As the car drove into the night, slow, lyrical jazz tunes flowed from the speakers. The female singer's gentle and magnetic voice added a touch of languid comfort to the desolate night.
However, both of them were preoccupied with their own thoughts and remained silent the whole way.
The car stopped downstairs at the city hospital half an hour later.
As Yu Wan unbuckled her seatbelt, she said, "I'm staying here tonight. You can go back first."
As she opened the car door, Meng Shen couldn't help but call out, "Wanwan..."
Yu Wan stopped what she was doing and turned her head to look at him.
The dappled sunlight streamed through the car window, falling on her delicate features. Her eyes were distant and cold, filled with aggression.
All the words caught in his throat for a moment. Meng Shen pursed his lips and smiled, "Should I bring you breakfast tomorrow morning?"
"Are you trying to ask me what my relationship with Xiao Ling is?" Yu Wan suddenly asked, her expression inscrutable.
Meng Shen paused slightly, then scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, "It's okay if you don't want to answer. I was just curious." No, he was worried about her.
Yu Wan met his gaze without flinching.
“Yes, that’s exactly what you think.” She smiled rather casually: “Legally and by blood, she is my mother.”
Like a thunderclap in the cold, quiet night of deep winter, the news sent chills down Meng Shen's spine, leaving him speechless for a long time.

The surgery had already finished at the hospital.
The wound reopened, he was too exhausted, and he suffered a heavy blow... which is why Tang Yue fell into a coma.
Zhang Guofeng deliberately waited in the office before leaving get off work, and finally caught Yu Wan, giving her a one-hour-long nursing lesson on postoperative recovery precautions.
Finally, he stuffed a stack of books he had prepared in advance into her arms.
"..." Yu Wan weighed the item in her hand and asked expressionlessly, "Can I throw it away now?"
These days, you have to do your homework to pay for medical treatment?
What kind of devilish doctor is he?!
Zhang Guofeng slowly sipped his tea, glancing at her sideways: "Do you know how many people want to hear me lecture every year?"
Yu Wan smiled slightly.
No, she didn't want to know, nor was she interested in knowing.
Zhang Guofeng raised his eyebrows arrogantly: "If I didn't find you pleasing to the eye, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths to find so much information for you."
He acted as if he'd hit the jackpot.
"..."
Did she activate some kind of academic genius buff?
Why does every old man want her to be positive and optimistic?
Being a happy, carefree, and unrestrained underachiever is pretty good.
Yu Wan took a deep breath, picked up a stack of post-operative recovery and care materials, left the office, and returned to the ward.
On the hospital bed.
Tang Yue lay motionless, his face deathly pale. His brows were furrowed tightly, seemingly from pain.
Thinking that he did it to protect himself...
Yu Wan gritted her teeth and resigned herself to starting to study!
-
Early in the morning.
Yu Wan was woken up by her cell phone ringing.
“Miss, Miss Feng from last time is at the old house. She said she has something important to tell you. Because you haven’t replied to my text messages or answered my calls, I had no choice but to come here.” Uncle Liu’s troubled voice came through the phone: “She was carrying a suitcase, so she must have come here as soon as she got off the plane.”
Yu Wan paused for a moment, then couldn't help but think of the daily spam text messages on her phone.
"...Tell her to wait, I'll be right back."
She scratched her hair, and as she stood up, the books on her chest fell to the ground with a clatter.
The sound was a bit loud.
Yu Wan subconsciously looked up and glanced at the hospital bed.
Tang Yue kept his eyes closed, showing no signs of waking up.
She breathed a sigh of relief, quickly picked up the book, and stuffed it into a cabinet at random. What would happen to her reputation if Tang Yue and the others found out?
The Yu family.
Feng Hanjin had just finished breakfast when she heard a joyful voice from outside: "Miss is back?"
Immediately afterwards, a lazy voice rang out: "Uncle Liu, I haven't had breakfast yet."
"Your favorite xiaolongbao is ready in the kitchen. Please go to the dining room and wait. I'll bring it out right away."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Liu."
There was a commotion outside the corridor, and soon the footsteps grew closer.
Feng Hanjin sat upright, rubbing her hands back and forth on her knees, her palms covered with a fine layer of sweat.
We've finally arrived!
The first thing that catches the eye is a pair of beautiful eyes, dark, clear, and piercing, as if frozen in frost. Then comes the straight nose and the thin, cherry-red lips... Every time I see that face, I am stunned to the core.
She hurriedly got up, murmured twice, and silently called out: Sister.
Yu Wan pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her, leaning back and crossing her legs like a lazy old man, her posture relaxed.
"Speak, what's the important thing?" she asked, tilting her head slightly.
Feng Hanjin sensed the impatience in her voice and tightened her grip: "It's like this, last week I overheard students from Jiangda talking about you at the bookstore. They're planning to deliberately fail the final exams to force the school to expel you."
She took out her phone, found the photo from that time, and handed it over: "I was afraid I couldn't explain it clearly over the phone, so I found it here." To be precise, she was worried that Yu Wan wouldn't read her text message, so she planned to tell her in person.
Yu Wan took the phone and looked at the face on the screen; it was unfamiliar. But with this photo, she could find the person.
"I'm sorry, I didn't have time to record." Feng Hanjin lowered her head and bit her lip lightly.
Yu Wan remained silent for two seconds, unable to articulate her feelings at that moment.
I am really annoyed.
Yesterday, she had a very unpleasant argument with Xiao Ling at the police station. This morning, her other daughter came to her door to warn her that someone was planning to harm her.
"Why?" Yu Wan tapped the table lightly, her brow furrowing almost imperceptibly.
For her, Feng Hanjin's existence was a thorn in her side, constantly reminding her of how Xiao Ling had abandoned her. Therefore, from the very beginning, she had no good feelings towards Feng Hanjin.
Even though her attitude was very clear, the other party kept trying to please her.
Why is that?
Her gaze held a hint of scrutiny.
"Because you..." is my older sister.
The words lingered on her lips, but Feng Hanjin, remembering how much she disliked their relationship, paused before replying again, "Because we are both Mom's daughters, and she wants you to be well."
"Oh."
These words were like an explosive trigger, the surging anger in her chest almost completely extinguishing Yu Wan's reason. She raised an eyebrow and asked maliciously, "Don't you know what happened at the police station yesterday?"
Feng Hanjin had a bad feeling and shook her head: "I just arrived in Jiangcheng today."
"Xiao Ling not only didn't dare to acknowledge me, but also used her status as my mother to lecture me, and even wanted to discuss my upbringing with my father." The low, slow voice, enunciating each word clearly, revealed the owner's strong sarcasm.
Upon hearing this, Feng Hanjin's face slowly turned pale.
