No one expected that the person who crushed the old lady to death was Ye Xia, whom she had been bullying for a long time.

At first, the old lady didn't seem to understand what she was saying. After hearing Ye Xia's words, she stared at Ye Xia and was stunned for two seconds.

When she came to her senses, she rolled her eyes and fainted without warning.

...

Grandma Mu is hospitalized again.

The old lady who was hospitalized before was in good spirits and no different from ordinary people, but this time it was different. She was white-haired and lay weakly on the hospital bed, as if she had entered a state of near death overnight.

From being full of fighting spirit to being on the verge of death, it only takes the time it takes to close your eyes and open them again.

Qin Zheng was busy at the hospital with Mu Jingsheng. After all, he was Ye Yun's father. Since Ye Yun couldn't help, he, as her son-in-law, should at least lend a hand.

After returning home, Qin Zheng told Ye Yun everything that had happened at the hospital.

The more proud and powerful a person is, the more fearful they are of death. After the old lady recovered, she even insisted that Mu Jingsheng send her abroad for treatment.

Although Lin'an City has advanced medical standards in China, it is still helpless when it comes to cancer.

The old lady was knowledgeable and knew that the medical standards abroad were high. The first thing she said to Mu Jingsheng after regaining consciousness was: "Send me abroad."

However, her condition was already in its late stage, and there was little chance of a cure even abroad.

Her eldest nephew, who was also the doctor in charge of her condition, comforted her: "Don't go out and suffer. To tell you the truth, go back and eat and drink as you please, understand?"

As a doctor, I'm used to life and death, so I'll just say it as bluntly as possible.

Grandma Mu wouldn't listen and insisted that Mu Jingsheng send her abroad for treatment. When Mu Jingsheng hesitated even slightly, she scolded him for being heartless, saying that he wished she would die so he could properly marry Ye Xia.

Goodness, that's what you said.

The eldest nephew from the maternal family grew up with Mu Jingsheng and was his cousin. The two brothers had a good relationship since childhood. Unable to bear the old lady's insults towards Mu Jingsheng and not wanting to put him in a difficult position, she pulled Mu Jingsheng away from the ward.

After Mu Jing came out, he asked, "Is there any possibility of her receiving treatment abroad given her health condition?"

My cousin waved his hand, his expression unreadable.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, his facial expression made it clear.

The old lady's noisy voice could still be heard from the ward.

Mu Jingsheng was in a dilemma.

Since the old lady wants to go abroad, regardless of whether there is any possibility of treatment, he has to send her abroad, otherwise what will happen to his reputation in the future?

He is a well-known entrepreneur.

For a well-known entrepreneur, reputation is extremely important; a slight misstep can lead to disgrace and ruin.

"Ugh...so annoying!"

The scolding coming from the ward was irritating. The older cousin, an impatient man, knew that Mu Jingsheng was in a difficult position, so he simply took off his white coat and kicked open the ward door with a bang.

"Auntie! Haven't you finished yelling?!"

My cousin threw his white coat aside, his middle-aged face grim, and angrily rebuked, "No matter how much you make a scene, it's no use! Jingsheng is your son, you can't go against him, but I won't tolerate you!"

“I’ll be the bad guy today. I’ll tell you straight out that you have terminal cancer. Don’t even think about going abroad. Even if you pray to Buddha, it won’t help!”

“If you insist on going abroad, Jingsheng is not unwilling to send you. Sending you abroad will give him peace of mind and a good reputation. He would be more than happy to send you away!”

"But you need to think this through. Your illness is incurable. If you die abroad, no one will be there to collect your body. You won't be able to come back, and there won't be anywhere to bury you! Think about it carefully!"

After finishing his sentence, my cousin grabbed the white coat he had thrown aside and turned to leave aggressively.

The ward was silent.

Grandma Mu was almost stunned by her nephew's scolding. She stared blankly at the door, mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.

Her eyes lit up when Mu Jingsheng's figure came into view.

But soon, as if she had thought of something else, the light in her eyes dimmed again, and she looked old and frail, as if all her energy had been drained away.

Are you still going abroad?

Mu Jingsheng stood at the door, remained silent for a few seconds, and then solemnly asked this question.

This time, the old lady didn't say anything...

...

late at night.

While everyone should have been asleep, someone quietly pushed open the bedroom door. A hunched figure carrying a large cloth bag stealthily prepared to make a getaway.

This person was none other than Aunt Li.

Upon learning that the old lady really had cancer, the shrewd woman immediately realized that the old lady had lost power.

While the old lady was still in the hospital, she secretly ran back, packed her things, and ran away.

She had treated Ye Xia quite badly while she was with the old lady. Now that the old lady had fallen, no one could protect her. Why wouldn't she run away as soon as possible?

Should we wait for Ye Yun to deal with her?

Thinking this, Aunt Li tightened the cloth bag on her back and quickened her pace.

The large bag contained all the benefits she had gained from the Mu family over the years. Some were gifts from the old lady, while others she had stolen when the old lady wasn't looking. With these things by her side, she could live a comfortable life anywhere she went.

Aunt Li reached out to touch the door latch.

A chilling voice suddenly rang out in the dark living room:

Where are we going?

"ah!"

Aunt Li was so startled by the sudden voice that she almost jumped up and let out a terrified scream.

despair.

Suddenly the lights came on.

The expensive crystal chandelier illuminated the entire living room as if it were daytime, and it also illuminated the panic on Aunt Li's pale old face.
