The love story of a wealthy brother and sister

Chapter 112 2 Worlds

Li Shu was a little absent-minded during class until he received a call from his father in the evening.

"Hey, Dad,"

"Shushu," her father's voice sounded as if he was hesitant to speak, "your mother has leg pain and has just been hospitalized."

"What happened to her?" Li Shu's mind went blank for a moment. He started to organize his books while speaking, "I'll go over now."

"Don't worry," the person on the phone just advised her, "I'm just telling you so that you won't be alone when you get home."

"How is Mom now?"

"It's an old illness, and the doctor asked me to be hospitalized,"

"Oh," Li Shu relaxed a little, and said, "I just finished class, I'll go see my mother."

"That's fine, but don't let it interfere with your studies."

"will not."

·

She took a taxi to the hospital and learned some information from the doctor. It was a relapse of her old illness - not the first time, so she had to be treated in the hospital - of course, the cost was still high, and it was not covered by medical insurance.

She remained calm until she saw her mother's swollen and deformed calf, then she burst into tears.

Zhou Li hurriedly comforted her, "Don't cry, it doesn't hurt anymore, it just looks swollen."

Li Shu nodded, tears still falling. Zhou Li continued, "Don't worry, the doctor said that you will get better if you cooperate with the treatment."

She took Li Shu's hand again, "You just like to cry. I told you it's okay..."

·

At about 6 o'clock, Li Shu's father cooked and brought the meal over, and the mother and daughter ate together in the hospital.

"I still have scholarships here," Li Shu quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice and looked at his father, "I'll transfer some money to you,"

"No need," he refused directly, "The noodle shop business is good, we also have pensions, you are a student, don't worry so much."

"Yes, Shushu," Zhou Li also looked at her gently, "You get scholarships every year, which is great," she paused and emphasized, "Study hard and take the postgraduate entrance examination well, this is the most important thing for you"

"Keep a good attitude, no matter what happens," Li Shu's father looked at her, then at Zhou Li, and said seriously, "As long as our family works together, there will be no obstacles that we can't overcome."

"It's all because of my poor health," Zhou Li said, a little embarrassed. "I just happen to have this disease of affluence, which has been a burden to you all the time—"

"Don't talk nonsense," Li Shu interrupted her angrily, "Family members don't talk about whether it's a burden or not."

Her cell phone suddenly rang - it was Jiang Kaicheng.

She quickly answered the phone: "Hello,"

"Shushu, are you free tonight?" - He was always very happy.

"What's wrong?" She didn't know what it was.

"Christmas is coming soon," he said, sounding a little excited. "There are activities at nightclubs every day recently. Do you want to go check it out?"

"No," she said with difficulty. She looked up at her parents, stood up and walked out of the ward. She closed the door before answering him, "I won't go. You go and have fun."

"If you don't go, then I won't go either," Jiang Kaicheng quickly followed up her words, and then said, "This weekend, I'll take you on vacation."

"Let's talk about it this weekend," Li Shu felt sad for some reason and said casually, "I'll read a book first, that's all."

Before Jiang Kaicheng could say anything, she hung up the phone.

There were few people in the quiet hospital corridor, but at this moment she was extremely aware of the huge distance between herself and Jiang Kaicheng - they were from two completely different worlds.

·

The literary club that Li Shu joined holds a writing competition every year. Her writing is very good, and she soon found a side job - writing articles for the headlines of public accounts. Although her parents did not ask her to share the burden, she was aware of her family's conditions and felt that she had to do something to feel at ease.

But this means she has even less time and fewer opportunities to meet Jiang Kaicheng.

·

She felt upset and confided in Lin Yingci. She sent her a long message, and Lin Yingci quickly called her back:

"Auntie is in the hospital? How is she now?"

"It's an old illness. I can go home after a few more days," she said, sitting at the desk with headphones on. "But my mother's illness keeps coming back, and I don't know if she can really get better."

"It will be better than before, right?" Lin Yingci didn't know the exact cause of the disease, and said, "Maybe we should change hospitals?"

"It seems there is one in Beijing," Li Shu sat up as if he had discovered a new world, and turned on the computer again, "I'll check it out and take her to see it during the winter vacation."

Lin Yingci said "hmm" and continued: "Don't think too much. If you feel uncomfortable, just don't see him for the time being. He only knows how to play."

"Actually, he's very good," Li Shu couldn't help but speak for him, "He's always been like this, why would he stop playing just because of me?"

"Well... after all, he doesn't know about Auntie's affairs," Lin Yingci still said something to help Jiang Kaicheng.

"Yeah, you said that in our family, seeing a doctor is a problem..." Li Shu became dejected again.

"Actually, I think," Lin Yingci seemed to be hesitant to speak, "sometimes you shouldn't reject his help too much. As a girlfriend, he should share the burden."

"Then I, as his girlfriend, am asking him to share too much."

"Not much," Lin Yingci still tried to comfort, "Really not much,"

"He can definitely find a girlfriend who is equally matched with him," Li Shu paused, "He and I are completely different."

"You've been in a bad mood recently. Don't make any decisions yet. Adjust your mood." Lin Yingci remembered something and asked, "You said you found a part-time job?"

"Yes, I write articles for the platform," she quickly added, "but writing this is a bit against my will," she sighed, "It's nothing more than grabbing hot spots and deliberately creating gimmicks."

"It's OK as long as you can write," Lin Yingci comforted her, "You work for them, so do what they want, but you are still you."

"Yeah," Li Shu nodded, "It's like this now. I'm afraid it will get worse in the future." She paused and continued, "Xiaoci, reality is really cruel..."
