In Chapter 74, Sheng Wan learned that she had not given birth to twins.
Before the two arrived were Zhong Yan's bodyguards and the Ji family's bodyguards.
Don't be fooled by Zhong Yan's usual neat and tidy appearance, where he's always accompanied by Chu He, and sometimes Liang Zhufu. He's never without bodyguards in the shadows.
The hospital was operating smoothly and orderly, and all information was kept secret from the outside world.
Otherwise, such a grand spectacle would have become the talk of the town during this year's Spring Festival.
In the hospital
Sheng Wan lay on the hospital bed, still unconscious, when Ji Tanyuan ran to the door but was stopped. "Miss, you can't go in yet."
Ji Tanyuan looked at the caregiver and doctor who had been looking after her mother and asked in a trembling voice, "I told you to keep an eye on her, how did you do it?"
The attending physician put down his hand and sighed: "Madam is usually easy to talk to, but there are some things that no one can stop her from doing. I don't know who leaked the information to Madam, but she found out that her son is still alive, and that's how she ended up like this."
Even though he's over fifty, his driving skills are still top-notch, and no one can catch up with him.
Zhong Yan was on the phone in the distance, while Ji Tanyuan was sitting in the hospital's arranged lounge, also calling her father's assistant to arrange for public relations to block the news and to notify the lawyers and others.
Today, her parents were admitted to the hospital at the same time, along with her brother, whose biological identity is unknown.
Zhong Yan entered the room and squatted down in front of her. "She's out of danger now. She's under observation, and we can visit her later."
"Dad had a concussion and a broken rib, Mom had a broken leg, and the other one had two broken ribs and both arms broken."
Ji Zhihe almost broke his cervical spine, which could have killed him instantly. This shows that Sheng Wan hit him with the force that would kill someone.
"Where's the driver? The driver in Dad's car?" Ji Tanyuan asked.
"It was just a minor abrasion." That shows how amazing his mother-in-law is; she's also a skilled driver.
"Doctor, I've arranged for orthopedic and neurosurgery specialists to treat you clinically. I've also blocked the news. But traffic accidents can't be hidden from the police and traffic police, just like they can't be hidden from the Shen family."
Ji Tanyuan looked up, her eyes red-rimmed, her voice choked with sobs, "They both had accidents at the same time, and then they abandoned me."
She raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eye, took a deep breath, and went to the other end to make a phone call.
Zhong Yan stepped forward and grabbed her arm. "Leave it to me. You just need to manage your emotions and wait for your parents to wake up so you can take care of the family matters and wait for your aunt to come back."
Ji Tanyuan refused without hesitation, "No need."
Zhong Yan pulled her into his arms and ruffled her hair:
“Wife, we’re in the same boat now. Your father arranged this marriage between you and me precisely to counter the Shen family right now. I don’t want to see your Ji family in trouble either. You can completely trust me on this matter.”
Ji Tanyuan remained silent in his arms for a long time before finally raising her arms to wrap around the man's waist. "Thank you."
Zhong Yan lowered his head and nuzzled Ji Tanyuan's head with his chin. "It's my duty."

Sheng Wan had a dream, and she returned to twenty-three years ago.
On the day of delivery
Ji Qing encountered unexpected weather on his way there and was stuck in traffic.
Fortunately, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law came to keep me company, and the family was relatively harmonious at that time.
Sheng Wan was very grateful to her sister-in-law, Tian Ruomei, for taking care of everything and running around taking care of everything.
She was delivered via cesarean section and was unconscious for a period of time. When she woke up, she was given a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.
"Twins!" Sheng Wan exclaimed in surprise, as her prenatal checkup had clearly shown a single pregnancy.
The medical team explained that at 12 weeks of pregnancy, it was indeed a single live fetus in the uterus. At 20 weeks of pregnancy, one fetus might be located behind the other fetus and completely obscured. The heartbeats of the two fetuses might also be mistaken for the strong heartbeat of one fetus during auscultation.
Therefore, multiple coincidences may lead to the twins going undetected, especially for monochorionic disamchosome twins, which share a placenta, making it easy to conceal the location of the fetuses.
This situation, while rare, is not impossible.
At the time, everyone was immersed in the joy of the twins. Although Sheng Wan felt it was too dramatic, she gradually felt relieved as she looked at her frail brother and her chubby, fair-skinned sister, who began to resemble each other over time.
Ten years later
The eldest son of the Ji family was greedy by nature, and their relationship gradually deteriorated. Ji Qing was used to playing peacemaker, and Sheng Wan was holding her breath for a long time.
In particular, Ji Zhihe has become increasingly eccentric as he grows up. He talks about how he will inherit the Ji family business every day. She has emphasized several times that he and his sister are both qualified, but Ji Zhihe has heard from someone that his sister is a girl and cannot even be included in the family genealogy, so she is an outsider.
This really infuriated Sheng Wan.
She knew what was going on. The Ji family always looked down on Huanghuang, treating her as a daughter who only needed to be pampered and not allowed to participate in the family inheritance.
But she loved both her sons equally, and if her son was misled by someone's words, she would correct him later.
But Ji Ting, the eldest son of the Ji family, was eager to encourage Ji Zhihe, especially at the two children's 10th birthday party, where he shamelessly declared that the group would belong to Ji Zhihe in the future.
Ji Tanyuan sat next to him, her eyes wide open, watching a group of men and women surrounding her brother.
Sheng Wan was very upset at the time, but there was nothing she could do. Ji Zhihe was also her child, and she constantly reminded herself of that.
"I can't blame the child," Sheng Wan began to hate her husband, Ji Qing.
She believed that Ji Qing's silence was tacit agreement, which was true. He valued the clan most and had some feudalistic tendencies in his bones. He believed that sons should inherit the family business and daughters should be "pampered".
She began to get more and more caught up in her own thoughts, worrying that her son would be tainted by the corrupt atmosphere of the Ji family, and that her daughter would be treated unfairly by her father in the future.
She couldn't help but feel anxious, so she started consulting a psychologist.
Back then, Huanghuang was such a good girl. The first thing he would do after school was to come see her, ask if she was feeling better, touch her face, tell her about her grades, share her happiness, and share her desserts.
Huanghuang was unaware of her mother's inner turmoil; she only knew that her mother was unhappy. She tried her best to make her mother happy, and even when her mother suddenly became distant, she assumed that she had done something wrong to upset her mother.
Ji Qing was busy with work, and when he realized something was wrong with his wife, he was shocked and stopped some of his work to spend time with her.
The psychologist said that the children occupied too much of her mind, and Ji Qing deliberately prevented the two children from seeing Sheng Wan in order to give her enough private time to recuperate.
Ji Qing didn't understand why Sheng Wan was depressed. He even guaranteed that the inheritance would be fair and that it could be handed over to a professional team so that Huang Huang would not suffer any harm from the preference for sons over daughters.
Despite his nice words, Sheng Wan didn't believe him. After more than ten years of marriage, their marriage was already in trouble. Sheng Wan harbored deep resentment towards her husband for his indulgence of the Ji family's eccentricities.
So, in order to fight for more for her daughter, she began to take legal action. To put her mind at ease, Ji Qing directly divided the shares and even separated many companies from the Ji family and transferred them all to Sheng Wan's name.
Just when everything was gradually returning to normal.
Sheng Wan learned that she had not given birth to twins.
