Chapter 1139 Shengnan 71
The news of Lao Jiang's transfer to another ward and Jiang Shengnan's return quickly reached Jiang Shengli and Wang Sumei. The two arrived at the ward before six o'clock, at which time Jiang Shengnan was dozing off on Jin Jue's shoulder.

She barely slept all night, just watching Lao Jiang, and only managed to doze off for a while just before dawn.

Jiang Shengli was stopped by the bodyguards at the door before he even entered the ward. Looking through the glass door, he saw two people sitting on the sofa. The man on the outside was looking out the door with eyes as sharp as a hawk's, full of displeasure.

For some reason, Jiang Shengli instinctively straightened up. Jin Jue, however, stopped looking at Jiang Shengli and instead looked down at Jiang Shengnan. He patted Jiang Shengnan's shoulder: "Nannan, Jiang Shengli is here."

Jiang Shengli? Jiang Shengnan suddenly opened her eyes. She sat up straight and wiped her face haphazardly: "Let them in, they're here really early."

Jin Jue handed her the toiletries next to her: "Go wash your face first, but don't use cold water."

"Okay," Jiang Shengnan yawned. "Don't pay any attention to them. They're always the type to take advantage of you."

Jiang Shengli and Wang Sumei were led into the ward by the bodyguards. Jiang's mother woke up at this time. Seeing Jiang Shengnan in the bathroom and noticing Jin Jue's calm expression, Jiang's mother tentatively asked, "What...what is your relationship with Shengnan?"

What kind of people hasn't Jin Jue seen? He glanced at Jiang's mother, "Engaged couple."

They were boyfriend and girlfriend before, but after Jiang Shengnan mentioned it to him yesterday, Jin Jue automatically upgraded himself to a higher social class.

Jiang's mother: "Well... in our area, it's customary to give a bride price when getting married..."

Jin Jue chuckled, "How many do you want? I'll give them to Nan Nan directly later."

Jiang Shengli suddenly became anxious: "Then...how can that be? Mom and Dad raised her all these years, and her marriage is such a big event, she..."

Before he could finish speaking, the bathroom door was pushed open, and Jiang Shengnan stood in front of it, looking at them with a half-smile. Jiang Shengli, like a chicken with its neck choked, dared not say another word.

Jiang Shengnan chuckled: "Go on, I'm listening."

Jiang Shengli said awkwardly, "Well... I was just saying that, Mom brought it up first."

Jiang's mother started playing the victim: "Shengnan...you and your father haven't had a good time at all since you came out of the sanatorium..."

Jiang Shengnan raised her hand: "Stop. I'm not your daughter, don't you all know that? And you're still asking Jin Jue for a bride price, do you think that's appropriate?"

Jiang Shengnan shattered Jiang's lingering hope, and Jiang's mother's eyes darted around, filled with a mixture of surprise and doubt. Was the person in front of her really not her daughter, Jiang Shengnan?

“Since everyone’s here today, I won’t waste any more time.” Jiang Shengnan sat down next to Jin Jue. “After you leave the sanatorium, I’ll give you 4000 a month. As far as I know, Jiang Shengli didn’t contribute a single penny.”

“You stayed in the sanatorium for three years, at 30 yuan a year, all paid for by me. But in the second month after you checked into the sanatorium, Jiang Shengli took away your monthly pension of 4000 yuan.”

"It's 48,000 a year. Jiang Shengli took it for three years. I'll round it down to 140,000. How do you plan to repay this debt, Jiang Shengli?"

At the mention of money, Jiang Shengli immediately jumped three feet high: "I have no money!"

"You don't have to pay back the money, that's fine. Your mother is still in good health. Since you're receiving Lao Jiang's pension, you should be responsible for your mother's retirement, right?"

Jiang Shengli wanted to say that this was a big problem. This mother wasn't just his mother, so why shouldn't you pay? But he didn't dare. "There has to be a time limit. Mom doesn't have social security. I can cover her daily meals and accommodation, but if she gets sick, we both have to pay for her medical expenses."

Jiang Shengnan chuckled: "You think I'm stupid? If she lives with you, you'll just have a free nanny. In the end, when she can't work anymore and gets sick, I'll have to pay for her medical treatment?"

"She has never done anything for me, so why should I bear the consequences when she has done so for you?"

Jiang Shengli was furious: "Then... what do you want to do?" Jiang Shengnan: "Don't you and your wife not tolerate her? Then let her continue living in the countryside. You can deposit the 140,000 yuan into her name in full, and that will be the end of it."

Wang Sumei flatly refused: "No way!"

The money is already in their hands, how could they be willing to give it away?
Jiang Shengnan looked at Jiang Shengli: "You think so too?"

Jiang Shengli was also caught in a dilemma. Giving the money to his biological mother was better than giving it to Jiang Shengnan. He could just sweet-talk his mother later, and the money would end up in his hands anyway.
Therefore, Jiang Shengli nodded after less than two minutes of thought: "Okay."

"Jiang Shengli!" Wang Sumei exclaimed anxiously, about to erupt in anger, but immediately deflated upon hearing Jiang Shengnan's soft hum. How could she forget that this man was not someone to be trifled with?

Jiang Shengnan nodded: "Go and do it when the bank opens. I won't go back to S City until the money arrives."

Wang Sumei muttered, "You're so rich, can't you take care of your brother? Mom and Dad are in such a state, and all you talk about is money..."

Jiang Shengnan pretended not to hear her and ignored her presence. Wang Sumei could only sit aside and sulk; she really had no way to deal with it.

At this moment, Assistant Wen brought breakfast, and the group split into several groups to eat breakfast in the ward, each with their own thoughts.

Around eight o'clock, the doctor came to make rounds. After seeing Jiang Shengnan, the doctor clearly felt that this person was capable of taking charge, so he explained Lao Jiang's condition to Jiang Shengnan.

Just as Tan You described, the patient could last for two days with the tube inserted, and only an hour after the tube was removed.

Now, Lao Jiang is throwing money into the hospital every day, and this money has to be split between Jiang Shengnan and himself. Since Lao Jiang is going to die anyway, Jiang Shengli naturally doesn't want to spend more money.

When the doctor asked Jiang Shengnan for his opinion, Jiang Shengli was the first to speak: "Let's remove the tubes."

Jiang Shengnan glanced at Jiang Shengli, not at all surprised by his words.

Jiang's mother was the most unable to accept it. She rushed over and pounded on Jiang Shengli's back: "That's your father, how could you treat him like this?"

Jiang Shengli retorted, "Staying in the hospital costs tens of thousands a day. How can I afford that?"

"What difference does it make if it's just one or two days? Mom, you and Dad have always loved me the most, and you don't want to add to my burden, right?"

Jiang Shengnan watched this scene with a sneer. When it really comes to spending money, no blood ties or family affection matter. Does Jiang Shengli even have any concept of family affection?

At this moment, Jiang Shengnan suddenly agreed with a statement: "Your child doesn't love you as much as you think."

They've always been spoiled and taken for granted.

The doctor looked at Jiang Shengli, then at Jiang Shengnan: "Who will make the decision?"

Jiang Shengnan twitched her fingers: "Don't remove the tube for now."

Jiang Shengli became anxious: "If you don't remove the tube, you'll have to pay for all the medical expenses yourself. I won't pay a single extra penny."

“You don’t need to do this,” Jiang Shengnan glanced at him. “I will pay for what I suggested. Just remember what you promised. Speaking of which, the bank should be open for business soon.”

Jin Jue spoke up at the right moment: "I'll have the bodyguard go with him."
