Chapter 281 Qin Lanlan's End
Jiang Ruzhen felt somewhat dazed when she heard Qin Lanlan's name again.
After a long pause, she said, "Go, see what she has to say."
The second son wanted to go with her, but Jiang Ruzhen shook her head and insisted on going by herself.
When Jiang Ruzhen arrived outside the intensive care unit, she saw Qin Lanlan inside through the door. Qin Lanlan was covered in tubes and wrapped up like a mummy, looking extremely pitiful.
Inside, a nurse was giving her an IV drip. The needle was stuck in her hand, but she seemed not to feel the pain, her eyes fixed on the ceiling.
Jiang Ruzhen pushed open the door and entered. The nurse glanced at her and asked curiously.
Who are you?
"I am Qin Lanlan's former adoptive mother. How is she now?"
"Her condition isn't good; she might not make it to tomorrow," the nurse said with a sigh.
"That's great, the scourge is finally going to die." Jiang Ruzhen said sarcastically.
The nurse was taken aback by what she heard. She looked at Jiang Ruzhen, then at Qin Lanlan, who was lying motionless on the hospital bed, and asked uncertainly.
"Are you really her adoptive mother?"
"It's the real deal, but this adopted daughter tried to harm my daughter, steal her university spot, and even poison our whole family, which is why I broke off all ties with her."
"But now that she's dying, I've come to see her one last time," Jiang Ruzhen said casually.
The nurse was shocked as she listened, her eyes widening as she looked at Jiang Ruzhen and then at Qin Lanlan.
"What?! There really are such heartless beasts in this world?"
However, she no longer looked at Qin Lanlan with the same sympathy as before, but instead with utter disgust.
After the IV drip was started, the drip rate was not adjusted, and the medicine was allowed to fall rapidly.
Seeing the nurse about to leave, Jiang Ruzhen pretended to be curious and asked.
"Excuse me, why is she so badly injured? Is it true that she killed someone?"
Upon hearing this, the nurse's gossipy nature was ignited, and she started chattering away.
"Yes, that's what we heard. This woman is truly vicious; she not only burned her own husband to death, but also burned several old men who were drinking with her at her house yesterday."
I heard the crime scene was horrific; the guys in hats all vomited when they rushed in. The smell of burning at the scene, combined with the stench inside the house, was unbearable.
When they rescued this woman, she was laughing maniacally, saying these people deserved to die. Don't you think she was incredibly vicious?
"Yes, indeed." Jiang Ruzhen nodded repeatedly without expression.
"However, I also heard a rumor, I don't know if it's true or not. Everyone is saying that Qin Lanlan was driven crazy by her husband."
Moreover, in private, her husband treated her like a prostitute, letting old men take turns abusing her for money.
Qin Lanlan chose to die with them because she could no longer bear the humiliation.
Seeing the nurse's innocent and curious eyes, Jiang Ruzhen shook her head earnestly, defending Old Hu.
"I know Old Hu, he's not that kind of person. Although he's a bit old, he dotes on me, his adopted daughter, without any limits."
It's an older man and a younger woman relationship, so he usually just lets her lie around at home and doesn't let her do any chores. Tell me, how many men in this world treat their wives this well?
As a result, she wasn't satisfied and kept flirting with other women, cheating on Old Hu with her. If I were Old Hu, I would have beaten that woman to death long ago. How could she have gotten herself killed?
Seeing how convincingly Jiang Ruzhen spoke, the young nurse's entire worldview collapsed, and she couldn't hide the shock and disdain on her face.
"So Qin Lanlan is this wicked? How did you know?"
"I'm a kind-hearted person. Even though she almost killed me, I still don't trust her. Once, I saw her go to a hotel with a man, and I wanted to warn her not to go too far."
Then I saw her whipping her husband mercilessly, and the old man screamed terribly...
I tried to persuade her a few times, but she kicked me out. It's like a dog biting Lü Dongbin – she doesn't appreciate a kind heart at all…
Jiang Ruzhen spoke eloquently, and the young nurse listened attentively.
The "truth" was so shocking that she was so disoriented when she went out that she almost twisted her ankle.
As Jiang Ruzhen watched the young nurse leave, she quickly plunged into the group of nurses and began recounting the shocking facts she had heard.
The nurses were also startled and started pointing and whispering about Qin Lanlan's ward.
Jiang Ruzhen smiled.
Qin Lanlan is utterly wicked and extremely vicious.
How could someone still receive sympathy on their deathbed?
Does she deserve it?
Even though she was dying, Jiang Ruzhen would absolutely not allow anyone to pity her or make it easy for her to take care of her.
Having achieved her goal, Jiang Ruzhen finally had the peace of mind to turn around and look at Qin Lanlan on the hospital bed.
Qin Lanlan stared blankly at Jiang Ruzhen for a long time before recognizing her.
She suddenly became very emotional, opened her mouth as if to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.
She waved her hands, trying to get up, but couldn't move.
The needle was twisted and bleeding, and the tubes on her body were torn and messy.
"Hehe...hehe...Mom...Mom...hehe..."
No matter how Qin Lanlan called out to her, Jiang Ruzhen stood at a distance and coldly watched Qin Lanlan make a fuss.
Finally, Qin Lanlan was exhausted from all the commotion. She lay on the bed with her eyes wide open, staring at Jiang Ruzhen through the large, charred holes in them, tears streaming down her face.
The nurses were finally alerted and filed in, following the sound.
They saw that Qin Lanlan had tormented herself beyond recognition, with the tubes on her body torn to shreds and the gauze ripped to shreds.
In some places, blood is still seeping out.
"Oh my god, what happened?"
"This is insane! I just changed your dressing, and now I have to change it again."
"You're about to die, can't you just behave for a while?"
The nurses were furious. Bandaging burn victims was already difficult enough, and now the patient was being so uncooperative. They all had to redo their work.
The nurse turned to Jiang Ruzhen and asked, "What happened to her?"
Jiang Ruzhen shook her head, "I didn't even get close before she suddenly went crazy."
Seeing Jiang Ruzhen standing at the door, the nurse couldn't say anything.
"Hurry up, everyone, let's finish bandaging her up quickly, we have other things to do."
"Should we give her another injection of anti-inflammatory and analgesic medication?" some nurses asked.
Jiang Ruzhen quickly replied, "No need. I guess she got angry just now because of the IV drip. It must be because the injection was uncomfortable."
"Honestly, if you feel uncomfortable during the injection, just say so. Why make such a fuss?"
The nurses were all criticizing Qin Lanlan, but their hands kept tearing at the gauze. One of the nurses turned around to look at Jiang Ruzhen.
"It will cost another two hundred yuan to change her dressing. Family member, please go and pay it."
Jiang Ruzhen raised an eyebrow. "I have nothing to do with her, and I don't have the money to pay for her. Actually, I just came to see if she was dead or not. After she passes away, please let me know so I can collect her body."
The young nurse also tried to explain on Jiang Ruzhen's behalf. The other nurses who came with her were even more furious after learning about Qin Lanlan's misdeeds.
The men under their hands impatiently tore at the cloth with even more force.
They didn't give her painkillers, and they were too rough with her. During the dressing change, Qin Lanlan was tormented and screamed in pain.
But her throat was choked and she couldn't make a sound, only able to scream pitifully, her veins throbbing.
Jiang Ruzhen watched with great interest, arms crossed.
