There was only about six hundred thousand dollars in the bank card, just enough to pay for her mother's surgery and the follow-up medical expenses.

Trembling, she signed the consent form, and Joy and the hospital staff escorted her mother into the operating room.

The time she had to wait was as long as her life. She had never believed in ghosts or gods, but now she couldn't help but count every single one of them in her heart, giving them a pious worship.

Her mother was the only family she had left in this world. If the operation failed, what was the point of her persevering for so long?

Still unable to control her fear, she paced back and forth in front of the surgery door. She was too tired to walk, so she leaned back in the chair. She fell asleep, but was woken up by the nightmare.

In the dream, the mother was covered in blood. The doctor covered the mother from head to foot with a white cloth.

She woke up with a start and covered her face with her hands. Before she could even begin to cry, she found that her face was full of tears.

Then the lights came on in the operating room, and Josephine stood up, even more frightened.

She had just finished that nightmare when the lights in the operating room lit up. Could it be...

The door opened and Zhao XinCi was pushed out. She was relieved that she did not see the white cloth that she had imagined. However, seeing her mother's entire head tightly wrapped in gauze made her heart ache.

"Miss Qiao, the operation is a success." the doctor said.

She wiped the tears from her face and said, "Thank you, Doctor, thank you."

The doctor, who was used to being cold-hearted, could not help but feel pity for the girl in front of him. He nodded and patted her on the shoulder. "Take good care of your mother."

"En!" She and the hospital staff pushed her mother into the intensive care unit.

Although the operation was successful, Zhao XinCi fell into a deep slumber. The doctor said it was a good thing that the patient had fallen into a coma after a brain operation, which would help the patient recover his or her brain and avoid the danger of a wound in his or her waking state.

Only now did Josephine relax.

Over the next few days, Josemu concentrated on taking care of her mother. Every day, she would use a hot water stick to clean her mother's body and help her change the medicine.

The doctor and the nurse were moved by her filial piety and treated her well.

There was so much news about the bankruptcy of the Joe family business outside that it was very much in the air, and Josephine often read about it in newspapers bought by others. As expected, the photos of him being interrogated by the reporters at the entrance of the hospital frequently appeared in the newspapers. But then, she was a mess, her hair was a mess, and now she was clean and tidy, so very few people in the hospital recognized her.

These days, she only ate hospital food and didn't leave the hospital, so the reporters wouldn't be able to get to her.

She asked for a long leave of absence from the company on the grounds of caring for her sick mother. The editor did not agree, but he did not say he would dismiss her.

Two days later, the news of Mrs Qiao's bankruptcy was replaced by another news, and this time, it became even more outrageous.

The headlines of every major newspaper were all about a photo shoot. Even though it was a mosaic, the photos were still very beautiful. Josephine was so focused on taking care of her mother that she didn't notice the news.

The reporters had better news to catch up with, so they stopped waiting outside the hospital. Seeing that most of the reporters had left, she left the hospital and went straight to her good friend Lin Ling's home.

She no longer had a place to stay. Her mother would not wake up for the time being, and the young nurse was very kind to her and was willing to help her take care of her mother. That was why she had the time to come out and find a place to stay for the rest of her life.

Lin Ling knew that her family was bankrupt and her mother was injured and hospitalized, so she couldn't help her. However, she could still provide a place to live.

Seeing her, Lin Ling hugged her and cried for a while.

She was very calm.

Perhaps the most painful and fearful moment was already past, so her mental endurance had improved a bit.

She smiled wryly as she comforted Lin Ling. When Lin Ling saw her pretending to be strong, she felt even worse. It was a pity that she lost so much weight and became so haggard.

Lin Ling tried all sorts of tricks to make Joy Mu delicious food and tried her best to make her happy. Joy Mu's mood improved a lot, so she braced herself and said that she had to go back to work.

Lin Ling naturally agreed. The two of them got up early, prepared breakfast, and ate together. Lin Ling had the habit of reading the newspapers. However, she hadn't been in the mood to read them for the past two days, so she had saved up all of them in the past three days.

She read the newspaper as she ate her breakfast. When she saw the incident with the photo door, she was so shocked that she almost choked.

"Mu Mu, this female lead of the portraits of beauty, why …" Why does it look so much like you! "

When Josephine heard this, she was also surprised for a moment, but she did not believe it.

Lin Ling then pressed the newspaper into her hand. She took a newspaper and started flipping through it. This time, her eyes widened. After reading it a few more times, she was no longer in doubt. The female lead in the newspaper, that was her, had her face hidden from view, but the photo was still extremely beautiful. This was the scene she had seen in the hotel that day.

Who did this?

Was it the azure moon again?

She thought for a moment and felt that it was impossible. On that day, Zhanyue Yue had wanted to send someone to take her to room 1809 to let those hedonistic young masters spoil her, but she was instead sent to room 1806.

Then, was it because of the hotel staff?

It seemed unlikely, because there were only her fancy pictures in the papers, and no man's, and the hotel wouldn't destroy its own signboard.

and so on... There was no male lead, only her!

It was that man. Yes, it was the CEO of the Jin family. He must have done it. Otherwise, why didn't the photo include him?

But why would he do that?

Was it because she had humiliated him with a cheque, insulted him, and hurt his dignity?

He was fine with being angry, but was there a need to vent his anger on her this way?

Damn you, damn you.

These three days, the daily photos were still different from before. The truth became more and more explosive every day. In the end, the news even said that if the female lead did not come out soon, the next few days would be filled with even more explosive photos of the female lead.

She was both angry and resentful. She immediately tore the newspaper into shreds.

"Mu Mu, what's going on?" Lin Ling asked nervously.

"He was bitten by a dog, and was even sold by a dog!"

Lin Ling was confused by his words, but she was not stupid. Soon, she figured out what was going on.

"Then... What should I do then, according to the newspaper, that man must have your... "What photo? You'll be recognized when the time comes …" After Lin Ling analyzed this, she was scared out of her wits. "What do we do …"

"I'll get even with that dog!" After leaving those words in a huff, Josephine strode out of the room.

"Hey, Mu Mu, Mu Mu …"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Hurry up and go to work." Since she didn't want Lin Ling to catch up, she instructed again.

Just as she wanted to go in and find that stinky man, Keke didn't want to cause any more trouble. The news of Qiao's bankruptcy was only a few days away, and many people would probably recognize her. At that time, before she could even see that stinky man, she would be surrounded by a crowd of busybodies.

The company's boss was usually on the top floor and always went in and out using his own elevator. Wanting to go up and find him directly was impossible, but passing a message through the front desk was already a risk of being recognized. Even if she wasn't recognized, the front desk would have a hard time preventing her from going in to look for him.

Then what should he do?

After some thought, Joss decided to wait in the parking lot of the Jinshi Group.

That stinky man had to take a car when he was travelling, right? Even if he didn't go out to meet a client or had other business to attend to, he still had to come over to pick up his car and leave after work.

After making up her mind, she found an inconspicuous place to wait.

She waited until six in the afternoon. In order to get better than that stinking man, she hadn't eaten lunch and was starving.

Smelly fellow, wait for me to wait for you, I will definitely skin you and rip out your tendons.

Finally, she arrived.

The man brought a bunch of subordinates to the parking lot. He still had a handsome and elegant look of a business elite, making him stand out among the crowd.

The distance was too far, so she couldn't see his face clearly. She could only vaguely feel the sharp outline of his face, the fierce confidence, and the disdainful eyes that looked down at everything.

It was as if he was born to stand above everyone else.

There were only four words in Josephine's mind to evaluate him at the moment: "A man is a dog!"

The men got into their cars and the stinking man got in too, and Josephine knew it was time to find him. It would be too late if she didn't.

She stormed toward the Maserati, which was coming toward her.

Before Josephine could knock on the door and shout, the window was rolled down and the car was heard, revealing the handsome face of a stinking man.

"Get in!" Jin Yuan smiled, as if he wasn't surprised that she had come looking for him.

Looking at him from Josephine's point of view, his face was not as sharp as before, but filled with the perseverance and sexiness of a mature man. The corners of his mouth were slightly bent, and his eyes seemed to be filled with stars as he narrated his good mood.

This stinking man, why was he so handsome when he had nothing to do with it? She didn't even have time to get angry.

"Little wild cat, hurry up and get in the car. Are you not looking for me?" Jin Yuan looked at the little wild cat in front of him, wanting to fight to the death with him. But he was so handsome and had no place to vent his anger on. Jin Yuan felt great inside and wanted to tease her.

"Get in the car, hmph!" Could it be that she was afraid of him?

Jin Yuan opened the car door, wanting to give her a seat. However, Josephine had already gone around to the other side. She abruptly opened the door and sat inside.

Even before Jin Yuan could move back, Jothamu had already sat down abruptly. As a result, the distance between the two of them had been reduced to a negative number.

"Hehe, little wild cat, why are you so anxious to throw yourself into my arms?"

Josemu quickly moved to the side, as far as she could get from this man who looked like a dog, but she was too quick and hit her head with it.
