Wu's mother looked up with hope in her eyes.

Ruan Xianxian, standing close by, said sincerely, "All you need to do is divorce Uncle Wu and let him marry a widow from the Jing family, and the problem will be solved."

Seeing the beautiful woman's eyes widen in disbelief, she smiled and said, "No matter how children are involved, marriage between the parties involved is more reliable."

Judging from your words, you were not willing to marry Uncle Wu back then.

"Let's get a divorce. It would be so much better. It would be good for you, it would help your husband, and most importantly, it would be good for your son. It's a win-win-win situation. You wouldn't disagree, would you?"

Wu's mother stopped crying abruptly, and looked at Ruan Xianxian as if she were looking at some terrible monster.

The latter slowly straightened up, letting out a disdainful sneer, "It's not easy to learn good things, but it's easy to learn bad things."

If you don't want me to teach Wu Xueliang some unconventional and valuable lessons, you'd better put away that harsh face. Even if you continue to hurl insults, I won't hesitate to hurt your feelings.

He chuckled softly, his fingertips tracing a line across Wu's mother's heart through her clothes.

She didn't concern herself with Zhao Di's romantic affairs, but she wasn't one to be bullied.

He walked up to Xiaxia with one hand in his pocket, bent his knees back, his feet touching the wall, and tilted his head. Muxia understood and deliberately asked in a voice loud enough for everyone present to hear:

"Five hundred, isn't that a bit too little?"

“That’s quite a lot,” Ruan Xianxian laughed. “This is the money to compensate the patients. Getting the perpetrator out of jail will cost a different amount.”

“You…” Wu’s mother stood up abruptly, “Don’t go too far.”

"Is this too much?" Ruan Xianxian tilted her head. "Is there anything more outrageous that you'd like to see? For example... being unable to leave Heilongjiang Province."

Seeing that although she was smiling, her eyes were like those of a hunter eyeing its prey, Wu's mother felt a chill run down her spine, wondering if she had fallen into the den of some evil organization.

Standing there in surprise and doubt for a long time, she changed her expression and said, "I remember now, aren't you that girl from the Ruan family?"

Your auntie used to hold you when you were little.

You should have said so earlier; this is like the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple.

I met your father before I came. I heard he's currently competing with a senior colleague for the position of division chief. Your husband might be able to put in a good word for him.

As soon as she finished speaking, she stared intently at the girl who had clenched her fists tightly at her words. Although her face did not change, the tense back that moment betrayed her nervousness.

I told you, what granddaughter wouldn't want her grandfather to be promoted?

The family's fate is intertwined; they rise and fall together. She seemed to have found a good way to control her, and her tone became more composed.

"Girls really do change a lot as they grow up, and your aunt won't play games with you anymore."

"Please have the woman inside sign a letter of understanding, and Auntie will let your Uncle Wu say a few good words for your grandfather up there, okay?"

Does the Ministry of Education have the authority to speak for the military? Do they think she's a three-year-old child who's easy to fool?

The Ruan family wants to marry her into the Jing family, and the Wu family wants Wu Xueliang to marry a daughter of the Jing family. What exactly is the background of this Jing family? I'll have Cai Cai investigate when I get back.

Her ever-changing expression finally settled on a righteous and awe-inspiring look: "Don't even think about it. A sister's bond is stronger than anything else. If you break my wings, I will destroy your entire paradise."

Wu's mother: ? ? ?

Say something, what should I say?

Mu Xia's toes were already gripping the ground tightly.

Just as Wu's mother was about to say something harsh, a loud argument broke out in the ward, followed by Zhao Di's sharp rebuke, "Get out."

"Wu Xueliang, I thought we were just incompatible, but now I realize that you are not only cowardly, but also despicable."

You want to marry someone else and expect me to wait for you? Where do you get the nerve?

The door was pulled open from the outside, and the three filed in. They saw Wu Xueliang grabbing Zhao Di and desperately trying to explain something, while Zhao Di struggled incessantly with a look of resistance on her face.

"What are you doing? Are you being a pervert?" Ruan Xianxian grabbed the person with one hand.

But Wu Xueliang didn't even look at her. His gaze passed over her, and his voice was full of pleading, "Listen to me, let me explain. I really have no choice but to accept this."

Zhao Di, propping her head up and breathing rapidly, said, "Do me a favor and kick him out."

"Let him go! What are you doing?" Wu's mother rushed up and shielded Wu Xueliang behind her. "Let's go then."

"Don't even mention a first marriage; with your qualifications, you wouldn't even be able to marry into the Wu family on your second marriage. Do you really think you're some kind of precious princess? You should be secretly happy that you had a relationship with my son."

Seeing that Zhao Di's lips were trembling and she was really uncomfortable, Ruan Xianxian suddenly turned her head and said, "Get out! Don't force me to slap you."

"Yes, sister-in-law," the daughter of the old lady in the next bed also advised, "your loud noise is disturbing the patients' rest."

When Chu Li arrived, he saw this chaotic scene.

He slammed the thermos he had brought onto the table with a thud, then stepped in front of the two women to block the view of the beautiful woman.

"Third Aunt, what's all this fuss about?"

The Wu family is a distant relative of the Chu family, and according to seniority, Chu Li should call the beautiful woman "Third Aunt".

Upon seeing him arrive, the beautiful woman's arrogance soared, as if she had found a powerful backer in an instant. "Li Zi, you've come at the perfect time! This is terrible! Auntie is going to be bullied to death by these little brats!"

Do they think they're some kind of criminal gang? They even threatened to make sure your aunt never leaves Heilongjiang province.

“It’s not a threat.” The beautiful woman was gesturing excitedly when she suddenly heard a cold voice. She fell silent instantly, like a chicken being choked.

Chu Li turned around, gave the three women a reassuring look, and led them out of the ward.

"Since Liangzi has agreed to the marriage with the Jing family, Third Aunt should take her people back to the capital as soon as possible to complete the wedding."

Oh, by the way, the old man asked me to pass on a saying to you: "When the sky rains, misfortune befalls people."

...

"Waaaah! Xianxian, I thought we would part amicably, do you know what he just said to me?"

He said he had his own unavoidable difficulties, that he would marry Jingxuan, and that I should wait for him for three years. What does he take me for?

In the ward, Zhao Di hugged Ruan Xianxian tightly around the waist and cried uncontrollably, while the latter stroked the girl's smooth, black short hair again and again.

"Don't cry, I know. Out with the old, in with the new. Everyone encounters a few jerks in their life. You've already done a great job!"

"Really?" Zhao Di slowly stopped crying. Seeing that she had almost ruined the other person's clothes with her tears, she took out a tissue and wiped herself clean.

"I thought you would look down on me."

"Why do you have such thoughts?" Mu Xia asked in surprise.

Zhao Di became increasingly embarrassed. Back when she was a sent-down youth, she talked about her expectations for a partner. She said she wanted someone who loved her, and her friends rolled their eyes at her.

"You did it, didn't you?" Ruan Xianxian didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "There's nothing wrong with him being with you when he liked you, and you decisively broke up with him when the relationship changed."

She didn't turn into the love-obsessed person I had imagined.

"Seriously, we've only been gone two months, how did you two end up together? I'm really curious."

Meanwhile, after dropping off the Wu family mother and son at the guesthouse, Chu Li went downstairs for a stroll, then, feeling it was about time, returned to the guesthouse.

"I asked, and they said that without five thousand yuan, Jingxuan will be sentenced however she should be. Is Third Aunt sure she wants to get involved in this mess?"
