Chapter 12 Indeed, reputation is all built up...

[What kind of man can save his mother? See that lottery center? Buy tickets according to these numbers, and you'll win a 100 million jackpot!]

One hundred million is obviously an exaggeration, after all, the highest prize in this round is ten million.

But for Lin Beibei, ten million was an immeasurable amount of money.

After leaving the lottery shop, she carefully put the lottery ticket away and told Sister Bei that the draw would be held tonight, and after the draw, she could go to claim the prize with her ID card and the lottery ticket.

After receiving the money, she no longer needed to beg for money from others; she could use the money to treat her mother's illness on her own.

But when Lin Beibei looked up and saw Gu Tingyun sitting in the car, her smile faltered.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Beibei walked over and bowed to Gu Tingyun. "Thank you, Mr. Gu. I've already come up with a solution. As for what you mentioned, I won't consider it. You have a fiancée, so it's best not to do something so immoral. It's not fair to your fiancée either. If you fall for someone else, you should at least tell your fiancée first."

Gu Tingyun ignored Lin Beibei's advice and looked at her with a mocking expression. "So your solution is to buy lottery tickets? How much did you win? That gives you the confidence to say something like that?"

[I won 10,000, nothing else matters]

Lin Beibei frankly admitted, "Ten thousand yuan."

Gu Tingyun seemed to have heard a joke, "Ten thousand? With the medicine your mother is taking now, do you think ten thousand yuan can last for a few days?"

Lin Beibei bit her lip, "I can keep buying lottery tickets. There are big prizes in the lottery. This 10,000 yuan was originally my reward. I don't believe I can't win the big prize."

Her innocent yet stubborn appearance amused Gu Tingyun.

He looked at Lin Beibei, his expression turning cold again. "When you come begging to me again, it won't be so easy."

Watching the car drive away, Lin Beibei immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiang Bei looked at System 9639, who was trembling beside her, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's all over, it's all over. If the main system finds out, I'll be punished."

"What punishment?"

"I'll get an electric shock," System 9639 said fearfully.

Xiang Bei comforted it, "It's okay, I'm a system now too. With me sharing the punishment with you, do you feel a little better?"

System 9639 was even more distraught. "No way! I've already reported your situation to the main system. This is the first time they've encountered this situation, and we have regulations that require us to ensure the safety of the host. So, in the end, this punishment will only fall on me."

Xiang Bei couldn't help but laugh, "Really?"

"You seem quite pleased to hear that I will be punished?"

Xiang Bei coughed. "No, I'm sorry to know that I can't share your pain."

System 9639 didn't want to pay attention to her. If the host could lower his lips and speak, he believed that her persuasiveness would be stronger.

It curled up in the corner, feeling a little apprehensive, unsure when the main system's punishment would come.

Looking at lottery winning numbers in violation of regulations could result in being electrocuted.

This is the first time the system has performed a task, and such a big mistake has occurred. The old system said that electric shock is a very scary thing.

Lin Beibei, who had just won the lottery, didn't dare to linger and ran all the way to a safe place.

There's a fire station nearby, so she can shout for help if anything happens.

She found a place to sit down. "Sister Xiang Bei, I'm so happy you're back!"

Xiang Bei then realized that for Lin Beibei, she had been gone for a month.

A lot has happened this month.

Knowing she had a job, her stepfather went to the coffee shop and caused trouble, ruining all her part-time jobs, leaving her with no money to pay her mother's hospital bills.

My mother's condition has worsened again, and she suffers a lot every time she has an attack.

She could never bring herself to talk about divorce, afraid of upsetting her mother, and always thought she would wait until her mother's health improved before bringing it up.

But since Sister Xiang Bei disappeared, her life has become even more chaotic, and there is no one to listen to her.

She recently received her graduation certificate, but she is facing setbacks in her job search.

Either her stepfather caused trouble, or the other party refused to accept her.

Last time, her stepfather gave her to that group of people to pay off his debts, and it was Gu Tingyun who saved him and even had his bodyguard break her stepfather's leg.

It was clear that with Gu Tingyun not by her side, her stepfather held a grudge against her for the broken leg and used various excuses to ask her for money.

She was driven to the brink of despair and remembered the business card Gu Tingyun had given her that day.

He said that she could contact him if she needed anything, and although he would set conditions, all her problems could be solved.

Today, her stepfather ruined her job again. The hospital called her and said that if she didn't pay the fees, they couldn't continue her mother's treatment.

She finally mustered up the courage to call Gu Tingyun.

He's here.

He also stated his conditions: to be his mistress.

Lin Beibei knew that Gu Tingyun had a fiancée.

It was Ning Yuxuan who told her.

She also knew that being a mistress to a man who had a fiancée was a very immoral thing to do.

Even if she was slow to realize it, she knew how Gu Tingyun felt about her.

However, after several encounters, she kept her distance from Gu Tingyun. After all, Gu Tingyun was a really good person, so why would he stand by and watch his friend bully her?

Whatever the reason, she couldn't find Gu Tingyun.

In her despair, Gu Tingyun's image kept appearing in her mind.

It seems that the only person in the world who can help her is Gu Tingyun.

Fortunately, Sister Xiang Bei appeared in time, otherwise she really would have agreed to Gu Tingyun's request.

For a fleeting moment, she actually felt that Gu Tingyun was her salvation.

It's ridiculous. How could he be his own salvation?

He is certainly not your salvation. Without him, you'll find there's no storm brewing above you. All your storms were brought on by that scumbag; what awaits you is a clear sky.

While it can't be said that all of Lin Beibei's suffering was caused by Gu Tingyun, it's undeniable that he played a significant role in it.

Thinking of this, Xiang Bei looked at the system again, "If the plot is reversible, then is Lin Beibei's mother's illness also reversible?"

Xiang Bei is not a doctor and does not know what illness Lin Beibei's mother has, but according to the plot, if she had not committed suicide to give Lin Beibei a chance to escape Gu Tingyun, she would not have died.

It's a disease that won't kill you but is very torturous, and she doesn't even know what it is.

But let's look at it from another angle.

【Beibei, take your mother to another hospital for a checkup】

Lin Beibei didn't quite understand, but she still did as Xiang Bei said.

Following Xiang Bei's instructions, she immediately completed the discharge procedures for her mother and then took her to several hospitals for examinations.

Several hospitals couldn't find anything wrong, but my mother's haggard appearance certainly didn't look like a healthy person.

They advised Lin Beibei to arrange for her mother to be hospitalized for observation.

Only a well-known public hospital in the city examined Lin's mother's scans repeatedly and concluded, "This is a tumor."

"Is it serious?" Lin Beibei asked.

"It depends on whether it's benign or malignant."

The doctor looked through Lin's mother's medical records and found it strange. "Didn't the previous hospital check whether the tumor was benign?"

Lin Beibei shook her head, still somewhat uncertain, "Are you sure it's a tumor?"

"Of course."

The doctor pointed to a dark shadow on the scan and said, "This is a tumor. Your case is too strange; it's completely irregular."

The doctor was shocked to learn that the hospital where Lin's mother had previously stayed was a private hospital.

"Gu's Hospital has a very good reputation, how come they couldn't even detect a tumor?"

The doctor felt very fortunate when he thought back to when he applied for a job at Gu's Hospital and was rejected.

Indeed, reputation is all created.

Lin's mother was admitted to a public hospital. After a series of examinations, it was determined that the tumor was benign and only required surgical removal. The 10,000 yuan prize money that Lin Beibei won was enough to cover the cost.

"Doctor, is what you're saying true? But why was my mother in so much pain before?"

“The tumor will grow bigger and compress her nerves, so of course she will be in pain. Although the medicine she took before was effective, it only slowed down the growth rate of the tumor. Every time the tumor grows a little, it will compress your mother's nerves, and she will naturally be in pain.”

"Then please arrange the surgery as soon as possible."

The doctor nodded.

After saying goodbye, Lin Beibei leaned against the wall and collapsed to the ground.

"That's great! Sister Xiang Bei, did you hear that? My mother is saved!"

[I heard you, congratulations, Beibei.]

Lin Beibei nodded vigorously.

Xiang Bei breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed her guess was correct.

In the story, the hospital where Lin's mother stayed was the home of the male lead, Gu Tingyun. The doctors there acted like they had lost their minds, digging out hearts, livers, and kidneys without any attempt to conceal it.

They would do anything the male protagonist gave an order, showing absolutely no regard for the law.

She didn't comment on the medical skills, since the second female lead was perfectly healthy and yet she was able to remove the female lead's kidney. Xiang Bei felt that no matter what, it was best to stay away from that hospital for now.

This result is already very good for her.

While Lin's mother was undergoing surgery, Xiang Bei reminded Lin Beibei to check the lottery results.

When Lin Beibei saw the winning numbers, she burst into tears of joy.

With ten million, she and her mother will have hope for the future.

Don't get excited yet. Quietly claim the prize. After your mother gets divorced, tell her about the money and take her to live somewhere where no one knows you. Don't be afraid, I'm here.

Lin Beibei nodded vigorously, taking Xiang Bei's words to heart.

After her mother finished her surgery, she bought a wig and wore several layers of clothing to make herself look very bulky.

Then she wore her stepfather's clothes on the outside; these clothes were a very common style and not particularly outstanding.

She put on heavy makeup and a mask before going to receive the award.

Lin Beibei also donated 200,000 yuan.

With money, she can also help others.

I won ten million, but what I received was the amount after taxes were paid.

Even so, it would be enough to support her and her mother's future life.

Holding the bank card, Lin Beibei was overwhelmed with excitement.

Fortunately, there was Sister Xiang Bei.

She cooked different delicious meals for her mother every day, and her mother's condition visibly improved.

"Beibei, where did you get the money to buy these things?"

"Didn't I tell you? I won ten thousand yuan. Mom, God is so good to me. Luckily I won the lottery, otherwise I don't know what would have happened to your surgery."

The other patients in the ward were initially quite envious when they heard that Lin Beibei had won 10,000 yuan, but when they heard that she had used the money to pay for her mother's medical expenses, they thought she was lucky.

The aunt next to her exclaimed, "Young lady, you are truly blessed."

Lin's mother simply smiled and patted her daughter's hair.

She knew in her heart how much suffering her daughter had endured because of her illness.
