"Get moving, take me to the hospital, now!"

He harshly grabs her and rushes towards the garage, forgetting about Yuan Jiayin, leaving her at the door. Yuan Jiayin’s face turns pale and then red, she can only hurriedly catch up with them.

Upon reaching the hospital, Shang Jingchen, with a face full of guilt, rushes in to see Old Sir Shang. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Ye Lu doesn’t go inside, she just sits in the rest lounge outside the ward.

Yuan Jiayin doesn’t enter either, she fixes her cold gaze on Ye Lu’s face, sitting opposite her in the rest lounge’s sofa.

"So, Ye Lu, do you really love being the other woman so much? Jingchen has already abandoned you, yet you insist on clinging to him stubbornly. You’ve really disgraced us women. Do you have any self-respect?" The tone was filled with sarcasm.

She had to hit this woman hard, forcing her away from Jingchen. Such young girls, arrogant and unyielding, are most impatient and can’t take humiliation.

As long as she can make her lose her temper or get physical, and let Jingchen see it, she will have the upper hand.

But Ye Lu just kept her head down and continued to check her phone, not uttering a word.

Yuan Jiayin hurled a few more sarcastic comments, harsh and provocative, the kind that would make any ordinary person seethe with anger.

Yet, Ye Lu still ignored her.

Yuan Jiayin narrowed her eyes, she couldn’t believe this woman was actually ignoring her.

Walking over to her, she snatched her phone away.

Only then did Ye Lu raise her head, looking bewildered, as she pulled two ear plugs out of her ears.

"What did you say?"

What a pretender, Yuan Jiayin was livid, "What do you mean by plugging your ears?"

"Recently, a dog’s been barking non-stop, so annoying. Thought I might as well plug my ears for some peace." Ye Lu replied innocently, shrugging her shoulders.

After their encounter in the church, she’d seen Yuan Jiayin’s true colors.

But with some women, the more attention you give them, the more satisfied they become.

So rather than wasting her breath, she decided to block out the noise and take a nap. It’s exhausting responding to all that provocation.

Yuan Jiayin was furious, wasn’t that a direct jibe at her, calling her a dog? What a wretched woman.

"I’m saying you’re a shameless mistress."

"Oh!"

Her nonchalant response darkened Yuan Jiayin’s expression even more.

"Don’t you have any self-respect?"

"Nope!"

"You..." Nothing was more infuriating than encountering someone shameless. Yuan Jiayin felt like she was hitting cotton with her punches, only driving herself mad.

"Are you done talking? If so, I’m going to plug my ears again." Ye Lu continued to stick her ear plugs back in, completely ignoring her, and went back to leisurely checking her phone.

Hmph, when it comes to provocation, she wouldn’t lose. Kicking up a fuss was the most basic form of retaliation.

You can provoke me all you want, but I won’t make a sound, I’ll just annoy you to death. That’s the cleverest response.

An hour later, Shang Jingchen came out with a somber expression.

Yuan Jiayin immediately switched to a worried expression, tears welled up in her eyes, "How is grandpa, has his condition improved? It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have insisted on taking you abroad. What to do? If anything happens to grandpa, I will never forgive myself!"

"This isn’t your fault, the person to blame is me. If it wasn’t for my carelessness in losing my phone, this wouldn’t have happened."

Shang Jingchen was heartbroken, he never thought that this incident would make his grandpa seriously ill.

"Jiayin, I’m sorry, I’ve promised my grandpa that I won’t divorce within a year." His voice filled with guilt.

From his tone of voice, Yuan Jiayin knew that given the old man’s current condition, Shang Jingchen, feeling guilty as he did, would promise anything.

She had to act tactfully.

"I understand, your grandpa’s health is the most important thing. Actually, I feel very guilty, causing grandpa to get like this. I’ve thought about it, since your grandpa doesn’t like me, we should break up. So, he won’t get sicker when he sees me. I really don’t want his health to deteriorate further."
