Boâai Hospital, Ward 703â¦
Shi Fang stood at the door, blocking everyoneâs curious gazes. But the conversation came intermittently. Recently, the matter of the Xiao familyâs marriage with Yan Zhihuan had been spreading like wildfire.
Outsiders thought that Old Madam Yan still regarded Yan Zhihuan as her granddaughter. They felt that the marriage between the two big families would definitely be very interesting and paid great attention to it.
Hearing the conversation inside, they couldnât help sighing.
â⦠It turns out that woman has such a bad relationship with the Yan family, and sheâs already done so much. The bigger the family, the more complicated it is. Things arenât as simple as they look.â
âIsnât it too disgusting to fake pregnancy to get married? Do the people of the Xiao family all have pig brains? Why didnât they check properly?â
âThey probably didnât expect her to be so brazen. After all, this kind of thing is very easy to expose. The lower the level of a lie, the more people will believe it.â
âShe faked her pregnancy and tried to find someone to take the blame for a fake miscarriage. In the end, she encountered a real pregnant woman and almost caused her to have a miscarriage. Sheâs really unlucky.â
âShe went to look for trouble when the other person was getting married, so she deserves to be taught a lesson. No wonder Mr. Yan is so angry. It wasnât easy for him to get married at such an old age, and heâs even going to have a child. But they almost⦠Mmââ
Before the man could finish speaking, the person beside him covered his mouth. âShhââ
Having a child at an old age? If Yan Wangchuan heard this, he would probably be taught a lesson.
Shi Fang leaned against the door.?Actually, this person is right. Yan Wangchuan is indeed going to have a child at an old age.
At this moment, Yan Zhihuanâs scream came from inside the room. Shi Fang felt a chill. He turned his head and looked through the glass window on the door.
â¦
Mrs. Xiao was pulling Yan Zhihuanâs hair and slapping her face.
When men fought, they punched and kicked. But when it came to women, they did everythingâscratching, hair pulling, and clothes pulling. As long as they could use it, even their nails were sharp weapons.
There were already a few bloody scratches on Yan Zhihuanâs face.
Xiao Nan and Xiao Jingan tried to stop her.
But Mrs. Xiao refused to let go. At this moment, she couldnât care less about her dignity.
âYou stinky girl, how dare you lie to me and say that youâre pregnant? In order to marry into our family, youâre really unscrupulous. You took the initiative to seduce Jingan and even colluded with the doctor to deceive usâ¦â
Mrs. Xiao vented all the anger she had received at the Yan residence some time ago on her. She was so angry that her body was shaking, and she reached out to pull her hair.
âAh!â Yan Zhihuan screamed and retaliated.
Zhang Suqiu naturally couldnât stand seeing her daughter being bullied, so she rushed over too.
âHow dare you hit my daughter?â
âShe deserves it. Sheâs too vicious. Itâs fine if you two want to die, but you even want to drag our Xiao family into this mess and distort the truth!â The more Mrs. Xiao thought about it, the angrier she became, and her heart was burning with rage.
âYou wretched girl, to think that Iâve been so good to you these past few months.
âYou caused trouble yourself, yet you still want to drag our Xiao family down with you!â
Yan Zhihuan sneered. âWere you treating me well? You did it for the child in my womb!â
âIf you didnât have a child, what right would you have to enter our Xiao family? Are you worthy? Old Madam Yan saw that your father passed away when you were young, so she took care of you. Do you really treat yourself as the biological granddaughter of the Yan family?â Mrs. Xiao sneered.
âEverything you have now was obtained by relying on the Yan family. Yet you still werenât satisfied.
âYouâre clearly a pheasant, but you wanted to be a phoenix on a parasol tree? Stop dreaming!â
Yan Zhihuan was angered by her, so she went up to hit her. Then the Xiao familyâs father and son joined in. There was persuasion and pulling as the five of them fought together, and the scene was very chaotic.
Qiao Wangbei bent down, picked up the carving knife on the floor, blew it with his lips, and put it in his pocket.
Yan Wangchuan stood at the side, watching coldly.
Yan Shaochen turned his head to look at Fu Chen and found him leaning against the wall and playing with his phone, looking as if this had nothing to do with him.
You lit a fire and caused it to burn so violently, yet youâre still in the mood to play with your phone?
How carefree.
[Iâm here. Donât worry.] Fu Chen was still texting Song Fengwan.
[Whatâs the situation now? Are you already at the hospital?] Song Fengwan had checked Baidu Maps earlier and found it would take more than half an hour to get there. When Yan Shaochen drove over, the car sped rapidly and only took half an hour to arrive.
Song Fengwan misunderstood and thought that they had just arrived, so she sent a message.
[Weâre here.] Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at the few people fighting.
[Howâs the situation now? Uncle Yan drank a lot tonight.]
[Pretty good. Theyâre having a friendly meeting.]
[Are you sure?]
Yan Wangchuan was furious when he left just now. How could they possibly be having a friendly meeting?
[Of course.] Fu Chen replied very firmly.
The two sides fought until the door was pushed open. Only then did the five of them separate.
âPresident Yan, sheâs here.â Yan Wangchuanâs assistant brought a doctor into the ward.
Yan Zhihuan raised her hand and brushed the messy hair on her face. When she saw the doctor, she felt as if she had fallen into a swamp. Her throat seemed to be on fire as she said anxiously, âNo, itâs all fake. Everything is fake!â
Mrs. Xiaoâs eyes darkened, and she felt dizzy.
This doctor was the one who had received them when they rushed to the hospital. Who would have thought that Yan Zhihuan would collude with the doctor and act so rashly?
Thinking about how she had been kept in the dark like a fool by her, she wished she could bang her head against a wall and die.
The female doctor said resentfully, âShe begged me and gave me fifty thousand yuan to help her lie. I didnât want to do it either. But Iâve been in a hurry to spend money recently, and our hospital isnât strict with checking, so Iâ¦â
âNonsense. How much money did they give you to slander me?!â Yan Zhihuan was hysterical.
Now, it wasnât a question about money at all. It was about offending Yan Wangchuan and whether she could continue living in Nanjiang.
âShe originally said that it would be enough to help her hide it once. When she had sex with Young Master Xiao again, she would definitely get pregnant. She didnât need to be pregnant for ten months. She could still give birth after eight months, and C-section a couple of months earlier wouldnât be a problem either,â the doctor explained.
Xiao Jingan was stunned.?So thatâs what this woman planned.
But now that he had been released on bail, he felt annoyed just looking at her. Besides, he wasnât that crazy and lacked women to such an extent that he would lay his hands on a pregnant woman.
âBut Young Master Xiao didnât touch her, so she had no choice. In a few days, her stomach should have started showing, and she wouldnât have been able to hide the matter anymore. So she threatened me to help her fake a miscarriage.
âOtherwise, the hospital would find out I accepted unethical money. I didnât want to lose my jobâ¦â
Yan Zhihuanâs face was deathly pale. It was as if a death god was strangling her throat, making it difficult for her to breathe.
âActually, she was pregnant before. A dilation and curettage is very harmful to oneâs health, and itâs very difficult for her to get pregnant,â the doctor added.
âDilation and curettage?â Mrs. Xiao sneered. âWhat did you say at the Yan residence last time? You said you gave your first time to my son?â
âItâs all her nonsense!â Yan Zhihuan didnât expect the doctor to talk so much and expose everything. She was anxious and angry.
âYouâll know if you take her to check. You can easily find out if sheâs had an abortion or not. Is there a need for me to lie?â She couldnât wait to perform now, hoping that Yan Wangchuan would let her off later.
âYou little slut!â Mrs. Xiao was furious and rushed over to kick her.
Yan Zhihuan endured it forcefully.
She looked at the many people in the room and knew that her death was approaching. She screamed shrilly, âSo what if I lied to you?! I did it! I did it all!â
The sharp scream pierced everyoneâs ears.
Fu Chen put away his phone.
She finally stopped pretending and pulled the mask off her face. It was extremely ugly.
After she shouted, the entire ward fell dead silent. Her hair was messy, and she was wearing a thin hospital gown. In order to pretend that she was pregnant and not feeling well, she had lost a lot of weight recently. She looked disheveled and skinny like a ghoul.
âHuanhuanâ¦â Zhang Suqiu was furious.?How can she admit this?
âEven if I lied to you, it was your Xiao family who caused it. Youâre a bunch of snobs. In the past, Grandma doted on me, so you tried to curry favor with me. Now that she has a granddaughter, you want to kick me away?
âBack then, who was the one who seduced me, gave me sweetness, and asked me out? It was Xiao Jingan. He forced me.
âIt was you who dangled something in front of me and created a fantasy for me in the first place, and I fell head first into it. Now, you still want to seduce Song Fengwan? Dream on!â
Yan Zhihuan exposed the fake mask of the Xiao family, making the three of them feel embarrassed.
At the end of the day, none of them were good people. The Xiao family curried favor with the powerful and wanted to cling to the rich and influential. Therefore, they flattered the powerful and trampled on the weak, causing trouble for themselves.
âYan Zhihuan!â How could Xiao Jingan not be angry when his thoughts were exposed in front of Yan Wangchuan?
âItâs a pity that Song Fengwan doesnât like you at all. That girl is very impressive. Not only doesnât she like you, but she even beat you up. You deserve it!â
âYouâ¦â Xiao Jingan was so angry that his head was throbbing.
âI donât have anything else to do here, right? Can I leave?â The doctor really couldnât stay any longer.
Just as she turned around to leave, Yan Zhihuan suddenly rushed over and tried to stop her, but Yan Wangchuan blocked her.
She didnât dare to face Yan Wangchuan head-on and shrank back in fear.
âThe Xiao family is like that, but what about our family? My mother treated you well.â Yan Wangchuan looked at her seriously.
Yan Zhihuan smiled bitterly.
âYour family helping us was nothing more than just to satisfy your vanity, right? You merely gave us a bit of charity every month. Youâre so rich yet so stingy. You even wanted us to be grateful and curry favor with you every day.
âDid she really treat me as her granddaughter? She just didnât have any grandchildren and used me to pass the time.
âThe moment Song Fengwan came, didnât she kick me away? Did she treat me as her granddaughter?â
Qiao Wangbei sneered. âYouâre not her granddaughter to begin with. If you didnât want any help, you should have just said it directly. After taking the money, youâre still acting so proud and self-righteous. Who are you trying to fool with your revolting behavior?â
âEven if Old Madam Yan was selfish and used you to pass the time, you should still be grateful that you could live so comfortably and thank her.
âKick you away? It wouldnât be too much to kick you to death!â
Fu Chen narrowed his eyes at Yan Zhihuan up.
In the end, it was because she was too greedy and felt that the Yan family had given her too little. She hadnât treated herself as an outsider and had still schemed for the Yan familyâs assets. When her hopes fell through, she bit back.
She was a typical ingrate.
Yan Zhihuan choked on her words due to Qiao Wangbei, and her face flushed red.
âSong Fengwanâs surname isnât Yan yet. No matter what, Iâm still a descendant of the Yan family and have a blood relationship with her. That damn old woman actually hit me because of her?â Yan Zhihuan was very vengeful.
She kept remembering how Old Madam Yan had beaten her up with a cane and couldnât take it lying down.
âI wanted to ruin the wedding on purpose. I originally wanted to bump into Song Fengwan and drag her to hell. I wanted to see what that arrogant brat looks like when she kneels and begs for mercy in front of me.â
Yan Shaochen suddenly looked at Fu Chen.?Kneel and beg for mercy? Yan Zhihuan is really tired of living.
âThen why did you slander someone else?â Yan Shaochen had never known that she had such a dark heart.
Before Qiao Aiyun and Song Fengwan came, she was obedient and docile in front of Old Madam Yan. She would occasionally throw a tantrum and be a little unreasonable, but Old Madam Yan just treated it as a young lady losing her temper. She had never dared to be so presumptuous.
Damn old woman?
If Old Madam Yan heard this, she would probably be heartbroken.
âI originally planned to leave. But when I thought about the many good things in the lounge, I planned to take a look. Unfortunately, I didnât find anything. When I came out and saw Qiao Aiyun, I took advantage of the situationâ¦â
The nasty and dirty things Yan Zhihuan had done had already been exposed, so she didnât care and dared to say anything now.
Fu Chen sneered.?Her first target was actually my Wanwan?
How bold.
â¦
Yan Wangchuan looked at her coldly and said nothing.
âAnd you!â Yan Zhihuan suddenly pointed at Yan Wangchuan.
Shi Fang looked through the window.?Is this woman crazy? Sheâs criticizing everyone one by one. Knowing that she canât escape this calamity, has she decided just to give up and act recklessly?
Yan Wangchuan narrowed his eyes but didnât say anything.
âIâve known you since I was young. I called you Uncle every day, and I tried my best to please you. But you didnât even look at me!
âYouâve never even treated me nicely, and youâve never thought highly of me!
âWeâve known each other for more than twenty years. But youâve never been nice to me, and youâve always been cold to me. I had to suffer from frustration every day in your house because of you.â
Yan Wangchuanâs face was cold, and his eyes were cold.
Just as everyone was feeling nervous, Fu Chen suddenly laughed, then Qiao Wangbei laughed too. Only Yan Shaochen was trying his best to hold it in.
âWhat are you laughing at?!â Yan Zhihuan was exasperated.
She was criticizing and blaming Yan Wangchuan, but her suffering was a joke in their eyes.
Qiao Wangbei sighed helplessly. âYou said that youâve known Senior Brother for so many years, but youâve never understood him.â
Fu Chen continued, âItâs not just you that he isnât nice to. Heâs the same to everyone. If not for that, how could he have waited until now to woo Aunt Yun? Thatâs his personality.â
âHe treats everyone the same and has never targeted you.â Qiao Wangbei was both angry and wanted to laugh at this moment.
Because of his bad personality, she criticized him.
He was being blamed for no reason.
Yan Wangchuan felt aggrieved.
âHe treats Aunt Yun and Wanwan the same way. Itâs just that heâs changed a little recently and is a little more talkative. I really canât stand seeing you slander him like this.â Fu Chen thought that this woman would say something shocking after acting so solemn.
In the end, she accused Yan Wangchuan of being too cold to her.
It was ridiculous.
Yan Zhihuan was stunned. She had really thought that Yan Wangchuan looked down on her, soâ¦
She had attached herself to the Yan family, so she was sensitive and diffident. Yan Wangchuanâs face was cold from beginning to end, so in her eyes, she naturally read between the lines.
Yan Zhihuan looked at Yan Wangchuan. Her voice choked, and she suddenly didnât know what to sayâ¦
Suddenly, Yan Wangchuan raised his arm and slapped her hard.
The force was strong, and with the slap, blood instantly burst from the corner of her mouth. Her body turned and fell to the ground.
âThis slap is for my mother. Tonight, I will announce the entire process. From now on, you and our Yan family will sever all ties and never interact with each other again!â
Zhang Suqiu suddenly came back to her senses. She wanted to say something, but she was frightened by Yan Wangchuanâs cold gaze.
âOur family has never owed you anything. Iâll hand todayâs matter to the police to deal with and detain you. You have only yourselves to blame.â
âPresident Yanâ¦â Xiao Nan wanted to say something.
Yan Wangchuan glanced at him lightly. âIâll get the company to handle it tomorrow. After the business at hand is finished, we wonât continue cooperating.â
Xiao Nan was thunderstruck.
âItâs all your fault!â Mrs. Xiao was greatly stimulated and pounced at Yan Zhihuan. âYou bitchâ¦â
The ward instantly fell into chaos again.
Five minutes later, the police arrived, and it took a lot of effort to pull them away. Yan Wangchuanâs assistant handled the rest.
The few of them left the hospital.
***
Yan Shaochen got into the elevator and heaved a long sigh of relief. He had been afraid that Yan Wangchuan wouldnât be able to control himself and really kill the mother and daughter.
âYou donât have to worry about me. I know what Iâm doing.â Yan Wangchuan looked at him. âAiyun needs someone to take care of her. I canât possibly get myself involved.â
âOh.â Yan Shaochen nodded.?Because of love, he restrained his temper. Eldest Uncle really loves her.
The atmosphere in the elevator was a little stifling. Fu Chen coughed twice and looked at Qiao Wangbei beside him. âMr. Qiao, why did you bring a knife to attend the wedding?â
It was a joyous occasion, so it was inauspicious to see knives and blood. Who would attend a wedding with a sharp weapon?
Fu Chen wanted to change the topic, but Qiao Wangbeiâs next words made his back turn cold.
âI was preparing to disturb the bridal chamber with?it1.â
The elevator was a sealed space, but Yan Wangchuan and Fu Chen suddenly felt as if an evil wind was blowing past them, and their bodies turned cold.
Who would bring a knife to disturb the bridal chamber? This was obviously to threaten and intimidate.
Yan Wangchuanâs wedding was over, so the knife was useless. He looked at Fu Chen and suddenly gloated.?When he gets married, Senior Brother will definitelyâ¦
⦠use the same move and enter with a knife.
