After saying that, he picked up his already packed luggage, sighed, and went out.

"Shoucheng, come back..." The only answer she received was the crisp sound of the door closing.

Chen Ruoxi sat on the floor, stunned, and began to sob. At that moment, she felt like the whole world had abandoned her.

There were curses and harsh words all around, so unfamiliar and frightening.

……

She sat there silently for a while until the moving company arrived. Chen Ruoxi, after all, was a seasoned woman with good mental fortitude. She composed herself; life had to go on even without Yang Shoucheng.

I packed all my things and moved them all to my new place in one trip.

After settling into her newly rented apartment and finally finding some peace of mind, she received a notification from the station: she had been fired and was asked to come over to complete her resignation procedures.

Although Chen Ruoxi was mentally prepared, she still couldn't accept it when the moment arrived. All her years of struggle and hard work had been in vain, and she had been reduced to her original state.

Chen Ruoxi didn't call back to question her; she knew the matter was beyond repair.

The station has many legitimate reasons to fire her, such as the Ye Lanqiu incident and the still unresolved 200,000 yuan kickback incident, which are all good reasons.

Now that her reputation is ruined and she's become a notorious villain known throughout the internet, the station certainly won't leave her, this troublesome woman, in their sights.

Chen Ruoxi closed her eyes and lay on the bed. She had lost her boyfriend and her job, but at least she still had this little haven where no one knew and no one would disturb her.

It allows her to lick her wounds and shelter her from the wind and rain.

……

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. She had asked a friend to help her rent this place, and no one knew who would be knocking.

Chen Ruoxi lay there, too lazy to move.

Just then, a voice called out from outside the door: "I'm the landlord. Open the door, let's add each other on WeChat and communicate directly through WeChat in the future."

Upon hearing that it was the landlord, Chen Ruoxi hesitated for a moment before going to open the door.

The moment the door opened, the landlord's eyes widened in shock. "You're Chen Ruoxi?"

Even though she knew she would be recognized, especially by the landlord, Chen Ruoxi still felt a chill in her heart.

The landlord peeked into the room: "What are you doing here? Where's Xiao Liu? Isn't this the house she rented?"

Chen Ruoxi was unable to answer.

The landlord, being knowledgeable and worldly-wise, suddenly realized, "So it's not Xiao Liu living here; she's renting a place for you!"

"But sister, I can't rent my house to you. You should leave."

Chen Ruoxi was dumbfounded.

"why?"

The landlord gave her a disgusted look, but calmly explained, "Didn't you see the posts on the internet? So many people want to find you in real life, to find your place in real life."

"If you were to live in my house, and netizens found out, wouldn't it be ruined?"

Chen Ruoxi quickly explained, "Landlord, no, no one knows I live here. I guarantee no one will bother me."

The landlord scoffed, "Sister, nothing stays hidden forever. You think living here is private, but that's just your opinion. How do you know other people won't find it? What will happen to my house if they do?"

"Alright, you just moved in today, so I won't make things difficult for you. I'll give you two days to move out. Let's not make things difficult for each other."

Chen Ruoxi looked at the landlord's resolute expression, which also carried a hint of disgust. She was very angry, but it was no use. She gave a bitter smile and said, "Fine, I will definitely move out within two days."

After seeing the landlord off, Chen Ruoxi's face became even more bitter. She never imagined that she would not even be able to find a place to stay.

She knew that she probably wouldn't be able to rent a place in the city, and no landlord would rent to her.

She lost her boyfriend and her job, and she had nothing left to miss about this city. Perhaps it wouldn't be bad to start over by working and living somewhere else.

The next day, Chen Ruoxi disguised herself and went to the TV station to complete her resignation handover procedures.

Few people spoke to her, and even the leaders made excuses not to see her. Everyone looked at her strangely, with some disgust and others gloating.

Chen Ruoxi was very angry and annoyed, but what was the use? She could only comfort herself and not lower herself to the level of these petty people.

Just before leaving the office, a trusted former team member suddenly ran over.

"Sister Xi, why didn't you reply to my WeChat message? There's a video going viral online right now, you should take a look!" She said, her expression quite strange.

Chen Ruoxi hadn't dared to go online or even use the internet for the past two days, as she was unfamiliar with what was happening online. Seeing her trusted team members come out to see her off brought her some comfort.

He nodded: "Okay, I understand. I'll check it when I get back."

Back at her lodgings, Chen Ruoxi remembered what her group members had said. She opened WeChat, and there was a link at the bottom. Clicking on it led to a video.

Chen Ruoxi glanced at it, her mind went blank, and her gaze went dazed.

This is a short video she filmed with Yang Shoucheng. How could something so private be uploaded online? How could this happen?

In particular, Yang Shoucheng's face was blurred out, but she was completely naked and exposed to everyone's eyes.

Chen Ruoxi took out her phone and frantically dialed Yang Shoucheng's number, but unfortunately, it was already switched off.

She could only sit there silently, licking her wounds and shedding silent tears. Now, she had no choice but to leave, to find a place where no one knew her, and start anew.

In such a large city, there is no place for her to stay.

Chapter 268 Despair and Miracle

In a suburban mountain resort villa, Ye Lanqiu had been in a good mood ever since Chen Jiaqi's video was released, which completely cleared her of the gossip.

Every day, I would go on outings, ride horses, row boats, and play with Li Mu... It felt like I was making up for a lifetime.

However, when the hospital revealed to the media that she had advanced cancer, Ye Lanqiu felt uneasy.

She had been keeping this from Li Mu, undecided whether to tell him or not, but the hospital had already revealed it.

Then she could no longer bow her head and pretend to be an ostrich, maintaining this moment of tenderness, the last brilliance of her life.

Only honesty.

Just then, Li Mu returned from outside, and Ye Lanqiu rushed over and hugged him, her eyes red.

"Li Mu, I..."

Holding her soft waist, Li Mu said gently, "Don't say anything, I know everything."

"Don't worry, it's not like there's no cure. I'm here with you!"

Ye Lanqiu raised her head, her face streaked with tears, and said, "Thank you for staying with me, but I know this is a terminal illness, there's no cure."

Li Mu looked directly at her and said, "Who said that? If I say there's a cure, then there is. You have to believe in miracles."

Ye Lanqiu smiled with relief: "With you by my side, I am content to have met you at the end of my life. This is God's compensation to me, and I have no regrets even if I die."

Li Mu gently patted her buttocks: "Don't talk nonsense. We've only just begun. There's a long time ahead of us! This isn't the end of your life; it's the beginning of your wonderful life."

"Believe in miracles, believe in the power of the heart, and maintain a positive attitude. Humans are the most amazing and mysterious creatures in the world. As long as you are full of hope, terminal illness is not scary and you will get better."

"Haven't you heard of patients who were diagnosed with very serious, incurable diseases in the hospital? But by eating and drinking as usual, maintaining a good attitude and hope for life, their condition gradually improved or even improved. There are countless examples like this."

"So, you're not allowed to say such discouraging things anymore, and you're not allowed to be so pessimistic."

Ye Lanqiu nodded vigorously: "Yes! I'll listen to you." As she spoke, she buried her head in his chest, and tears streamed down her face again.

Li Mu hugged her tenderly, sat down on the sofa, and felt a pang of heartache looking at her pale face.

Holding her quietly like that, Ye Lanqiu, perhaps tired, or perhaps with a suppressed heart, finally breathed a sigh of relief and soon fell into a sweet sleep.

Li Mu held her in his arms and gently kissed her, his tenderness growing stronger.

He certainly wouldn't watch Ye Lanqiu suffer from illness until she passed away.

Regarding Ye Lanqiu's situation, he currently has two solutions: one is to take advantage of the different time flow rates in the film and television world and the real world.

The world he currently inhabits has, because of his involvement, formed a new timeline, an independent timeline.

In the future, after he leaves, the flow of time in this timeline will become extremely slow. Perhaps one or two days in this world will be equivalent to one or two decades in the real world.

He would use this characteristic to maintain Ye Lanqiu's condition. Once back in the real world, he would have enough energy and time to enter more worlds and search for a cure for Ye Lanqiu.

After finding it, return to this world, resume this timeline, and cure Ye Lanqiu's illness.

Of course, there is an even simpler and more direct method: contact the system directly, but it's uncertain whether the system will respond.

But you won't know until you try.

Perhaps reality is always full of surprises and miracles.

System: The task has been detected as completed. You can withdraw the task reward in advance as needed.

The next moment, a screen flashed before my eyes, and a crystal-clear pill appeared, displaying a line of large words: Cancer Treatment Drug.

Should I collect it in advance?

Li Mu was overjoyed. He thought to himself, "What I've been thinking about will surely come to pass. The system is generous and manly enough."

Choose to claim immediately.

The next moment, a crystal-clear pill appeared in his hand, about the size of a peanut, with a fruity fragrance.

Is it fruit-flavored?

After reviewing the system's description, I learned that this cancer treatment can cure all cancers on the market, regardless of whether they are in the middle or late stages. However, it's not as miraculous as I imagined; it won't cure the disease instantly.
