Chapter Ten: The Mother of the Hospital

  Mom is fine...

  Meng Qi's words made Chen Yi Xuan's hanging heart slightly relaxed.

  "Little Xiao!"

  "I'm fine..."

  I don't know if it's because I'm too worried about my mother or because I ran all the way here and caught a chill. Chen Yixuan only felt dizzy, her body suddenly feeling a bit weak, almost unable to stand up straight, and was supported by Mengqi.

  "Director Chen, don't worry about my mother's matter, I will take care of it personally, no need for you to trouble yourself."

  Chen Yixuan stood silently outside the door for a while, gazing through the glass window at her mother who was still fast asleep inside. She spoke softly. Chen Shaoqing, standing beside her, heard this and suddenly felt his whole body trembling with rage, but he couldn't say anything.

  "After all, we don't have any relationship now, do we?"

  “……”

  "Meng Qi, take a good look and teach this shameless daughter of mine!"

  After finishing speaking, Chen Shaoqing no longer paid attention to his daughter Chen Yixuan, and directly threw a dozen dollars from the bag onto Chen Yixuan's body. Then, without even turning his head back, he walked out of the hospital.

  Looking at the red banknotes scattered all over her body and on the ground, Chen Yixuan's eyes turned red and hot.

  Dimly lit are those things that one would spare no expense and risk everything to earn.

  "Kaya..."

  Looking at Chen Yixuan's trembling back, Meng Qi only felt heartache. Knowing that Chen Yixuan was suppressing a huge sorrow, but she just shook her head innocently towards Meng Qi and bent down to pick up the money on the ground that had been completely trampled on with no dignity left.

  "...Anyway, this money is still useful for mom, isn't it?"

  The calmness between words made Meng Qi worried a bit afterwards.

  When Xiaoxuan was less than three years old, her parents divorced. The power of Xiaosan has been fulfilled, and this poor mother and daughter have been dependent on each other until now.

  Anyway, as expected, Koharu still can't forgive her father...

  Is it going to do such things and participate in such programs just to become famous and make money?

  "Sister... I'm really that kind of woman who would do anything for money and wouldn't care about losing face, right?"

  "Kaya..."

  “……”

  With her back to Miao Qi, she couldn't see the expression on Chen Yi Xuan's face at this time. However, even though she appeared to be very nonchalant about her own father, Miao Qi was very clear that every single word of Chen Yi Xuan's father had struck a chord in Chen Yi Xuan's heart.

  How strong is Xiao Xuan's mental state? Even going so far as to make money in this way?

  Meng Qi still can't forget the scene where Xiao Xuan, at the age of nine, cried and begged her father and mother to get back together, a childish yet heart-wrenching moment.

  However, it was that one time when her father's ruthlessness and the slap made Chen Yixuan never mention her own father again. Instead, she used this way to make a name for herself and earn money to prove that she could live better without her father's protection, making her aunt live a better life, but...

  Is this really what Xiaoxuan has in mind?

  "If I see you again, will there still be feelings? The more innocent and pure the face is, the more innocent and pure it is..."

  At this time, Chen Yixuan's mobile phone in her backpack started ringing with a pleasant and dazzling ringtone. Without thinking, Chen Yixuan already knew who was calling.

  Suddenly left Beidong Yaochuan's home without warning, didn't even say goodbye to his agent. Now, Lu Yu is probably furious...

  Chen Yixuan thought so, looking at the incoming call display on her phone, it was indeed Lu Yu. Without thinking much, Chen Yixuan still picked up the phone.

  "Lu Yu, I'm sorry..."

  “……”

  There was no sound on the other end of the phone.

  "After all, I'm still not suitable to be a star. Even if it's that one episode of the midnight variety show you put in so much effort to help me with, I..."

  “……”

  "I still like the ordinary me, even if I really want to be famous and make money to cure my mother's illness. So, sorry, Lu Yu, I don't want to be a star anymore..."

  “……”

  "I'm sorry about what happened with Hokuto Yōkawa."

  "Is an apology enough?"

  "Lu Yu?"

  Chen Yixuan was stunned for a moment, looked at her phone screen, and it was indeed Lu Yu! But...

  Why is Beidao Yaocang's voice coming from Luyu's phone?!

  "Deal with Beitang Yaocan and you must complete it!"

  "Brother Bei, Mr. Beidong, I..."

  "Beep beep beep..."

  Before Chen Yixuan could finish speaking, the other end had already hung up the phone. Chen Yixuan didn't understand what Beidang Yaochuan meant by his last sentence, was it that she still needed to use her own body to trade for her dreams?

  “……”

  Bei Tang Yaochuan hung up the phone and handed it to Lu Yu beside him. Lin Shichen didn't obediently listen to Bei Tang Yaochuan's words and leave, running into Lu Yu crying here wasn't anything unusual.

  It was just Chen Yixuan's words on the phone that made Beidong Yaochuan, who had originally planned to let it go, suddenly have a thought of not wanting to let go.

  "Master Beidong, I'm deeply sorry about what happened with Chen Yixuan! I'll go find her right now and have her come back to apologize to you!"

  “……”

  Bei Tang Yaochuan turned his head and glanced at Lu Yu, then just smiled slightly, exceptionally charming.

  "Then I'll trouble you."

  ……

  "The patient has had a fourth sudden cerebral embolism, fortunately it was sent in time and the neurovascular is not blocked."

  "Hmm..."

  In the hospital corridor, Chen Yixuan and the doctor in charge stood outside her mother's ward, where her mother was still asleep.

  Chen Yixuan turned her head and looked at her mother through the glass, then turned back to face the doctor.

  "This illness... is it really incurable?"

  "This illness is actually not a big deal if you say it's small, but if you say it's big, it's laughable. If we want to completely cure it, I think it's probably impossible domestically. The patient has just stabilized and still needs to be hospitalized for observation for a period of time. I suggest that you let your mother handle the long-term hospitalization procedures at the hospital and have regular check-ups. This illness gets worse with each episode. If discovered in time, it can be suppressed, but if it's slightly late, like today's situation, it's probably not optimistic..."

  "......Uh-huh, I see, I'll go take care of it now, thank you, doctor......"

  Kaya...

  Meng Qi, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two people all along, felt heartbroken and didn't know what to say to Chen Yixuan.

  Now for Chen Yixuan, her mother is her only spiritual support. If her aunt passes away unexpectedly this time, it's really unknown whether Chen Yixuan can accept it or not.

  Even with her own help, it's still a drop in the bucket for Yixuan. Auntie needs to be hospitalized now, and the cost is a significant burden for Yixuan.

  However, Chen Yixuan's father who just arrived would definitely not lend a helping hand to the mother and daughter. Because, apart from their blood relationship, Mengqi couldn't see any paternal qualities in him at all. It's likely that since the day of their divorce, the relationship between the two had completely broken down.

  "Sister, does mom... know about that thing?"

  "...and this time, Auntie was also agitated and angry because of Uncle's sudden arrival, which triggered it. Before Uncle had a chance to talk to Auntie, she already didn't feel well, so they rushed her to the hospital."

  “……”

  Not beyond our expectations, this time it was indeed another good deed done by Father. Why can't he just give us mother and daughter a peaceful life!!!!

  "Sister, promise me, don't tell mom about this."

  "Hmm, but will you continue on this path of stardom?"

  "If necessary, I will..."

  "Kaya..."

  After a night of nursing in the hospital, her mother's condition finally stabilized. When Chen Yixuan returned to her own home, she was exhausted. As expected, Lu Yu had been waiting for her at the door of Chen Yixuan's house early on.

  Made a whole day's phone calls but no one answered, and finally it was turned off!

  Although Lu Yu was very angry, he also knew that Chen Yixuan was not a person who did things without a reason. If it wasn't for something important, she wouldn't have done this.

  Lu Yu was still a bit worried and came to Chen Yixuan's house. He slept in the car for one night and waited until morning to see Chen Yixuan.

  "…Lu Yu…"

  Seeing Lu Yu's somewhat haggard expression, Chen Yixuan knew that he must not have had a good rest last night either. After thinking about it all night, Chen Yixuan still decided to give up on this path to stardom.

  Even if I work harder and take on some part-time jobs, at least this way, my mother won't have a relapse because of this matter.

  "Xuan, where did you go tonight? You didn't even answer the phone. If you really think this won't work, then I'll think of another way!"

  “……”

  Lu Yu did not blame Chen Yixuan, but was full of worried tone. Chen Yixuan looked at Lu Yu and just smiled lightly and shook her head.

  "What's wrong?"

  "...... Lu Yu, I think, I really don't fit in this industry. The entertainment circle, it's not the world I should be living in..."

  "Why did I suddenly have this idea?"

  Lu Yu's haggard face, weak tone of voice, and dejected appearance made him lose the mood to continue this topic.

  "Never mind about that, didn't you stay up all night yesterday?"

  "......Well, my mother's illness suddenly relapsed again, I was in the hospital last night."

  "How is your aunt doing now?"

  "...has stabilized, but needs to be hospitalized for observation and treatment."

  "......en, na jiu hao, ni chi dong xi mei you?"

  Translation: "......well, that's good. Have you eaten anything?"

  “……”

  Chen Yixuan shook her head without appetite. Now Chen Yixuan's mind is very confused, just wanting to rest well and sleep for a while.

  Lu Yu didn't say anything either and just took Chen Yixuan back home.

  Looking at Chen Yixuan, who didn't even have the energy to speak, lying on the sofa with her eyes closed resting, Lu Yu held his phone, not knowing how to start explaining things to Bei Tang Yaochuan.

  Yesterday, I was comforting Lin Shi Chen outside Beidong Yaochuan's villa when we were coincidentally caught by Beidong Yaochuan. Lu Yu wasn't surprised about this because Beidong Yaochuan knew a lot about what had happened between him and Lin Shi Chen.
