Chapter 46 - 46: Shattered Fantasy
“Let’s not talk about this now. Why did you suddenly come back?” Lin Lanfang collected her thoughts, while her heart was filled with doubts and confusion. “Why didn’t you notify me in advance?”
“I’m coming back to my own home. Why do 1 have to notify you?”
Shen Ziqing was really upset and she didn’t even look at Lin Lanfang while answering.
Lin Lanfang lowered her voice and pinched her arm, her face full of resentment. “You came back like this, what if the Gong family and your father find out? Do you want to die?”
“Mom, what are you afraid of? We haven’t been discovered yet.” Shen Ziqing paused momentarily before continuing, “Also, Gu Wan’an and 1 have already switched back.”
“Ah?”
Lin Lanfang was stunned for a moment. The blood in her body rushed to her head and she couldn’t even stand up steadily.
She took a deep breath and held onto the sofa to support her swaying body. “Aren’t you going to marry the second young master of the Qin family? Why did you suddenly do this? What do you mean?”
At the mention of Qin Hao, Shen Ziqing’s face looked as if she had eaten a fly, full of disgust and repulsion.
“He’s a liar. He’s not the second young master of the Qin family at all. At most, he’s a distant relative. His family background is not even comparable to the Shen family.”
Instantly, Lin Lanfang’s face stiffened.
“Mom, don’t worry. I’m an actress, I won’t expose myself. I’ll grab the opportunity to make Gong Mingye fall in love with me within these two years. By then, you’ll be his real mother-in-law and you’ll have everything you want. Why would you care about the Shen family’s assets? Just wait to enjoy life with me in the future.”
Shen Ziqing softened her tone and spoke with a tone full of confidence.
It was as if Gong Mingye was already tightly held in her hands.
Seeing her daughter’s confident look, Lin Lanfang finally relaxed and smiled. “Mom really didn’t raise you for nothing.”
“Get the maids to clean the room later. I have to stay here for a few days and can’t return to the Gong family for the time being.”
“Why?”
Shen Ziqing lifted her clothes. Her chest and back were covered in wounds from the belt. “That dog Qin Hao hit me. I have to recover before I can go back.”
“Okay, I’ll get the maids to send the ointment over.”
In the rented room.
In front of Gu Wan’an was a bowl of instant noodles. She was holding her phone and looking at job postings.
A few companies looked good, and their benefits were also quite good.
She filled out the resume form while eating her noodles.
Now, her aunt’s condition had stabilized, and the fees for the follow-up treatment and kidney source had also been settled. The stone that had been pressing down on her heart had finally been safely lifted.
She didn’t need to work seven or eight part-time jobs like before and could find a good job with better prospects for the future.
After her aunt was discharged from the hospital, she would bring her to a nearby city to travel and relax.
Thinking of this, she felt that the future was bright and she was filled with happiness and anticipation.
The corners of Gu Wan’an’s mouth curled up into a smile.
~”I like to follow you like this. You can take me anywhere you want…”-
At that moment, a beautiful ringtone sounded, shattering her fantasy.
Gu Wan’an raised her eyebrows and lowered her head.
On the phone screen, the words “Professor Chen” kept flashing.
Could it be that he had found a suitable kidney?
Her face lit up and she pressed the answer button eagerly. “Hello, Professor Chen-”
“Wan’an. Come to the hospital quickly. Your aunt is seriously ill and has been sent to the operating room.”
Before she could finish, Professor Chen interrupted her. “1’11 hang up first. 1 have to enter the operating room. Come as soon as you can.”
As soon as the words fell came the beeping sound of a disconnected call.
Gu Wan’an’s chest heaved up and down. She put down her bowl and rushed out of the room. She hailed a taxi and went straight to the hospital..
