As soon as Jiang Hai's wife, Li Xiu, entered the ward, she knelt down before Jiang Qiao and begged her to let her husband go.

Niu Guihua was not good to her daughter-in-law. In the Jiang family, the only person she could rely on was Jiang Hai. If anything happened to Jiang Hai, her future would be even more difficult.

The Jiang sisters, Jiang Mantun and Jiang Mancang, were also apologizing beside them, all with their heads bowed and eyes lowered, a far cry from their arrogant demeanor yesterday.

Jiang Qiao snorted coldly, "You weren't like this when you were watching the show yesterday. It was as if you were afraid Jiang Hai wouldn't be able to kill me. What, you're disappointed that I didn't die?"

Niu Guihua glanced at Jiang Qiao sideways and said, "What are you saying, child? Who wanted to kill you? Your older brother was just angry. You're really something, disrespecting your elder brother is one thing, but hitting him is another. If something happens, will you look good?"

Wang Dahua also defended her grandsons, saying, "Qiao'er, no matter what, you are all my grandsons. They are all my flesh and blood. If anything happens to any of you, my heart will ache."

Jiang Qiao glared angrily at Niu Guihua and the others, "Get out of here! You have no place to speak here. If you want to plead for your son, don't let me see you again."

Seeing her granddaughter's attitude, the old lady Wang Dahua was somewhat dissatisfied. "Qiao'er, what are you saying? That's your aunt. No matter what, we are all your family."

Jiang Qiao sneered, "Grandma, ask them if they treat me like family."

If they don't treat me like family, how can I treat them like family?

"Grandma, if you want to talk to me about Jiang Hai and the others, tell them to get out of here. I don't want to see them."

Jiang Qiao has really become famous. These people, don't be fooled by their meek and obedient demeanor. They are only behaving this way because Jiang He and the other person have been taken away. If those two are released, they will immediately revert to their true nature.

Niu Guihua looked at the old lady, "Mother—"

Wang Dahua waved her hand weakly, "Get out—"

When only the two of them were left in the room, Jiang Qiao looked at the old lady, and the look in her eyes made Wang Dahua suddenly feel a chill.

For some reason, this little person exuded a cold aura, giving off an imposing presence.

This was the first time Wang Dahua had ever seen her granddaughter with such an expression. "Girl, are you alright?"

Jiang Qiao looked coldly at Wang Dahua. "Grandma, everyone has selfish motives. I can understand some of them, but I absolutely cannot tolerate others, especially when they scheme against me."

You probably know my personality. Before they came, my grandson and I lived a simple but peaceful life, even though it was hard.

But ever since they arrived, look at the state I've become! I was in the hospital on my very first day back. What hope do I have left?

Wang Dahua disagreed with Jiang Qiao's statement: "Girl, regardless of whether your eldest brother and second brother are right or wrong, we are all family—"

Before the old lady could finish speaking, Jiang Qiao interrupted her, "Hmph, family, Grandma, are you joking?"

Since we're all family, which family's sister would marry their own brother?

I'm not a three-year-old, Grandma. Don't try to fool me with that. I'm young now, and I can't help suffering losses, but have you ever thought about how I'll grow up someday? And when that happens, I can't guarantee what I might do.

Rather than that, it's better to separate now. We can both be fine. You will still be my grandmother, and I will still take care of you as I should.

To be honest, the money I earned was enough to marry Jianghe off. Alas, what a pity. Greed knows no bounds. Grandma, don't force me to do anything else.

So, I want to move out. You all can live your lives happily.

Wang Dahua immediately became agitated, her tone turning harsh: "How can that be? How will you, a young girl, survive? What if you get bullied?"

Then her tone softened, "Girl, I know you're angry. Wait until Grandma teaches them a lesson, okay?"

Jiang Qiao smiled and shook her head. "Grandma, with them here, I definitely won't go back. If you want your grandson to be safe, you might as well consider my opinion."

Even if outsiders bully me, they wouldn't send me to the hospital, would they?

After being rebuked by Jiang Qiao, Wang Dahua was at a loss for words. However, she couldn't let Jiang Qiao leave like that, otherwise all these years of raising this child would have been for nothing.

He wanted to continue trying to persuade her, but Jiang Qiao waved her hand coldly, "There's no need to say anything more. My mind is made up. Don't force me to fight you with knives and guns. That's an ending neither of us wants to see."

If you want me to plead for Jiang He and the others, that's easy. Just go to the street office, explain the situation, and we'll process the separate household registration.

As for the rest, we'll talk about it when I'm better, Grandma. You spared my life back then, so why not be a good person again and let me live!

Jiang Qiao clearly didn't want to continue talking to the old lady; there was no point in saying more.

The people outside are getting impatient, wondering how the two people inside are doing with their conversation.

Chunxia and Chunming stood guard at the door, ready to rush in and help if they noticed anything amiss inside.

Watching the old lady walk out with unsteady steps, it was as if her whole body had been drained of its strength.

Niu Guihua rushed over anxiously, "Mom, what's wrong? Did Jiang Qiao agree?"

Niu Guihua sighed deeply, "That girl has become estranged from us—"

"So what if they're divorced? Dog meat can't be stuck to a sheep in the end."

The old lady angrily rebuked her daughter-in-law, "What do you know? Jiang Qiao is breaking ties with our family. She's moving out and will separate her household registration from mine."

Niu Guihua finally understood what this "dissociation" meant. "What the hell? She wants to leave this home?"

So, you've been supporting her all these years, Lao Bai? There's no such thing as a free lunch. Leaving isn't impossible, but with her around, this family will only be in chaos. It's better to let her go.

But we can't let her off so easily. All these years she's taken advantage of us, she has to give us back all of that, or else... don't even think about it.

"No way, I'm going to talk to her. There's no such thing as a free lunch. She's an ingrate; even raising a pig would be better than her."

"Who are you calling a pig? Is that how you describe someone?"

Two people walked towards them, one was Ning Hao and the other was an old man with a white beard. Upon seeing the old man, Wang Dahua forced a smile and said, "Dr. Qiao, what brings you here?"

Qiao Jie snorted, "Comrade Wang Dahua, if I hadn't come, I wouldn't have heard you talking about Jiang Qiao like that. Don't you know how that child treats you?"

I really don't understand how, once the biological son is found, the granddaughter becomes superfluous?

"Oh right, what did you just say? You wanted to settle accounts with Jiang Qiao? Fine, how much money do you want?"

Qiao Jie stopped wasting time with Niu Guihua and went straight to the point, asking about the conditions under which they agreed to Jiang Qiao's separation.

Niu Guihua puffed out her chest and said, "Over the years, it must have cost at least two hundred yuan."
