The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession

Chapter 1115 - 59: You’re My Girlfriend

Mrs. Zhao’s surgery also requires a large sum of money. The Zhao family basically has no savings, let alone the fact that her adoptive father likes to gamble.

Zhao Anqi borrowed money from friends and family overnight but didn’t manage to gather much.

When Ada arrived, she was sitting on the bench outside the ward, hugging her legs with her head buried between them.

Her already thin figure appeared even more frail.

Ada was basically familiar with her situation. Looking at her like this, it truly made one’s heart ache.

"How did your mother’s surgery go?"

Ada asked as she stood before her. She slowly raised her head, her bloodshot eyes looked utterly exhausted, "It’s done. She hasn’t woken up yet. The doctor says there’s still an observation period."

Her voice was hoarse as well, "Sorry, Sister Ada, I was gathering the surgery fee last night, so I didn’t go back."

"Did you manage to gather enough for the surgery?"

Zhao Anqi shook her head.

Ada sighed and said, "I can apply to the company to see if they can advance you some money to resolve the immediate crisis, but the process is complicated, and I doubt it will be timely. As for me..."

"No need, thank you, Sister Ada. I’m afraid I can’t repay it." She covered her face, appearing utterly desperate.

Ada wasn’t sure what to say for a moment. She remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "You are about to debut soon. Once you take on more engagements, you’ll naturally be able to repay it. I just came to confirm your personal safety. The company has a lot going on, and I can’t stay long. If you need anything, you can call me anytime."

Zhao Anqi nodded, and only then did Ada reluctantly leave, turning back frequently as she went.

No one knows when their promotional film will be scheduled.

How can she leave now? Her adoptive father not only lacks self-awareness but also blames her for not having money, and her brother needs her care as well. Zhao Anqi has never hated her biological parents this much before; if it wasn’t for them giving birth to her, if it wasn’t for them giving her up, how would she have ended up in this situation?

Lin Ji Yang appeared in the hospital at night, bundled up, and only revealed his face after pulling Zhao Anqi into a corner.

"Why do you look so haggard? Haven’t you slept all night? Haven’t eaten anything?" Lin Ji Yang handed the thermos he had to her, "I bought it especially for you."

He had also gone out of his way to investigate her adoptive mother’s condition and the predicament she was in at the hospital.

"I can’t eat." Zhao Anqi buried her head in his chest. In this situation where she felt isolated and helpless, his appearance was a great comfort.

Wasn’t it the same last time? He suddenly appeared and saved her.

"Don’t worry! Do you know Zhu Yiming? The famous genius doctor!" Lin Ji Yang cleared his throat, "My friend happens to know him. When I arrived, I asked about your mother’s surgery; it went very successfully, and there’s no threat to her life."

"But what if there are post-surgery complications and she never wakes up, becoming a vegetative state, or loses..."

"No ifs. I already said there’s no issue. And... I’ve also paid for your mother’s expenses, so hurry up and eat this!"

Zhao Anqi stepped back from him, "Who asked you to pay?"

"You’re my girlfriend. What’s wrong with me paying for you? Isn’t it common for men to cover expenses in relationships?" Lin Ji Yang thought it was generally like this.

He spoke so casually, as if such a huge medical expense was just a regular dating cost for him?

"This isn’t just a meal; it’s a big surgery fee. You might be really wealthy, and maybe it’s not a big deal to you, but I..."

"Alright, alright. If you think it’s important, just consider it a loan from me. You’re already borrowing from others, so why not borrow from me? If you owe me money, you definitely can’t dump me!"

What he said... left Zhao Anqi speechless.
