Before coming to the mental hospital, Lusa had already completed Duan Meimei's discharge procedures.

In Lusa's view, this was just a matter that could be settled with some money, but Duan Meimei regarded Lusa as a god-like existence, which made her very satisfied.

"Can we go now?" Lusha handed the documents to the nurse at the door. The nurse looked left and right, confirmed repeatedly before finally nodding. Finally, she stamped a stamp, and Lusha took Duan Meimei away.

Seeing the sunshine outside again, Duan Meimei closed her eyes as if enjoying it, and tilted her face up to fully feel it.

"You are free now." Lusha smiled sinisterly, thinking that Duan Meimei would be an obedient dog and help her bite Jiang Ranran.

Duan Meimei turned her head and looked at Lusha with a silly smile on her face: "Thank you, Miss Lusha."

"You're welcome. This is what I should do, but you should also remember your promise." Lusa looked at Duan Meimei meaningfully.

"Don't worry, from now on, I will only listen to you." Duan Meimei looked back with eyes full of loyalty.

Lusa smiled with satisfaction, her beautiful eyes fixed on Duan Meimei, as if she was looking at an obedient dog.

In the hospital, Xiao Yu has passed the critical period after rescue, but is still lying unconscious in the ICU.

Through the glass window, Jiang Ranran looked at her with a pale face, sighing from time to time.

"Xiao Yu, when will you wake up?" Jiang Ranran held the glass with her slender jade fingers, looking eagerly.

Maybe her deep sigh was heard by God. At this time, Jiang Ranran's cell phone rang. She hurriedly answered it. It was Gu Tingchen calling!

"Ranran, have you seen the news? I will be back to you soon." Gu Tingchen's voice was as gentle as water.

When Jiang Ranran heard his voice full of security, her nose suddenly felt sore and she was speechless.

She knew that once she opened her mouth, she would become hoarse and tremble uncontrollably, and Gu Tingchen would definitely be worried about her.

"Ranran? Why aren't you talking?" Gu Tingchen hesitated for a moment, and then his voice became worried.

Jiang Ranran couldn't help it, so she made up her mind and hung up the phone!

Squatting on the ground, Jiang Ranran couldn't help but burst into tears. Her distressed shoulders trembled uncontrollably, like a pitiful little rabbit.

Suddenly, a big hand gently rested on her shoulder, trying to comfort her.

Jiang Ranran's heart tightened slightly. She didn't expect Gu Tingchen to come back so soon. He must have called her after arriving at the place. Did he want to give her a surprise?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ranran felt that her tears were even more uncontrollable. She stood up, turned her head, and threw herself into his arms.

The man was obviously startled when he was hugged, and his body seemed to freeze suddenly. He seemed to have not expected that Jiang Ranran would hug him first.

"You're finally back. You don't know that a lot of things happened during the time you were away..." Jiang Ranran leaned her head on his shoulder with some blame, crying aggrievedly, her thin body still twitching.

The big hand gently stroked her back gently, carefully as if afraid of hurting Jiang Ranran.

Jiang Ranran felt safe and secure in the man's arms, but suddenly, she sniffed and felt that the man's scent was very strange, not like Gu Tingchen's. Although it smelled good, it did not belong to Gu Tingchen.

She suddenly raised her head and looked at the man's face. It was Meng Xianchen.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Ranran took several steps back in panic, quickly distancing herself from Meng Xianchen.

Seeing her alert look, Meng Xianchen's eyes were filled with disappointment, "Do you hate me so much?"

"No..." Jiang Ranran lowered her head. How could she hate her savior? She just didn't like him, that's all.

Meng Xianchen raised his hand, signaling Jiang Ranran not to explain. He didn't want to listen at all, so Jiang Ranran shut up.

"Honestly, I would rather you think of me as Gu Tingchen." Meng Xianchen smiled bitterly. With his proud personality, he would never be willing to be anyone's substitute, but for Jiang Ranran, he would rather be Gu Tingchen's substitute.

Jiang Ranran understood what Meng Xianchen meant. She lowered her head and said nothing.

She couldn't give Meng Xianchen the love he wanted, and she could do nothing but let him down.

"Can you hug me again like you did just now?" Meng Xianchen opened his long arms and looked at Jiang Ranran with expectant eyes, in which there were glimmers of crystal tears.

Jiang Ranran looked up, her clear eyes full of rejection, "No, you are not Gu Tingchen."

As if he had already expected Jiang Ranran to refuse, Meng Xianchen smiled bitterly and let his arms hang down weakly.

"I love you because you are so determined, but it is also your determination that hurts me." Meng Xianchen said with tears in his eyes, looking at Jiang Ranran with a very complicated look, which contained pity, regret, and even a hint of hatred.

He hated it. Why was Jiang Ranran so blind that she had to follow Gu Tingchen?

Why on earth was Meng Xianchen inferior to Gu Tingchen?!

"Meng Xianchen, you shouldn't have hurt Gu Tingchen like that. He gave you the chance before and wanted to give you the Gu Group, but you didn't want it. He said, we don't owe you anything anymore." Jiang Ranran knew it was cruel to say this, but she had to say it.

If she didn't tell it, it would be an endless struggle.

She really didn't want to see Gu Tingchen get hurt.

"What I want is never the Gu Group! I don't want it!" Meng Xianchen was successfully angered by Jiang Ranran's cruel words.

Jiang Ranran was frightened by his growl and looked at him in horror.

"Don't you know? I've told you many times that what I've wanted from the beginning to the end is you! But Gu Tingchen won't let you go!" Meng Xianchen was emotionally excited and even seemed a little crazy. His eyes were bloodshot, like a man-eating beast.

Jiang Ranran subconsciously stepped back and kept a distance from Meng Xianchen.

"I will only belong to Gu Tingchen in this life, not you." Jiang Ranran's eyes were determined. Since she was going to be cruel, she would be cruel to the end and completely break Meng Xianchen's fantasy.

When Meng Xianchen heard Jiang Ranran's words, he suddenly burst into laughter with tears in his eyes: "Haha, Jiang Ranran, you are crushing my last ray of hope to the ground! Is my life or death not important to you at all?!"

"Of course it's important! You saved my life! But, Gu Tingchen, you will never be able to compare to me in your entire life!" Jiang Ranran raised her voice, trying to drown out Meng Xianchen's voice.

She successfully attracted Meng Xianchen's attention. Looking at Jiang Ranran's sincere eyes, Meng Xianchen closed his eyes. Tears flowed from his eyes and soaked his entire face.
