Xu Xiyun was stunned, his head bowed like a drenched dog. "I'm sorry, Teacher Si, but... they're using my grandmother against me. She's very sick."
"Your grandmother?" Si Fuqing's eyes darkened. "What's going on?"
"My grandmother is seriously ill," Xu Xiyun explained, his head in his hands. "I borrowed money from the company to get her hospitalized. The manager just said if I withdraw from the competition, they'll transfer her to a hospital in Sijiu City."
Xie Yu frowned, "Why didn't you say anything about this?"
Xu Xiyun opened his mouth, struggling to speak.
He always saw himself as a burden and didn't dare to trouble others.
"I see," Si Fuqing's tone softened slightly, her fox-like eyes curving again, "Which hospital is your grandmother in?"
Xu Xiyun was taken aback, "I... I had her transferred here when I came to train. She's in the First Affiliated Hospital."
