Ye Shu had no choice but to look for the Ye family's relatives. She had hoped they would help on account of her father.
However, they did not take them seriously at all. She had no choice but to approach Lady Wang.
The result was as she had imagined.
Ye Shu stood at the side of the street in a daze, staring blankly at the traffic in front of her.
Just then, her phone rang.
Ye Shu answered the call without looking at the phone number.
"Ye Shu! I have a way to get the money!" It was the voice of Ye Shu's classmate and best friend, Mu Xiao.
Ye Shu's eyes lit up. "Wait for me! I'll be right there!"
…
When Ye Shu arrived at the place Mu Xiao mentioned, she found out that this was a "beauty pageant" for some big shot who could not reveal his name.
Ye Shu looked at the generous reward of five million and was instantly tempted.
Now that she was at her wits' end, it was better to be a science surrogate than to go to bed with Lin Cong…
Ye Shu shook her head and walked forward to fill in her particulars.
She did not habour much hope but was ultimately chosen!
She sat on the sofa and waited nervously. After a while, a man walked in with a contract.
"Miss Ye, about the surrogacy…"
"As it's not convenient for my master to make an appearance, please head to the hospital tomorrow at the appointed time."
"We will pay the full fee after confirming the pregnancy."
The man explained briefly and then signaled Ye Shu to check the contract.
After confirming that there was no problem with the content, Ye Shu then made her request.
"Can you give me the advance payment first? I really need money urgently!"
A knowing smile appeared on the man's face. "Okay! I'll call you immediately after signing the contract!"
Ye Shu did not hesitate. She picked up the pen that the man handed over and signed her name on the contract.
The man picked up his phone and made a call. After exchanging a few words with the other party, he hung up.
Ye Shu lowered her head and looked at the message sent by the bank. It showed that 500,000 dollars of advance payment had been paid.
Ye Shu looked at the man gratefully. "Thank you!"
…
After settling her mother's matter, Ye Shu felt more at ease. At night, she had planned to accompany her mother in the hospital.
However, the school administration called at the last minute and said that there was a document that she, as an assistant teacher, needed to sort out.
Ye Shu left her mother to the care of the nurses and rushed to school.
It was almost ten o'clock when Ye Shu was done organizing the materials. She then prepared to return to the hospital.
Just as she walked out of the school gate, a black shadow suddenly flashed past. The next second, Ye Shu fainted.
When she woke up groggily, her vision was pitch black, and she felt as if there was a thousand-kilogram rock pressing down on her chest.
Ye Shu struggled to get up. The thought of her mother being alone in the hospital and not having anyone to take care of her still lingered in her mind.
She tried to push the weight away from her chest, but found she couldn't muster the strength.
She wanted to speak, but when she opened her mouth, she could only let out a weak moan.
Ye Shu felt as if her entire body was on fire.
"Save, save me…" Ye Shu tried her best to shout, but when she could only hear her own delicate breathing.
The weight on her body seemed to be alarmed. It moved slightly before stopping.
It was only then that Ye Shu felt a faint breath beside her ear, blowing continuously.
She felt her entire body shudder as her hair stood on ends.
Ye Shu bit her lower lip hard, trying to get up.
There was another person beside her! She could even feel the heat from that person's body sweeping towards her.
She ignored the discomfort in her body and struggled to push the thing that was pressing on her away.
She did not know if her actions were too big and alarmed the person next to her. In the next moment, the thing that was on her body pulled her over.
Ye Shu had no time to cry out in surprise. Her eyes widened as she stared at the head that had suddenly appeared in front of her.
It turned out that it was a human arm that was pressing her down.
And that person was now hovering over her.
Ye Shu held her breath, as if this could make the person on her ignore her existence.
Just as she was trying her best to see the person in front of her clearly, the person suddenly lowered his head.
