Chapter 226: Zhou Yue develops a strong sense of crisis!

~7 min read 1,394 words

While Lin Dazhi was in his luxury mansion at Tomson Riviera, fully enjoying the devoted service of two women who were trying to please him in every way, Zhou Yue, who hadn't rested all night, was listlessly scrolling through her phone inside an infectious disease ward at the Jiangzhou City People's Hospital.

The treatment costs at the Imperial Union Hospital were too high, and the attending physician had also spoken with her family, mainly conveying two points: first, that the Imperial Union Hospital was currently short on beds, and second, that Zhou Xiaojun's current condition was just a matter of medication maintenance and conservative treatment, with no better options available, so it would be the same anywhere.

Since the doctor had said as much, and the money was indeed nearly spent, dragging things out at the Imperial Union Hospital was no solution, so last night, they had transferred Zhou Xiaojun back to their hometown hospital for treatment.

Having tossed and turned for most of the night without sleep, Zhou Yue was exhausted, yet she couldn't fall asleep. Looking at her somewhat withered and sallow skin on the phone screen, Zhou Yue felt a bit frantic.

She hadn't been to work for over a week, and the human resources department had called her to fulfill the formal leave procedures, but she really didn't want to go back and face Bai Weiwei. She had originally wanted to call Lin Dazhi and have him help her transfer out of the Shangcheng Branch, but she really didn't have the face to make that call.

After thinking it over, she still swallowed her pride and called Bai Weiwei.

In front of Bai Weiwei, Zhou Yue always felt a natural sense of moral superiority. Because she always felt that it was Bai Weiwei who had snatched her man, even if this man was one she didn't want and had already divorced, he was still someone she had once possessed. And Bai Weiwei was now just picking up her leftovers.

But Lin Dazhi currently doted on this little slut, so even though she hated Bai Weiwei to death, she couldn't do anything about her for the time being.

However, if she brought it up directly that she didn't want to be in the same unit as her, presumably she would be willing.

Sure enough, Bai Weiwei readily agreed on the other end of the line, telling her to stay home for a few days and that she would notify her once a placement was arranged.

Bai Weiwei agreeing to help her solve the job transfer issue seemed like a big favor, but Zhou Yue didn't feel grateful to her at all. In Zhou Yue's view, Bai Weiwei owed her this; it was only right. Besides, she was now the branch manager of the Shangcheng Branch! For a big manager to arrange her own work, wasn't that just a small matter?

Thinking of Bai Weiwei as a manager, Zhou Yue's teeth itched with anger! Because this manager position had been arranged by that slut Meng Ruolan!

Who was Meng Ruolan? She used to be a powerful businesswoman in Nan Province, the granddaughter of the old master in the provincial capital, and part of the high-and-mighty upper class.

But now, she was nothing more than a dog raised by Lin Dazhi!

Whatever Lin Dazhi told her to do, she did!

Therefore, in a sense, Bai Weiwei being a manager was actually because Lin Dazhi had let her be one!

This was exactly what made Zhou Yue angry!

It would have been fine not to let her be this manager, but why let Bai Weiwei be it? Why let this slut hold a position over her?

Lin Dazhi, you want to disgust me, but I won't let you have your way! You want to let this little slut Bai Weiwei show off in front of me? Let me tell you, I don't even care to look at her! No matter how high an official she becomes, I won't envy her! I, Zhou Yue, am independent and strong, and I will live my own life! This is the last time; if I ever look for you two again, I'm a dog!

Zhou Yue gritted her teeth, swearing viciously in her heart.

The television in the ward was playing an entertainment program, and Zhou Yue, feeling agitated, wanted to pick up her phone to turn the TV off.

Just at this moment, a weak voice came from the hospital bed from Zhou Xiaojun.

"Sister, turn the TV volume up a bit, I love watching this show," Zhou Xiaojun said.

"Oh, I got it."

Zhou Yue picked up the remote and turned the TV volume up a little.

Since her eyes were hurting from looking at her phone anyway, she simply tossed the phone aside and accompanied her younger brother Zhou Xiaojun to watch TV.

"Singer," Season 7.

Zhou Yue glanced at the program name in the bottom right corner and felt like she had some impression of it.

This was a quite popular variety show, and she used to love watching it too.

At this moment, on the TV screen, Tan Jing was singing a grand, folk-style song. Zhou Yue glanced at Tan Jing on the TV; that exquisite makeup, the face full of intellect and artistic flair, and the slender figure made her look like an eternally youthful music goddess, full of charming temperament.

Zhou Yue knew that Tan Jing was already over forty years old this year, yet Tan Jing on stage looked even younger and prettier than herself!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh again. She glanced at the makeup bag thrown on the hospital nightstand, which contained a set of La Mer worth over 9,000 yuan. It was just about to run out, though.

Thinking of the only 10,000-plus yuan left in her pocket, Zhou Yue felt a strong sense of crisis!

She now realized that her parents would just make her take money to pay for her brother Zhou Xiaojun's medical treatment, without considering her life or death at all. In the past, when Lin Dazhi was earning money, she didn't feel anything when spending; it wasn't her own money, so it didn't hurt to spend it. But now, she only had this little bit of money left in her hands; what would she do if it ran out?

The half-apartment she had received from Zhou Haibo hadn't been sold yet. It was an old apartment, worth at most 700,000 or 800,000 yuan now, and no one was buying. Zhou Yue had originally hoped it would sell quickly, but now she didn't hope for it to sell anymore.

Given the current situation, even if the apartment were sold, it would likely be targeted by her parents, who would make her take the money to pay for her brother Zhou Xiaojun's treatment!

Glancing at Zhou Xiaojun, who was focused on watching the program on the hospital bed, Zhou Yue sighed, thinking to herself that this was a bottomless pit!

On the TV show, Tan Jing had already finished singing and had received a good score.

But she was in no mood to watch any of this right now; her mind was full of money, money, money!

"Next, let us welcome our next Singer, who is also the only amateur singer in our entire lineup. He will bring us a brand-new original work! Please welcome the Singer, Lin~~~Da~~~zhi!"

Lin Dazhi?

How could it be him?

How could he be on TV?

He could sing too? With his limited skills?

Looking at the charismatic Lin Dazhi standing in the center of the stage on the TV screen, Zhou Yue's eyes widened instantly!

Zhou Xiaojun, off to the side, was also stunned; he never expected that his former brother-in-law would actually appear on such a hit TV show!

Nothing can stop,

Your yearning for freedom!

A life of unconstrained imagination,

Your heart is free of worries!

This song was unexpectedly good!

But the better the song was, the more it felt like a great irony to Zhou Yue!

Previously, this man had become successful after divorcing her, and that wasn't all; he had also been surrounded by women, having slept with her best friend and her own sister-in-law!

And now, this man had actually started appearing on TV and becoming a singing star?
