The TV was broadcasting a brainstorming session.
Shen You’an shone brilliantly on the show.
In the second episode, she once again easily secured first place in the group. Even though Gu Bichen perford excellently, he still couldn’t overshadow the girl’s brilliance.
Watching the spirited girl on TV, her beauty was sothing even the simplistic cara couldn’t conceal.
Yu Ruohuan was so furious that she smashed the TV, then proceeded to destroy everything in the room she could, but the jealousy and hatred in her chest still couldn’t be quelled.
"Cough cough... I don’t want to drink it..."
Yu Ruohuan swatted away the bowl of dicine that the maid handed over, spilling the dark, murky Chinese dicine on the ground, staining the carpet.
The girl’s face was paler than a ghost’s, skeletal and emaciated, with sunken eye sockets, showing signs of terminal illness.
However, her eyes seed to burn with a fierce fire, as if ready to consu everything.
Those eyes stubbornly stared at the woman standing at the doorway, "I want to go out. You let out."
Wei Zhuhua looked at her with sadness in her eyes and shook her head.
"Why don’t you listen? Only by taking the dicine will the illness get better. Wherever you want to go, mom won’t stop you."
Wei Zhuhua waved her hand, instructing the maid, "Go and make another bowl of dicine for Miss."
The maid left the room.
Yu Ruohuan clenched her teeth with resentnt, "I’m not sick... cough cough..."
Wei Zhuhua looked at the increasingly frail body of the girl and softly said, "Stop deceiving yourself. If you don’t take your dicine, you will die."
Yu Ruohuan’s teeth bit her lower lip, large tears fell from her eyes, and she quickly tilted her head back to stop them from flowing down.
"I’m not sick. I’m perfectly fine. I can run and jump."
As if to prove her words, she stood up and started to jump, but suddenly her expression darkened, and she collapsed in pain.
Wei Zhuhua rushed forward to support her, preventing her from falling.
"Your character is too stubborn. What should I do with you?"
"I want to see Gu Bichen." Those tear-filled eyes looked pleadingly at Wei Zhuhua.
Wei Zhuhua sighed, "I’ll have him co over to see you, but this ti, you have to obediently take your dicine."
Her body had developed antibodies to the cancer drugs, and chemotherapy was not effective either. Helplessly, she watched her blossoming daughter wither away day by day.
By the doctor’s words, if she continues to neglect her body, she won’t have many days left.
The bitterness in Wei Zhuhua’s heart grew, as did her hatred toward the Yu family.
It was retribution for the sins committed by the Yu family.
She burned incense and prayed every day, but all to no avail.
Gu Bichen was led over by Wei Lai.
"Aunt Wei, how is Huanhuan’s health?" Gu Bichen expressed concern.
Wei Zhuhua gave him a deep look and sighed, "You’re so smart; surely you can’t be unaware. Huanhuan... her health is getting worse. She likes you so much. I hope during her final days, you can spend more ti with her."
Gu Bichen was touched by her lancholy, and softly said, "I will."
"Take care of yourself too, Aunt Wei."
Wei Zhuhua waved her hand, "Go ahead, she’s eager to see you."
Gu Bichen turned to leave, led by Wei Lai to the second floor.
Just as Gu Bichen reached the room’s door and was about to knock, the door suddenly opened from the inside. Yu Ruohuan eagerly pulled him in, shut the door with a ’bang’, leaving Wei Lai outside.
Before Gu Bichen could even steady himself, Yu Ruohuan hugged him tightly and impatiently went to kiss him.
Gu Bichen’s nose caught a mix of strong perfu and the unavoidable bitter dicine scent, along with a faint strange sll, like the stench emitted by decaying wood and leaves. His stomach churned, but Yu Ruohuan had already kissed him.
It was wild and intense.
A pair of withered hands tried to undress him.
Gu Bichen frowned, grabbed those mischievous hands, and pushed her away with so force.
Yu Ruohuan looked displeased at him, "You don’t want to?"
Gu Bichen looked straight into her eyes, "I’m not ready yet."
"What is there to prepare for?"
Yu Ruohuan leaned in again.
Just as the kiss was about to land, Gu Bichen suddenly turned his head.
Yu Ruohuan forcefully turned Gu Bichen’s head back, their cheeks close together, breathing each other’s breath, their eyes eting.
"Can’t keep pretending, huh?" Yu Ruohuan’s tone was sarcastic.
Gu Bichen spoke indifferently, "Your body can’t take it."
Yu Ruohuan kissed him again, wild and intense.
This ti, Gu Bichen did not push her away.
Listening to the commotion inside the room, Wei Lai shook his head and turned to go downstairs.
Given Miss’s current health, what is there left to ask for? Just enjoy the mont.
After listening to Wei Lai’s report, Wei Zhuhua could only remain silent.
Wei Lai took a call and returned, whispering in a low voice, "Madam, the things you wanted are almost ready."
Wei Zhuhua’s eyes darkened, "What’s he been up to lately?"
Wei Lai hesitated for a mont before replying, "Trying to network with Mr. Cheng."
Wei Zhuhua let out a chill laugh, "A grasshopper after autumn, won’t be bouncing for long."
"Madam, do you really want to go this far?"
"The debts the Yu family owes, soone has to pay. Besides, I must accumulate virtue for my daughter, hoping heaven has eyes and offers her a path to live. Amitabha."
Wei Zhuhua fingered the Buddha Beads in her hand, her expression devout.
She recalled another matter, "When is Qingdai’s due date?"
Wei Lai answered, "The 25th of this month."
Wei Zhuhua murmured, "Soon."
"When the child’s full moon banquet cos, host it grandly, inviting all the notable families in Jingzhou."
Wei Lai felt his heart race, "Madam, do you intend to...?"
Wei Zhuhua’s lips curled into a cold smile, "Old Madam Yu has longed for a great-grandson her whole life; I must help her realize it, let everyone see, the Yu family has a grandson now."
After a mont of silence, Wei Zhuhua lowered her voice and said, "Most importantly, invite that person for , no matter what thod you use."
Wei Lai wanted to ask who, then suddenly recalled the recent investigations ordered by Madam, feeling his heartbeat skip a beat.
"Madam... about Miss..."
"I’m helping her, she’ll understand eventually. Do as I tell you."
Inside the room, Yu Ruohuan was lying on Gu Bichen’s chest, gasping for breath.
"Why is that bitch still alive and feeling so triumphant? Didn’t you take my words to heart?"
Gu Bichen’s body stiffened, a reaction that Yu Ruohuan keenly noticed.
She looked up directly into Gu Bichen’s eyes, squinting slightly, "You’re still reluctant, aren’t you?"
Gu Bichen avoided her intense gaze, pursing his lips, "Do you think killing soone is easy? It requires not just effort but money. Just give more ti."
"You’re short on money?" Yu Ruohuan was montarily taken aback, having never considered this problem.
She got up from Gu Bichen, opened the drawer by the bed, took out a card, and threw it to Gu Bichen.
"This black card has no limit, use it as you wish. The password is my birthday."
Yu Ruohuan’s face twisted with a malicious smile, distorting her whole face like a rotting flower, emitting a foul odor.
"As long as you kill her, you can have whatever you want from ."
