In your past life, you looked down on me. Now that I have been reborn, I have become your uncle.
On the day of the engagement banquet, his fiancée went missing.
Having just been reborn,...
"Beware of fire, theft, and best friends." Upon hearing this, a strong sense of shame swept over An Xinrong, and she lowered her head, pinching her palms hard.
For the first time, An Xinrong hated herself for saying those hurtful things to Zhuang Yan.
To dismiss Zhuang Yan as worthless based on a single instance, and to say that he is not good enough for Xia Wan, is clearly the case that Xia Wan is not good enough for him.
Zhuang Yan said she didn't care, but she probably resented her a lot in her heart, which is why she was indifferent when she saw her on a date with Fang Chen.
Upon arriving at the hospital, everyone gathered, and the changes between An Xinrong and Xia Wan were clearly noticeable.
They didn't know that An Xinrong almost got into a fight with Xia Wan because of Zhuang Yan.
After getting off the bus, Xia Wan affectionately linked arms with An Xinrong. Although An Xinrong did not object, she could clearly sense Xia Wan's coldness.
The current situation is clear: most people are on Zhuang Yan's side. Lu Yan and Jiang Ning are a given, and Xia Wan is new here. To stabilize the camp, she must bring An Xinrong to her side.
Xia Wan could sense An Xinrong's interest in Zhuang Yan from the observation room, and she could feel her subtle feelings even more directly on the spot.
Xia Wan hadn't expected An Xinrong to fall for Zhuang Yan. The thought that her best friend and her aunt had both fallen for her ex-fiancé made Xia Wan's teeth itch with resentment.
Ever since the engagement was called off, she had been regretting it, and now that she saw Zhuang Yan again, that regret reached its peak.
She didn't dare to think about what it would be like for Zhuang Yan to date or marry any of them. The thought of what should have been hers going into someone else's hands made her feel extremely uncomfortable, as if countless needles were piercing her heart, causing a dense, throbbing pain.
She won't give any of them a chance, especially Lu Yan.
She would rather destroy what she cannot have back.
Gu Qian was helped into the hospital by staff. After getting his number, he threatened Zhuang Yan, "Just wait, I'll show everyone your true colors soon."
Zhuang Yan stood in the corridor, gestured for them to enter, and said in a friendly tone, "Okay, I'll wait."
The test results came out quickly, and the viewers in the live stream eagerly awaited the doctor's announcement.
"The test results are in, Mr. Gu. Apart from low blood sugar, you have no other problems."
"Impossible! I'm in so much pain, how could I not be injured?"
"You have injuries, but they are all minor and not serious. Also, you have some muscle strains, so it's normal for it to hurt."
"But I feel dizzy and nauseous now, and I suspect I have a concussion."
"It's normal to feel dizzy. Did you spend the whole day in the car yesterday? Have you not rested well these past two days? Did you stay up late last night? Did you not eat anything this morning?" Low blood sugar combined with mental fatigue can easily cause dizziness and nausea.
"It's been hot lately. If you stay in an air-conditioned room for too long and can't adapt to the outside temperature, the sudden change in temperature can cause your body to feel dizzy and other symptoms."
Gu Qian said one thing, and the doctor retorted with another, leaving Gu Qian speechless.
Of course, the hospital couldn't find anything wrong, because Zhuang Yan had beaten up countless people with this method, especially back when he was in school.
In order not to cause trouble for his grandmother and make her worry, Zhuang Yan taught himself this set of hitting skills. It hurts, but no injury can be found. Even if you go to the doctor, no problem can be found. It will not leave any evidence.
Jiang Ning understands him, which is why she can retaliate against Gu Qian without holding back, and she is also certain that the hospital will not be able to find anything wrong.
As for Lu Yan, Zhuang Yan secretly told her about it in the car so as not to worry her.
But Lu Yan seemed more concerned about whether Gu Qian slept in his bed.
"He did fall asleep, but I knocked him out and kicked him off the stage not long after."
Lu Yan was unhappy because she had been eyeing the big bed in Zhuang Yan's room for a long time, but she didn't expect someone else to touch it first.
"I'll have someone change the bed as soon as I get back."
Zhuang Yan couldn't understand why Lu Yan was being difficult, but he nodded in agreement: "It's time to change it." It felt weird for two grown men to share a bed, especially since they weren't even close brothers.
The test results came back and confirmed that Gu Qian was fine, but Gu Qian refused to admit it, claiming that the program team had bribed the hospital and that the hospital's examination was not standardized and that he wanted to have the examination done at another hospital, which made the medical staff next to him furious.
"Now I've truly witnessed what shamelessness looks like." Lu Yan applauded him. "This is the largest hospital here, a public hospital, backed by the state. Do you think we can make a doctor violate medical ethics and lie with just a few words?"
Zhuang Yan sighed and said helplessly, "Gu Qian, it's one thing for you to slander me, but how could you slander the doctors here?"
People in the live stream also joined in the cursing.
Poor Zhuang Yan, I feel sorry for him. He gave up his bed for Gu Qian, and then he turned around and blamed him.
[Lu Yan was right; even though the tests didn't reveal anything, Gu Qian accused them of bribing the hospital.]
Gu Qian can't afford to play this game.
Zhuang Yan was quite helpless. He even came to film a variety show to avoid this crazy couple, but he still couldn't escape them. On his first day meeting Gu Qian, he was framed by him. If I were Zhuang Yan, I would have already lost my temper and taken action.
Gu Qian, provoked by someone, lost his temper and actually tried to rush up and hit Zhuang Yan: "Zhuang Yan, how can you be such a fake!"
This mess was something the director didn't want to see either. In order not to disturb the patients in the hospital, he quickly asked someone to take Gu Qian out of the hospital.
The director stared at the live stream chat; everyone was spamming "Gu Qian kneels down to apologize."
So as soon as they left the hospital, Lu Yan kicked Gu Qian without hesitation: "The results are in, you're not injured. Kneel down and apologize."
Gu Qian was unconvinced.
Lu Yan scoffed, "Now that you're in better spirits, you can even hit people. This morning, you needed someone to help you walk. No wonder you're an actress. Jiang Ning, what score would you give your acting skills?"
Jiang Ning said with a smile, "Let's give him one point for his shamelessness."
Gu Qian has lost face big time. He came to participate in this program hoping to save face, but he didn't expect to fall into a ditch on the first day.
Not only did Lu Yan and Jiang Ning laugh at him, but the viewers in the live stream were also laughing, and even the observers in the observation room were probably laughing at his overestimation of his abilities.
Lu Yan urged impatiently, "Hurry up and kneel down to apologize. After you apologize, we still have to go back to do our mission. We don't have time to waste with you."
Gu Qian had no words to express his suffering and could only look to Xia Wan for help.
Xia Wan didn't mean to ignore him, but she didn't know how to bring it up. After organizing her thoughts, she went to Zhuang Yan.
"Zhuang Yan, I apologize to you on behalf of Gu Qian. He's probably been too tired these past few days and mistook his dream for reality. Could you please forgive him this time for my sake?"
"Xia Wan, go back to your car and look in the mirror."
Xia Wan frowned and remained silent, knowing that he hadn't finished speaking.
Zhuang Yan looked directly into her eyes: "Your face is really ugly, I don't want to give it to you."
