Now that we've finished our small talk, let's get down to business.
The uncle looked haggard and kept sighing. What would become of his nephew in the future...?
Yanling knew what he was worried about, but since things had already come to this, being sad wouldn't change the outcome.
He couldn't accept the outcome, but he couldn't bring himself to commit suicide. Besides facing it calmly, he didn't know what else he could do.
The uncle didn't leave that night. He told Jiang Xin to go back and rest, and that he would stay with her at the bedside.
Jiang Xin obediently went back to rest, and she was alone at home that night.
The doctor came to check on Yanling early the next morning. After examining Yanling's wound, he shook his head regretfully: "Make a decision as soon as possible. Your injury can't be delayed any longer."
"Doctor, is amputation absolutely necessary? How will he live without his leg?"
The uncle's voice trembled as he looked at the doctor with pleading eyes.
The doctor said, "I understand how you family members feel, but the patient's condition is not optimistic."
His voice was gentle, but it sounded cruel to his uncle.
Finally, Yanling broke the deadlock by agreeing to the surgery.
Legs are not as important as life; only by living can there be hope.
The person who hit Yanling on the bicycle fled the scene. The street camera was deliberately damaged, and the person was wearing a mask and sunglasses, completely obscuring their face, so Yanling couldn't see what the person looked like at all.
The motorcycle also had a fake license plate, and the person in question remains at large.
Jiang Xin's 1 million yuan came in handy.
Yanling's hospital expenses were not low, including surgery fees, post-operative rehabilitation training, and the cost of installing a prosthesis, which added up to at least a million yuan.
Jiang Xin felt utterly powerless as she watched her daily expenses flow away like water.
She did the math: Yanling's post-operative nutrition costs, the need for a professional caregiver, and other miscellaneous expenses—1 million yuan was simply not enough.
With her jewelry gone and no job, Jiang Xin could only pin her hopes on Ye Beichen.
Jiang Xin went to Chenguang again, and this time she wasn't kicked out; Ye Beichen agreed to see her.
Jiang Xin's face had lost its former arrogance. She knew that her parents and Ye Beichen had treated her like a stranger.
"Miss Jiang, what can I do for you? Please make this brief."
Ye Beichen didn't want to see Jiang Xin, but she was standing right at the entrance of Chenguang. If someone with ulterior motives took a picture of her, it would cause another uproar.
Ever since the online revelation of Chenguang and Jiang Xin's relationship, Ye Beichen realized the power of the internet, and he couldn't let himself and Chenguang get caught up in the vortex of public opinion.
Jiang Xin said softly, "I want to borrow money."
"Borrow money? How will you pay it back?"
Ye Beichen's words stung Jiang Xin. Even if he no longer loved her, he was still her brother. How could he be so heartless to her?
"Brother, I really need this money. Yanling needs surgery, I, I..."
"Please be mindful of how you address me. Call me President Ye or Mr. Ye. I am not your brother. I only have one sister, Mingyue."
"If you're short on money for surgery, I suggest you apply for our Chenguang Relief Fund online. As for other things, I can't help you."
“Brother, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Tell Mom I’m willing to go home, as long as you’re willing to pay to save Yanling, I’m willing to go home and be Mom’s good daughter.”
Jiang Xin spoke incoherently.
Ye Beichen was amused by her words: "But our family doesn't welcome you. Jiang Xin, how come you still don't understand after all this time? The Ye family doesn't need you, so why do you think your family will let you go back? This world doesn't revolve around you."
"Also, I've told you many times not to come looking for me again. What? Now that you're in trouble, you think of the Ye family? Jiang Xin, have some self-respect. You know I won't help you, so why humiliate yourself?"
His words were harsh, each one piercing Jiang Xin's heart, making it difficult for her to breathe and causing her unbearable pain.
Jiang Xin never imagined that Ye Beichen, who had cherished her in her past life, could say such cruel things.
She didn't want to stay in this world anymore; she wanted to go back, back to the world without the moon.
There, her parents doted on her, her brother doted on her, and she was the only daughter in the Ye family, so no one could shake her position in the Ye family.
She wanted to go home.
