After listening to Yu Qiubai, Shen Xi rushed straight to the hospital.
“Doctor, I’m begging you. Please save my grandmother. I’m begging you.” Yu Yuanxi chased after the doctor with red eyes.
“I’m sorry.” The doctor looked at the teenager. There was nothing he could do but ruthlessly push him away. “There’s nothing I can do.”
The people on top explained that they owed too many medical expenses for too long. There was no way to perform surgery.
Yu Yuanxi was pushed hard and stumbled on his feet. His vision went dark and he was about to fall to the ground, but someone caught him.
“Watch out!” Shen Xi looked at the haggard teenager.
At that moment, he had discarded all his pride and dignity. He was as lowly as a speck of dirt, as if he would give his life to anyone who could help him at this time.
Yu Yuanxi’s head buzzed. The girl’s clear and cold voice was like a clear spring in summer, restoring his clarity in an instant.
He desperately tried to hide his vulnerable and lowly side.
He did not know why, but whenever she was before him, he was always so wretched and humiliating.
“I’m fine.” Yu Yuanxi did not dare to look at her. He wanted nothing more than to find a corner and curl up and hide.
He knew that she would not laugh at him.
However, he did not want her to see such a helpless and useless side of him.
“This is for you.” Shen Xi also did not beat around the bush and simply shoved a card at him.
Yu Yuanxi raised his eyes. After being surprised, his hands fumbled to return the card to her. A lump formed in his throat. “I can’t take this.”
He had already made preparations. He would go to the organ trading site at night. As long as he did not die, he would sell whatever he could.
“There’s 100,000 yuan here, but I’m not giving you the money for free.” Shen Xi said and handed him a document. “This is an artist contract. Take a look at it first.”
Yu Yuanxi looked over the document with trembling hands. His eyes misted over and his throat felt sour and unbearable, but his heart flooded with a slight warmth.
“The company is my brother’s. It’s a new company, so it won’t be able to give you good conditions since it’s in the early stage.” Shen Xi explained to him. “But you can rest assured that if you develop together with the company, you’ll never lack for any resources in the future.”
“Why me?” Yu Yuanxi looked at her, wanting to find the answer from her eyes.
However, the girl’s eyes were clear and cold as usual, just like the silence of a lake. No emotion could be discerned from them.
“I’m not giving you this contract because I feel sorry for you.” Shen Xi knew what he was asking. “I’ve been paying attention to you for a long time. Your looks and temperament are very suitable for showbiz, and you’ll definitely become a great star in the future.
“But if you don’t want to enter this circle, you can just take the money and return the contract to me as if I never came here today.”
Yu Yuanxi stared at the girl in front of him, and said word by word, as if he was swearing an oath, “I’ll do it.”
He would seize every opportunity to make money. Those who never starved would never know the preciousness of a single grain of rice, and those who had never been poor would never know how important money was.
He would work hard and become the person she wanted him to be. He would stand at the top of the world and tell her that she did not choose the wrong person.
Shen Xi did not expect the contract to be settled so quickly. Yu Yuanxi really trusted her and signed the contract on the spot.
There were many people in the hospital at that time.
When Shen Xi passed the stairway, she was suddenly stopped by someone and looked up, crashing into Yu Qiubai’s smiling fox-like eyes.
