The streamer is incredibly popular, and the top spender on her is vying to pamper her.

Chapter 389 Contact

Seeing the silence on the other end, Jiang Zhouzhou was about to speak.

The other person's voice rang out again: "Are you here to insult me?"

"But I do deserve to be scolded."

"I'm sorry about the refund, Pidan."

He didn't defend himself. It would be fine if it were an ordinary fan requesting a refund, but he was the administrator of the live stream. Refunding someone without saying a word and then blocking them would make anyone angry.

Jiang Zhouzhou sensed that he wasn't in a good mood and asked, "I didn't mean to scold you, I was just a little worried about you. Have you run into some trouble?"

She spoke softly, trying her best to make her voice sound calm.

The other side fell silent again.

Qi Yuan stood there, holding his phone, stunned.

Several days of sleepless nights left him with a stubble beard and bloodshot eyes.

His relatives and friends avoided him like the plague, but unexpectedly, the person who was most distant from him was the one who was worried about him.

His hoarse voice betrayed a barely perceptible sob: "Yes, something's happened at home, and we need some money to tide us over."

The background noise was a bit loud, but Jiang Zhouzhou could still faintly hear the hospital calling numbers.

Suddenly I understood what had happened.

Jiang Zhouzhou asked softly, "Is someone sick?"

Qi Yuan opened his mouth, but the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.

The girl's soft voice murmured, "You probably don't have enough money! Otherwise you wouldn't have asked for a refund. I'll transfer some more to you. Since you're sick, just focus on getting better and don't worry about the money."

"Also, unblock me from the blacklist, and unblock Xiaomizhou too. You blocked him, and he's furious, yelling that he'll find you and beat you up."

Qi Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard her words: "Aren't you afraid that I'm a scammer? Once you transfer the money, I'll block you again."

The talkative little chatterbox immediately shut up.

After a few seconds of silence, she said, "I believe you."

“You definitely wouldn’t apply for a refund unless it was absolutely necessary, and since we can’t contact you, my fans and I are very worried about you.”

"No matter what difficulties you encounter, running away is not the solution. I hope you can talk to me and treat me as your friend."

Qi Yuan stood outside the operating room, where two families were waiting with him.

A short while later, the operating room door opened, and a nurse came out carrying a newborn baby, saying, "Mother and child are safe."

The mothers and grandmothers who had been gathered around all rushed over, their joy overflowing.

Some were happy while others were sad; in another family, the atmosphere was deathly still, and everyone's expression was heavy.

The operating room door opened again, the doctor shook his head at them, and a muffled sob immediately echoed down the corridor.

The arrival of life and the passing of life unfold simultaneously in this small corridor.

Qi Yuan walked to the window, and the cold wind blew through the cracks in the window onto his face, drying his tear stains.

"It's not me who's sick, it's my mom."

If he were the one who got sick, he would never return the money, even if you beat him to death.

But it concerns my mother's life...

“I think I’m terrible. They only have me as their son. From childhood to adulthood, they’ve always saved the best things for me, never eating or drinking anything good for themselves.”

After suppressing my feelings for several days, I finally found an outlet.

He desperately wanted to confide in someone.

"I was clearly an only child, and I should have understood the responsibilities I had to bear much earlier, but I was too willful and reckless."

“I’ve been working away from home for seven or eight years and I don’t have a single penny of savings. I only think about indulging in pleasure. I only call home occasionally when I think of them and transfer some money to them, but I’ve never cared about their health.”

Naively believing that birth, aging, sickness, and death were far removed from their lives, they never imagined that life could be so cruel.

When he received a call from his parents as usual, he thought it would be another nagging from the elderly couple, but what he got was like a bolt from the blue.

"Yuan, your mother doesn't have many days left. Can you go home and spend some of her last moments with her?"

Afraid of causing trouble for their children, even their tone of voice was cautious.

Qi Yuan thought he was hallucinating: "Dad, repeat it again, I didn't hear you clearly just now."

I bought a ticket overnight and returned home, only to find out that my mother had colon cancer.

Looking at his mother's gaunt face, Qi Yuan asked, "Why didn't you take Mom to the hospital? It's only in the middle stage; she can definitely be cured."

The father, puffing on a crumpled cigarette, said, "She was treated for a while, but your mother refused and insisted on being discharged."

The mother, who was in her fifties, looked more than ten years older. When she saw her son return, her face became a little rosier. She said with a smile, "Cancer is incurable. Those hospitals are just trying to rip off us ordinary people. You're not married yet. If people knew that all the money in the house was used to treat this old woman, no girl would want to marry you."

Qi Yuan then learned that the elderly couple took the bus home from the hospital to save money.

What were they thinking during that bumpy 20-kilometer mountain road?

Relatives felt it was a bottomless pit and were unwilling to lend money, while friends also made various excuses.

Finally... he made the decision he least wanted to make.

Jiang Zhouzhou listened quietly to his story. The sound from the phone gradually faded until faint sobs could be heard.

She said calmly, "It may be a bit inappropriate to say this, but I suddenly feel very lucky to be able to help you when I have the ability."

“I know you must have been struggling emotionally when you applied for a refund and blocked me, but no one will blame you, and you don’t need to blame yourself.”

"Since you're doing this because of your mother's illness, then for her sake... please agree to let me help you!"

"After all, she's the most important, isn't she?"

Her gentle voice was like a warm sun, even warming the cold wind outside the window.

Qi Yuan finally nodded: "Okay."

"Thank you, Pidan."

There was one more thing he didn't say because it was too emotional.

I'm very lucky to have met you.
