I suddenly realized why he looked so haggard and dejected, with a pale face.

"Jiang Wan, please help Jiang Yi. Everything we did in the past was wrong. I apologize to you, okay? Please, just do me a favor and go to the hospital to help her..."

Tang Xiue suddenly stepped forward and grabbed my hand. The abrupt movement startled the dog, causing it to jump and shrink behind me.

I frowned even more, a cold smile creeping onto my face as I looked at Tang Xiue.

"It's rare to hear you apologize in this lifetime," I couldn't help but say sarcastically.

"I apologize to you, Jiang Wan. I'll do anything you ask, just please save Jiang Yi. She's your own sister, a human life..." Tang Xiu'e shed tears, clearly heartbroken at the thought of losing her daughter.

From a mother's perspective, she was undoubtedly a competent mother, and Jiang Yi was also happy.

But my mind still held onto reason: "Since she is beyond saving, there is no point in giving her a blood transfusion to prolong her life for a day or two. Why burden the living?"

I am stating the facts.

When my mother was in the late stages of cancer and was on her deathbed, she received blood transfusions, but the effect was minimal.

It's nothing more than seeking psychological comfort.

Jiang Yi has a rare blood type, which means it's impossible to find a large enough blood source to extract platelets to keep her alive. Even if I were to drain all the blood from my body, it would be a drop in the ocean and futile.

“It’s meaningful! She woke up yesterday after Yan Qing gave her a blood transfusion and even said something to me…” Tang Xiu’e’s voice trembled, her face full of pleading.

I sighed helplessly to myself.

She refuses to accept the fact that her daughter is seriously ill and about to die; she has become obsessed.

She thought that by constantly giving blood transfusions, she could keep Jiang Yi alive and wake her up every now and then—how could that be possible?

If this were the case, it wouldn't be so scary for wealthy people to get sick.

"Sorry, I'm not going." After a moment of silence, I refused outright, then pulled my myna bird away.

"Jiang Wan! I'll kneel down for you, okay!" Behind her, Tang Xiu'e cried out in anguish, and knelt down with a thud.

I couldn't help but frown, then stopped and turned around.

"Aunt Tang, don't do this, get up!" Gu Yanqing tugged at Tang Xiu'e, trying to pull her up from the ground.

Whether it was because Tang Xiue was too heavy or Gu Yanqing was too weak, he failed to pull her several times.

I looked at Tang Xiue calmly, unmoved: "If you want to kneel, then kneel. Consider it an atonement for your sins and those of the Jiang family. It would be even better if you could kowtow a few times."

I know Tang Xiue too well. Even if she kneels down and begs me now, she may not truly realize her mistake.

It was just a performance to trick me into donating blood to Jiang Yi; it was all an act.

Sure enough, before I finished speaking, Tang Xiu'e and Gu Yanqing were both stunned and stared at me blankly.

The myna bird was so anxious that it kept spinning around in circles, chirping loudly.

I couldn't be bothered with them, so I turned around and walked away with my dog.

When I came back from walking the dog, they were nowhere to be seen downstairs.

At night, I had a dream in which Jiang Yi died with blood flowing from all seven orifices; it was a very tragic dream.

When I woke up the next day and thought about it, I didn't know if it was true or not, anyway, it had nothing to do with me.

I go to work at the company until 3 pm, then leave early to go home, wash up, and get ready.

This was my first time attending such a grand banquet, and I couldn't be negligent, but I also couldn't dress too extravagantly and steal the spotlight from the hosts.

After careful consideration, I chose a caramel-colored pantsuit with a lapel design that revealed a white, court-style shirt underneath. The perfectly cinched waist elongated my legs, making me appear several centimeters taller and giving me a slender and commanding presence.

My long hair was casually tied up and pinned behind my head, secured with a black bow. It was understated yet sweet and cute, which softened my usual strong and capable demeanor.

I spun around in front of the mirror a few times and was very satisfied with myself.

My phone rang, and when I picked it up, it read: Su Shenglin.

"Hello, Mr. Su."

"Jiang Wan, the driver will be downstairs in about ten minutes."

"Okay, I'm all ready, I'll be right down." I replied cheerfully, then added apologetically, "It's really too much trouble for you to send someone to pick me up."

"It's alright. Driving on mountain roads at night is not safe. Since I invited you, I want to make sure you are safe."

He was as thoughtful and meticulous as ever, and his conduct was impeccable.

After hanging up the phone, I put my phone in my handbag, along with my lipstick and foundation, and made sure everything was okay before heading out.

Throughout the journey, I was filled with excitement, feeling both nervous and incredibly excited.

At this point, I had completely forgotten all the grievances I had previously held in my mind.

I no longer care what the Su family's purpose was in approaching me.

I just wanted to broaden my horizons, see the world, and meet Su Shenglin.

Hmm, maybe we can even develop some VIP clients.

An hour later, the Hongqi L5 arrived at Suyuan.

The driver said, "Miss Jiang, the second young master is right at the door."

Yes, I saw it from afar.

He was wearing a dark blue suit with a pocket square on his chest. He was tall and handsome with striking features and an air of refined elegance.

Standing there, he evoked only four words in one's mind—handsome and elegant.

Butler Zhou came forward to open the door for me. I took my handbag down and saw Su Shenglin approaching. I smiled slightly and said, "Good evening, Mr. Su."

"Hello." Su Shenglin looked me up and down, his eyes showing amazement. "You look very beautiful today, unlike anyone else."

"Thank you." I thought they were just being polite.

Later, upon entering the banquet hall, they discovered that all the young women present were dressed in evening gowns, showing off their beautiful figures and doing their utmost to display their most beautiful and charming side, hoping to gain Su Shenglin's special attention.
