Lu Qiaoyi, already dizzy from the beating, instantly calmed down upon hearing Number One's words.
She slowly sat up from the ground, sneering at Number One, "I know you. Your codename is Number One. When I was taken away last time, did you really not know?"
Number One understood her meaning and his smile deepened, "I know. Can you still escape?"
He held a paper cup, looking at her swollen face, and smiled, "This face of yours should be returned to the real young lady."
Madam Ye and Chairman Ye, who were in shock, finally came to their senses.
Madam Ye looked apologetically at Ye Anran, who was sitting in the wheelchair, "Ranran, I'm sorry, Mom..."
Ye Anran, however, was very cold, "Let's talk about everything after this is resolved."
Ye Anran glanced at her, her delicate brows furrowed with a coldness.
Madam Ye's heart sank.
Was Ranran blaming her for not recognizing her own daughter?
On stage, Number One had two people restrain Lu Qiaoyi and splashed wine on her face.
"Ah..." Lu Qiaoyi's eyes instantly stung, making it impossible to open them.
Number One, however, knew her eyes were uncomfortable. He first wiped around her eyes before wiping her face. A few minutes later, her face returned to its original appearance as Lu Qiaoyi.
Everyone: "..."
Even Ye Anran was surprised by such skill.
Lu Qiaoyi, who had been disguised as her, was indeed exactly like her.
"Lu Qiaoyi, why did you do this? Why come to the Ye family instead of the Lu family?" Madam Ye was stunned; it was truly Lu Qiaoyi.
Lu Qiaoyi's face was ashen, but she still wouldn't let these people rest, "Because the Ye family and the Lu family have a feud. I originally wanted to use the Ye family for revenge, haha..."
Lu Qiaoyi burst into mad laughter.
Her laughter was chilling, making the hair on people's backs stand on end.
"You woman..." Chairman Ye was so angry he couldn't speak.
"Lu Qiaoyi, even for revenge, why did you cripple me?" Ye Lu Lin didn't understand why Lu Qiaoyi had crippled him.
Lu Qiaoyi's laughter stopped abruptly. She told him the cruel truth, "I originally intended to cripple you, then have Jiang Nuan treat you, and then I would secretly poison you. You would die, and your wife, who loved you to the bone, would definitely kill Jiang Nuan with her own hands. But my plan was not successful, and Jiang Nuan suddenly left Modu."
"But just then, Old Madam Wang personally came to our door. How could I not use her well? I had actually agreed with Jiang Nuan that she would come to treat you the next day. With her medical skills, she could definitely make you stand up. But I didn't want you to stand up; I wanted you to die, haha..."
Lu Qiaoyi felt her plan was flawless, but she didn't get a chance to execute it.
Ye Lu Lin was too shocked to speak.
How could someone be so vicious!
Everyone: "..."
"Good heavens, I've never seen such a vicious person!"
"Isn't that the truth? I've lived for 60 years and never encountered something like this."
"If this Lu Qiaoyi had just behaved herself, with the way the Lu couple are, even if they found their biological daughter, they wouldn't have treated her badly!"
"Indeed, greed is a knife over one's head. She deserved this."
The crowd at the scene buzzed with discussion.
Lu Qiaoyi heard some of it. She suddenly stopped laughing and looked lost as she stared at the calmly composed Jiang Nuan. This woman, no matter when, could always remain so calm and composed.
"Jiang Nuan, if you hadn't appeared, how good would that have been? I would still be the little princess of the Lu family, with my beloved brothers, and my loving parents. I would have lived very happily. But your appearance made me lose everything."
"The man I like, and the family who loves me, have all left me. All of this is because of you. Why didn't you die? Why did you come back alive!" She roared the last few words with all her might.
Jiang Nuan spoke unhurriedly, "No one has left you, and no one can take away what belongs to you. Everything is your own doing. Your parents' love for you did not change because I returned. They still love you, and you are precisely the one who doesn't love them. You could hurt them and frame them as you pleased. You are where you are today because of your own greed. Sometimes, wanting too much causes you to lose everything."
"Ah..." Lu Qiaoyi, understanding Jiang Nuan's words, cried out in despair.
Sometimes, one understood the道理, but unfortunately, one still couldn't stop.
Lu Qiaoyi was taken away, and the hall fell silent.
Mu Jiuchen walked towards his beloved, taking her hand. Their eyes met, filled with tenderness.
Jiang Nuan looked down at Ye Anran and said, "Miss Ye, I've helped you this much."
Ye Anran slowly turned around and looked at her, smiling sincerely, "Jiang Nuan, thank you! Your husband and wife saved me. I will live with gratitude for the rest of my life. If you need anything, you can contact me anytime. As long as I can help, I will not refuse!"
Jiang Nuan looked at Xu Muqiao, who was walking over, and smiled, "Then I'll wait for Miss Ye's wedding invitation."
Ye Anran smiled shyly and looked at Xu Muqiao, who had come to her side, "Okay, Nuannuan, I hope we can be friends in the future."
Jiang Nuan extended her hand, her smile slight, but it was clear she was in a good mood, "Hello, Miss Ye, my name is Jiang Nuan."
Ye Anran smiled happily, her eyes red as she shook her hand, her voice choked with emotion, "Nuannuan, hello, I am Ye Anran, and this is my boyfriend, Xu Muqiao."
The three of them smiled at each other, their sincerity evident in their eyes.
"We're leaving first," Jiang Nuan said.
"Okay! Let's meet again another day." Ye Anran took a deep breath, suppressing her tears.
Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen left hand in hand.
Ye Lu Lin looked deeply at Jiang Nuan's retreating figure. Could she really make him stand up?
He had been to many hospitals, and all had said it was hopeless.
Could Jiang Nuan really do it? He would meet her tomorrow. He would know the truth about today's events, which was also told to him by Jiang Nuan.
With the matter concluded, Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen returned directly to the Lu family.
"Nuannuan," Meng Yuan rushed towards Jiang Nuan as soon as she saw her.
Jiang Nuan was startled and quickly supported her, "Oh my goodness, Yuan Yuan, what have you been eating? Your pregnant belly with twins is as big as my belly with triplets."
Meng Yuan turned to look at He Mingrun and said, "It's all him. He feeds me very well every day."
He Mingrun: "..."
Is this his fault?
Yun Xia also walked over with concern and asked, "Nuannuan, have things been resolved?"
Jiang Nuan looked at her worried friend and smiled, "Xia Xia, don't worry, it's all resolved."
Jiang Nuan looked at Yun Qing in Li Qingshuo's arms, smiled, and walked over, "Quick, quick, let me hold my godson. He's so handsome."
Jiang Nuan took the little Yun Qing. The little guy seemed to recognize her as well. He stretched out a tender finger and put it into Jiang Nuan's mouth, making giggling sounds.
"Hehe..." Jiang Nuan was overjoyed, "Since you're all here, how about we have a barbecue today?"
Li Qingshuo: "You're the host, you decide."
Jiang Nuan already had a plan in mind. She held Little Yun Qing and sat on the sofa, playing with the child.
Suddenly, an anxious voice came from outside the door, "Nuannuan, are you there?"
