She entered the room with water, and Mu Jiuchen lazily sat up, looking at her and saying, "Wife, it's so good to have you!"
Jiang Nuan: "..." She was really drunk.
"Drink the water." Jiang Nuan placed the water by his lips.
"Mmm!" Mu Jiuchen was truly thirsty, and after drinking, he felt much more comfortable.
He pulled his wife into his arms, and in a moment of impulse, his lips instantly pressed against hers.
Jiang Nuan: "!!"
Her phone suddenly vibrated, and Jiang Nuan refused, "Husband, you have a call coming in."
Mu Jiuchen looked at her phone with displeasure, as if he had a vendetta against it, his gaze almost murderous.
Jiang Nuan sat in his arms and gently comforted him, "After the call, we'll continue."
Her red lips curved into a smile, her delicate face captivating.
Mu Jiuchen nodded lightly, as if bewitched.
Then he held her and sat together under the covers.
Jiang Nuan saw it was an unfamiliar number and hesitated before answering.
"Hello!"
"I am your maternal grandmother!" A weathered and stern voice came from the other end.
Jiang Nuan: "..."
"Do you need something?" Jiang Nuan asked indifferently.
"Ya Ya said you know a famous doctor, but you don't want to introduce her?" The old lady's questioning voice was full of disdain, which made Jiang Nuan's expression change.
Jiang Nuan asked, "Who is the famous doctor she is referring to?"
The old lady suddenly said angrily, "If Ya Ya knew, would she still ask you? Ya Ya is from a prestigious family, a young lady of noble birth. She asked you because she was giving you face. You should have answered her kindly, but instead, you're putting on airs. Truly the daughter of a nouveau riche, not a good person."
Jiang Nuan: "..."
She felt the old lady's words were so vicious that she wanted to hit someone.
"Since your Jin family is so powerful, why come to me, the daughter of a nouveau riche?" Jiang Nuan retorted with a casual tone.
"You..."
The old lady was so angered that she could barely breathe, "Jiang Nuan, don't go too far. Honestly tell me the doctor's contact information or home address, and I will show you some respect, after all, you are my granddaughter."
"Next time you see your Aunt Jin Tong, kowtow to her and apologize. She is usually reasonable and will forgive you."
"Heh heh..." Jiang Nuan was so angered by the old lady's words that she laughed, "Do I need you to show me respect? Is your Jin family so great? And I have to kowtow and apologize? What did I do wrong?"
"It's clearly your Jin family that has been wholeheartedly humiliating me, and you want me to kowtow and apologize. Old lady, have you lived this long and still don't understand that in this world, people can live perfectly well without each other? Moreover, you are just my maternal grandmother."
Jiang Nuan was very angry. What era was this?
This old lady still had such views.
"You... you little brat." The old lady steadied her mind. Even with a heart full of rage, she could only grit her teeth and endure.
Jin Tong was ill and needed treatment.
"Tell us, what do you want? How much money do you want so that you can tell us the doctor's contact information?"
Jiang Nuan: "Sorry, my husband is the richest man in the world. Do I lack your family's money?"
Jiang Nuan hung up the phone without hesitation, her expression full of pride when she said her husband was the richest man in the world.
Mu Jiuchen smiled proudly, "Wife, I'm truly lucky. I never thought my money could be your pride."
Jiang Nuan muted her phone and set it aside, encircling his neck. She gazed tenderly at his slightly tipsy handsome face, her voice soft, "Of course. You are my strongest backing, my greatest reliance."
As Jiang Nuan spoke, she took the initiative to kiss his lips.
Mu Jiuchen leaned down slightly, drawing her completely into his embrace.
Giving the best response to her passionate advance.
...
North District, Rich Area Villa!
The Jin family's old mansion, though a villa of over a decade, was still majestic.
A European-style villa, its outer walls adorned with colorful lights, made the villa even more magnificent and dazzling at night.
In the villa's hall!
The silver-haired old lady of the Jin family, wearing reading glasses, was aged. However, her elegant and luxurious attire exuded an inviolable majestic aura.
Looking at the phone call that Jiang Nuan had hung up, her chest heaved with anger.
"Grandma, please don't be angry. Jiang Nuan is indifferent and doesn't like to talk. You also know she grew up elsewhere, and her social skills are not very refined. Don't take it to heart."
Jin Mu Ya tried to appease her grandmother from the side.
She had been truly angered by Jiang Nuan when she went to see her that evening.
Jin Tong also knew that Jiang Nuan refused to help, and she said with a defiant attitude, "Mom, we won't beg her. Dr. Song said he can perform surgery. If it doesn't work out, I'll just have the surgery."
Jin Tong was also proud and didn't want to beg the daughter of Jin Yan, who was happier than her.
Jin Yan was the most useless child in their family. When she was young, she was exceptionally beautiful, fragile as if she would shatter if touched.
The way Lu Cheng Si looked at Jin Yan with adoration, she still remembered it clearly.
That man was a legend of their era.
With his own efforts, he had become the foremost family in Modu.
Lu Cheng Si doted on Jin Yan immensely. She had inquired about the Lu family's situation, but every piece of news she heard made her incredibly jealous.
Her sister had everything without doing anything.
While she managed the family business, working herself to death, she was ultimately abandoned by her husband, and her children left her to go abroad. She, who had the best marriage, became the biggest loser.
Her husband had betrayed her and had a child with another woman.
The reason was that she was too overbearing, and he didn't feel any sense of reliance from her.
Clearly, he lacked ability, yet he spewed such hypocritical words, enraging her so much that she divorced that scoundrel.
And her children said that they didn't feel maternal love from her, only her strong side.
If she wasn't strong, how could she have managed such a large family business?
She knew she wasn't wrong; the wrong ones were those who didn't understand her.
The old lady took a deep breath and then said, "Tong Tong, you mustn't get agitated now. Don't be sad. Tomorrow, I will personally go and see that brat Jin Yan."
Jin Tong pursed her lips and said nothing. Facing death, she still chose the path of survival.
Since the old lady was willing to put aside her pride to beg Jin Yan, she didn't need to lower her dignity.
"Mom, thank you!" Jin Tong looked at her mother with gratitude. All these years, it was her mother's support that had seen her through.
"Silly girl, you are my most beloved child. How could I watch you die? Go and rest. I'll go first thing tomorrow morning."
She looked at Jin Mu Ya with a stern gaze, "Xiao Ya, you will accompany me tomorrow."
Jin Mu Ya nodded in agreement, "Okay, Grandma."
The old lady stood up and said, "Tomorrow, we'll also schedule a meeting with Jiang Nuan's husband, Mu Jiuchen. Our Jin family's business has been declining over the past two years. If we can cooperate with Mu Jiuchen, it can help the Jin family recover its former glory within a year."
Jin Tong sneered, "That depends on whether Mu Jiuchen knows how to behave!"
The old lady's expression was solemn, "Mmm!"
...
Jiang Nuan was woken by the ringing of her phone early in the morning. She fumbled for her phone and answered.
"Hello!"
"Hello, Ms. Jiang, this is the police station."
