Chapter 147: Simply Shameless

Liu Xiaolin was focused on her phone conversation, but Shen Ci couldn't help but hear her calculation regarding Li Dao in her words.

No wonder.

No wonder she didn't show the slightest urgency when Li Dao had his attack and fainted. It turns out there were traces to follow all along. Now that she knows Li Dao has a rare disease, she is even more unscrupulous in plotting for the property and the custody of their daughter.

There is still a living person lying on that hospital bed; Li Dao isn't dead yet!

Although she was indignant in her heart, Shen Ci's reason remained. She knew that no matter what, it wasn't her place to intervene at this time. Perhaps Li Dao had known for a long time.

Without knowing Li Dao's own thoughts, Shen Ci understood that as a student, as an outsider, she had no room to comment on this matter.

Without pushing open the door to the emergency exit, Shen Ci turned and left the place silently.

Just as she returned to the inpatient department, she ran into Pili, who was coming out from inside.

"Eh? Why didn't you reply when I sent you a message?" Pili asked with a look of surprise upon meeting: "I even circled around the inpatient department and didn't see you."

Shen Ci took out her phone belatedly. Indeed, there were messages from Pili she hadn't noticed, so she said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't notice."

Pili naturally didn't mean to blame her, but seeing that she seemed absent-minded at this moment, she tentatively asked: "What's wrong with you? Is your counselor's condition not optimistic?"

Shen Ci sighed. To say it wasn't optimistic, there was no immediate threat to his life at the moment. To say it was optimistic, there was really nothing to be optimistic about.

"It's much more serious than expected," Shen Ci could only say this.

It was clear that Shen Ci was in a bad mood and didn't want to say more. Pili just patted her shoulder gently and said: "Then I'll go up with you."

"Have you been to see your master's wife?"

Pili nodded: "Yes, she is lying in the intensive care unit. I can't get in either, so I can only look from the outside."

Shen Ci curled her lip with a bitter smile: "Don't comfort me either. I should be the one comforting you."

Pili's master's wife's condition was clearly worse than Li Dao's.

But Pili shook her head indifferently: "It's okay, I accepted it long ago. Since I can't escape, I can only face it."

Shen Ci agreed with this statement. Escaping is useless, because what should come will always come.

When they returned to the ward, Li Jianguo had already finished the breakfast Shen Ci brought, and his appetite didn't seem affected.

"Did you see the doctor? What did the doctor say?"

Seeing Shen Ci return, Li Mu stood up and asked quickly.

Li Jianguo also looked at Shen Ci, waiting for her to speak.

Shen Ci tried her best to appear calm, not letting her emotions show any flaws, and looked at Li Dao: "The doctor said it is a relatively rare disease, and it may need to be controlled with medication later."

She tried to explain the condition simply, fearing she would scare the old lady.

The old lady didn't react for a moment and just subconsciously asked: "Then is it serious or not?"

Before Shen Ci could speak, Li Jianguo interjected: "That means it's nothing, nothing serious. Mom, don't worry."

When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Shen Ci.

Shen Ci also understood Li Dao's meaning and nodded in agreement: "It's nothing, Grandma."

Not long after, Li Jianguo made an excuse to send the old lady out of the ward before asking Shen Ci seriously: "Tell the teacher the truth, what is going on?"

This matter couldn't be hidden at all. The doctor would explain the condition to Li Dao later anyway, so Shen Ci told him everything. She naturally couldn't explain the professional terms and only picked the key points.

She thought Li Dao would be very heavy-hearted after hearing about his condition, but she didn't expect him to just nod with a relaxed smile after hearing it: "Oh, I thought I was dying. Isn't this nothing serious?"

Shen Ci couldn't tell for a moment if he was truly relaxed or just pretending to be strong, and looked at him hesitantly: "Li Dao, this is a rare disease."

"I know. Isn't it that I won't die for a while?" Li Jianguo said with a smile.

This wasn't wrong, so Shen Ci nodded: "The doctor said foreign targeted drugs have very good effects and can control the condition well."

After a while, Liu Xiaolin finally appeared in the ward late.

Upon entering the door and finding that Shen Ci was also there, she couldn't help but look at Shen Ci twice more subconsciously. This time, Shen Ci didn't call out to her and just nodded gently to acknowledge her.

"Where is Mom?" Liu Xiaolin turned to look at Li Jianguo and asked.

"I asked her to go back and get me some daily necessities," Li Jianguo said, then looked at Liu Xiaolin and asked: "Did you take Yuanyuan to school this morning?"

Liu Xiaolin nodded, then sat down on the chair by the hospital bed and said bluntly to Li Jianguo: "I applied to the court this morning to withdraw the divorce agreement we previously agreed upon."

She said this in public, which made Li Jianguo freeze.

Subconsciously glancing at Shen Ci and Pili beside her, Li Jianguo frowned and said: "Do you have to say this at this time?"

"It's not like it's something shameful, what are you afraid of?" Liu Xiaolin said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci stood up: "Li Dao, shall we avoid the room?"

Li Jianguo sighed with a complex expression, and finally shook his head indifferently: "Sit down, there is nothing to avoid."

After finishing, he looked at Liu Xiaolin and asked with a cold face: "What do you mean by withdrawing the agreement? You don't intend to divorce?"

"Divorce is definitely going to happen, but I am not satisfied with the previous agreement and need to renegotiate one with you."

Upon hearing this, Li Jianguo's face tightened, and he questioned in confusion: "Not satisfied? What are you not satisfied with?"

"I am not satisfied with anything." Liu Xiaolin raised her voice and said to Li Jianguo: "You have this disease now, and I have a great advantage in fighting for Yuanyuan's custody. If the child is awarded to me, my economic pressure will be very high, so the child belongs to me, the house must also belong to me, and the savings will be split 30/70, you get 30, I get 70!"

"You are dreaming!"

Facing Liu Xiaolin's unreasonable demands, Li Jianguo, who had always been good-tempered, immediately shouted angrily: "Don't even think about it, Yuanyuan's custody must belong to me!"

"Li Jianguo, get this straight, okay? If you have an attack of this disease one day and there is no one around, you will die. How can Yuanyuan follow you?" Liu Xiaolin said relentlessly: "Do you want to die in front of Yuanyuan?"

One cold word "die" after another showed that Li Jianguo's life and death were insignificant in her eyes; she didn't care at all.

She even used his condition to hold hostage the daughter he cared about most. This woman is simply shameless!

Even Pili, who was on the side, was shocked. Is this something a human can say? ===== CHAPTER 148 =====
