The emergency room doctor came to Jiang Momo again to sign the informed consent form for tracheal surgery.

"The patient is currently unable to breathe on his own, so we must take effective treatment measures."

Even breathing has become so difficult.

Seeing the atmosphere between the two, the other party took the opportunity to explain the illness.

"The surgery absolutely cannot be delayed any longer. In fact, the best scenario is to have the surgery done right now. If the family's financial situation allows, they should prepay the surgery fee now."

How much do you want?

Even though she knew she couldn't face that number, Jiang Momo still asked.

This time, it was Wen Shiyi who answered.

"The surgery is major; at least 50% needs to be paid in advance, which is 1.5 million."

One million five hundred thousand.

She doesn't even have 15,000 yuan on her right now.

Where are we going to get 1.5 million?!

But if there's no money, Grandma won't even live to see tomorrow, and she absolutely can't just watch Grandma die.

"I'll go raise the money right now."

After Jiang Momo finished speaking, she turned to leave.

No matter what it takes, she has to save her grandmother.

"Momo, wait a moment."

Wen Shiyi seemed to have something to say, but changed his mind before he could finish.

"I still have some here..."

"Senior Wen, you've already helped me enough, I can't take your money." Jiang Momo calmed her breathing, "I just need you to help me stall a little longer."

Seeing Jiang Momo's resolute attitude, Wen Shiyi had no choice but to give up for now.

"I do have another treatment method. Although it can't completely cure the problem, it can definitely help Grandma prolong her life for a couple more days."

"It's just that... if this kind of medicine is used, the patient may suffer even more."

In other words, no matter which method is used, Jiang Momo doesn't have much time left.

"Would you like to go in and see Grandma?"

Jiang Momo shook her head and refused.

"No."

She was afraid that seeing her grandmother would cause her to break down even more, and she couldn't afford to collapse now.

Another critical condition notice was handed to Jiang Momo by the doctor. She signed it, but this time the handwriting was illegible.

She still managed to force a smile.

"I can raise the money, wait for me."

"……good."

After a brief conversation with Wen Shiyi, Jiang Momo temporarily left the emergency room and went to the quietest stairwell in the hospital.

The stairwell was dark; at least, the corner where she was was swallowed by darkness.

Jiang Momo took out her phone and scrolled through her contacts.

She saw Li Jiuyuan's name, but quickly swiped away.

Even though I thought of Yin Qiongyun, I still couldn't bring myself to press the call button.

Jiang Momo suddenly felt ridiculous.

Having lived for so many years, I can't even afford a sum of money to save my life, and I don't want to be a burden on those around me.

Finally, her gaze settled on Jiang's mother's number.

It seems that only the Jiang family couple has that much money now.

The phone rang in the stairwell. It took Jiang's mother a long time to answer the call, and she immediately launched into a tirade of abuse.

"Jiang Momo! How dare you call me? What kind of random guy did you hook up with last time? Weiwei saw you and cried all the way home. Did you bully her?!"

"Let me tell you, if you get sick outside and come home, don't let President Li find out, or you'll ruin the entire Jiang family!"

Jiang Momo didn't have time to listen to her finish cursing before urgently saying, "Give me some money, transfer it to me now."

Jiang's mother thought she had misheard.

"What are you talking about, sending money?"

It was obvious that Jiang Weiwei had been listening to the whole thing.

She realized what had happened almost instantly, her tone sarcastic with a hint of schadenfreude.

"Oh, could it be that the old hag has had a relapse? How come she's still alive? If she were dead, you wouldn't have to beg us for money like this anymore."

Jiang Momo suppressed the urge to curse back.

For her grandmother's sake, she was willing to lower her dignity in front of these people.

"I just need 1.5 million... Please, just give me the money, I'll do anything you ask."

"You can do anything?"

Jiang's mother was so angry that she burst out laughing.

"Jiang Momo, what right do you have to negotiate with us? We told you to get pregnant with President Li's child quickly, but so many days have passed and there's still no sign of it."

"If you don't have a child, we won't give you a single penny. If you have to blame someone, blame your womb for being unproductive. Instead of going out and flirting with men, you should come home and try to please President Li."

Children? Children again!

In their eyes, is a living, breathing grandmother less valuable than a child who hasn't even existed yet?

"Consider it a loan from you. I'll pay you back later, and interest is fine too."

Her tone was so humble it was almost down to earth.

Jiang's mother was about to scold her when Jiang Weiwei interrupted her.

"Mom, please let me talk to her."

The phone was handed to Jiang Weiwei, whose teasing voice came through.

"Jiang Momo, I can lend you money, as long as you hand over that bracelet you mentioned before. I can give you not only 1.5 million, but even 3 million."

Jiang Weiwei assumed that Jiang Momo would agree readily, given how much she cared about her grandmother.

Unexpectedly, she remained silent for a long time.

That bracelet was given to her by Old Madam Li; it was priceless, and she would have to return it later.

If it's given to Jiang Weiwei, there's no way to get it back.

On one side was her grandmother, and on the other side was the old lady who was also very kind to her—the Li family.

Jiang Momo hesitated and struggled, and finally hung up the phone.

She couldn't do that. She had already deceived the Li family, and now she couldn't just hand over their things to Jiang Weiwei.

As for the surgery fees, she'll think of another way herself.

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Weiwei never expected that Jiang Momo would dare to hang up on her.

"What's wrong, Weiwei?"

Seeing that her daughter's expression was off, Jiang's mother anxiously asked what was wrong.

Jiang Weiwei, suppressing her urge to smash her phone, finally spoke up, her anger blazing: "Jiang Momo actually hung up the phone!"

"Mom, do you think she might actually be in love with President Li and wants to monopolize both the bracelet and the position of Mrs. Li?"

The thought that this bitch dared to provoke her again and again almost drove Jiang Weiwei to the brink of madness.

Jiang's mother patted her back to comfort her, using a tone completely different from when she spoke to Jiang Momo earlier.

"Weiwei, don't worry. It's bad for your health to upset the baby. See how long she can hold on. In the end, she'll still have to come crying to us for help."

"mom!"

Jiang Weiwei threw her phone on the sofa, thought about it for a while, and became angrier and angrier.

"I can't wait any longer. Since she still has the nerve to refuse us, it means she still has the strength to breathe. I have to teach her a lesson."

Jiang's mother felt that her daughter's actions were far too heartless.

But the love in my heart still overcame that rationality.

She nodded and hugged Jiang Weiwei.

"Okay, Mom will arrange this for you."

"I'll definitely help you get revenge."

Jiang Weiwei snuggled closer to her mother, no longer concealing the ruthlessness in her eyes.

"Jiang Momo, you just wait."
