Two hours later.
Zhan Xiaojun stopped.
This body had lost too much blood and was too weak, not comparable to her own body.
According to the algorithms from her previous world, she had only walked for an hour, and now she was somewhat tired.
Fortunately, she had reached a place lit up by lights.
She took out her phone and was extremely proficient when she started playing with it again.
In two hours, she had enough time to understand this world. The original owner had always lived in the countryside, so in the year she had been in Yancheng, she had been out of place in this big city, and the more she did, the more mistakes she made.
But it didn't stop her from using her phone to start understanding now.
Information was transmitted incredibly quickly.
Far superior to her own world.
Whatever she wanted to understand, she could quickly understand in a short period of time.
With the original owner's education, it was too difficult to find a good job.
In her world, practicing medicine didn't require any qualification certificates or the like; one could just roam the jianghu. However, this world, while seemingly free, also had many restrictions.
What should she do?
Suddenly.
A new message popped up in her WeChat chat window.
"Xiaojun, hurry up and look at this. We're both so beautiful, and so many people want to sleep with us. Let's participate in a variety show selection! You'll be a star then, and Mu Bai will definitely like you!"
The sender of this message was the original owner's friend, Yang Yizhi. Half a year ago, she came to Yancheng from the countryside to work. She worked as a waitress in a hotel. Like the original owner, her studies were poor, and she had dropped out early.
She ran to the city from the countryside because she was pregnant, and she didn't know who the father of the child was. She saved money by working in Yancheng and recently went to the hospital for an abortion.
Seeing the phrase "so many people want to sleep with us," Zhan Xiaojun's lips twitched.
Through the original owner's memories, she learned that Yang Yizhi was not inherently bad, but her mother abandoned her family due to poverty, and her father neglected her upbringing. Without maternal guidance, she went down the wrong path.
Looking at the word "star," Zhan Xiaojun had some ideas.
She didn't reply to Yang Yizhi immediately.
She noticed a 24-hour pharmacy nearby and went in to buy a set of silver needles and some Chinese herbal pills.
She performed acupuncture on the street.
And took one or two pills.
The Chinese herbal ingredients and their taste made her frown slightly.
These items cost her three hundred yuan.
She had two hundred yuan left.
She couldn't even afford to stay at an inn.
Zhan Xiaojun rubbed her chin. If her parents and three elder brothers knew she was stranded, they would be heartbroken.
She dragged her luggage, bought two steamed buns by the roadside, ate them, and then dragged her luggage to the hospital.
Not long ago, the original owner's maternal uncle, Lin Jing, had called her, asking her to go to the hospital. He said Lin Ya missed her very much and didn't blame her for helping Zhan Zhicheng before. However, judging from Lin Jing's tone, he was full of hatred and indifference towards his niece.
Soon, she arrived at the hospital.
It was not yet dawn, and there were not many people in the hospital.
At this hour, most patients in the wards were asleep.
She asked a nurse for Lin Ya's room number. Under the nurse's confused gaze, she was about to go find Lin Ya when the nurse suddenly stopped her, "Are you Lin Ya's daughter? Just in time, I'll tell you, you need to pay your mother's expenses."
"How much?"
"Thirty thousand yuan."
Zhan Xiaojun hummed, "In a moment."
Then she went directly to find the room.
The nurse couldn't help but stare at Zhan Xiaojun's retreating back, muttering to herself. Lin Ya's daughter was even more beautiful than those female stars who were praised for their stunning beauty on TV. She didn't know why, but she made one feel a little weak in the knees.
This was the first time she had seen Lin Ya's daughter visit.
The patients in the ward all said Lin Ya's daughter was unfilial. Lin Ya had called many times, but her daughter just wouldn't come.
But looking at her now, Lin Ya's daughter didn't seem like an unfilial person.
Zhan Xiaojun stood at the door of the ward and saw the situation inside.
Lin Ya lay on the hospital bed, her complexion sallow, her brows furrowed. Her features bore a five-part resemblance to her mother.
Thinking of someone who looked like her mother suffering from illness, Zhan Xiaojun felt a pang of sympathy.
The person dozing by the bed should be Lin Jing.
His clothes were worn and torn, likely work clothes, and his back was thin.
Both of them were sleeping soundly.
There were several other patients and their families in the ward.
Zhan Xiaojun found a chair outside the door and sat down to wait for dawn.
She was accustomed to sleeping in the mountains and forests around the capital, whether lying down or leaning against something. The environment was very quiet now, and she leaned against the chair and closed her eyes.
Suddenly, she sensed someone standing in front of her.
She opened her eyes.
Lin Jing was standing there with a cold face, looking incredulous. When he saw Zhan Xiaojun open her eyes, he took a step back in shock.
Before she opened her eyes, he was sure it was his niece. But when she opened them, she looked completely different. His niece didn't have the presence of the person in front of him; it was a kind of nobility that seemed ingrained in her bones.
"Uncle."
A clear, cold "Uncle."
Lin Jing snapped back to attention and then his eyes widened, "You..."
"Why are you here? Didn't you say you wouldn't come? I've never met anyone more heartless than you! My sister painstakingly raised you, and you actually helped Zhan Zhicheng twist the facts! Aren't you afraid of retribution? Tell me, why are you suddenly at the hospital? Is Zhan Zhicheng asking you to do something again? One day, heaven will deal with him!"
Lin Jing quickly recovered and angrily cursed Zhan Xiaojun and that beast Zhan Zhijun.
He didn't understand why heaven was so blind.
Clearly, it was his sister who was abandoned back then. His sister had suffered for half her life, and now she was seriously ill. Her own daughter, whom she doted on like a treasure, was helping that scoundrel.
"You're right, heaven will deal with him soon." Zhan Xiaojun agreed with this statement.
She stood up.
Lin Jing originally wanted to scold her more. He really wanted to scold Zhan Xiaojun awake, but he felt powerless. Zhan Zhicheng and Wang Qi were too cunning and had completely brainwashed his niece.
As a result, he widened his eyes, thinking he had misheard, "You..."
He suddenly noticed the suitcase beside Zhan Xiaojun.
Although surprised, Lin Jing had no expectations of Zhan Xiaojun. He sneered, "Did Zhan Zhicheng have another heinous idea? He's afraid my sister can hold on, so he sent you here to anger my sister to death? Zhan Xiaojun, I'm telling you, as long as I'm alive, I'll treat my sister even if I have to work myself to death! As for you, get lost! I don't want to see you. I'm not hitting you now because of my sister, otherwise, I could beat you to death in minutes!"
If it weren't for Zhan Xiaojun, his sister's condition wouldn't have deteriorated so quickly!
Zhan Xiaojun didn't rush to explain. What the original owner had done before was indeed very despicable.
It seemed that making Lin Jing believe her now was unlikely.
Lin Jing felt something was wrong. In the past, if he scolded her once, Zhan Xiaojun would retort and argue back, completely disregarding him as her uncle. Why was she like a different person today, letting him scold her?
"Go on, what do you actually want?"
