After Yang Xu left, An Shichun also put away the smile on her face that made her looked like a lovesick fool.
The door of the ward opened, and a middle-aged man in his thirties walked in. "Are you sure that person is my sister?"
An Shichun asked with a serious expression. Dr. Wu nodded, "I saw her once when I returned to China, I can't be mistaken."
An Shichun sneered, "No wonder I couldn't see her in China, she was brought to this place. It seems that An Ran is definitely not simple, otherwise how could she have this kind of ability."
Dr. Wu nodded, "This hospital is not something that anyone can enter. As far as I know, your sister's expenses have already reached one million, which is not something an ordinary family can afford."
"Fu Lengyu is really good to her." An Shichun gritted her teeth. "Can I see her?"
"This..." Dr. Wu hesitated, but An Shichun's small,soft hand was placed on the man's big hand, "Brother Wu, I know you have liked me since we were young. If you are willing to help me, I am willing to..."
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito, and Dr. Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, with a smile of determination on his lips. "Since you want it, I will do my best to help you."
...
"My good sister, why are you in the hospital? What happened?"
As soon as An Shichun entered the ward, she asked sharply. Although her words sounded nice, there was no trace of anxiety on her face.
Liu Ying was lying on the bed reading a book, with no family members around her. She was more focused on the book.
Seeing An Shichun, however, surprised her.
Due to her mother's illness, An Ran didn't tell her mother about the dirty things that An Shi Chun had done. Therefore, Liu Ying had no idea how much harm this woman had brought to her daughter. She still treated her as usual.
"Xiao Chun? What brings you here?" Liu Ying asked.
"I came to see you, my good niece had to sell herself for your treatment. No wonder!" An Shi Chun sat down on a chair next to the sickbed.
Liu Ying was surprised by An Shi Chun's visit and asked, "What did you say? Say it again."
"Haven't you heard me? I said An Ran sold herself to save you!" An Shi Chun replied.
"You're talking nonsense! An Shi Chun, even if your brother is gone, you can't make up stories about An Ran! You're her aunt!" Liu Ying retorted.
"Who made up stories? Then tell me, your family is bankrupt. How can you afford to stay in such a high-end hospital and such a luxurious ward?" An Shi Chun sneered.
"That's because An Ran married Fu Lengyu."
Liu Ying had no confidence in her words. Although she had doubts before, she gradually accepted An Ran's explanation later. In her eyes, An Ran was still a good person. But now, under An Shi Chun's insinuation, her belief began to waver.
"Oh, my good sister in law, I think you know something is wrong, don't you? When my brother was alive, our An family could barely enter the upper class. It was possible to marry into the Fu family. But now? Hmph." An Shi Chun said.
Yes! The upper class valued the match between families the most. Now that the An family was in trouble, how could they agree to let An Ran marry into the Fu family?
Liu Ying's hands tightly grasped the bedsheet, and the blue veins popped out on the back of her pure white hands.
"Ranran... Ranran..." Liu Ying's tears fell.
"Ranran is being a mistress for someone else!" An Shi Chun said, taking out her phone and showing Liu Ying a news article. "Look at this, it's so ugly."
The article she opened was the one she had fabricated toframe An Ran. Liu Ying didn't know, but looking at such dirty words on her daughter's name made her feel like a needle was piercing her heart, causing unbearable pain.
"No, this can't be true..."
"Why can't it be true? If she didn't sell herself, where would she get the money to treat you?"
"No, I don't want it, Ranran, my Ranran..."
Liu Ying cried bitterly, while An Shi Chun sat next to her, looking very pleased with herself.
"An Ran, you're pretending, aren't you? You said you were someone like Lin Ranyu, but now that your mother knows the truth, let's see if you can still pretend!"
...
Fu's house.
An Ran carefully walked up the stairs with the soup she had just made. With both hands holding the tray, she couldn't knock on the door, and she struggled to put the tray on one hand. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she found that the door wasn't closed tightly, and there was a small gap.
As she was about to go in, she heard Fu Lengyu's voice on the phone.
"When did it happen?"
"How is the person now? Is there any danger to their life?"
...
"Tell Osten to do everything possible to save them. I don't want possibilities, I want certainty!"
Crash!
The bowl of soup in An Ran's hand shattered on the ground. Osten, the name of her mother's attending physician. Could it be that her mother...something happened to her mother?
Fu Lengyu heard the commotion at the door and turned to see An Ran burst in like a madwoman.
"Fu Lengyu, is it my mother? Is it--" In just a moment, An Ran's eyes were already brimming with tears. Fu Lengyu stood up straight and looked coldly at the almost collapsing An Ran, as if he could easily send her to hell with a nod of his head.
Although he constantly wanted to torment her, in this moment, Fu Lengyu couldn't bring himself to do it as he looked into her eyes.
"Don't worry, she's being treated." Fu Lengyu uncharacteristically didn't provoke her.
An Ran heard the confirmation that it was her mother and her heart almost leapt out of her chest."I want to go to Sweden, I want to be with her."
"No, you're not a doctor. Going there won't help. Stay at home and I'll keep you updated."
"No, Fu Lengyu, I beg you."
Thump.
An Ran's knees gave out and she fell heavily to the ground.
Fu Lengyu tightened his grip on the phone in his hand--
"I beg you, Fu Lengyu. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have slept with you or answered your calls. I'm willing to take full responsibility for Lin Ranyu's death. Please, let me go be with my mother. When I come back, even if you continue to torment me, I won't complain..."
An Ran cried as she spoke, her big eyes filled with pain. But as soon as Fu Lengyu heard Lin Ranyu's name, he became angry.
He grabbed An Ran by the collar and lifted her off the ground, "You're responsible for this? What are you going to do about it? Huh? Even if you die ten thousand times, it won't make up for what happened to Ranyu!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry--"
An Ran could only repeat this sentence over and over again. Fu Lengyu threw An Ran back to the ground, looking at her like a pile of mud, feeling increasingly frustrated.
