Chapter 833 Dreams are luxurious

No matter how one looked at it, the timing was too coincidental, saying she had passed the audition during this time would make even the most confident person doubt themselves.

Moreover, the director’s attitude toward her had indeed improved and it was not just her imagination.

Now that it had happened, she didn’t know if the director would have used her in this way if her identity hadn’t been revealed.

"Think about it, if I were the kind of director who only looks at an actor’s background, wouldn’t I have known before yesterday? Did I ask you to audition just to put on a show for Manman? I must have thought you were very suitable for the role, so I wanted to give you a chance, don’t you think?"

Eleven didn’t know but nodded her head.

...

"Madam, why do you look so unhappy? Didn’t you get the TV contract? You should be celebrating happily."

"I don’t know... it just feels so bleak..."

Because from today onward, she would suspect any collaboration offered to her might be because of Gu Liancheng.

"Why does it feel bleak?" Su Qing didn’t understand.

"Xiaoqing, do you know why I wanted to study at West Shadow?"

"To become an actor?"

"Why become an actor?"

"Because of a dream?"

"A dream?"

Upon hearing this, Eleven laughed out loud.

"I don’t have any dreams. Dreams are a luxury to me. I never thought about such intangible things... From a young age, I felt that money was the most important thing. If my mom hadn’t been poor, she wouldn’t have abandoned me. Becoming an actor was also about thinking I could become a star and make a lot of money. That was the ultimate goal."

Su Qing laughed again, "Isn’t that good? You are on your way to achieving it now. Madam, you will definitely become popular, there’s no need to worry about that."

"I’m not worried about that..." Eleven shook her head, "I don’t know... My heart feels empty, as if I have gained something yet gained nothing at all."

Perhaps she was contemplating whether being an actor was the future path she truly wanted to take.

She had asked Fei’er why she enrolled at West Shadow, and Fei’er’s answer was that she drew lots!

Yes, drew lots. The wealthy and capricious Miss Fei attended whichever school she landed on by drawing lots, and having drawn West Shadow, she ended up here, saying, "Dreams? I don’t have those."

Like Eleven, she did not have dreams.

Why must everyone have a dream?

Eleven felt that Gu Liancheng also didn’t have dreams. Growing up in that environment, his so-called dreams were probably just to have a lot of money.

"What is your dream?" Eleven asked Su Qing.

"Putting it like that all of a sudden... I guess I don’t have dreams either... haha," Su Qing laughed heartily, "Maybe it’s just too far in the past, who remembers having dreams as a child anymore. As long as I can solve my basic needs and live happily, that’s enough. If you ask what my dream is now, it would be to find a wife and start a perfect family!"

"Shall we go to the Second Hospital?"

"Eh?"

The topic changed so abruptly that Su Qing was momentarily stunned.

He then realized she was talking about the Second Hospital.

Because that was where Madam Shang was.

...

She arrived at the Second Hospital and found Luo Qing’s ward.

She had always felt that even if her indifferent biological mother died, she would not be moved, but in the end, she still came here.

Eleven did not enter the ward, standing outside and looking inside through the transparent glass window.

Luo Qing had been hospitalized, and her illness, which had been hidden from everyone, was exposed. The Shang family would not allow her to leave the hospital, requiring further exams and treatment plans.
