At this moment, two people who had just been discharged from the hospital were standing on the steps. To be precise, the doctor did not discharge them, but Ji Nian and He Yi did not have enough money in their pockets to pay the medical fees.
They were standing in front of the hospital entrance in a daze. Ji Nian glanced at He Yi, who had a calm expression, and the corner of her mouth twitched as she said, "Are you sure I'm a female celebrity?"
He Yi calmly said, "You're a female celebrity."
Ji Nian looked confused. She looked at the people coming and going in front of the hospital entrance, but no one took an extra glance at them. She asked doubtfully again, "Are you sure I'm a female celebrity?"
"Do you want me to say that your hot search is still trending on Weibo right now?" He Yi glanced over.
"But... I don't feel like anyone recognizes me..." Ji Nian was confused. What kind of female celebrity could openly stand in front of a hospital without a single person recognizing her?
"What are you thinking? Don't you have any idea about your own popularity?" He Yi was about to be angered to death. This girl had just tried to commit suicide and now she was acting stupid.
"Oh..."
"You debuted two years ago. I finally got you a supporting role recently, which I thought was a breakthrough, but at the critical moment, you were exposed." He Yi said with a pained expression.
"What should we do now?" Ji Nian asked.
I almost forgot. Ji Nian had debuted, but she hadn't become popular enough for everyone to recognize her. Now her career had completely cooled off and she was 10 million yuan in debt.
"Let's go back to your house to pack up your things and prepare to move out," He Yi said calmly, holding her bag.
"Why do I have to move?"
"How expensive is that little villa of yours? The monthly rent is over 30,000 yuan. You relied entirely on Cheng Liran giving you 100,000 yuan a month, and you spent it all on luxury goods," He Yi said impatiently.
"I don't have a single penny?!" Ji Nian exclaimed in shock.
"What money do you have? Aside from using your face to shoot magazines and act as an extra, what other income do you have?" He Yi asked.
"I don't know..." Ji Nian had a mournful look. Having transmigrated here, she had no memories at all.
"Let's go," He Yi also looked hopeless. Holding her bag, she walked forward in high heels.
Ji Nian watched her leave and hurried to catch up.
"You know, you've shown your face on TV before, so some people recognize you. But now that your career has cooled off, there's no need to put on the airs of a celebrity. As long as people don't throw eggs at you on the street, that's good enough," He Yi nagged all the way.
"Yes, yes." Ji Nian nodded.
"It was so difficult to get you that supporting role. Even a third female lead would have been good," He Yi lamented.
Since Ji Nian had just arrived and didn't understand much, she asked, "He Yi, why was I dating Cheng Liran? He's a popular rising actor now."
"You're asking me? How would I know about your own affairs?" He Yi rolled her eyes at her. She had an expression of looking at an idiot. Great, this girl's mind was not clear either.
Ji Nian didn't dare ask any more questions. She didn't even dare to face He Yi's black face.
When they returned to the small villa, He Yi was cleaning up the house. She saw that the bathroom was covered in blood stains, and the bathtub was full of bloody water. The entire bathroom reeked of the smell of blood.
She looked complicatedly at the girl who was still picking up clothes outside the door. Her eyes brimmed with tears as she reached out to pull the plug in the bathtub so the water gradually drained out.
"Don't move out there! Just sit down and rest properly. I'll take care of this!" He Yi yelled loudly.
Ji Nian was stunned. Feeling a little dizzy, she went to sit down on the sofa.
She picked up her phone next to her and opened Weibo. A video caught her attention and she clicked to watch it.
The video showed two women standing at the hospital entrance. One of them was still wearing patient clothing and looked pale from afar.
The title read: Cheng Liran's ex-girlfriend, Z-list celebrity Ji Nian, at hospital entrance, suspected suicide attempt?
"Wow," Ji Nian said in surprise. Finally, she had some semblance of a celebrity. This is it. She had been caught on camera going to the hospital.
The next videos were even more outrageous. There was also footage of her and He Yi getting on a bus. The comments below were all from netizens.
"A celebrity riding the bus?"
"Hahahaha, why do I find her confused expression a bit cute??? Am I crazy?"
"Wait, why does she have a piece of gauze wrapped around her head? Did she hit a wall trying to commit suicide?"
At this time, Ji Nian, who was silently reading the comments, touched her forehead and saw the broken pieces of a floor lamp not far from her feet. She had knocked it over when she fainted...
"Trash Ji Nian, get out of the entertainment industry!"
"It's obvious Cheng Liran already broke up with her peacefully. She's the one who kept clinging to him, and now she's trying to play the victim?"
"I think the suicide attempt is fake. You can see she deliberately showed the gauze on her wrist."
"People nowadays will do anything for eyeballs."
Seeing that the comments below were all cursing her, Ji Nian simply stopped reading. She opened her WeChat contacts, which had very few people - only two: He Yi and Cheng Liran.
Cheng Liran's chat was pinned at the top. When she opened it, a sudden pain in her chest almost made her pass out again. Her face was anguished as she gasped for breath until it gradually eased a little. She was confused in her heart - what was going on?
As she slowly read through the man's chat records, her heart ached more and more.
"We were just a contractual couple. I hope you can let go in a timely manner."
"We agreed from the beginning that we could end things."
Seeing this, Ji Nian felt suffocated by the pain and passed out. Before she lost consciousness, an unfamiliar man's face somehow appeared in her mind.
He Yi came out from the bathroom with red eyes after finishing cleaning everything up. She picked up the scattered clothes on the floor and saw the trail of blood splatters along the way. Looking at the woman leaning against the sofa, she said, "You're so comfortable while I clean up your mess."
Seeing that the woman did not respond, He Yi walked over with red eyes to check on her. Seeing her complexion, could she have fallen asleep?
"Ji Nian?" He Yi pushed her but got no reaction. She then recalled that the woman had lost too much blood today and was indeed tired. She took the blanket from the sofa and covered her with it.
That night, Ji Nian woke up from hunger. When she woke up, her whole body felt weak and her face was deathly pale. She smelled a scent of food and turned to see through the glass door that He Yi was busy working away in the kitchen.
"He Yi, smells so good!" Ji Nian said, standing at the kitchen door.
"You're awake? Hurry and come eat. I simmered chicken soup to replenish your energy and blood," He Yi said with a smile. She carried a bowl of soup over and set it down on the dining table.
"Okay." Ji Nian responded with a smile and sat down at the table. She blew on the soup and took a sip with the spoon. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Delicious!"
"Of course! My cooking skills." He Yi said proudly.
Seeing that the woman across from her was sincerely drinking the soup, she picked up her phone to browse Weibo and said in surprise, "Ji Nian, we got caught on camera going to the hospital."
"I know," Ji Nian busily drank her soup and briefly responded.
"Tsk, the comments are quite nasty," He Yi frowned.
