Chapter 66: My Brother Finally Lost It
First, her mother was diagnosed with a heart problem and needed hospitalization for surgery, a heart bypass. She had to go back and forth to the hospital to care for her.
Then, the handmade doll clothing studio she had finally opened up inexplicably got a lot of warnings and bad reviews, some saying she was passing off inferior goods as quality, others saying she used inferior fabric to make doll clothing.
But those doll clothing items with the warning bad reviews weren’t made by her at all. Some merchant stole her display photos, those customers bought the wrong ones, but then they posted her shop online, causing her shop rating to drop sharply.
No matter how she clarified, she still received a large number of abusive private messages in the backend every day, and her shop was reported more than ten times a day.
With no other choice, Yao Xianglu could only temporarily close the shop she had opened online. The finished doll clothing on hand, the materials negotiated with the manufacturer, and the jewelry were all stuck with her.
She also ended up owing hundreds of thousands in debt because of it.
Not to mention, her mother still needed hospitalization for surgery, which was a bottomless pit of money. The savings she had on hand couldn’t cover the surgery costs or the caregiving expenses at all.
She could only take time out every day while caring for her mother to do odd jobs to subsidize the household and repay debt.
Finally, her mother’s surgery was successful, and it seemed like the hard days were about to pass and life was going to get better.
At this critical moment, some rumors spread from her father’s workplace, and those rumors reached her mother’s ears.
Her mother’s body, which had just started improving, took a sharp turn for the worse, and plus… at that time, her father had indeed driven a female colleague from his workplace home and stayed downstairs for nearly an hour.
During that hour, he also turned off the surveillance camera in the car.
Her father had no evidence to prove he had nothing improper with that female colleague. Her mother was convinced her father was cheating, got emotional during the argument with him, and ended up back in the hospital.
The days that had been improving turned bad again.
Her parents arguing all day, her mother periodically entering the emergency room, the debt collection calls blowing up her mobile phone, those filthy abusive private messages in the shop backend…
One thing after another, like straw on a camel’s back, slowly pressing down on her, suffocating her.
So when she passed by the stall selling rat poison and cockroach poison, she inexplicably bought a pack of rat poison…
Yao Xianglu said, lifting her hand to touch the rat poison in her pocket. She pursed her lips and looked at Nan Yuanman, asking, “Master, can you come back with me to see which grave is the problem?”
The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, agreeing, “Yes, yes, we do need to go back and take a look.”
“But… Master can’t just go out casually, right? Her family won’t agree. How about… I find the village shaman to take a look?”
The middle-aged man looked at the plump steamed bun face in front of him and hesitantly asked.
Yao Xianglu shook her head: “I don’t trust them.”
The only person she trusted now was Nan Yuanman.
After all, she had witnessed with her own eyes how she pulled her mother back from King Yama’s hands.
Nan Yuanman subconsciously wanted to agree, but suddenly remembered the previous times she ran off without telling the Jiang family members, causing them to search for her on a large scale.
She hesitated for a moment, then used her watch phone to dial Jiang Lixuan’s number: “I’ll call and ask him.”
The watch gave beeping sounds. Yao Xianglu held her breath, nervously waiting.
After three rings, a hoarse young man’s voice came from the watch: “Hello? Yuanman, what’s up?”
“Jiang Lixuan, I have something to do and need to go to the countryside. I’ll take good care of myself, so don’t come looking for me!” Nan Yuanman finished crisply and hung up with a click.
Jiang Lixuan, who was suddenly notified: “???”
Yao Xianglu, who witnessed Nan Yuanman’s flashy operation: “???”
Nan Yuanman felt very good about her own handling. She had called to tell the adult about this outing. She was great!
She happily looked at Yao Xianglu: “Sister, let’s go.”
Yao Xianglu’s eyes widened slightly, looking stunned: “J-just like that?”
“Yes, just like that. Sister’s family matters are the most important. The sooner the better, best to handle it now. If you delay too long, your whole family will be in life danger.” Nan Yuanman nodded and urged.
Under her repeated urging, Yao Xianglu really took Nan Yuanman back to her hometown in a daze.
The middle-aged man stayed at the hospital to look after his wife, who was still in a coma and hadn’t woken up.
–
At the same time.
Under Meng Qinian’s repeated urging, after a whole night, Meng Lei finally completed the paternity test he requested.
When handing over the information, Meng Lei inwardly rejoiced that the child was finally willing to break the ice with him, but teased on the surface: “So urgent for it, did you secretly give me a grandson or granddaughter?”
Meng Qinian rolled his eyes at him exaggeratedly, but didn’t forget to take the information: “I’m only eighteen. Do you think I’m like you, treating people like animals?”
Meng Lei smacked his head: “Hey! You brat! What nonsense are you spouting!”
When Meng Qinian saw the information showing a 99.9999% parent-child relationship, his eyes instantly widened, and he didn’t even dodge Meng Lei’s hand.
“My goodness!” He was shocked and excited, his mind only having a few words—cousin is awesome!
He was really right!
Yuanman really was the biological daughter of his cousin-in-law who had been lying in bed for three years!!
Meng Lei looked at Meng Qinian’s shocked expression, eyes nearly popping out, and worriedly asked: “What’s wrong? Problem with the report?” Or did he knock his head silly?
Meng Qinian clutched the information and suddenly turned around to run outside, excited and thrilled like a golden retriever.
He had to rush to the hospital to tell his cousin this good news!!
Meng Lei: ??
Totally crazy?
Meng Qinian wouldn’t explain to Meng Lei. He hurriedly left the testing center and drove straight to Wanhe Hospital.
At that time, Wanhe Hospital was very lively.
After finishing work, Feng Langqing flew overnight to S City and headed straight to Feng Congqian’s hospital room. He hadn’t even arrived, but his loud voice was already coming from the doorway: “Feng Yuli! Where are you? Get out here!”
In the hospital room, Feng Yuli was browsing children’s toys and children’s clothing on his mobile phone, placing orders on kuku. Hearing this, he paused, looked up at the door being forcefully pushed open.
He saw the young man wearing a black shirt and black trousers, with a wolf tail haircut, ear studs, mask and sunglasses covering his whole face tightly: “Feng Langqing, this is a hospital. Can’t you keep your voice down?”
“I won’t. If you’ve got the skills, get old man up from the bed to beat me!” Feng Langqing snorted, strode in casually, and tossed the sun hat he was holding onto the table.
He swung his long legs over and sat on the single sofa, staring at him and asking: “Tell me, what did the message you sent last night mean?”
“Why suddenly have us investigate that woman? Wasn’t she already locked up in the sanatorium by old man?”
“I suspect old man’s sudden coma is related to her.” Feng Yuli said, putting his mobile phone on the table, smiling as he said: “This time coming to S City, I have two pieces of good news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
Feng Langqing: “?”
“Does it matter?”
Feng Yuli: “Of course. One is about old man, the other… is about you and me.”
“Then tell me the one about me first. I’ve been unlucky for almost three years, don’t believe I’ll hear any good news.” Feng Langqing crossed his arms, scoffing.
Feng Yuli said lightly: “We’re going to have a sister.”
He pointed at Feng Congqian on the hospital bed: “Old man’s biological, sister.”
Feng Langqing: “…”
Feng Langqing: “???”
Feng Langqing exploded: “You unfilial son, you used old man’s sperm to create a person?”
