Jiang Tingzhou tried to stand up on his own, but as soon as he tried, his body began to sway, and Xu Wan quickly went to support him.

He looked at the woman clinging to his arm and couldn't help but say, "I'm a bit heavy, my wife, you've had a hard time."

"No, it's not heavy."

Xu Wan's eyes were slightly red.

The two walked into the courtyard; the winter night wind was cold.

The gust of wind helped Jiang Tingzhou regain some of his senses.

Xu Wan took the man's arm and whispered, "I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have needed to drink so much with other people."

Jiang Tingzhou raised his other hand and ruffled the woman's stray hairs. "If you don't marry me, you won't have to worry about your mother going to jail again."

"That's the An family's fault, not yours."

"But An Jia's ultimate goal is to target me."

Xu Wan couldn't argue with Jiang Tingzhou, so she had to shut up.

After the two got into the car, Xu Wan drove very slowly, worried that Jiang Tingzhou might feel uncomfortable.

On the way back, there were fewer cars, and the warm-toned streetlights shone down from above, shining into the car through the windshield.

Looking at the road ahead, Jiang Tingzhou said, "Wife, I'll go with you to Shenghe Hospital after get off work tomorrow for a checkup."

"What kind of examination?"

Because she had to drive, Xu Wan could only glance at the man out of the corner of her eye.

Jiang Tingzhou said, "I talked with Gong Yanli today. According to the law, no hospital or individual can draw blood from minors. Otherwise, it is the crime of illegally collecting blood. Depending on the victim's circumstances, the maximum sentence could be life imprisonment."

Xu Wan also knew about this law, but she said, "I don't actually remember this matter, and my body hasn't had any abnormalities over the years."

“No.” Jiang Tingzhou looked at Xu Wan and said seriously, “Your family situation is special. Your father passed away, your mother is in prison, and you were able to go to school with my help. You took out a loan for college and have been working to support yourself. You’ve had a chronic problem with dizziness for years, sometimes accompanied by vomiting, but you never went to the hospital to save money. It wasn’t until after we got married that you went to the hospital with me and found out that it was a sequela of shock after a blood draw when you were young. Do you understand?”

Xu Wan understood as soon as the man said that.

Some illnesses are like that; they can suddenly appear when needed.

Xu Wan herself did not want to lie about herself, but since the An family had acted unjustly first, she had no reason to repay evil with kindness.

"I see."

Xu Wan nodded earnestly.

Jiang Tingzhou smiled and said, "You're so smart. You just need to get a checkup, and I'll take care of the rest. Back then, the An family had their blood drawn by an old nurse at Shenghe Hospital. We've already talked to her, and she'll admit everything."

"So... will this have any impact on the nurse?"

"There will be, but not many, and the Gong family owns many hospitals, so she won't lose her job."

Jiang Tingzhou's words reassured Xu Wan.

The car has already driven into the underground parking garage.

After parking the car, Xu Wan looked at Jiang Tingzhou and asked, "Are you going to use this case to get the An family to drop the charges against my mother?"

"what you think?"

When Jiang Tingzhou said this, a meaningful expression appeared on his face.

“I think so…” Xu Wan nodded after speaking, “I think this is acceptable, as long as my mother doesn’t go to jail, anything is fine.”

She had no ambition and didn't want to pursue the An family's crimes; she only hoped that her mother would be safe and sound.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Tingzhou reached out and grabbed the woman's hand tightly, saying, "I'm sorry, but I will not let any of those who bullied my wife get away with it."
