Shen Yanhong hesitated, unsure whether to trust Ye Qingqing. She actually hoped Ye Lan would come, but her daughter was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Lan'er? Why didn't she come?"

"Ye Lan left the night you were beaten and hasn't come back since. She's probably seeing another man outside!"

Shen Yanhong didn't believe it. "You're talking nonsense. Lan'er isn't that kind of person. Something must have kept her waiting!"

Ye Qingqing was too lazy to argue with her. "Grandma will be back soon. You'd better make a decision quickly. It's okay if you don't agree. I'll find out slowly. Just wait for Ye Zhiguo to come knocking on your door!"

Shen Yanhong's expression shifted unpredictably, her mind in turmoil, and she said nothing.

Ye Qingqing sneered. Shen Yanhong's behavior was exactly what she expected. Shen Yanhong would definitely not say it easily, and it was very likely that Shen Yanhong was also involved, which was why she dared not speak.

"You're feeling guilty now, aren't you? Because you're one of the murderers who killed my mother. You and Ye Zhiguo killed my mother together!"

"No, I didn't!" Shen Yanhong weakly protested.

She genuinely didn't harm Xu Yali, but she knew Ye Zhiguo had, yet she pretended not to know anything. In the end, when Xu Yali died, she didn't dare to watch; she was terrified!

Ye Qingqing wanted to say a few more threatening words, but she heard the old lady's footsteps outside the door. She quickly shut her mouth, and the old lady pushed the door open and came in. "It's all changed. I'll send you to the shared room this afternoon."

The old lady looked displeased and complained to Ye Qingqing, "A single room costs twice as much as a shared room. Your old man is such a spendthrift!"

In the afternoon, Shen Yanhong was moved to a regular ward, which had four beds in total. All of them were occupied, and there were also family members. Shen Yanhong breathed a sigh of relief. With so many people, Ye Zhiguo probably wouldn't make a move!

The old lady stayed to take care of Shen Yanhong, even though she was extremely unwilling. However, if she didn't stay with her, she would have to spend money to hire a caregiver, which the old lady couldn't bear to do, so she had no choice but to stay.

"Grandma, I'm going to find Ye Lan, who's half-dead. Her biological mother is in the hospital, so of course she has to take care of her," Ye Qingqing said.

"Yes, they brought that half-dead life back, but who knows where he disappeared to? I've never seen anyone like that before! He didn't even come to visit his own mother when she was in the hospital!"

Although the old lady disliked Shen Yanhong, she still couldn't understand why Ye Lan hadn't shown up yet. Her own mother was dying, yet she remained indifferent.

"Your heart has turned black!"

The old lady drew her conclusion, and Shen Yanhong, lying on the hospital bed, turned even paler, her heart filled with bitterness.

Does her daughter really not want to care about her anymore?

Hongda Hotel

Ye Lan went to work absentmindedly, filling in customer information incorrectly several times, and the manager rolled his eyes at her several times.

Ye Lan was truly in a state of utter confusion. That night, she went to confront Wei Yugang, but she couldn't resist his sweet words and ended up in bed with him. Wei Yugang's skills in bed were a hundred times better than Lu Qingquan's, leaving Ye Lan in ecstasy. After her orgasm, she naturally fainted again.

When Ye Lan woke up, Wei Yugang had already left the room, and she was completely naked. Since then, Wei Yugang has not appeared at the hotel again. It has been two days in a row, and the man has been nowhere to be found.

Her mind was in such a state of turmoil that she couldn't concentrate on her work at all.

She paged Wei Yugang several times, but didn't receive a call back. It was as if the man had vanished from the face of the earth. Ye Lan had a very ominous premonition!
