Rather, Qiao Nan's question was more of whether Chief Zhu was still 'around'.
The last time she had visited Zhu Chengqi, she had heard his doctor say that he wouldn't last for many more days. But her stomach had grown from being inconspicuous to protruding. She was about to give birth, but she had not yet heard any bad news about Zhu Chengqi. Qiao Nan wondered whether Zhu Chengqi was holding on for some reason.
"He's alright." At least, Chief Zhu's illness was under control and there were no major problems for the time being. "I guess someone must be in a panic now that Chief Zhu's in such a condition."
Wang Yang dared not take a step away from Zhu Chengqi and people who did not understand the situation would inevitably praise Wang Yang for being filial and treating Zhu Chengqi like his biological father. Wang Yang's parents were still well and alive, and as they got older, their bodies were like machines that needed 'maintenance' once in a while.
