Since she was going to die anyway, she said indifferently, “Of course I’ll do it. I’ll give you money later. You don’t have to follow me anymore. After you get the money, go home and find a proper job. Don’t do this anymore.”

“But, I’m an orphan. I don’t have a home.” Gu Mingcheng lowered his head to hide the expression in his eyes and said like a pitiful child.

Ye Zhiqing’s eyes flashed with a trace of pity as she instantly imagined all kinds of tragic experiences. She pulled his hand and said, “Then follow me. I will protect you well.”

Gu Mingcheng was stunned. He did not expect her to react so strongly to his lie.

After making her decision, Ye Zhiqing said straightforwardly, “My name is Ye Zhiqing. I used to be a surgeon, but now… I’ve been fired. However, you don’t have to worry about the one million yuan compensation from the hospital. I’ll buy you a house with this money. I still have quite a bit of savings over the years, enough to support you.”

When Ye Zhiqing mentioned this one million yuan, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes. The hospital was so generous. There must be something that she didn’t know about. It was probably related to her suspension.

She had always known that Tian Xin liked Zhou Wenting, but she didn’t expect her to be so shameless. She also didn’t expect Zhou Wenting to sleep with Tian Xin in order to be promoted.

With this in mind, she was even more satisfied with Gu Mingcheng. A man who relied on himself to live was the most reliable.

She kept her thoughts to herself and continued, “To tell you the truth, I have cancer. I don’t think I can live for long. Stay by my side for this period of time. When I die, all the money will be yours.”

Gu Mingcheng froze. “My name is Gu Chen.”

He only gave her a name, but Ye Zhiqing’s heart ached even more and she linked all kinds of tragic stories to him.

The phone rang.

When Ye Zhiqing saw the name displayed on the screen, her expression turned cold. In the end, she picked it up.

Gu Mingcheng watched as she walked out of the room to answer the call. The ID he had just seen was “Wenting”. She had called this name in her dream yesterday, and very intimately as well.

Ye Zhiqing hung up angrily. When she returned to her room, her expression was still very angry.

Gu Mingcheng asked, “What’s wrong?”

Ye Zhiqing took a deep breath. Having learned her lesson, she sized Gu Mingcheng up and said, “I’ll go out for a while. You can stay here for now.”

Before she left, she said to Gu Mingcheng with her back facing him, “Gu Chen, what I hate the most is being deceived. If you want to stay by my side, you’d better not lie to me. When I die, you can do whatever you want.”

She opened the door and walked out. She no longer held any hope for men. After all, even the seemingly good Zhou Wanting had betrayed her. The two of them had been dating since their school days and worked in the same hospital. Everyone envied her for having such a good boyfriend.

Even she felt that meeting Zhou Wenting was the greatest luck of her life.

Gu Mingcheng’s body stiffened. Did she hate lying the most?

However, it was only for a moment. He did not take it to heart. Staying here was just a temporary measure. He would leave after the incident in the capital was over.

Ye Zhiqing took a taxi to the hospital. Zhou Wenting had called her just now to ask her to make a trip to the hospital. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to get the one million yuan as compensation. It didn’t matter whether she wanted the one million yuan or not, but since she had promised Gu Chen, she’d better make a trip.

Zhou Wenting entered the hospital with her. Both of them had no prominent background, but they had always encouraged each other to make a name for themselves in the medical world.

Thinking about their past, Ye Zhiqing felt a little teary-eyed. She forced herself to calm down. She couldn’t show weakness. She definitely couldn’t let her enemies see her as a joke.

When she arrived at the hospital, she walked in with her head held high. She saw Zhou Wenting in the director’s office. He was sitting at his desk.

It turned out that he had climbed onto Tian Xin’s bed for this position. Ye Zhiqing sneered and said, “Congratulations, Director Zhou.”

When Zhou Wenting saw her, his expression turned awkward for a moment. After all, this position was originally hers, but he couldn’t stand it. They entered the hospital together, but he could only watch as she got promoted step by step. Her excellence made him panic a little. Now that their situation had changed, he felt a little more relaxed..
