"What are you afraid of? You're injured, isn't it only natural for your brother to care about you?" Yi Laosan grinned lewdly, deliberately leaning close to her ear and whispering, "I have some band-aids in my room, do you want to come in and I'll put one on for you?"
Kang Yan nervously pushed him away, glanced around to make sure no one was watching, and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
She immediately warned, "If you continue to act so recklessly, I will never speak to you again."
Seeing the intense displeasure on her charming face, Yi Laosan knew he couldn't go too far.
"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll take good care of you next time."
He spoke in a flippant manner, but outwardly maintained a distant attitude, brushing past her.
As soon as he left, Kang Yan also slipped away.
...
For several days in a row, Kang Yan was treated like an old ox by the old lady. She didn't get any information she wanted to get, but she suffered a lot.
She became visibly haggard, with dark circles appearing under her eyes, and her previous elegant and noble demeanor was nowhere to be seen.
"I quit." When the Yi family gathered privately, she finally swallowed her pride and resigned.
"What are you being so willful about again?" Old Master Yi said impatiently, even with a hint of resentment. "You can't even do this little thing right. Why don't you learn from Dr. Lan and make the old lady smile? If in the end all the benefits go to an outsider like her, are you willing to accept that?"
"You blame me? And you want me to imitate that little bitch and fawn over the old man?" Kang Yan was furious. She had suffered so much these past few days. Who was she enduring it for?
"You bastard Yi Laosi, is taking care of that old hag all my responsibility? I'm just her daughter-in-law, why should I do so much for her? You do nothing and still have the nerve to criticize me. Who gave you that right?"
"You bastard!"
Kang Yan could act all high and mighty as he pleased normally, but in front of his brother, he didn't give him any face at all.
Yi Laosi felt that his male authority and dignity had been challenged.
Enraged, he raised his hand to slap her.
"Hey, hey, fourth brother—" Third Brother Yi rushed up to stop him, "Calm down! It's okay to be angry, but don't hit people! Fourth sister-in-law has had a hard time too, you know that. That old man is just deliberately making things difficult for us, he has no intention of handing over the shares. Testing him is useless!"
Yi Lao Si's face darkened: "Third Brother, this is my family matter, don't interfere."
Kang Yan's eyes reddened, and she was seething with anger. "You, Yi Laosi, you want to hit me? Go ahead and hit me if you dare! Do you really think I'm a pushover?"
Yi Laosi gritted his teeth: "Kang Yan, have I been too kind to you?"
"What are you being so arrogant about? You spineless man, all you do is take your anger out on your women. What kind of man are you?" Kang Yan became angrier and angrier, and she scratched his face with her fingernails like a madwoman.
Yi Lao Si hissed in pain, unable to bear it any longer. He shoved Yi Lao San aside and started tearing at Kang Yan.
The scene quickly descended into chaos.
Even though Yi Laosan wanted to help, he couldn't manage it all and was indirectly slapped in the face.
As for Yi Hai, he suffered such a huge loss recently and was depressed, so he didn't want to pay any attention to it.
Liu Ruyi quietly huddled in the corner, watching other couples argue, and reflecting on her own and her husband's current strained relationship, she felt only irony.
Finally, the farce was stopped by Boss Yi's angry shout, "Enough! If you make a scene again, get out of here. Don't take a single penny of the old woman's property."
These words had a very powerful deterrent effect.
The entire room fell silent for a moment.
Yi Laosi and Kang Yan were still tearing each other apart, one grabbing the other's scalp and the other pinching the other's face.
"Don't forget what our ultimate goal is. Losing our composure here will only embolden the enemy."
With Yi Laoda's reminder, everyone realized what was happening.
Their goal is the old woman's property and shares! And now there is a formidable adversary, that doctor surnamed Lan.
If we only focus on the present and engage in internal strife, it will only embolden the other side.
Thinking of all the humiliation she had suffered these past few days, Kang Yan gritted her teeth, shoved Yi Lao Si away, and said through gritted teeth, "I will definitely make that brat back down."
Although she could no longer harm Old Madam Yi, dealing with a little girl was a piece of cake.
That evening, Kang Yan returned to the Yi family's old house carrying a small black bag. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she quietly went upstairs and entered Yi Tianran's room.
She walked to the bedside, pulled back the covers, poured the contents of the bag into the blankets, quickly closed the covers, and slipped out silently.
The whole process was done furtively. Having achieved her goal, she walked out triumphantly, waiting to see the results.
That night, the Yi family gathered together for dinner.
After chatting with the old lady for half an hour, Yi Tianran returned to the next room.
As soon as she opened the door, she noticed something was amiss.
A small piece of paper that she had tucked under the door has disappeared.
After all, she was living under the same roof as the Yi family, a bunch of wolves and tigers. Yi Tianran knew that they would never behave themselves and would use any underhanded tricks they could think of.
Not to mention sneaking into someone else's room and rummaging through it.
Now it seems she was right after all.
—Someone has been here.
Yi Tianran's eyes turned cold as she cautiously entered the room. After scanning her surroundings, she walked slowly to the computer.
I turned on the screen, quickly operated it a couple of times, and the monitoring screen came into view.
No one came in between 3 and 6 o'clock.
At 8:22 p.m., Kang Yan sneaked into her room, carrying a black bag, and walked to the bedside...
When Yi Tianran saw what was in the bag, her pupils contracted sharply, and she stood up abruptly, her face cold and grim.
She never expected that Kang Yan would put two dead rats in her bed, and they were bloody clumps, which she deliberately covered with a pillow.
If she hadn't been alert beforehand, or if she had been too tired at night and had simply fallen asleep in bed, she might have inadvertently touched the corpses of those two dead rats...
Even if Yi Tianran had the strongest heart, she would be so disgusted that she wouldn't be able to speak.
“Kang, Yan!” she gritted her teeth and squeezed out the name from her throat.
This woman would do something like this to get back at her.
For a moment, she wished she could rush into Kang Yan's room and throw those two dead rats in her face.
But after thinking about it, I still feel disgusted.
She didn't even want to touch the dead rat's corpse.
But it wasn't Yi Tianran's style to just swallow this insult.
