"Hey, where did you get this plate of stir-fried vegetables? I didn't see it. Can you share some with me? I haven't eaten vegetables for a few days." Wen Xi pretended not to notice the other party's abnormality.
"Of course." Ren Ying hurriedly placed her only dish in front of her.
In order to save money, Ren Ying only ordered a meal and a vegetarian dish, which, together with the free soup, was enough to fill her stomach.
"Great, thank you. I'll give you these in exchange." Wen Xi pushed a hard dish to her side and pointed at the others, "You have to help with these too."
Ren Yingyu lowered her eyelashes and trembled slightly: "Yes, okay."
The two started chatting while eating.
"By the way, Xiaoxi, why did you come to the hospital today..."
"Visiting the patient."
"Is this the guy you saw yesterday? How can I help you? I might not be able to do much, but I can run some errands."
"No need, he has someone taking care of him personally, and he's almost recovered. If there's nothing wrong with him after the examination, he'll probably be discharged in the next few days."
"Okay, if you need me for anything just give me a shout, I'm basically here anyway."
"Do you work in a hospital?" Wen Xi asked after looking at her clothes.
Ren Ying nodded.
"Well, a cleaner left the hospital a couple of days ago, and I just took this job yesterday. This way I can earn some money and it will be more convenient for me to take care of my mom."
"Working in a hospital is very hard. Can you handle it? Didn't you sign a contract with a company and terminate it?"
"No." When talking about her previous job, Ren Ying's expression darkened and she shook her head. "Ever since that incident, my agent has ignored me and left me to fend for myself. If the company doesn't intervene, I won't notify them. Otherwise, it will be considered a breach of contract."
"So you're just going to waste your time like this? Just terminate the contract. With your abilities, you wouldn't end up like this."
Ren Ying shook her head somewhat helplessly: "I can't solve it yet."
"Because of liquidated damages?"
"I've been prepared for the penalty for breach of contract, so it's not a big deal, but..." At this point, Ren Ying's eyes flashed with resentment, as if she had something to hide. She didn't continue, only saying, "Anyway, given my current situation, I can't solve it for the time being, but I will find a way to leave as soon as possible."
Seeing that the other party seemed to be deliberately avoiding the topic, Wen Xi stopped asking questions. After all, it was someone else's privacy.
"How is your mother doing now? I remember you retired a long time ago because her condition worsened and you took her abroad for treatment."
"Now we can only keep her condition from getting worse too quickly, but no doctor can tell when she will wake up. Some even say that she may never wake up unless a miracle happens... But I won't give up." Ren Ying said, biting her lip lightly.
Wen Xi nodded in understanding.
Just like her father in her previous life who was mentally ill and paralyzed in bed, she never thought of giving up.
"You are so beautiful, your mother must be beautiful too, right?"
Thinking of such a beauty sleeping in the hospital bed for many years like Sleeping Beauty, Wen Xi couldn't help but feel regret and sympathy.
Ren Ying was stunned for a moment, then said calmly, "No, I won't follow her. My biological mother died young, and she is my stepmother."
"Stepmother?" Wen Xi was slightly surprised.
Aren’t they mother and daughter?
I really didn't expect Ren Ying to be able to do this.
Back then, Ren Ying was a well-known figure. Even someone like me who didn't pay much attention to gossip had heard of her legendary experiences.
She was originally a drama actor and possessed rare talent. At the age of 19, she won many awards for her own strength and was a rising star in the drama world.
