Chapter 545: Chapter 545: She Fainted _1

Shi Qian had previously been harshly admonished by Bo Jingyan, and thus did not dare to seek him out.

The only person she could turn to was Bo’s mother.

When she arrived in Bo’s mother’s room, the older woman had just recently awakened and was applying her makeup in front of a mirror.

Suppressing her anxiety, she courteously greeted Bo’s mother, "Good morning, Mother Bo..."

Mother Bo’s face was still somewhat pale, her countenance carried an air of weariness, yet she forced a smile onto her face, responding, "Hmm, what’s with you getting up so early, Couldn’t you have slept a bit longer?"

With her own issues weighing on her mind, Shi Qian completely missed the pallor of the older woman’s complexion.

Having no patience to indulge Mother Bo in irrelevant conversation, she quickly got to the point, "Mother Bo, I heard you weren’t feeling well last night. When I came to see you, I saw Brother Jingyan."

At the mention of last night’s events, Mother Bo’s expression turned gloomy.

However, she showed no sign of discomfort but responded casually, "Hmm, he did indeed come over last night."

"So, is my issue resolved? Can I make my comeback at any time?" Shi Qian’s eyes instantly lit up as she asked anxiously.

Mother Bo did not respond, but fell silent instead.

"Mother Bo, why aren’t you responding?" Shi Qian asked anxiously.

Mother Bo did not pick up on her cue, but instead suggested another course of action, "Qianqian, why don’t you come abroad with me? If you like acting, I can send you to Hollywood. The endpoint of a domestic star’s struggle can merely be your starting point."

She had seriously considered this.

Given Bo Jingyan’s firm stance, convincing him to change his mind would be difficult.

Although she had some connections left from the many years she spent in A City, they were nothing compared to Bo Jingyan. If he refused to budge, she couldn’t do anything about it.

Therefore, she wanted to take Shi Qian abroad to further her career. In this way, not only could Shi Qian achieve her dream, but it would also prevent her from making any more mistakes.

She had figured it out. Bo Jingyan was a ruthless man who often disregarded even her, his mother’s, face. If Shi Qian made another mistake, she might not be able to protect her.

Shi Qian’s face immediately changed.

If she really pursued a career overseas, she’d be thousands of miles away from Bo Jingyan, perhaps only able to see him once a year at best. How could she conquer Bo Jingyan under such circumstances?

She desired a career, but she also dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family, becoming a lady of high society.

That’s what Shi Qian thought inwardly, but she didn’t voice these thoughts directly.

She lowered her eyes to hide her emotions and said softly, "I’m unfamiliar with life abroad, I’m scared. I don’t want to go, I want to stay in my home country."

Upon hearing this, Mother Bo said nothing more.

As much as Shi Qian didn’t want to leave, she couldn’t just tie her with a rope and haul her away.

Seeing her silence, Shi Qian grew anxious, because the answer she sought was still eluding her.

"Mother Bo, when can I return to the film set?" she asked again.

Mother Bo shook her head, "Not for the time being!"

"Why?" Shi Qian asked incredulously.

Upon realizing that she intended to press the matter, Mother Bo revealed her previous conversation with Bo Jingyan, "In any case, he’s not willing to let it go, so you can’t return to the entertainment industry."

"How can this be?" Shi Qian’s eyes reddened instantly, she asked helplessly, "What am I supposed to do now? Do I truly have to give up my career? Because I really don’t want to."

"Wait a little longer, I will find a way." Mother Bo could only comfort her for the time being.

Shi Qian didn’t listen, she knelt down by her mother’s side and implored, "Mother Bo, I don’t want to wait any longer. Please help me find a solution."

Mother Bo, herself still not fully recovered, was overwhelmed by Shi Qian’s incessant pleading. The headache she had just managed to ease returned with a vengeance.

She held her aching forehead with her hand and said weakly, "Qianqian, my head hurts. Please, leave the room and let me rest a bit. I will think of a solution later."

Shi Qian believed this was just an excuse to get rid of her, that she didn’t want to help her.

Not only did she not leave, she became even more insistent, "Mother Bo, help me, don’t chase me away, both my mother and I have saved your life."

Bo’s mother was so flustered by her that she could hardly breathe.

"Ying, Ying Jie..." she called out, clutching her chest, before blacking out and collapsing.

Shi Qian was completely taken aback by what she saw.

She didn’t understand how Mother Bo could suddenly faint when she seemed perfectly fine.

It took quite some time for her to finally recover.

"Help..." she ran out of Bo’s mother’s room, bumping into Ying Jie, who had heard the commotion and come to investigate, at the door.

Falling to the floor, Shi Qian remained there for a while, completely disoriented.

Ying Jie also stumbled slightly, but managed to keep her balance.

She stepped forward to help Shi Qian up, asking, "Miss Shi Qian, what happened? What’s wrong?"

Shi Qian rose from the floor, pointing in fright towards the room where Mother Bo was, and said, "Mother Bo, she... I don’t know what happened, she just fainted suddenly."

Upon hearing this, Ying Jie was deeply alarmed and immediately rushed into the room, without sparing another glance towards Shi Qian.

Entering the room, she immediately saw the unconscious Mother Bo. Having cared for her for many years, Ying Jie remained rather calm in the face of the situation.

First, she dialed for an ambulance on her phone.

Then, she began performing first aid on Mother Bo.

The private physician Bo Jingyan had assigned to care for Mother Bo at their old house, also rushed over with his medical box, joining Ying Jie in providing emergency aid.

Soon, Mother Bo regained consciousness.

Although she was still very weak and lacked the strength to speak, the fact that she woke up relieved Ying Jie and the doctor greatly. At least she was no longer in immediate danger.

Before long, the ambulance arrived.

Mother Bo was rushed to the hospital. After some thought, Shi Qian followed. She had to ensure that Mother Bo was safe and sound.

Not that she cared about Mother Bo’s health, but rather because Mother Bo was currently her only support.

Despite the fact that Mother Bo had not successfully facilitated her return to the limelight, if anything were to happen to her, Shi Qian’s hopes of a comeback would be thoroughly dashed. Not to mention, the billions in penalty fees would bankrupt her.

Therefore, on the way to the hospital, she prayed constantly, hoping for Mother Bo to be alright.

Every moment inside that ambulance felt like an eternity.

After what felt like forever, the ambulance finally pulled to a stop – they had arrived at the hospital.

Mother Bo was wheeled into a treatment room.

The doctor performed a thorough check, concluding that Mother Bo fainted due to stress and emotional turmoil – some rest and a reprieve from stimulation would be sufficient for her recovery.

Upon hearing this, Shi Qian heaved a deep sigh of relief.
