An Lanâs face was burning. It was as if she had slapped herself in the face.
Her uncle rolled his eyes at his wife, âAlright, itâs not like enemies donât come together. As time goes by, love will develop. Moreover, An Lan has to go to the courthouse frequently, so they have to see each other often. As time goes by, the love seeds grow.â
âThatâs true.âJi Jia nodded. The two of them chimed in, as if they had witnessed the entire process of their relationship.
An Lan forcefully changed the topic, âHow did you know? Weâve only been dating for three days.â
âAuntie Chen said it, the one who introduced me to Judge Xu.âJi Jia scooped some rice for her, âAnd Xu Bohan added me on Wechat today.â
An Lan was stunned, but she frowned, displeased.
She didnât like the fact that the man had gotten close to her family so soon after they started dating. If they were to get married, it would be a natural outcome and she didnât like to be persuaded by her family.
âHe just asked me what you like,âJi Jia could read her mind, âHe said he wanted to get to know you better, but he didnât flatter me.â
An Lan finally felt relieved, âAlthough we are dating, it hasnât been long. It still depends on whether the two of us are suitable. Auntie, donât tell him too much.â
âI didnât say anything,âJi Jia sighed, âIâm really happy for you. I hope you can meet someone who understands you and have your own family. Your parents are getting more and more outrageous.â
âWhatâs wrong?â An Lan raised her eyebrows.
Ji Jia shook her head, âA few days ago, your parents came to see me. They said that An Ningâs illness hasnât improved at all in the mental hospital. I donât know where they heard the news that thereâs a mental hospital in Shanghai that has excellent medical treatment. Thereâs a drug that can improve the brainâs sensitivity, but itâs a little more expensive. One treatment costs 50,000 yuan and two treatments per month. They want to transfer An Ning there.â
An Lanâs temples throbbed, âAre they crazy? Iâve consulted a lot of people about this mental hospital. Itâs already very good. If there was such a good hospital in Shanghai, I would have sent An Ning there myself.â
Ji Jia sighed, âThey probably wanted me to advise you but I didnât. They got more muddle-headed as they got older. Some hospitals arenât that easy to trust. Nowadays, many places are just using pyramid schemes to scam people.â
An Lan suddenly felt tired. She had a feeling that her parents wouldnât let it go just like that.
However, she was still afraid that An Zhehui and his wife would go around borrowing money. These two were willing to do anything for An Ning.
After returning home, she gave An Zhehui a call. An Ahehui said, âYour call came at the right time as I was about to visit you recently...â
âWhere did you hear that the hospital was good?â An Lan asked.
âYour mother heard it when she was square dancing.â
â...â
An Lan was so angry that she laughed.
âI know you might not believe me if I told you directly,â An Zhehui said, âI even specially contacted the doctor at the hospital and told him about the situation. The doctor said that they had cured many people with An Ningâs cases. You donât want your sister to be crazy for the rest of her life right?You canât give up when thereâs an opportunity. Our family isnât a family that canât afford eating without that much of moneyâ
âYouâre right,â An Lan didnât want to confront them directly, âTell me the name of the hospital and the doctorâs contact information. Iâll check it out thoroughly. If Itâs true, Iâll definitely send her over.â
