After Being Reborn and Bound to a System, I Became a Rich, Beautiful, and Successful Woman

17: Luo RoujingJiang Li was a bit tired from shopping, so she sat on a chair to rest.

Mu Nuan saw several milk tea shops not far away and asked Jiang Li, ”Miss, would you like some milk tea?”

Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, ”Sure, let’s go with ChaPanda. I want a Mango Sago with Pomelo.”

Mu Nuan replied, ”Alright, Miss, please wait a moment. Sister, what do you want to drink?” She then asked Mu Jin.

Before Mu Jin could speak, Jiang Li spoke up first, ”The two of you go buy it together. I’ll go see what we should have for dinner.”

”But, Miss...” Mu Jin was a bit worried about leaving her alone. What if she ran into some bad people?

It was safer for her to stay by the young lady’s side; after all, she was a Taekwondo black belt.

”It’s fine, don’t worry!” Jiang Li thought to herself that she couldn’t possibly be that unlucky.

Then, the sisters Mu Jin and Mu Nuan went to buy the milk tea.

Jiang Li found a barbecue place she had wanted to eat at before. Originally, Mu Nuan had planned for them to eat at home that evening, but now that she saw it, she definitely had to go.

There were many people queuing at this barbecue restaurant, so Jiang Li took a number and sat on a nearby stool, waiting for the sisters.

She also told them her location.

While she was waiting, she happened to encounter a situation where a woman was trying to take her own life.

It was quite a scene.

Jiang Li hadn’t intended to join the crowd, but someone nearby, rushing to see the commotion, knocked her over. She fell to her knees, and her hand was stepped on.

Jiang Li knew that if she didn’t get up soon, she might get trampled.

But there were so many people, and no one helped her. Everyone was focused on the spectacle, and with so many people rushing past, she couldn’t manage to stand up.

Just then, someone helped her up and asked, ”Are you okay?”

Jiang Li looked at the woman in front of her. She recognized her—or more accurately, she remembered her.

Last night, while giving tips on Douyin, she had entered this woman’s livestream room.

There were very few people in her livestream, so Jiang Li had just tipped a hundred or so Carnivals before leaving.

”It’s you, Luo Roujing.”

Luo Qing heard her original name and hadn’t expected anyone to know it.

Not many people knew her real name—wait, she had mentioned it in her livestream yesterday.

Perhaps she had seen the livestream. Seeing that she seemed to have been stepped on, Luo Roujing asked, ”Are you okay? I see your hand is all red from being stepped on. You should go to the hospital!”

When Mu Jin and Mu Nuan returned, they saw Jiang Li being supported by someone, her clothes stepped on, and especially her hand, which looked quite red and serious.

They rushed over and asked anxiously, ”Miss, are you alright?”

Jiang Li looked at the worried pair. ”I’m fine, don’t worry. In a bit...”

”No, Miss, we’re going to the hospital.”

As Jiang Li was being led away, she stopped them. ”Wait a moment.” She then turned to Luo Roujing and walked up to her.

”I am the chairwoman of Shengshi Entertainment. If you want to leave your company, I can help you. Here is my phone number!”

After saying that, she left a number tag with her phone number written on it.

It was the number tag from the barbecue restaurant earlier. She wrote her number on it and handed it to Luo Roujing.

Luo Roujing watched Jiang Li leave and then looked at the number tag in her hand.

She was from Shangyu Entertainment, just like Lu Yizhe.

Like Lu Yizhe, she was unwilling to be subjected to unspoken rules.

Because of this, she was shelved by Shang Gui, and no one in the company was allowed to arrange resources or work for her.

She had originally planned to leave the city, but looking at the number tag in her hand, Luo Roujing seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

She had seen Lu Yizhe leave, and now he was participating in a singing competition, gaining many fans and followers.

Seeing Lu Yizhe appearing on the trending searches, she had felt envious.

She knew she wasn’t that lucky, but now... it seemed good fortune had found her.

She was an orphan and had always longed to earn a lot of money, but reality was cruel.

She knew the entertainment industry paid well, but she had no connections, power, or resources.

Her desire to earn money was perhaps due to her childhood experiences.

But she had her principles. She fought for every role she got, usually playing small, obscure supporting roles in Hengdian.

She also loved acting, so she had persevered.

After getting into drama school, everyone in her class had become first- or second-tier stars, while she was still playing insignificant supporting roles or background characters, sometimes even playing a corpse.

Looking at the slip of paper, she encouraged herself, ”Luo Roujing, try one last time. If the outcome is still the same, then leave this place.”

On the mall’s rooftop, the person who was about to end their life was rescued by firefighters.

But as soon as they came down, they were scolded by their mother and father.

The light in the girl’s eyes seemed to dim again... At Modu Hospital,

Jiang Li was forced to the hospital by the two sisters.

She said it wasn’t that serious—if they had gone any later, the redness on her hand would probably have disappeared.

Mu Jin stood behind Jiang Li and said, ”Doctor, our young lady was stepped on. Please check if there’s anything wrong with her hand.”

The doctor asked Jiang Li to hold out her hand and examined it, occasionally asking if it hurt where he pressed.

Jiang Li really wasn’t in that much pain; she had just been stepped on a few times.

”Doctor, I’m fine. These two are just overly anxious.”

The doctor was an old man in his fifties. Hearing Jiang Li’s words, he laughed, ”Haha, little girl, it’s a good thing that people care about you. Your hand is fine; it was just stepped on and ground a few times. Apply some ointment, and it’ll be fine in a couple of days.”

Jiang Li thanked him politely, ”Thank you, Doctor.”

”You’re welcome. Go ahead and get your medicine!” After the three left, the doctor began seeing the next patient.

Mu Nuan helped Jiang Li sit down while Mu Jin went to queue for the medicine.

There were truly many people at Modu Hospital; Mu Jin queued for half an hour just to get the medicine.

Mu Jin and Mu Nuan helped Jiang Li as they prepared to leave the hospital.

When they reached the hospital entrance, Jiang Li thought she saw a familiar figure, but when she looked closer, it was gone.

She thought to herself that she must have been mistaken. How could her savior from her previous life be a student?

...In the elevator, Fu Xiangqi was wearing the uniform of Modu Affiliated Middle School, coming to visit his mother.

Today was the monthly exam; as soon as it finished, he immediately asked for leave and came to the hospital.

Fu Xiangqi had always been the top student in his grade, so after hearing his reason, the teacher immediately approved his leave.

Entering the elevator, he felt as if someone was watching him. He looked out but saw no one familiar; perhaps it was an illusion.

Composing his thoughts, he entered his mother’s ward.

Fu Youchi was there accompanying his mother, and Auntie Shen Yuan had also come.

Auntie Shen Yuan looked much better now.

He remembered that in his previous life, Auntie Shen Yuan had always suffered from mild depression.
