A dowry of one billion, and I'll marry him!

She quickly picked up her phone and sent a message to Bai Nuannuan.

"Ring!" Bai Nuannuan's phone rang almost instantly.

Shi Yanxia was dumbfounded. She never expected that a popular young actress would have nothing better to do than stare at her phone all day.

"What fun thing is it?" Bai Nuannuan's excited voice came through.

Don't let her age fool you; she's 23, older than Shi Yanxia, ​​but she's still very childlike.

"Should we go to the hospital to see Shen Lianchu?" Shi Yanxia asked in a low voice.

Bai Nuannuan's eyes darted around, and she asked mysteriously, "Something's up?"

“Yes,” Shi Yanxia replied in a low voice.

She had barely finished speaking when she vaguely heard Bai Nuannuan jump out of bed. Before she could reply, Bai Nuannuan said, "I'll have someone check where she is and come pick you up right away."

She didn't care who was unlucky, but she loved to see Shen Lianchu suffer.

She's a master at kicking someone when they're down.

“No need to check, she’s in the hospital, at the People’s Hospital of Beijing,” Shi Yanxia said in a low voice.

Bai Nuannuan tossed her phone aside, and while changing her clothes, said, "Okay, I'll drive over to pick you up."

"No need, we'll meet at the hospital entrance," Shi Yanxia said softly.

Bai Nuannuan remained silent for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Should we call Zheng Jiao?"

“Okay.” Shi Yanxia nodded quickly.

We had originally planned to have dinner tomorrow, but unexpectedly it was moved up.

She got up, picked out a loose black T-shirt, paired it with cropped skinny jeans and a pair of nice sneakers, tied her hair up, and put on a baseball cap.

She carried a canvas bag that cost 9.9 yuan and walked quickly downstairs.

"Is the young mistress going out?" Butler Zhou asked, sitting on the sofa and sending a message.

Hearing the commotion upstairs, he quickly got up and respectfully went to greet them.

"I'm going out for a bit," Shi Yanxia said, picking up her car keys from the side and quickly walking outside, driving her BMW away.

The bodyguard stood outside the door, watching this scene unfold.

They quickly grabbed their phones and called Butler Zhou, saying, "Butler Zhou, the young mistress went out late at night. Should we follow her and protect her?"

"Then follow and protect her, but don't let her notice, lest she think the young master is spying on her," Butler Zhou said after a long silence.

Upon hearing his permission, the bodyguard immediately drove after him.

After all, Shen Zhinan had caused trouble here just two hours ago. If it weren't for them, they probably would have attacked Shi Yanxia.

In their eyes, Zhan Jinglin's tacit acceptance of the relationship meant that she was the true mistress, so everyone tacitly treated her as the mistress.

The Zhan family has been loyal for generations, so they naturally care about Shi Yanxia's safety.

Shi Yanxia was completely unaware of all this.

She drove to the People's Hospital of Beijing University of Technology. As soon as she parked, she saw Zheng Jiao standing under a street lamp in the distance. She was wearing a mask and looking up at the outside.

"Jiaojiao." Shi Yanxia walked quickly towards her.

When Zheng Jiao saw Shi Yanxia, ​​her eyes lit up and she quickly went up to hug her.

She hugged Shi Yanxia tightly, with a strong grip, as if she didn't want to let go.

"Hey, don't hug me all the way, leave some for me!" Bai Nuannuan had gotten out of the sports car at some point, and she shouted as she rushed forward and squeezed in.

After the three hugged for a while, Zheng Jiao's eyes welled up with tears.

"What happened?" Bai Nuannuan asked curiously, seeing her crying, she felt that something was wrong.

Zheng Jiao wiped away her tears before saying, "Luckily, Sister Shi had done a fortune telling for me beforehand and reminded me, otherwise I would have fallen into Chen Yuan's trap that day."

"After filming the variety show and returning to the company, I heard that Chen Yuan made a bet with others, saying that he could get some resources from Shen Lianchu by appearing on the show."

"Moreover, he made a betting agreement with someone else, essentially using me as a pawn, meaning he wanted to involve me in any illicit sexual encounters."

"He didn't like me at all; he treated all girls the same, always flirting with them. Several girls, like me, almost fell for it."

Zheng Jiao was furious when she said this.

To understand the unspoken rules of the industry, it's not as simple as just sleeping with someone.

Perhaps, the entire private room was filled with big shots, and you were the only woman at the table. Some perverts might make you take off your clothes and lie on the table.

These people play rock-paper-scissors or other games, and the things they do are a bit perverse.

Even worse, a group of people might do shady things to a woman in a private room, record the video, and then use the evidence to blackmail her, ruining her life.

"Fortunately, his scheme failed. He was arrested by the police immediately after disembarking. I heard he deliberately pushed you down the mountain and tried to lure me out, which constitutes intentional crime. He'll be in jail for at least three years."

"But Shen Lianchu wasn't implicated in this matter, partly because the Shen family pulled some strings behind the scenes, so she wasn't dragged into it," Zheng Jiao said through gritted teeth.

I had a pretty good impression of Shen Lianchu before; everyone said she was a nice person.

But after getting to know her, she realized what a "green tea bitch" really meant, and that perfectly described Shen Lianchu.

“By betraying Chen Yuan, you have saved me, but you have also put Chen Yuan in jail. The people behind him will definitely not let you off the hook,” Shi Yanxia said.

Zheng Jiao shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter. I've talked to the company. After the variety show is finished, I'll terminate the contract. At worst, I'll pay compensation."

“It’s better to start over than to be schemed against and manipulated,” Zheng Jiao said firmly.

Bai Nuannuan listened, gave her a thumbs up, and said, "Good job, you have guts, I like that."

"By the way, what are we doing at the hospital? Are we here to cause trouble for Shen Lianchu?" Zheng Jiao asked like a curious child.

Shi Yanxia remained silent, but Bai Nuannuan made a "shh" gesture to her. The three of them, wearing masks and hats, walked into the hospital and accurately found the VIP ward number.

"Ah, my face? My face!" Shen Lianchu went to the restroom.

She washed her face, looked up at herself in the mirror, and found that her skin was sallow, her eyes were lifeless, her eyelids had become single-layered, and she had also lost a lot of weight.

"How could this be? How could I have changed?" Shen Lianchu was terrified.

She quickly scooped up some water and splashed it onto the mirror, only to find that the same face was still reflected there.

"Impossible, it must be a hallucination," Shen Lianchu murmured, taking steps back before turning and walking outside.

She rushed out the door, ran outside, went to her mother's bedside, took her hand, and said, "Mom, look at my face, is there anything wrong?"

Shen's mother lay there, her broken leg aching after nightfall, and now her mouth was crooked from the fall. She had no mind to care about her.

"No, no problem," Shen's mother said dismissively.

Whenever she speaks, saliva drips down her face, soaking her pillow. The smell of her own saliva makes her feel nauseous.

“How could there be no problem? I just looked in the mirror,” Shen Lianchu murmured.

As she turned around, she saw the door to the ward, with three figures standing outside. Shen Lianchu's eyes widened as she watched Shi Yanxia push the door open and enter.
