The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chapter 38: Shang Yujin

Jian Dan was now completely won over by him. Jian Dan was very strong to begin with. After all, her IQ of 140 was not to be underestimated. However, in front of Chu Liyuan, she was nothing.

Very good, this lass finally knew what handsome was. Not bad!

…

The next day, Jian Dan noticed Mei Xiaolin's assistant hiding in the stairwell again at noon.

She had specially brought lunch boxes from home today, and she had deliberately brought a lot. She wanted to say that she could not finish them and then invite her to eat, so that it would not be too obvious.

Jian Dan had just pushed open the door to the stairwell when she saw the girl running downstairs in a panic with an anxious expression on her face… She lost her balance and fell on her butt on the steps. Fortunately, her hand was holding onto the railing. Otherwise…

"Are you okay?"

Jian Dan immediately ran to her and helped her up.

"I'm fine!"

The girl wanted to get up, but she was a little powerless. After all, she fell really hard just now.

"Don't be in a hurry to get up. Rest a while first."

This girl was too headstrong! She did not even care about her own body.

"No, I have to get to the hospital now."

The hospital called her just now and said that something had happened to her mother.

Although Jian Dan was not very familiar with her, she had interacted with her a few times. This girl had always been very tenacious. When had she ever looked so flustered? Something serious must have happened.

"I'll send you there!"

All Jian Dan could do now was to send her over…

The two of them arrived at the hospital very quickly. The girl actually rushed to a ward with ease. The doctor was giving emergency treatment.

She was like a cat on a hot tin roof, unable to sit still.

"Who's inside?"

From the expression on the girl's face, Jian Dan could tell that the person inside must be very important to her.

"It's my mother."

So it was her mother. No wonder…

Waiting was really very agonizing. 20 minutes felt like 20 centuries.

Finally, after the doctor's efforts, her mother was out of the woods…

"The patient's condition has stabilized for the time being. Can you go and pay the fees?"

The nurse handed the bill to the girl.

Looking at the figure on it, the girl clearly looked troubled.

Jian Dan noticed it, and she immediately guessed it…

"Let's go see your mother first!"

Only then did the girl come back to her senses and go to the ward to check on her mother.

A woman in her forties was lying on the bed. Her face was pale, and her eyes were closed. She had yet to wake up.

She casually placed the bill on the table beside her and sat beside her mother. She looked at her mother with red, swollen eyes.

Jian Dan took the bill when she was not paying attention… "I'm going to the restroom. I'll be right back!"

Jian Dan quickly left the ward…

She asked for the location of the payment office and paid the bill.

Jian Dan was on her way back when she bumped into the girl.

The two of them went to the bench outside the hospital…

"Thank you!"

The girl spoke first.

"No worries!"

"Do you know my name? I'm Shang Yujin!"

"I'm Jian Dan."

Shang Yujin finally let down her guard and told Jian Dan her story.

Shang Yujin's greatest dream was to become an actress. Hence, she had always been working hard for it. Finally, she had a chance. A film crew went to her school for casting and she was very lucky to be chosen. She even signed a contract with Xingyao Entertainment. However, she never expected that the vice president of Xingyao Entertainment would have ulterior motives towards her and wanted to sleep with her.

Even though Shang Yujin craved success, she had her bottom line. She would never sell herself to achieve success.

Because of this, she offended the vice president and was given the cold shoulder at work. She had signed a contract, so she would have to pay compensation if she terminated the contract. She could not afford that at all.

At this juncture, her mother was diagnosed with kidney failure and needed a lot of money to pay for the medical fees. However, the money she earned as an assistant was only the tip of the iceberg of the medical fees. Although she lived frugally every day, it was still difficult for her to even pay for the medical fees.

If they found a suitable kidney donor for her, the cost of the surgery would be even higher. The medical fees alone were overwhelming as it was now. She could not afford the surgery.

However, her mother was her only family, so she had to treat her no matter what.

Because Mei Xiaolin gave a high salary, she had to put up with Mei Xiaolin. She needed this salary to pay for her mother's medical expenses.

The mystery was finally solved…

This was how cruel society was nowadays. There was a price for everything, so many people used this to achieve their own ulterior motives. There were many unspoken rules!

Jian Dan was very impressed that Shang Yujin did not sell herself to achieve her goal. After all, how many people would be able to do this nowadays.

Now that the two of them were considered friends, Jian Dan would definitely do her best to help her.
