Chapter 54 Reality (2) Connection
The doctor replied, "Those people also claimed to be the patient's family members."
While Lin Chujiu was still in a daze, those people also looked over.
Upon seeing Lin Chujiu, they were not afraid at all; instead, they revealed a smug smile.
One of the girls, who bore a striking resemblance to Lin Chujiu, stepped forward and smiled:
"Sister Chujiu, you're here! It's been a long time!"
Upon seeing the person's face, Lin Chujiu instantly looked like she had swallowed a fly:
"Xu Sisi, what are you doing here?"
She ran quickly to the ward door, staring at the other person warily!
The face, which bore a striking resemblance to Lin Chujiu's, wanted to smile, but couldn't lift its muscles. Xu Sisi's expression stiffened, and she said gently:
"We've come to see your mother, Sister Chujiu, what's the rush?"
Lin Chujiu sneered, "Who knows if you really want to see my mother, or if you have ulterior motives!"
The contract has been terminated, and I have no further connection with your company!
Upon hearing this, the vice president, who had been observing from the sidelines, immediately stepped forward to smooth things over:
"Xiao Lin, you're from the company, after all. The company has nurtured you for so many years, so there's bound to be some affection for you."
"Here you are, since you've entered a horror livestream, we've come to check on your mother for you."
As he spoke, he lifted the fruit basket in his hand to indicate that he hadn't come empty-handed.
Lin Chujiu didn't even glance at the fruit.
She raised her head, her eyes filled with coldness:
"Screw your feelings! When you forced me to go with those old men, why didn't you show any feelings? And now that I can't keep up with their drinking, you want to blacklist me? What kind of feelings are those?!"
The other man next to her froze, instinctively wanting to scold her, but remembering the purpose of their trip, he forced a smile.
"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Aren't those just things that artists should do?"
He laughed it off, trying to gloss over the matter.
He was Lin Chujiu's former manager.
However, Lin Chujiu hated them so much that she didn't listen to them at all.
"Misunderstanding my ass! If it's a misunderstanding, why don't you go accompany them yourself? It's not like there's only a front and no back."
Get as far away from me as possible, get as far away as you can die! You are not welcome here!
The group exchanged glances, their expressions instantly turning cold.
Xu Sisi held the vice president's hand, her voice gentle yet unable to conceal its sharpness:
"Sister Chujiu, how can you say that? The company has nurtured us, so of course we need to repay the company."
"You were immature back then, and the company doesn't blame you. But now that the vice president and your agent are visiting your mother, why are you making them angry?"
What a clever move to gloss over it!
What a clever trick of the thief crying "stop thief!"
Lin Chujiu sneered, her eyes revealing undisguised hatred:
"What exactly are you trying to achieve by putting on so many shows?"
The vice president coughed lightly and said:
"Xiao Lin, now that you've entered the horror live stream room, you're getting a lot of attention."
You know the company has been training horror artists.
As a veteran in the company, you should use your enthusiasm to mentor the newcomers.
Lin Chujiu was so angry she almost laughed!
She was desperate and had no other choice but to die.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have entered the horror live stream room.
As for why they were at their wits' end, they knew perfectly well.
Artists are sidelined when they have no value, but they are brought back to prominence once they gain value.
They are determined to wash away every drop of blood from the artists.
How can such disgusting things exist in the world?
Lin Chujiu recalled the two miserable years she spent at this company, closed her eyes, and realized that there was no way to reconcile with those past experiences.
She opened her eyes again, staring into theirs, her voice cold and sharp:
"I will not help any of you anymore, and you should leave now. You are not welcome here."
Xu Sisi's eyes darted around, as if she was about to say something, but Lin Chujiu's next words choked her up.
Lin Chujiu sneered: "If you still want to come in, I will apply for Chinese citizen protection."
Due to the emergence of horror live-streaming rooms, many people were forced to risk their lives. In order to protect their relatives, China enacted a law that allows people to apply for police protection for their relatives.
"Get lost."
After saying that, she stopped pressing the matter and turned away.
The vice president behind him chuckled sinisterly, "You've grown wings."
You've probably seen the trending topics about you, right?
Lin Chujiu paused for a moment, then continued walking inside.
This farce has temporarily ended, but it has only just begun.
————
Lin Chujiu has already paid the initial surgery for her mother and the hospital fees, but the cost of subsequent treatment is still far from enough.
She sat by the hospital bed, and thinking about what had just happened, she couldn't help but cry.
"Mom, you're such a bad mom. You didn't even wake up to protect me."
Lin Chujiu held her mother's hand, her heart breaking as she cried.
The woman on the hospital bed was pale and her eyes were closed.
The IV tube looped around her hand, dripping liquid calmly and regularly.
Lin Chujiu felt a pang of sorrow upon seeing this scene, and she wanted to cry again.
She walked out of the hospital, leaned against the stairs to catch her breath, and was then patted on the shoulder.
"Jiu Jiu?!"
The voice behind him was filled with unexpected joy.
Lin Chujiu turned around in confusion and saw a short-haired girl.
The girl had a round face; I didn't recognize her, but she looked somewhat familiar.
The girl wasn't surprised by her reaction and said to herself, "I didn't expect to meet you here."
As she spoke, her eyes reddened.
"I'm the one you saved in high school, the one in the bathroom."
As soon as she said it, Lin Chujiu understood instantly.
"Xi Yuan?" Lin Chujiu looked at the face that overlapped with her memory and called out tentatively.
Chen Xiyuan nodded quickly.
Lin Chujiu remarked with emotion, "You've changed so much."
Chen Xiyuan, who used to be bullied, was small and thin. Her long bangs always covered her face, and she was hunched over, always looking like a nobody.
However, now she has short, playful hair, a bright and sunny disposition, wears dopamine-infused outfits, and has an adorable smile.
Chen Xiyuan said, "This is all thanks to you."
You may not remember me, but I've been following you since you were an artist and then a live streamer.
Come to think of it, I'm still your fan.
I don't know if you remember, but that roommate of mine had five-centimeter-long leg hair.
Lin Chujiu vaguely remembered that although this fan was quiet, she would always give her tips, and she was present in almost every live stream.
She couldn't help but feel touched.
"Come on, Jiu Jiu, don't be sad. You've helped me so much before, now I'll treat you to dinner."
Chen Xiyuan's eyes were red, but she smiled and said.
Lin Chujiu hesitated for two seconds, then nodded happily.
————
After a short two-day rest, Lin Chujiu stood in her rented room again, but with a completely different mindset.
The horror livestream room was not only a way out for her, but also a possible way to survive.
Even in the horror live stream, she has fans like Chen Xiyuan who support and love her.
Moreover, through this live-streaming platform, she can quickly raise money to cure her mother's illness.
Lin Chujiu is no longer as discouraged as before; she has truly made up her mind to do this business well.
But just before she was about to enter the live stream, she received a private message from Crazy Big Jiba in the background:
[Crazy Big Jiba: Jiu Jiu, remember to buy painkillers for this dungeon run.]
Lin Chujiu didn't understand, but she did as instructed.
After hastily buying painkillers from the mall, a burst of white light shot into the sky, and Lin Chujiu disappeared from the spot once again.
