Chapter 194 The Cry of an Old Friend

"Why are you always bringing up my rare blood type?" Guan Muyun looked at him suspiciously. "What are you up to?"

Nie Zheng's eyes flickered slightly: "Do you want to see Liu Yun?"

Guan Muyun's expression changed drastically: "You've found her?"

"..." Nie Zheng suddenly understood Jiang Liuyun's manic mood over the past twenty years whenever Guan Muyun was mentioned. "What are you digging for? She's alive."

Guan Muyun disregarded the fact that the person in front of her was her love rival. Her eyes reddened, and she grabbed Nie Zheng's sleeve desperately: "Take me to see her! If you're willing to take me to see her, our child will take your surname!"

Nie Zheng shook off his hand with disgust: "She's not feeling well right now; she needs a full blood transfusion."

"A blood transfusion?" Guan Muyun suddenly realized. "It's alright, use my blood! Draw it all from her, and take me there now!"

Imperial Capital Medical Experimental Base.

Jiang Liuyun looked at Guan Muyun, who was clinging to her leg and crying uncontrollably, and asked Nie Zheng with a dark face, "Why did you bring him here?"

"Blood transfusion." Nie Zheng stood aside, calmly watching Guan Muyun, who had been crying for over half an hour and showed no signs of stopping. "Get ready, the surgery is at three o'clock this afternoon."

Jiang Liuyun kicked at Guan Muyun, but missed: "I would rather die than have his blood transfused."

"Waaah, Yunyun, don't worry, my blood is clean! Not only clean, but it boils only for you. There is no blood more suitable for you than mine. What flows in my blood is my love for you. It will definitely fit your body perfectly!" Guan Muyun cried until her eyes were red and swollen, and she clung tightly to her leg. "He said you have a very serious illness. As long as it can save you, he would do anything, even pull out my tendons and peel off my skin, let alone draw blood."

Jiang Liuyun ignored him and looked at Nie Zheng: "Find someone else."

“Nothing is more important than saving you.” Nie Zheng looked at her with a firm expression. “I’ll let you punish me as you see fit afterward. There’s no room for discussion.”

"Waaaaah, Yunyun, your life is the most important! I'm so happy to know you're really alive!" Guan Muyun wiped away her tears and looked at Nie Zheng with a wistful gaze. "Could you please leave first? I want to be alone with Yunyun for a while. It's too bright here with you standing here."

Perhaps thinking about the sacrifices he would make, Nie Zheng paused for a moment, then walked out, closing the door behind him.

Once the outsiders were gone, Guan Muyun cried even harder, burying herself in Jiang Liuyun's arms: "Yunyun, for twenty years, how could you bear to leave me all alone, without even coming to see me? I missed you so much I could hardly bear it anymore. I even dug up the Jiang family's ancestral graves a while ago, hoping I could actually find you, so I could lie next to you and be buried with you, and I wouldn't have to suffer so much from unrequited love... Waaah, unrequited love is so damn painful! This is the greatest suffering I've ever endured in my life!"

Jiang Liuyun glanced at him, but really didn't want to say anything.

Guan Muyun had countless things to say, as if a floodgate had been opened, and he vented them all at once, regardless of whether the timing was right or wrong:
"Yunyun, are you ignoring me because of that misunderstanding? You left so suddenly, I didn't have time to explain. That wicked woman is my eldest brother's mistress. She tried to set me up to seize the position of family head. Don't worry, I'm still clean, very, very clean! My hands haven't been touched by any other woman! Waaah, please don't ignore me!"

Jiang Liuyun was so annoyed he wanted to punch someone: "Can you shut up?"

“I can’t shut it up, I just can’t shut it up! It’s only when I’m talking to you that I feel like this scene is real! Yesterday I saw a dead old woman at the military hospital, and she had the same voice as you. That feeling of hope being ignited and then extinguished was so painful! I’m afraid this is also a hallucination.”

Jiang Liuyun: "..."

"Yunyun, how did you get so badly injured? Don't worry, I know a little miracle doctor. I'll have her treat you! I'll arrange a double room for you. I'll treat your leg and you can treat your body. We'll lie together every minute of every day and never be apart again!"

Jiang Liuyun: "Ha!"

"And what's with that bastard Nie Zheng? That scoundrel is awful. To see you, I had to swallow my pride and pay the price of a child. Once you're better, we'll have a lot more kids, and we'll give the dumbest and ugliest one his surname..."

Jiang Liuyun's forehead veins throbbed: "After all these years, you still have no sense of propriety."

Guan Muyun wiped away her tears through Jiang Liuyun's hospital gown: "Yunyun, this is called staying true to my original intention. Don't worry, I can feel my legs again, and in another six months to a year, I should be fully recovered! Don't despise me, sob sob, and as for that place, don't worry, I can give birth, I absolutely can! You can check it right now if you don't believe me..."

Jiang Liuyun's emotions were about to break down: "Stop talking."

"I can't stop! I can't stop when I see you! Yunyun, all these years, I've searched for you so hard... I've dug up so many graves, consulted masters to arrange ghost marriages, and during the Ghost Festival I carried your clothes all over the streets to summon your spirit. I even kept the stone that you used to hit me when I was little, the one with our names engraved on it..."

...Outside the ward.

Nie Zheng stood casually by the door, a cigarette dangling from his lips, but he didn't light it.

Across from him, a dozen or so villagers from Xinghua Village sat on chairs in the corridor.

The soundproofing wasn't very good; soft moaning could be heard coming from inside, and it continued for two hours straight.

Li Erniang sighed, "I never expected Shubao's scumbag father to be such a character. He's simply... a fighter jet when it comes to relentless pursuit! No wonder he was able to win over Liuyun back then; he could probably melt even an iceberg with his persistence."

Uncle Zhou glanced at Nie Zheng: "You must have put a lot of effort into poaching him?"

"It certainly took quite a bit of trouble," Nie Zheng replied casually. "If he hadn't been so indiscreet back then, I wouldn't have had the chance."

Village Chief Yang thought for a moment and said, "With Shu Bao's scumbag father's tendency to cause trouble, aren't you afraid he'll snatch her back? Liu Yun's decisive and straightforward personality is the kind of person she can't handle the most."

“I’m not afraid,” Nie Zheng said casually. “She has used me countless times over the past twenty years. Whether she wants to take responsibility or not, she has to.”

Li Erniang gave him a deep look and said, "I'll tell you a shortcut: keep a firm grip on Shubao's household registration. For Liuyun, Shubao is her life. If you hold onto Shubao tightly, she won't be able to escape."

Nie Zheng didn't speak, but nodded solemnly.

2:50.

The doctors, dressed in surgical gowns, pushed open the door to the ward. Guan Muyun was pressing her face against Jiang Liuyun's palm, pouring out her heart.

Jiang Liuyun looked even more exhausted than if he had just fought a fierce battle, and he didn't bother to say a word.

Nie Zheng observed her expression and tentatively asked, "Then, shall we have the surgery now?"

"I agree to the surgery. But there's one thing: please get him out of here as soon as the surgery is over. I don't want to see him again." Jiang Liuyun's head was buzzing from the noise, and he was extremely irritable.

Nie Zheng looked at Guan Muyun, who had obediently changed into a hospital gown, and gave a soft "hmm".

Jiang Shu arrived in the evening.

She was carrying several packages sent from Shanghai. She arrived at the medical base at 8 p.m. in the military vehicle that Nie Zheng had personally sent to pick her up.

It was completely dark!

Jiang Liuyun had just undergone surgery and lay weakly in her hospital bed. Jiang Shu felt sorry for her and took her cold hand, asking with concern:

"Mom, are you alright?"

The ward was separated by a curtain on the other side.

Guan Muyun, her face pale, was holding a large bowl of pig liver that Nie Zheng had brought. Before she could even take a bite, she heard the word "Mom."

He was so startled that he dropped the pig liver in his hand with a thud!

Then, under Jiang Shu's astonished gaze, she trembled as she lifted the curtain, revealing a face paler than a ghost, her voice low and menacing:

"You called her 'Mom'?"
