”You’re starting to accuse me now, but where were you when I needed your concern?”

”In your eyes, there’s only your husband, your daughter? Have you ever thought about me? If I hadn’t been desperate, would I have ended up on this path?”

”Since your birthday, do you know what kind of life I’ve been living every day? Suffering from others’ scorn and ridicule, you think I wanted to file for bankruptcy for the company? That was my life’s work. But if I didn’t, it would fall apart sooner or later, so it’s better to end it gracefully and keep some dignity for myself.”

”The entire You Family was supported by me, what right do you have to accuse me! Didn’t I support the You Family so you could have face?”

”Nonsense! Now you’re saying it was for me?” You Yunzhi’s hands trembled with anger, ”What about what happened at my birthday banquet, inciting outsiders to drug Xiaoxiao? Was that for my good, for the You Family?”

”And now you’ve found another unrelated woman to ruin Xiaoxiao’s relationship?”

”Even risking your life for some self-inflicted suffering scheme—was all this for my good?”

”You’re clearly just finding excuses for your selfish filth, it’s utterly shameless!”

...

All for personal gain, yet you insist on using others as a pretext.

This made You Yunzhi tremble with rage. After all, there’s a blood relationship. You say to sever ties, but breaking bones still leaves the tendons connected. If she wasn’t heartbroken seeing him like this, it would be a lie.

Probably due to the rush of anger, You Yunzhi suddenly felt a blackness before her eyes and her body swayed.

Jiang Yanting, who was nearby, quickly reached out to steady her back, ”Madam Si, it’s not worth it to get worked up over someone like this.”

”Thank you, I’m fine.” You Yunzhi waved her hand.

”Please sit for a moment.” Jiang Yanting looked towards a nearby nurse, ”Miss...”

The nurse hurried over, checking her slightly, patting her back to help her breathe more easily, while Jiang Yanting poured her a glass of water.

”Madam Si, are you really alright?” Jiang Jinsang also went to check on her.

You Yunzhi’s face was pale, and she shook her head slightly.

While everyone’s attention was focused on You Yunzhi, You Hongxian had already slowly gotten off the bed.

With Yang Yiyi detained by the police, it means that the police will soon find him. He can’t stay in the hospital, as that would be waiting to die; he needs to escape.

”Mr. You, you’re getting out of bed? Your leg...” The orderly who was by his side was specifically there to attend to You Hongxian. Seeing him trying to get out of bed, she immediately pushed the wheelchair over.

”Get out of the way!” You Hongxian’s leg was bruised, just superficial pain, and the wheelchair was unnecessary.

He kicked the wheelchair aside and, wearing his slippers the wrong way, tried to run outside.

Jiang Jinsang frowned and reached out to grab him...

But he was a step too slow, just grasping the hem of his clothes, and with a slight effort, You Hongxian broke free and ran directly outside.

Jiang Jinsang took a deep breath. What a madman. With Beijing being this big, given the forensic techniques and surveillance today, where could he run? As long as the police knew who he was, even if he ran to the ends of the earth, he could be brought back.

Compared to catching him, Jiang Jinsang was more concerned about You Yunzhi’s health.

The last struggle of a trapped animal was useless and would only add an additional crime of evading arrest in the upcoming trial sentencing.

Utterly stupid!

”He...” You Yunzhi pointed to the door.

”Don’t worry about him, just calm down for now.”

You Yunzhi’s heart was filled with mixed emotions. Her brother almost infuriated her to faint, yet he did not show a hint of concern. Instead, it was the Jiang brothers who showed her all kinds of care, proving that sometimes, blood ties really are...

Better to not have them at all!

You Hongxian reached the elevator and kept pressing the down button. The high-end ward was on the top floor, over 20 floors up. If he were to take the stairs, he’d practically die, especially with the lingering pain in his leg; climbing was out of the question.

He turned his head to look back, surprised no one was chasing him?

It was just his luck; an elevator was slowly coming up, almost at his floor. He kept pressing the down button until a ”ding” sounded, indicating the elevator’s arrival.

No one was coming after him, and he was unexpectedly hopeful that he might escape today.
