Accusations of not wanting to marry: The prosecutor pressed him relentlessly.

Jiang Chengyun drank some alcohol and rambled on all night about how domineering Tan Zifeng was and how frustrated he felt.

He then berated himself for being a terrible person, for letting Yun Qiao down, and for just giving up on a four-year relationship like that. He's such a scumbag.

Then they start to pour out their grievances. There's no way around it; we're all just ordinary people. Who can resist the temptation of power? In this day and age, how long can you go on based solely on a little bit of liking? In this circle, who can escape the mundane? No matter how much commotion they caused at the beginning, in the end, who doesn't obediently go back to listen to their family's arrangements, get married, and have children?

Mu Wangbei also drank, but he didn't say a word.

Listening silently.

Jiang Chengyun couldn't even continue speaking: "Beizi, what's wrong with you? I've been talking all night, so give me an answer! Am I sitting across from thin air?"

Mu Wangbei looked up at him: "What am I supposed to say? You trampled on other people's sincerity and you still think you're right? And you're even acting aggrieved? You play around with people's feelings, so why do you think you can get away unscathed? Have you ever thought about how irresponsible you are to others? Do you even have a heart? Where do you get a heart? You're a heartless bastard."

Jiang Chengyun: ...

He's such a jerk. His buddy was drinking with him silently, which annoyed him. He got yelled at and then felt good!

Mu Wangbei was also drunk, and Jiang Chengyun's driver had been waiting outside. Now, one of the drunks had to take the other drunk home.

Jiang Chengyun nudged Mu Wangbei, who was standing silently with his eyes closed, and asked, "Won't your wife be furious if you go back like this? She's with you, isn't she?"

Mu Wangbei remained silent, only raising his hand to rub his temples, his disdainful expression clearly conveying a warning: Shut up!!!

Jiang Chengyun shut up.

Speaking of drinking etiquette, Mu Wangbei is truly exceptional. He neither speaks nor acts erratically; he simply closes his eyes to meditate, as if in deep meditation. One wonders if he was the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi in his previous life.

Mu Wangbei knew his own limitations; he had never lost his composure in his entire life.

He leaned against the wall to get home, rested in the entryway for several minutes, staring at the trash can. Finally, he picked up the broken watch, held it in his hand, and slept on the sofa for the night.

At five in the morning, my head was throbbing and my throat was parched.

Mu Wangbei instinctively called out, "Tangtang~"

Before dawn, he heard his voice was hoarse beyond recognition. He remembered the time he had a cold and fever, when he broke off all the fever reducers and cold medicine pills in the house just so that Fang Youxi would bring him medicine and take advantage of her sympathy to stay overnight at his house.

She won't come again.

They broke up yesterday.

To be precise, he was suddenly dumped.

Mu Wangbei let out a long sigh. These past seven months had felt like a colorful dream. Someone had suddenly fed him a strawberry-flavored candy in his otherwise mundane and uneventful life, and then ruthlessly left.

If he had known this would happen, he would have preferred not to eat that candy in the first place; he probably would have had to spend a very long time trying to quit.

Yun Qiao spent some time at home revising her resume, and she'll start looking for a job as soon as the Spring Festival holiday is over and her mother is hospitalized.

The two bedrooms are all furnished and ready to go. The hospital is right next door, just a ten-minute walk away. Public transportation, including buses and subways, is very convenient, so the rent is not low.

Things are different now. She has to be careful with every penny. She even changed her phone number and used a new WeChat account. Her previous life of extravagance was like a dream. When she woke up, she returned to her own place, as if her feet were on the ground, and she felt at ease.

The parents took the overnight sleeper train and arrived in Beicheng the next morning. They originally wanted to buy high-speed rail tickets, but they couldn't bear to spend the money. Yunqiao stopped trying to persuade them. Her mother was stubborn, and it was already difficult enough for her to come to Beicheng. They had their own way of life, and there was no way to force them.

Over the years, apart from giving some money, I have rarely gone home and rarely been able to fulfill my filial duties. Although her family is not wealthy and the three children live a tight life, her parents have been very good to her.

In their small county, families without a son were looked down upon. After her parents had their third child, a younger brother, they did not mistreat her and her sister. Her father wanted to save some money for her brother's future marriage, but her mother said that even if she couldn't treat all three children equally, she couldn't let her two daughters be looked down upon by their future in-laws, and she still had to prepare some dowry for her daughters.

In her memory, her parents worked hard and lived frugally for most of their lives. They lived an ordinary but difficult life, but their family was harmonious and happy, and it was her eternal haven.

The next day, Yun Qiao got up early and went to the train station to pick up her parents and take them home.

The mother asked Yunqiao, "Baby, why are you renting such a big house? How much did it cost? Did you move here because of us? No need, your dad and I can just sleep on the floor."

Yun Qiao comforted her mother: "Mom, don't worry. I've already booked an appointment with a specialist. We'll go to the hospital first thing tomorrow morning to get you admitted as soon as possible and stabilize your condition first."

Her parents didn't know she had broken up with her boyfriend. They had never met Jiang Chengyun, only seen photos of the two of them together when they went out.

In the photo, Jiang Chengyun is holding her in his arms, and the two are smiling sweetly at the camera. His appearance and temperament clearly indicate that he is a wealthy young master from a well-to-do family. His mother had privately asked when the two of them would get married, and Yun Qiao had only said that getting married in big cities takes longer and there was no rush. Her parents never said anything more about it.

Yun Qiao had originally planned to take her parents out to eat, but her father refused, fearing the expense. In the end, the family ate shredded pork noodles at home, which tasted just like the ones she remembered from her childhood. Yun Qiao's eyes welled up with tears.

The following day, a minor incident occurred at Beicheng Hospital.

After reviewing all the medical records and test reports, the specialist ordered a few more tests and then issued an admission slip. However, the six-bed regular ward was full, and there would be a waiting list. If they didn't want to wait, they could go to the international ward, where there were available rooms. But the price? More than double.

Chemotherapy takes time, and Yun Qiao was getting anxious. However, she simply couldn't afford the international department's fees with her current financial situation. She circled around the international department several times before finally bracing herself to go in and pay the fees. Unexpectedly, she ran into Rong Qian.

Rong Qian's ex-wife went abroad on a business trip, and his daughter was not feeling well, so he brought his daughter to see a doctor.

I never expected to run into Yun Qiao. She had her hair straightened and tied in a bun, and was wearing a long black down jacket. She was clean-cut without any makeup, looking like a recent college graduate.

Rong Qian didn't know if they had broken up, but Jiang Chengyun went to the Tan family in Shencheng this Spring Festival, and all his close friends knew about it.

Today's Yun Qiao is completely different from the gentle and charming beauty who is by Jiang Chengyun's side. He felt that her face was familiar and subconsciously called out, but he didn't expect that it really was Yun Qiao.

Seeing Yun Qiao's attire, Rong Qian concluded that they had most likely broken up.

That's right. Given Tan Zifeng's current status, Jiang Chengyun wouldn't dare to be disrespectful.

Since they ran into each other, they naturally had to say hello. Rong Qian noticed that Yun Qiao was holding a stack of medical records and asked, "What are you doing here? Who's sick?"
