But the doctor had no interest in listening to her arguments.
In the doctor's eyes, it's not important to determine whose responsibility it is; what's important is to quickly resettle the patient.
So the doctor completely ignored Tang Xiu'e and turned to instruct the nurse: "Quickly arrange another room for the patient!"
Jiang Yi, dressed in a hospital gown and also soaked to the bone, was being held by Gu Yanqing as they stood to the side.
The nurse quickly arranged a new ward, and Gu Yanqing carried Jiang Yi inside.
Tang Xiu'e couldn't swallow her anger. She glared at me fiercely, ready to curse again, but she was worried about Jiang Yi, so she could only go into the ward first.
Jiang Haiyang wiped the water off his face, pointed at me, and said through gritted teeth, "Jiang Wan, you just wait!"
I remained expressionless, showing no fear whatsoever.
Having achieved my original purpose, I should have left, but as I turned to leave, I remembered that I hadn't given the jewelry to that despicable couple yet.
I had no choice but to go back into the ward.
Jiang Yi had already changed into a dry hospital gown. When she saw me come in again, her eyes clearly sharpened, but perhaps because Gu Yanqing was present, she was noticeably more restrained today.
"Jiang Wan, what else do you want to do!" Tang Xiu'e came out of the bathroom and shouted at me.
Ignoring Tang Xiue's anger, I walked towards the adulterous couple and took out the jewelry: "Jiang Yi, congratulations on your marriage—you're finally marrying the man of your dreams. Your wish has been fulfilled, and you can die in peace."
"Jiang Wan!" Tang Xiu'e roared again.
But I'm telling the truth.
Jiang Yi's birthday wish when she turned eighteen was that she must marry Gu Yanqing in this life, otherwise she would rather die.
This could be considered a self-fulfilling prophecy.
But Jiang Yi wasn't angry at all, even though I used such harsh words.
She looked at me, her eyes brimming with tears, "Thank you, sister, thank you for giving Yanqing to me. I know you were very angry, that's why you did what you just did. I'm sorry, but I don't blame you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, tears streamed down her face; she looked exactly like Lin Daiyu.
I chuckled and said, "Jiang Yi, when you were little, you did all your evil deeds openly and honestly. How come you've learned to be hypocritical and pretend now? Are you afraid that your brother Yanqing won't like your viciousness?"
She still sounded aggrieved, "When I was little, I was ignorant, and you were so outstanding in everything, so I could only attract attention through some improper means... You would never understand what it's like to live under someone else's roof."
Tsk tsk!
I shook my head repeatedly, but I couldn't help but admire her!
With acting skills like this, it would be a waste not to win an Oscar for Best Actress.
From the moment she stepped into the Jiang family, she lived like a little princess, while I, the real princess of the Jiang family, could only be reduced to a maid and a punching bag.
Now she pitifully says—that she's living under someone else's roof?
I was too lazy to argue, so I just went along with what she said: "What you're saying makes me feel like all those years of beatings were for nothing. You don't understand what it's like to live under someone else's roof, but you know best what it's like to be dying."
"Jiang Wan, don't go too far!" Gu Yanqing reprimanded.
Jiang Haiyang also angrily retorted, "Jiang Wan, your sister is about to die, and you're still making fun of her! Be careful, you might be the next one to suffer!"
I turned to look at my scumbag father and slowly reminded him, "Don't curse me like that. If it really comes true, your precious little daughter won't have peace on her way to the underworld. Without your protection, she's no match for me."
"you--"
Seeing them speechless with anger, their faces red and necks thick, I snorted inwardly, bent down and placed the brocade box next to Jiang Yi, "Take it, your sweetheart has already paid for it."
Jiang Yi glanced at Gu Yanqing, whose face stiffened.
"When is the wedding scheduled?" I asked, feigning concern, assuming they would wait until Jiang Yi's condition stabilized before holding the ceremony.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Yi said softly, "It's your wedding with Brother Yanqing, only the bride is me..."
What?
I frowned, and instantly understood.
So they not only stole my groom, my wedding dress, and my jewelry, but they also wanted to steal my entire wedding?!
Seeing my reaction, Tang Xiu'e's face suddenly brightened, seemingly revealing a hint of smugness: "Your wedding with Yan Qing is all prepared, and the guest invitations have been sent out. It would be such a waste to cancel it. Why not use everything that's already in place? It'll save you time and effort."
I didn't say anything, but turned to look at Gu Yanqing, wanting to see his reaction.
This wedding was something I had meticulously planned and prepared for over six months.
From the overall wedding planning to the selection of wedding favors, to making the wedding dress by hand and flying abroad to choose wedding jewelry...
I've put in so much effort, only to have it all go to a green tea bitch?
Gu Yanqing looked at my angry eyes, his expression clearly guilty.
He stepped forward, trying to hold my hand, but I pushed him away.
“Xiao Wan… I’m sorry, I know you’ve put a lot of effort into this wedding, but that’s precisely why it can’t be wasted—besides, Jiang Yi is your sister, you’re family, giving this wedding to her is also a way of…”
Perhaps because my expression was too unpleasant, Gu Yanqing's tone of voice disappeared as he spoke.
I clenched my fists, barely suppressing the urge to slap him, and sneered, "So what? Why let the good stuff go to outsiders?"
