With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

After filming wrapped, Shen Li returned to the dressing room accompanied by Xiao Yun.

Apan was on the phone: "Okay, no problem, I'll talk to her..."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Li looked at him questioningly: "Is this Sister Kuan?"

Apan nodded and said, "Sister Kuan said a platform has an 'A+ level' project for you. It's a 'youth campus' drama. The production team said the confirmed male lead is Song Anyu, and he recommended you for the female lead role."

"We've been getting some buzz online lately, with a few trending topics and a CP (couple) fanbase. The production team thinks that if you two team up again, it will generate natural traffic, so they approached Sister Kuan. Sister Kuan wants to ask for your opinion."

Shen Li was somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "Song Anyu recommended me?"

A-Pan nodded: "That's what the production team told Sister Kuan."

Xiaoyun looked at Shen Li with some concern and said, "Li, I still feel scared when I think about what happened last time. Maybe we should just forget about it..."

"Do you have a script?" Shen Li asked.

"Yes, Sister Kuan sent it over. I'll print it out for you in a bit," Apan said.

Shen Li nodded, not particularly resistant to the idea. She only reads the script when acting, and if she's interested in a role, she'll accept it.

To her surprise, Song Anyu actually offered her a role. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but think that he might feel guilty about what happened last time, which was why he did this.

If it's a good role, I'll thank him.

The next day, Shen Ci got up very early.

Why are you up so early too? Do you have class?

Pili ran into Shen Ci washing up when he returned from his morning exercise and couldn't help but ask her a question.

Gu Lianxing was still fast asleep with her head covered.

"I'm going to the hospital to visit our counselor."

“That’s perfect. I’ll go with you. I’ll take this opportunity to visit my teacher’s wife.”

Shen Ci was taken aback: "The same hospital?"

Pili smiled and nodded.

So the two packed up and left the dormitory together, without waking Gu Lianxing, who was fast asleep.

Upon arriving at the ward, I learned that the department head had left the previous night. At this moment, there was only a thin but clean-dressed old woman by Director Li's bedside.

I didn't see Director Li's wife.

"Director Li!" Shen Ci called out as soon as he entered the room.

Li Jianguo had already woken up and greeted Shen Ci with a smile when he saw her: "Oh, Shen Ci, why did you come so early?"

Shen Ci said, "I woke up early and was thinking of buying you some breakfast and bringing it over."

She actually didn't trust Director Li's unreliable wife and was afraid that no one would take care of Director Li at his bedside, so she came early in the morning, but Shen Ci naturally couldn't say this.

Seeing an elderly woman there, Shen Ci didn't know if she was Director Li's mother or his mother-in-law, but she still greeted her politely: "Hello, Grandma, I am Teacher Li's student."

"Mom, this is Shen Ci. I fainted suddenly yesterday, and thankfully she was there and brought me to the hospital," Li Jianguo quickly introduced to his mother.

Upon hearing this, Li's mother excitedly grasped Shen Ci's hand: "Oh, little girl, thank you so much."

Seeing her genuine gratitude, Shen Ci could roughly guess that she was Director Li's mother.

"You're welcome, Grandma. It's my pleasure."

As Shen Ci put down the breakfast she had bought, she asked, "Did the doctor say you can eat now? I bought steamed buns, porridge, and eggs. Would you like some?"

Li Jianguo nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this: "Okay, thank you for your trouble, Shen Ci."

"Director Li, don't stand on ceremony with me," Shen Ci said while opening her breakfast. "I've been taken care of by you since I started university. Now that you're sick, isn't it only right that I do something for you?"

"Have the results come out yet? What exactly is the problem?" Shen Ci asked.

Li Jianguo shook his head: "Not yet, I'm also waiting for news, but I don't feel any discomfort in my body, so I should be fine."

Hearing him say it himself, Shen Ci felt much more at ease.

Director Li's wife did not show up until 9:30 a.m., and the doctor did not come either.

Li's mother couldn't sit still any longer and stood up, saying, "Oh dear, why isn't the doctor here yet? He should give us a definite answer as to whether I can be discharged. I'll go ask."

"Mom, stop fussing. This hospital is huge, you'll get lost and won't be able to find your way around." Li Jianguo called out to her worriedly.

Seeing this, Shen Ci looked at the two of them and said, "Then I'll go. The sooner I finish asking, the sooner I'll feel at ease."

Li Jianguo didn't stop her, but after Shen Ci left the ward, Li's mother scolded her son: "Do you think it's appropriate for you to make a student do these things? It's such a hassle."

Li Jianguo smiled and said, "It's alright, Mom. Shen Ci is a really good child."

The old lady sighed and sat back down in her chair: "Xiaolin hasn't shown her face at all. They're not even divorced yet. How can she do this?"

When Liu Xiaolin was suddenly mentioned, the smile on Li Jianguo's face disappeared, but he didn't say much. He just lowered his eyelids and fell silent in dejection.

doctor's office.

"Why are you asking again? Didn't the family members just come by?"

When the doctor heard that Shen Ci was a family member of patient Li Jianguo, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Shen Ci was taken aback: "The family has come?"

“Yes, his wife came by and just left,” the doctor said, looking at Shen Ci.

Shen Ci nodded, and before leaving, she subconsciously asked, "Is he alright?"

The doctor's expression froze, and he even sighed. Shen Ci immediately became alert: "What's wrong, doctor? Is there a problem?"

"Then I'll say it again." The doctor's expression was exceptionally serious, which made Shen Ci's heart race and her scalp tingle.

"It's 'idiopathic pulmonary hypertension'!"

Shen Ci's eyes widened in surprise: "What?"

She had never heard of this disease before.

The doctor explained with a serious expression, "This is a rare disease. It is a persistent increase in pulmonary artery pressure caused by an unexplained increase in pulmonary vascular resistance, which leads to abnormal pulmonary artery pressure at rest. His fainting spell yesterday caused by the severe pain was due to this."

Shen Ci couldn't understand the professional explanation that followed, but the words "rare disease" clearly reached her ears.

How could someone get a rare disease?

The diseases called rare diseases are almost all incurable. Shen Ci froze, her hands and feet were cold, and her eyes were sore.

She asked cautiously, "Doctor, is there any possibility of a cure?"

The doctor hesitated for a moment, then said, "Currently, the main treatment for this disease internationally is medication. 'Targeted therapies' from abroad can effectively control the condition, but long-term use of medication still has some harmful effects on the body. The only way to cure it is a lung transplant."

"Are there any lung donors?"

"We have to wait."

Shen Ci left the doctor's office in a daze, her head buzzing. She wanted to find a place to calm down, but unexpectedly, through the glass of the emergency exit door, she saw Li Jianguo's wife making a phone call inside.

“Oh dear, since he has this illness, my daughter will definitely be awarded to me. You have a son, so why can’t I have a daughter?”

"I want the house. So what if it's his premarital property? Doesn't raising a daughter cost money?"

“I know him. He loves Yuanyuan so much, he will definitely leave the house to Yuanyuan.”
