Film and Television World Life Record

Next, Fan Shengmei began to take remedial measures, mixing various essential oils to wash her hair and take a bath, curling her hair, trimming her nails, and doing all sorts of treatments until the small bathroom smelled wonderful.

The effect was excellent. After all the fuss, she was radiant, her beauty and energy restored to their peak. Fan Shengmei smiled charmingly, stood in her dressing mirror, and proudly twisted her body, admiring her stunning figure and youthful face before finally being satisfied.

Qiu Yingying got up at this moment, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and said groggily, "Sister Fan, what time did you get back last night? Why are you up so early?"

Fan Shengmei naturally wouldn't tell her about her parents: "Something came up last night, so I got home late. Xiao Qiu, how's work?"

When the topic of work came up, Qiu Yingying immediately perked up and said excitedly, "Sister Fan, the job you introduced me to is really great. I'm doing a fantastic job now, and my manager even praised me yesterday."

Fan Shengmei smiled and said, "That's good. Then keep up the good work and do your job well."

"I will, Sister Fan!" Qiu Yingying said happily.

Fan Shengmei tidied herself up. She was in good spirits in the morning, as if she had put yesterday's troubles behind her. She put on her trench coat, grabbed her bag, and knew that she hadn't taken a day off yesterday and would continue to work today.

With some free time, Fan Shengmei first went to that small hotel to visit her parents.

Upon arriving at the destination, Fan Shengmei left in a huff after only a few minutes. Aside from asking her for money and suggesting she borrow from friends, her parents didn't bring up any other topics.

They don't care how her work is going, or whether she's living well, or if she's having any problems!

"Sigh!" Fan Shengmei sighed, thinking of the parents of her fellow girls on the same floor. Compared to them, the difference was like heaven and earth, and her heart grew even colder.

She drove to the company and had only been working for a short while when her phone rang. She saw it was her brother, Fan Shengying, and hung up without saying a word.

It goes without saying that they're here to ask for money. She has no money to give, won't give it, and doesn't want such a thing to bother her.

However, as soon as she hung up, the other end called again. Fan Shengmei decided to go all the way and hung up and blocked the caller.

Just when she thought she could finally have some peace and quiet, her sister-in-law called again. Before the phone rang a second time, Fan Shengmei hung up and blocked it.

Now, I can finally have some peace and quiet.

Another half hour passed, and Fan Shengmei finished her work and made herself a cup of coffee. She had only slept for a few hours and needed coffee to perk her up.

Just then, her phone rang again, which was quite inconvenient. Fan Shengmei picked it up and looked at it; it was an unfamiliar number.

Thinking it was my brother calling from a different phone number, I hung up immediately. But less than two minutes later, he called back.

Seeing her brother's shamelessness, Fan Shengmei got angry. She answered the phone and shouted without regard for anything else, "I don't want to answer any of your calls anymore, I don't want to care about anything you do, and I don't have any money. If you change your number, I'll block it."

Just as I was about to hang up, a voice that was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar came from the other end.

"I'm sorry, Shengmei, I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have bothered you. I just heard that something happened to your family. I heard some news and wanted to tell you."

Wang Baichuan was filled with bitterness. After breaking up with his goddess some time ago, he realized he had offended her and wanted to call her to apologize, but he couldn't get through. He then realized that his goddess had blocked him.

For a time, I was heartbroken, sad, and a little self-conscious. In addition, the company moved to Shanghai, and many businesses needed to be reorganized, so I was quite busy. During this period, I refrained from contacting Fan Shengmei.

But he wasn't one to give up easily. His dream girl from college was now so outstanding and perfect in every way. How could he not be thinking about her and looking for opportunities everywhere?

As luck would have it, the opportunity came. He and Fan Shengmei were from the same hometown, and during this time he had been paying close attention to her news through classmates and friends.

He actually found it! Upon hearing the news of the Fan family's misfortune, he was overjoyed. His goddess had always worked in Shanghai and wasn't familiar with her hometown; wasn't this his chance to shine?

I made a point of inquiry over the past two days, and through a friend who works at a hospital, I got some very important information. He immediately called me.

However, the goddess immediately threw a tantrum and spoke so coldly that Wang Baichuan felt utterly disheartened.

Fan Shengmei recognized the voice on the other end as Wang Baichuan. He assumed the previous conversation was directed at him and decided not to explain. She had a very bad impression of him and felt that even if he was being insulted, it was best he stayed far away to avoid further harassment.

His voice was icy as he asked, "What is it?"

Wang Baichuan's heart sank even further; the goddess had indeed been referring to him.

However, she still mustered her spirits and said, "Shengmei, it's like this. I heard that something happened to your family, and I was worried that you would be taken advantage of. I asked a friend who works at a hospital, and it turns out that the family is not a good person; they are completely trying to extort you."

"The person's injuries weren't serious. They obtained false certificates through connections at the hospital, and many of the medications were also falsely prescribed and never used."

"They probably saw that your family is small and you don't have any connections back in your hometown, but you own two properties worth nearly a million. They just happened to offend you, and now they're taking advantage of this opportunity to extort money from you."

“I heard that the other party offered 100,000 yuan for a settlement. This should be the first step. After you agree, they will find other reasons to demand compensation and cause trouble again.”

“Ultimately, you’ll have to sell at least one house to compensate us. I think you should think this through.”

Fan Shengmei felt a chill run down her spine, a mixture of anger and fear. After a long pause, she finally said, "I understand! Thank you, old classmate."

Wang Baichuan was overjoyed; his hard work had paid off, and the goddess thanked him.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, it's my pleasure."

After hanging up the phone, Fan Shengmei slumped into a chair in the lounge. She had been dealing with too many troubles lately. She thought that she could settle things by paying 100,000 yuan according to the other party's terms, but she didn't expect that they were slowly boiling her like a frog in lukewarm water!

That evening, Fan Shengmei angrily brought up the matter, and Li Mu's heart stirred slightly; this was indeed an opportunity.

"Don't worry! They won't get away with this."

Fan Shengmei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Li Mu say that, knowing Li Mu's capabilities.

This group of people certainly doesn't act like a virtuous family, and Fan Shengying needs to be taught a lesson. Li Mu plans to use the Fan family's name to give them a harsh lesson, and then, taking advantage of their desire for revenge, to thoroughly punish Fan Shengying.

Let them fight like dogs; it kills two birds with one stone.

However, she couldn't tell Fan Shengmei her underlying intentions. She wasn't Deng Jiajia; she was too soft-hearted and wouldn't be able to bear seeing Fan Shengying suffer so much.

It's best not to know too much; on the surface, this matter won't have anything to do with Li Mu.

Chapter 160 Arrives as expected

A few more days passed, and despite her parents' attempts to dissuade her, Fan Shengmei still took two days off to spend time with them, exploring various parts of Shanghai.

However, what was supposed to happen was a few days late, but it still arrived as scheduled.

That day, Mr. Fan left the small hotel and went for a walk and a smoke nearby. Suddenly, he felt dizzy and fell to the ground. Fortunately, people were passing by and he was discovered in time, and an ambulance was called.

In the afternoon, Li Mu received a tearful phone call from Fan Shengmei.

Hearing the sobbing on the other end, Li Mu asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Fan Shengmei choked up and said, "Li Mu, my dad suddenly fainted and was taken to the hospital."

Li Mu asked, "How is the situation? Is there any danger?"

Fan Shengmei cried even harder.

"The doctor said the condition is very dangerous and requires surgery, which will cost a lot of money!"

Li Mu said, "Money is not a problem. Let the hospital prepare for the surgery."

"However, your dad needs to be saved, and your mom needs to be pressured too. There are some things you shouldn't have to bear alone."

“I’m coming over right now. When your mom asks, just say you’re on the phone trying to raise money with friends, but you haven’t raised it yet. This time I’ll play the bad guy and put your mom in a real tough spot, to see if she even cares about you or not.”

Fan Shengmei panicked a little: "Li Mu, I..."

Li Mu understood her personality: she was indecisive, soft-hearted, and prone to backing down when things came to a head.

"Okay, listen to me, do whatever I say."

Hearing Li Mu's unyielding tone, Fan Shengmei's personality kicked in, and she simply didn't have the courage to refuse. Knowing that Li Mu was thinking of her, she secretly hoped for his help.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

……

Twenty minutes later, Li Mu arrived at the hospital by car.

At this time, Fan Shengmei's mother was pressuring her to raise money for the surgery.

"Xiaomei, this is your dad! You've worked in Shanghai for so many years, how could you not be able to borrow money!"

"Mom, please, lend it to me! The one who helped you find someone at the train station the day before yesterday, the one who lent you his car, you can borrow them all. Don't be shy about it."

Fan Shengmei said with a bitter expression, "Mom, if it's a small amount, I can borrow it. But with such a large sum, people will hang up immediately when they hear it. Who can I borrow from?"

Fan's mother cried, "Xiaomei, you must have a way. You must find a way, no matter what. You must borrow the money. Your father is still alive, and the family still has a retirement pension. If he's gone, how will our family survive?"

Fan Shengmei said bitterly, "But I've already borrowed from all my friends, and they all know our family's situation. Who would dare to jump into this quagmire?"

Seeing her mother's face growing increasingly grim, Fan Shengmei quickly added, "Mom, the friend who helped me find someone at the train station last time heard about this and said he wants to come and take a look. I'll plead with him again later."

As if grasping at a lifeline, Fan's mother grabbed Fan Shengmei's hand and said, "Yes, yes... that young man is not bad. He helped you so much last time, he must have taken a liking to you. Xiaomei, you can definitely borrow money from him."

Fan Shengmei said, "Mom, he's got great qualities! Why would he like me?"

Fan's mother immediately retorted, "Why not? My Xiaomei is so beautiful, who wouldn't like her? He'll definitely like her."

Fan Shengmei sighed and said, "So what if she's pretty? So what if people like her? With this mess in our family, who would want to marry me!"

Mother Fan opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

Just then, Li Mu arrived, and Fan's mother's eyes lit up, and she immediately ran over.

"Young man, young man... you must be Xiaomei's friend, please, you must save this old man..."

Li Mu ignored her and turned to the doctor next to him, asking, "Doctor, how is the situation?"

The doctor glanced at him and explained, "The patient's condition is very dangerous; surgery is necessary as soon as possible."

Li Mu asked, "How is the post-operative condition? To what extent can you recover?"

The doctor said, "I can't guarantee that. After surgery, some people can last for a few months, while others can last for several years! It depends on the patient's recovery."

He then took out the results of the MRI and CT scans and showed them to Li Mu.

"Look at this bleeding point. The surgery can now control its further expansion. However, even if the surgery is successful, there's a very high chance of total paralysis, and you'll be bedridden for the rest of your life..."
