Li Qing noticed that Chen Ju changed the topic, so he didn’t ask more questions. He said with a smile: “That bar is very close to here. I’ll ride my electric scooter and take you there.”
This was Chen Ju’s first bar visit. He followed Li Qing awkwardly, not daring to look around.
The manager was a long haired man, just as warm and friendly as Li Qing. After sitting down for ten minutes, he and Chen Ju became brothers.
“From now on, Big Bro will protect you. Don’t worry, we are all decent people here!” The manager slapped Chen Ju heavily on the shoulder. “If there is any trouble, Big Bro will solve it in no time!”
“Thank you.” Chen Ju was very grateful.
After chatting about some follow-up matters, Chen Ju originally wanted to start working tonight, but the manager told him to rest and come back tomorrow night.
Coming out of the bar, the cold winter wind blew through the dark alley. Chen Ju took a deep breath, finally feeling some relaxation after carrying a heavy burden since the morning.

“What are you thinking about? You have such a serious face.” Li Qing walked over pushing the electric scooter, and looked at Chen Ju’s expression with a smile.
Chen Ju reacted, and hurriedly released his clenched fists, his cheeks burning. He said embarrassedly, “No, it’s nothing.”
“Haha, no need to feel embarrassed. By the way, where do you live? I can take you there!” Li Qing asked as he sat on the electric scooter.
Chen Ju’s eyes dimmed when he thought of the scene of leaving home in the morning. He didn’t want to go back to that place now.
“It’s too late now. Coincidentally, my house is nearby. So you can stay at my place tonight!” Li Qing suggested.
Chen Ju was stunned for a moment. He looked up, and met Li Qing’s smiling face. His eyes suddenly became hot. He quicky lowered his head and said thank you again. He had said thank you too many times tonight.
The next morning, Chen Ju quit his job at the hotel with the manager’s approval. The manager was very straightforward and gave him his salary, saying he could return anytime he wanted.
With the money in hand, Chen Ju got on the bus to the outskirts. There were still several hours before he shifted to the bar.
Last month, Chen Ju made an agreement with the person in charge at the hospital that he would pay off the medical and hospitalization fees owed over the years with this month’s salary.
However, Chen Ju lowered his head and held the bag in his arms, containing only three thousand yuan of this month’s salary. Compared with enormous medical expenses, it was still far behind. He didn’t know how much longer he would have to save.
If the iron box hadn’t been discovered… it was all his carelessness, hiding the iron box in such an obvious place.
The bumpy bus stopped, and the station’s speaker announced: Arrived at XX Mental Hospital.
Chen Ju slung his schoolbag over his shoulder and got off the bus through the rear door. The area outside the hospital was gloomy, with no one there, not even a glimpse of a nurse.
However, Chen Ju didn’t have the slightest fear. He had been here many times. For him, any place with his mother was not scary at all.
There was no one on the first floor. He walked up the wet concrete stairs to the second floor, where he finally saw a few nurses. One of the nurses saw Chen Ju and walked over.
“Xiao Chen, are you here to pick up your mother from the hospital?” the nurse said with a smile.
*** I sincerely apologize for not providing an update yesterday. I was occupied with my school work and couldn’t find the time. 🙍
Mental hospital? 😭 Chen ju really has it rough 😭😭 hopefully he’ll get his mama out of there with (future) hubby’s money
He certainly will. TwT
crying for chen ju😭
Me too~
I think it was quite nice of Chen Ju for not immediately agreeing about the “pretending to be someone’s lover” contract. He may appear naive sometimes, but he’s still got some principles, I guess. If he accepted the deal right away, I would have face-palmed by now. Chen Ju, FIGHTING!! (๑و•̀ω•́)و
I feel also the same way. Chen Ju is nice!
Really wishing for the best for Chen Ju, his aunt and uncle are just terrible people.
Thank you for reading!
I just hope his mom doesn’t die like in those dog-blooded manhwas and then the ml’s torture on the one hand and his emotional instability cuz of losing his mother on the other😭
Wishing Chen Ju a happy life.
