Zhang Weimin's face darkened, and he shook his head: "It's the same as always. The doctor said... it all depends on fate."
Upon hearing this, Shi Fangfang's smile immediately faded.
She quickly pulled Zhang Weimin to the corner of the corridor...
Coincidentally, Ye Nian'an also arrived at the hospital.
As per the previous agreement with Liu Tingting, I have been prescribing traditional Chinese medicine for her to recuperate.
It has the magical effects of the spiritual spring water, plus a few strands of the thousand-year-old ginseng that it has cultivated, combined with the prescription given by Ye Nian'an.
Liu Tingting's complexion has improved a lot recently.
But this is just the beginning.
You should know that Liu Tingting was someone who had one foot in the grave before.
It will take some time before we can see noticeable results from this treatment.
As a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who inherited his grandfather's mantle, Ye Nian'an would naturally do his best since he had promised Liu Tingting.
The hospital was filled with a unique smell of disinfectant, mixed with a faint scent of herbs.
The corridor was bustling with people, their footsteps hurried and chaotic. Doctors and nurses in white coats rushed about, while most of the patients' family members wore worried expressions.
Ye Nian'an was holding the freshly prescribed medicinal herbs, preparing to leave.
A sharp, piercing argument, like an icicle, pierced through the tranquility of the hospital from the end of the inpatient corridor.
"...He's practically a living dead man! That little bastard Tang Jiang is in a vegetative state too! The medical bills are going up like water every day! What more do you want from me? Does my Bingbing not need money for school in the future?!"
Ye Nian'an's steps suddenly stopped.
That voice... it's Shi Fangfang!
She instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and saw Shi Fangfang, her face flushed, pointing at a man and cursing loudly at him from around the corner not far away.
The man, Zhang Weimin, was so humiliated by the scolding that he couldn't even lift his head.
And standing next to them was a woman.
Wearing a faded old cotton-padded jacket, her figure was as thin as a withered leaf that could be blown away by the wind at any moment; her face was haggard, and her eyes were sunken.
Who else could it be but Shen Xiang?
Ye Nian'an raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes.
It's true what they say, you never know where you'll meet someone in life.
She decided not to leave anytime soon. Instead, she leisurely crossed her arms, leaned against a pillar, and openly began eavesdropping.
This is a free show, why not watch it?
Shi Fangfang was clearly furious; she was spitting so hard she almost landed on Zhang Weimin's face.
"Let me tell you, Zhang Weimin, your brother is in a coma, and we'll pay for his medical expenses. I accept that, after all, he's your own brother!"
"But what about that Tang Jiang? He has no relation to our Zhang family! He's Shen Xiang's own son, why should our Zhang family go bankrupt to support him?"
"She's a jinx! Ever since she brought that burden into our family, has the Zhang family had a single good day?!"
"Your brother is crippled and in a coma, Qingqing has gone insane, your mother-in-law is in jail, and your father is paralyzed... How can we possibly live like this?!"
Her voice was high-pitched and loud, attracting curious glances from many people in the corridor.
Zhang Weimin's face turned pale and then red as he was scolded, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
Shen Xiang trembled all over, biting her lower lip so hard it almost bled.
All her dignity and pride had long been crushed under the heavy pressure of reality and endless curses.
Just then, Shen Xiang turned her head and suddenly saw Ye Nian'an standing not far away.
Ye Nian'an was wearing a trendy camel-colored wool coat, which accentuated her tall and slender figure.
The white cashmere scarf peeking out from her neckline made her small face look even more radiant, with a healthy glow that seemed almost divine.
She stood there quietly, her eyes cool and aloof, her demeanor ethereal, completely out of place amidst the chaos, disarray, and despair of the place.
The stark contrast between heaven and hell was like a steel needle coated with deadly poison, piercing deep into Shen Xiang's heart.
On what grounds?!
Why is it that Ye Nian'an's life gets better and better, and she shines so brightly?
And yet here I am, subjected to being ridiculed, humiliated, and tormented like a dog?!
A surge of resentment and hatred, mixed with the flames of jealousy, instantly shattered Shen Xiang's last line of rational defense.
Like a mother beast driven to the brink of despair, with bloodshot eyes, she roared and charged at Ye Nian'an like a madwoman!
"Ye Nian'an! It's you! It's all your fault, you bitch!"
Shen Xiang acted as if she had gone mad, her fingernails like sharp claws, aiming straight for Ye Nian'an's face.
"You jinx! You must be the one who brought us bad luck! You stole all the Zhang family's fortune! Otherwise, how could Weiguo and Jiang'er have gotten into trouble! Give us back our good fortune!"
Heh~
Ye Nian'an's lips curled into a cold smile.
Do you still want to pin the blame on yourself?
You want a slap, don't you!
Just as Ye Nian'an was thinking of stretching his muscles and giving Shen Xiang a good beating,
"Sister-in-law, be careful!"
An urgent male voice rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a tall figure appeared in front of Ye Nian'an like lightning.
It's Xu Yao!
He appeared there without anyone noticing, and with lightning speed, grabbed Shen Xiang's wrist, forcefully jerked it away, and said in a deep voice, "What do you think you're doing, you crazy woman?!"
Shen Xiang was thrown off balance by him and almost fell.
She looked up and met Xu Yao's cold and disgusted gaze. She panicked and her arrogance immediately diminished.
Ye Nian'an stepped out from behind Xu Yao, patted his arm to indicate that she was alright, and then sneered.
"I'm your nemesis? Shen Xiang, I think you've gone into a vegetative state too?"
She took a step forward, her eyes as cold as frost, her tone flat yet every word piercing: "Zhang Weiguo is depressed and unwilling to wake up; that's his own cowardice and incompetence, he deserves it!"
"Tang Jiang was hit by a car while jaywalking. He stole first, and his morals were corrupt, so he got his comeuppance!"
"you!"
Shen Xiang was rendered speechless by her words, her face turning a deep purplish-red, and her hand pointing at Ye Nian'an trembled as if she had Parkinson's disease.
"What do you mean, 'me'?"
Ye Nian'an crossed her arms, looking down at her with a sarcastic smile.
"I'll tell you one more time: the Zhang family's current predicament is entirely their own doing!"
“Li Dahong practiced feudal superstition and tried to harm my child with insidious methods. Now that he is behind bars, he deserves it!”
"Zhang Qingqing is wicked and always thinking of taking shortcuts. Now she's gone crazy because she failed the political review. She only has herself to blame!"
"As for you..."
Ye Nian'an's gaze fell on Shen Xiang as if she were looking at a pile of inorganic garbage.
"You brought a bastard child to live in someone else's house, comfortably sucking the blood of the Zhang family, and eventually dragging this family down with you."
"Now that karma has come back to bite you, you're trying to throw mud at me?"
"That's an absolute joke!"
