Chapter 834: 834 There is no such thing as a maternal heart.
Eleven’s phone suddenly rang, and the passing medical staff glanced at her.
"Sorry, I’ll turn it off right away."
Before hanging up, she saw it was a call from her brother, Shang Jingyang.
The call reminded her.
He was probably trying to tell her about their mother’s condition, and maybe he was even on his way here. She needed to leave quickly.
Someone passed by in front of her, making Eleven pause.
Wasn’t that Xiao Man?
Xiao Man saw someone on her right and didn’t realize it was someone she knew until she looked closely, "Eleven?"
"Sister Man, what brings you to the hospital?" Not wanting Xiao Man to find out who she was visiting, she walked towards her.
"I’m here to visit a friend. What about you?" Xiao Man glanced behind her.
"A friend as well, was just about to leave."
"Oh? Are you in a hurry? If not, come with me."
"Ah? Oh, sure!"
Although she neither knew why Xiao Man had invited her along nor why she simply went with her, she found herself inexplicably following.
"She’s staying in the ward at the very end, it’s a bit far."
"No problem, I’m not busy today."
Suddenly, Xiao Man took out her phone and handed it to her, "It’s the production crew group chat. This is Fan Fan’s number, take a look. Be mentally prepared—if you still plan to come to the set. The director must have contacted you today."
"Yeah, we just had some refreshments together, and he gave me the contract." Eleven took the phone.
Group chat:
"I just overheard Director Ma’s assistant saying he went to meet her, and the contract is ready."
"Unbelievable, the so-called Mrs. Gu turns out to be her..."
"Why is she even entering the entertainment industry? Doesn’t she have someone to support her?"
Such discussions were all about her.
"I’ve seen a lot on Weibo already, I’m immune to it." Eleven handed back the phone.
"Right, consider it a preemptive shot. Just so you know, these are things you’ll have to face in the future. When you reach my position, the comments won’t be just these."
"Ha, you mean, those dark comments?"
"Maybe?" Xiao Man smiled.
"If Sister Man is worried that these comments will hurt me, then you’re underestimating me. I’ve already been through a similar phase in my high school days, it doesn’t bother me."
They stopped in front of the door to the furthest ward.
Xiao Man raised her hand and opened the door.
Only then did Eleven see her friend lying quietly on the bed, eyes closed, hooked up to various machines.
"What happened to her?" Eleven had a bad feeling.
"She’s my good friend, Meng Yao."
Xiao Man told her, "You must be curious why I targeted Dong Yan, right? Everyone is. People around me have spun that curiosity into countless versions, mostly dark gossip, freely crafting the beginning and end of our story."
"Could it be..." Eleven had already guessed something.
"Yes, Dong Yan is the reason my good friend Meng Yao ended up like this. She’s still alive, but it’s like she’s dead, never to wake again. Forgive?" Xiao Man scoffed, "There’s no such saintliness in me. Why should I forgive her? It would be easy to let her die, but I won’t do that. Death is ignorant, too easy."
"What did she do?"
Lin Meng Yao...
There indeed had been news about her years ago, but after an accident one year, there was no more news.
