Shen Mingzhi regretted coming over.

If she had known she would get herself into trouble again, she wouldn't have come!

After finishing his water, Jiang Shaozhen also closed his eyes in silence to rest.

Shen Mingzhi couldn't help but say, "Since you're alright, I'll be going now..."

"I haven't eaten for days, go buy me two steamed buns," Jiang Shao Chen said, opening his eyes and speaking to her in a pleading tone.

Shen Mingzhi turned around, rolled her eyes, and said, "Just you wait!"

Of course, she wouldn't buy steamed buns; instead, she went to a nearby steamed bun shop and bought steamed buns.

Now that she's wealthy, Jiang Shao-chen used to buy her meat buns when he took care of her, so she couldn't be harsh on her patients.

She bought five steamed buns and returned to Jiang Shaozhen's hospital room. She was surprised to see that he had changed his clothes. "You're not staying in the hospital anymore?"

"I'll just apply some medicine when I get home. The allergic reaction has subsided, and it's not life-threatening." Jiang Shao Chen walked up to her, took the food she had bought for him, and opened it. Smelling the aroma of meat, he unconsciously looked up. "Why did you buy me steamed buns?"

"Don't overthink it. You always buy me steamed buns, so I'm just returning the favor. Anyway, I'm making money now," Shen Mingzhi immediately defended herself.

Jiang Shaochen took out a steamed bun, took a bite, and said softly, "The steamed buns my wife bought are more fragrant than the ones I bought."

Shen Mingzhi thought to herself, "What's wrong with him?!"

"Aren't they all the same?!" she said angrily.

Jiang Shao Chen looked at her short hair, wearing an orange dress, and was strikingly beautiful, and his heart stirred slightly.

Moreover, she looks quite charming when she's angry.

Shen Mingzhi felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze, as if she was about to be devoured by him at any moment, so she immediately looked away.

In her previous life, she focused on running her business, mainly because she lacked luck with men... She would never have dared to dream of someone as good-looking as Jiang Shaochen, who could play the male lead in a Hong Kong drama.

But now, she has one right in front of her, and he's even married to her!

"Let's go, I'll take you home." Jiang Shao Chen ate half a bun in a few bites and said to her in a muffled voice.

Shen Mingzhi hummed in agreement. Since he had already been discharged from the hospital, there was no point in him staying here.

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Shaozhen said to her, "My dad drove the car away. He doesn't know I've been discharged, so we'll walk back."

"I'm not some delicate young lady who insists on riding in a car." Shen Mingzhi was still sulking. She didn't like men who were too domineering, and she felt uncomfortable being suppressed by them.

Jiang Shao Chen ate three, and handed the remaining two to her, saying, "You eat them."

“I’m not hungry. If you can’t finish it, I’ll take it back.” Shen Mingzhi stared at him seriously. “Don’t be polite with me. You’re tall and strong. Five buns aren’t a lot, are they?”

Jiang Shaozhen assumed she was worried he hadn't eaten enough, so he withdrew his hand and continued eating.

The two slowly walked towards the courtyard house.

Jiang Shaochen is handsome and Shen Mingzhi is beautiful, which has attracted a lot of attention.

"Get me a copy of your medical records from the hospital later. I'm not planning to go into medicine, but I'll help you figure it out, just in case there's a solution," Shen Mingzhi said after feeling awkward following the journey.

Jiang Shaozhen hummed in agreement, a fleeting smile playing on his lips, but it quickly tightened again.

As soon as the two arrived at the entrance of the courtyard house, they saw a woman holding a child and an old woman wandering around the entrance.

Upon seeing Shen Mingzhi, the old woman immediately stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and said, "I heard you've made a lot of money! Zhizhi, Zhang Ping's sister, her child is seriously ill. As her daughter-in-law, you can't just abandon your husband's sister!"

The Zhang family kicked her out. She still remembered how Zhang Ping's mother, Gao Xiulian, treated her back then!

Shen Mingzhi immediately pulled her hand back and pushed her away, "You kicked me out when I was pregnant and about to give birth, and now you say I'm a daughter-in-law of the Zhang family? Have you no shame?!"

If she hadn't been kicked out, would she have almost died? And she wouldn't have had to beg the Jiang family for help!

“I was misled by slander back then! Besides, you weren’t even carrying Zhang Ping’s son. Who knows whose child you were carrying!” Gao Xiulian shouted.

The woman holding the child stood trembling to the side, her lips pressed tightly together, saying nothing.

Seeing that someone had stopped to look at them, Jiang Shaozhen immediately stepped forward to protect Shen Mingzhi, pulling her behind him. He said loudly, "She's married to me now, she's a member of the Jiang family, watch your words!"

“We just want the money! We don’t care whose child she’s carrying! She’s made so much money, so she has to take care of Zhang Ping’s sister! Oh, I heard that she went to your Jiang family under the guise of being Zhang Ping’s widow and forced your Jiang family to marry her. She’s benefited from Zhang Ping’s fame and is living a good life. You can’t just ignore my daughter’s child!” Gao Xiulian grabbed Jiang Shaozhen’s hand and kept babbling on.

"Who are you calling promiscuous? Say it again and see what happens!" Jiang Shaozhen grabbed her hand, his voice cold and sharp. "Apologize to her!"

"Ouch! Someone's going to get into a fight! The soldiers are hitting people! I misspoke about her being a womanizer! When my son went away to serve in the army, she went off to sleep with some random man, got pregnant, and then tricked Zhang Ping into marrying her! If I hadn't been smart enough not to let them get a marriage certificate, she would be clinging to our Zhang family now!" Gao Xiulian said sternly.

Shen Mingzhi was so angry that her head was spinning.

Just then, Zhang Ping's younger sister, Zhang Hua, rushed forward with the child in her arms and knelt down in front of her and Jiang Shao Chen.

"Sister-in-law... I still respectfully call you sister-in-law. Please save my child. You married into the Jiang family and live a life of luxury because of my brother's widowhood. You even started a small business. Please save my child. I have no breast milk. My child is going to die..." Zhang Hua knelt on the ground, crying and begging.

More and more people gathered to watch.

"The Jiang family are such good people! They're even willing to acknowledge Shen Mingzhi's bastard child and marry her! They're a military family with such high moral character! Please save my daughter's child!" Gao Xiulian shouted at the top of her lungs.

This is not a compliment; it's clearly a public statement that Jiang Shaozhen married a woman pregnant with an illegitimate child.

This will damage the Chiang family's reputation.

Seeing Jiang Shaozhen so enraged, Shen Mingzhi immediately pulled him back and stepped forward to help Zhang Hua, saying, "If you want money, then you want money. Why are you kneeling? I'm so young, and your kneeling will shorten my lifespan. Let's go inside."

“We won’t go in. We need to go to the hospital and buy baby formula later. You can give us two thousand yuan. I heard you’ve made a lot of money. Two thousand shouldn’t be too much, right?” Gao Xiulian was a shrewd person and immediately rejected her suggestion.

Shen Mingzhi's amiable expression vanished immediately. "Two thousand? You should ask the people around you how much two thousand is."

Jiang Shaozhen was filled with anger, but he really couldn't bring himself to lay a hand on this unreasonable person.
