Luo Tianhua had indeed departed.
Fuying frantically pressed the call button on the wall. She couldn't believe it. The old man who had just been talking so much had peacefully closed his eyes, and Li Yanqian's cut apple fell to the ground.
"I'm sorry, both of you. The patient couldn't be saved and has passed away." The doctor in a white coat announced, removing his mask and looking exhausted.
"How is that possible? Grandpa Luo!" Fuying cried in disbelief. Why did it happen so suddenly?
Li Yanqian stared at the old man in the hospital bed, appearing as if he were asleep. She walked to the side and knelt down directly.
"Master, have a safe journey."
The recall mode was triggered, and the audience finally witnessed the first encounter between Luo Tianhua and Li Yanqian.
It turned out that when Li Yanqian was ten years old, she was adopted out by her biological mother, Cao Li, and placed with an infertile family. Although she was adopted, Cao Li also received a significant sum of money as a token of gratitude, but it quickly vanished. Cao Li took the money and used it to pay off the debt of Li Xinghai, who was detained in a casino...
Li Yanqi lived under the roof of another family for over a year. In the second year, the family successfully conceived a child of their own.
"Yes, thank you so much. They say that adopting a child brings new life into your own. You truly are our lucky star," said Aunt Zhang.
"But, my husband, we already have a new baby. We need to tell her..."
"Aunt Zhang, Uncle Chen, it's alright. I had planned to become an apprentice elsewhere so I could start working early and make money. But I need you to sign the consent form for me. After all... I..."
Li Yanqian seemed reluctant to utter those names that represented her relatives, but she still found another way to say it.
"You are my current legal guardians."
After successfully finding a place for Li Yanqian to be an apprentice, she ended up at a martial arts school in a remote suburb.
The door of Wuyuan was opened, and the person who greeted them was an energetic Luo Tianhua from ten years ago.
The scenes on the screen continued to flash, and the barrage area was filled with frantic discussions.
[In the midst of this heart-wrenching scene, what a tragic life this is!]
[That Cao Li and Li Xinghai are so despicable! Selling their own daughter like that!]
[Bah! Remember how embarrassed they were when they met Li Yanqian before!]
[Li Yanqian was adopted by another family, which means Cao Li is no longer her mother. She doesn't need to support her anymore.]
[That family is despicable too. She brought them blessings but then discarded her once it ran out.]
[If this Li Yanqian is truly the heroine, then the screenwriter must be a stepmother. I've never seen such a miserable heroine.]
[Now Li Yanqian has lost the only person she could call a relative. How pitiful.]
...
"What's happening? How did the memory plot suddenly trigger?!" Liang Mengjia immediately called Gan Lin, sensing that something was amiss.
"The memory mode isn't controlled by us. When the plot isn't progressing smoothly, the system automatically triggers the memory mode. This is the first time we've seen Li Yanqian's past." A magnetic male voice replied on the other end of the phone.
...
Liang Mengjia didn't know what to say. Just then, another call came in. Seeing the caller, she hastily ended the previous call and answered.
"Dad... why are you calling now?"
Liang Mengjia smiled and spoke. She had promised Li Yue that Li Yanqian would have an incredibly powerful heroine halo, and she would never suffer in the drama.
On the other end of the phone, Li Yue remained silent for two seconds before saying, "Jiajia, did you intentionally speak so negatively?"
He wasn't foolish. He had been quite shocked when he saw Li Yanqian's past in the drama because it resembled Liang Mengjia's own experience in some ways!
