"If you really want to thank me, kiss me," Jin Lan leaned in and pointed to his cheek.
Jiang Yan poked his face and shyly lowered her head to continue eating breakfast.
Jin Lan: "..."
Forget it, seeing she was in a bad mood, he would let her off for now.
But, a duck that had already been put into his mouth, he didn't want it to fly away.
"It's New Year's Eve today, are you going to spend Spring Festival with your family?" Jiang Yan asked.
"I'm alone, what family do I have? I'll spend it by myself. Of course, if you're willing to stay, we two single people can share a meal." Jin Lan said with a smile.
"Uh... okay." Jiang Yan had wanted to say that he had a sister, but thinking that she had nowhere else to go, she decided to be selfish for once.
So after breakfast, the two decided to go shopping and make dumplings for lunch.
Jiang's mother couldn't contact her daughter at all, so medical staff came to give her a physical examination and brought her dumplings.
Jiang's mother was in a bad mood and finally went to her room to take out her last set of treasured jewelry. She had originally intended to keep it for emergencies, but now she had to sell it to her elder daughter.
She called an old friend to see if they wanted to buy it. The friend offered a very low price, almost one-tenth of its value. Jiang's mother couldn't accept it and hung up the phone.
Later, she asked the Jiang family lawyer to find a buyer. The lawyer directly contacted Jin Lan, and Jin Lan said he would buy it.
The lawyer then offered a relatively reasonable price. Jiang's mother immediately sold it for her elder daughter. The price wasn't high, but it was half the value, which was much better than one-tenth.
After receiving the money, Jiang's mother immediately sent it to her elder daughter.
After making the call, Jiang's mother received all the truth about Jiang Huan having dropped out of school more than two years ago and fooling around outside.
Jiang's mother didn't believe it at all and thought it was a scam. But thinking that she had sold her most precious possessions just to get tuition and living expenses for her, she called to ask what was going on.
Jiang Huan tried to quibble at first, then admitted that she wasn't academically inclined and couldn't study, so she had dropped out long ago.
Jiang's mother felt a blockage in her chest and almost fainted. She yelled at Jiang Huan, "Do you know the family is bankrupt? I sold the wedding ring between your father and me to get that million yuan for you! How could you lie to me like this!"
"Ah? Bankrupt? Then how will I live in the future!" Jiang Huan didn't care if the family was bankrupt, if her father was in prison, or if her mother had surgery to save her life. She only cared about her own quality of life not decreasing.
"You..."
"Mom, your ring is quite valuable, it couldn't have only sold for a million yuan, right? Just transfer all the money to me, I'm planning to start a business." Jiang Huan asked for it righteously.
Jiang's mother was almost angered to death, unable to catch her breath. She angrily hung up the phone and tried to call her younger daughter's mobile. Jiang Yan's phone was still off. She remembered the doctor who came in the morning had left a number, so she had to call the doctor. In less than ten minutes, the doctor rushed over and gave her emergency treatment, stabilizing her condition.
Jiang's mother truly regretted it, but she never expected her elder daughter to have been lying to her all along. Thinking about her attitude towards her younger daughter yesterday, having not only slapped her but also called her cold-blooded, she felt immense regret. But now she didn't even know where her younger daughter was, so apologizing was impossible.
...
After Ye Wan woke up, Gu Yunting carried her to wash up. When he carried her downstairs, Ye Wan saw her younger brother playing with Xiao Juzi in the living room. She blinked her eyes, thinking she was hallucinating.
