[153] A Love Affair on the Hospital Bed (Part 1)

Early the next morning, Zhang Zilong and his companions got up, preparing to return to T City. Liu Zhenjun stubbornly refused to go, repeating his previous statement that he didn't want to trouble Zhang Zilong too much. However, after Zhang Zilong's persistent pleading, he finally went to T City. Zhang Zilong carefully observed the expressions on Liu Zhenjun and Luo Shuzhen's faces and felt that there seemed to be other reasons why they refused to go to T City, but he couldn't pry too much into it.

Unable to force Zhang Zilong, the elderly couple had no choice but to pack their luggage and get into the car. The car slowly drove towards T City without stopping. They arrived in T City in the afternoon. Fearing that Liu Zhenjun's foot injury might recur, Zhang Zilong drove directly to the T City Central Hospital.

"Miss, I need a high-class nursing room. How much does it cost?" Zhang Zilong asked the cute young woman at the hospital reception.

"The highest-class nursing room is 12,000 yuan a day, but I don't have the authority to open that. Only the hospital director has the authority to open high-class nursing rooms," the young woman replied truthfully.

"Alright, tell me how to get to the director's office," Zhang Zilong asked the receptionist. Following her directions, he headed towards the so-called director's office at the T City Central Hospital. After several turns and twists, he finally saw a small house resembling a villa. Zhang Zilong was a little confused. Could this be the director's office? Entering the villa-like house, Zhang Zilong suddenly realized that all the promising officials in the hospital had their offices here. He searched and finally found the words "Director's Office" on a door at the very back. He knocked, but there was no response. Thinking the person wasn't there, he pressed his ear to the door and listened intently. He only heard heavy breathing and a woman's moans—"Hmm...oh...oh...hmm." Zhang Zilong was familiar with these sounds; he was no longer a novice. He had a general idea of what kind of person the director was doing this in his office during working hours. While others were waiting for help, he was messing around here. Zhang Zilong was furious. He knocked hard on the door a few times, then listened closely. The sounds inside stopped abruptly, and he heard a woman's seductive voice saying, "Director, why aren't you moving? Hurry up and move! Move harder, it's so itchy inside!"

"Move my ass! Keep it down, you slut! Didn't you hear who the hell is knocking?" a man's voice replied. He knew without a doubt that it was the director's voice.

Seeing that there was still no response, Zhang Zilong knocked a few more times. Finally, the director inside couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Who is it? What do you want? Come back tomorrow. We're not seeing anyone today."

"Are you the director of the T City Central Hospital? I'm from the Procuratorate. I need to talk to you about something," Zhang Zilong said, straightening his voice and pretending to be serious.

"What? From the Inspection Bureau?" The director jumped in fright. No matter how high your rank, who isn't afraid of the Inspection Bureau? They can make trouble for you if you're innocent, and they can make sure you're innocent if you are. The director's erection inside the woman instantly went limp. He hurriedly urged her, "You fucking slut, you've really ruined me this time! What the hell are you doing, acting all horny during the day? Hurry up and get dressed!" Then came the rustling sound of clothes being put on inside.

"Please wait a moment," the director said, clearly addressing the imposter outside.

After a while, the door opened, and a woman answered. Zhang Zilong looked her over carefully. Her face was still flushed, her clothes were wrinkled, and, even more ridiculously, her stockings had a hole in them.

"Please come in," the woman said, her head bowed, avoiding Zhang Zilong's sharp gaze.

Zhang Zilong walked in, and as he passed the woman, he glanced down at her neckline and was almost stunned. The woman, perhaps in a rush, hadn't even put on a bra, and Zhang Zilong could clearly see two thumb-sized nipples. Zhang Zilong strode into the office. There

sat an old man sitting upright in front of him. The old man was clearly a heavyweight; sitting in the soft leather chair, his shoulders were almost as high as the desk. He was chubby and all flesh, and his forehead was bald. Zhang Zilong thought of the phrase "exceptionally intelligent," but he wondered if this fat man was really that smart.

Zhang Zilong pulled out a chair and sat directly opposite the fat man. He looked at the nameplate on the desk—"Director of T City Central Hospital, Huang Yaoming." Zhang Zilong almost laughed out loud. His surname was indeed fitting; it was indeed quite "Huang."

"Are you a prosecutor from the procuratorate?" Still breathless from the intense passion of the previous encounter, Huang Yaoming's words were punctuated by sweat dripping from his forehead. Perhaps genuinely afraid that Zhang Zilong was from the procuratorate, he cautiously inquired, offering Zhang Zilong a cigarette. Zhang Zilong glanced at it, cursing inwardly, "Damn, he's really rich, top-quality Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes.

" "Are you Director Huang?" Zhang Zilong asked in a deliberately deep voice, putting the cigarette in his mouth without lighting it.

Seeing Zhang Zilong's demeanor, Huang Yaoming became more convinced and immediately became even more enthusiastic.

"Yes, yes, I am Huang Yaoming. May I ask what brings you here today, Prosecutor?" Huang Yaoming asked cautiously.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not from the procuratorate. I was just joking with you," Zhang Zilong said slowly, taking a deep drag of his cigarette and exhaling the smoke onto Huang Yaoming's fleshy face.

"What? You're playing me?" Huang Yaoming's face turned ashen after Zhang Zilong said he wasn't from the inspection bureau.

"No, no, I was just joking. How else would Director Huang open the door? Don't you think so?" Zhang Zilong said with a grin.

"You...?! Speak up, what do you want?" Huang Yaoming was furious, but because he was the director, he couldn't vent his anger. In his mind, he had already cursed Zhang Zilong's ancestors for eighteen generations.

"Oh, it's like this, I want to open a high-end nursing room. They said only the director has that authority, so I came to you." Zhang Zilong said with that same grin.

"Haha, kid, do you know that a high-end nursing room costs twelve thousand a day? Can you afford it?" Huang Yaoming became arrogant as soon as he saw that Zhang Zilong had come to ask him for help.

"Whether I can afford it or not is my business. Why do you care so much? Just handle the paperwork." Zhang Zilong's face darkened as he stared at Huang Yaoming.

"What if I don't open it? What can you do to me? Let me tell you, these VIP rooms are limited, it's not something you can just buy with money. What's your family's background?" Huang Yaoming said arrogantly to Zhang Zilong.

"No background, I'm just a laborer," Zhang Zilong replied truthfully.

"Are you fucking crazy? A laborer trying to stay in a VIP room, who do you think you are? You're fucking crazy, you ruined my whole afternoon," Huang Yaoming spat on the ground and said to Zhang Zilong, his face full of disdain.

"You fucking dare say that again?" Zhang Zilong suddenly stared at Huang Yaoming with a cold look in his eyes.

"So what if I say it? You're a complete idiot," Huang Yaoming said fearlessly.

Zhang Zilong reached out and grabbed Huang Yaoming by the neck, forcefully lifting his heavy body up, and said fiercely, "Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now."

"I...I...I...believe," Huang Yaoming managed to say a few words with difficulty.

"Murder! Murder!" The woman who had just brought in two cups of tea was terrified by the scene. She immediately threw the tea on the ground and rushed outside shouting.

Zhang Zilong was also stunned. He had only intended to scare this fat pig, but things had turned out this way. Not wanting to escalate the situation, Zhang Zilong released Huang Yaoming and threw him onto a chair. As soon as Zhang Zilong let go, Huang Yaoming coughed incessantly, his neck constricted. At that moment, the door opened, and several security guards wielding stun guns rushed in and surrounded Zhang Zilong.

"Arrest him and take him to the police station. No, tie him up first, let me vent my anger before sending him away," Huang Yaoming said fiercely to Zhang Zilong after taking two steps away.

"Kid, are you going to surrender yourself or do we have to do it? If we have to, don't blame us for being impolite," a security guard said to Zhang Zilong with a grin.

Zhang Zilong suddenly smiled and said, "Is that so? Then we'll see if you have the skills."

"Good kid, you're arrogant enough. Go, beat him to death! How dare you lay a hand on the dean!" After saying that, they were about to attack Zhang Zilong.

"Stop!" At this moment, a voice suddenly shouted from outside the door.

Everyone looked out and saw it was Zhu Shi.

"Oh, Young Master Zhu, what brings you here? Please, have a seat, please have a seat," Huang Yaoming's face changed immediately when he saw Zhu Shi, and he greeted him with a smile.

"Dean Huang, what's going on?" Zhu Shi, his face also ashen, pointed at Zhang Zilong and asked Huang Yaoming.

"Oh, it's nothing, just a small matter. It's just a thug causing trouble here. Don't take it to heart. What are you guys doing? Hurry up and take this thug away. Don't let him affect Young Master Zhu's mood," Huang Yaoming shouted at the security guards. "Go to hell!" Pig Shit couldn't help but curse as well, walking over to Zhang Zilong and saying, "Brother, what are you doing here? Didn't you say you were on a business trip?"

"Can't I come back just because I went? You're way more powerful than me now. That fat pig is so arrogant, but when you come, he acts like he's seen his grandfather," Zhang Zilong couldn't help but tease Pig Shit.

"No way, brother, what are you doing at the hospital?" Pig Shit asked.

“A friend’s father got injured, so I brought him here to take care of him. Who knew that this damn hospital’s VIP nursing room required this fat pig’s signature to open, so I came to find this fat pig. Who knew this fat pig would act all high and mighty in front of me? You know, I’m a bit impulsive, so I hit him,” Zhang Zilong said with a laugh, as if he were telling a very funny story.

“Dean Huang, this is my brother. You’re in charge of handling things today. Let me tell you first, my brother’s identity is not ordinary,” Pig Shit turned to Huang Yaoming and said.

Huang Yaoming was completely dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected that a lowly laborer was actually the brother of the Zhu family’s young master, and now it seemed that his identity was indeed extraordinary. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

“You lot, get out of here!” Huang Yaoming shouted at the security guards, then walked up to Zhang Zilong and said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, sir. Please don’t hold it against me, I’m really sorry. You wanted a nursing room, right? I’ll open it right away, the best one, and I have the authority to do so, all free of charge,” Huang Yaoming blurted out.

[154] A Love Affair on the Hospital Bed (Part Two)

"It would have been so much better if you

had said this sooner," Zhang Zilong said, walking out of the so-called dean's office without even glancing at him. "Pig Shit, what are you doing here? Is someone in your family sick?" Zhang Zilong asked.

"No, it's not someone in my family who's sick, it's someone in your family who's sick.

" "My family? Who?" Zhang Zilong asked

, puzzled. He was the only one in his family right now. "Tell me, don't get agitated, it's your father," Pig Shit said, afraid Zhang Zilong would overreact.

"What? When did this happen?" Zhang Zilong asked, startled.

"Don't worry about what happened while you were gone. Everyone gets sick sometimes, especially your father, who's always so busy with work. I suspect it's because of the immense pressure of the election campaign. I heard he was originally the designated successor to the mayor, and the city party secretary was also from his faction. But recently, there seems to be some news that the central government is sending someone directly to replace the mayor. Think about it, what kind of city is T City? Becoming mayor here is practically entering the central government's power circle. Your father probably couldn't handle this news and that's why he fell ill. I just came here to talk to Dean Huang about your father's detailed condition," Pig Shit said slowly.

"Pig Shit, thank you so much," Zhang Zilong said sincerely.

"Don't thank me. We're brothers in the city, your dad is my dad too. Besides, all these years, your aunt and uncle have been so good to me, practically like their own son. Of course, I'll take care of them since you're not around," Pig Shit chuckled and continued, "But, brother, really, why are you so strong-willed? They're both getting old. It's good that nothing happened this time, but what if something really happened and they didn't even have any family around? I think your uncle treated you like that back then because he wanted to be good to you. Who wouldn't feel heartache for their own son?"

"Let's talk about this later. I have some things to take care of right now. Tell me their room number, and I'll sneak over to see them later. Please be understanding and help me take care of them, okay?" Zhang Zilong said to Pig Shit after thinking for a while.

"They're in ICU 003, but I don't need to take care of them now. Qin Cai takes care of them every day, like a daughter-in-law. Don't you think you told her about your relationship with your father?" Pig Shit said with a smile.

"Qin Cai? No? She couldn't possibly know about the relationship between my dad and me," Zhang Zilong said, equally surprised.

"No? That's quite strange. Maybe she really wants to use your dad's connection, but now that your dad is almost gone, there's no reason for her to be so attentive," Zhu Shi asked curiously. "

Oh well, forget it, I'm too lazy to think about it. Let her be. You go check on him first, I'm going out for a bit," Zhang Zilong said, relieved to know his father wasn't seriously injured.

Holding the free pass Huang Yaoming had given him, Zhang Zilong went to the front desk and booked a VIP nursing room. A VIP nursing room wasn't just a room; it offered comprehensive care, including nursing staff, food, and lodging.

"Zilong, how much does this cost?" Liu Zhenjun asked as Zhang Zilong carried him to the room.

"Uncle, don't worry about the money, it's all free," Zhang Zilong said with a laugh.

"Free?" Not only Liu Zhenjun, but also Luo Shuzhen and Liu Fang said this, all looking at Zhang Zilong with surprise.

"Yes, completely free," Zhang Zilong said with a helpless smile.

"Do you know the hospital director here?" Liu Fang cautiously guessed.

"Yes, we just met. Don't even think about it. Anyway, it's free, so let's use whatever we can get for free," Zhang Zilong laughed, carrying Liu Zhenjun up the elevator. Liu Zhenjun's ward was in ward 012. After settling Liu Zhenjun in, Zhang Zilong went outside again and bought some fast food. Since the hospital wasn't delivering meals at this time, the group chatted in the ward.

Zhang Zilong said to Liu Zhenjun, "Uncle, I know you've always had a dream of promoting Hunan cuisine. I happen to have some funds now, and I've always wanted to open a Hunan restaurant, but I haven't been able to find a good Hunan chef. I wonder if you could help me with this?"

"Really?" Liu Zhenjun's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing Zhang Zilong's words.

"It's true, Uncle. I've wanted to open a Hunan restaurant for a long time, and I just happened to run into you this time. So, I'm asking you to help me with this. If you agree, I'll go back and prepare everything for opening the shop right now. I can guarantee that it will open as soon as you recover." Zhang Zilong spoke very sincerely. This was something he had suddenly thought of last night. He could make money and also help Liu Zhenjun fulfill his wish. Why wouldn't he do it? However, he absolutely couldn't let Liu Zhenjun know that he was opening the shop to help him fulfill his wish. With such a strong sense of pride, he definitely wouldn't be able to stand it. Zhang Zilong understood this very well because he himself was a person with an extremely strong sense of pride.

"Zilong, I know you're a good boy. You said you wanted to open a shop to help your uncle fulfill his wish and avoid returning to that miserable village, right? I understand all of this. You also know that I'm a very proud person and I've never wanted to accept even the smallest favor from others. But today, I'm agreeing to this for several reasons. First, because you're Fang'er's boyfriend, I raised her all these years, and today I'm entrusting my precious daughter to you. I have a clear conscience in accepting this from you. Second, I can tell you, and I'm not bragging, but it's hard to find a Hunan cuisine chef with my skills these days. If you manage it well, I can guarantee you'll make money. So, I don't feel like I owe you anything. Since you have this idea, I'll focus on recovering from my injury. But let me tell you, doing business is not child's play. There are many intricacies involved. Before you think about it, you should consult someone with experience." Liu Zhenjun instructed Zhang Zilong.

Zhang Zilong was a little embarrassed that Liu Zhenjun could see through everything, but he was immediately touched by Liu Zhenjun's straightforwardness and said with a smile, "Uncle, you don't need to worry about any of this. Just focus on recovering. I don't want to open my Hunan restaurant without a head chef."

At this, Luo Shuzhen and Liu Fang looked at Zhang Zilong with gratitude. Zhang Zilong didn't linger, as he was concerned about his father's condition, and left the ward. Liu Fang, currently unemployed, stayed behind. The VIP wards were on the fifth floor, and the special-grade wards were on the sixth floor. Zhang Zilong's father was staying there. Don't be too surprised; it's not unusual for a deputy mayor to stay in a special-grade ward. Even if he didn't want to stay there, I doubt any hospital would dare to put him in a regular ward.

Zhang Zilong went to the sixth floor, because this was the special-grade ward. The wards were all duplexes. Zhang Zilong approached Special Nurse 003 but didn't dare go in. He was still afraid, afraid that his parents would see that he was still a failure. Fortunately, his hearing was extremely sharp. Although the room was well soundproofed, he could still hear their every move through the door.

"Uncle, are you thirsty? Shall I get you a glass of water?" Clearly, Zhang Zilong heard Qin Cai's voice.

"Little Qin, it's really hard on you, taking care of this old man every day instead of going to work," came Zhang Zilong's father, Zhang Minsheng's voice.

"Don't thank me, Uncle, I'm Zilong's girlfriend. Taking care of you is only right," Qin Cai's voice replied.

What? Girlfriend? Zhang Zilong was startled, thinking to himself, "When did she become my girlfriend?"

"Ah, Zilong is truly blessed to have found such a good boy like you. But do you know where he is now? He seems to have disappeared since he joined the army," Zhang Zilong's mother sighed. Zhang Zilong could hear the intense longing in her voice.

"He's still in the army. We've known each other for a long time, kind of like puppy love. Zilong always forbade me to tell you. When he heard you were sick, he was very worried, so he asked me to come and take care of you," Qin Cai whispered. Zhang Zilong didn't see her, but he could sense that she must be very shy.

Zhang Zilong was initially furious about Qin Cai inquiring about his identity and claiming to be his girlfriend. However, after hearing Qin Cai's explanation, Zhang Zilong finally understood. Qin Cai wasn't trying to get closer to his father through him. The reasons were simple: first, she was exonerating herself; second, his father was no longer eligible to run for mayor. In officialdom, failing to get promoted meant the end of one's career. The high-ranking official in Beijing wouldn't tolerate the existence of Zhang Zilong's father, an adversary. Therefore, Zhang Zilong felt that Qin Cai's actions were either because she truly loved him or out of concern for a friend. Zhang Zilong was suddenly moved. In his heart, Qin Cai had always been a very rational woman, almost to the point of being cunning. But at this moment, Zhang Zilong was genuinely touched.

“Oh, look how thoughtful Zilong is. He still remembers us even while he’s in the army. He must have suffered a lot there. It’s so hard on him,” Zhang’s mother said, tears welling up in her eyes. Suddenly, she turned to Zhang Zilong’s father, Zhang Minsheng, and said, “It’s all your fault! You’re the one who drove him away. If it weren’t for you, how could Zilong have joined the army? How could he have stayed away for so many years? Look at other people’s children, they’re all married and have children by now. It’s all your fault.”

“How can it be me again? I was just trying to help him. I just wanted to boost his pride and let him experience the military. Yes, we’re both too strong-willed. I hope he won’t blame me,” Zhang Minsheng said slowly.

“No, Zilong often talks about you. He says that if it weren’t for your guidance back then, he doesn’t know what he would be like now. He says he hasn’t achieved anything yet and is too ashamed to come back to see you two,” Qin Cai quickly comforted him.

“Sigh, this child, just like me back then, just as competitive. Actually, as parents, we don’t care whether our children can achieve success in their careers, as long as they can live happily, we are at ease. I only provoked him to make him more responsible, to be able to take on responsibilities like a man,” Zhang Minsheng sighed.

Hearing this, Zhang Zilong could no longer hold back, tears streaming down his face. Today, he finally understood his parents’ good intentions and felt ashamed of his hatred for his father back then. Yes, what parent in the world doesn’t think about their children?

[155] A Love Affair on the Hospital Bed (Part Three)

“Zilong? What are you doing here?” Suddenly, someone spoke behind him. Zhang Zilong turned around in surprise and saw that it was Lin Wanqing.

Startled, Zhang Zilong hurriedly wiped away his tears and said in a panic, “I…I just happened to be passing by. Is there something you need? If so, I’ll be going.” After saying that, Zhang Zilong ignored Lin Wanqing’s surprised look and fled.

"Zilong...Zilong!" Lin Wanqing kept calling out, but Zhang Zilong ran away without turning his head.

Lin Wanqing was heartbroken. Since their breakup, she had wanted to call Zhang Zilong countless times. Her love for him had penetrated to the bone, but her strong will prevented her from accepting that he had another woman, and she wouldn't allow herself to be the first to contact him. These past few days had been terrible; Zhang Zilong's image was constantly on her mind. She couldn't sleep at night. The impulse in her heart compelled her to go find him, but the thought of Zhao Yazhi by his side made her heart ache. This morning, on her way to work, she received news that Vice Mayor Zhang was ill. Although she knew the inside story that Vice Mayor Zhang might not be elected, she still came to the hospital to visit him because Zhang Minsheng and his wife had always treated her very well, like their own daughter.

Lin Wanqing watched Zhang Zilong's departing figure, wiped away her tears, and turned to knock on the door.

"Who is it? I'll go open the door," said Zhang Zilong's mother, Wang Yufen.

"Auntie, I'll go," Qin Cai said as she opened the door. Upon opening it, both women exclaimed, "Wanqing!"

"Qin Cai!"

"What are you doing here?" Lin Wanqing asked.

"Me? Um... I came to see Uncle Zhang," Qin Cai said somewhat awkwardly, worried that Lin Wanqing might discover her purpose, since Zhang Zilong was Lin Wanqing's boyfriend and also her good friend.

"Is that so? I also came to see Uncle Zhang," Lin Wanqing said, then greeted Wang Yufen and Zhang Minsheng, "Hello, Uncle and Auntie," before placing the gifts on the cabinet.

"You silly child, you came to see us, but why bring so much? We two old folks can't possibly eat all of this, it's all a waste," Wang Yufen grumbled with a laugh.

"No, it's just some cheap stuff. Uncle, are you feeling better? I'm so sorry, I didn't even hear about your hospitalization, so I was busy until today to come see you. I didn't even take care of you while you were sick," Lin Wanqing said with a smile.

“You really miss your father, kid. Daosheng is a loyal man. It’s alright. Xiao Qin has been taking care of me here these past few days. I’m almost better and I’m planning to be discharged in a few days,” Zhang Minsheng said with a smile.

"You've been here these past few days?" Lin Wanqing turned around in surprise to look at Qin Cai. Lin Wanqing had only casually mentioned coming to take care of Zhang Minsheng; she hadn't expected Qin Cai to be here for several days. In her mind, Qin Cai's relationship with Zhang Minsheng was merely based on some mutual benefit, and they weren't very close. Now that Zhang Minsheng was nearing his downfall, there was no reason for Qin Cai to be so kind to him.

"Yes, it's been thanks to Xiao Qin for taking care of us these past few days. Wanqing, sit down, you young people should have a good chat," Wang Yufen invited Lin Wanqing to sit next to Qin Cai.

"Cai'er, what have you been doing lately? Why haven't you contacted me at all? It's outrageous!" Lin Wanqing complained to Qin Cai.

"Have I been busy lately? You've been busy too. And you're criticizing me, haven't you invited me to get a beauty treatment in all these days?" Qin Cai also scolded with a smile; these were the kinds of things women gossiped about.

"By the way, Qin Cai, let me ask you, how's he doing with you lately?" Lin Wanqing suddenly thought of Zhang Zilong, but since Zhang Minsheng and his wife were present, she didn't mention Zhang Zilong's name.

"It's alright," Qin Cai felt quite awkward whenever Zhang Zilong was mentioned, especially with Zhang Minsheng and his wife present.

"Yes, I just saw him outside the door. Did he come with you?" Lin Wanqing asked because Zhang Zilong had been asked to go to security by Qin Cai.

"What? Zilong was just outside the door?" Qin Cai exclaimed in surprise, forgetting that Zhang Minsheng and his wife were right there.

"Zilong? Xiao Qin, you said Zilong was just outside the door?" Wang Yufen became sensitive upon hearing the name Zilong and asked Qin Cai anxiously.

"Yes, Zhang Zilong was just outside the door. I was wondering why he was here. I saw tears in the corners of his eyes. What's wrong? Didn't Zilong come with you?" Lin Wanqing asked, noticing the strange expressions on Qin Cai and Wang Yufen's faces.

"No," Qin Cai knew things had gotten out of control and whispered.

Wang Yufen hurriedly ran out to open the door, searching everywhere for Zhang Zilong, but only found the corridor empty. Disappointed, she returned and shook her head at Zhang Minsheng, who also looked expectant.

"You? You know Zilong?" Lin Wanqing asked, puzzled by their expressions.

"More than just know him, Zilong is our son," Wang Yufen couldn't help but shed tears again.

"Son? You're Zilong's father?" Lin Wanqing, her mind still reeling, exclaimed in surprise to Zhang Minsheng.

"Yes, not many people know about this. Xiao Qin, please tell me everything clearly. Why is Zilong here, and it seems Wanqing is quite familiar with him?" Zhang Minsheng had already noticed something amiss and asked Qin Cai.

Looking into Zhang Minsheng's intelligent eyes, Qin Cai knew there was no point in lying to him, so she immediately revealed, "Actually, Zilong returned to T City a long time ago, but he hasn't come back to see you. And Wanqing, she... she's Zilong's boss and girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?" Mr. and Mrs. Zhang were stunned by this question.

"Yes, Wanqing is Zilong's girlfriend, and I was just an excuse to come and greet you. I am Zilong's colleague. He works at our company now. Wanqing, I'm sorry," Qin Cai said to Lin Wanqing, her face flushed.

These words stunned many people, and the ward fell silent for a moment. Lin Wanqing spoke first, saying to Qin Cai, "Cai'er, there's no need to hide it. I know you like Zilong. I've had that feeling from the beginning, but I didn't pay much attention. He's a very charming man; few women wouldn't be captivated by him. You, me, and Zhao Yazhi—all the daughters of the four major families in T City, except for the Zhu family, have fallen for him. Cai'er, you don't need to be shy. If you like him, just like him. Zilong and I broke up a long time ago, but we're still good friends. I'll wish you both well." Lin Wanqing said calmly to Qin Cai, but although she spoke lightly, everyone could see the pain in her heart. She turned to Zhang Minsheng with a forced smile and said, "Uncle Zhang, I'm sorry. I never knew you were Zilong's father. I was wondering about it. Last time, at Cai'er's birthday party, I insisted on dragging him to meet you, but he absolutely refused. I thought he just didn't like meeting strangers. Now I know, haha."

"Hey, we old folks don't understand your young people's affairs. If that brat Zilong dares to do anything to offend you, just tell me, and I'll beat him to death." Zhang Minsheng, having been in the officialdom for so long, managed to gloss over this awkward situation with a few words, something no one else would know how to say.

"Do you know where Zilong is now?" Wang Yufen asked anxiously.

"Zilong applied for a job at my company as soon as he came back from the army. He had nothing, even his file was blank. He seemed to have been rejected countless times elsewhere. At first, I didn't want him because of his slovenly appearance, but after witnessing his martial arts skills, I kept him. He's been doing very well at our company. I've heard from people in the industry that his martial arts skills are definitely from special forces. But Zilong isn't with our company now; he's at Cai'er's company protecting her. It's a mission, I guess," Lin Wanqing said calmly. Every time she talked about Zhang Zilong, her heart ached.

"Then, Xiao Qin, you should know where Zilong is now, right?" Wang Yufen turned to Qin Cai and asked.

"I'm sorry, Auntie, I don't know either. He's usually at the company, but he told me he had something to do and went out these past few days, and hasn't come back," Qin Cai said, head down.

"You're both his girlfriends, and you don't even know where he lives?" Wang Yufen exclaimed impatiently, even blurting out that they were his girlfriends, prompting Zhang Minsheng, who was standing nearby, to cough repeatedly to remind her.

"I don't know."

"I don't know either." Although both of them heard Wang Yufen say that they were his girlfriends, neither of them could refute it, because it was true; they were indeed Zhang Zilong's girlfriends, even if they had been in the past.

"Then you must have his phone number, right?" Wang Yufen was completely speechless. Both of them claimed to be her son's girlfriends, but they didn't even know where her son lived.

"Yes," Qin Cai and Lin Wanqing said in unison, then unconsciously looked at each other, their faces turning red.

At that moment, Zhang Zilong was sitting in a small, century-old shop next to the hospital, drinking. Since hearing those words, he felt a little better, but also a lot more pain. He couldn't forgive himself for his indifference towards his parents over the years. He didn't know how many tears his immaturity had caused them, how many gray hairs they had turned.

Just then, a phone call came in. It was Qin Cai. Zhang Zilong hesitated for a moment, then answered, "What is it, Cai'er?"

"Zilong, is that you?" A trembling woman's voice came through. Zhang Zilong recognized the voice all too well; it was his mother, Wang Yufen's. Hearing his mother's trembling voice, tears welled up in Zhang Zilong's eyes.

"Hello, is that you? Zilong, it's Mom," Wang Yufen repeated.

"It's me, Mom," Zhang Zilong finally broke down in tears.

"Look at you, a grown man crying like that, you haven't grown up at all!" Hearing her son's cries, Wang Yufen also cried, continuing to scold him.

"Mom, don't say anything more. Wait for me in the ward, I'm coming right now." Hearing his mother's voice, Zhang Zilong had forgotten how long he had longed to hear it. The moment he heard her voice, he forgot everything. All he wanted was to run into his mother's arms and cry in her embrace, just like before.

Zhang Zilong ran wildly to the room he had just been in. He pushed open the door, went inside, and ignored Lin Wanqing and Qin Cai standing nearby. He knelt directly in front of Zhang Minsheng and Wang Yufen, bowing his head and kowtowing three times to the ground until his forehead bled. The sight pained them all.

"Dad, Mom, your son is unfilial. You've suffered so much all these years," Zhang Zilong said, his voice trembling with tears in his eyes.

Wang Yufen, heartbroken, pulled Zhang Zilong into her arms and patted his back like she did when he was a child, saying, "Zilong, the past is the past. Your parents don't blame you. Actually, it was your parents who made the mistakes."

[156] A Love Affair on the Hospital Bed (Part Four)

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Zhang Zilong, immersed in his mother's love, immediately came to his senses. Qin Cai ran to open the door. It was Zhu Shi, carrying a lot of tonics.

"Brother, you're here?" Zhu Youcai, who walked in, was very surprised to see Zhang Zilong standing inside.

"Yes, I'm back," Zhang Zilong said in a low voice.

"You...you're all here too?" Looking at Lin Wanqing and Qin Cai standing to the side, Zhu Youcai really admired Zhang Zilong's talent.

"You child, you're here every day and bring so many things every day," Wang Yufen wiped away her tears and began to complain again.

"Hehe?" Zhu Youcai chuckled awkwardly.

The group chatted for a while in the hospital, but Zhu Youcai finally said he had to leave.

"Uncle and Aunt, I have to go now, I have some things to do at the company," Zhu Youcai said to Zhang Minsheng.

"When did you start having things to do?" Zhang Zilong asked curiously.

"Brother, don't look down on me. I'm not the same person I used to be. I'm the general manager of Zhu Qin Foreign Trade Company now. The company was only recently established, but business is booming, and we've made a lot of money. We're preparing to discuss with the Qin family to further expand our investment. To pool our funds, my sister has already started selling off some of her less profitable companies. My sister has been busy, and I feel bad about being idle, so I have to go now," Zhu Youcai said with a grin.

"Is it really that profitable?" Zhang Zilong asked doubtfully.

"It's really profitable. Let's get started. My sister and I were a bit hesitant at first, but after observing for a while, we found that the profit margin in this industry is extremely high, almost like robbery. So, we're working on expanding our investment."

"It's good that you're making money, but it's always better to be conservative. Some things you might only see on the surface. Anyway, I'm relieved to see you're showing some promise now," Zhang Zilong said with a smile, then patted Zhu Youcai on the shoulder and saw him out.

"Uncle and Aunt, we'll be going now too," Qin Cai and Lin Wanqing said, getting up to say goodbye to Zhang Minsheng and his wife.

"Why don't you sit down for a bit?" Zhang Zilong didn't know what to say; all three of them felt a bit awkward.

"No, I have something to do," Lin Wanqing said, bowing her head.

"Oh, I also have some things to do at the company. If you're not busy lately, you can stay here and keep Uncle and Aunt company. Don't worry about the company," Qin Cai added.

"Okay then, I won't see you out," Zhang Zilong said.

Just as Qin Cai and Lin Wanqing were walking out of the room, Zhang Zilong suddenly called out, "Thank you."

Both women turned back, giving Zhang Zilong a meaningful look before leaving. However, Qin Cai appeared preoccupied, while Lin Wanqing's tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Zilong, what exactly is your relationship with these two girls?" Wang Yufen asked Zhang Zilong after Qin Cai and Lin Wanqing left.

"They're both my superiors. Wanqing is my ex-girlfriend," Zhang Zilong said casually.

"Is that really all?" Wang Yufen asked incredulously.

"Yes,"

Wang Yufen said, "Zilong, from my perspective as a woman, both of these girls are very interested in you. I can tell from the way they look at you. They're both exceptional girls. I don't care about Wanqing anymore, since you've already broken up. But I think Qin Cai is a good girl. She's not only beautiful, but also kind and loyal. She's stayed with us at the hospital for so long without a single complaint. She's from a wealthy family, yet she's willing to take care of us two old folks. You should cherish this kindness. If you betray her, I'll never forgive you." Wang Yufen seemed to have decided on her daughter-in-law.

"Really? Mom, we're just colleagues, at most good friends," Zhang Zilong said helplessly.

"She's already called herself your girlfriend, what more do you want? Do you expect a girl to lower herself and chase after you? Are you a blockhead? You're just like your father back in the day! You're not young anymore, it's time to get married. Your mother has made the decision for you: Qin Cai is the girl. Go back and be with her. Women love sweet talk. If you don't know how, go buy a book and learn that men should be more proactive. If you haven't won this girl back by the time your father is discharged from the hospital, don't blame your mother for disowning you." "Look at Old Li at work, he's the same age as your father, and his grandson is already old enough to run errands. I, your mother, have no other wishes in this life, just to have a grandson and live a peaceful old age. People say there are three unfilial acts, the greatest of which is having no offspring. Whether you're filial or not is up to you." Wang Yufen's words made Zhang Zilong break out in a cold sweat. Actually, it wasn't entirely Wang Yufen's fault; she could tell at a glance that Zhang Zilong was a womanizer and still couldn't let go of Lin Wanqing. She herself really wanted a grandson, so she gave Zhang Zilong a strong dose of "medicine.

" "Mom, seriously? You didn't even ask if she liked me before giving orders! Even if she does like me, you should at least consider whether your son likes her too! How can you be so direct?" Zhang Zilong was utterly speechless at his mother.

"Feelings are cultivated, aren't they? It's just a matter of time. After marriage, you'll have most of your lives to nurture them. Anyway, I've decided on Qin Cai as my wife, and there's nothing more to say. If you don't marry her, don't even bother entering our family. For the past eight years, it's just been the two of us old folks living alone. At worst, you won't come back, and we'll pretend we don't have a son like you," Wang Yufen said, tears streaming down her face.

Mentioning the past eight years, Zhang Zilong felt a pang of heartache. This was his Achilles' heel; he felt he owed his parents too much over the past eight years. Hearing Wang Yufen's words, Zhang Zilong dared not say a word. He thought to himself, "Fine, I'll pursue her then. I'll risk everything, even my pride." But he didn't know what to do with all the women around him. Zhang Zilong was now deeply troubled. He thought to himself, "If I'd known it would be like this, I wouldn't have entered this house."

“Zilong, stop arguing with him. That's just a woman's perspective. It's best to let things take their natural course. Come on, let me ask you, what have you been through all these years?” Zhang Minsheng said to Zhang Zilong.

“Dad, I've been in the army all these years. I only came back a few months ago,” Zhang Zilong replied, secretly grateful for his father's rescue. If he continued, he was certain Wang Yufen would even resort to hanging herself. Wang Yufen knew he was filial from a young age, and this tactic had always worked on Zhang Zilong.

“You're back? Why did you come back all of a sudden?” Zhang Minsheng frowned and asked.

“Isn't it good that you're back? Did you want your son to never come back?” Wang Yufen was furious that Zhang Minsheng had interrupted her.

“Dad, to tell you the truth, I was discharged from the army. But I can assure you that I have never done anything harmful to the Party and the people. My discharge was a decision made by higher authorities. Not only me, but our entire squad was expelled. As for the specifics, we signed a confidentiality agreement in the army, so I cannot tell you.” Zhang Zilong did not want to be looked down upon by his father, so he told him the truth.

“I believe in you. Actually, it’s good that you’re back. My initial purpose in sending you to the army was to toughen you up and make you a real man. Now it seems that purpose has been achieved, and even better than I imagined. I know that looking into your eyes, I can tell you must have suffered a lot over the years, but what man hasn’t suffered? A man who hasn’t suffered isn’t a man. Men are forged through hardship. I believe you can definitely achieve great things. While your father is still in power, tell me what you need, and I’ll do my best to help you. Although I probably won’t have power for a while, in T City, few people dare to disobey my word, Zhang Minsheng.” Zhang Minsheng patted Zhang Zilong’s shoulder excitedly.

Wang Yufen, who was standing to the side, was overjoyed to see this. Although Zhang Minsheng had always said he didn’t have this son, since seeing Zhang Zilong, he seemed to have become ten years younger, completely free of any sickly appearance, and much more energetic.

"Dad, I do have some money on hand right now, but I haven't decided what to do with it yet. I'll tell you when I do. I was just about to ask you, there are rumors that you were originally slated for mayor, but suddenly someone else was sent down from above. Is that true?" Zhang Zilong asked with concern. No one, after sitting in the center of power for so long, would feel a profound sense of loss upon suddenly being left behind.

"While that's not exactly true, it's close. How many people can accurately predict things in officialdom? When I first entered officialdom, I was full of ambition, determined to be a good and honest official. But after being in it for a while, I realized that no official can be truly honest. When everyone around you is doing the same thing, if you stand out, you become an outcast, and people are very resistant to outcasts. This is especially true in officialdom. To be fair, I can't call myself an honest official, but when I was in office, I was wholeheartedly dedicated to doing practical things for the people, so that our government could become the leading engine of the national economy." "I consider myself to have made great contributions, but in officialdom, what matters most isn't political achievements; achievements are just a secondary factor. After so many years here, I'm actually quite tired. Retiring this time is alright, but at first I was unwilling because I'd done so much for others my whole life, and in the end, my own son didn't benefit from it at all. Now that I see you're back, I have no more wishes. Now I just want to go home, take walks with Mom every day, and hold my grandson, haha!" Zhang Minsheng suddenly laughed heartily, but Zhang Zilong knew that his father's heart wasn't necessarily as calm as it appeared.

"Wanqing, let's find a place to talk properly!" Qin Cai suddenly said to Lin Wanqing as they walked out of the hospital. Both of them were burdened with worries, and their expressions weren't very natural.

"Okay, let's go into this Western restaurant," Lin Wanqing said.

The two entered a Western restaurant by the roadside, each ordering a coffee. They sat facing each other, neither speaking, the atmosphere awkward. Former best friends, now so distant because of a man.

"Wanqing, I'm sorry," Qin Cai said to Lin Wanqing after a long pause.

"Cai'er, don't say that. Really, you haven't wronged me. There's no right or wrong in matters of the heart. Besides, I already said that Zilong and I have broken up," Lin Wanqing said, holding Qin Cai's hand. Although she felt a little resentment towards Qin Cai, she knew that this resentment was unfounded and that she and Qin Cai were originally very close.
