The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 280: Love Me, Love My Dog—A Sting to His Heart

"Did your wealthy sister give this to you?" Zhou Huai asked with uncertainty, afraid it might be Chi Yu’s own savings. It wasn’t out of the question.

Chi Yu glanced at him, tossed the card into Zhou Huai’s hand, and walked off: "Yes, the wealthy lady gave it. And remember, this is a loan. When you turn things around, you have to pay it back. No password."

Zhou Huai held the card in his hand, momentarily lost in thought.

His hands were slightly trembling.

Yes, he graduated from drama school. Yes, his dream is to be a big star, all just to meet that person and stand by her side.

He had it all planned out: start from the bottom, work as an extra, a special actor, step by step until his face appeared before the camera, on the big screen, until... he could stand clean and dignified by her side.

Originally, he had planned out everything for his future.

But everything changed drastically six months before he graduated.

His sister, who depended on him, fell ill, diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer.

The doctor said the situation was dire, but if they actively pursued liver treatment, there was still hope, though it was slim, just one percent.

The treatment would cost a lot of money.

He was close to graduation, with no need to drop out, and his part-time job had only allowed him to save a four-digit sum. He was desperately short of money, and a single day at the hospital for his sister could easily run into the five digits.

It wasn’t about using the best drugs but about the fact that in her situation only the best drugs could sustain her life.

Without money, the medication would stop.

Zhou Huai knew well what kind of place the entertainment industry was. One couldn’t rise to success purely on ideals, but he could maintain his integrity.

But for money, he couldn’t keep his ideals or integrity; he needed to save his sister first.

Even though he verbally despised encountering a pervert, he was ready for the worst; he would grit his teeth and kneel if necessary, as long as they paid him.

To him, Chi Yu’s money was a bridge over a chasm, a light in the darkness.

"Bro, thanks. I’ll definitely pay you back as soon as possible," Zhou Huai said, his eyes heated, grateful for the money that would save his sister’s life.

He dashed to the hospital, and on his way out of Juhua Media, he collided with someone because he was running too fast in his excitement.

He knocked off the person’s sunglasses onto the ground.

Luckily, Sheng Yi was wearing flats, which helped her stabilize herself from the sudden collision.

However, when she saw her newly purchased five-digit sunglasses fall to the ground, her red lips parted slightly, and she looked at the culprit who bumped into her: "Even if you’re in a hurry, you shouldn’t run headlong into someone. My sunglasses... my newly-acquired model!!"

Zhou Huai’s first instinct was to ask if she was hurt, blaming his excitement; he couldn’t afford to waste a second getting to the hospital.

As a result, he ended up colliding with someone. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But when he looked up and saw the familiar face in front of him, Zhou Huai froze.

It was Sheng Yi, a top-tier actress, a popular television award winner, and a leading starlet—one of the current top female stars in the entertainment industry.

Zhou Huai had seen her a long time ago, back when she wasn’t famous yet.

Sheng Yi was in an extremely bad mood at the moment, getting hit as soon as she arrived at the company was frustrating.

Her eyebrows were furrowed: "Why are you staring at me, little brother? Pick up my sunglasses."

Zhou Huai snapped out of it, bent down to pick up the sunglasses, wiped them with the hem of his shirt, and handed them back to Sheng Yi: "I’m sorry, I was in such a hurry that I accidentally bumped into you. Are you hurt anywhere?"

"I’m not that fragile, a bump doesn’t injure me."

Sheng Yi took back her sunglasses, checked them, and frowned deeper: "There are marks here already. How unlucky, why did I have to come to the company today! I haven’t been here for a month, why choose today."

Zhou Huai hadn’t closely inspected the sunglasses when he picked them up; hearing Sheng Yi mention the scratches, he immediately said, "I’m sorry, I’ll get you a new pair."

"It’s fine."

Sheng Yi wasn’t a petty person, and she wasn’t short of money.

Besides, the guy looked like a recent college graduate, probably a company newbie.

She tossed the sunglasses to him: "I don’t use damaged luxury items, not even with the slightest flaw, because they lower my class. You’re a newbie, right? I wore these sunglasses for the first time today and they’re already flawed, so take them. It’s this season’s new model from TI; you can wear them before you become famous, but not after."

Zhou Huai caught the sunglasses steadily, looking at Sheng Yi with shock.

Sheng Yi raised her eyebrows: "What, you don’t want them?"

"No, no," Zhou Huai shook his head, "I don’t mind, it’s just... I’m really sorry, I really apologize. Otherwise, I’ll pay..."
