When Gu Tao barged into Liu Tingting's room, she was lying on the bed with her back to the door, her shoulders twitching slightly as she pretended to be feeling unwell.

"Honey, what did Ye Nian'an say to you just now?"

Gu Tao's voice was filled with barely concealed urgency, and his gaze swept over her back like a searchlight.

Liu Tingting slowly turned around: "She was asking about my health... She said she was a doctor and noticed that I was weak. Considering my privacy, she asked me a few more questions privately."

"Is that really it?"

Gu Tao frowned, clearly disbelieving.

Seeing her husband like this, Liu Tingting's last hope was finally dashed.

Even Ye Nian'an, a complete stranger, could see his physical condition and asked him about it.

But the man who had shared a bed with her for ten years and watched her give birth to three daughters only had suspicion in his eyes.

For his own life, and also for revenge.

She gripped the corner of the blanket tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, using the pain to suppress the surging hatred.

Recalling the plan Ye Nian'an had explained, a sharp glint flashed across his eyes.

"What else could it be?"

Liu Tingting gave a cold laugh: "If we were really exposed, would Ye Nian'an still be so kind as to come to our door? He would have taken the police and wiped us all out long ago."

"Didn't you say that? Ye Nian'an led the police to raid the place in the middle of the night and arrest that Taoist priest's lover."

Gu Tao was rendered speechless.

Hearing Liu Tingting say this, most of my doubts dissipated.

No matter what, he was Liu Tingting's man and the father of her child.

No matter how much his wife makes a fuss, she would never betray him, right?

Thinking of this, Gu Tao said in a gentle voice, "Okay, Tingting, you rest at home first. I'll go to the hospital to see Dad and discuss how to resolve this matter."

"Song Yan and Ye Nian'an suddenly showed up today. I have a feeling that this matter is not so simple."

Although Gu Tao was very reluctant to think about it.

But the longer this matter is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be for me.

We need to ask my father for a solution to see if we can shut Old Li up forever.

At all costs!

Liu Tingting didn't respond, she just closed her eyes.

As long as he has a breath left, Gu Tao will probably ignore him.

His heart had long since turned cold; he only ever cared about himself and never cared whether she lived or died.

In short...

After today, everything will be over.

Seeing that Liu Tingting didn't speak, Gu Tao assumed she was still throwing a tantrum and turned to leave.

I don't have time to coax people right now!

The moment the door creaked shut, Liu Tingting abruptly opened her eyes, her gaze icy cold, and despite the excruciating pain all over her body, she climbed out of bed.

"Mother……"

A timid call came from the doorway.

The eldest daughter held the hands of her two younger sisters, her little face full of worry, and three pairs of bright black eyes looked at her expectantly.

"Are you... alright? Did Dad hit you?"

Looking at her daughters' noses, red from the cold, Liu Tingting could no longer hold back her tears.

This is her only weakness in this world, and also her only armor.

At the same time, an unprecedented power surged through his body.

For the sake of these three children whom she has raised with such hardship, she must believe in hope, believe in Ye Nian'an, and live on!

"Mom is fine."

Liu Tingting wiped away her tears and forced a smile: "The food's getting cold, Mom will go to the kitchen to heat it up. Eat quickly, don't go hungry..."

That side.

Song Yan has already sent Ye Nian'an back to the courtyard house.

As soon as the jeep came to a stop, Ye Nian'an laid out his cooperation plan with Liu Tingting.

After hearing this, Song Yan frowned deeply and clicked his tongue, "I really didn't expect it to be like this..."

He knew that Liu Tingting's health had been poor for the past few years.

But I never expected that we would be on the verge of life and death.

If word got out that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family had taken too many fertility drugs in order to have a son, resulting in her body being depleted and dying, it would truly shock people.

"But sister-in-law, are you sure Liu Tingting is really determined to betray Gu Tao? Although her life is in danger, the Gu family and the Liu family have many intertwined interests..."

Although Song Yan hadn't met Liu Tingting many times, he knew that she had married Gu Tao back then because she wanted the power of the Gu family.

If something really happens to Gu Tao, and it's Liu Tingting who testifies, how could the Gu family possibly let her off the hook?

Ye Nian'an leaned back in her chair, her fingertips lightly tapping her knees. Moonlight fell on her eyes, reflecting a resolute light: "If she married Gu Tao for money before, things are different now..."

"She is a mother with three daughters."

“There are some things you can only feel when you become a mother. If she is not a good mother, there is no point in saying more, but she is, so she will definitely do it.”

"Besides, I've already planned out an escape route for her. Whether she can fully grasp it is up to her."

Ye Nian'an leaned forward and lowered her voice: "Song Yan, just do as I say in a moment..."

She whispered a few words in Song Yan's ear, each word clear and distinct.

Song Yan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he nodded emphatically: "Okay, sister-in-law, we'll do it your way!"

Haicheng First People's Hospital.

Gu Tianyou had already woken up and was leaning against the bed, resting with his eyes closed.

Gu Wanwan sat on the wooden stool by the bed, peeling an apple, the peel hanging down in a long line.

She picked up a piece of apple with a toothpick and held it to Gu Tianyou's lips, her voice sickeningly sweet: "Dad, eat some fruit, it'll help you recover."

She was already a master of these flattering tactics.

The days Gu Tianyou spent in the hospital were the perfect opportunity for her to win his favor.

Gu Tianyou opened his mouth and ate the apple. Looking at his youngest daughter's charming appearance, the wrinkles on his face smoothed out: "Wanwan is still the most filial."

"Dad, what are you saying? It's not just me, but also my eldest brother, second brother, and third brother. They are all very concerned about your health."

The first rule of the "white lotus" (a term referring to a person who is innocent and virtuous): In front of others, don't just think about taking credit.

Distributing credit appropriately will actually make people remember your goodness and virtue more, and by not taking credit for yourself, you will leave a deeper and better impression.

"Don't even mention your older brother, he's no match for you!"

It's fine if Gu Tao isn't mentioned, but mentioning Gu Tianyou makes me angry.

That brat is incompetent and hopeless, and he keeps causing trouble for himself!

"Dad, what happened to my brother? Is your fainting related to him?"

Gu Wanwan asked with great concern.

It seems my second brother's guess was right...

The eldest brother must have done something to anger Gu Tianyou, which caused him to faint from anger.

"It's nothing, Wanwan. I just feel that your older brother is not as good as you. In Dad's heart, Wanwan is the smartest little princess..."

Gu Tianyou was trying to change the subject, and Gu Wanwan knew it perfectly well. Continuing to press him would only provoke him, so she immediately went along with it, saying, "Dad, when did you become so sweet-talking? Hehe~"
