Jian Yufei, who was frequently hooked to an IV, was constantly sleepy and often needed to use the bathroom.
She endured a few difficult days in the hospital before finally being allowed to go ho.
On the day of her discharge, Ruan Anguo arrived early in the morning by car to visit her. Tianling’s parents also ca to see her.
Her mother-in-law, Li Yulan, who had her own career, briefly chatted with Yufei before leaving. However, her father-in-law, Ruan Mingtao, stayed with her until the end, and he finally left with the old man.
Ruan Tianling never showed up.
She knew her actions had angered him that day. It was okay if he did not co, she would only feel irritated whenever she saw him.
The IV drip lasted through the afternoon, and then it was ti for her to be discharged.
The Ruan family sent a car to pick her up. She greeted her elders when she returned to the old house, then retreated to her bedroom for a rest.
Her spacious bedroom felt lifeless, as if no one had been there for days. Perhaps, Tianling had never returned.
Jian Yufei managed a faint smile. What about this husband of hers had attracted her in the first place?
Tianling didn’t return until it was ti for dinner.
He sat next to Jian Yufei and asked sideways, “Are you feeling better?”
“Much better.” She responded faintly.
The old man muttered a cold humph, his face unpleasant.
Fearing that Tianling would be scolded again, his mother quickly took a piece of tofu and placed it in Jian Yufei’s bowl, smiling, “This is the scrambled eggs with tofu you love, eat more.”
“Thank you, mom.” Jian Yufei put the tofu in her mouth and chewed slowly, savoring the lingering taste.
Seeing Tianling also picking up food for her, the old man’s face lightened up.
The al felt a bit mundane.
After dinner, Jian Yufei went upstairs, followed by Tianling.
She sat down at the edge of the bed while the man suddenly said, “I visited your ho yesterday.”
She turned around in surprise, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, “What for?”
“Checking if your father’s hotel was viable for business.” Tianling unbuttoned his top shirt buttons, revealing a glimpse of his muscled, bronze-colored chest.
He had indeed visited her family for this reason!
“What were the inspection results?”
“Hmm, worth investing in. The location is great. I already handed the check to your father this morning.”
“You!” Jian Yufei abruptly stood up, “How could you just give it to him? What if he loses money and can’t pay it back?”
She thought they would discuss with her before giving any money.
She didn’t expect it was already given!
Tianling glanced at her and said, “How can one make money without risks? Besides, as long as the hotel operates normally, I don’t think there will be any loss.”
The problem is, their hotel dealings are all illicit.
Jian Yufei knew it was too late to argue now.
She walked up to the dressing table, opened the drawer, and searched for her bankbook, but she could not find it anywhere.
“Looking for this?” Ruan Tianling produced her bankbook from sowhere and held it up in front of her.
“Yes, how did it end up with you?” She finished, recalling the events from the day she drank too much.
“Take the bankbook. It has the two million I earned. I will pay for the money needed for my uncle’s hotel.” She said to him.
Tianling faintly curled the corner of his lips, an indistinct, cold, mocking smile.
“You really don’t want to pay?” He asked.
“No, I’m just afraid that if they lose money, they won’t be able to pay you back.”
It would have been better if she didn’t explain, but after she did, Tianling was even more displeased.
“Jian Yufei, if they can’t pay back, do you think I’ll insist on repaynt?! Do you think I need that two million?!” He asked..
