"The old man said that Lisa has been in China for some time, but she refuses to go back. He couldn't do anything about it, so he asked me to come and take her back."
As the woman spoke, she picked up the water glass from the bedside table, walked to the water dispenser, filled a glass with water, and then touched Gu Jueye's forehead with her slender hand.
A chill suddenly ran through my palm.
The woman chuckled and teased, "It only flares up once a year, more punctual than a woman's period."
Gu Jueye's face was pale, and he braced himself on the bed with his hands, struggling to maintain his confused consciousness so that he could ride his mount.
The woman sat down on the edge of the bed, and a white medicine bottle appeared in her hand as if by magic.
Gu Jueye looked at the familiar medicine bottle.
“You rushed to China this time, and Bala anticipated that you might have a relapse, so before I came, he asked me to give you the medicine.”
"The water isn't too hot, so hurry up and eat. Although your endurance is as strong as you are, pain is still hard to bear."
While they were talking, the woman opened the medicine bottle, revealing a brown pill inside.
Gu Jueye didn't say anything. He took the pills and the water glass, put the brown pills in his mouth, took a sip of water, and swallowed them.
For over a hundred years, he had become accustomed to this pain that would occur once a year.
Bala's medication could only alleviate the pain he experienced during his attacks, but it did not provide a cure.
Therefore, this disease will continue to follow him like a shadow for many years to come.
"Where's your little girl? Haha, you're half dead sick, why isn't she by your bedside taking care of you?"
“She doesn’t know.” Gu Jueye put down his water glass and leaned wearily against the headboard.
The woman raised an eyebrow: "Isn't she living with you? Living under the same roof, how come she didn't notice you were sick? That doesn't make sense, does it? I think you've been protecting her all the time and spoiling her rotten. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come to China to enter the entertainment industry and create so many scandals."
The woman scoffed lightly, her tone revealing arrogance and disdain when she mentioned Bai Qianmo.
Gu Jueye's cold gaze suddenly shot towards the woman.
"She's spoiled by me. Even if she gets into a huge mess, I'll take the blame for her. There's no need for others to interfere. Now that you've delivered the medicine, you can leave."
The woman frowned, her cool and beautiful face revealing obvious displeasure.
"This girl is really something, she's managed to bewitch a man like you to this extent. Are you still the same Xu Changchong I knew before?"
The man glanced at the woman silently.
"You don't understand me."
"Hehe, let's just say I don't know you. But does that girl know you? I doubt it."
After saying that, the woman realized that Gu Jueye didn't want to talk to her anymore, so she got up and straightened her white coat.
"I'll come see you another day. Take good care of yourself."
"Another day? Didn't you come here to take Lisa away?"
The woman walked to the door and listened to her footsteps.
He stood silently for a few seconds, then slowly turned around with a faint smile on his face.
"Don't you understand Lisa's personality? No one has ever been able to stop her from doing what she wants since she was little. Even if she knows there's a wall in front of her, she has to run into it herself and feel the pain before she'll give up."
Gu Jueye remained silent for a moment.
"It seems your father sent you here for another mission."
The woman did not deny it, and said with a smile, "Ali came too. She kept insisting on seeing you, and I couldn't stop her. You should be prepared."
After speaking, the woman turned and left deftly.

Bai Qianmo walked into the Prosperous Media Building, and the security guard on duty at the entrance immediately saluted her.
"Hello, Mr. Bai!"
Bai Qianmo paused for a moment, then looked at the two security guards.
Two unfamiliar faces; it seems Chen Xiang has replaced his security team.
Nodding, Bai Qianmo walked straight into the building.
As I approached the elevator, a group of people happened to be walking towards me.
The visitors were none other than Cai Minmin, who is currently very popular, along with her manager, Sister Lin, and several assistants.
Today, Cai Minmin was dressed exceptionally formally in a smoky gray floor-length evening gown that perfectly accentuated her tall and slender figure. The strapless design revealed her delicate breasts and long, swan-like neck, exuding an elegant aura.
The moment Cai Minmin saw Bai Qianmo, her bright gaze turned cold.
He glanced at Bai Qianmo silently, without even saying hello, and walked straight into the elevator.
Compared to Cai Minmin, Sister Lin has to consider the bigger picture. After all, Bai Qianmo is the nominal boss of Prosperous Media. Even though Cai Minmin is now with Fourth Master, she hasn't established herself yet, so she still has to give Bai Qianmo some face for now.
However, she believed that Bai Qianmo wouldn't stay at Prosperous Media for long.
"Miss Bai, you've come to the company? Why are you alone? Didn't Su Peishan and your assistant come with you?"
Bai Qianmo glanced at Sister Lin.
"I have hands and feet, can't I come to the company by myself?"
The smile on Sister Lin's face froze.
“You are, after all, a celebrity with some fame. If you don’t come with staff, people will think you’re planning to retire from the industry. The company is currently investing heavily in developing our Minmin, and all sorts of rumors are circulating that you’re going to retire. If you come to the company like this, people will misunderstand.”
Bai Qianmo scoffed lightly and stepped into the elevator.
"I've been in this industry for so long, when have you ever seen me care about what other people think?"
Cai Minmin snorted: "While that makes sense, female celebrities embroiled in scandals will leave the audience with the impression that they're just trying to create hype. Aren't your past scandals the best example of that?"
Bai Qianmo leaned gently against the elevator wall, her eyebrows slightly raised, staring at Cai Minmin with a half-smile.
"It seems you're quite interested in me?"
Bai Qianmo glanced at Cai Minmin with a flippant look. Feeling somewhat uncomfortable under Bai Qianmo's gaze, Cai Minmin raised her chin high and gave a contemptuous sneer.
"You probably don't know how famous you are in this industry, do you? This year, your name has been trending on social media every week, haha, but there's hardly any good news. Instead, all sorts of scandals and negative stories are flying around. It's hard for me not to know about you even if I wanted to."
Cai Minmin harbors a deep-seated hostility towards Bai Qianmo.
Perhaps it's because Bai Qianmo and she are currently rivals, or perhaps it's because she became famous for her striking resemblance to Bai Qianmo during the two months Bai Qianmo was in a coma.
Therefore, she wouldn't allow her acting career to be brought back to square one just as it was starting to take off.
She never wants to experience the same things again—running around as an extra, being insulted, and being groped.
Therefore, no matter what method she uses, she must drive Bai Qianmo out of Prosperous Media, and if possible, make her disappear from the entertainment industry completely.
