Lu Qimu's villa was too far away from the city center, so he couldn't get a taxi. Li Yang had no choice but to take out his phone, order some extra money, and call a taxi.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the car finally arrived. She got on the car and went to the hospital where her mother was.

Gyvern Hospital.

Li Yang walked to his mother's sterile room. Through the cold glass window, she could clearly see her mother lying in bed.

Her face was pale and she wore an oxygen mask. Her former grace had long since disappeared. All that was left was a thin and frail body that was peacefully sleeping. There were also all kinds of medical equipment on her body.

"Mom .." Li Yang pressed his face against the window, finally showing a hint of weakness. "Mom .." Wake up... "Pang'er agrees. As long as you wake up, Pang'er will never cause trouble again .."

The person on the bed didn't have the slightest reaction. The only response she got was the cold, mechanical voice of the medical equipment. Warm tears constantly flowed down her white and clean cheeks, "Mom, I definitely won't let anything happen to you .." Believe me... "I can definitely raise the money to save you .."

"Eldest Miss, don't be sad. Madam will definitely wake up." Uncle Ji sighed and comforted Li Yang.

There was a problem with the Li family's business. Chairman Li Changming saw that the situation was bad and actually abandoned his wife and daughter's money and fled abroad. The Li group declared bankruptcy and owed them a billion yuan.

The madame was so angry that her heart attack returned. She lay unconscious in the hospital. The burden of the Li family fell on the former daughter, Li Yang.

Uncle Ji really pitied her, so even if all the servants in the house had left, he still wouldn't be willing to leave. Furthermore, during his most difficult times, it was the Madam who took him in as a housekeeper in the Li family.

"Uncle Ji .." Seeing his mother's pale face, Li Yang could no longer suppress the pain in his heart and hugged Uncle Li, crying bitterly.

Uncle Ji's eyes turned red as he continuously patted her back to comfort her.

Li Yang didn't know how long he cried until his tears stopped flowing. He let go of Uncle Ji and asked in a hoarse voice, "Uncle Ji, what did the hospital say?"

"Miss, the doctor recommends that we start the operation immediately. Otherwise, the success rate of the operation will be very low." Uncle Ji wiped away his tears as he choked with sobs, "I've paid up one hundred thousand yuan in hospital fees, but I'm already in arrears today. After all, the hospital just agreed to grant us two days. Eldest Miss, what should we do about the operation? I really don't have any money left .."

"Uncle Ji, thank you. I'll think of a way to pay for the operation. You'll have to take care of my mother for the next two days .." Li Yang bowed deeply to Uncle Ji. She would remember his great kindness for the rest of her life.

Li Yang didn't know how she got out of the hospital. She looked through her mobile phone directory and called her number one by one, but no one was willing to help her.

She knew that it shouldn't be difficult for her to borrow 300,000 yuan, but because of Gu Yubai, no one dared to lend it to her.

Finally, she dialed the number, but no one answered.

It had been five years. Although she hated this engagement at the beginning and even made things difficult for him, his good temper had still moved her.

After five years, she had finally decided to throw away her mask. When she put down her guard and entered the marriage hall with him, something had happened to the Li family. He had unhesitatingly proposed to break up with her and quickly walked together with other women.

It wasn't the first time she'd had such a bad eye for a man, he thought.

She opened the SMS interface and typed a line of words into a familiar number...

Faith High Quality Western Restaurant.

Located on the top floor of a certain building, the dining room was decorated in a very elegant and stylish manner.

On the outdoor seats, the atmosphere was quiet and elegant.

Under the dim orange light, Gu Yubai leaned back against the sofa, his tone extremely lazy. "I've done such a big thing for you, yet you're treating me to western cuisine?"

Lu Qimu swirled the red wine glass in his hand, took a sip, and said coldly, "The piece of land in the Southern Development Area is yours."

"Oh, so generous." Gu Yubai curled his lips and laughed softly, "But why go around in such a big circle? "How tired .."

Lu Qimu's gaze was clear and cold as he said, "This has nothing to do with you."

The smile on Gu Ye's white lips became even lazier. "This is good, she's going to have nowhere else to go .."

Inadvertently raising his eyes, a white figure entered his line of sight, "Hey, speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there soon."

Lu Qimu watched as that beautiful figure walked towards another man. His thin lips were pursed, and his eyes were as if they had been frozen.

A hint of playfulness flashed through Gu Yubai's eyes. What a good show.

Li Yang gracefully appeared in front of Cheng Xu, wearing a light blue, shoulder-revealing chiffon dress.

He frowned in disgust. "What are you doing here?"

There was no trace of anger on Li Yang's pretty face.

She put down her bag and sat on the European sofa opposite Cheng Xu. She picked up her knife and fork and leisurely cut up the steak in front of her, "I'm calling you. You're not answering my call, texting or replying. There's no helping it, I can only come here to stop you."

She was so persistent that Cheng Xu didn't even try to conceal his disgust. With eyes full of impatience, he said, "Li Yang, you're making me feel more and more disgusted by pestering me like this."

Although she had already prepared herself to bear the pain of his words, she still felt a bit sad when she heard them.

In just a split-second, she managed to shake off these unnecessary emotions. For the sake of her mother's surgery fees, she even abandoned her self-esteem and threw her knees in front of him. What was a little sadness to her?

A small slice of steak cut on a fork and placed in his mouth.

He took a few bites and seemed to be unsatisfied. He frowned and said with disdain, "I'm too old to bite."

Cheng Xu said angrily, "Isn't that for you to order?"

Li Yang acted as if he hadn't heard Cheng Xu's words. He put down his knife and fork, and casually said, "Where's Mu Xiaoyan? She went to the bathroom to fix her makeup?"

How did Li Yang know his girlfriend's name? Cheng Xu suddenly reacted and shouted angrily at her, "Investigate her!"

Not a question, but an affirmation.

His voice was very high, and the people around him could not help but look at them, pointing and whispering.

"Shh —" She put her white and slender index finger to her lips, not looking the least bit embarrassed. "Lower your voice, Mr. Cheng. You won't be the one to embarrass yourself like this."

He took a deep breath, then slightly calmed himself down. "Li Yang, what are you trying to do? We've already broken up. Is it interesting for you to do this?"

"Of course it's interesting. Who told you to be so stingy, not willing to lend me three hundred thousand." She pouted coquettishly, as if she was interacting with a lover. "I had no choice but to start off with that obedient girlfriend of yours. You really put in a lot of effort for me."

Since begging him was useless, she had no choice but to use force. Besides, she already knew that he had let her down first. It was when he was with her that there was another woman.

The corner of Li Yang's lips curled up into a faint smile. "But luckily, my effort wasn't in vain. I didn't expect that Second Young Master Cheng's girlfriend would be a wine hostess. She's usually dressed so cleanly and obediently, I really can't tell."

Cheng Xu looked at the woman before him. She was so familiar yet also so unfamiliar. She had changed, no longer as haughty and willful as she used to be.

He could not help but sigh, "Li Yang, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you also know the Gu family's power in B City. If I help you, if he angers the Cheng family, the consequences will not be something I can bear. Last night, I was just talking angrily, and Little Yan is not that kind of woman.

She thought that perhaps, Cheng Xu truly loved Mu Xiaoyan. After all, with Xiao Yan's identity, not only would his future be ruined by his being with her, he would even become the scapegoat for his future.

It was a pity that the current her could not take care of herself. What did other people's sincerity have to do with her?

"Cheng Xu, I don't know if Mu Xiaoyan has any difficulties." The curve of her lips deepened as she heard her own cold voice, "I just want to ask you, is Uncle Cheng going to let someone like Mu Xiaoyan in?"

Cheng Xu finally realized that he was in danger and reflexively asked, "What are you trying to do?"

"I just wanted to give Uncle Cheng a call, that's all. I think Uncle Cheng has countless ways to make your little girlfriend disappear forever in B City."

Her words bored Cheng Xu so much that he almost wanted to splash the wine on her face.

So what she felt just now wasn't an illusion. She really wasn't the same as before. Could it be that all her unruly and unruly actions were just an act? Was this Li Yang before her the real her?

If she really called her father, then he and Mu Xiaoyan would be finished.

From the corner of his eyes, he inadvertently caught sight of Mu Xiaoyan, who had just returned from the washroom.

His hands froze.

Li Yang followed Cheng Xu's gaze and looked over.

On Mu Xiaoyan's delicate and pretty face, there was sadness and sadness. Her eyes were red and her teeth were tightly biting her lips. She looked as though she had suffered a huge grievance, but was still going to endure it.

It gave birth to an inexplicable desire to protect.

Cheng Xu immediately stood up, itching to rush to her side.

Noticing Cheng Xu's actions, Li Yang fiddled with the knife and fork on the edge of his plate, purposely making some noise, "Second Master Cheng, are you more willing to lose her forever than just a misunderstanding?"

Cheng Xu halted his steps and regained his senses.

A misunderstanding would be better than losing her forever. He heard his own voice calming down with great difficulty, "Three hundred thousand, I can lend it to you, but I have a condition, please never appear in front of me and Little Yan again."

Just like five years ago, Lu Qimu had grabbed her by the neck and told her never to appear in front of his eyes again.

Li Yang, Li Yang, you are really annoying.

The more sad he felt, the more Li Yang smiled brilliantly. "Deal."

On the other side, Mu Xiaoyan finally could not hold it in and tears fell from her eyes.

She bit her pale lip and turned to leave.

Her crystal shoes, which were 10 centimeters tall, accidentally stepped on a bit of butter that fell to the ground. Her body instantly slipped and she lost gravity as she fell down.

The wine cups, cakes, and plates on the table fell one after another, emitting a sharp sound. Her white dress was dyed in all kinds of colors ..

Upon hearing the commotion, the surrounding people looked over.

The couple who were having a hearty meal exclaimed in shock when they saw such a terrible situation, "Oh my god, what's going on with you!"

"Sorry, sorry .."

Mu Xiaoyan's white and tender arm was wounded by the glass shards, causing bright red blood to continuously flow out. However, she didn't care about all this, and only apologized in panic and sadness.

He struggled to get up from the ground and half-squatted in front of the couple, wiping away the stains on their feet.

He was in a sorry state!

"Li Yang, are you satisfied now?"

The cold voice was mixed with anger. It pierced Li Yang's eardrums, piercing into his heart.

Then, she watched helplessly as the man who was her fiancé a few days ago hurriedly walked over to another woman.

He took off his black suit and quickly covered the woman's body.

The woman turned around, tears streaming down her face.

Without saying a word, Cheng Xu tyrannically carried her petite body.

The woman shivered in Cheng Xu's arms.

Then, she slowly raised her head from his shoulder. Her tearful eyes slightly bent, as if she was saying, "You've lost. Completely lost."

That's right, she lost. She lost to a Miss Night Wine Master.

It could be considered to be true, it was an extraordinary shame and humiliation.

Fortunately, the matter was settled.

Li Lang laughed self-deprecatingly. He lowered his eyes, grabbed his knife and fork, and stuffed the cold steaks into his mouth one by one.

The fishy taste seeped into his mouth, bringing with it a nauseating taste.

Li Yang covered his mouth with cold steak and chewed on it vigorously.

He forcefully swallowed it down.

Li Yang, it's no big deal. Everything bad will be the past.

He placed the glass of wine on the table and looked through the French window at the painful expression on the woman's face as she forcefully swallowed her food.

His eyes were as deep as ink.

She took out her cell phone and pressed the answer button with her slender finger. Before she could open her mouth, Uncle Ji's anxious voice came from the receiver, "Eldest Miss, it's bad. The hospital just informed us that if we don't get the money by tomorrow morning, they'll have to stop Madam's breathing."

"What?" Her elegant eyebrows scrunched together, "Didn't we agree on a two day time limit?"

"The hospital said that someone up there called out to them, and they had no other choice. It seems like, I heard them call out 'CEO Lu ..'"

"I got it!" Uncle Ji, I'll immediately think of a way to hand over the money. "

After hanging up, Li Yang quickly found Cheng Xu's number from his contact list and dialed it.

He dialed a few times, but no one answered.

While she was standing by the roadside, she was patiently dialing a number.

After a long while, a taxi finally stopped in front of her. Li Lang got into the taxi, and as he closed the door, a black Rolls-Royce drove past her, and she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar figure ..

"The hospital said that someone up there called out to them, and they had no other choice. It seems like, I heard them call out 'CEO Lu ..'"

In a split-second, Li Yang exclaimed, "Master, keep up with that car in front!"
