Don't worry, everything will be fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yan’s lips moved, and she could only whisper, \"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry about Orange either.\" Tang Song’s gaze shifted to Zhang Yan, his tone becoming softer. \"The hospital here has the most professional special care staff, working in 24-hour shifts, so they can take very good care of your mother. You don't need to stay here every single moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing \"Orange,\" Zhang Yan’s body, which had been tense the whole time, finally relaxed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her head, her clear, timid eyes flickering, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she just squeezed out an \"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hui, sitting to the side, gathered the courage to look at Tang Song. In the other party's eyes, there wasn't a hint of condescending scrutiny; instead, there was a deep sense of reassurance, sincere and warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made her instantly heave a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the powerful and wealthy people she had seen, Tang Song could be said to be very easy to get along with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the car arrived smoothly at the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost at the same time they got out of the car, the taxi carrying Chen Yao and the others arrived right behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shuangshuang, carrying her schoolbag, ran straight over, then held Zhou Hui’s other arm, whispering, \"Mom, sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tears had completely stopped, and she stole glances at Tang Song from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hui felt a wave of relief seeing her younger daughter, who had always been resistant to Zhang Yan, become so well-behaved and harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, take it slow, watch the steps.\" Chen Yao stepped forward quickly, her face wearing a look of concern mixed with awkwardness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hui frowned and ignored her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll make a call.\" Tang Song said, dialing another number, simply saying: \"Hello, we have arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are right at the entrance of the outpatient building.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people walked out quickly from inside the hospital entrance, wearing white coats and carrying hospital ID badges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Tang Song, the group quickly stepped forward to welcome him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading them was a middle-aged woman in her forties with a capable temperament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a warm smile on her face, walked straight up to Tang Song, and took the initiative to extend her hand: \"Hello, Mr. Tang, I am Lin Wan, the Director of the Hospital Office at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her self-introduction, Zhou Hui, Chen Yao, and the others were all startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called \"Hospital Office\" was actually the \"President's Office,\" the core administrative and comprehensive department of the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could never have imagined that the person coming to receive them would be such a leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Director Lin, thank you for your hard work.\" Tang Song shook hands with her politely and turned slightly, saying: \"This is the patient,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hui.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hui looked at the other party, her palms sweating from nervousness, and could only nod subconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's our duty.\" Director Lin’s gaze swept over Zhou Hui gently, then turned to Tang Song: \"All the medical records from the First Affiliated Hospital of the Pharmaceutical University have been synchronized and transferred. The expert team is holding an internal preparatory meeting to conduct a preliminary study. We can go over now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of six followed the hospital team, passed through an internal administrative corridor with relatively few people, and took the elevator directly to the Special Medical Center of the inpatient department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The environment here was completely different from the noisy general ward downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The floor was covered with thick carpets, carefully pruned green plants were placed at the corners, and there wasn't a trace of the smell of disinfectant in the air; instead, it was filled with a faint scent of aromatherapy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Lin led them into a spacious and bright independent lounge and said softly: \"You all can rest here for a while and drink some water.\" Zhou Hui and the others sat awkwardly on the sofa, not knowing where to put their hands and feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of \"privileged\" treatment, which they had only seen in TV dramas, was something they had never imagined in their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yan secretly looked at Tang Song beside her, feeling both settled and flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door to the lounge was pushed open again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of 7 people walked in, all doctors wearing white coats with extraordinary temperaments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small consultation room suddenly seemed a bit crowded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Lin introduced them softly from the side: \"Mr. Tang, this is Vice President Zhang, who is in charge of medical operations; this is Director He, the academic leader of the Hematology and Oncology Department; this is Professor Wang of Hematopathology; this is Director Ma of our CAR-T Treatment Center...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the experts one by one and hearing the resounding titles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jinlong and Chen Yao were already shocked to the point of numbness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the nervous and uneasy gazes of Zhang Yan and Zhou Hui, Tang Song took the initiative to step forward and exchange a few pleasantries with the experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he introduced: \"This is Auntie Zhou Hui, the patient herself. This is her daughter, Zhang Yan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yan hurriedly bowed deeply to the experts, \"I'm sorry to trouble you, thank you, thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Lin spoke at the right time: \"The space in the consultation room is limited. To ensure the efficiency of the experts' discussion, the other family members can rest here for a while. We will come to communicate with you as soon as there is a conclusion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jinlong and Chen Yao nodded immediately, \"Okay, okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, accompanied by Tang Song, Zhang Yan supported her mother, Zhou Hui, and followed the expert team to the adjacent independent consultation room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emergency expert consultation officially began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the lounge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shuangshuang slumped on the sofa, the nerve that had been stretched to the point of breaking finally relaxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes welled up with the joy of surviving a disaster and an indescribable shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, calling Zhang Yan, this \"sister,\" was just holding onto the last glimmer of hope, like a drowning person grabbing at a piece of driftwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she never expected that behind this piece of driftwood was an indestructible giant ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jinlong, sitting nearby, hung his head, his face a mix of relief and deep shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a long, heavy breath, as if he had unloaded a thousand-pound burden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Chen Yao’s eyes flickered, and she bit her lower lip hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked down at her phone, where the screen showed the message she had sent to her brother, Chen Bingwen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This reversal came too fast and too violently, completely exceeding the script she and her brother had rehearsed in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't know how to deal with what would happen next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time was infinitely stretched in the agonizing wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding-a-ling—\" The phone rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yao hurriedly stood up, answering the phone while walking outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man of twenty-eight or twenty-nine walked in hurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was wearing an ordinary suit, his hair combed meticulously with hair gel, and his face was filled with anxiety and focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yaoyao!\" Chen Bingwen came to Chen Yao and asked urgently: \"What the hell is going on?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know the specifics either. Who could have thought that Zhang Yan would know such a friend...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yao whispered everything that happened after Tang Song appeared, her face full of annoyance and regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't regret for her previous coldness and indifference, but regret for missing the opportunity to turn things around through Tang Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, when one person attains the Dao, their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this hadn't happened, given the personalities of Zhang Yan and Zhou Hui, they could definitely have been manipulated, and who knows how many benefits they could have reaped in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, it had turned into this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, what should we do now?\" Chen Yao looked at her brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yao was, after all, a college student who had just graduated; facing such a big event, it was difficult for her to clear her head quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason she reacted so quickly was entirely because he was guiding her from behind, and all the ideas were his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't gone to college; he had started struggling in society right after graduating from high school, working in sales for nearly ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was extremely slick and worldly. Some things were hard for their father to say, and inconvenient for him to say, so it was most appropriate for his younger sister, who had just graduated and was \"ignorant,\" to say them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he was also afraid that if things really escalated with Zhou Hui, she would file for divorce and want to split the property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't shown his face all along, also to keep a backup plan, so he could come out to soothe things over later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it seemed, that was the right move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Chen Bingwen’s expression changed, and he lowered his voice, speaking rapidly at a volume only the two of them could hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yao’s eyes flickered, and she nodded repeatedly, a look of surprise appearing on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the two finished their exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bingwen took a deep breath, instantly replaced his expression with one of grief and filial piety, and walked into the lounge with long strides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad! Shuangshuang! How is Mom? What did the doctor say?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his son arrive, Chen Jinlong quickly stood up, \"Bingwen, you're here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of disgust flashed in Chen Shuangshuang’s eyes, and she looked away, refusing to look at this brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another half hour passed, and the door to the consultation room finally opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost the moment Zhang Yan and Zhou Hui walked out, Chen Bingwen was the first to \"rush\" up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed Zhou Hui’s arm, his voice filled with suppressed sobbing: \"Mom! How are you? I just heard from Yaoyao about your condition,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and only then did I realize it was so serious! Why didn't you and Dad tell me?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he turned around, facing Tang Song and Zhang Yan, his face full of gratitude and guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This must be Mr. Tang, right? Thank you so much, thank you so much! I am Yaoyao and Shuangshuang’s brother, Chen Bingwen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello.\" Tang Song nodded, his shirt hem suddenly being tugged gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head, he saw Zhang Yan shaking her head at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From her eyes, Tang Song immediately sensed something unusual and withdrew his pleasantries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bingwen thanked him a few more times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he suddenly turned his head and shouted sternly at his sister, Chen Yao: \"You too! Mom is so sick, how could you think about saving money and not treating her? And you deliberately hid it from me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, you—you were about to get married, I was afraid sister-in-law—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up! In your eyes, am I the kind of person who would ignore a relative's life just to get married?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was loud and full of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yao’s eyes turned red, and she lowered her head, walking up to Zhang Yan and Zhou Hui, her voice filled with tears: \"Mom, Zhang Yan, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I was too ignorant, it was my fault...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhou Hui just looked at them quietly, her cloudy eyes showing not a hint of being moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, she spoke slowly: \"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bingwen was stunned, then said decisively: \"Of course it is! Mom, if I had known your condition was so serious, even if I had to sell the wedding house and borrow money everywhere, I would give up the wedding and make sure your illness is treated!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hui coughed, and those eyes, which appeared cloudy due to illness, now revealed an unusual sharpness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at the siblings in front of her and said calmly: \"The experts just said that we will use that CAR-T\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>therapy. They said my physical condition is quite good, and there is a great chance of being cured.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, her gaze sweeping slowly over their faces, and continued: \"Since that's the case, I've thought it through, and I intend to get treated. The experts said this will cost about 1.5 million. Bingwen, didn't you just say that even if you had to sell the house, you would treat Mom? Then—let's pool our money together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions on Chen Bingwen and Chen Yao’s faces instantly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Zhang Yan took a deep breath, suddenly stepped forward, and for the first time, looked directly at Chen Yao with such firmness: \"I don't have much money. For the initial hospitalization and examinations, I can only scrape together thirty or forty thousand for now. But I will continue to work and earn money, and then transfer it to my mom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than an hour of consultation, her mind was completely clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If possible, she really didn't want to owe Tang Song so much money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those favors and medical resources were, after all, for her mother's life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But 1.5 million—this number was too heavy; she really couldn't pay it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This heavy \"favor\" would make her feel even more insecure, and she didn't know how she could ever repay him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stared at by Zhang Yan’s clear and burning gaze, Chen Yao subconsciously took half a step back, her eyes flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly realized that she had missed a fatal key point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This money—from beginning to end, Tang Song hadn't said he would pay it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just because of the power and wealth he displayed that they subconsciously assumed he would!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bingwen stood there blankly, his mind weighing things rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't dare to agree at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't afford to gamble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, who knew how many women were around such a big tycoon who drove a Rolls-Royce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The relationship between Zhang Yan and the other party might not be that solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he agreed, and Zhou Hui really did that, and then they didn't manage to climb the high branch of Tang Song, his life would be completely ruined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hui continued: \"What? Bingwen, Yaoyao, are you going to pool the money or not?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bingwen said earnestly: \"Mom, look at you, why are you getting angry with us? The main thing now is that your illness is too urgent, and we can't scrape together enough money for the moment. Everything should be focused on treating the illness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can I treat the illness without money? Does what you just said still count?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I—I—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bingwen stammered, unable to speak, sweat starting to form on his forehead, subconsciously looking at Tang Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what greeted him were two calm and indifferent eyes, as if they had already seen through his little schemes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the aura from the other party, his heart tightened suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his head, his face flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hui smiled, a trace of mockery flashing in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had lived subserviently around this family for fifteen years and had long since seen the true nature of these siblings clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she learned that her chemotherapy for cancer had failed, the thing she worried about most was Zhang Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was afraid that after she was gone, that introverted and timid daughter would become even more isolated;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was even more afraid that she would follow in her footsteps, meet the wrong people, be bullied, and live a life even more miserable than hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Tang Song who appeared suddenly today made her see \"dawn,\" and she also saw clear admiration and emotion on Zhang Yan’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What she feared most was that this family would act like leeches, using this opportunity to stick to Zhang Yan and Tang Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely destroying the happiness her daughter had finally managed to have a chance at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she had to tear off their hypocritical masks in front of Tang Song and Zhang Yan, completely cutting off their thoughts of clinging to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this regard, as a mother, she was incomparably selfish and fearless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just in this silent confrontation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song’s voice suddenly sounded: \"It's already noon, Auntie, let's go handle the hospitalization first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Lin, standing nearby, spoke at the right time: \"Yes, business first. Lunch has already been prepared, and the family members can eat here in the lounge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hui nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yan carefully supported her mother’s arm and whispered, \"Mom, let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shuangshuang watched this scene, then looked back at her dejected father and her brother and sister, whose faces were livid, and bit her lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She picked up her schoolbag and trotted to catch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hui’s special ward was an independent suite. In addition to the bed area equipped with a private bathroom and advanced medical equipment, there was a small reception room with soft sofas and a coffee table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the window, it faced a quiet central garden of the hospital, full of greenery, which was refreshing to the mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the room, reception consultant Zhao Fei had been waiting for a long time with two nursing assistants. Seeing them enter, she immediately greeted them, \"Mr. Tang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song nodded and gently pulled Zhang Yan’s wrist, \"This is my friend Zhang Yan, and also the patient’s daughter. Zhao Fei, you stay here at the hospital for the next period of time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, Mr. Tang, no problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song looked at Zhang Yan and said: \"If there's anything, just tell Zhao Fei directly, and she will help you solve it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yan looked up at the elegant woman opposite her and bowed awkwardly, \"I'm sorry to trouble you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're too polite. Let me go handle the hospitalization procedures for your mother. This is Ms. Zhou’s exclusive nursing assistant, who will be here 24 hours a day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hui sat awkwardly on the sofa, watching the nursing assistant pour her warm water, looking at this environment that didn't look like a hospital ward at all, feeling at a loss for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lunch was soon delivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't any exotic delicacy, but four dishes and one soup carefully matched by the hospital’s nutrition expert team according to Zhou Hui’s current physical condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dishes were light but made extremely exquisitely, carefully packed in insulated lunch boxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lunch for Tang Song, Zhang Yan, and Chen Shuangshuang was much richer, also nutritionally balanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meal was eaten in unusual silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The haze that had been lingering in the hearts of the mother and two daughters dissipated bit by bit in this warm meal and peaceful environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the meal, the nursing assistant began to tidy up the bed for Zhou Hui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preparing for a nap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yan stood there, watching her mother settle into the newly changed, clean, and soft bedding, and only then did she truly heave a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister.\" A timid voice sounded from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yan turned her head and saw Chen Shuangshuang looking at her cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Tang Song is waiting for you outside.\" Chen Shuangshuang pointed outside the door, her voice very soft, \"Shouldn't you go and have a private chat with him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yan’s heart skipped a beat, she bit her lip hard, and then said \"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned around and walked outside with difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hui looked at her daughter, a thoughtful expression appearing in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inaudible footsteps approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song, who was replying to a message, looked up and saw Zhang Yan walking toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Yan.\" Tang Song called out softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm—. Yes. Thank you, I'm—I'm sorry—I—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yan lowered her head, her hands twisting her clothes helplessly, her long eyelashes casting a small, quiet shadow under her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This morning, Tang Song’s sudden appearance and everything he displayed caused a landslide-like shock in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Romance is undying, vulgarity is unavoidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was also a normal woman. At the most desperate and helpless moment, that boy who existed in her fantasies really descended like a \"Super Saiyan,\" destroying all the obstacles of reality and letting her see the light again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The touch and palpitation in her heart were indescribable, especially since she had always held a deep emotion for him that she couldn't even sort out herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at him now, this emotion that had been suppressed for more than ten years was like a volcano ignited in an instant, almost breaking through her chest and erupting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the immense insecurity and embarrassment trapped her in place like cold iron chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that letter, she wrote: [I also wish you to always be like you were in your youth, passionate, brave, with light in your eyes.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because she thought he was also struggling in the quagmire of life, and she hoped that her faint \"light\" could give him some insignificant encouragement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it seemed that he himself was the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song put down his phone and walked up to her, \"Why are you saying sorry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yan’s shoulders trembled imperceptibly, \"I—I've caused you trouble, a lot of trouble, and a lot of money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This doesn't count as trouble for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song shook his head and gently placed his hand on her shoulder, \"Zhang Yan, are we good friends?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yan slowly raised her head, looked into his eyes, her lips moving, and she spat out one word with absolute clarity: \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chaotic reunion, the hand-holding at the intersection, the painting of the rental house, the \"Dragon Ball\" of their youth...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these three short days of getting along, she had long since overlapped the Tang Song in front of her with the clean \"boy\" in her memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That best friend who would joke with her, care about her, and make her feel at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've read 'Dragon Ball,' you should remember when Goku defeated Frieza for the first time, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember.\" Zhang Yan looked at him timidly and answered subconsciously: \"Volume 16.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clean and warm smile appeared on Tang Song’s face, \"Now, life and illness are that 'Frieza.' It has made you feel unprecedented pressure and fear. But it has also given you a chance to transform.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yan looked into his eyes, and the tears could no longer be suppressed, gushing out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wiped her tears messily with the back of her hand and said with a sob, the deepest insecurity in her heart: \"But I—I'm very stupid, I'm not a Saiyan...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her view, Liu Qingning was the real \"Saiyan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song looked at the girl in front of him, crying like a rain-drenched pear blossom, her whole body trembling, and a complex and profound feeling surged in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he suddenly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why, when he first obtained the [Dream System], in the \"future images\" he saw, Zhang Yan would only pass the civil service exam at 31.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why she would drag it out until then to go through the trouble of asking someone to contact him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of like now, using a \"letter\" carrying ten years of thoughts to restart the story between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably, it was because of this sudden serious illness of her mother. As the only adult daughter, with Zhang Yan’s kind and timid personality, she absolutely could not abandon her mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also meant that in the original timeline without him, for a long time to come, she was deeply mired in the quagmire for this heavy responsibility and high medical expenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until her mother passed away and she had no one to rely on in this world, only then did she summon the courage to take the civil service exam and then try to contact him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of mood and state was she in at that time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song’s heart felt like it was being fiercely pinched by something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he changed by obtaining the system was never just his and Liu Qingning’s lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should also include her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Song took a deep breath, his gaze becoming incomparably serious, \"Then do you think I am a 'Saiyan'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yan raised her teary eyes and nodded without hesitation: \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly leaned down, moved closer, very, very close to her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So close that she could clearly feel his warm breath. Zhang Yan’s cheeks instantly turned bright red, and her body trembled violently, out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I will lend you the power that belongs to me. When you learn to transform into a 'Super Saiyan,' you can return this power to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said this, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lightly on her cold cheek, which was still stained with tear tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time seemed to be stretched and solidified at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang—bang bang—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yan’s eyes widened suddenly, and only the sound of her own heartbeat remained in her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they surpass countless people in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, she felt her legs go soft, all the strength in her body seemed to be drained, and she fell directly onto Tang Song.\u003C\u002Fp>",4518,"2026-06-17T14:18:13.546Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d88fb3afd54ea1968353dba90b52f384ac7a33c0436cfa38b59321feef84c517","maxed-out-charisma-inheriting-game-assets-chapter-531","maxed-out-charisma-inheriting-game-assets-chapter-529",669,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcharm-maxed-out-inheriting-game-assets-cover.jpg"]
