"Mom, what exactly do you want?"

Do you want me dead?

In the hospital ward, Yan Wan looked at Yan Jian and Wang Juan in despair.

This is her second time visiting the hospital.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this will be the last time.

"What do you mean by dying?" Wang Juan said innocently. "Don't curse yourself. May you live to be a hundred."

Yan Wan chuckled to herself, "Am I cursing myself?"

May you live to be a hundred!

Why live so long only to let those two suck my blood?

She held back for a long time before she managed to keep those words from being spoken.

"I promised I would take care of you in your old age, and you promised me you would never see Gu Chen's mother again, but what have you done?"

Yan Wan looked at Wang Juan, her teeth chattering with anger.

"You told his mother about Gu Chen and me, hoping to prove Gu Chen's love for me and force his mother to acknowledge you as her in-law so you could take the opportunity to ask for more money..."

"But all you got in return for doing this was Gu Chen's mother's contempt and humiliation!"

God knows what it was like for her to get out of bed naked and see Madam Gu sitting opposite her.

She was terrified.

What followed was unspeakable shame and embarrassment.

Madam Gu said nothing, but gave her a cold, indifferent look that nearly killed her.

This happened the day before yesterday.

But thinking back, Yan Wan still felt as if she were in an ice cellar, the chill biting to the bone.

Wang Juan disagreed with this.

She said, "Everything I said is true. I didn't lie or mean any harm. I just wanted her to know how deep Gu Chen's feelings for you are, so that she wouldn't look for other women for Gu Chen."

After Yan Can left that day, she strictly followed Yan Can's method.

In just over a month, after deducting the 200,000 yuan used to pay off debts, they had already saved more than 500,000 yuan.

Unexpectedly, while Madam Gu was trying to win her over with money and tell her not to talk nonsense outside, she was also constantly looking for suitable marriage partners for Gu Chen and forcing him to go on blind dates.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

Unable to stop Madam Gu, she could only try to make Madam Gu give up in this way.

Yan Wan was so angry she wanted to kill someone.

"Your approach won't stop anything; it will only make things more awkward for me and make my situation even more difficult!"

Madam Gu didn't understand, "What's so difficult about it?"

She stared at the diamond watch on Yan Wan's wrist. "This watch alone must be worth over a million, right?"

Yan Wan trembled with anger, "Money, money, money! All you care about is money! You have no idea how much effort I put in and how much pressure I endured to wear this watch!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the hospital bed.

"If you find it unbearable, you don't have to wear it."

Yan Jian hadn't spoken since the beginning, but when he did, he hit the nail on the head, leaving Yan Wan nowhere to hide.

Yan Jian twitched his lips, revealing a roguish and shameless smile.

His eyes were mocking, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Even during the hardest times for your mother and me, we never thought of forcing you to marry a rich man or selling you to pay off our debts."

Everything you are going through now is the result of your own choices.

"You can choose not to wear it."

Yan Wan fell silent instantly.

Wang Juan was immediately delighted. She seized on Yan Jian's words and launched into a tirade against Yan Wan.

Finally, she said sarcastically, "You said you couldn't bear it and wanted to blame me and your dad, but when I caught you and Gu Chen doing 'that' in the living room at the villa, you were like that... you were clearly enjoying it..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yan Wan shouted.

"ah!"

I don't know if it was from anger or embarrassment.

Yan Wan blushed.

She completely broke down.

After screaming and venting her anger several times, she finally regained some of her senses.

"It's been two months since the surgery."

"I asked the doctor, and my dad is fine. He will be discharged this afternoon."

"no!"

Yan Jian and Wang Juan said in unison.

They haven't had enough of staying here yet!

Yan Wan ignored this and continued, "The old house has been bought, and you probably don't want to go back, so I've rented a place for you..."

"I won't leave the hospital!"

Yan Jian's attitude was firm.

Even though he missed the gambling table so much it hurt.

Wang Juan also said, "Your father and I are both injured. How are we supposed to take care of ourselves after we're discharged from the hospital?"

Yan Wan said, "I will find a nanny to take care of you."

The couple still disagreed.

But Yan Wan refused to compromise any longer.

"Go out and ask around, who else is hospitalized for years on end?"

"The neighborhood where you rented the apartment has a very nice environment and is very quiet, which is perfect for you to recuperate."

She told them not to worry about anything, just pack their clothes and such, and that the housekeeper would handle the discharge procedures and take care of settling them in.

"It's settled then."

"I'm leaving."

Just as Yan Wan lifted her leg, Wang Juan ran over and blocked the doorway.

"mom……"

"You can leave, but leave your money behind!"

Wang Juan said.

Yan Wan stood there stunned for a few seconds, her expression numb. Urged by Wang Juan, she took out a card from her bag.

Upon seeing the card, Wang Juan immediately made way.

Before she could reach out to grab it, Yan Wan threw the card hard to the ground.

"There is 100,000 yuan in the card."

"Don't come looking for me again. I won't give you a single penny!"

"I feel disgusted!"

Yan Wan left without looking back.

Wang Juan picked up the card from the ground and kissed it several times.

She was as excited as a child, smiling as she said to Yan Jian, "Brother Jian, we've got another 100,000 yuan!"

Yan Jian smiled too.

A smile can conceal a dagger, each strike potentially fatal.

"Whether I give it to you or not is up to me!"

...

In the afternoon, while the housekeeper was handling the discharge procedures, Yan Can arrived in the ward as Wang Juan and Yan Jian were waiting for him.

"Oh, you've finally decided to leave the hospital?"

Yan Can's gaze immediately fell on the bag in Wang Juan's arms.

Wang Juan instinctively hugged the bag in her arms tighter.

She took this from Yan Wan's dressing room. Yan Wan was very angry when she found out, but she didn't ask for it back.

"What treasure are you holding so tightly? Let me see."

As soon as Yan Can spoke, Wang Juan was so frightened that she immediately hid behind him.

Fear was etched into his very bones.

Avoidance is also a subconscious action.

But they were so comfortable with the fruits of others' labor that they actually looked forward to Yan Can's arrival, hoping he would show them another way to make money.

Yan Jian said, "Give it to her."

Anyway, all the cards were on him, and there weren't even tens of thousands of yuan in his bag.

He can win that money back in no time once he goes out.

Wang Juan then opened the bag.

Seeing the neatly stacked banknotes inside, Yan Can smiled. "I recently went for a medical checkup, and the doctor saw that I was covered in injuries and asked if I wanted to call the police. I... refused..."

Wang Juan tightened her grip and looked at Yan Jian again.

Is this a threat to them?

Yan Jian said, "Give it to her."

Wang Juan was very reluctant, but she had no choice but to let go.

"Give me the money, but I don't want the bag; it's too ugly."

"In return for good news, Gu Chen and Yan Wan have just signed an equity transfer agreement."
