Chapter 663: Save the Mother or Save the Child

Jian Yining and his mother could not communicate.

They were never on the same wavelength.

So, he stopped wasting his breath and said coldly, "If anything happens to Wan'er, I will certainly follow her."

"And our children; we will live and die together."

Lady Jian was shocked and pale: "No, the children are descendants of the Jian Family; you cannot, and you have no right to deprive them of their right to live!"

A cold voice rang out from behind: "Heh, he has no right to deprive the Jian Family's children of their right to live, but you have the right to deprive someone else's child of their right to live?"

Shi Youxuan had arrived and had been standing to the side watching the mother and son argue for quite a while.

The family was too engrossed, so they hadn't noticed.

"I will sign this, save the mother." Seeing Shi Youxuan, Jian Yining suddenly realized that continuing to argue with his mother here was meaningless.

Now was not the time to be stubborn; saving lives was what mattered.

He picked up the broken half of the Hallucinogenic Pen from the floor and, with a trembling hand, signed his name on the consent form.

Jian Yixin had not been present during the dispute between her brother and mother; she had urgently contacted the best gynecologists and specialists in Jiangzhou, and they had all been invited in the shortest possible time.

The specialists went in, group after group.

The light above the operating room remained on, and Jian Yining's heart remained tightly clenched.

He stared at the red light above without blinking, both hoping for it to go out soon and fearing that once it did, the doctor would come out to tell him bad news.

Time passed second by second.

It felt as long as a century, but the doctor finally came out from inside, smiling: "Congratulations, President Jian, both the wife and children are safe; this is a miracle."

Jin Wan'er had passed through danger, and both mother and daughter were safe.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Hospital Ward.

Wan'er lay on the hospital bed, pale; although the anesthesia had not worn off and she had not yet woken up, all her vital signs were normal, and there were no issues.

Jian Yining sat by the bedside, watching over Wan'er, his eyes full of heartache and doting affection.

He held his wife's hand and whispered: "Wan'er, our children are very cute, especially beautiful, they look just like you. I've thought of names for the Baobao; one will take my surname, one will take yours, one will be named Wan'er, don't you think that's good..."

Shi Youxuan sat on the sofa scrolling through her phone, occasionally glancing at the two of them.

The way Jian Yining looked at his sister now was the same way he had looked at Shi Youxuan back then.

Shi Youxuan was happy for her sister-in-law, happy that she possessed a complete love.

But while happy, sitting here, she felt like a third wheel.

However, she couldn't leave yet; she had to wait for Wan'er to wake up and report the good news to the grandparents!

Jin Laoyezi and the old lady hadn't made it in time for the birth of Sheng Zichen, and it was a coincidence that they hadn't made it this time either.

The elderly couple had requested that Shi Youxuan wait for Wan'er to wake up and show them a video call.

She couldn't refuse the elderly couple's request, so she stayed behind.

Lady Jian had seen the children and returned, beaming: "My granddaughter is so cute, her little face looks just like A Ning's when he was little, she's so lovable..."

Jian Yining frowned, displeased: "Keep your voice down, Wan'er hasn't woken up yet."

"Why hasn't she woken up yet? It's fine, she'll wake up in a moment." She said dismissively, then said to Shi Youxuan: "Xuanxuan, please tell the grandparents on the other side later that Wan'er is doing well; I treat her like my own daughter, she won't suffer any grievances in our family."

Shi Youxuan didn't even lift her eyelids and ignored her.

Feeling guilty, she repeated the same words to her son, asking him to tell Wan'er's grandparents.

Jin Laoyezi and his wife held significant weight in A Country.

Back outside the operating room, she had only cared about whether her own granddaughter would be safe and hadn't thought of anything else.

Later, when Wan'er was safe, she thought of the Jin Family's connections.

If this matter reached the ears of Jin Laoyezi and his wife, it would likely be no small trouble.

So, she took the opportunity while Wan'er was still asleep to take precautions!

She firmly believed that as long as her attitude was better and she treated her daughter-in-law better in the future, they would forget about today's events.

Lady Jian didn't feel embarrassed, but Jian Yining felt very embarrassed.

How thick-skinned must one be to be able to say such things?

And these words were coming from his own mother.

"Enough, don't say any more. Don't think you're the only smart person in the world and everyone else is a fool; don't you feel ashamed?" Jian Yining scolded his mother.

For a son to lecture his mother, these words were already very harsh, but Lady Jian was not angry and said pleasantly: "A Ning, don't be angry; Mom is old, it's inevitable that I do foolish things sometimes..."

Shi Youxuan sneered and interjected: "You aren't foolish at all; you are playing dumb while knowing exactly what's going on. When you encounter things, you weigh the importance better than anyone."

This woman was mocking her; Lady Jian wasn't stupid, she could hear it.

However, she didn't dare to go head-to-head with Shi Youxuan now.

Lady Jian wore a smile and said to her in a fawning manner: "Xuanxuan, you're joking. You know how many foolish things your aunt has done. Sigh, when people get old, they become unreasonable, their brains are rigid, and they stick to old-fashioned thinking... It's normal for you young people to find it hard to accept..."

She knew she was in the wrong and didn't argue, starting to play the victim instead.

Lady Jian had fought with Shi Youxuan so many times that she had accumulated a certain amount of experience in conflict.

She knew Shi Youxuan responded to soft tactics rather than hard ones, so she changed her strategy.

"Hmph!"

Shi Youxuan also turned her head to the side, ignoring her.

Did she think others were as easy to fool as children?

A matter of life and death, and she thought she could cover it up by saying a few nice words?

She was dreaming.

Lady Jian looked awkward, but she still leaned forward and said to Shi Youxuan, "Xuanxuan, please don't tell Wan'er about today's events. Rest assured, from now on, I will treat Wan'er like my own daughter."

"I won't say anything, you don't need to worry about that."

Shi Youxuan finally understood the reason why Lady Jian had been trying to curry favor with her all along.

It turned out she was afraid that she would tell Wan'er about what happened outside the operating room, but she would not say anything.

The matter had already passed, and talking about it was useless.

Aside from making Wan'er sad, it had no meaning at all!

Fortunately, Jian Yining's attitude was firm; the fact that he was genuinely good to his sister was enough.

The relationship between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is one of reciprocity—you treat me well, I treat you well, a give-and-take relationship.

For now, she would not say anything, but at an appropriate time, she would still tell Wan'er; she could not let her be kept in the dark.

The effect of the anesthesia had worn off.

Wan'er woke up.

"Where is the child? Let me see the child." The first thing she asked when she woke up was about the child.

Before she lost consciousness, she knew her condition was not very good.

Now that she was fine, what she cared about most was whether the Baobao were safe!

"Wan'er, you're awake?"

The mother-in-law "kindly" leaned over, pushing Shi Youxuan to the side.

"Are you thirsty? Do you want to eat something? I had the cook stew some top-quality Blood Bird's Nest; it is the most nourishing. I'll go bring it to you."

Lady Jian was too eager to perform, and she actually forgot common sense.

Jian Yining's brows were already furrowed into a knot, and he said impatiently to his mother, "You should just go out; don't cause trouble here. Wan'er just woke up and cannot eat anything."

Having just finished surgery, eating before passing gas is a life-threatening matter.
