The runaway Cinderella of the billionaire president

In the ward, Li Li, who was sleeping on a folding bed, was surprised to see Zhou Yian coming over. She whispered, "Aren't you at work? Why did you come over so suddenly?"

"I took a day off today, so I came to take a look."

"Why did you take leave for no reason? Did the doctor call you to come over?"

"No, I wanted to come here on my own."

Li Li realized that Zhou Yian might be in trouble. In order not to disturb the patients resting in the ward, she stood up and pulled Zhou Yian to sit on the bench in the corridor. "Yi'an, you look a little abnormal today. Did something happen?"

Zhou Yian was silent for a while. "It's nothing serious. Some annoying guests came today. I didn't want to stay there, so I ran out early."

"A very annoying guest? They force you to do things you don't want to do?"

"Yeah." This short word is filled with so much helplessness and inability.

"Hey, Yi'an, why don't you just stop working in the PR department? You're too pretty and too dangerous. Even if you don't take those dirty orders, there will always be bad-hearted people who are eyeing you. They're not good people."

Zhou Yian was embarrassed. "But, I have no choice. Today the hospital urged me to pay the medical expenses again. My mother has been lying here for more than half a month and still hasn't woken up. Although the intracranial surgery was successful and she has passed the critical period, the doctor said that there is still fluid in her brain. There will be a large amount of medical expenses in the future. If I don't do this, I don't know where I will get the money."

Li Li sighed, she knew Zhou Yian's predicament and helplessness. He came from a single-parent family and there had been almost no contact with relatives in the past few years. It was really difficult for her to support the family alone now.

After a short silence, Zhou Yian suddenly said self-deprecatingly: "Why not sell me? Maybe you can get some money after selling me."

Hearing her say this, Li Li's eyes widened as big as bells, "Are you kidding? Don't talk about this kind of thing."

Seeing that Li Li was frightened, Zhou Yian chuckled, "Of course I was joking. I will find a way to hold on. Li Li, you have worked hard these days. Thank you for helping me so much. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do alone."

After hearing these words, Li Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Yi'an, I know you've been under a lot of pressure recently. If you really can't hold on, I won't blame you." After saying this, she looked at Zhou Yi'an meaningfully.

Zhou Yian was stunned and joked, "What's wrong? Do you support me to sell it? Should I sell it for 10 yuan or 8 yuan per pound?"

Li Li blushed and said shyly, "Oh, of course not. I just thought that if you couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to give up and go back to being a waitress, I would support you. What are you thinking? I am not that kind of person."

Zhou Yian looked at Li Li infatuatedly, and his heart suddenly softened. This person had been facing him with her true self since the first day he entered the club, and until now when he was in trouble, she had never thought of leaving him.

Li Li saw Zhou Yian staring at her and curiously touched her face with her hand, "Is there something on my face? You've been staring at me."

"No, I just suddenly remembered something." Zhou Yian pulled his thoughts back from the past to the present.

Hearing her say this, Li Li didn't know what she remembered. She leaned against the wall with her head against the wall, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, "Yian, tell me the truth, have you thought about the future?"

Zhou Yian also adjusted himself to the same sitting posture as Li Li. The two sat side by side, their shoulders leaning against each other.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Yian whispered, "No, I don't dare to think about it."

"I can't even take care of the present, how can I dare to think about the future? I go to work and come home every day, running between the hospital and the club, making money here and spending money there. What I earn is not enough to spend, so what's the future to talk about? As long as my mother is fine, I can do anything."

"What about you, Li Li."

"Me? I haven't really thought about it."

Li Li sighed deeply. "Tell me, why are our lives so miserable? As for me, I was abandoned by my biological parents when I was very young. Although my adoptive parents treated me well over the years, there has always been a thorn in my heart..."

"I wonder if I am just a child bride who was picked up as a backup. If necessary, I can be both a daughter and a daughter-in-law."

"What about you? You come from a single-parent family. You finally graduated and can earn money to support your family. But your aunt is like this. Sometimes I really think that our lives are quite miserable."

Zhou Yian smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Maybe God wants to give a man a great responsibility, and he must first make his heart and mind suffer and his muscles and bones work hard."

"Maybe if we can get through this period, happiness will finally come to us. Just like Zhen Huan, our happiness is yet to come."

After this joking remark was made, the two of them felt much better. They chatted idly, and finally, they couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep leaning on each other.

When it was dawn, there were more people in the corridor. The two people were woken up and returned to the ward.

Zhou Yian looked at the watch and it was only a little after five o'clock. "Li Li, you should get some more sleep. We talked too late last night."

"What about you?" Li Li yawned and looked sleepy as if she had not woken up yet.

"I'll find a stool and lie down next to my mother's bed for a while. You go to sleep."

Li Li was so sleepy that she followed Zhou Yian's instructions and went back to sleep on the folding bed.

Zhou Yian found a stool, sat on the edge of the bed, held Zhou's mother's hand, and fell asleep on the edge of the bed with his arms as a pillow.

Half asleep and half awake, Zhou Yian felt her mother's hand move. She raised her head with difficulty and squinted her eyes to look, but it seemed that her mother's hand did not move. It might be an illusion. She was too sleepy and fell heavily to the ground again.

Suddenly, she raised her head and woke up instantly. She held her breath and stared at Mother Zhou's hand without blinking, saying silently in her heart, "It moved. Her hand just moved. It's not an illusion. It's not an illusion."

She stared at it for a few seconds, and she clearly saw Mother Zhou's fingers move. She couldn't help but cover her mouth, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat with excitement.

After making sure it was not an illusion, he quickly pressed the call bell at the bedside, and the nurse on duty came over soon.

"Nurse, I...my mother's hand just moved. Is she awake?"

"It moved? Let me see what's going on." After checking, the nurse called the doctor over.

As soon as the nurse left, Zhou Yian saw that Zhou's mother's eyes opened and she grinned at her.

She excitedly grabbed her hand and called softly: "Mom, Mom, you finally woke up."

At this time, the nurse and the doctor came in together, "Come on, family members, make way, I will give her a simple examination first."

At this time, Li Li was also awakened. She was still asleep and looked confused. "Yian, what's wrong?"

Zhou Yian said in a somewhat excited tone: "My mother is awake."

Li Li jumped up from the bed and asked in surprise, "Awake?"

Zhou Yian nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Ah, really?" Li Li realized she was shouting too loudly and quickly covered her mouth. She then tidied up the folding bed and stood by like Zhou Yian, watching the doctor examine Zhou's mother.
