C1 A Desperate Choice

"Gerry, please help me. "If I don't get the money tonight, my brother will be kicked out of the hospital."

Jian Ruowei looked anxiously at her broker Gerry. She used all the money she earned from the advertisement last time as Jian Hao's medical expenses, but it was not enough!

She needed money, a lot of money.

Gerry showed a helpless expression and sighed heavily, "There is indeed a chance to make money tonight, but..."

"It's alright, I can do it!"

Without waiting for the troubled Gerry to finish speaking, Jian Ruowei said.

"Ruowei, although this is a chance to earn money. But you know, this kind of company arranged a dinner. Once you go, if you are liked by a certain Boss or a director or producer, then..."

Gerry frowned and did not say the rest of the words, but Jian Ruowei already understood what he meant.

She revealed a bitter smile, "It doesn't matter. As long as I can get the money to the hospital as soon as possible."

"Ruowei, you..."

Gerry, you don't have to say anymore. Help me tell Boss that I will go back and prepare now. I will arrive on time for tonight's dinner."

After Jian Ruowei finished speaking, she smiled at Gerry and then left in a hurry. It was already time for dinner. She had to rush to the hospital to send Jian Hao dinner first. She also had to make the best use of her time to dress up and arrive at the clubhouse before those Great Boss.

At eight o'clock sharp, Jian Ruowei, who was wearing a black short skirt, pushed open the door of a private room and walked in.

Not long after, the company invited Boss and the director to their rooms one after another.

The models who had been bored just now immediately revealed sweet smiles and took the initiative to get up and walk over. Soon, the models and Boss sat together. On the surface, they looked like they were seriously chatting, but the hands under the table were making dirty movements.

"Baby, you're so beautiful."

A fat old man walked to Jian Ruowei's side and sat down. His hand was holding Jian Ruowei's hand without any politeness.

Her stomach was churning and Jian Ruowei's face was somewhat pale.

"Director Zhou."

This man was the Vice President of New City International, Zhou Bingtian. As long as he liked her, she would have the opportunity to be rich and famous. Jian Ruowei took a deep breath and smiled.

"It is my honor that you like me."

Zhou Bingtian looked at Jian Ruowei meaningfully. He casually touched her body. His lewd expression was very disgusting.

"Baby, why don't we go out and chat?"

Jian Ruowei took a deep breath and nodded before they left.

"Baby, I can't wait anymore."

As soon as they entered the hotel room, Zhou Bingtian had already hugged Jian Ruowei anxiously. His lips moved closer to her ear as he spoke anxiously.

Jian Ruowei endured the disgust in her heart and pushed Zhou Bingtian away without revealing her feelings.

"I'll take a shower first."

Jian Ruowei walked towards the bathroom as she spoke, but her arm was suddenly pulled by Zhou Bingtian. She fell into Zhou Bingtian's arms.

"Why don't we take a bath together?"

As he spoke, he stretched his hands towards Jian Ruowei's collar.

"Director Zhou, don't be so anxious."

Jian Ruowei resisted the urge to push him away and used this as a joke to push Zhou Bingtian. However, what Jian Ruowei did not expect was that Zhou Bingtian actually got angry. He forcefully grabbed Jian Ruowei's wrist and looked at her with a face full of contempt.

"What is there to refuse? Didn't you just want to find a rich person?"

Jian Ruowei looked at Zhou Bingtian's contemptuous and sarcastic face and a trace of bitterness appeared in her eyes.

"Yes, I came to find a rich person."

As if she was hypnotizing herself, Jian Ruowei's face was mixed with sadness and stubbornness.

"Don't worry, as long as you serve me well. I will definitely spend money to make you famous. I will also let your brother live without worries."

Zhou Bingtian had a greedy smile on his face as he spoke in a high and mighty tone.

Jian Ruowei, who had already obeyed, had her bottom line touched when she heard Zhou Bingtian use a disdainful tone to talk about her brother.

Jian Ruowei did not know where she got the strength and courage from, but she pushed Zhou Bingtian away with all her strength.

"Dong."

Zhou Bingtian's back hit the wall heavily, and his face twisted in pain.

"You are crazy!"

Zhou Bingtian stared at Jian Ruowei fiercely. He walked forward with a gloomy expression and grabbed Jian Ruowei's arm.

"You are just a third-rate celebrity. Do you really think you are great? I am giving you face. You actually dare to push me."

"Let go!"

Jian Ruowei stared at Zhou Bingtian and tried to pull her arm out. However, men and women were born with a huge difference in strength. Not only did Jian Ruowei not struggle free, but she was also pushed by Zhou Bingtian.

She fell heavily onto the ground.

Her elbow directly grazed the floor and she felt a sharp pain. Jian Ruowei knew that her elbow must have bled. It was very painful but she stubbornly endured it. With sharp and unyielding eyes, she stared at Zhou Bingtian.

At that moment, Zhou Bingtian actually felt some fear.

Sensing that he was actually frightened by a woman's gaze, Zhou Bingtian became even angrier.

His expression became even gloomier. He took a few steps forward and grabbed Jian Ruowei's long hair with force. "Smelly bitch! If I don't have sex with you today, my surname won't be Zhou!"

After Zhou Bingtian finished speaking, he violently pulled Jian Ruowei's clothes.

Jian Ruowei continuously struggled, but the difference in strength between the man and the woman was too great. Her thin clothes were torn and her skin was exposed to the cool air. A wave of fear surged into Jian Ruowei's body.

"Let me go!"

The fear in her heart made Jian Ruowei panic. She randomly kicked Zhou Bingtian, wanting to push him away.

"Pa!"

A heavy slap landed on Jian Ruowei's face. The pain made half of her face numb. Her originally delicate face quickly became swollen and swollen.

Even though her clothes and hair were tattered and messy, Jian Ruowei's eyes were still bright and sharp.

"Bang."

At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked open from the outside. The loud sound shocked Zhou Bingtian so much that he subconsciously let go. Jian Ruowei took the opportunity to pull on her clothes and stood up.

"Who are you people? What are you doing here?"

Zhou Bingtian asked angrily, but those people did not respond to him at all. Instead, they walked forward and held his arm. They threw him out of the room, ignoring his struggles and clamoring.

Although she was a little frightened, Jian Ruowei quickly calmed down. She quickly tidied up her clothes and then looked at the few people who suddenly barged in.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"Miss Jian, please follow us."

After those people finished speaking, they did not wait for Jian Ruowei to speak and turned around to walk towards the door. Jian Ruowei was very puzzled but only frowned and got up to follow.

Very quickly she was brought to the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel. Other than her entering, the rest of the people stayed at the door.

There was no one in the room, and there was a computer on the table.

Jian Ruowei was very familiar with the scene in the computer, because the scene was fixed when Zhou Bingtian tore her clothes.

At this moment, the door was pushed open again.

Jian Ruowei turned around and looked at the man in front of her who was completely unfamiliar.

"Who are you? Why did you save me?"

Jian Ruowei looked at the tall and straight man in front of her vigilantly. She was sure that she had never seen this man before. But why would such a stranger monitor her every move?

"Si Shaochen."

The simple three words made Jian Ruowei reveal a look of shock and disbelief.

The man in front of her was actually President from ES Entertainment. It was rumoured that he was ruthless and decisive. His eyes were very sharp. Anyone who caught Si Shaochen's eye would be very popular!

Why did he save her?

Jian Ruowei was very puzzled. She did not think that Si Shaochen was willing to take the initiative to help her.

"Why did you do that?"

Si Shaochen saw the surprise in Jian Ruowei's eyes calm down after a few seconds. He looked at Jian Ruowei with interest. At this moment, when he heard Jian Ruowei's calm question, his eyes flashed with praise.

He liked smart women and also liked dealing with smart women.

Si Shaochen did not answer Jian Ruowei immediately. Instead, he walked to the sofa and sat down with his long legs. His sharp eyes stared straight at Jian Ruowei.

It was not until his gaze made Jian Ruowei uncomfortable that Si Shaochen spoke unhurriedly. "I saved you because you are valuable. Of course, I investigated you because you are valuable."

Jian Ruowei frowned and became even more puzzled.

"Value? I know my value very well, and I know that my value is insignificant to President of ES."

Jian Ruowei quickly calmed down. She did not reveal a greedy look like the other women in the entertainment industry when they heard the name Si Shaochen. In Si Shaochen's eyes, this was another bonus point.

In fact, from the day Si Shaochen accidentally saw Jian Ruowei in the magazine about half a year ago, Si Shaochen had been secretly observing her.

His observation over the past half a year had proved that he had not misjudged her, which was why everything that had happened today had happened.

"As long as I know your value, it is enough."

After saying those arrogant words, Si Shaochen stood up and left.

She stood in the presidential suite in a daze until her body became cold because of the cold air. Jian Ruowei then came back to her senses. She looked at the empty room blankly. The surrounding luxurious decorations reminded her that it was not a dream just now.

She had been chosen by President and Si Shaochen of the ES, although she didn't understand why he would do that.

If she really signed a contract with the ES, her chances of success would be ten times or even a hundred times higher than now. This was a huge temptation to her.

In order to save her brother and defeat that woman, Jian Ruowei knew that she should firmly hold onto Si Shaochen. Even if the price she paid was painful.

But what did it matter? She had even accepted the unspoken rules without hesitation!

Jian Ruowei smiled disapprovingly, but only she knew how much bitterness was contained in that smile.

Taking a deep breath, Jian Ruowei straightened her back and walked out with firm steps.

"Miss Jian, this is what Boss gave you."

The man who first broke into the room walked in front of Jian Ruowei and expressionlessly said, then handed her an envelope. The thickness of the envelope indicated the amount of money. Jian Ruowei took it and the self-deprecating smile on her lips deepened.

"Thank you."

Even so, Jian Ruowei still had her pride.

She smiled and thanked him, then took the envelope and left. Step by step, firm and unwavering, as if she would never regret it.

After leaving the hotel, Jian Ruowei directly took the bus to the hospital. Because she was worried about Jian Hao, she did not notice that the man who gave her the envelope had been driving behind her ever since she got on the bus.

When Jian Ruowei arrived at the hospital, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

She first paid the fee, then went to the ward to visit Jian Hao.

Carefully opening the door, Jian Ruowei saw Jian Hao curled up on the sickbed. The nurse who was sleeping next to him on the bed heard the noise and woke up.

"Miss Jian, you are here."

The nurse was an auntie in her fifties. Because she felt sorry for Jian Ruowei, she always tried to spend some time with Jian Hao.

"Auntie Wang, thank you for your hard work."

Jian Ruowei's expression was also very gentle when she faced the person who gave her warmth. She smiled and walked forward to warmly pull Auntie Wang's hand.

"You sit, I'm going to the toilet."

Auntie Wang was very considerate. She knew Jian Ruowei wanted to be alone with Jian Hao for a while, so she made up an excuse to go to the bathroom and left.

Jian Ruowei smiled gratefully and then turned around to look at Jian Hao who was not sleeping soundly.

"Brother."

Jian Ruowei called softly with a warm smile on her face. She reached out and pulled the blanket for Jian Hao.

"Weiwei, you are here."

Jian Hao opened his eyes and saw Jian Ruowei smiling at him. He immediately revealed a pure smile.

"Brother, how is your body? Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

Jian Hao shook his head and happily grabbed Jian Ruowei's wrist, unwilling to let go.

Seeing Jian Hao's innocent look, Jian Ruowei felt that whatever she did was worth it.

"Brother, you have a good rest. Soon we can be discharged from the hospital."

"When we leave the hospital, you have to take me to the amusement park."

"Okay."

Jian Ruowei held Jian Hao's hand, her eyes full of gentle light.
