"What...what do you mean by that? I'm still your stepmother, after all." Dong Qingrun's tone softened unconsciously under her gaze. "How can you talk to your mother like that!"

"Ha, Mom?" Gu Momo scoffed. "You think you're worthy?"

Dong Qingrun looked embarrassed by her mockery, worried that if Uncle Fu woke up and saw Gu Momo, his plan would fall through.

So he quickly said to shoo them away, "What are you doing here? Get out of here!"

"Uncle Fu is my family's housekeeper. I'm visiting him when he's sick. When did I start needing your permission?"

Hearing Gu Momo treat Uncle Fu as one of her own, as if she were rushing to visit a relative, Dong Qingrun immediately smiled.

She knew that Gu Momo was definitely after the money her mother had left for Uncle Fu.

"Gu Momo, I knew it! Why would you be so kind as to come see Uncle Fu? I bet you're just after the money your mother left for Uncle Fu! Are you even human? That was your mother's retirement money for Uncle Fu before she died!"

"Uncle Renfu dedicated his entire youth to the Xu family, to you and your mother, and never married. Now he's sick and lying in bed with no one to take care of him. And you, you're here just for the money? You're disgusting!" Dong Qingrun cursed without holding back, his voice loud and full of energy, attracting several other patients' family members who were passing by to stop and watch.

Among them was Li Zhanting, who had just arrived based on the information sent by Xiao Yifeng.

Among the group of curious middle-aged women, his tall figure, sharp suit, and exquisitely beautiful face seemed somewhat out of place.

Inside the ward, Dong Qingrun's cursing and swearing continued to echo—

"Gu Momo, don't you have a heart? The person is already in this state, and all you're thinking about is money!"

"I'm ashamed for your father!"

"Are you out of your mind because you're so poor?"

She kept cursing, but Gu Momo didn't respond, sitting expressionlessly by the hospital bed.

Gu Zhenting's family is shameless, each one more shameless than the last.

They kept saying she wasn't human and that she was after Uncle Fu's money.

But behind the scenes, they had already begun plotting how to take the money from Uncle Fu for themselves.

This family of greedy wolves and tigers not only devoured all of the Xu family's property, but now they're even after the money that the mother left for Uncle Fu.

They are the ones who are truly disgusting!

She wasn't short of money and had never cared about it, but she absolutely wouldn't allow it to fall into the hands of any member of the Gu family!

“Yes, Uncle Fu’s money was originally left by my mother. Now I want to take it back, and there’s no problem with that. Do you think you can embezzle it just because I’m not here?” Gu Momo curled the corners of her lips. “Dong Qingrun, who do you think you are!”

The onlookers outside the door shook their heads upon hearing this, accusing Gu Momo of being heartless and ruthless.

Li Zhanting was not one to listen to gossip, but when he caught a glimpse of Gu Momo's indifferent expression, he couldn't help but frown.

Her indifferent expression—did she not take the Gu family seriously, or was it genuine...?

Was it for that money?

The thought that Gu Momo might also be after his money suddenly made Li Zhanting feel a surge of irritation.

He tugged at his tie in frustration and decided to leave to find the Ghost Hand Healer.

However, the farce in the ward was far from over.

"Get out of the way, I need to take Uncle Fu into the operating room." Gu Momo got up, pressed the call button on the bedside table, and looked coldly at Dong Wenrun, who was blocking the way.

Dong Wenrun persisted, and upon hearing that Gu Momo wanted to take Uncle Fu for surgery, he sneered, "Gu Momo, who do you think you are? Do you even know what illness Uncle Fu has? A brain tumor! And it's malignant. Do you think you can just save him like that? I told you long ago you're after his money. You haven't even studied medicine, yet you want to save someone? You're clearly trying to murder him!"

Gu Momo raised her hand, glanced at her watch, and realized it was almost time.

If Dong Wenrun still wants to stop her, then she doesn't mind letting her come in sideways and leave lying down, just like Gu Shanshan.

"I'll say it again, get out of the way!" This time, her tone was clearly colder than before.

Even the arrogant and domineering Dong Wenrun seemed a little guilty, and replied without much confidence, "Wh...what, if I don't let you, what...what do you want to do?"

Gu Momo had no time to waste with her. Just as she was about to grab Dong Wenrun's wrist and try to throw her aside, another person suddenly rushed in from outside the door.

Lin Wan'er walked in arrogantly, wearing 7-centimeter high heels.

After what happened last time, she hated Gu Momo to the core.

Upon seeing her, he started barking like a mad dog, "Gu Momo, are you trying to make us laugh? Someone like you wants to perform surgery on Uncle Fu? Don't embarrass yourself!"

"Wan'er, you're here? Perfect timing. You're the professional, so quickly tell this arrogant person what's going on with Uncle Fu's illness." Dong Wenrun became arrogant as soon as he saw his own people arrive. He casually pulled over a chair, plopped down, and completely blocked Gu Momo's way out of the ward.

Lin Wan'er is a senior at the Imperial Medical University, and coincidentally, she is studying neurosurgery.

When Dong Wenrun first found out about Uncle Fu, he showed his medical records to Lin Wan'er. Lin Wan'er shook her head and said that even a god couldn't save him from this illness.

Dong Wenrun immediately felt reassured, and that's when he started plotting to take over the 1 billion yuan in Uncle Fu's hands.

Speaking of her strengths, Lin Wan'er suddenly became much more confident. She raised her chin, cleared her throat, and said, "Let me tell you, Gu Momo, your Uncle Fu has a brain tumor, and this tumor is located between the cerebellum and the spine, medically known as the foramen magnum. Because of its extremely difficult location, if the surgeon makes a mistake, he will either be completely paralyzed or become a vegetable. You, who have never studied medicine, want to save people? That's laughable!"

Although Dong Qingrun didn't understand these technical terms, she felt extremely satisfied with Lin Wan'er's sharp retort. "By the way, Wan'er, I heard that you had excellent grades in college, and the hospital that the school recommended for your internship, is this the one?"

Lin Wan'er tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and said modestly, "It's nothing, Auntie. A while ago, our professor said he would introduce me to the Ghost Hand Saint Doctor and make me his first apprentice!"

"The Ghostly Healer? Is he the mysterious doctor that many people want to cure?"
