After everyone was seated, the waiters from the club brought out various red wines, beers, and fruit platters.

When they saw the red wine, the knowledgeable boys immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"My God! It's actually imported brand-name red wine, and it costs over a thousand yuan per bottle!"

Hearing this, the other students were all taken aback, realizing just how important Zhang Dong was!

Chen Hao came to the club and was still boasting about drinking beer that cost a few dozen yuan per bottle.

But what about Zhang Dong?

The club directly served him red wine that cost a thousand yuan per bottle!

"Everyone, have fun today, drink as much as you want, and choose whatever drinks you like," Zhang Dong announced with a smile.

Everyone immediately cheered, and they all drank and sang to their hearts' content.

Of course, the most attention was on Zhang Dong, Wang Lei, and Li Menglin, who sat together, becoming the focus of the entire venue.

Classmates came over one by one to toast or say flattering words, which made Wang Lei beam with joy.

After a while, Wang Lei suddenly stood up and whispered to Zhang Dong.

"Dongzi, I'm going to sing with Lin Xiaohua. It's a good opportunity for you and Li Menglin, so you better take advantage of it!"

As he spoke, Wang Lei winked at Zhang Dong and gave Li Menglin a mischievous look.

This made Li Menglin's face turn bright red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look up.

Zhang Dong also felt very awkward, wanting to tell Li Menglin not to take Wang Lei's words seriously, but he didn't know how to say it.

On the other hand, Wang Lei was already chatting with Lin Xiaohua, and they were even clinking beer glasses and drinking together.

Clearly, as Zhang Dong's best friend, Wang Lei's status had greatly increased, and his dream girl had also changed her opinion of him.

"Cough, Li Menglin, don't take Wang Lei's words seriously! He was just talking nonsense!" Zhang Dong cleared his throat and said.

Li Menglin looked up, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her beautiful eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"I know! So I didn't take it seriously!" Li Menglin smiled.

But Zhang Dong felt that she seemed a bit unhappy.

Sure enough, for the rest of the time, Li Menglin was not in high spirits, not singing and hardly speaking.

Zhang Dong didn't know what was wrong and didn't feel comfortable asking.

Thus, the classmates enjoyed the afternoon.

When it was nearly five o'clock, Zhang Dong checked the time, felt it was about right, and got up to announce the end of the party.

Although many classmates were still reluctant to leave, since Zhang Dong had spoken, they naturally didn't dare to disobey.

The classmates said their goodbyes to Zhang Dong and left in groups, leaving only Zhang Dong and Li Menglin, as well as Wang Lei and Lin Xiaohua.

To be fair, Wang Lei had made great progress recently. He chatted with Lin Xiaohua all afternoon and even sang two duets, and their relationship progressed rapidly.

Although Lin Xiaohua wasn't as beautiful as Li Menglin, she was still above average among ordinary people, and she was a perfect match for Wang Lei.

"Dongzi, I'll take Xiaohua home first! You should also play the role of a gentleman and take our class beauty home!" Wang Lei patted Zhang Dong's shoulder and said.

After saying this, he winked at Zhang Dong with an ambiguous expression and left with Lin Xiaohua, leaving Zhang Dong and Li Menglin alone in the private room.

Under the dim lighting, the atmosphere became ambiguous with just the two of them, a man and a woman.

Li Menglin's face had turned red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhang Dong.

Zhang Dong didn't know what to say. Just as he was about to offer to take her home, Li Menglin's phone rang.

After answering the call and hearing what the other person said, Li Menglin's expression changed instantly.

"What? My mom had a cerebral thrombosis and was rushed to the hospital? Which hospital? Okay! I'll be there right away!"

After hanging up, Li Menglin's voice was already tinged with sobs.

"Zhang Dong, my mom suddenly had a cerebral thrombosis and is now being treated at the county hospital!"

Zhang Dong was shocked: "What are you waiting for? Let's go to the county hospital right away!"

The situation was urgent, and Zhang Dong didn't have time to explain to Manager Xu. He could only give a brief explanation and then hurriedly left the club with Li Menglin.

There were many taxis at the club entrance, and the two of them got in and rushed to the county hospital.

The taxi driver was very kind. Upon learning that Li Menglin's mother was being treated, he didn't hesitate and drove as fast as possible to the county hospital.

Upon arriving at the county hospital, Li Menglin was completely panicked, unable to find the direction or the emergency room.

Fortunately, Zhang Dong was there. He helped Li Menglin contact the neighbor who had called, and they quickly found the emergency room.

At the entrance of the emergency room, Li Menglin's neighbor aunt was waiting anxiously.

Seeing Li Menglin, she quickly walked over with a bright look in her eyes.

"Menglin, your mom came home just now and was chatting with me when she said she felt dizzy. I helped her lie down, but she suddenly fainted. I called the emergency number and found out it was a cerebral thrombosis."

Hearing this, Li Menglin's face turned pale, and her eyes were filled with tears: "Aunt, how is my mom now?"

The neighbor aunt shook her head: "I don't know yet. We'll just have to wait!"

Thus, the three of them waited at the entrance of the emergency room for about ten minutes.

Suddenly, the emergency room door opened, and several nurses pushed out a gurney with a middle-aged woman lying on it, who bore a striking resemblance to Li Menglin.

Seeing the middle-aged woman, Li Menglin immediately cried and rushed over.

"Mom!"

The neighbor aunt asked the nurse: "Nurse, how is the patient? Was the surgery successful?"

From inside the operating room, a low voice replied: "I'm sorry! The patient's cerebral thrombosis was too severe. Although the surgery was successful, she still hasn't regained consciousness! The family... prepare to see the patient one last time!"

Upon hearing this, the neighbor aunt was stunned, and Li Menglin was sobbing uncontrollably on her mother's body.

Zhang Dong frowned and glanced at the direction of the operating room. The voice seemed familiar!

Soon, the doctor who spoke came out. Although he was wearing a surgical cap and mask, Zhang Dong immediately recognized him as Meng Lei, whom he had met at a drinking party before!

Meng Lei also recognized Zhang Dong, first looking surprised, then full of anger.

"You little brat, you actually dare to come here!"

Zhang Dong snorted: "Why shouldn't I come? Is the county hospital your family's business?"

After a pause, Zhang Dong asked: "Meng Lei, is what you said true? Aunt Li really couldn't be saved?"

"Of course!" Meng Lei sneered. "I'm at a loss, but you claim to be a miraculous doctor. If you're so capable, save her!"

Zhang Dong looked down at Li Menglin's mother, who was barely breathing, and then at Li Menglin, who was sobbing uncontrollably. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face.
