Beichen Tuo's expression changed as he quickly went forward to catch the unconscious Mei Keqing.

Only after hugging the person in his arms did Beichen Tuo realize what he had just done. He frowned subconsciously at his actions, but he did not throw the person in his arms down.

Beichen Tuo carried Mei Keqing and walked down while ordering, "Call the doctor over."

When Mei Keqing woke up, she found herself lying on the bed. After a moment of blankness, she remembered what happened before she fainted.

What about the pot of flowers? She hasn't shown it to Beichen Tuo yet!

Mei Keqing immediately sat up, but because of the darkness before her eyes, she fell back down.

At some point in time, Beichen Tuo appeared at the door. He leaned against the door casually and said with a cold expression, "Qi and blood are both lacking, you're too tired. You really can do anything for money."

Mei Keqing understood the sarcasm in Beichen Tuo's words. However, she didn't want to fail in front of Beichen Tuo: "I want to see the flower pot."

The flower already had a spore, and it was the critical moment. If she didn't look at him, an accident could happen at any time.

Beichen Tuo frowned. The corner of Xu Jiu's mouth curled up slightly as he ridiculed, "You don't even know how to measure your capabilities. Do you think that I will believe that you can do such a thing?"

Mei Keqing's heart turned cold. Was he denying her?

She immediately held onto the side of the bed, wanting to walk quickly towards Beichen Tuo, but she fell halfway. She raised her head and explained urgently: "I've already saved that flower, it already has a spore. I can make it grow new leaves right away, it's true!"

Beichen Tuo walked over expressionlessly. He stared at Mei Keqing with his black eyes and stopped one step away from her. He opened his mouth and said, "Today is already the fourth day."

The fourth day?

Mei Keqing abruptly turned her head to look out the window. The sun was setting, and she remembered that it was already night before she passed out.

In other words... She had been unconscious for a day and a night!

Therefore, was her past few days of suffering a wasted effort in the end?

"..."

The next day, when she went to the hospital, Mei Keqing put on makeup to cover her swollen eyes.

Mei Keqing didn't know how to face her mother without raising the medical expenses, so she was too distracted to notice the person in front of her.

Mei Keqing ran into the person in front of her and fell to the ground in a sorry state.

"Don't you have eyes? If you dirty my clothes, can you afford it? " Wei Yiqin pulled back her foot that had tripped Mei Keqing, and even patted the hem of her dress in mock disdain.

Mei Keqing didn't expect to meet Wei Yiqin at the hospital. She raised her head to glance at Wei Yiqin, got up and picked up the bag she threw away. She wasn't in the mood to compete with Wei Yiqin in wits and courage.

Seeing that Mei Keqing was ignoring her, Wei Yiqin walked up to her and blocked her way, feigning surprise. "Mei Keqing, it's just a meager one million yuan in medical fees. Don't tell me you haven't raised it yet?"

Wei Yiqin then took out a cheque from her bag proudly, "As long as you are willing to kneel down and beg me and kowtow three more times, this million is yours."

Mei Keqing stood to the side, ready to leave without even glancing at the cheque.

Having been targeted by Wei Yiqin for so many years, Mei Keqing boasted that she had some understanding of Wei Yiqin. Even if she did kneel to Wei Yiqin, she would only receive more humiliation.

When Mei Keqing and Wei Yiqin walked past each other, Wei Yiqin pulled on Mei Keqing's arm. An undetectable calculating look flashed across her eyes as she asked, "Are you sure you don't want to?"

Mei Keqing shook off Wei Yiqin's arm and coldly said, "No."

After saying so, Wei Yiqin immediately let go. Mei Keqing was curious as to why Wei Yiqin let her off so easily today when she heard Wei Yiqin's next words.

"Tuo, you heard it too. Mei Keqing has a backbone. She doesn't need our help."

Help? This kind of charity was considered a help? However, the thing that made Mei Keqing's heart ache the most was Wei Yiqin's words: We.

Mei Keqing's stiff body slowly turned around. As expected, she saw Beichen Tuo standing not far away. It was unknown how long he had been standing there.

Beichen Tuo's deep eyes were staring at Mei Keqing with a hidden sense of anger, "Forget about it." With that, he withdrew his gaze from Mei Keqing and left.

Mei Keqing's eyes were slowly filled with shame, anger, and grievance.

What does Beichen Tuo mean by this? Previously, he said that he was the one who passed the time, and now he was the one that accompanied Wei Yiqin to the hospital to deliberately give money to humiliate her. Could it be that he really likes Wei Yiqin that much, so he purposely created this opportunity for Wei Yiqin to trample on her self-esteem?

On the other side, Wei Yiqin proudly said, "Some people really don't know what's good for them. Mom is about to die yet they are still pretending to be noble. How laughable!" With that, she twisted her waist and followed Beichen Tuo. The playful expression on her face was almost a blur.

Every word that Wei Yiqin said was like stepping on Mei Keqing's sore spot. Mei Keqing's makeup couldn't even hide the paleness on her face. She forced herself to take a deep breath to calm her surging emotions, gritting her teeth as she chased after Mei Keqing.

Wei Yiqin was a hateful and sinister woman, but she did have a point.

She was already at the end of her road, what was she going to do if she hardened her bones? How much could this ridiculous self-esteem be worth?

Mei Keqing finally caught up with Beichen Tuo in the parking lot.

Mei Keqing was so anxious that she didn't care about being reserved. She wanted to grab Beichen Tuo's hand, but the inertia made her stick close to Beichen Tuo.

Wei Yiqin was so angry that her face contorted as she scolded in a high-pitched voice, "Mei Keqing, don't you care about your face!" As she spoke, she walked forward and pushed Mei Keqing away, then tightly held Beichen Tuo's arm to declare her sovereignty.

Mei Keqing found the scene in front of her extremely laughable. She was Beichen Tuo's legitimate wife, who was this shameless?

However, Beichen Tuo just let Wei Yiqin hug him. He looked at Mei Keqing with a cold gaze, as if he agreed to Wei Yiqin's words.

Wei Yiqin was even more presumptuous after Beichen Tuo agreed to it, "Mei Keqing, you said that you didn't want the one million yuan previously, but now you want to go back on your word?" She took out the check again and said, "You can have it, but I don't have to teach you how to do it."

Mei Keqing looked at Beichen Tuo when she heard what he said. Beichen Tuo's expression remained indifferent as if Wei Yiqin's request was completely normal.

Wei Yiqin naturally discovered that Mei Keqing asked for help from Beichen Tuo. She tightened her grip on the cheque and looked at Mei Keqing as if she was going to eat a human yaksha. She said hatefully, "If you delay any longer, I will change my mind. When that time comes, I will not kneel down anymore."

Mei Keqing gritted her teeth and took one last look at Beichen Tuo's cold face. Then, she closed her eyes, endured the humiliation, bent down, and knelt down.
