Chapter 886: Bewitched by a Green Tea

"You are still young, don't talk about death or anything like that. Tell me, where have you been these past few days? Why are you wearing a hospital gown?" Jian Yining's expression grew increasingly serious.

"I was in the hospital." She lowered her head, looking aggrieved.

"I didn't have a phone and wasn't allowed to go out. I had to be hooked up to plasma for transfusions every day. Thank you, Brother A Ning, that plasma must be very expensive, right? I don't know if this money is enough, but this is all I have. Once my health recovers, I will find a job immediately and will be able to pay you back soon..."

Huang Qin was very clever; she did not directly speak ill of Jian Yixin.

However, her words implied that she had been under house arrest, that she had nearly died, and that she had no money!

The result was just as she had hoped: Jian Yining carried her out of the company in front of everyone, got into a car, and drove away.

Gossip was always the company's constant topic of conversation.

The General Manager's scandalous news quickly hit the company's gossip website.

The photo of Jian Yining carrying Huang Qin out of the company was initially only circulated internally, but it was soon uploaded to the internet, and Wan'er saw it.

"Sister, I won't hesitate anymore. I want a divorce."

Shi Youxuan: "Even if you want a divorce, you can't do it now. That woman is just waiting for you to bring it up; you can't fall for her trap."

"It doesn't matter anymore. I don't want anything, just the children."

Since her sister's mind was made up, she stopped trying to persuade her.

But as soon as she left the house, she called Jian Yining and scolded him directly: "Has your brain been flooded? You have a perfectly good life and yet you insist on stirring up trouble. Now Wan'er wants to divorce you; you figure out how to handle this."

Jian Yining: "I will not get a divorce. Nothing happened between Huang Qin and me. A clear conscience needs no excuse."

"Get lost."

Shi Youxuan almost dropped her phone.

It had already caused such a huge scandal, and he still claimed nothing had happened?

This guy must be possessed by a ghost.

She wanted to stop caring, but then she thought that she couldn't just ignore it; A Ning must have been brainwashed by that woman.

Now, the only person left to discuss this with, and who might have an idea, was Jian Yixin.

Once the two met, she realized that her best friend had also been defeated.

That woman had run out of the hospital and turned the tables; Jian Yining now had a very negative opinion of his sister, even believing she was a vicious woman, and he even refused to answer her calls. Nothing she said was of any use.

Shi Youxuan: "Wan'er is now dead set on getting a divorce. What should we do?"

Jian Yixin: "It can't be done right now. A Ning won't agree to it."

Shi Youxuan: "Don't forget that she used to be a Lüshi. As long as she wants to, she will definitely find a way to do it."

Jian Yixin:...

She had truly forgotten that.

In the afternoon.

The Sheng Family welcomed an uninvited guest—Lady Jian!

Lady Jian had only just learned about the matter and had come to pick up her daughter-in-law and granddaughters to take them home, mainly to make her stance clear.

"Wan'er, our Jian Family only recognizes you as our daughter-in-law. No other woman can enter the Jian Family home. Come, go back with Mom. It's not right for you to keep living in someone else's house with the children."

"If you want to vent your anger, I'll take you to beat that woman up again and drive her out of Jiangzhou so she can never get close to A Ning again. Don't worry, Mom keeps her word."

Her mother-in-law's attitude brought Wan'er some small comfort.

But she refused.

If a husband's heart is at home, no woman can take him away!

But if his heart is already gone, what is the point of keeping the person?

"No need, Mom. I'm planning to take the children back to the United States. There's no need to go find that woman. Let it be."

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was going to take the granddaughters away, Lady Jian panicked immediately.

If the granddaughters were taken away by their mother, would they ever be able to come back?

She left the Sheng Family and immediately called her son: "Where are you? Get home immediately. If you don't come back, you can just wait to collect my corpse."

Jian Yining:...

The same familiar tone.

They all used this method to pressure him; he was very resistant, but he had no choice.

The Jian Family.

Jian Yixin had also returned, even earlier than he did.

He felt even more resistant when he saw his sister, and the two siblings started arguing after only a few words.

Jian Yining: "That's enough, stop talking. I just don't understand, why is it that you are all already so powerful, yet you insist on making things difficult for a young girl?"

"Didn't you say you would give her a sum of money so she would have no worries for the rest of her life? But search your conscience and tell me, did you ever give it to her?"

"What kind of life did she live in the hospital? Being watched, eating rotten food, covering herself with blankets that dead people had used... Jian Yixin, isn't your heart too vicious?"

These words were a mix of truth and lies.

It was true that Jian Yixin had people watching her.

The rotten food and the blankets used by the dead were completely baseless.

"Slap!"

Jian Yixin slapped her brother hard across the face.

"Jian Yining, you have been blinded by lard; you don't believe your closest family, yet you believe everything that woman says."

"It's not like you haven't stayed in a hospital before; don't you know the hospital's rules? Would the Cafeteria have rotten food? Blankets used by the dead are all destroyed; that is a strict regulation. You have actually become so muddled over some dead girl from who knows where."

"No wonder Wan'er is dead set on divorcing you. She's doing the right thing. Why keep a scumbag like you around? Should we keep you for the New Year?"

Jian Yining raged: "Who are you calling a scumbag?"

"So what if I call you that? Scumbag, muddle-headed fool, big idiot. You will regret this sooner or later."

Yixin, frustrated by his lack of ambition, picked up a water glass and splashed it onto his face: "Wake up to yourself."

"Are you crazy?"

"The one who is crazy is you."

Yixin grabbed her coat and left; she didn't want to see her younger brother anymore, this muddle-headed fool was too infuriating.

After his sister was angered into leaving, his mother tried to persuade him with earnest words: "A Ning, your sister is right; you don't understand the twists and turns of a woman's heart..."

Jian Yining grew impatient just as she started: "Enough, in your eyes everyone else is a bad person, everyone is just eyeing our family's money. Is having a bit of money so amazing? You always think others have ill intentions, that everyone is a villain, and only you are good people!"

He flicked his sleeves and left, not even taking his coat.

Lady Jian paced the living room in a panic: "What should we do? He's such a grown man and still doesn't put our minds at ease; he won't listen to good advice or bad."

Her husband tried to comfort her: "Forget it, I don't think you should interfere so much. He has already been brainwashed by that woman and won't listen to anything. Let him calm down on his own, or perhaps he will see the truth after he suffers a loss."

"Suffers a loss? What kind of loss can a man suffer? I'm just afraid that by the time he sees that woman's true colors, my good daughter-in-law will never come back... and my adorable granddaughters, whether they lack a father or a mother, they will have to grow up in an incomplete family..."

The old couple sighed and lamented, feeling incredibly distressed.

"Ring-a-ling—"

The phone rang, but it wasn't the old couple's phone.

"Whose phone is that?"

Jian Xiansheng discovered that the ringing was coming from his son's coat pocket.

Lady Jian went to reach into the pocket, but Jian Xiansheng stopped her: "That's not very good, is it? Don't answer our son's phone."

"I'm just checking who is calling; it might delay our son's important business."

The excuse was very high-sounding, and she picked up the phone as a matter of course.

The person calling was exactly who Lady Jian had thought—Huang Qin.
