I had even organized a "support group" for him, but he deserted me at the last minute.

I also need to inform the "support group" not to go to court tomorrow. As for when to go, wait for my instructions.

Those aunties and grandmas, attracted by the lifetime 40% discount on my brand, all had excellent attitudes and said they would come whenever I called.

Sitting idly by and waiting for my fate isn't my style. I thought about it all night and decided to visit this scumbag tomorrow.

I deduce that he will definitely go back to the same hospital and see the same doctor when he gets sick.

When I went over to take a look, it really was true!

Li Qinglan and Gu Yutian were both at the hospital, and they were both surprised to see me.

Gu Yutian's tone was sharp: "What are you doing here? Didn't my brother apply for a postponement of the court hearing? Did you chase him all the way to the hospital to forcibly drag him to court?"

I couldn't be bothered with that, and just asked, "What illness does your brother have?"

"What, you're concerned about my brother again?"

“I care when he gets better and we should get a divorce as soon as possible, instead of dragging this on.”

"You—you really are cold-blooded and heartless! You treat your own family like this, and you treat the man you've loved for so many years like this too! My brother must have been blind to have been with you for so many years!"

I was getting impatient and pushed her aside, ready to go straight into the ward, when Li Qinglan called me back.

"Jiang Wan, he just fell asleep, don't go in yet."

I turned around.

Li Qinglan explained, "Yan Qing's illness is very similar to his previous one; it's an immune system disease. The doctors are still investigating the specific cause. He needs to rest during this period and cannot overexert himself or get angry. That's why I made the decision to have his lawyer apply for a postponement."

After hearing this, I felt a bit conflicted.

I was right, his old illness has relapsed?

"How long will his treatment last?"

"I don't know. He was depressed and listless, which also affected the treatment effect."

Li Qinglan replied, walked closer to me, and looked pleading.

"Xiao Wan, you've been together for six years and even got your marriage certificate. They say even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. Does it really have to come to this?"

I took a step back, my face calm, and said frankly, "You're worried that his old illness will relapse and that he'll need long-term blood transfusions, and that he'll have to rely on me, so you don't want me to divorce him, right?"

Gu Yutian immediately retorted, "Jiang Wan, you're too good at flattering yourself! Do you think my brother can't live without you?"

"Isn't that the truth? Otherwise, why wouldn't you all agree to a divorce?"

"you--"

Gu Yutian was speechless after I retorted.

During the stalemate, Gu Yanqing's low, gentle voice came from the ward: "Mom, let Jiang Wan in."

Li Qinglan was startled and quickly pushed open the ward door. "Yan Qing, you're awake?"

I stood in the corridor and peeked through the crack in the door. I saw Gu Yanqing slowly sit up.

Now that you're awake, let's talk face to face.

I walked in and glanced at Gu Yanqing—he did indeed look disheveled, much thinner, and his skin was deathly pale, much like when he was sick a few years ago.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to bother you while you're recovering, but the divorce really can't be delayed any longer. If you're not fit to go to court, then we'll just have to get a divorce by mutual consent. Once you've signed the papers, we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and it'll be done in a few minutes."

Before I came, I had already prepared my explanation, and I even brought the divorce agreement with me.

Before I could finish speaking, I took the divorce agreement out of my bag, opened it, and handed it over.

The scene was tense. Gu Yanqing leaned against the headboard, staring at me with a faint, desolate look in his eyes, before slowly lowering his gaze to the divorce agreement.

As a result, Gu Yutian rushed up and snatched the divorce agreement away.

"My brother is already like this, and you're still pressuring him. Do you have any humanity at all?"

"It's not my fault that your brother is like this, so stop trying to morally blackmail me." I snatched the divorce papers back and took two steps forward to put them on the bedside table.

"Gu Yanqing, let me say it again: I saved your life and treated you with the utmost kindness. You betrayed me first, so don't blame me for turning my back on you now. Consider it an act of kindness for yourself, and just sign the divorce papers quickly!"

Gu Yanqing stared at me intently, and after I finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand and took the divorce agreement.

I thought he would just tear it up, so I reminded him, "I prepared a lot; tearing this up won't do you any good."

To my surprise, after glancing at the divorce agreement, he turned his hand slightly toward me and uttered a single word: "Pen."

I was stunned and didn't react.

He looked up at me: "Where's the pen? Didn't you want me to sign the divorce papers?"

Gu Yutian was taken aback and stared at him, asking, "Brother, are you sure? You really want to divorce her?"

I snapped out of my daze, overjoyed, and quickly rummaged through my bag for a pen. "Looks like you still have a conscience, you've finally come to your senses."

I handed him the pen.

Gu Yanqing took the document and signed each of the three copies of the divorce agreement.

"Is this alright?" He placed the pen on the divorce agreement and handed it to me.

I nodded, quite satisfied: "Okay, when should we go to the Civil Affairs Bureau?"

"Wait until I'm discharged from the hospital."

I frowned, then suddenly realized, "You're not going to stay in the hospital for the rest of your life, are you?"

Even if a divorce agreement is signed, it will be completely useless.

Gu Yutian jumped out again and yelled, "What do you mean? Are you cursing my brother to never get better?"

I glanced at her and rolled my eyes. "Did you eat gunpowder for breakfast? I wasn't talking to you, so don't interrupt."

"you--"

"Sweetie!" Gu Yanqing stopped her, then looked at me and said, "No, I'll be discharged in a week at most."

I nodded, accepting the timeframe. "Okay, I'll wait. But I won't withdraw the lawsuit from the court either. Let's see which one is faster."

I'm afraid he'll cause trouble again, so I have to take a two-pronged approach and be prepared for both possibilities.

"You've gone this far with me," Gu Yanqing smiled helplessly, staring intently at me as she asked, "Are you in such a hurry because Su Shenglin confessed to you?"

I stared at him, feeling a little guilty, but mostly angry.

"Gu Yanqing, why do you always drag other people into our mess? Don't you know how disgusting you are? Why should I stay with you and feel guilty for betraying me?"

"I have never betrayed you. From beginning to end, I have only loved you."

"Ha—" I laughed in anger, "You're just fooling yourself."

After saying that, I was about to turn around and leave when Gu Yanqing turned around and asked, "I heard that you brought down the Jiang family and even personally sent Uncle Jiang to prison. Was it necessary to be so ruthless? After all, he is your biological father. He raised you and supported your education, which is why you are where you are today."

I stared at him, speechless, for a moment, then said sarcastically, "You're not just a performative personality, you're a super saint."

"Putting things in perspective, he may not be a good father, but he doesn't deserve this much trouble," Gu Yanqing said calmly.

I chuckled and said nonchalantly, "What can we do? He's already in jail. Since you're so compassionate, why not help him find a good lawyer, pay his taxes and fines, and try to reduce his sentence as much as possible?"
