On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

Nancheng First Hospital.

Special care ward.

Apart from the occasional sound of police sirens blaring from law enforcement vehicles.

The noise outside the window finally subsided.

Liu Ruyan sat by the hospital bed.

Looking at my parents who were already fast asleep, my nerves, which had been tense all day, finally relaxed.

The Nalan family truly lives up to its reputation as one of the top families in the southern city.

When the city’s medical resources were overwhelmed and even paralyzed.

They easily arranged a double VIP ward for Mr. and Mrs. Liu, and even brought in two experts to take turns caring for them.

This moment.

Liu Ruyan felt a mix of emotions.

This was something she, as the daughter, should have done.

In the end, he found himself unable to do anything.

even……

Even her ex-husband.

My younger sister invited them all.

Not to mention the Nalan family that followed.

Fortunately, it ended well.

"call……"

Liu Ruyan quickly composed herself.

After letting out a long sigh, he still dialed his sister Liu Fuyao's number.

No matter what, I need to let my sister know I'm safe.

The phone rang several times before it was answered.

The background noise was very loud; it sounded like a lot of people were shouting, and there were also sounds of metal clashing.

"Feed? Sis?"

Liu Fuyao's voice was a little breathless, as if she had just finished strenuous exercise.

"Fuyao, it's me."

Liu Ruyan lowered her voice, afraid of waking her parents.

"Mom and Dad are fine now. They're in the hospital. The doctor said they just need some rest, so you don't need to worry."

"Really? That's great!"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Fuyao visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Nalan family has arrived, right? That's good, that's good."

Hearing the lightness in her sister's tone, Liu Ruyan felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Once upon a time, she was the eldest daughter who made the family the proudest. She married a good husband, had a respectable job, and was top-notch in both figure and appearance, always the center of attention wherever she went.

At that time, my younger sister was just a little girl still in school.

But now?

With just one phone call, her sister could mobilize the top wealthy families in Nancheng, and even get her ex-husband, who was as cold as ice to her, to come and rescue her immediately.

And now it seems that all I can do is cry and beg for help.

"Fuyao, you're over there..."

"Is this training?"

Liu Ruyan couldn't help but ask a question.

"Um."

Liu Fuyao's voice became slightly serious.

"The provincial competition is in a few days. This competition is very fierce. Talents from dozens of cities in the entire Jiangnan Province have come. Only ten people will be selected in the end."

"If I can win and make it into the top ten, I can represent our Jiangnan Province in the national competition."

Listening to my sister's words.

Liu Ruyan subconsciously looked down at herself.

Her once proud, long, beautiful legs now look somewhat disheveled, encased in dusty pants.

Even when sitting, her buttocks, which were still perky and full, now appeared somewhat sagged due to fatigue.

She suddenly felt like a complete failure.

"come on."

Liu Ruyan bit her lip, and it took her a long time to squeeze out these words.

"You can definitely do it, I believe in you."

"Yes! Don't worry, sis, I'll definitely make our family proud!"

Liu Fuyao seems to be really busy.

"Sis, I'm not talking to you anymore. The professor called us to gather. Take care of Mom and Dad. I'll call you back when I have time."

"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."

hang up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone from her phone, Liu Ruyan stared blankly at the black screen for a long while.

Her slightly haggard face was reflected on the screen.

The confidence and pride I once had seem to have been worn away by this series of setbacks.

"I can't keep being so颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless,

Liu Ruyan took a deep breath, stood up, and walked to the window.

Although he lost Lu Chuan, he lost his job and even his reputation was ruined.

But she still has hands and feet.

My younger sister is working hard for her future.

As the older sister, I can't just be a useless person who only knows how to cry, right?

"Lu Chuan..."

Liu Ruyan gazed out the window, murmuring to herself.

"I'll prove to you that I can pull myself together, that I can..."

"I'm good enough for you again."

……

at the same time.

Jiangnan Province, Training Base of the Provincial Martial Arts Association.

This is a huge open-air training ground, surrounded by towering searchlights that illuminate the entire area as bright as day.

Liu Fuyao had just stuffed her phone back into her sports backpack when she turned around and frowned.

Five or six people surrounded her from behind.

Three men and two women.

They were wearing matching training uniforms.

They all had the word "Jiangnan" embroidered on their chests, which was the mark of local contestants from the provincial capital.

The boy in the lead had a buzz cut, was tall, and had an undisguised look of contempt and provocation in his eyes.

"Hey, isn't this the genius girl from our southern city?"

The man with the buzz cut looked Liu Fuyao up and down with disdain.

His gaze roamed unabashedly over Liu Fuyao.

I have to say, this girl is absolutely stunning.

Even in loose-fitting workout clothes, her amazing physique couldn't be hidden.

Especially her legs, which are long and straight.

It's simply the best of the best.

Add to that her cool and aloof face, and even when she's angry, she exudes a captivating charm that makes you want to conquer her.

Unfortunately, I offended someone I shouldn't have.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you crying at home?"

Seeing that Liu Fuyao did not answer, the man with the buzz cut sneered.

"Liu Fuyao, I advise you to be sensible."

"Miss Jiang sent someone to see you a couple of days ago. That means she thinks highly of you and wants to give you a chance to be her sparring partner."

"You're really something, daring to refuse when I offer you such a favor?"

"Does he really think that just because he came from a rural place like Nancheng and won first place, he's some kind of prodigy in the provincial capital?"

A girl with dyed blonde hair next to them also chimed in with sarcastic remarks.

"Exactly, why don't they take a piss and look at themselves in the mirror?"

"A mere eight-star martial artist like you isn't even worthy of carrying our shoes. It's your good fortune that Miss Jiang is willing to take you in."

"Don't think that being pretty is useful. In the world of martial arts, fists are the only true measure of strength."

Liu Fuyao looked coldly at the group of people.

Of course she knew who had sent these people.

Jiang Yueyao.

The daughter of the Governor-General of Jiangnan Province is also the top seed in this competition of 100 cities.

Since I came to the training camp.

That woman always disliked him and constantly picked fights with him, both openly and secretly.

The reason was ridiculous: simply because the coach praised her talent and stole her thunder.

"Are you done talking?"

Liu Fuyao's voice was clear and cold.

"Get out of the way after you've finished speaking. A good dog doesn't block the way."

"Who are you calling a dog?!"

The man with the buzz cut's expression changed, and he abruptly took a step forward.

"You shameless woman, you don't know what's good for you, do you?"

"Let me tell you, it was Miss Jiang who sent us to 'give you some pointers'."

"Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame us for not being chivalrous!"

Upon hearing this...

Liu Fuyao's lips suddenly turned cold.

……
