Chapter 52: One Hundred Days of Broken Bones

Chapter 52

In the end, Shen Tang still had to be carried by professionals.

Before getting on the plane, she looked back and asked, "By the way, have those bad guys been caught?"

"They've been caught, don't worry," came the reply.

As long as they were caught, Shen Tang felt reassured about leaving.

Not long after, the helicopter landed on the roof of the hospital.

The delay en route wasn't long. Shen Tang's surgery went very well.

However, she was still forced by Gu Huaian to stay in the hospital for treatment.

What was even more annoying was that he didn't even let her play with her phone.

With no one to chat with in the private room, she could only watch TV. Shen Tang was bored to death. Updated chapters at novelhall.com

Coincidentally, she saw on the news a report about the incident, with a censored photo of herself.

It could be said that the mosaic was so thick that even her own mother wouldn't recognize her.

Oh, she almost forgot, she didn't have a mother.

Because of the heavy mosaic, one could only see a human-shaped blur, surrounded by mottled blood stains, which looked terrifying.

Next, Shen Tang heard the news praising her for single-handedly rescuing all the victims. She cocked her chin arrogantly.

Look, she had made it onto the national news now.

If those anti-fans knew about this, their jaws would definitely drop!

Unfortunately, to protect their privacy, they all used pseudonyms without revealing any real information.

She couldn't even brag about it.

Just as she was bored, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in!"

"How are you feeling today?"

"Why are you here again?"

Shen Tang was quite surprised. "You come three times a day. Don't you have work?"

If his company went bankrupt, who would give her money?

Gu Huaian's footsteps paused for a moment before he walked in as usual and put down the food box.

Sometimes, the things that came out of Shen Tang's mouth really could infuriate someone.

And yet he couldn't bring himself to say it out, feeling rather frustrated.

"I came to see how you're doing. Are you bored?"

Shen Tang nodded her head slightly like a chicken pecking at rice. "Um...my phone..."

"Your hand hasn't healed yet. You can't play with it for now."

"Oh..." The light in Shen Tang's eyes instantly died out. "Then why did you ask?"

Qi Yue clip-clopped in wearing high heels. Seeing Shen Tang wrapped up like a zongzi, she couldn't help bursting into laughter.

"Tangtang, how did you get injured like this?"

Shen Tang's tone was aggrieved. "I know, I'm injured like this and yet you're laughing..."

Qi Yue held back her smile and put on a grave expression. "Tangtang, what on earth happened?"

Next, Shen Tang began to recount her thrilling ordeal this time.

Qi Yue reacted very cooperatively, constantly providing emotional feedback, which Shen Tang enjoyed very much.

"Wow~ You're too amazing... But will your hand really be okay?"

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. I just need to rest well for a while."

"Can't be helped, for every broken bone it takes 100 days to heal."

As the two chatted, there was another knock at the door. The visitor was Shen Tang’s agent Pei Kesong.

She was holding a large fruit basket with just the right amount of concern on her face.

Shen Tang spoke first. "What are you doing here too?"

"You got injured and had surgery, and didn't even tell me. I heard it from someone else."

Shen Tang asked who she had heard it from, but Pei Kesong didn't say.

She sighed. "I got you a role, but now it looks like it'll have to be turned down."

Shen Tang was a little puzzled. "What role?"

"The third female lead in Director Zhou's movie. Not much screen time, but a particularly eye-catching part. So many people fought desperately to get it."

"You actually got it?!" Shen Tang was genuinely shocked.

She started wondering who her agent really was. After all, getting into Director Zhou's movies wasn't just about having money.

Pei Kesong rolled her eyes. "Yes I got it, but now that you're injured, you can't do it."

"What a pity, I guess it just wasn't meant to be." Shen Tang also felt it was a shame.

Her injury this time would probably delay many things. She'd be forced to rest for a while.

But if it happened again, she would still make the same choice.

Qi Yue, who had been playing the background wall the whole time, suddenly spoke up. "Are you from the Pei family?"

Pei Kesong nodded. "Ms. Qi, pleased to meet you. I'm a big fan."

"I really didn't expect you to become an agent."

Pei Kesong shrugged. "Just like how I didn't expect you to become a celebrity."

"I won't be for much longer."

"Huh?" Shen Tang nearly bounced off the bed. "What do you mean by that?"

Qi Yue grimaced, seemingly reluctant. "I made an agreement with my family earlier. We'd see if I could make it big in this industry without relying on them. Clearly I failed, so now I have to withdraw from the entertainment circle and return home as agreed."

Shen Tang wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth. "I also want to go home and inherit the family business. Wuwuwu..."

Where on earth were her mysterious rich parents? When would they finally come to take her home?!
