These past few days have spent all her savings. Ji Niandong swallowed a breath, "Please give me the medicine bill, I'll go pay it."
The assistant doctor pointed at a few bills on the bedside table, "At eight in the afternoon, the billing doctor who works overtime will also get off work, so it's best for you to pay them early."
He left without staying a moment longer, and Ji Niandong went over to check the bills, bit her lip, and pulled out her phone to dial a number.
She didn't know how long she had been calling when suddenly Linda's sharp and impatient voice came from the other end, "Ji Niandong, wasn't it made clear yesterday? Do you insist on pestering us? Do I need to consider changing Ah Jun's phone number?"
Ji Niandong's heart skipped a beat, disregarding her sarcasm, and simply asked, "Let me say two words to him, just two!"
"He's in an audition, there's nothing to say to you. You know his personality; do you want to annoy him by being persistent?"
"I'm not being persistent, I'm just..."
"If you're not being persistent, then hang up. We're very busy!"
The phone beeped and was hung up. They're busy, and she's just a nuisance who only knows how to pester others?
Calling again, the phone was already shut down.
Ji Niandong took a deep breath and dialed another number, her voice calm and unchanged, "Lingling, do you know your brother's schedule today? I had something to do last night and couldn't find him."
"Didn't you look for my brother yesterday? He came home very late last night, I thought he had already talked to you."
Ji Niandong was silent for a moment, not answering.
On the other side of the phone, Shen Congling angrily cursed, "My brother is really something! Uncle Ji used to take care of us siblings so well. If he knew money was needed for the surgery, my brother couldn't possibly ignore it. But now, before I even opened my mouth, that damned woman Linda wouldn't let me mention you in front of my brother. My brother is completely led by the nose by this woman now."
Shen Congling's voice grew quieter, and after finishing, she felt she shouldn't have said it and hurriedly added, "By the way, I heard Linda saying yesterday that they're going to YT International Entertainment today, to attend the movie 'Choked Love' audition. After that, there will be a celebration at YT International Hotel. Sister Tongtong, do you want me to go with you? I can help you deal with Linda and let you talk to my brother alone!"
"No need, you're still having classes today!"
There's nothing much to talk about between her and Shen Congjun, just a matter of money!
...
In the afternoon, at YT International Hotel.
The splendid hall was filled with clinking glasses and the soft melodies of a cello slowly filled the air.
Ji Niandong took a deep breath, pushed the dining cart into the hall where a screen in the center was playing clips of the male and female leads from the movie 'Choked Love.'
The first major work upon the return of the first sexy goddess Qiao Anlu to the big screen was alongside the hottest rising star Lin Ji Yang.
'Choked Love' is again adapted from a web novel of the same name which has been most popular in recent years, with a strong IP. Once filming was announced, it became the hottest topic of the moment.
Some netizens edited roles played by An Qiao Anlu and Lin Ji Yang in other dramas seamlessly together and posted it on the web platform, with over a billion views. YT International directly bought it as a movie promotion.
Shen Congjun only drew attention recently from starring in a web drama and now could act in such a major production and team for a movie at YT International as the third male lead.
Seems like from that web drama, he earned quite a bit!
Ji Niandong glanced around the surroundings and immediately spotted Shen Congjun standing in a corner not far away, politely toasting others.
