Since Aunt Li was too afraid to help, Yu Cheng studied the situation for a while but had no idea where to start; the advertising pages were too messy.
Never mind, let's talk about it tomorrow!
Yu Cheng returned home and couldn't fall asleep, so he started contacting Prime Minister Ou again.
Ou Xiang was half asleep when he was woken up by a video call. He was full of complaints. "Hey, Young Master Yu, what's wrong with you? It's almost three o'clock. I've been busy all day since I got up early, and I was hoping to get a good night's sleep!"
Yu Cheng ignored his complaints and started talking non-stop.
Although Prime Minister Ou complained, he was still listening attentively.
After all, Yu Cheng's offer was too high.
After Yu Cheng finished speaking, Prime Minister Ou opened his eyes. "Yu Cheng, what exactly do you want to ask?"
"I feel that the Yu Yao that Jian Yu is talking about is not the same person I know. I don't understand why Jian Yu would say that about Yu Yao? I really want to believe that Jian Yu is talking nonsense, but..."
"But after Aunt Li's behavior, Zhang Xiaoling's double-dealing, and the old lady in the ward's slander, you are afraid that you will wrong Jian Yu. You want to believe her, but you also think it is absurd."
Yu Cheng knew that Prime Minister Ou understood him, "Yes."
"What's there to be conflicted about? It's because you trust Yu Yao, with whom you have a deeper relationship, more. It's just that your life experience tells you that Jian Yu might be telling the truth. You know this, which is why you didn't make her suffer when Jian Yu told you to get lost."
"Yu Yao has never liked the sudden appearance of someone who looks exactly like her; her resistance is very obvious. As the only eldest daughter of the Yu family, she has always been the center of attention, so it's inevitable that she's a bit arrogant and self-centered, but that's all; she's not a bad person."
“I think the responsibility lies entirely with your parents. If your parents had accepted Jian Yu and mediated between them, things might not have turned out this way between Jian Yu and Yu Yao.”
Even if there are conflicts between the sisters, Jian Yu would never go so far as to run away from home.
Having grown up in an orphanage, she knew very well that in her parents' hearts, she couldn't compare to Yu Yao.
She wouldn't, and dared not, compete with Yu Yao for favor.
Because we can't win the competition.
Jian Yu would only want to sever ties with her parents if her relationship with them was also extremely bad.
“My dad left everything to my mom. My mom really thinks Jian Yu is terrible and doesn’t want to acknowledge her anymore.”
Ou Xiang felt that Qi Yuexi's attitude towards Jian Yu was simply abnormal. "Your mother doesn't like Jian Yu simply because he has many bad habits. Have you ever considered that perhaps Jian Yu's bad habits are exaggerated?"
"Probably not. My mom and the others only get angry when they have evidence."
"The evidence you're referring to is Yu Yao's oral account."
Yu Cheng felt that something was off about what Ou Xiang said. "That's not entirely true. Once, a gift I was preparing to give to a classmate was secretly taken by Jian Yu and hidden in her room."
"You took it secretly? How did you find it in her room?"
Yu Cheng said, "Yu Yao saw it and told me. I found it in Jian Yu's room."
"Isn't that still Yu Yao's account? It seems Yu Yao has stumbled upon it more often..."
Yu Cheng understood the meaning behind Ou Xiang's words; there were too many coincidences.
"Is Jian Yu really that stupid? Can't he choose a time when Yu Yao isn't home? How come Yu Yao always manages to catch him?"
"A coincidence, right?" Yu Cheng said, but his heart was pounding. It must be a coincidence, right?
Even Ou Xiang wasn't sure if it was a coincidence, so he could only offer the most suitable advice: "I think you need to investigate thoroughly whether Jian Yu stole the ruby necklace that caused her to run away from home."
If the investigation proves that Jian Yu stole it, then it means that Jian Yu is indeed not innocent.
She has only herself to blame for the current situation.
If it has nothing to do with Jian Yu, then how much perjury has Yu Yao, as a witness, committed over the years...?
Was Jian Yu always framed?
Was Yu Yao the one who framed her?
If so, why did Yu Yao do that?
Yu Cheng wanted to agree to Prime Minister Ou's proposal, but a voice inside him told him to refuse.
Silence filled the video. Ou Xiang could see Yu Cheng's dilemma. "If you don't want to, then forget it."
Yu Cheng remained silent.
If they agree to the investigation, it means they suspect Yu Yao.
Yu Cheng felt that this was wrong. He had watched his younger sister grow up since she was a child, and he actually suspected her and was even preparing to have someone investigate her.
How heartbroken I would be if she found out!
"Let me think about it!"
Prime Minister Ou nodded, "Okay."
Yu Cheng defended his actions, saying, "I kindly helped Jian Yu find a caregiver and even fired Zhang Xiaoling for neglecting her, yet she still doesn't appreciate it."
Ou Xiangdao said, "That is indeed excessive."
The two exchanged a few more words before hanging up.
Hospital...
Not long after Yu Cheng left, the old lady who had fainted was brought back. The old lady's daughter had gone to work and stayed at home that night. The hospital had just notified her, but before she had even left the community, she was told that she didn't need to go there anymore.
The old lady was helped to bed by the nurse and was groaning weakly.
Another elderly woman asked the nurse curiously, "What's wrong with her?"
The nurse, still shaken, said, "It's nothing. I was probably a little nervous because I ran into someone in the corridor last night. The patient just insisted that we tell his family not to come over, otherwise he would have been brought back already."
The old woman who asked the question chuckled and said, "You don't know this, do you? She slandered the girl in front of her relatives and friends, and was so afraid of being sued that she fainted."
The old lady who asked the question had been hiding in the ward and had watched the whole commotion.
Jian Yu was later awakened by the sound of Yu Cheng and Qi Yuexi arguing.
After Yu Cheng left, the old lady kept asking Jian Yu for a long time, but Jian Yu kept his mouth shut and didn't find out anything.
However, she couldn't help herself and told Jian Yu everything she had overheard.
Jian Yu didn't react much after hearing this, and pulled the blanket up to continue sleeping.
The old lady was extremely anxious, eagerly waiting for the nurse to bring the person back.
As soon as it was brought back, I couldn't help but gossip to the nurse.
The old lady lying in the hospital bed was shocked to find her behavior had been discovered. Feeling deeply embarrassed, she sat up abruptly and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! I'll sue you!"
To everyone's surprise, the other party was no pushover either, saying, "Go ahead and sue me if you dare! Take the hallway security camera footage and sue me!"
The old lady got angry when the corridor surveillance cameras were mentioned and tried to retaliate, but the nurse yelled at her to shut her up.
"Quiet down!"
The nurse's change of expression was so fast that the two old ladies didn't dare to provoke her and quickly drew their curtains shut.
The nurse glared at the two beds, then slammed the door shut in a huff. "You're sick!"
A little while later, just as the old ladies were getting sleepy, the nurse pushed the door open again and announced loudly, "Bed 58, blood pressure taken."
Hearing "58," Jian Yu groggily opened her eyes.
The nurse pulled back the curtain and came in, gently took her arm, strapped on the blood pressure monitor, and began measuring her blood pressure.
After a few days in the hospital, the nurses spoke very softly at night.
The nurses had never been so loud before. The old lady, who was pretending to faint, knew that the nurses were doing it on purpose, so she didn't dare to make a sound.
Another elderly woman peeked out from behind the curtain. "Nurse, why are we taking blood pressure at night?"
The nurse glanced at her. "Quiet!"
After putting away the blood pressure monitor and helping Jian Yu close the curtain, the nurse turned off the lights and left.
"Are the nurses angry because you were bothering them earlier? Did you deliberately disturb our sleep?"
Although the two had just had an argument, it didn't stop them from continuing to chat.
“We’re old and need less sleep, so it’s hard for us to fall back asleep if we’re woken up. She did it on purpose.”
"There's nothing we can do if it was intentional. It's your own fault for scaring them just now."
"This is outrageous! We should complain to the management about them."
"There's a suggestion box at the end of the corridor. Go and write a complaint letter."
Why aren't you writing?
"Didn't you want to file a complaint?"
"You said it, didn't you?"
Jian Yu already had a headache, and hearing the two arguing made her feel even worse. Just as she was about to shout to tell them to shut up, the door creaked open...
The nurse is here!
Jian Yu instantly felt at ease, closed her eyes, and prepared to sleep.
The two old ladies also quieted down.
The nurse walked in and said sternly, "Quiet!"
The old ladies didn't dare to say a word. The nurse waited for a while before closing the door.
The two old ladies secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Jian Yu felt her mouth was unbearably dry, so she got up to drink some water. Just as she lay back down, the curtain was pulled open again.
The old woman, still harboring ulterior motives, fawned, "Young lady, could you give me that guy's phone number?"
"I think you need me to pull up the corridor surveillance footage and go to the police station again."
Already feeling unwell and unable to rest, Jian Yu had lost all patience with the old woman.
Staring at Jian Yu's sharp gaze, the old lady felt a chill run down her spine for some reason, and muttered under her breath, "Why does it feel different from before?"
Jian Yu snatched the curtain and pulled it back, saying, "Don't bother me anymore!"
