Everyone Uses Their Own Skills

At the entrance of the restaurant, Gu Shaohua walked in arm-in-arm with a distinguished lady, chatting and laughing. They were also there to dine, but they headed to a private room.

Sheng Xiangsi didn't want to make a big scene. Although she didn't understand why she had to drink the orange juice, she quickly picked it up and gulped it down.

"Is that enough?"

"Of course." Diao Yan raised her eyebrows, "A star truly has great magnanimity!"

Turning around, a sly smile flashed in her eyes.

When Gu Shaohua glanced in their direction, the matter was already settled.

The lady beside her, none other than Zhou Jinting's mother, Mrs. Zhou, pointed at Sheng Xiangsi.

"Is that the one Mr. Fu asked you to take care of?"

"Yes, she is."

Gu Shaohua nodded with a smile, "She's indeed talented. In the future, she'll be one of the pillars of the Lightning Dance Troupe."

"Really?"

Mrs. Zhou sighed in relief, "That's wonderful. Come on, I'm starving."

"Let's go."

…

Late at night.

"Mm, hmm…"

Bai Ran was woken up by strange noises, which startled her into a cold sweat. Turning on the light, she saw Sheng Xiangsi curled up in a ball on the bed, clutching her blanket.

The groaning was coming from Xiangsi!

"Xiangsi!"

Bai Ran immediately got out of bed and rushed to her bedside, "What's wrong? Where does it hurt?"

Sheng Xiangsi was drenched in cold sweat, clutching her stomach. Suddenly, she bolted upright and ran into the bathroom.

Her stomach had been upset even before Bai Ran woke up. She had already made several trips to the toilet.

After multiple trips, only gut-wrenching pain remained.

"Xiangsi, I'm coming in."

Worried about her, Bai Ran pushed open the bathroom door and grabbed a towel to wipe her face, "Is it diarrhea?"

"Mm." Sheng Xiangsi nodded weakly, feeling embarrassed. "You should go out."

"What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Bai Ran could see through her, "You're unwell, it's not intentional. How do you feel? Be honest."

"…"

Sheng Xiangsi wanted to say she was fine but was stopped. She admitted, "Not great, the pain is severe."

"Tsk."

Bai Ran frowned tightly, "This won't do, you can't tough it out."

She immediately got up, "I'll contact the hotel to see if they have any medicine."

"Mm, thank you."

"No need to thank me. Everyone gets sick sometimes."

Bai Ran waved her hand and turned to leave.

After calling the front desk, the staff said, "We have some basic medicines. We'll send them to your room right away."

"Thank you very much."

Bai Ran, anxious, opened the door and waited outside.

Soon, a staff member arrived with the medicine, and nearby, Gu Shaohua opened her door, "Assistant Bai, what's going on?"

"Troupe leader."

Bai Ran, holding the medicine, explained, "It's Xiangsi. She might have eaten something bad and had diarrhea several times. Now she has severe stomach pain, so I asked for some medicine."

"Is that so?"

Gu Shaohua walked over, "Let me see her."

"Okay."

Entering the room, Gu Shaohua saw Xiangsi lying weakly on the bed. She uncharacteristically acted like a caring elder, touching her face.

"Take the medicine and rest well. If you still feel unwell, let Assistant Bai inform me."

"Thank you, Teacher Gu."

"Silly child, no need to thank me. Take your medicine now. I won't disturb you further."

Gu Shaohua got up and returned to her room.

Tonight, she was sharing a room with Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou, who came to watch the performance with nothing else to do, didn't expect a typhoon.

Seeing Gu Shaohua return with a strange expression, she asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Yes."

Gu Shaohua nodded, "Sheng Xiangsi has a stomach upset, and it looks serious. I don't know if the medicine will help."

If the medicine didn't work, given the current weather, it would be difficult to get her to the hospital.

"Don't worry too much. Young people have good resistance..."

As Mrs. Zhou was speaking, her phone rang. Checking the caller ID, she smiled helplessly.

Answering the call, "Little ancestor, do you know what time it is? Calling your mother now?"

"Sorry, sorry, my mistake."

On the other end was Zhou Jinting.

Zhou Jinting, currently in Vancouver, called to ask his mother for a favor, "Mom, could you check the study for me…"

"Can't help." Mrs. Zhou replied, "I'm not home. I'm in Haicheng with Aunt Gu."

"Oh, I see. Then I'll call Dad…"

"Son!"

Just as she was about to hang up, Mrs. Zhou stopped him, "By the way, Sheng Xiangsi is not feeling well. She has diarrhea and stomach cramps. Hanjiang… should know, right?"

This…

Zhou Jinting thought, that guy probably 'has no right' to know.

"I'm just mentioning it. Whether he knows or not, he can't fly to Haicheng now, can he? The roads are closed. Bye, call your dad."

Holding the phone, Zhou Jinting pondered. Then he picked up his phone and dialed.

"Hello?"

After a long wait, Fu Hanjiang's usual lazy voice answered, "What's up in the middle of the night?"

"Well…"

Zhou Jinting hesitated briefly, then said honestly, "Sheng Xiangsi is in Haicheng right now…"

"Tsk."

Fu Hanjiang sneered, "Are you bored? Of course I know."

"But do you know she has diarrhea and stomach cramps?" Zhou Jinting, annoyed, "Can't you let me finish?"

"What?"

Fu Hanjiang's tone instantly tightened, "She's sick?"

"Yes." Zhou Jinting said, "My mom just happened to be there watching Aunt Gu's performance and mentioned it."

Then it must be true!

Clutching his phone, Fu Hanjiang threw off his blanket and got out of bed.

Just then, Zhou Jinting added, "After calling you, I'll also inform Zhong Pei. We're all brothers, can't play favorites, right?"

As for who ultimately wins the beauty's heart, that depends on their skills.

Fu Hanjiang gritted his teeth, "Fine, got it!"

Hanging up, Fu Hanjiang quickly entered his wardrobe to change, while calling Rong Zheng.

"Rong Zheng, come to the Fu residence. Bring your helicopter license!"

"Got it, Second Master."

Fu Hanjiang knew about the typhoon and road closures in Haicheng. Driving was out of the question, but fortunately, both he and Rong Zheng could pilot a helicopter.

The Fu family had a helicopter, purchased by his older brother Fu Hanchuan.

Compared to him, Zhong Pei was already in Haicheng—Fu Hanjiang was at a disadvantage.

Though Xiangsi's safety was the priority, he still hoped to get there before Zhong Pei!

Meanwhile, Zhong Pei also received a call from Zhou Jinting.

"Hello, brother?"

"Zhong Pei, listen carefully…"

…

At the hotel.

Sheng Xiangsi took the medicine, praying silently for it to work.

However, it didn't.

Clutching her stomach, the pain didn't subside but instead seemed to intensify.

"Xiangsi?"

Bai Ran, sitting by the bed, was frantic. What should they do if the medicine didn't work?

"This won't do, we need to get you to a hospital! I'll go find the troupe leader!"
