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

The villa still reeked of a foul odor, and Ji Hancheng's handsome brows remained furrowed.

I walked straight to the master bedroom, and to my surprise, the woman went to the guest room on her own.

After taking a shower, Ji Hancheng did not stay overnight at the Royal Garden. The stench made it too difficult for him to fall asleep, so he drove back to his villa in the middle of the night.

Tang Junyao, who was perfectly lucid, had no idea that the man was making assumptions again, and was fast asleep, clutching a photo of her and her grandfather.

Time passes quietly and cannot be stopped. All that is hard to let go of will eventually be let go, and all sadness will fade with time. It's just a matter of time.

The next day, Tang Junyao got up early and rode her motorcycle to work, buying some mixed grain pancakes and soy milk as a makeshift meal.

Today she was dressed very casually, wearing wide-leg jeans, a sweater, and a beige trench coat, looking like a fresh college student.

Upon arriving at the hospital, as soon as she stepped into the lobby, her best friend took her arm and asked with concern, "Can't your body handle it without resting for a few more days?"

Su Xue stood at the front desk early in the morning, chatting about gossip—something she did every day before going to work.

"Dr. Tang, are you alright?" The nurses at the front desk asked with concern, their faces full of worry.

Seeing how much everyone cared about her warmed her heart. She shrugged, acting as if she was fine, "See, I'm fully recovered. Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."

Su Xue knew she didn't like such sentimental scenes. "Alright, you guys hurry up and eat breakfast. You have to go to work soon. Remember to share any gossip you have next time."

The two gossipy receptionists gave each other an OK sign, looking quite pleased with themselves.

While biting into a pancake and holding a glass of soy milk in the other, Tang Junyao complained, "You get up so early just to collect gossip material. It would be a waste of your talent if you didn't become an entertainment reporter."

With more than half an hour to go before work, Su Xue followed her into the office with a happy smile. "Isn't this to teach them the spirit of sharing happiness rather than enjoying it alone?"

Tang Junyao rolled her eyes at her, and after chatting for 20 minutes, Su Xue returned to her department.

She opened her computer system and started calling out numbers, treating each patient with utmost care and attention.

After seeing about 10 patients, around 10 o'clock, the door to the consultation room was kicked open, startling her as she was focused on the computer.

Upon seeing who it was, she remained remarkably calm. She had initially assumed it was someone causing trouble at a medical facility. "Seeking medical attention?"

Tang Xin's face turned ashen with anger, and he became even angrier when he saw Tang Junyao's nonchalant demeanor.

He didn't go to his company in the morning but went straight to the law firm to find a lawyer. He needed to inherit his father Mr. Tang's estate. He gave the lawyer all the documents he had prepared, including the death certificate, cremation certificate, and proof of their father-son relationship. However, when he arrived at the office, it showed that all of Mr. Tang's property had already been transferred to his daughter, whom he looked down upon, yesterday.

This is unacceptable to Tang Xin. Just 20% of the shares is a ticking time bomb. This amount of ownership would allow him to join the board of directors. How could he accept this?

Unfortunately, his father disliked him. Ever since his ex-wife died, Old Master Tang had forbidden him from stepping into the Tang residence. As a result, he was unable to get Old Master Tang to make a will several times. He could only wait for Old Master Tang to die so that he could inherit automatically. However, his muddle-headed father did not leave him anything and transferred everything to Tang Junyao's name.

He had already been to the Tang residence that morning. The servants said that the young lady had moved out, but they didn't know where she had moved to.

Tang Xin could only wait for her at the hospital.

"Did you seize all of Grandpa's property? Take leave this afternoon and come with me to transfer the property." He said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world, without any sense of shame, and his tone was completely commanding.

Tang Junyao feigned ignorance and asked, "Oh? Turn where? To Grandpa's?"

Tang Xin glared at her fiercely, huffing and puffing, "You...you know perfectly well what I'm asking. Do you even have a chance to own Grandpa's things? Transfer them to my name."

"Are you still half asleep, or have you come to the wrong place? This is a surgery clinic, not a psychiatry clinic." This must be a serious illness.

Tang Xin was furious and directly threatened, "You rebellious daughter, I knew you had bad intentions. Let me tell you, you'd better be smart and transfer everything back, otherwise I can still take it back, and then you'll lose your job."

"With such a large company, your legal knowledge is severely lacking. I suggest you spend your free time brushing up on your intelligence by consulting the company's lawyer before you come out and embarrass yourself." She said sarcastically without any politeness.

Enraged by these words, Tang Xin grabbed the pen holder from the table and threw it at her. Luckily, she dodged it quickly, but Tang Xin immediately slapped her across the face. He was about to slap her a second time when she stopped him.

She had been careless just now, and there would be no second time. Her eyes flashed with murderous intent as she glared fiercely at Tang Xin, showing no sign of backing down.

The stalemate continues.

At this moment, Su Xue rushed in and stood in front of Tang Junyao, her tone unfriendly, "Uncle Tang, what are you doing? If you continue to cause trouble, I'll call security. It wouldn't look good if your status was violated and you were carried out by security."

Perhaps because the commotion was too loud, a lot of patients and nurses had already gathered at the door. Seeing that the situation was not right, Tang's father stormed off.

Seeing everyone gathered at the door, Su Xue waved her hand, her face gloomy, "You can all leave now, there's nothing to see."

"Are you alright? How did you let him succeed? All your Taekwondo and Sanda skills have been wasted."

Tang Junyao touched her slapped cheek with her tongue. "I wasn't paying attention. I was careless."

I dodged the pen holder but not the slap; a mistake.

Su Xue could roughly guess why Tang Xin came to the hospital. "Uncle came about his will, right?"

"Okay, let me transfer it to his name this afternoon. I'll have him see a psychiatrist." She remained calm, showing no sign of distress.

Having grown up without a father, where would one get feelings from, and how could one feel sad?

Su Xue felt sorry for her and sighed, "What should we do? Continue seeing patients or have someone cover for you for a day?"

"Look, they're all wearing my numbers. It's not like I'm missing an arm or a leg. What's the big deal? You can go to work. I'll keep calling numbers. Just wear a mask."

The commotion was quite loud. The receptionists, who were gossiping, were worried that something might have happened to Tang Junyao, so they rushed to the obstetrics and gynecology department to find Su Xue. It was fortunate that Su Xue arrived in time, otherwise, if things had escalated, it wouldn't have been good for her best friend, as she had people waiting for her.

Su Xue was torn about whether to ask her brother to deal with Tang's father's matter, in case he came to cause trouble every few days.

But he was afraid of angering Tang Junyao if he acted on his own initiative.

After getting off work in the evening, Su Xue invited Tang Junyao to dinner, since neither of them had to work.

Su Xue swung her keys and turned to her best friend, asking, "Where should we eat?"

Tang Junyao thought for a moment and then said, wearing a mask, "I'm craving barbecue today."

"Let's go to the barbecue place near the school. It's been so long since I've been there, I really miss it. Do you want to ride in my car or do you want to drive your motorcycle?"

"I'll drive myself. It's not easy to get a taxi where I live now, and it'll be a hassle to get to work tomorrow."

It's true that the neighborhood is upscale and has a strict security system, but it's a bit far away. Maybe wealthy people prefer peace and quiet.

Su Xue: "Okay."

The two arrived at the medical university street in the capital. When they were in college, they often came here to eat skewers, and they would come here to have a meal whenever they had something happy to do.

The proprietress has sharp eyes. "Yaoyao, Xiaoxue, you're here! It's been so long since I've seen you."

"Boss lady, it's been a long time! You've become even more beautiful."

The proprietress smiled broadly, "Xiaoxue is still so good at talking. You have the sweetest tongue. Today, I'll give you a 8% discount."

As women get older, they especially like being called "sister" and told they are beautiful.

After they came up, Su Xue asked, "How are you doing over there? Did Young Master Ji give you any trouble?"

"We've clearly defined our boundaries; neither of us will bother the other." She didn't tell her best friend about the three-month prenuptial agreement, afraid that her hot temper would make a scene and worry about her. Anyway, she'd be fine in three months, so she didn't want to add to her friend's troubles.

"This season, the young master wasn't even a little bit moved by your beauty. Didn't you two sleep under the same roof last night?" Su Xue's gossipy nature got the better of her.

She took a long time to process the last piece of gossip, and she managed to resist sharing it with her brother.

She ate skewers and drank Sprite, looking completely detached from worldly affairs. "I don't know. I ate a bowl of snail rice noodles last night, and when I woke up this morning, I couldn't see his car. Maybe it was driven away by the smell."

Su Xue: "............" If we're talking about tigers, my sisters are the real tigers.

The first person in history to eat snail rice noodles at Ji Ye's restaurant in Beijing, and was still able to sit perfectly fine and enjoy skewers across from him.

Wow, that's fucking awesome.

"He's not that scary, he's just a bit cold." He wasn't very nice last night when we ate snail rice noodles, but he didn't get angry.

"Sister, don't jump to conclusions just because you survived last night."

Tang Junyao: Is it that scary?

After finishing their late-night snack, the two parted ways and went their separate ways home.
