First, her mother was diagnosed with a heart problem and needed to be hospitalized for surgery, specifically coronary artery bypass grafting. She had to travel to and from the hospital to accompany her.

After that, her handmade doll clothing studio, which she had finally managed to open, inexplicably received a lot of negative reviews and complaints. Some said she used inferior materials to make the doll clothes.

However, the doll clothes that received negative reviews and were supposed to be avoided were not made by her at all. Some merchants stole her display pictures, and those customers bought the wrong ones. In turn, they posted her shop online, causing her shop rating to drop significantly.

No matter how she tries to clarify, she still receives a large number of abusive private messages every day, and her shop is reported more than ten times a day.

Left with no other choice, Yao Xianglu had to temporarily close her online shop, leaving the doll clothes she had made, the materials she had negotiated with the manufacturers, and the jewelry she had purchased stuck in her hands.

As a result, she incurred debts of several hundred thousand yuan.

Not to mention, her mother also needs to be hospitalized for surgery, which is a bottomless pit of money. Her savings are simply not enough to cover the surgery and care expenses.

She could only take care of her mother while finding time each day to do odd jobs to supplement the family income and pay off debts.

My mother's surgery was finally successful, and it seemed that the difficult days were about to end and life would get better.

At this critical juncture, some rumors started circulating at my father's workplace, and these rumors reached my mother's ears.

Her health, which had been improving, suddenly deteriorated, and in addition... her father did drive a female colleague home from work and did indeed stay downstairs at her building for nearly an hour.

During that hour, he also turned off the in-car surveillance camera.

The father couldn't provide evidence to prove that he had no affair with that female colleague, and the mother was convinced that her father was cheating. She got emotional during an argument with him and ended up in the hospital again.

The days that had been getting better turned bad again.

Her parents argued all day long, her mother was frequently in and out of the emergency room, her phone was ringing off the hook with debt collectors, and the store's backend was flooded with abusive private messages...

One thing after another, like straws breaking the camel's back, slowly weighed on her, making it hard for her to breathe.

So when she passed by a stall selling rat poison and cockroach bait, she inexplicably bought a bag of rat poison...

As Yao Xianglu spoke, she reached out and touched the rat poison in her pocket. She pursed her lips and looked at Nan Yuanman, asking, "Little Master, can you come back with me and see which grave is causing the problem?"

The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, agreeing, "Yes, yes, we really should go back and take a look."

"But... young master can't go out freely, right? His parents won't agree. Or... should I ask the village shaman for advice?"

The middle-aged man looked at the chubby, round face in front of him and hesitated before asking.

Yao Xianglu shook her head: "I don't believe them."

The only person she trusts now is Nanmanyuan.

After all, she had witnessed firsthand how she pulled her mother back from the clutches of death.

Nan Yuanman was about to agree when she suddenly remembered that she hadn't told the Jiang family when she ran away the previous times, which led to them making a big fuss about finding her.

She hesitated for a moment, then dialed Jiang Lixuan's number with her smartwatch: "I'll call and ask him."

The watch beeped, and Yao Xianglu held her breath, waiting anxiously.

After three rings, a hoarse young male voice came from the watch: "Hello? Yuanman, what's wrong?"

"Jiang Lixuan, I have to go to the countryside for something. I'll take good care of myself, so don't look for me!" Nan Yuanman finished speaking quickly and then hung up the phone with a snap.

Jiang Lixuan, who was suddenly notified, was like: "???"

Yao Xianglu, who witnessed Nanmanyuan's outrageous actions: "???"

Nan Yuanman felt very good about how she handled things. She even called the adults to let them know she was going out this time. She's great!

She looked at Yao Xianglu happily: "Sister, let's go."

Yao Xianglu's eyes widened slightly, looking completely bewildered: "That's...that's all?"

"That's good. Your family's affairs are the most important. It's better to deal with them sooner rather than later. If it drags on, your whole family will be in danger." Nan Yuanman nodded and urged.

Urged on repeatedly by her, Yao Xianglu, in a daze, took Nan Yuanman to her hometown.

The middle-aged man stayed at the hospital to take care of his wife, who was still unconscious and had not yet woken up.

-

At the same time.

After Meng Qinian's repeated urging, Meng Lei finally completed the paternity test he requested after a whole night.

When Meng Lei handed him the documents, he was relieved that the child was finally willing to break the ice with him. He teased him, saying, "You're in such a hurry to have one, did you secretly have a grandson or granddaughter for me?"

Meng Qinian rolled his eyes at him, not forgetting to pull out the documents in his hand: "I'm only eighteen years old. Do you think I'm you, not a human being, but an animal?"

Meng Lei raised his hand and smacked him on the head: "Hey! You brat! What nonsense are you spouting!"

When Meng Qinian saw the data showing a 99.9999% parent-child relationship, his eyes widened instantly, and he didn't even dodge Meng Lei's hand.

"My God!" He was shocked and excited, with only a few words in his mind—his cousin was awesome!

He was absolutely right!

Yuanman really is the biological daughter of his uncle, who has been bedridden for three years!

Seeing Meng Qinian's shocked expression, Meng Lei asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the report? Or did he hurt your head?"

Holding the documents, Meng Qinian suddenly turned around and ran out, as excited as a golden retriever.

He needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible to tell his older cousin the good news!

Meng Lei: ? ?

Has he really gone mad?

Meng Qinian had no intention of explaining things to Meng Lei. He hurriedly left the testing center and drove straight to Wanhe Hospital.

Wanhe Hospital was very lively at that time.

After finishing his work, Feng Langqing flew to S City overnight and went straight to Feng Congqian's ward. Before he even arrived, his loud voice came from the doorway: "Feng Yuli! Where are you? Get out here!"

Inside the ward, Feng Yuli was browsing children's toys and clothes on his phone. Kuku placed an order, but upon hearing this, he paused and looked up at the door that had been forcefully pushed open.

Then look at the young man wearing a black shirt and black trousers, with a wolf tail, an earring, and his entire face covered by a mask and sunglasses: "Feng Langqing, this is a hospital, can't you keep your voice down?"

"I won't! If you're so capable, get your dad out of bed and beat me!" Feng Langqing snorted, swaggered in, and casually tossed the sun hat he was holding onto the table.

She straddled the sofa with her long legs, stared at him, and asked, "Tell me, what did you mean by the message you sent last night?"

"Why are you suddenly asking us to investigate that woman? Wasn't she already locked up in a sanatorium by Dad?"

“I suspect that Dad’s sudden coma is related to her,” Feng Yuli said, placing his phone on the table and smiling. “I have two pieces of good news for you in S City. Which one would you like to hear first?”

Feng Langqing: "?"

"Is there a difference?"

Feng Yuli: "Of course there are. One is about Dad, and the other... is about you and me."

"Then let's hear about me first. I've been having bad luck for almost three years, so I don't believe I'll hear any good news." Feng Langqing crossed his arms and sneered.

Feng Yuli said casually, "We're going to have a little sister."

He pointed to Feng Congqian on the hospital bed: "My father's biological daughter, my sister."

Feng Langqing: "..."

Feng Langqing: "???"

Feng Langqing exploded: "You unfilial son, you actually used your father's sperm to create a child?"
