Professor Wen's words made Mr. Xiao fall into silence. He was not a fool and naturally understood the seriousness of this matter. It was just that he had fallen into a subjective emotion before.

In his opinion, although Qiao Muyue's ability cannot be said to be perfect, she is indeed unpredictable. Such a person is definitely qualified to be the wife of the next generation leader of the Xiao family, and he feels that

It's my grandson who has reached such a high level.

It's just his own subjective opinion. Those people don't know that Qiao Muyue has this ability, and judging from the behavior of Qiao Muyue and his bastard grandson, they don't want anyone to know that Qiao Muyue has this ability.

Then this matter will be troublesome.

But think about it, people now believe in science. Even if he told people that Qiao Muyue could summon thunder and lightning, no one would believe it. Of course, if it were to be made public, it would probably arouse a lot of people's covetousness. Think about it, they hide it.

That's right too.

It's just that if this happens, things between Qiao Muyue and her grandson will be in trouble, and even if he comes forward, it won't be easy.

Mr. Xiao took a deep breath and said: "Actually, I also know that this will be too hasty, but my body is getting worse day by day. I..."

After saying this, Mr. Xiao fell silent, and Xiao Chen, who was waiting on the side, quickly retreated. He knew that the leader wanted to talk to Professor Wen, an old friend, about what was on his mind, and it would not be appropriate for him to listen here.

Professor Wen sighed, looking at the gray hair of his old friend in front of him and the tiredness in the corners of his eyes. A thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly felt his heart sinking, and then asked: "Are you sick?"

Mr. Xiao nodded slightly when he heard this. He didn't intend to hide this old friend: "Esophageal cancer..."

Professor Wen's face changed drastically: "How could this happen? What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said that surgery can be followed by chemotherapy, and there is a 20% chance of cure, but I can't go for the treatment..."

Mr. Xiao said in a deep voice.

Professor Wen was about to persuade, but he stopped in an instant. The Wen family and the Xiao family were family friends. Of course he knew what his old friend was worried about. Now that the Xiao family still relied on him to control the situation, Ziwu could not take charge alone. If he fell,

The Xiao family was about to collapse. Although there was a certain chance of curing the disease, there was a greater chance of death, so he did not dare to move.

“If it’s not cured, how long can I survive?”

Professor Wen only felt that his throat was tight and his whole body was very uncomfortable.

Mr. Xiao smiled bitterly: "More than a year..."

Professor Wen now understood why Mr. Xiao was so anxious to see the Qiao family girl. He wanted to see Xiao Ziwu get married. This was his last wish.

Professor Wen fell silent. It was really a dilemma now. If treated, he might die on the operating table. If not treated, he could only live for more than a year.

When Mr. Xiao saw his old friend's silence, he laughed heartily: "Don't be downcast. I'm already old and have lived a long life. I can live for more than a year. This is already the best result!"

Professor Wen sighed: "Who else knows about this?"

"It's just you and Xiao Chen. The hospital won't tell anyone. My condition is top secret and no one will tell."

Mr. Xiao said in a deep voice.

"Now I just hope that Ziwu can work harder this year and take over the Xiao family earlier..."

Professor Wen could only sigh, because he had no choice. After a while, he asked: "What did Mr. Su say?"

Mr. Su has a good relationship with the Xiao family. When Xiao Ziwu injured his wrist in Yunwu City and was almost disabled, Mr. Su dared to go to Yunwu City overnight to treat Xiao Ziwu.

However, Mr. Su is an orthopedic expert, and there is probably nothing he can do about esophageal cancer. Professor Wen was also in a hurry and sought medical treatment.

Mr. Xiao didn't care. He smiled and said: "Let's leave it like this. The experts can't do anything about it. I'm fine now, but it takes a little more effort to eat..."

Although Professor Wen didn't know much about esophageal cancer, he had heard of it. Eating would cause vomiting or choking. It was not a matter of exerting effort. Eating was equivalent to suffering.

Professor Wen was speechless for a moment, and Mr. Xiao also fell silent. The two sat opposite each other. After an unknown period of time, there was a knock on the door. The two came to their senses, and Xiao Chen walked in.

"Dinner is ready!"

Mr. Xiao nodded when he heard this, laughed again, and looked at Professor Wen: "Let's go, I didn't eat anything at noon, and I'm hungry now."

Professor Wen didn't say anything. He stood up silently and followed Mr. Xiao towards the dining room.

The two sat down opposite each other. There were four dishes and one soup on the table in front of them. The dishes were all relatively light. The soup was tofu and green vegetable soup. The pile of fried vegetables was the one Professor Wen brought. One steamed egg and one fried chicken nugget.

There is also an assorted salad.

Xiao Chen said: "Today the chef said that the green vegetables brought by Professor Wen were very good, so he made green vegetable and tofu soup. Mr. Xiao, please try it..."

Mr. Xiao nodded. He was not very interested in eating, even if he was very hungry, because it was very difficult to eat every time and he would vomit after eating. He would basically eat a small amount of liquid food. Eating now was almost like torture for him.

However, since his old friend was here today, he couldn't help but say, "Then I'll try this green vegetable and tofu soup and this fried green vegetable today."

Xiao Chen served a bowl of soup to Mr. Xiao and Professor Wen each, and then withdrew.

Professor Wen had no appetite at all and only felt his throat was tight.

In order to reassure his old friend, Mr. Xiao directly picked up the tofu and vegetable soup and took a sip.

He had already prepared to suppress the feeling of vomiting, but unexpectedly when he entered the mouth of the tofu and vegetable soup, he felt the warm current flowing down his throat and into his stomach, and his whole body instantly became more energetic.

His eyes brightened slightly and he took another sip. This time he could feel that the tofu soup was extremely sweet and tasted better than any soup he had tasted before.

The suppressed appetite suddenly exploded. He quickly finished the bowl of soup in three mouthfuls, and then filled up another bowl of soup.

Professor Wen's heart twitched as he watched his old friend drink bowl after bowl of soup in order to reassure himself.

Seeing his old friend serve another bowl of soup, Professor Wen's sorrowful mood immediately broke out. He stood up and grabbed the bowl from Mr. Xiao's hand.

"That's enough, don't torture yourself!"

Mr. Xiao was dumbfounded for a moment. He rarely had an appetite. Why is this old friend so crazy?

"If you can't eat, don't eat. Don't force yourself to eat just to reassure me!"

Professor Wen put down the bowl and spoke in a very serious tone.

Mr. Xiao smiled bitterly. This old friend had misunderstood. He quickly said: "I am not forcing myself to eat, but this tofu soup is really delicious. I really have an appetite."

Professor Wen had a look of disbelief: "Don't think I don't know anything. There is no one like you with esophageal cancer. You eat like a starving ghost reincarnated. You show off three bowls of soup in the blink of an eye. Don't say you have esophageal cancer, even if you don't have the disease."

, you can't eat like this even at your age, you are just lying to me, what's the use of lying to me, what you do is not good for your condition, why do you bother to torture yourself."
