A few days later
Luo Bai paid the penalty for breach of contract, but then Xu Qing said he was going abroad and wouldn't be back for a while.
Luo Bai was getting anxious and wanted to ask what this meant. Xu Qing told him that he might be going to marry a foreign woman.
Because he hadn't been back for so long, his overseas company had made a major operational mistake and was now in dire need of funds. Coincidentally, a woman with a son wanted to marry him.
The woman promised that after she helped him, his inheritance would go to her son when he grew old and died.
Xu Qing lowered her head, looking helpless. This time, Luo Bai was completely anxious. "How much do you need? I'll make up for it for you, okay? Just don't marry that woman."
Xu Qing shook his head. " Xiao Bai, you should keep it for yourself. If something like this happens to my company again, your money won't just be wasted. It will be your father who feels sorry for you. I haven't given you anything during this time."
Luo Bai wouldn't listen to any of that. He heard from Xu Qing's friend that Xu Qing's company was very large, and the cash pool was different from the company's total assets. It was just a cash shortage. After the cash was replenished, it could still make a lot of money every year.
"Dad, please stop. It's all my fault for getting injured so often, causing you to postpone your return to China time and time again, which led to this situation. I told you, I'll help you, please don't marry that woman, you won't be happy."
He didn't care whether Xu Qing was happy or not; what mattered was that Xu Qing's money had to belong to him, his only son, and no one else could take it away!
Luo Bai's gaze was firm as he held Xu Qing's hand and pleaded, "Dad, please let me help you. I just want you to be happy. Don't get married. Can't it just be the two of us, father and son, living together? I can go abroad with you."
Luo Bai looked up at Xu Qing with a pitiful expression.
"But you have a dating reality show to participate in in a couple of days. Even though you can go despite your injury, I'm worried about you." Xu Qing turned her head away from him, her voice slightly choked.
Luo Bai knew he had moved Xu Qing, and a smile played on his lips, "Dad, how about this, you go back first, manage the company well, and I'll come to see you after I finish recording the variety show, okay?"
Xu Qing shook her head. "Don't trust me, I don't even trust myself. You keep the money."
Luo Bai tried to reason with Xu Qing for a long time, but Xu Qing remained adamant. Luo Bai, even more anxious and angry, exclaimed, "Dad! Do you really look down on your son's money that much?!"
Xu Qing quickly shook her head. "No, Xiao Bai, don't be angry."
In the end Xu Qing couldn't persuade Luo Bai otherwise and compromised.
That day, Luo Bai also took Xu Qing to the airport. When the system showed it to Luo Beishi, Luo Beishi almost burst out laughing.
A few days later, Luo Bai finally realized something was wrong. He took the contract for the so-called "love show" to a law firm, only to find that the contract was fake, and even the advertising contract for which he had previously paid the penalty for breach of contract was fake!
Upon learning the truth, Luo Bai was struck dumb and fainted in the other person's law firm.
Another reason for the huge blow was that someone told him that Xu Qing had never been abroad in all these years, but had been in prison the whole time, and had only been released recently.
At first, Luo Bai didn't believe it, thinking Xu Qing was honest and simple, how could he possibly be... But when he couldn't get through on the phone, he panicked completely. To confirm the matter, he took the contract to a lawyer to see, and it turned out the contract was also fake.
Upon realizing it was a scam, he lost control and fainted.
Because of his hospitalization, he spent half of his remaining money.
The father cheated the mother out of money, and the mother went to jail.
Luo Bai has completely lost his support and has nothing left.
He called Qin Feilin, but was blocked. He then called his backup options, only to find that they had also blocked him.
The reason he was blocked was that the backup suitors received a package of 250 chat logs containing a lot of ambiguous messages between Luo Bai and others.
They all snapped out of their daze, angrily blocked Luo Bai, and avoided him like the plague.
Luo Bai was completely unaware of this and was still foolishly calling 250, but the fake system didn't need the host's authentication and could leave at any time.
After calling out for a long time without getting a response, Luo Bai completely lost his mind on the hospital bed.
"Aaaaaah... Why, why has the whole world abandoned me! I'm clearly the protagonist of this world, why!" Luo Bai's screams and roars startled the people in the same ward.
He climbed off the bed barefoot, limped to the window, and burst into laughter. His face contorted with rage, he yelled out the window, "Impossible! This world is mine... They should all be chasing after me, fawning over me!"
"Doctor, come quick! Someone here has gone mad!"
"Holy crap, is this guy out of his mind...?"
"Damn it, how did I end up in the same room as this person! Nurse, I want to change rooms, or at least get rid of this guy! He's terrifying!"
Because of Luo Bai's sudden outburst, the doctors immediately rushed forward to restrain him, the nurses quickly calmed him down, and then he was rushed to the psychiatric ward and given a private room.
After watching the video of Luo Bai's outburst, the psychiatrists decided to observe him for another week before determining whether he truly suffered from mental illness.
After observing for several days, they discovered that Luo Bai didn't sleep at night and kept calling out "250," while during the day he went crazy, saying he was the protagonist of a novel and that no one should offend him! Otherwise, they would have to atone with their deaths!
He would even frequently run to the window and say he wanted to receive signals from his system, his actions resembling those of someone contemplating suicide.
Finally, the psychiatrists unanimously determined that Luo Bai was a mental patient.
Unable to contact his relatives, the hospital decided to temporarily send him to a mental hospital.
Luo Beishi laughed so hard his stomach hurt while watching the surveillance footage, thinking that was the end of it, but little did he know that more coincidences were yet to come.
When Qu Wanying spotted an old acquaintance in the mental hospital, she was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, her hair had been cut short, and her face had more wrinkles. She grinned and laughed out loud, "Hahahaha... Luo Bai, hahahaha... I must be crazy to see my precious son here, hahahaha."
She walked towards Luo Bai step by step, her smile resembling that of a female murderer.
Luo Bai quickly took a few steps back, but the doctor behind him said, "You two still know each other?"
Qu Wanying said with a smile, "Yes, I know her. She's my son."
Doctor: "..." This woman keeps calling out for her son, so she actually summoned him in?
Luo Bai, this new patient really is named Luo Bai.
Luo Bai immediately hid behind the doctor. "Uncle Doctor, she, she wants to kill me... Get her away!"
The doctor sighed. "No wonder he's a mental patient. He's even putting on an act. Just a moment ago he was fearless, thinking he was the only one who mattered in the world, and now he's afraid of his own mother?"
Qu Wanying suddenly sped up and jumped in front of the doctor, turning her head to look at Luo Bai hiding behind him. "Gotcha, my darling son, hehe..."
Luo Bai was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell to the ground, her lips trembling. "Don't come any closer... You're not my mother, get out of here! Ahhhhh!"
