After a while, Ji Zisheng suddenly got up and went to the bathroom.

He was not the kind of person who would take advantage of others!

Early the next morning.

Shao Qing slowly sat up and felt a splitting headache. She rubbed her temples with her hands. When she heard someone coughing beside her, she was shocked and looked up.

Ji Zisheng was smoking on the side.

"Why are you here?" she asked in a panic.

"Blacked out?" Ji Zisheng put down his crossed legs and casually pressed the cigarette into the ashtray, "You were drunk last night. This is my home. You don't have to go to work today. I've asked for leave for you."

Shao Qing looked down at herself. Her clothes were neat, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ji. I've made a fool of myself." As she spoke, she stood up and prepared to leave.

She was no longer in the mood to maintain her elegance. She just wanted to stay away from this man.

However, Ji Zisheng walked over to her leisurely and said, "Manager Shao, you're really good at playing. Have you thought about the consequences of playing with me?"

Shao Qing thought that he was talking about the engagement ceremony. She didn't want to annoy Ji Zisheng, so she quickly put on a smile and said, "I just want to give Mr. Ji a affectionate persona. I was too nervous and said something wrong. Please forgive me. You can't blame me for being an inexperienced little woman, can you?"

Ji Zisheng smirked and approached her step by step. His deep black eyes seemed to see through people, "Were you getting close to me to get revenge on your stepmother and stepsister? I thought it was me who slept with you, but it turns out it was you who slept with me."

Shao Qing came to a sudden realization. It turned out that what he cared about was this matter. A man's self-esteem was indeed boring, childish, and ridiculous.

Shao Qing met his gaze and her expression became serious, "Haven't you ever looked at yourself in the mirror, Mr. Ji?"

Ji Zisheng asked, "Hmm?"

She smiled faintly, "If you look at yourself in the mirror, you should know how charming you are. Do I need to give myself a reason to take revenge on my stepmother and sister? Mr. Ji, you have to be more confident!"

Ji Zisheng couldn't help bursting into laughter.

This woman was actually rascally but a little cute.

He turned around, sat on the sofa, and began to play with his mobile phone, "Shao Budong is a miser. You made him lose 20 million yuan. He won't let you go."

"It seems that you don't like Shao Budong and don't love Shao Yu." Shao Qing asked, "Then why must you marry the daughter of the Shao family?"

"You don't need to know."

Shao Qing didn't want to waste any more time. She walked to the door, put on her shoes, and was ready to open the door.

Ji Zisheng reminded her coldly from behind, "You're my fiancee now. If you don't want to be on gossip news, don't go to the bar to drink, let alone get drunk."

She paused, rolled her eyes, and walked away.

As soon as she walked out of the apartment, she received a call from her best friend, Gong Fei. The two of them made an appointment to meet in a cafe.

When Gong Fei saw her, she threw her phone on the table. It was the news page of the engagement, "What's going on? How did you become Ji Zisheng's fiancee?"

Shao Qing stroked her hair irritably and told Gong Fei everything.

"Your father is really a jerk!" Gong Fei said indignantly, "But you are ruthless enough. You said that you can't have children and donate 20 million yuan. How could you think of that? In front of so many people, the Ji family and the Shao family could only accept it. I guess they hate you so much."

Shao Qing shrugged indifferently, "They forced me. I said I couldn't have children, so I don't have to actually marry Ji Zisheng, let alone have a child for him. As for the 20 million, it's what Shao Budong owes me. I actually think it's not enough."

"But," Gong Fei stirred the coffee in her hand with an infatuated look, "Isn't it good to marry Ji Zisheng? He's handsome, unrestrained, and capable. Many women want to marry him!"

"He's just a scumbag. Sooner or later, he'll be the second Shao Budong. I don't want to go down the same path as my mother." Shao Qing said.

"A scumbag? Isn't he a handsome guy famous for celibacy?" Gong Fei surprised.

"He..." Shao Qing wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. After a thought, she didn't tell Gong Fei about her and Ji Zisheng.

Fortunately, Gong Fei did not ask any more questions, "What are you going to do next? Are you really going to fake your marriage with Ji Zisheng?"

"It would be better not to!" Shao Qing rolled her eyes and said, "I have to find a way to break off the engagement."

While talking, the phone rang again.

It was a call from her neighbor, Ms. Wang. She sounded very anxious, "Xiaoqing, your mother has a heart attack again. She's in the hospital now. Hurry up and have a look!"

Before she could think, Shao Qing ran out of the coffee shop and stopped a taxi to go to the hospital.

Mrs. Shao had always had a heart condition. A few years ago, she even had a bypass surgery, and Gong Fei had lent her the money for the operation, which was just recently paid off.

She was burning with anxiety and self-blame. If she could go home first in the morning, maybe her mother would be fine.

When she arrived at the hospital, before the car even came to a stop, she jumped out and rushed through the hospital gates. She was informed that Mrs. Shao had been transferred to the inpatient department and headed there without hesitation.

Just then, a doctor came out of the ward. It was Dr. Huo, who had performed the bypass surgery on Mrs. Shao.

She hurried forward and asked, "Dr. Huo, how is my mother?"

Dr. Huo was gentle and a young doctor with good medical ethics. When he saw Shao Qing, he was also very enthusiastic, "Don't worry, Shao Qing. Your mother's condition has stabilized for the time being, but..."

Shao Qing's heart sank, "But what? Tell me, I can bear it."

Dr. Huo's expression was grave, "Your mother has already shown signs of heart failure and her life is in danger at any time. The only way now is to transplant her heart."

In terms of medical knowledge, Shao Qing didn't understand much. She only knew that it was a major surgery, but she believed it was worth a try as long as it could save her mother.

So she replied without hesitation, "Okay! When can my mother have the operation?"

Dr. Huo sighed, "Heart transplant donors are extremely scarce, I can't determine how long it will take. Additionally, the surgery and post-operative immunosuppressive drugs will cost at least one million yuan."

Shao Qing felt a buzz in her head and barely managed to stand firm with the help of the wall.

A million yuan was a lot of money for her. More importantly, she was not sure if her mother could wait long.

Dr. Huo quickly helped her sit on the bench. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I read the news. Aren't you engaged to the president of the Jiting Group? Then the cost should not be a problem, and with his connections, he may be able to arrange it earlier."

Shao Qing looked embarrassed, "Doctor Huo, it's not as simple as you think, but I'll give it a try."

Seeing that her mother had not woken up yet, Shao Qing did not stay in the hospital to waste time.

She immediately thought going to to find Shao Budong. Mrs. Shao was his first wife, so he had the obligation to help her.

Unexpectedly, Shao Budong asked her to go to the Ji's House to find him. Shao Qing knew that she was going to be impeached by the two families, but for the sake of Mrs. Shao, she had to go there anyway.

*

The Ji's Villa was a typical rich district. It was next to mountains and rivers, luxurious but extraordinary.

In the living room, Shao Budong and Master of Ji family were both sitting with serious expressions on their faces. No one spoke.

Shao Qing pinched the corner of her clothes and looked at her toes, not daring to make a sound.

She was here to ask for help. She had no choice but to bow her head.

Ji Zisheng felt fresh to see her servile look. He looked at her with great interest as he played with the lighter in his hand.

After a long while, Master Ji broke the suffocating atmosphere. He said in a deep and powerful voice, " Shao Qing, are you really infertile?"

Shao Qing was stunned and stumped by this question.

If she said yes, she would definitely be despised. If she said no, it meant that she lied and fooled everyone at the engagement ceremony. No matter which answer it was, both families would be angry, and Shao Budong would not pay for the operation for Mrs. Shao.

She looked up at Ji Zisheng, hoping that he would help her out.

Unexpectedly, he was rubbing his lower lip with his index finger. His faint smile showed that he wanted to see her make a fool of herself.

Shao Qing was furious. She made up her mind and pointed at Chu Liuchen, "I'm fine. There's something wrong with his body. He was impotent!"
