<strong>Chapter 816: Chapter 818: Down and Out</strong>


    But Lin Zhao shook his head, “It’s nothing.”


    Lin Zhao’s mother, seeing such a lovely youngdy like Liu Yue, couldn’t help bute forward and pull Lin Zhao aside, asking, “Lin Zhao, who is this? Why don’t you introduce her to mom?”


    Lin Zhao gave a light cough, “This is my colleague, Liu Yue.”


    Lin Zhao’s mother suddenly realized, “Oh, so you’re also working at the marketce?”


    Liu Yue smiled, he said, “I don’t work at the gambling stone field. I work at a pharmacy owned by our boss right next to the Doudu Stone Gambling Field, so that’s how Lin Zhao and I know each other.”


    Lin Zhao’s mother nodded; her eyes examining Liu Yue, found this youngdy more and more pleasing to the eye, and she was quite good-looking.


    Liu Yue didn’t know what his mother was thinking, but just being looked at like that made her a bit ufortable all over.


    Lin Zhao also noticed his mother staring at Liu Yue and sighed helplessly, “Mom, your health is still weak, let’s hurry home to rest.”


    The doctor originally rmended that Lin Zhao’s mother be hospitalized for observation for a few days, but Lin Zhao’s mother was worried about spending money, so after taking a painkiller shot, she insisted on being discharged.


    Lin Zhao was also helpless and had to agree.


    Liu Yue also saw that Lin Zhao’s mother looked very pale and couldn’t help but feel a bit sad, thinking of the doctor’s words.


    “Auntie, if you’re not feeling well, you should go home and rest quickly, it’s cold outside, hurry home,”


    Liu Yue said.


    Lin Zhao’s mother nodded. “Alright, alright, such a thoughtful child,e to our house to y when you have time.”


    Liu Yue smiled and nodded, then watched them leave.


    After seeing them drive away, the smile on Liu Yue’s face gradually faded.


    She thought for a moment and decided to tell Chu Ge directly about this matter, after all, Mr. Chu is well-informed and with his abilities, he should have a solution.


    Thinking of this, Liu Yue directly took a taxi to the vi.


    Today was the first day of the summit, and there were really not many people at the gambling stone field, so the boss gave everyone a holiday. At this time, Chu Ge should have returned to the vi to rest.


    Sure enough, when she arrived at the vi, she saw Lin Dong and Huo Tianqian having a heated discussion in the yard, while Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu watched the excitement from the side.


    Jian Chunqiu proudly said to Chu Ge, “How is it? My apprentice is not bad, right?”


    Chu Ge nced at him indifferently and snorted, “I was the one who discovered your apprentice. Do you think I would say he’scking?”


    To say he’scking would be to doubt his own judgment, wouldn’t it?


    Jian Chunqiu rolled his eyes at him, “Hmph, why is it so hard for you topliment me?”


    As Liu Yue came in, Lin Dong set up the array again, reluctantly looking at Huo Tianqian, and murmured, “I give up, I give up. The difference is indeed too big!”


    Huo Tianqianughed heartily, “It’s quite something for you to be at this level at such a young age. You know, when I first entered the Ancient Martial Arts, I wasn’t as good as you.”


    Lin Dong felt a little better after hearing that.


    He looked at Huo Tianqian with curiosity, “Am I really as impressive as you say?”


    Huo Tianqian chuckled, shaking his head, “It’s not that you’re impressive, it’s just that you have some talent.”


    Lin Dong proudly lifted his head, “That is true.”


    Lin Dong noticed Liu Yue standing at the door, froze for a moment, and asked puzzled, “Sister Liu Yue, why are you here?”


    Liu Yue then slowly approached, “I’m here because I want to discuss something with Mr. Chu.”


    Chu Ge looked at Liu Yue curiously, “What’s the matter?”


    Liu Yue hesitated, not really knowing how to exin it properly.


    Chu Ge called Liu Yue inside, “You all continue ying, Liu Yue, let’s go in and talk.”


    Once inside the living room, Chu Ge asked, “Alright, now that it’s just the two of us, you can tell me directly what’s going on.”


    Liu Yue fidgeted with her hands, looking unsure, “Mr. Chu, there’s something I don’t know if I should tell you. If I tell you, I feel it’s not quite right, but if I don’t, I feel like you’re the only one who can solve it.”


    Chu Ge smiled as he saw Liu Yue’s conflicted expression, “It’s alright, just say it, no matter what it is, I won’t tell anyone else.”


    Liu Yue sighed, “Actually, it’s about Lin Zhao. When I went to the hospital to see my friend today, I happened to see Lin Zhao.”


    Chu Ge was taken aback, “Lin Zhao is in the hospital? What’s wrong with him?”


    Wasn’t he fine when he left today?


    Liu Yue shook her head, “It’s not Lin Zhao, it’s his mother. She went to the hospital today because of acute gastroenteritis but was diagnosed with advanced cancer.”


    Liu Yue sighed. “I saw Lin Zhao crying so sadly with my own eyes. Ever since his father was gone, his mother has been the mental support of their family. Although Lin Zhao is working now, he’s just a neen-year-old kid.”


    To bear such things at such a young age is really too cruel.”


    “Which ward were they in?” Chu Ge asked.


    Liu Yue shook her head, “Because of the money issue, they were discharged.”


    Liu Yue didn’t know what Lin Zhao was thinking, but from his mother’s words, it was clear that she was very worried about money. If she knew she had this illness, she would definitely choose an extreme way not to be a burden to Lin Zhao.


    Chu Ge was silent for a moment, “Alright, I understand.”


    Liu Yue looked at Chu Ge worriedly, “Mr. Chu, about this matter…”


    She wasn’t sure how to express it. She really wanted to know what Mr. Chu would do about it, but the words wouldn’te out.


    How should she ask? Should she ask if Mr. Chu could help with this matter? What ground did she have to ask if Mr. Chu would help or not?


    Chu Ge saw Liu Yue’s hesitation and told her, “Don’t worry, I’ll help with this matter. Lin Zhao is your friend, he’s also my friend, and my employee. When someone on our side encounters difficulties, how could I just stand by?”


    The words “our side” warmed Liu Yue’s heart like a warm stream. She smiled, knowing that with that statement from Chu Ge, Mr. Chu would certainly help.


    “Then, Mr. Chu, I’ll head back now. There are still many things to deal with at the orphanage.”


    Liu Yue’s mood suddenly turned lighter.


    After Liu Yue left, Lin Dong curiously approached and asked, “Mr. Chu, what was the matter with Sister Liu Yue? Why was she acting so mysterious?”


    Chu Ge lightly shook his head, “Nothing.”


    Lin Zhao wouldn’t willingly tell him about this matter, so he must take the initiative to help Lin Zhao’s mother.


    Advanced cancer isn’t scary; what’s scary is Lin Zhao falling even further into despair because of it…
