Chapter 24: The Star of Doom

  Meng Jun panted and ran, running for a full half hour before daring to stop. She subconsciously looked back at the road she came from, but the sinister man and the devilish Range Rover were nowhere to be seen. Only then did she let out a long sigh of relief.

  How unlucky is she, that black-bellied man is her destined nemesis. How did she provoke such a man? But in fact, she didn't provoke him at all, it was he who came out of nowhere to disturb her life.

  "Ah, what bad luck! What bad luck!" Meng Jun repeated the phrase "bad luck" several times, as if doing so could vent out the pent-up frustration in her heart. She had finally found a job with a decent salary that she was capable of handling, but now it was all down the drain. Her father's medical expenses were once again without a solution. The moment these thoughts occurred to her, a huge boulder instantly weighed heavily on her heart.

  What to do, what to do, this string of question marks was suffocating her. "What to do, really unlucky," these six words, no matter how many times she said them, were still useless in the face of the current situation. She had to get up, gritting her teeth and standing up, facing the stone wall and standing up for Dad.

  Facing the hardships that life has given her, she had no choice but to accept them unconditionally and bear them on her eighteen-year-old shoulders. The sky gradually darkened, and the heat dissipated a lot, it should be around eight o'clock now.

  A "gurgling" cry reminded Meng Jun that she hadn't had dinner yet. Originally, after finishing the afternoon shift, at this time she should be having dinner, and after dinner, she would help with some preparations for the night shift before getting off work.

  But this despicable, sinister man ruined all her plans. If someone has a fixed prejudice against another person, it's really hard to change their mind. Our Meng Jun thought that Mu Xingchen was not a good person and even forgot who the three people were who harassed her and which few bastards almost made her lose her chastity. But there's nothing that can be done about it, after all, she fainted at the time and didn't see Liu Shao's heroic scene of saving her, completely erasing his good deed.

  If the stars were here to listen to Meng Jun's words, their noses would be crooked with anger. But the phrase "money can't buy happiness" is especially suitable for our Sixth Young Master.

  Meng Jun was here, Mu Xingchen's resentment had no bounds, while Mu Xingchen was driving and thinking about how to appear in front of Meng Jun next time. This girl not only didn't treat him as a lifesaver but also hated him so much, and what she couldn't bear more was that she even mistakenly acknowledged another person as her benefactor in front of him! And this so-called benefactor turned out to be Lin Tao, who had been like a brother to him since childhood.

  Just thinking about it made him so depressed that he was about to go crazy, not knowing how to vent. He could only rely on speeding cars to vent his anger. What's even more incomprehensible is: from childhood to adulthood, as long as it was something he liked, Lin Tao would find a way to get it for him. But this time, why did he become so abnormal?

  He was even more wronged, he had clearly saved Zhuo Mengjun, why did everyone think he was bullying her? Anyway, no matter what, Zhuo Mengjun this girl can't escape his grasp. However, in his heart, there were still a few parts that were at ease, after this commotion, that girl definitely couldn't go back to work at Dongzhu Entertainment City, for the sake of her father's medical expenses, she would have to think of a way... Hmm... as long as I solve the problem of her father's medical expenses, wouldn't everything be resolved? Not asking that girl to be grateful to him, just as long as she doesn't hate him so much it's fine! Thinking like this, our usually proud and aloof, great Sixth Master's lips unexpectedly curled up into a childlike, innocent smile.

  Meng Jun, she bought two cold pancakes and filled her stomach randomly, then headed home. She was really tired, sleeping only four or five hours a day, heaven knows how she got through these days.

  Every day, she wakes up at five o'clock to review her lessons. Although the hope of going to university is already very slim, she doesn't want to waste her studies either. As long as there's a glimmer of hope, she still wants to read books. She deeply believes in the phrase "knowledge can change one's fate". As long as her father's condition stabilizes, she can work part-time and earn money while studying. The doctor said that the initial costs are high, but later on, it won't require so much expense. Moreover, she can also apply for medical assistance for low-income families.

  Uncle Du has been actively negotiating with the school for the past two days to see if they can bear some of his father's medical expenses. It's really a pity about his father, who was transferred from a small town in the countryside and has been working as a temporary worker for nearly twenty years.

  The city is crowded with people, and personnel adjustments have always been a difficult problem. For more than a decade, Father has been diligent and conscientious, and the students he taught have always ranked high in the city's exams. Therefore, the school gave special rewards to Father, allowing him to receive the same salary as formal teachers on the payroll, which was paid by the school itself. However, benefits and medical insurance could not be made equal. Nevertheless, the school has been trying to make Father a formal teacher on the payroll, but before it came true, Father had an accident! Thinking of this, Meng Jun couldn't help but sigh sadly, when the phone suddenly rang.
