Chapter 101

When Yu Xia woke up, she found herself in the ICU of the hospital. She was bewildered, not knowing how she ended up here.

The nurse attending to her came over to check, and with a hoarse voice, Yu Xia asked, “Auntie, what happened to me?”

The middle-aged nurse glanced at her and said, “Ovarian hyperstimulation, bilateral pleural effusion. You’ve been in shock for three days.”

These medical terms did little to solve Yu Xia’s confusion; she couldn’t understand at all, her eyes filled with bewilderment.

The nurse could tell and said, “Wait for the doctor to come and explain it to you.”

The doctor arrived quickly, examined her, nodded, and asked, “How old are you?”

Yu Xia replied, “Nineteen.”

The doctor inquired, “Are you still a student?”

He was a bit annoyed and said, “Don’t deny so quickly. Take a look at your situation first before considering what to say.”

Yu Xia was a bit confused, but when the doctor asked her to look, she propped up her body, slightly raised her head, took a glance, and was instantly shocked. She almost screamed, “What happened to my belly?”

Her belly had bulged, resembling that of a pregnant woman.

Yu Xia was frightened to tears.

The doctor said, “Your ovarian hyperstimulation¹ovarian stimulation syndrome https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/ovarian-hyperstimulation-syndrome-ohss/symptoms-causes/syc-20354697 caused damage. In the future… you won’t be able to have children.”

Yu Xia stopped and, regarding having children, didn’t have much substantive feeling. She asked a bit blankly, “Then… can I still donate eggs?”

If this were her own child, the doctor would have dragged her down and given her a good beating! Even the nurse couldn’t help but laugh.

“Donate eggs?” she said, “Do you know that you almost died? You were in shock for three days, undergoing emergency treatment for three whole days!”

In fact, terms like fertility, shock, almost dying, didn’t have much impact on Yu Xia. She always felt that in modern medicine, there was nothing that couldn’t be treated. After all, she didn’t have cancer.

What crushed Yu Xia was the hospital bill.

Young people won’t understand how much it costs to get sick and be hospitalized until they experience a major illness, especially in the ICU.

For the first three days of ICU treatment, it cost fifteen thousand yuan per day, and for the next two days, six thousand yuan per day. This didn’t even include the cost of transferring her to a regular ward, and it already amounted to fifty-seven thousand yuan.

She sold an egg, endured excruciating pain on the small operating table, had ten holes punctured in her ovaries, rendering her infertile for life, and only received ten thousand yuan.

It wasn’t even enough to cover a single day’s ICU expenses.

Her phone kept flashing with notifications as various loan platforms relentlessly called her.

The longer she delayed, the more interest accumulated.

Yu Xia felt very desperate.

Bai Lu still had friends willing to support her, and she had parents who had the means to provide a safety net.

Yu Xia had nothing.

She came from a small town where the average income was three thousand yuan. The debts she owed didn’t give her confidence that her parents could bail her out.

In her despair, Yu Xia climbed to the rooftop of the hospital.

While everyone at school was taking their final exams on that day, Yu Xia, driven to desperation, jumped off the hospital rooftop in an attempt to end her life.

In a previous life, she worked with Ji Anning at NL, and Zhao Chen pursued Ji Anning to NL.

Yu Xia realized that Zhao Chen was wealthy. While she publicly helped Ji Anning resist Zhao Chen’s advances, she secretly contacted Zhao Chen, offering to assist him in pursuing Ji Anning.

Yu Xia’s original intention was merely to secure some benefits. She didn’t expect that Zhao Chen was a person capable of making “big things” happen.

People with similar intentions can always sense each other’s motives. At first sight, Zhao Chen could tell that this girl’s eyes, full of swirling motions, were filled with a desire for money.

Coincidentally, he had nothing but money.

A shameless deal was negotiated under the extinction of conscience.

Zhao Chen gave Yu Xia a packet of medicine, and Yu Xia put the medicine into a drink, trembling as she handed it to Ji Anning.

Unexpectedly, Ji Anning was a girl with a strong sense of vigilance. She keenly discovered the truth and then ran away.

And then, she died.

Zhao Chen gave Yu Xia a large sum of hush money, more than he had promised before.

With this money, Yu Xia paid off her debts.

Back at school, classmates told her, “Have you heard? There’s a girl from our school who worked at such a place, got into a dispute with a client, and in a fit of anger, jumped off a building.”

Yu Xia forced a smile and echoed, “Yeah, really lacks self-respect.”

And then Zhao Chen suddenly died.

Upon hearing the news, Yu Xia almost went crazy—Zhao Chen fell to his death from the same place Ji Anning jumped!

Yu Xia understood that someone had come to avenge Ji Anning.

Terrified, she hid in her dormitory and dared not go anywhere.

Fortunately, it seemed that no one knew the role she played in this incident. No one came seeking revenge against her.

Even more fortunately, the person who killed Zhao Chen was reported and caught. Surprisingly, it was Wen Yu, the one who had been pursuing Ji Anning relentlessly and had been rejected by her.

He was also a wealthy young man. Ji Anning had such shitty luck. With such conditions, why wouldn’t she lead a good life?

Too foolish.

Having gone through such an ordeal, Yu Xia was scared into a newfound understanding and managed to break free from the quagmire of online loans.

She focused on her studies, found a job after graduating from college, and, with her intelligence and adept interpersonal skills, managed to do quite well.

Under the sunshine, she lived a fairly bright life.

However, all the conditions that led to this in the first place changed in this life because of Ji Anning’s reincarnation.

As the saying goes, “If you don’t believe it, just look up. The heavens spare no one.”

Her classmates at school were completely unaware of these events.

The hospital staff contacted the school through the “counselor” in Yu Xia’s phone. The school authorities got in touch with Yu Xia’s family and hurriedly came to handle the aftermath.

Yu Xia’s phone was filled with debt collection messages.

The doctor could attest that she had undergone egg retrieval, with no other explanation except for underground surrogacy and illegal egg selling.

This was certainly not a good thing, and the school preferred to suppress this ugly scandal.

As a result, the students were oblivious to it all. They finished their exams, feeling liberated once again. Dormitories and clubs were busy organizing dinners and karaoke sessions, celebrating together.

Wen Yu told Ji Anning that he had to go on a business trip for the company, secretly went to Yucheng, met someone, and quickly returned.

“Let’s go, we’re heading to the capital,” he said with a smile.

Ji Anning had a synthetic diamond made from her grandmother’s ashes, set as a pendant, and wore it around her neck.

She took her grandmother to the capital, seeing the square, the city walls, the flag-raising ceremony, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the Ming Tombs.

She visited the places her grandmother had promised to take her to when she grew up.

Wen Yu held her hand, accompanying her.

The news about Yu Xia broke out in August.

When the repayment day arrived, the creditors couldn’t reach Yu Xia, so they bombarded the contacts in her phone, especially those with labels that seemed close.

The real breaking point came when the company that provided the loan for Yu Xia released her intimate photos.

Yu Xia was skilled at networking and loved socializing. Her phone contacts included many classmates’ numbers.

As a result, many classmates received Yu Xia’s intimate photos.

The news of Yu Xia’s death could no longer be concealed, and the online forums for Huada University exploded.

Meng Xinyu was on the verge of going crazy.

Even after experiencing the incident with Bai Lu, Yu Xia still exceeded her wildest imagination. She felt like the world had become fantastical, not the normal world she once knew.

Meng Xinyu called Bai Lu, sternly questioning her if she had ever been involved in this kind of loan-related activity.

Bai Lu was also very distraught.

“No! Really, no! I’ve encountered them; they fooled me on WeChat, but I didn’t do it! I deleted them! I really didn’t do it! I’ve repaid all my debts!”

After hanging up the phone, she opened the online forum. Someone had censored and posted Yu Xia’s photos.

Some people were even more malicious, not bothering to censor and directly uploading clear photos.

Many posts had already reached high numbers, and Bai Lu scrolled for a long time. In the end, only the words “fear” remained.

Ji Anning was also looking at the forum posts.

From those posts, it was revealed that Yu Xia, as a university student who hadn’t even started a formal job, had already accumulated over 300,000 yuan in debt.

How much is over 300,000 yuan?

For people like Wen Yu, their routine gatherings with friends on weekend nights sometimes cost more than 300,000 yuan.

For someone like Zhao Chen, it wouldn’t be a big deal either.

But for Yu Xia, it meant a life, Ji Anning’s or even hers.

Wen Yu also saw classmates flooding the class group chat. He turned to see Ji Anning staring at the post without any expression.

After a pause, he asked, “Do you know her?”

Ji Anning remained silent for a long time before saying, “The person who deceived me into going to the Silver Sea Hotel.”

The air froze.

After a while, Wen Yu let out a cold laugh.

“Heh.”

Summer vacation quickly came to an end, and classmates returned to school one after another, including Zhao Chen.

One day, he came to school only to find that the parking spaces at the school gate were occupied by some crates, and it was chaotic with no place to park. The parking attendants were nowhere to be found.

Unable to do anything about it, Zhao Chen had to turn around and parked his car on the other side of the road near KFC.

After attending classes for half a day, he ordered lunch and decided to skip the afternoon classes. While classmates headed to the cafeteria, he walked towards the school gate.

Exiting Huada University’s gate, he could see his car parked across the street near KFC. Zhao Chen lifted his foot onto the asphalt road.

The screeching sound of brakes pierced the air, catching pedestrians off guard. When they turned to look upon hearing the noise, all they saw was a young man being crushed beneath the wheels of a taxi.

Someone rushed forward, vigorously pounding on the car window, informing the driver that he had hit someone. The driver seemed startled and confused, hastily reversing the car.

Second impact.

Even those watching from a distance knew that there was no way the person trapped beneath the wheels could survive.

Holding hands, Ji Anning and Wen Yu stood at the school gate, witnessing the entire process of Zhao Chen’s death.

Ji Anning turned her head to look at Wen Yu.

Wen Yu gazed at the dark red blood seeping from under the wheels in the middle of the road, his expression calm and undisturbed.

At lunch, when he said he wanted KFC, it seemed strange. Standing outside the gate, refusing to move, was even stranger.

Until she witnessed this scene, Ji Anning finally stopped finding it strange.

She redirected her gaze to the middle of the road.

Some were calling the police, others crouched down to check if there was any chance of survival, and some were banging on the car window, shouting for the driver to get out.

The driver seemed dazed, sitting motionless in the car.

Ji Anning’s lips moved, saying, “Driver…”

“It’s okay,” Wen Yu said.

Thinking about it, he must have had a plan.

Ji Anning sighed lightly.

Wen Yu turned his head. “Why sigh?”

Ji Anning said, “I thought you agreed with me.”

Wen Yu smirked, saying, “I promised not to involve myself.”

“But I didn’t promise you not to intervene with Zhao Chen.”
