued at a brisk pace.

Need to seize time to rest, or else they can’t be in their best shape for the surgery in the afternoon.

Back at the emergency center, Wang Chao came running over, "Qingqing, someone’s looking for you. Says he’s your brother, called but couldn’t reach you."

Hearing Wang Chao’s words, Liu Yiqing paused, frowned, "Where is he?"

"I told him to wait in the small meeting room," Wang Chao hurriedly said.

"Nuonuo, could you accompany Teacher Liu in the afternoon surgery?" Liu Yiqing said.

"It’s okay, we can wait for you."

Before Xu Yino could speak, Liu Banxia responded.

Liu Yiqing wrinkled her nose, said nothing, and rushed to the small meeting room.

"Teacher Liu, should I follow along?" Xu Yino asked worriedly.

She also detected something amiss, maybe Liu Yiqing’s relationship with her brother isn’t harmonious.

Besides, Liu Yiqing rarely talks about her family, even if it comes up she changes the subject.

"It’s fine, this girl can handle it. Otherwise, why did I say to wait for her on stage, setting a time limit," Liu Banxia said.

"Just offer appropriate concern, don’t discuss privately. Then we’ll send Xu Yino to inquire, it’s no big deal."

The group nodded.

"How are you feeling? Is the relationship really tense?"

Liu Banxia asked after everyone left.

Wang Chao nodded, "Otherwise, I wouldn’t have arranged for the meeting to be in a small conference room. The relationship between these siblings is somewhat tense."

"It’s really a bit difficult to handle this. The girl seems to have gone through something before. A few times she wanted to tell me, but I stopped her." Liu Banxia said with a frown.

"At the time, I thought if she spoke out, it would just be reopening the wound. Now I somewhat regret it. I should have listened back then."

"So what do we do now? We can’t just ignore it, right? Liu Yiqing is so gentle, she can’t be bullied." Wang Chao said.

"Ah... it’s headache-inducing, even a virtuous official finds it hard to settle family matters. We don’t even know what’s going on, how should we intervene?" Liu Banxia sighed.

Right now, he really regrets not knowing more about Liu Yiqing’s "family matters."

But regret is useless, now she’s entangled in family matters. All that can be done is to actively address it, like treating a disease—prescribe the right medicament.

Anyway, when the girl comes back, we’ll have to communicate with her.

This is also an essential procedure. It’s necessary to assess the girl’s condition to see if she meets the standards to take the stage.

Otherwise, it would be irresponsible towards the patient. Such situations can’t occur on our surgical stage.

"Aren’t you going to rest a bit?" Wang Chao asked.

"It’s fine, for me, this kind of operation isn’t very tiring." Liu Banxia replied.

"I’m actually resting now; since I’m having many of the procedures done by others, I won’t be so tired. It’s just that the surgical process is somewhat intricate and requires slow dissection."

Wang Chao gave up, for this person, you can’t use normal standards to assess him sometimes.

Less than fifteen minutes later, Liu Yiqing came back, her eyes were red, and she seemed quite emotional.

"Want to chat for a bit?" Liu Banxia asked.

Liu Yiqing bit her lip and nodded.

"Wang Chao, keep an eye here, let Su Wenhao start preparing as we approach the stage time, then we’ll head up." Liu Banxia said.

"Alright, leave it to me, no worries."

Wang Chao responded.

"Don’t feel like crying a bit? There’s no one else here now; if you want, you can cry your heart out."

After reaching an empty treatment room, Liu Banxia said.

"I’ve cried enough before, this time it made me angry." Liu Yiqing said.

"My parents passed away early, in a car accident, leaving just me and my brother. It was still fine initially, but he changed after getting married."

"It’s because of that wicked woman, she also wanted to take my share of the money. My heartless brother sided with her."

"I didn’t even know at first. It was later discovered by my aunt, though they’ve already taken a lot of money. I was just in junior high at that time, and they abused me."

"No wonder, you seem gentle but are actually very strong." Liu Banxia nodded.

Now it’s all clear why Liu Yiqing is so sensitive about being mistreated. Don’t be fooled by her easy manner; the real situation must be far from easy.

She’s one of those ill-fated girls; one can’t even imagine how she endured. Since then, she’s truly lived alone, even choosing such a demanding field like medicine.

Her brother is really quite despicable.

"So what does he want from you this time? Money again?" Liu Banxia asked.

Xu Yino shook her head, "That wicked woman has rectal cancer, the tumor is less than 3 cm from the anus, and she wants to come to our hospital for surgery, to preserve the anus."

Liu Banxia was stunned, feeling this world is so peculiar.

When they were mistreating Liu Yiqing and coveting her money, they probably never thought there would be a day they’d have to ask Liu Yiqing for help.

"I’ll go with what you say on this matter; if you say take this case, then we take it. If during the surgery something goes wrong, well then something goes wrong." Liu Banxia said.

"Oh no, that can’t happen. No incidents." Liu Yiqing suddenly got tense.

However, seeing the half-smile on Liu Banxia’s face, she knew he was joking.

"Teacher Liu, what should I do?" Liu Yiqing asked.

"Didn’t I say it already? Do whatever you feel like doing, I’ll follow your lead." Liu Banxia said.

"Anyway, I didn’t say much earlier. I just asked him why he treated me like that before and got all angry about it." Liu Yiqing said.

"You actually know what’s going to happen next. Do you want to show them how strong Liu Yiqing is now?" Liu Banxia asked with a smile.

Liu Yiqing wrinkled her nose, feeling she might have asked the wrong person.

Actually, she knows that if they normally seek treatment, they would be accepted. It’s just that they want better care and a more successful anus preservation, which is why they came to find her.
