Time seemed to be paused at this moment. Everything around was still, leaving only the heavy breathing and heartbeats, interweaving into a silent symphony in the air.

The atmosphere was so tense that it was almost suffocating. It seemed as if a huge rock was pressing on everyone's heart, expecting something and fearing something at the same time.

Zhao Lili slowly turned her head, her eyes crossing the distance of space and meeting Gu Kang's.

These two pairs of eyes exchanged thousands of words in the silent gaze. Without saying much, they could already see through each other's intentions.

Time seems to be stretched at this moment. One minute of silence is worth more than a thousand words.

Finally, their eyes turned to Gu Ranle at the same time, with complex emotions flashing in their eyes——

There is anticipation, excitement, and a hint of uneasiness.

Gu Ranle stood there quietly, becoming the focus of everyone's attention. Her every expression touched the hearts of everyone present.

Zhao Lili swallowed hard, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke tentatively, "Le Le, are you... are you telling the truth? You don't have to pay back the money you paid me before, and as long as I remarry your uncle, you will give Yue Ming and Lan Shan 10 million each, which makes a total of 20 million?"

There was surprise and a hint of disbelief in her tone.

A hint of disgust flashed across Gu Ranle's eyes, and she nodded.

"Yes, there are no strings attached to this money. You are completely free to spend it as you wish."

Although her voice was soft, every word was clear, like the warm sunshine in spring, penetrating some people's hearts, but also as biting and cold as the cold wind.

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Lili responded impatiently, her tone full of urgency and determination: "Okay! Then your uncle and I will remarry today!"

She made the decision so quickly, as if she was afraid of missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Gu Kang also nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Well, we will remarry today."

Although his voice was not as excited as Zhao Lili's, it also revealed his inner joy.

Gu Yueming and Gu Lanshan looked at each other, with complex emotions in their eyes.

Although they had anticipated such an outcome, when the moment actually came, the pain in their hearts still surged like a tide, indescribable.

They understand that no matter how hard they try, their place in their parents' hearts will never seem to be as great as the temptation brought by cold money.

At this moment, the air is filled with an indescribable atmosphere, an interweaving of joy and sorrow, a collision of reality and ideal.

Everyone was silently calculating in their hearts.

However, the family affection and love hidden by money are extremely fragile.

Gu Ranle watched all this with mixed feelings.

She knew that it would be difficult for Gu Yueming and Gu Lanshan to accept this for a while, but they had to grow up.

They should understand that some people are really not worth looking forward to.

Before leaving, Gu Ranle glanced at the two sisters. They lowered their heads, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Maybe they were wondering why they met such parents.

In this life, we have no choice between life and death.

Walking down the stairs of the hospital building, Gu Ranle's steps inadvertently carried a hint of heaviness, but this heaviness was soon broken by an unexpected encounter.

Li Nanxi, the woman who was once as proud as a peacock, now appeared in her sight in an almost fragile posture.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Gu Ranle felt a little nervous at the changes in Li Nanxi.

The white hair seemed to have grown even whiter, and the whole person seemed to have been drained of all vitality. Even his walking seemed limp and he had no strength at all.

"Miss Gu..."

Li Nanxi's voice was thin and trembling with an indescribable tone.

Before he could finish his words, his eyes were already red and tears were welling up in his eyes, as if they would burst out at any moment.

If Gu Ranle had not been quick to help in time, Li Nanxi would have fallen to his knees and lost all his dignity.

"Miss Li, what are you doing? I can't afford such a generous gift. I'm afraid it will shorten my life."

As Gu Ranle spoke, she gently used her toes to press against Li Nanxi's knees as she was about to kneel, stopping her in a gentle yet firm manner.

Li Nanxi couldn't hold back her tears and choked up, "Please, save Hongxuan, please? I really have no other choice..."

Her voice was full of despair and pleading, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of her heart, heavy and sincere.

Gu Ranle looked at the current appearance of his former rival and couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart.

Perhaps because she had recently made friends with several relatives, her state of mind had quietly changed, becoming softer and more easily touched.

She sighed secretly and was about to say something when Gu Xiaohei's voice suddenly rang out.

[Woman, there is a limited-time reward now, do you want it? ]

Limited time reward?

This is the first time I’ve heard of the dog system in seven years.

Gu Ranle was a little curious.

[Please elaborate on what the reward is.]

[Cure Li Hongxuan and get a 10% favorability reward.] [Are you sure this favorability is from Li Shenzhi? There is such a good thing? You are not making fun of me, are you?]

【Limited to three hours.】

【…】

[You bastard, Li Hongxuan's illness can be cured in three hours? I'm a doctor, not a god.]

[Limited time reward, you will get reward if you complete it, and there is no loss if you fail to complete it. So, give it a try. ]

【Just give it a try】

"Let's go. I'll go with you to see Li Hongxuan."

Gu Ranle's voice was soft but extremely firm.

She knew that taking this step might lead her to more trouble, but the kindness and compassion in her heart prevented her from standing idly by.

Her intuition told her that Li Hongxuan's illness might be more complicated than she thought.

As Gu Ranle agreed, gratitude and hope flashed in Li Nanxi's eyes.

The two came to Li Hongxuan's ward. The door was half-open, and the sound of heavy conversation could be heard from inside.

"Brother, cheer up. Medical science is so advanced nowadays. Your illness can definitely be cured."

Li Jingwen's voice was tearful, but she tried to remain firm.

"Jingwen, stop comforting me. Dad has told me that this is a malignant tumor, and it is already in the late stage. Resection is useless."

Li Hongxuan's voice was low and desperate, and every word sounded like a sigh squeezed from the bottom of his heart.

"As long as you don't give up, there is always hope!"

Li Jingwen's voice rose a few notches, with a hint of stubbornness.

"it's useless--"

Li Hongxuan's words were full of helplessness and despair, as if he had lost his last hope in life.

Just then, Gu Ranle pushed open the door and walked into the ward.

She looked around, and finally her eyes fell on Li Hongxuan, with a sneer on her lips.

"Oh, you're giving up just like that? Then your life is really worthless."

Gu Ranle's words were like a sharp blade, instantly cutting through the heavy atmosphere in the ward.

Li Jingwen stood up suddenly, eyes wide open, glaring at Gu Ranle.

"You...what right do you have to say that about my brother?! What qualifications do you have?!"

"Jingwen, shut up! Apologize to Miss Gu!"

Li Nanxi's voice was stern and cold, interrupting Li Jingwen's roar.

Li Jingwen looked at her mother in confusion, her eyes red with resentment and grievance.

"Mother……"

"Apologize!"

Li Nanxi's expression was terribly serious, leaving no room for negotiation.

Li Jingwen's lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to say something else, but in the end she could only bite her lower lip tightly and swallow back the tears that were about to overflow.

After a moment, she slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with strong hatred, staring straight at Gu Ranle.

"sorry!"

She uttered these three words word by word, and each word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, full of reluctance and humiliation.

Gu Ranle raised her eyebrows slightly, with a playful smile on her lips, "Your apology sounds really forced, Li Jingwen."

Li Jingwen glared angrily, clenched her hands into fists, and her body trembled slightly with anger.

If she could, she really wanted to beat Gu Ranle up right away.

This woman is even more annoying than Xiao Nan!

"I'm here to treat your brother. Are you sure you want to look at me like that?"

There was a hint of joking in Gu Ranle's words, but they also revealed unquestionable confidence.

Li Jingwen was stunned at first, then sneered:.

"You? Treat my brother? Why? Can you treat illnesses? If you can, then what are doctors for?"

"Li Jingwen!"

Li Nanxi's voice was stern and cold, and his palm was raised high, but was gently stopped by Gu Ranle.

Gu Ranle smiled slyly, "Why get angry? Wait until I cure her brother, and then I'll wait for her to slap herself in the face. That's when it will be louder."

"Thank you, Miss Gu!" Li Nanxi's voice was full of gratitude and expectation.

"Mother--"

Li Jingwen wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Nanxi's stern look.

Gu Ranle walked to Li Hongxuan's bedside, unceremoniously lifted Li Jingwen's collar, pulled her aside, and sat down on the chair she had just sat on.

"Lele..."

Li Hongxuan's voice was weak and trembling, as if every word had drained all his strength.

Gu Ranle glared at him and said, "Shut up. Put your hand out."

Li Hongxuan stretched out his hand obediently. The blood vessels on his wrist were clearly visible, revealing a sickly paleness.

Gu Ranle's fingers gently rested on his pulse, and her expression gradually changed from relaxed at first to solemn.

Li Nanxi stood aside, his expression tense, even holding his breath, watching the changes in Gu Ranle's expression without blinking.

As Gu Ranle's expression changed, Li Nanxi's heart also began to fluctuate.

She began to doubt whether it was the right decision to place her hopes on Gu Ranle.

However, things have come to this point, she has no way out and can only pray silently, hoping that Gu Ranle can really create a miracle and save her son.

The atmosphere in the ward became extremely depressing. Everyone held their breath, as if even the air had frozen.

Gu Ranle's fingers were still on Li Hongxuan's pulse, her eyes were deep and focused, as if at this moment, there were only her and Li Hongxuan left in the whole world.
