"Have you heard? The old lady from the Jing family committed suicide out of guilt."

"What suicide? It's clearly a self-inflicted injury. Medicine can't cure someone who wants to die. It's hard to live, but easy to die. If someone really wanted to die, would they just happen to be saved by someone?"

Two nurses carrying trays walked by and deliberately spoke loudly.

He looked openly into the ward, only to meet Su Tingrong's gaze and glare back.

"What are you looking at? I'm talking to you! Instead of thinking about crooked ways, you should go home and educate your children and nephews properly. You want to steal other girls just because they're pretty and have good jobs? Bah!"

"The Kawaii Association is arresting people all over the world, why didn't they arrest you too?"

They heard all of this from a particularly beautiful woman who came to the hospital that morning to visit a patient.

By the way, who was that woman visiting again?

Unbeknownst to them, the two looked at each other in bewilderment, tossed their braids, and left!

The old woman closed her eyes, her face ashen.

The old lady of the Jing family forcibly took advantage of an innocent female colleague because she coveted her job. The men of the Jing family are all useless and want to crawl into the old lady's crotch.

Their heinous acts were witnessed by a security officer on a mission, who then arrested the Jing family man who was committing the crimes.

When the news reached the leaders, they gave her a few words of criticism and left her room to make amends. But the old woman was not satisfied and threatened to commit suicide to force the security bureau to release her. The news spread like wildfire.

"I heard that the old woman was drawing talismans in the house with her own blood, each word filled with sobs and cries of grievance. Do you think there might be more to the story?"

The news spread quickly among the younger generation in the circle.

"Some people scoffed, 'What's the story? My sister is studying medicine. She said it's very difficult to commit suicide by cutting your wrists. The wound will heal after a period of time if it's exposed to the air.'"

If you really want to die, why not just hang yourself with a belt? Why go through all that trouble?

The younger generation, who had no entertainment options, chatted happily, while the elders in the family who knew about it remained silent.

Su Tingrong didn't threaten to kill himself; he clearly didn't succeed in dying.

If she succeeds, the higher-ups might suffer in silence, as the Jing family would have to be compensated no matter how many people are forced to their deaths.

What is the coincidence that led to a suicide attempt being saved?

They preferred to believe that someone had seen through Su Tingrong's scheme and broken the deadlock.

Interesting. With such a young member of the Ruan family causing such a stir upon returning to the capital, what is Ruan Kangri doing all this time?

If you treat your granddaughter well, she'll be carried along by your coattails.

Tsk tsk, wild boars can't eat fine chaff.

A blessed person does not enter the door of an unblemished person!

That's how people are. Su Tingrong's death was successful. Regardless of right or wrong, there will always be people who pity her, or they will never mention it.

Now that someone is lying peacefully in the hospital, people start saying hurtful things, and nobody seems to mind discussing it.

The most frightening thing is that some people know in their hearts that Su Tingrong's actions not only ruined himself, but also offended the top leader.

Although leaders are broad-minded and won't dwell on such trivial matters, there are plenty of people below who will speculate!

It will be difficult for the Jing family to regain their power!

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Su Tingrong heard that she had been resuscitated by doctors after fainting several times. She stopped trying to commit suicide, probably realizing that this tactic wouldn't work anymore.

That noon, Ruan Xianxian brought three catties of pork to the hospital to visit a sick patient.

She had spent the entire morning squeezing into the supply and marketing cooperative to finally buy pork that didn't require ration coupons.

Encountering it is a blessing.

Knock, knock, knock— A knock sounds on the door—

Su Tingrong, lying in her hospital bed with her hair gray but still able to conceal her youthful beauty, didn't open her eyes.

Ruan Xianxian coughed lightly, "May I come in?"

Su Tingrong suddenly opened her eyes.

Today, Ruan Xianxian wore a bright red cotton-padded jacket, which her grandmother personally put on her.

Down jackets are fine for looking stylish, but if you actually wear that stuff outside all day, you'll either freeze to death or freeze silly.

She has fair skin and is young, and even the slightly eccentric colors and patterns look beautiful on her.

“Ruan Xianxian,” Su Tingrong said with certainty.

This guy preemptively accused me, "Yes, I heard you wanted to see me, so I came to check on you. Grandma Jing, is there something you need?"

Su Tingrong closed her eyes. Looking for her? It had been several days since she had looked for her. What a blatant attempt to turn the tables.

However, I do want to see her.

He decided to get straight to the point: "What do you want in return for letting the Jing family go?"

Ruan Xianxian absentmindedly picked at the pigskin, then remembered she shouldn't; she'd been busy working outside all year and hadn't had a chance to eat any fatty pork yet.

When I get back, I'll ask Grandma to render lard so we can have lard mixed with rice for dinner.

Upon hearing the question, she looked up and smiled, realizing there was no need to pretend to be crazy anymore.

"Grandma, you should know that it's no longer a matter of whether I want to let the Jing family off the hook. You've made a series of foolish moves, and the worst part is that no one has been hurt."

Su Tingrong was breathing rapidly, and her hands under the blanket were trembling slightly as she tried to suppress her dejection.

"Really? Besides you, little girl from the Ruan family, who else have I offended?"

"Isn't it pretentious of you to talk like that?" Ruan Xianxian stood up. "Before we met, I thought we, grandmother and granddaughter, would be able to exchange a few blows."

Truly, seeing it in person is not as good as hearing about it!

Ruan Xianxian looked disappointed and got up to leave. Su Tingrong took a few deep breaths and said, "I promise you."

"Promise me what?" Ruan Xianxian turned around, feigning ignorance.

Between two evils, choose the lesser. What if from the beginning it was just that she and Ruan Kangri were planning to have a twilight romance in their later years?

Will the rumors spread less?

No, Su Tingrong gripped the bedsheet tightly, his gloomy old eyes revealing a twisted ferocity.

Ruan Xianxian added fuel to the fire, saying, "I heard that Uncle Jing spoke rudely and maliciously slandered the heroes who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty, making outrageous remarks in public."

The verdict should be handed down soon!

Don't worry, the sentence won't be too severe; at most, it'll be a year or two."
