Jiang Xinkai was so imposing that Lin Lin was momentarily intimidated.
She glanced at Jiang Wanning, who remained silent to the side, a hint of pleasure flashing across her face: "What? You can't bear to part with the wealth and glory of our Zhao family? Fine, kneel down and beg me, and maybe I'll even give you a bite to eat."
Su Zhihan was furious when she heard this.
"Pah! Do I need to beg you? Mrs. Zhao, back when Wan Ning was in school, she was always covered in bruises. It was you, you old hag, who did it! Wan Ning has never said a bad word about you all these years! Ha, I hope you won't regret it, Mrs. Zhao, for mistaking fish wood for pearls!"
"You! Just as I thought, like attracts like, you're all ill-mannered! How dare you interrupt your elders?"
"Who do you consider yourself an elder?"
Jiang Wanning's temples throbbed; she hadn't slept well yesterday because Tao Wenrui had drugged her.
"Big brother, can you throw them out? I don't want to see them."
Jiang Wanning looked at the familiar-looking bodyguard.
Upon hearing this, the bodyguards nodded and immediately stepped forward, each grabbing one of the Zhao mother and daughter and carrying them away like chicks.
"Get out of my way! Let me go! Do you know who I am? I'm Mrs. Zhao! I'll make sure you can't stay in Nancheng!"
The bodyguards ignored him and simply threw the man off the floor, bringing peace and quiet to the world.
Jiang Xinkai didn't think much of it, assuming these people were Old Zhang's bodyguards, but Su Zhihan seemed to understand something.
Jiang Xinkai's eyes filled with heartache.
Just by meeting the Zhao family today, one can imagine what kind of life Jiang Wanning used to lead.
Now we can only pray that my wife's surgery is successful, so that they will still have half a lifetime to be good to their daughter.
Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, the light displaying the words "Operating" in the operating room went out. Then, the operating room door opened, and Old Zhang, though exhausted, walked out in high spirits. Jiang Wanning and the others immediately stood up.
Old Zhang took off his mask, his gaze lingering on Jiang Wanning for a few seconds, his expression relaxed: "The surgery was very successful. Her subsequent rehabilitation will be handled at our hospital. Someone will arrange everything. Xiao Li will explain the specific precautions to you. Don't worry, little girl, your mother has a strong will to live. She will definitely get better."
"Thank you," Jiang Wanning said gratefully.
Old Zhang waved his hand and left quickly.
He called Fu Chenyuan after getting into the car: "You brat, the surgery was a success. Don't forget the painting you promised me. Also, you have a good eye, much better than my good-for-nothing son."

After waiting another half hour, Xia Rushan was transferred to the ICU ward, and will be transferred to another hospital once her condition stabilizes.
Dr. Li's attitude was much more relaxed: "Ms. Xia's surgery was very successful, and her will to live is very strong. She will definitely have no problem with her subsequent recovery. You can rest assured."
Jiang Wanning looked through the glass wall at Xia Rushan lying there. The anesthesia hadn't worn off yet, but perhaps because of the bond between mother and daughter, Xia Rushan suddenly opened her eyes and looked over.
With great effort, she seemed to see Jiang Wanning clearly, forced a smile, and then closed her eyes again.
Jiang Wanning looked at Xia Rushan for a while, then turned to Jiang Xinkai and said, "Dad, you stay here and watch over Mom. I have to go out for a bit."
"Okay. Wan Ning, thank you for your hard work."
Looking at Jiang Xinkai's white hair, Jiang Wanning shook her head. It was Jiang Xinkai who had it even harder.
Seeing that Xia Rushan's surgery was successful, Su Zhihan also went back.
Jiang Wanning took out her phone and dialed Fu Chenyuan's number.
"Mr. Fu, the surgery was a success. Let's go get our marriage certificate. Which civil affairs bureau? I'll go straight there."
"Have you thought it through?"
"Mmm," Jiang Wanning said softly, "I've thought it through."
Fu Chenyuan's lips curled up slightly, but he tried his best to keep it down, though the voice that came out seemed to convey a sense of pleasure.
"I just happened to be passing by the hospital. Come down here. I'll wait for you."
When Jiang Wanning went down to the first floor, she saw that the nurses at the front desk were exuding a unique kind of craziness and excitement.
"Ahhh, that man is so handsome!"
Is she a celebrity?
"Oh my god, I really want to go up and ask for their WeChat."
"Don't even think about it. Xiaohong was so scared when she went to ask for WeChat that she cried."
"That scary?"
"Yes, Xiao Hong burst into tears the moment that man gave her a single look."
"Even if she was scared to tears, I admire her courage. At least she got a glance from a handsome guy."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Then, to their astonishment, the man who had initially kept his distance suddenly revealed a faint smile and looked in their direction, as if spring had suddenly arrived.
"Ahhh, he saw me coming! Who is he looking at? God, if I could make him look like that, I would die happy."
Jiang Wanning had good hearing, and upon hearing these people's infatuated words, she couldn't help but smile and shake her head.
She didn't realize that the man she was going to meet was the very protagonist they were talking about.
Jiang Wanning doesn't like to look around when she walks; she's very focused.
She looked ahead and saw Fu Chenyuan.
The man's eyes were smiling; his amorous eyes, like peach blossoms, seemed to hold spring water, and he looked at the dog with deep affection.
Fu Chenyuan saw her and stood still. He took ninety-nine steps before reaching her, and for the last step, he hoped she would come.
He wanted to see her walk up to him.
Jiang Wanning saw Fu Chenyuan, paused slightly, took a deep breath, and walked towards him.
As soon as she approached, Fu Chenyuan reached out his hand to her.
Jiang Wanning was stunned for a moment before she reacted, and reached out her hand, letting Fu Chenyuan take it.
This was the first time they had ever held hands so formally.
The man's large hand tightly enveloped her small hand, and the skin covered by his hand felt a tingling sensation, which was a little awkward but not unpleasant.
"Have you been waiting long?"
"No, I just arrived too."
Actually, it's always been here.
Before coming here today, Mr. Zhang had given us the approximate time of the surgery, so he has not left.
Fu Chenyuan opened the car door for Jiang Wanning and placed his hand on her head, being almost too considerate.
After Jiang Wanning sat down, Fu Chenyuan followed suit.
"Did you bring all your documents?"
"Yes, I brought it."
"Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
The driver agreed and drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Today is nothing special, June 15th, but I didn't expect there to be so many people getting married at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Jiang Wanning glanced at Fu Chenyuan subconsciously; the man was personally involved and asking about the specific procedures.
Despite being worth hundreds of millions in no time, he spent his time on this without showing any impatience, and Jiang Wanning didn't have to worry about anything throughout the whole process.
Jiang Wanning looked around, feeling somewhat bewildered. She had never imagined that one day she would have a whirlwind marriage with a man she had only met once!
