Chapter 1147: Chapter 1207

"Part-time job? Is she really short of money?" Gu Cheng looked confused. Usually when they went out, he would pay. He never imagined Zhou Zhou would need to do a part-time job due to a lack of money.

He had heard her mention it briefly. He advised her not to do it, saying she could talk to him if she needed money. But Zhou Zhou refused, saying the work wasn’t tiring and she just wanted to improve herself.

That’s why he didn’t ask further.

Jiang Meng was somewhat angry, Gu Cheng’s innocent tone could really make someone furious!

But now she had become rational, she said coolly, "Before Zhou Zhou was with you, she wasn’t doing any part-time job and was focused on her studies. After being with you, she bought a watch for you and spent all her savings and even borrowed money. She borrowed tens of thousands from me and worked as a tutor during the summer to pay it back. When she returned, I advised her not to do it again, but being with you put a lot of financial pressure on her and she insisted on continuing."

Gu Cheng was shocked after hearing Jiang Meng’s words. He broke into a cold sweat. No wonder it was hard to contact her during the summer; she was actually working part-time as a tutor.

The attending doctor walked out, exhausted from the surgery. He said, "The condition of the injured person is relatively optimistic. She hasn’t escaped danger yet. It’ll primarily depend on the next twenty-four hours, but she has burns covering seventy percent of her body, making the treatment a lengthy process."

"I want you to do everything to save her. As long as she can be revived, don’t worry about the cost." Qiao Qiqi said solemnly.

The doctor nodded, indicating he understood, and headed back to his office.

The previous treatment costs had been fronted by the school, and the nurse reported that they were running out of money. Qiao Qiqi immediately turned to the school teacher. The teacher, with difficulty, said, "I’ll go pay the fees right away."

The school had already paid a hundred thousand, and it was all spent so quickly!

But saving lives was more urgent, so he quickly went to apply for more funds from the school.

Gu Shilin saw everyone was exhausted and said, "I see everyone staying here isn’t ideal. Let’s set up a schedule and take turns keeping watch, twenty-four hours a day. If everyone stays here, eventually you’ll all be too worn out to take care of Zhou Zhou?"

Gu Shilin’s words made sense, but at that moment, no one wanted to leave. Ultimately, he forcibly assigned shifts to everyone.

"Qiqi and Gu Cheng stay first, Jiang Meng and Yu CaiCai go back to rest. Come over tomorrow at noon to switch! No more talking, that’s the decision!" Gu Shilin forcibly took Jiang Meng away, and Yu CaiCai grudgingly went back too.

On the way back, both girls were silent, their hearts unbearably heavy. No one knew what Zhou Zhou had experienced before the explosion. Fortunately, the burns on her face were minimal, with most of the injuries on her body. She seemed to instinctively protect her face during the explosion.

But what does saving the face matter when the body is burned?

Jiang Meng felt like crying whenever she thought about it.

After sending them back to school, the school also arranged for classmates to comfort Jiang Meng and Yu CaiCai, but neither wanted the comfort, so they sent everyone away, leaving just the two of them in the dormitory.

...

In the hospital, Qiao Qiqi had already contacted the eldest brother, second brother, and third brother, asking them to help find top burn experts for a consultation for Zhou Zhou.

The police had already questioned the students conducting experiments in the laboratory that day and found nothing unusual. The surveillance was also checked, showing no one entering the laboratory. As for the explosion, it was caused by a chemical substance floating in the air.
