Chapter 6: The Illusion of Surviving a Disaster

When she woke up again, she found herself lying on a hospital bed, with Li Fei sitting on a chair not far away.

She didn't expect that she was still alive, and she actually had the illusion of being happy about surviving a disaster.

She couldn't help but smile bitterly. If this happened a few more times, she might really die.

I struggled to get up from the bed, but the slightest movement caused severe pain all over my body.

When Li Fei heard the noise, he rushed over immediately. Seeing Wen Ruoci woke up, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You finally woke up. You were unconscious for three whole days this time. I was scared to death."

She was slightly stunned. Was she unconscious for such a long time this time?

She looked at Li Fei and pulled her lips with difficulty, "I'm sorry to have made you worry."

She suddenly remembered something, "By the way, who sent me to the hospital?

Li Fei did not hide it from her, "It's He Ci."

Wen Ruoci lowered her eyes and said nothing.

He sent her to the hospital, and Wen Ruoci didn't think he was reluctant to let her go. It was probably because he felt that if she died like this, his revenge would not be satisfying enough.

Li Fei also heard about the incident at Nanshan Club. She sighed slightly, "He Ci forced you to drink so much alcohol that you almost had gastric bleeding..."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, "He Ci...does he really want you to die..."

Wen Ruoci said nothing.

She no longer had any expectations of him.

The past cannot be retrieved, the future...

There is no future, just darkness.

She lowered her eyes, as if thinking, "Who knows, maybe... after all, he hates me so much..."

Maybe there is really only a fight to the death between them.

At this time, an award ceremony was being broadcast on the TV in the hospital room. Wen Ruoci had no interest in it at first, but when the host mentioned Zhou Ying, she still took a few more glances.

Zhou Ying won the Huading Award for Best Actress.

Li Fei knew about this news a long time ago. When she saw it now, her disgust was almost beyond words. "This award was originally yours, but He Ci forced it to Zhou Ying. Wouldn't Zhou Ying feel guilty about taking it?"

Wen Ruoci said indifferently, not caring that much, "After all, Zhou Ying is his sweetheart now."

The host asked Zhou Ying what she wanted to say about receiving the award.

Zhou Ying's answer was very official. She thanked the director, the screenwriter, the crew members, and the fans. At the end, she suddenly mentioned that she wanted to thank someone who was very important to her.

When she said the last sentence, the happiness and sweetness in her eyes could not be concealed.

The host understood what she meant and asked with a smile, "Is the very important person her boyfriend?"

Zhou Ying neither admitted nor denied it, but just said that it was a secret.

After hearing this, Li Fei couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Wen Ruoci asked curiously, "Fei Fei, what are you laughing at?"

Li Fei raised her eyebrows slightly, "I'm laughing. Zhou Ying looks like she can't wait to make it public, but she doesn't dare to offend He Ci, so she can only show off secretly. It's really interesting."

After all, it is well known in the circle that Wen Ruoci is He Ci's wife.

Even if Zhou Ying had a relationship with He Ci, it was not something that could be made public. If she didn't know her place and made the whole thing known to everyone, it would be immature of her to do so.

Wen Ruoci didn't say anything else.

She was thinking about what Zhou Qi said to her that day.

Get solid evidence that He Ci cheated.

I don’t know how the relationship between Zhou Ying and He Ci has developed.

Does she and Zhou Ying have the opportunity to work together?

Seeing Wen Ruoci lowering her eyes and not speaking, Li Fei thought that she was upset about Zhou Ying winning the award, so she comforted her, "Ruoci, don't take it to heart. People in the circle say that Zhou Ying is the little Wen Ruoci. She can't compare to you. Even if she wins the Best Actress award, she can't compare to you."

Be it in terms of appearance or talent, Zhou Ying is far inferior to Wen Ruoci.

This is a recognized fact.

But it wasn't her deliberate comfort as a friend.

Wen Ruoci collected her thoughts and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about her."

At this moment, she thought of something more important. "I heard that Sotheby's will be auctioning "Spring River Moonlit Night". I want to go and take a look."

Li Fei wanted to stop her, "I know you like antiques, but don't you care about your health? Your fever has subsided, but do you know how serious your stomach problems are because you drank so much alcohol without thinking about it? You almost had stomach bleeding. The doctor said you need to rest for at least three months. Don't go out this week and stay in the hospital to rest. Wen Ruoci, "Gastric problems need to be treated slowly. They can't be cured overnight. I'm just going to the auction house. It won't be a big problem."

More importantly, Song Dynasty might also go to the auction house.

Maybe she could meet him by chance.

Xiaoyou’s matter can’t be delayed any longer.

Li Fei: "..."

She also understood Wen Ruoci's temper relatively well, but once she made a decision, it was difficult for her to change it easily. She said helplessly, "Okay, I'll go with you later."

Not long after Wen Ruoci woke up, He Ci called her attending physician. Her tone was cold and emotionless, "Is she awake?"

Dr. Shen was a little surprised to receive He Ci's call. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, he's awake and alive and well. He even said he wanted to go to Sotheby's auction house."

After hearing this, He Ci replied indifferently, "I know."

After that, he hung up the phone.

Doctor Shen heard a busy tone and couldn't help but curse.

He is not this guy's personal doctor, can't he be more polite?

After He Ci hung up the phone, he put the phone back into his pocket and just stood there with a calm look in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.

Zhou Ying stood in the distance, hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to go forward.

Mr. He promised to accompany her to the award ceremony.

He walked cautiously, stopped in front of He Ci, and called softly, "Mr. He..."

He Ci looked at her sideways, and suddenly reached out to wipe the lipstick on her lips with a look of displeasure, "Have I ever told you that I don't like to wear such bright lipstick?"

Zhou Ying: "..."

This man was so fickle. She really didn't know why she liked him so much. Her lipstick was all over her face, and her makeup for today was completely ruined. She was about to cry, but she didn't dare to get angry with He Ci. Instead, she said carefully,

"Yes, I get it. I won't wear lipstick this red again."

He paused here and said, "Mr. He, the dinner is about to begin."

He Ci's mind is not here.

His mind was full of what happened that day at Nanshan Guild Hall.

He saw it clearly that day.

The moment Wen Ruoci fell down, panic appeared in Quan Shijin's eyes. If he hadn't been there, he would have guessed that Quan Shijin would have carried her to the hospital.

This woman and Quan Shijin had only met a few times.

They hooked up so quickly.

Sure enough, for that woman, no matter what she lacked, she could never lack a man.

For an instant.

He suddenly hated it even more.

When he was in a car accident and lying in the hospital, he was waiting for his owner to visit him like a pug, but she never came until he was discharged from the hospital.

Just gave him a cold reply.

They have broken up.

It’s better to keep your distance.

When he thought of the scene that day and Wen Ruoci's ruthless look, he couldn't help but kicked the chair beside him hard.

Zhou Ying didn't know what was going on and was shocked.

He called out tremblingly, "Master He..."

Hearing Zhou Ying's voice suddenly, He Ci seemed to have regained some consciousness.

He glanced at Zhou Ying indifferently and said coldly, "I have something else to do. I can't accompany you to the dinner today."

Zhou Ying felt so aggrieved that she looked as if the sky had fallen, but she didn't dare to get angry at the man and could only endure it in pain.

Zhou Ying is not a top beauty, but since she can make it in the entertainment industry, she is definitely not ugly.

But for He Ci, there was only irritation.

He Ci looked at her, as if he remembered something, and suddenly he curled his lips and smiled, "I don't have the time to accompany you to the dinner. In two days, you can dress up and accompany me to Sotheby's auction house. Then you can bid for whatever you like."

Zhou Ying was delighted, but she didn't show any excitement. Instead, she responded softly, "Okay."
