Tears streamed down her face, but she stifled her sobs, her body trembling. No one knew how much she loved her mother. She had been sensible from a young age, understanding the immense hardship her mother had endured for her sake. Without her, her mother would have had a brilliant life, not this wretched, pitiful existence.
After all arrangements for the surgery were made, Jiang Tian received a call from Jiang Jingxiu, asking her to come to the hospital to wait. Jiang Tian agreed verbally, but in reality, she was already at the airport, preparing to flee.
It was a joke; how could she, who hated Jiang Mi so much, possibly save her daughter? Now that Jiang Mi was dead, if she could get rid of Jiang Mianmian, that burden, her uncle could wash away the two stains and start his new life.
Everything she did was for her uncle's good! He would be grateful to her in the future!
Jiang Tian thought everything was going perfectly, but Tang Xinran, sitting beside her, was very nervous, afraid of any last-minute changes before boarding. She felt uneasy, her eyelids even twitching. With only a few minutes left until boarding, her heart finally settled a little.
Jiang Jingxiu stood on the second floor of the airport, watching Jiang Tian in the waiting area. His heart was ice-cold. He thought that killing Jiang Mi would make Jiang Tian stop, but who knew she was completely devoid of humanity, even wanting Mianmian's life!
Since that was the case, he had no need to show mercy!
Boarding had already begun. Jiang Tian said, "See, I told you, it's fine. My uncle would never dream I'd sneak away, so don't worry."
"Yes, I was being overly cautious. Let's go play for a longer time this trip and come back. By then, that little bastard will be dead," Tang Xinran said with a smile.
"Right, let's play for a year before returning," Jiang Tian agreed.
When the ticket checker looked at them and let them pass, Tang Xinran finally breathed a sigh of relief, a gleam of excitement flashing in her eyes. Jiang Tian also wore a broad smile.
But as they walked into the boarding gate, they froze, their expressions turning to stone when they saw the man standing in the middle of the passage. They were so scared they went pale, as if they had seen a ghost.
Jiang Tian stammered, "U... Uncle, what a coincidence, you're here too."
"Bro... Brother-in-law, why are you here?" Tang Xinran trembled with fear.
"If I didn't come here to catch you, wouldn't my daughter be left to die?" Jiang Jingxiu's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Uncle, you're mistaken. I just wanted to go home for a visit and will be back soon," Jiang Tian's lie flowed effortlessly.
"How come I didn't know your home was in Bali?" Jiang Jingxiu's smile vanished, replaced by coldness.
"Uncle, I'm doing this for your own good! If you have a burden like that, how can you get married later? Only when that burden is gone can you remain the dream lover of all women!" Jiang Tian said in a flustered and anxious tone.
"Jiang Tian, have you forgotten your agreement with me! Since we made an agreement, you must abide by it. Don't you have even that much sense!" Jiang Jingxiu's expression turned even colder. Thinking that by keeping his promise to her, he had indirectly caused Jiang Mi's death, his heart felt as if it had been blown to smithereens, a bloody mess.
"But I'm doing this for your good too! What do you need that burden for? Anyway, she's sick and dying, just let her die!"
