How Could Such a Despicable Thing Like You Be Born?

Ye Chu hurried to the hospital, afraid that her mother's emotional outbursts would worsen her condition.

In truth, she couldn't explain her feelings toward her mother. Growing up, her mother never cared about her studies or interests. She didn't care if Ye Chu was bullied outside and never truly understood her. Ye Chu had to hide her real personality, always pretending to be weak and obedient. Only then, when her mother was drunk, would she sometimes hold her and give her a little bit of motherly affection.

But even so, Ye Chu still felt that her mother was the most important person to her, the one she depended on to survive.

As soon as she reached the hospital ward, the family members of other patients surrounded her.

"Miss, please transfer your mother to another hospital! We can't stand her staying up all night, cursing and shouting!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for causing trouble for everyone. I'll go in and talk to her right away," Ye Chu apologized, taking a deep breath before pushing open the door and stepping inside.

He Shuxin was still cursing non-stop. When she saw Ye Chu, her voice became even harsher.

"Look at what you're wearing! What kind of decent girl stays out all night? Tell me, where did you go? You never study properly! How did I give birth to such a despicable thing like you? Do you not want to pay for my treatment? Are you just waiting for me to die?"

"Mom, can you stop yelling?" Ye Chu frowned, her voice filled with helplessness. "This is a hospital. You're disturbing the other patients."

"If they can't sleep, then they should leave! What does that have to do with me?" He Shuxin glared at her.

"Mom, can you be reasonable?" Ye Chu tried her best to control her emotions, but her voice still rose slightly.

"Why am I not being reasonable? They paid to stay in the hospital, and so did I! If they don't want to hear me, then put me in a VIP ward! Can you even afford that?" The louder she shouted, the more her face turned pale. Suddenly, her body swayed, and she looked like she was about to faint.

"Doctor, doctor! My mom's condition is unstable, please come quickly!" Ye Chu noticed something was wrong and ran outside to call for help.

He Shuxin felt dizzy before she suddenly lost consciousness. When she woke up, she found herself in a different room.

"Where is this..."

"You're awake! Your daughter helped you move to the VIP ward. You're really lucky!" the nurse said with a smile.

"Lucky? My daughter had to go out and sell herself just to get me into this ward. I'm really lucky, aren't I?" He Shuxin sneered.

The nurse's face changed, and she quickly walked out. As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Ye Chu standing by the door, her lips tightly pressed together, looking sad.

The nurse awkwardly nodded at her before closing the door and walking away.

Ye Chu leaned weakly against the hallway wall, looking up at the ceiling as she clenched her fists tightly.

Actually, her mother was right. The hospital fees were indeed paid with money she "sold" herself for. She had no right to complain. She knew that. But why couldn't she stop the tears from falling?

The only good thing about the VIP ward was that it was a single room with soundproofing. Even if He Shuxin cursed loudly, she wouldn't disturb other patients.

The doctor said her condition had worsened. If they couldn't find a matching kidney soon, her life would be in danger.

Ye Chu sat on the long bench outside the ward, her face filled with worry. She had searched everywhere for a matching kidney. She had been saving money for the surgery. Was there really no hope left?

"Ye Chu?"

Suddenly, a surprised voice called out from above her.

Ye Chu looked up and saw Gu Leheng was walking toward her with a look of surprise on his face.

He was accompanied by an elegant and beautiful woman, and Ye Chu felt like she had seen her before.

After thinking for a moment, she realized that the woman was Shen Zhiyan, the newly crowned movie queen.

"It's really you!" Gu Leheng said in surprise. But when he noticed Ye Chu’s red and swollen eyes, his smile faded. He asked seriously, "Who bullied you?"

"No one, no one bullied me," Ye Chu quickly shook her head.

"Then why are you crying?" Gu Leheng asked with concern. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

For a moment, Ye Chu almost blurted it out. She almost asked Gu Leheng to help her find a kidney for her mother.

But when she met Shen Zhiyan’s unfriendly gaze, she snapped back to reality.

Shen Zhiyan looked at her with obvious disdain, even glancing at her dress with contempt.

Maybe she recognized that Ye Chu’s pink dress was a cheap imitation of the one she had worn on the red carpet a few days ago.

Her expression became even more scornful.

Gu Leheng and Shen Zhiyan had come to the hospital together for some reason, and their relationship was probably significant.

Ye Chu couldn’t do anything that might cause a misunderstanding, especially since Gu Muxuan had warned her that morning to stay away from Gu Leheng.

Thinking of this, Ye Chu stood up and politely nodded at Gu Leheng. "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Gu. I don’t need any help. I’ll go back to my ward now."

With that, Ye Chu quickly turned and left.

As she closed the door behind her, she heard Shen Zhiyan curiously ask, "Leheng, who is she?"

"Just a friend," Gu Leheng answered casually.

This simple answer unexpectedly made Ye Chu feel a small warmth in her heart.

So, not all people from wealthy families were heartless and ruthless.

By the time she returned to the Ye family’s house from the hospital, it was already past four in the afternoon.

She walked through the yard, heading toward the small warehouse where she lived. But then, she saw Ye Shiyun walking toward her, supporting Gu Muchen’s arm.

The moment she saw Gu Muchen, Ye Chu reflexively lowered her head and turned away.

Gu Muchen’s gaze instantly turned cold as he watched Ye Chu trying to avoid him, as if she were something disgusting.

"Ye Chu!" Ye Shiyun called out loudly when she saw her trying to leave.

Ye Chu had planned to pretend she didn’t hear and quickly escape, but the housekeeper, Yang, hurried over and grabbed her arm.

"Miss called you. Are you deaf?"

Ye Chu had no choice but to stop. She stood still, lowered her head, and stared at her toes without saying a word.

"Ye Chu, where’s the bag I asked you to fetch for me last night?" Ye Shiyun walked up to her, still holding Gu Muchen’s arm. Her voice was deliberately soft and gentle as she continued, "There were very important things in my bag. I specially picked something from it as a gift for Muchen. You wouldn’t have taken it and sold it, would you?"
