Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Du Xiaojuan found a mother-and-baby room at the Hospital, fed the child milk, and only then drove back.

The child slept for a while in the car, but once back at the residence, the child started fussing again, and no amount of coaxing helped; fortunately Kang Yi was there to help, otherwise Du Xiaojuan felt she might have collapsed.

The more she thought about this matter, the angrier she got, and the more she couldn't understand what was going on in Wang Dashan's head.

If he really wanted to take the child to see his father, why didn't he just let her bring the child over after the surgery was done during the day?

He insisted on waiting until evening, when the child needed milk and sleep, before calling to say he wanted to take the child over!

This man is not only single-minded, he has zero planning for things!

He acts on whatever impulse strikes!

It's not just this one small matter tonight!

He's the same way with big things!

Take the old-renovation housing — he didn't even understand it clearly, yet he went and sank five million into it!

Is there a bubble in his brain!

As if he's so rich!

Even if he had more money, he can't just squander it like this!

Perhaps, when Wang Dashan came pursuing her again back then, she shouldn't have softened her heart!

Thinking of this, Du Xiaojuan's inner emotions became indescribably complex.

There was regret, there was anger, but more than anything a sense of sorrow.

In business she had never made a wrong decision.

But in major life matters, it seemed she had truly been wrong.

At least for now, there were already faint signs of a mistake.

Should she stop loss in time?

In business there's a tactic called stop loss in time.

Those who can stop loss in time, who don't get trapped deeper making one mistake after another — they're all truly smart people.

But in marriage, can you really stop loss in time?

So-called stop loss in time is actually just divorce.

Divorce is easy.

For Du Xiaojuan, even property division wouldn't be a big problem, because she and Wang Dashan signed a prenuptial agreement.

What to do with the child after divorce — that's the real problem.

A child isn't an object; you can't just assign custody to someone and call it done.

Thinking of the child, Du Xiaojuan felt that choosing to get pregnant back then might also have been a wrong choice.

No pregnancy, no child — where would this mess of a stall come from?

At least before having a child, her and Wang Dashan's relationship was still very good.

They say having a child is when the real test of a marriage begins; now Du Xiaojuan finally understood the deep meaning of those words, and deeply agreed with them.

After having a child, even she — who always handled things cleanly and efficiently — couldn't achieve a clean, clean-cut divorce.

At least, short of being forced by circumstances, she was willing to maintain this marriage for the child's sake.

This is perhaps the greatness of maternal love.

Things etched into human genes make it very hard for her to overcome.

This one night, even with Kang Yi helping watch the child sleep, Du Xiaojuan still suffered insomnia.

And Wang Dashan, after Du Xiaojuan left, he was also gloomy and unhappy.

He went outside the Inpatient Department to smoke, because the entire Inpatient Department is non-smoking.

Wang Dashan also grew angrier the more he thought.

He felt that during this period, his father having trouble at Home had already left him anxious and upset; Du Xiaojuan didn't say a single word of concern, and that was bad enough, but asking her to bring the child over, she still gave him the cold shoulder in front of a whole houseful of people — she simply doesn't count as a qualified wife!

Actually the main thing is still that Du Xiaojuan didn't care about him, didn't say any comforting words to him, which made him feel heart-chilled.

A human heart is made of flesh after all; although his father never treated him well growing up, blood is thicker than water no matter what — he wants his father to live a bit longer, what's wrong with that?

Besides, it's not like he can't afford the medical expenses.

If his entire net worth were only a hundred thousand, and he had to empty his family assets for treatment, Du Xiaojuan resenting him would be perfectly normal, and he could understand that.

The problem is, right now Du Xiaojuan's net worth exceeds a hundred million, and he, Wang Dashan, has several million in cash sitting in his Bank Card; going all out on his father's treatment, the medical expenses are completely within his means — he doesn't even need Du Xiaojuan to help pay — so why is she unwilling? Why throw a fit?

He couldn't figure it out.

In the end he could only trace it back to Du Xiaojuan valuing money above everything.

Not only more important than his Wang Dashan's parents' lives, but even more important than her own Du Xiaojuan's parents' lives!

Even if forced to choose between money and Wang Dashan, she'd most likely choose money without hesitation!

Heh, women — they're just that mercenary!

Thinking and thinking, Wang Dashan couldn't help letting out a bleak, cold laugh.

He doesn't regret marrying and having a child; he regrets marrying and having a child with Du Xiaojuan.

Du Xiaojuan values money above all else — she's fundamentally not the wife he envisioned.

His ideal wife: gentle, kind, virtuous; she might not earn much, but when he gets off duty and goes home, she'd welcome him with a smile, give him a hot meal to eat; when he's tired from work, she could comfort him, give him warmth.

And Du Xiaojuan had none of these!

Besides earning money, she only earns money!

Making the home not feel like a home!

They all say a serious illness best reveals human nature.

Although this serious illness didn't befall Wang Dashan himself, it still let him see clearly Du Xiaojuan's true colors.

Du Xiaojuan is a cold-hearted, ruthless, snobbish woman who values money above everything!

At least, that's what he believes!

Wang Dashan was still feeling gloomy and displeased.

At this moment, his mobile phone rang; he took it out and saw it was Wang Erhai calling.

"Big Brother, our dad has passed out into a coma!"

After connecting, Wang Erhai's loud shout immediately came from the other end of the phone.

Wang Dashan was immediately startled; he hurriedly threw away the half-smoked cigarette and then ran with quick steps toward the ward.

Arriving at the ward, doctors and nurses were already busy.

In a fluster, performing CPR on Wang Zhanggen lying on the hospital bed.

It was very obvious; Wang Zhanggen this time wasn't simply unconscious, but his heart had directly stopped beating.

This came very suddenly.

Not long after Du Xiaojuan left, Wang Zhanggen said he was sleepy and wanted to take a nap.

Then he fell asleep.

At first the monitoring machine showing his heartbeat displayed that his heartbeat was still very steady.

But for some reason, while sleeping, it suddenly went into cardiac arrest; at this time Wang Xiaohua had already taken Li Xiulan to a nearby hotel to stay overnight, so only Wang Erhai was alone at the bedside.

Wang Erhai was chatting with Zhang Yueran on his mobile phone; he only noticed something was wrong when he heard the beep-beep-beep sound from the machine, then he hurriedly pressed the call button at the bedside and explained the situation to the nurse.

Before long the nurse brought the doctor.

Only after the nurse and doctor started the rescue did Wang Erhai find a moment to call Wang Dashan.

When Wang Dashan returned to the ward, the doctor and nurse were still rescuing Wang Zhanggen.

Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai stood to the side, both at a loss.

On the doctor's side, they even used a CPR machine.

The machine pressed once on Wang Zhanggen's chest, and Wang Zhanggen's whole body trembled once.

After pressing ten or so times, Wang Zhanggen finally regained a heartbeat.

The doctor then hurriedly said to Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai:

"The patient developed heart failure after surgery and must be transferred to the ICU; otherwise there could be danger to life at any moment, but the cost may be relatively high, so you must decide as soon as possible."

Wang Dashan said without the slightest hesitation:

"Transfer to the ICU immediately! Money is not a problem; you must save my dad!"
