Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard him. BaoYu's eyes filled with tears.

"Thank you, Doctor" Papa Ning held Dr.Si hands and cried.

Dr.Si was about to say that the person he should that was BaoYu. But when he saw BaoYu shaking her head, he didn't said anything.

"Dr. Stephenson will arriving by tomorrow morning. So I hope you guys be ready with the operation fees" Dr.Si informed and left.

The happiness they felt started to fade. Just now they over came the big hurdle now they have faced another one. The operation fees are too much for Papa Ning to afford.

When the kids heard that Papa Ning planned to sell his Restaurant for Papa Qing, they didn't agree neither they didn't reject.

BaiLing knew how much Papa Ning love his Restaurant. If he sells his Restaurant then what he will do for his living? How will he send NingXuan to the college?

The same thought ran through QingZe's mind as well.

With that they both individually decided to meet with their biological Father and Mother separately.

BaiLing met his father and he said he will be leaving with him only if he agree to give the money for Papa Qing surgery. Mr.Bai agreed to his grudgingly.

At the same time QingZe met his mother and informed her the same. She felt shocked when she heard that Papa Qing met with an accident but she was secretly happy because of his accident her son will be living with her for the life time.

QingZe meeting with his mother was accidentally discovered by YiChen. He immediately called and informed BaoYu.

"What to do, YiChen? If Papa Qing come to know that because of him, his son left to choose the hard path he will be heart broken for sure" BaoYu cried hard.

"Don't cry. Let me ask my Mom for the money" YiChen assured her but BaoYu shook her head.

"No, Just few days ago Madam Yi renovated her restaurant. I'm sure she doesn't have that much money with her" BaoYu said to him.

"I should have stayed with you, but I'm sorry that I'm got to leave for the venue because of the competition" YiChen felt that he was helpless.

Suddenly an idea crossed her mind. "YiChen, When is your martial arts starts tomorrow morning?"

"It's 9Am. Why?" He asked her.

"Nothing. I have some work to do. I call you later" BaoYu disconnected the call and ran towards the busstop.

......

YiChen was shocked to see the person standing in front of him smiling like peach flower blooms.

"Don't tell me you are going to participate" YiChen asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, you are right. Don't worry, I already spoke with your Dad and he registered my name" BaoYu started to do warm up.

"Are you crazy? Do you know it will be cost of your life if you participate" YiChen shouted angrily at her.

"Nothing is more important than Papa Qing" BaoYu gave him a assuring smile.

BaoYu know that this Martial Arts Competition winner will be getting two million as a cash prize.

Papa Qing operation cost around one million with other million he can recuperate in home. So she decided to take a risk. Even if she didn't won, she might get some cash prize.

"BaoYu"

BaoYu was startled when she heard someone called her. She turned look at the familiar yet unfamiliar person walking towards her.

"I thought I was mistaken, now I know I'm not" ZhanXiao smiled her.

"Hello, Mr.Zh-"

"BaoYu"

Another familiar voice attacked her before she could finish her greeting.

"ZhanFang, what are you doing here?" BaoYu looked puzzled.

"I have to ask you that what are you doing here? Are you gone insane? You don't have any experience in competing with others? What if? What if anything happens to you?" Tears rolled down on cheeks.

BaoYu felt touched, "I'll be fine. Don't worry. If I become crippled, won't you look after me?"

"Peh, stop cursing yourself" YiChen flicked her forehead. "I know, it must be you who informed ZhanFang. I don't know you have such a loose mouth" BaoYu pouted.

"Stop acting like kid. You should know the consequences what will happen if anything goes wrong. Before that, it'll be best if you quit" YiChen said to her.

"Yes, BaoYu you can quit. Tell me how much you need. I'll-" ZhanFang was cut off by BaoYu, "ZhanFang, I don't want to trouble anyone. Please, let me do it in my way"

"BaoYu, do you remember what I told you before?" Everyone turned to look at ZhanXiao.

He know everything about BaoYu through his sister. At first when his parents were praising about ZhanFang new friend he thought she must be a girl who wants to enjoy ZhanFang's luxurious.

But now when ZhanFang got the call from YiChen she urged him to drop her to the venue of the competition. On the way she started to talk how BaoYu was struggling with her life.

Until meeting BaoYu with ZhanFang he didn't even know that the BaoYu he knows and the BaoYu his younger sister knows are the same people.

"Mr.Zhan, why are you here?" BaoYu looked puzzle.

YiChen was not present when ZhanXiao came to meet BaoYu in the restaurant. So he kind of looked puzzled how could BaoYu know this handsome gentleman.

"You both knew each other?" ZhanFang asked her.

"Yeah. He came to meet me to recriut for his company" BaoYu said looking puzzled what was he doing here.

ZhanXiao seemed to noticed her puzzled look, "Let me introduce myself once again. I'm ZhanXiao, your friend ZhanFang's elder brother"

BaoYu nodded her head. "Brother, Don't tell me BaoYu is the writer for whom you bankrupt that company for wronged her" ZhanFang screamed in excitement.

"What do you mean by that?" YiChen asked her. ZhanFang told YiChen and BaoYu how her brother got angry when the story which BaoYu sent for the online contest was not selected and when he got to know the reason behind that he made that company to bankrupt.

BaoYu inhaled deeply and looked at ZhanXiao who was staring at her, "I didn't know-"

Before she could finish her sentence there was an announcement for participants to gather in the stadium. YiChen looked worried.

When BaoYu was about to leave, ZhanXiao grabbed her wrist, "You don't have to participate in the competition, I'll give you the money for the operation"

BaoYu raised her eyebrow giving him a questioning look.

"Of course, it's not for free. You have to sign a ten year contract with my company"

BaoYu heart trembled by hearing his offer. She know very well she might not be able to win the competition, at least she can be a runner up. With that she can get half of the amount for the operation. But now with his offer it seemed she can pay the full amount.

Then he continued, "But I have one condition"

BaoYu felt nervous, "What's your condition?"

"You have to leave Mr.Ning and his family"
