Outside the operating room.
Gu Wan’an looked at the green indicator light and wriggled her hands together as she waited nervously.
Every minute felt unbearably long and torturous.
Three hours later.
The green indicator light turned red; the surgery was over.
The door to the operating room opened. Professor Chen took off his mask and walked out.
“Professor Chen, how is my aunt?” Gu Wan’an quickly went up to greet him.
“Sigh…” Professor Chen sighed softly. “Discontinued medication, coupled with a sudden cerebral hemorrhage… Although the blood clot that pressed down on the nerves has been removed, the brain is unresponsive and has entered a vegetative state. It’s hard to say whether she will wake up in the future. You have to be mentally prepared.”
The stimulation was too great. Gu Wan’an’s vision turned black, and her body fell to the side uncontrollably.
Professor Chen was quick to react and quickly supported her.
“I’m fine…” Gu Wan’an shook her head and forced herself to calm down. “Professor Chen, about the discontinued medication, may I ask what’s going on? Is it because my aunt has developed an aversion to the imported medicine, or is there another reason?”
“There was no rejection, and the absorption was quite good. The medical expenses were suddenly cut off, so the medicine was stopped.”
Hearing this, Gu Wan’an’s expression changed instantly. “The medical fees have been cut off?”
“It was cut off five days ago. The nurse wanted to call you, but your aunt refused to let her.” Professor Chen was full of doubts.
“Has anyone visited the hospital in the past two days?” She secretly clenched her fists and asked.
“The nurse said that a girl who looked exactly like you came by, like twins-”
Before Professor Chen could finish his sentence, he felt a gust of wind blow past him. The girl who was standing in front of him had disappeared without a trace.
Gu Wan’an headed straight for the Shen family.
Outside the carved iron gate, she was stopped by the guard.
“Get Shen Ziqing out here.” She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.
“Our young miss is not seeing anyone today. Please go back.”
“Haha…” Gu Wan’an sneered and dialed Shen Ziqing’s number. “Three seconds. Get out here, or you’ll have to bear the consequences.”
Shen Ziqing’s lazy voice came from the other end of the phone. “It’s too hot outside. You come in.”
This time, there was no obstruction outside the door.
Gu Wan’an had been to the Shen family’s house before, so she walked to the living room of the Shen family’s house with familiarity.
As soon as she stepped in, Shen Ziqing’s sarcastic voice reached her ears. “Really, a poor country bumpkin, you have no manners at all. Don’t you know how to change your shoes? The carpet cost 80,000 yuan (-12,000 dollars). Can you afford to compensate for the dirt?”
Gu Wan’an turned around.
Shen Ziqing was standing behind her with a condescending face. Her makeup was exquisite, and she was wearing a white dress.
She went straight to the point and asked, “Who told you to stop paying for my aunt’s medical fees? You or Lin Lanfang?”
“I decided.”
Shen Ziqing sipped her coffee elegantly with a mocking light in her eyes. “Previously, I asked you to marry into the Gong family in my stead and we paid for your aunt’s medical expenses. Now that I’m back, I don’t need you to stay with the Gong family in my stead, so we naturally don’t need to pay anymore.”
“Our Shen family’s money doesn’t come out of thin air. Also, we won’t help you find a kidney anymore.”
Gu Wan’an wanted to rip her face off. She gritted her teeth and said, “Shen Ziqing, do you have no shame? Are you still a human being?!”
Shen Ziqing chuckled and spread out her hands, full of innocence, “How am I not human? I’ve paid you for every day you’ve taken over.. What’s wrong with that?”
