Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

That's how people only learn to cherish things after they've lost them, and only then do they feel deep regret.

In ward 1314, Lu Jinnan hadn't expected Ji Hancheng to let Lu Man off so easily. He was afraid of causing big problems, so he let Lu Man explain herself, which had a sense of surrendering herself.

But he didn't know that Ji Hancheng wanted Lu Man to go to the slums of H country, and thought it was just about getting out of the capital.

Looking at the man on the bed who was still looking at his phone, Lu Jinnan hesitated for a long time before asking, "Are you really letting her go? You don't plan to pursue this any further?" Actually, Lu Jinnan still wanted to confirm, after all, Xu Zhong wouldn't live much longer, and relatives would eventually soften their hearts. With the titles of cousin and god-sister, at this moment, Lu Jinnan felt that his grandfather was really sick, digging such a big hole, he must have lost his mind.

If it weren't for Grandpa inexplicably making her the Lu family's adopted granddaughter, would so many troubles have occurred? She cursed Old Master Lu a thousand times in her heart.

The man on the bed coldly remarked, "Going to H country would suit her well; it's a good deed."

Lu Jinnan seemed to have heard something incredible, "Damn, why don't you just say you've become an immortal?"

H country realized something was wrong, "You're not going to send her to the slums, are you?" Lu Jinnan asked incredulously.

"Hmm, let's see what she's capable of."

Lu Jinnan asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Ji Hancheng did not answer Lu Jinnan's question again, and focused on studying the mobile phone.

Xu Mingkai explained to Lu Jinnan from the side, "Miss Lu said she could explain the misunderstanding from back then to the young mistress, and she guaranteed it would be effective. Moreover, Miss Lu did more than one wrong thing. She also pinned the drugging incident on Young Master Ji, making the young mistress think that Young Master Ji and Miss Lu were in cahoots. Therefore, Young Master Ji suspects that this factor is a major reason why the young mistress left."

Lu Jinnan couldn't think of any new words to curse Lu Man, but then he thought, "Why did you give the information to Lu Man? Shouldn't you have explained it to your sister-in-law immediately?"

The man on the bed was filled with regret and powerless to refute it, but he couldn't let Lu Jinnan see through it.

Last night, he wondered several times if things would have turned out differently if he had given her the information back then.

But back then, no one knew that he would one day truly fall in love with this unexpected woman, or that she was someone he was forced to marry.

Xu Mingkai explained, "At the time, Mr. Ji asked me to return the information to Miss Lu. His apparent intention was to encourage Miss Lu to restrain herself, to remind her that Mr. Ji knew everything she had done, and to hope that she would stop." But it seems that Miss Lu and the young mistress both misunderstood.

Lu Jinnan disagreed, "Young Master Ji, that's wrong of you. Your newlywed wife was drugged and framed by her nominal ex-girlfriend, and instead of giving the information to your sister-in-law, you handed it over to the nominal one. Doesn't that make people think you're protecting a mistress? If I were your sister-in-law, I would also think you're in cahoots with Lu Man. This misunderstanding is too deep." After saying that, Lu Jinnan shook his head repeatedly. Based on his years of experience with women, he was certain that his sister-in-law thought the same thing as him.

The person on the bed frowned. "You think so too?"

Lu Jinnan replied with an air of certainty, "Of course! Take you for example. Let me give you an example. If Su Yu stabbed you in the back, and your sister-in-law covered for him and even sent him the information, how would you feel?"

Ji Hancheng was already angry just hearing Lu Jinnan's analogy, let alone when it actually happened; his face was visibly grim.

Lu Jinnan could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his face. "See? See? It hasn't even happened yet, and you're already angry. So there's probably a reason why your sister-in-law divorced you. You're going to have a long way to go in winning her back. My advice, my love expert, is that you should apologize first and then try to resolve the issues between you and your sister-in-law."

Lu Jinnan began to recline on the sofa, adopting the demeanor of a relationship guru.

Ji Hancheng pursed his lips and remained silent. He wanted to talk to her too, but she wouldn't give him a chance. They'd been staying there for several days, and he still hadn't had a chance to make things clear.

Seeing the person on the bed staring blankly at their phone without moving, Lu Jinnan got up out of curiosity to check, only to be met with a sharp glare. But quick-witted Lu Jinnan had already figured out what they were looking at and burst out laughing, "So you've been studying this app all this time? Don't know how to apologize to your sister-in-law?"

The man felt comfortable with Lu Jinnan's constant use of the term "sister-in-law." Hearing his barbed words, he wasn't angry at all, and his gaze softened considerably. After a pause, he asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

This question made Lu Jinnan's heart race, and his expression became particularly smug. "Yes, go for it."

Xu Mingkai, standing to the side, couldn't help but think that Ji Shao's question to Lu Shao was so unreliable, as if he were grasping at straws in desperation.

Ji Hancheng wanted to say, "Could he have been any more rambling?" and his gaze turned more unfriendly.

Xu Mingkai straightened up and said, "Young Master Ji, why don't you find an opportunity to explain Miss Lu's situation to the young mistress first? If the misunderstanding isn't cleared up, the young mistress will have feelings for you. You won't be able to get close to her, let alone pursue her."

Lu Jinnan also agreed with Xu Mingkai's suggestion. There was no point in chasing after him if the misunderstanding remained unresolved. However, he noticed that Ji Hancheng looked a little confused and helpless.

He leaned closer and tentatively asked, "You don't not have your sister-in-law's contact information, do you?"

Ji Hancheng: I do have them, but they've all been blocked. How could I say that? It's too embarrassing.

But who is Lu Jinnan? He guessed it immediately. He was much more knowledgeable about matters between men and women than Ji Hancheng. "Haha, Young Master Ji, you're such a failure. How come your sister-in-law is so arrogant and looks down on you..."

The second half of his sarcastic remark was choked back by her piercing gaze. "Ahem, how about I ask Miss Su for you, what's the root of your relationship with your sister-in-law? How can you win her over effectively?"

Unexpectedly, his haphazard approach turned out to be the right one. Xu Mingkai said, "Young Master Lu, I think your method is feasible. Miss Su is the young mistress's best friend, so she must know everything."

Lu Jinnan was a little dissatisfied. "Damn, are you really planning to offer me up to scout out enemy positions for you? What if she takes a liking to me? That woman is ruthless."

Ji Hancheng smiled wickedly, "Double reimbursement, and ten times for those who are injured."

Lu Jinnan: ".............." It's his fault for being so cheeky; now he has no choice but to go.

Su Xue had just finished get off work and came upstairs to look for Tang Junyao, only to find that she wasn't there. The gossipy and talkative girl was currently leaning over the service desk chatting with a few nurses. "This 13th floor is quite quiet. No wonder so many people want to come here. The outpatient department is much busier than this, with a lot more work to do."

The nurses at the service desk felt the same way. Although the residents on this floor were mostly older men who were more difficult to manage, it was generally quite easy for them, as most of them had their own caregivers or family members who were caregivers.

Take the pregnant woman from a few days ago, for example. Although she was a victim of domestic violence, her husband's family still paid for her to stay in a VIP ward. The mother of that family was very kind and polite, and she was very easy to get along with.

Such a good family, suffering such a cruel fate, has garnered sympathy from many nurses.

A nurse asked with a bright smile, "Dr. Su, does your Dr. Tang know that fake heiress who was trending on social media this morning?"

Because Su Xue frequently visited Tang Junyao, everyone on this floor knew her and would refer to her as "Dr. Tang."

Su Xue's eyes widened. "What do you mean? That Lu Man was here?"

The nurse blinked and said, "Yes, they came to see Dr. Tang for a long time today. I thought they knew each other, but when I asked Dr. Tang, he said they weren't familiar with each other."

Su Xue frowned slightly, her mind racing. "We're not really familiar with each other, it's because we've been fighting monsters together."

The nurse looked puzzled. "Huh?" What's the connection?

Seeing her bewildered expression, Su Xue smiled and waved, "Oh dear, the relationship is a bit complicated. It's like Ultraman fighting monsters, and now my Yao Yao is here."

Tang Junyao had just come out of the operating room when she saw Su Xue smiling brightly. Su Xue put her arm around Tang Junyao's shoulder and whispered, "Lu Yueguang came to see you? Is she having a fit of delusions and thinking you're her rival in love, trying to get your attention?"

Sure enough, once you've been a bad person, it leaves a mark on your forehead that's hard to erase. Actually, she didn't know whether Lu Man's words today were true or false, or how much of it was true and how much was false.

Su Xue pulled him into the office. "Do you believe me when I say she's coming to apologize and explain her innocence with Ji Hancheng?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xue looked surprised and suspicious. She released Tang Junyao and took a few steps back. "You're not kidding, are you? She really came to apologize?"

Tang Junyao turned her neck, which was a little stiff. "It's more real than real gold. She said she was leaving and then explained to me that the child she was pregnant with back then wasn't his. She was just unwilling to show off in front of me and had never been a successful mistress. Anyway, she said a lot. Maybe she's figured it out, or maybe she has other purposes. I'm too lazy to care. It's a waste of brain cells."

Su Xue was also pondering Lu Man's changes, and finally concluded, "She had brain surgery in the past two years; did that restore her brain to normal?"

She continued, "Yaoyao, do you believe her? She said she's innocent with Ji Hancheng." Su Xue spoke the name Ji Hancheng very softly, keeping her voice low.

Tang Junyao no longer wanted to delve into this issue; it wasn't very interesting. "Alright, stop thinking about whether other people are normal or not. It's none of our business. Just leave me alone, whether I'm off work or not."

"Go on, am I crazy if I don't leave work on time? I'm in a hurry to get back to see Little Strawberry. My mom has put Little Strawberry in her own line now, so she can't sleep with me at night."

Tang Junyao smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing? Why don't you consider telling Auntie the truth? Auntie might get even angrier if it goes on for too long. Besides, it's a bit unethical for us to perform every Friday."

Su Xue looked a little dejected. "Let's wait a few more days. Luckily, Little Strawberry isn't like me, otherwise my mom would have noticed long ago with her sharp eyes."

Tang Junyao reminded her, "These past few days, the more I look at Lu Jinnan, the more I think Xiaocaozi looks like him. You don't need to tell your mother, I think even an outsider could see the resemblance between them."

Su Xue sighed, "Why does he look like that scumbag? It would be so much better if he were like me. I'm cute and pretty, loved by everyone and adored by flowers."

"Little Strawberry is very pretty, just like him. Young Master Lu is indeed good-looking, you have to admit that. He has a nose and eyes, and he's still very popular among women. You can't deny his good looks just because he attracts attention."

"Those two, Ji Shao and Han Shao, are not as handsome as him. He's just full of confidence all day long, attracting women everywhere."

Tang Junyao laughed and retorted, "It's because of my constitution that I attract so many suitors, but it's not bad that I haven't seen any illegitimate children of Young Master Lu all these years."

Su Xue slapped her best friend hard on the shoulder, "Yao Yao, you've betrayed us! When did you start speaking up for that scumbag? Did you take bribes from him?"

"I don't care about money, okay? I'm leaving."
