"Did your wealthy sister give this to you?" Zhou Huai asked with uncertainty, afraid it might be Chi Yu’s own savings. It wasn’t out of the question.
Chi Yu glanced at him, tossed the card into Zhou Huai’s hand, and walked off: "Yes, the wealthy lady gave it. And rember, this is a loan. When you turn things around, you have to pay it back. No password."
Zhou Huai held the card in his hand, montarily lost in thought.
His hands were slightly trembling.
Yes, he graduated from drama school. Yes, his dream is to be a big star, all just to et that person and stand by her side.
He had it all planned out: start from the bottom, work as an extra, a special actor, step by step until his face appeared before the cara, on the big screen, until... he could stand clean and dignified by her side.
Originally, he had planned out everything for his future.
But everything changed drastically six months before he graduated.
His sister, who depended on him, fell ill, diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer.
The doctor said the situation was dire, but if they actively pursued liver treatnt, there was still hope, though it was slim, just one percent.
The treatnt would cost a lot of money.
He was close to graduation, with no need to drop out, and his part-ti job had only allowed him to save a four-digit sum. He was desperately short of money, and a single day at the hospital for his sister could easily run into the five digits.
It wasn’t about using the best drugs but about the fact that in her situation only the best drugs could sustain her life.
Without money, the dication would stop.
Zhou Huai knew well what kind of place the entertainnt industry was. One couldn’t rise to success purely on ideals, but he could maintain his integrity.
But for money, he couldn’t keep his ideals or integrity; he needed to save his sister first.
Even though he verbally despised encountering a pervert, he was ready for the worst; he would grit his teeth and kneel if necessary, as long as they paid him.
To him, Chi Yu’s money was a bridge over a chasm, a light in the darkness.
"Bro, thanks. I’ll definitely pay you back as soon as possible," Zhou Huai said, his eyes heated, grateful for the money that would save his sister’s life.
He dashed to the hospital, and on his way out of Juhua dia, he collided with soone because he was running too fast in his excitent.
He knocked off the person’s sunglasses onto the ground.
Luckily, Sheng Yi was wearing flats, which helped her stabilize herself from the sudden collision.
However, when she saw her newly purchased five-digit sunglasses fall to the ground, her red lips parted slightly, and she looked at the culprit who bumped into her: "Even if you’re in a hurry, you shouldn’t run headlong into soone. My sunglasses... my newly-acquired model!!"
Zhou Huai’s first instinct was to ask if she was hurt, blaming his excitent; he couldn’t afford to waste a second getting to the hospital.
As a result, he ended up colliding with soone.
But when he looked up and saw the familiar face in front of him, Zhou Huai froze.
It was Sheng Yi, a top-tier actress, a popular television award winner, and a leading starlet—one of the current top female stars in the entertainnt industry.
Zhou Huai had seen her a long ti ago, back when she wasn’t famous yet.
Sheng Yi was in an extrely bad mood at the mont, getting hit as soon as she arrived at the company was frustrating.
Her eyebrows were furrowed: "Why are you staring at , little brother? Pick up my sunglasses."
Zhou Huai snapped out of it, bent down to pick up the sunglasses, wiped them with the hem of his shirt, and handed them back to Sheng Yi: "I’m sorry, I was in such a hurry that I accidentally bumped into you. Are you hurt anywhere?"
"I’m not that fragile, a bump doesn’t injure ."
Sheng Yi took back her sunglasses, checked them, and frowned deeper: "There are marks here already. How unlucky, why did I have to co to the company today! I haven’t been here for a month, why choose today."
Zhou Huai hadn’t closely inspected the sunglasses when he picked them up; hearing Sheng Yi ntion the scratches, he imdiately said, "I’m sorry, I’ll get you a new pair."
"It’s fine."
Sheng Yi wasn’t a petty person, and she wasn’t short of money.
Besides, the guy looked like a recent college graduate, probably a company newbie.
She tossed the sunglasses to him: "I don’t use damaged luxury items, not even with the slightest flaw, because they lower my class. You’re a newbie, right? I wore these sunglasses for the first ti today and they’re already flawed, so take them. It’s this season’s new model from TI; you can wear them before you beco famous, but not after."
Zhou Huai caught the sunglasses steadily, looking at Sheng Yi with shock.
Sheng Yi raised her eyebrows: "What, you don’t want them?"
"No, no," Zhou Huai shook his head, "I don’t mind, it’s just... I’m really sorry, I really apologize. Otherwise, I’ll pay..."
