Jin Shu was nothing more than a 'white moonlight' whose spiritual power was destroyed in a cultivation novel. The men who once loved and protected her became infatuated with a junior sister...

The rickshaw driver was also frightened, but he quickly hardened his heart, bent down and snatched the bag from Zhang's mother's arms, then pulled the rickshaw and ran away without looking back.
Zhang Jiqing was so frightened that he shrank his neck and dared not move until the rickshaw driver had run far away. Only then did he dare to approach his mother and cry in fear.
"Mom, Mom, how are you?"
——
Zhang Jisheng received the news of his mother's hospitalization early in the morning.
At that time, he was with Zhao Hanying looking at wedding dresses.
The only Western-style wedding dress shop in BH City displays many high-end wedding dresses imported from abroad. Each dress is displayed high on the exhibition stand, with huge white wedding dresses and dazzling diamonds, making countless passers-by stop and look.
"I had a hard time getting an appointment with this restaurant. The owner is British, and I only managed to contact him through a friend. He'll be here soon, and we'll pay the deposit today."
Then, right after he finished speaking, Zhang Jisheng hurriedly added something.
"My mom is injured, I have to go see her."
Zhao Hanying frowned and pulled him back in displeasure.
"I have an appointment with the boss, so you can't leave now."
"Didn't you hear my mom is injured? When can't I look at a wedding dress?"
Zhang Jisheng isn't so despicable as to be able to prepare for his wedding while his own mother's life hangs in the balance.
"The fact that your mother is injured is already a done deal. What good will it do if you go? Can you change that fact?"
But ordering our wedding dress is urgent; can't you prioritize?
Zhang Jisheng stared at her incredulously, as if he were looking at a complete stranger.
"Do you want to hear what you're saying?! That's my mom!"
"I'm still your fiancée!"
Zhang Jisheng remained calm, his chest heaving violently, and finally shook off the hand.
"Then you can see for yourself, I'm leaving now!"
After saying that, the man turned around and strode away without looking back, leaving Zhao Hanying standing there alone, her face full of grievance and anger.
Zhang's mother was seriously injured. Not only was she slapped, but her head also hit a rock, causing a concussion. She was unable to lie down or sit up, and could only cry out "ouch" and "ouch". The slightest movement caused her to vomit uncontrollably.
Zhang Jiqing was covered in vomit. When Zhang Jisheng arrived, he saw Zhang Jiqing standing next to him, covering his nose.
Including the cost of his mother's usual medication, Zhang Jisheng paid a total of 500 yuan at the hospital in one go.
This is just the last time that the medical bills Zhang's mother owed have been settled.
The cost of hospitalization will have to be paid separately.
Now Zhang Jisheng is in dire straits and completely broke.
Zhang Jiqing kept shouting that he wanted to arrest people, but BH City was so big, and Zhang Jiqing was the only witness that day. The rickshaw driver even deliberately hid. How could they find him in the vast sea of people?
Zhang's mother cried from beginning to end. Besides feeling wronged and angry, she was mainly crying about the little money she had left.
That was money she had saved up by scrimping and saving, and now it's all been stolen just because she couldn't bear to part with a single yuan.
"I'm broke! I need to get married! Where am I supposed to get all that money for you?"
Zhang's mother was at a loss and could only keep asking, "What should we do?"
Zhang Jiqing chimed in from the side.
"What else can we do? When Jin Shu was around, we were doing just fine. There weren't many people in the entire BH City who were doing better than us!"
Let's find her again! Let my brother apologize and coax her back.
Upon hearing this, Zhang's mother burst into tears and curses.
"You brat, are you trying to ruin your brother's future?!"
"No matter how rich Jin Shu is, she's just a useless orphan! You actually made your brother fawn over that kind of person? You're really brainless!"
Zhang Jiqing retorted defiantly.
"I think it's Mom who got brain damage from the accident. So many things need money! How can you get medicine and hospital stays without money? How can I go to school without money? What about my tuition next semester? Who can I rely on? Can I rely on Zhao Hanying?"
"Rely on me? Ha... What makes you think you can rely on me?"
A cold laugh suddenly rang out in front of the ward, startling Zhang Jiqing, who had just been full of arrogance, so much so that he trembled all over.
Looking back, Zhao Hanying was standing at the door, holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms, looking at her with a cold face.
No one expected Zhao Hanying to appear here at this time, which startled Zhang Jiqing so much that he couldn't speak.
Zhang Jiqing both admired and feared such cultured and influential people.
Zhao Hanying walked in step by step, casually placed the flowers on the table, then glanced at the bandage on Zhang's mother's forehead, and then looked at Zhang Jisheng.
"I heard from Jisheng that you were injured, so I came to see you."
Because of your injury, Jisheng even had to postpone such a big event as his wedding. So how are you feeling now?
When Zhang's mother saw her arrive, her old face was filled with smiles.
"I'm much better, so much better. My daughter-in-law came to see me, and I was so happy that all my illnesses disappeared."
Zhao Hanying nodded, then looked at Zhang Jisheng.
"Did you hear that? Auntie said she's feeling much better. Now, can you come back with me to try on your wedding dress?"
Before Zhang Jisheng could speak, Zhao Hanying added another comment.
"If you don't go, there will be plenty of other people who will. You'll regret it later."
"Han Ying, how can you say such things? Stop fooling around."
Zhao Hanying, however, remained stubborn.
"I'm not making a scene. If you don't come with me today, I'll go try on wedding dresses with other people tomorrow. You can try it if you don't believe me."
Zhang Jisheng's heart sank, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
Zhang's mother, who was standing nearby, noticed that the atmosphere between the two was not right and quickly urged them to hurry up.
"Mom is fine now. You can go ahead if you need to. Jiqing can stay and take care of her!"
"Hurry up and go! There are so many things to do in the barracks, don't let anything get delayed!"
Zhang Jisheng kept a straight face, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally followed Zhao Hanying out.
In the car, the two faced each other without speaking. In the end, Zhao Hanying spoke in an arrogant and condescending tone.
"In terms of family background, you can't compare to my other suitors, and in terms of looks, you're not much better."
But in the end, I still chose you.
Don't you want to cherish it?
The implication is that you are not good enough for me, but I still chose you, so why don't you hurry up and continue to coax me?
Zhang Jisheng showed no outward reaction, but at this moment, the infatuation and love he once had for Zhao Hanying had completely vanished from his heart.
He actually abandoned Jin Shu for this kind of woman.
A wave of regret washed over him, making him want to slap himself twice.
In the end, he did slap himself twice.
But in Zhao Hanying's view, this was Zhang Jisheng showing weakness and apologizing.
"Okay, okay, I forgive you, but don't let it happen again, understand?"
