" Dear, I created a mess again, Will you blame me.", She asked coquettishly. He destroyed the evidence without saying a word. "Dear, I slapped that woman. She said she will ban me from the industry. Will my career be really over this time?", She asked worriedly. He established an entertainment company exclusively for her. "You know what, Someone called you an old man... Hahaha, Are you? You can't perform well?", She ranted and mocked him. But ended up not being able to move from bed. "I don't feel like going out, Don't go to work. Accompany me.

Upon seeing them, She ran and hide behind him like a child and began to cry, "Darling, Don't let them come near me. They are here to kidnap me. If you don't protect me, You will lose your wife."

You earned my co-operation, Miss Zhan
The room was steeped in the soft glow of the evening light as the old lady, Sister Fu Xi, settled back into her chair with a gentle grace. The air was filled with the murmur of the home's residents, a comforting backdrop to the conversation at hand. Doctor Rang, the newcomer with a heart full of questions, waited eagerly for the answers that would unravel the mystery of Miss Zhan.
When the old lady sat back on the chair. "So, Little Xiang, What are you guys talking about? ", The old lady asked.
"Sister Fu xi, Doctor Rang wants to know about Miss Zhan.", Aunt Xiang summarized it.
The old lady's smile was like a warm embrace, inviting and open. "Doctor Rang, so what exactly do you want to know?" she inquired, her eyes twinkling with the wisdom of years gone by.
"Aunty???", Dr. Rang who didn't know how to address the old lady passed for a second. When the old lady nodded, "Aunty, who is Miss Zhan? Aunty Xiang told me she is not from your village. Then why does she care for you this much?" Doctor Rang's question was laced with genuine curiosity and a desire to understand the bond that tied Miss Zhan to this place.
"I guess you have heard from Little Xiang that we too know too little about her. All we know is that she is from the city." Sister Fu Xi's response painted a picture of a young woman whose spirit transcended the boundaries of the ordinary. "She came looking for Yin Yang Hua," she began, her voice carrying the reverence of someone speaking of a cherished memory. "At first, no one was welcoming towards her except for Little Kuang. He treated her like a family. She also treats them as her own family. Soon, she proved us wrong through her action. And when she saw that we were in trouble, she didn't hesitate to help us. If you ask why she will just say 'We all are her people and we never get what she means by that.' No one had ever understood her view of family. When she first came she seemed carefree and a little mischievous. When she saw that we have our suffering, she turned into a different person. She worked so hard to help us and we are grateful to her for that. And these people call her the Samaritan who our ancestors sent. If she listens to these words, she will be furious. But She is just a little girl with a good upbringing.", The old woman said with a smile.
"Aunty FuXi, You never wondered or asked about her family or about what she does?", Doctor Rang asked.
Doctor Rang's inquiry about Miss Zhan's family was met with a touch of sadness. "We asked sometimes, but it saddened her. As for what she does, she tells stories," Sister Fu Xi revealed, her words leaving Doctor Rang with more questions than answers.
Aunt Xiang clarified, "She is an Actress," a revelation that seemed to fit the enigmatic Miss Zhan perfectly.
"Oh", Rang Wen Xuan who understood reacted. After a little pass, "Aunty Fu Xi, I know I am disturbing you guys late at night, I am sorry for that. Can you tell me what was the problem she helped you with and what happened to these people to have all these Acute radiation syndromes, I mean all these ailments?"
"That will take some time to tell you all about it. Is that okay for Doctor Rang?" Zi Fu Xi asked while looking out at the dark side. When she turned around, She received a nod from the young woman before her.
As the night deepened, Doctor Rang sought to understand the ailments that plagued the residents, the Acute radiation syndromes that hinted at a darker past. Sister Fu Xi agreed to share the tale, a story that would require time and patience to fully comprehend.
The sky brightened in just a few seconds after the large ball of fire, ascended the sky in the east scaring the drifting Fog that was wandering since nightfall. The birds began to chirp to do away with the laziness of their sleep.
While all the creatures living in Ming Hua Shan mountain are ready to start their new day, the residing people are busy bidding goodbye to the people who are taking their leave. When everyone bid goodbye while receiving some naggy advice from the young woman while a little girl nodded to her words and imitated her actions from behind, a woman who was still feeling sleepy made her way through the crowd.
Doctor Rang approached Miss Zhan, seeking a moment of her time. "Miss Zhan, can I have a word with you?" she asked, her voice steady despite the early hour.
"Yes," Miss Zhan replied, instructing Chun Xuan to wait in the car before following Doctor Rang to a quiet spot away from the crowd.
"So, what is it you want to talk about, Doctor Rang?" Miss Zhan inquired, her gaze direct and expectant.
Doctor Rang extended her hand, a gesture of partnership and commitment. "Miss Zhan, I now know what I should do here. I wish we will have good cooperation," she stated, her voice firm with resolve.
Miss Zhan regarded the extended hand, her expression unreadable for a moment. "Doctor Rang, I care you explain the phrase you just uttered," she prompted.
Doctor Rang clarified her intentions, pledging her support in treating the residents and promising to follow Miss Zhan's instructions to the letter.
Miss Zhan's smile was a rare sight, one that spoke volumes of her approval. "You enquired about me, didn't you?" she asked, her tone light yet carrying an undercurrent of seriousness. "Don't take their words too seriously. This is your field of expertise. Take care of them on my behalf."
With that, Miss Zhan withdrew her hand from the handshake, leaving Doctor Rang with a sense of purpose and a newfound respect for the woman who had become the cornerstone of Ming Hua Shan. As the day began, Doctor Rang knew that her journey at the mountain home was just beginning, and that her partnership with Miss Zhan would be the key to unlocking the healing and hope that the residents so desperately needed. The chapter closed with a promise of collaboration, a shared mission to bring light to the lives touched by darkness, and a story of compassion that would continue to unfold with each new dawn.
