Director Jiang, don't let the divorce get out of control.

Ji Shiyan was taken aback by her retort, and couldn't help but chuckle, "You're really sharp-tongued now."

"Thank you for the compliment," Wen Ruan said, neither humble nor arrogant.

"I've noticed you've really changed..." Ji Shiyan was a little unsure what to say.

Wen Ruan used to be obedient and well-behaved in front of him.

Many people even said she was their lapdog.

At that time, Ji Shiyan only found Wen Ruan annoying, and because of what the Wen family said, he began to doubt her character.

But now...

After spending time with Wen Ruan, I realized she was a completely different person.

Sometimes he even wondered if the Wen Ruan who used to be so obedient to him was just a figment of his imagination.

"You've never truly understood the real me, but you don't seem to care, do you?" Wen Ruan said calmly.

When Ji Shiyan suddenly broke off the engagement, it was a devastating blow to her.

Even now, she still doesn't know why.

But she didn't care anymore.

After all, her marriage to Jiang Yubai had already helped her escape the hell on earth that was the Wen family.

Ji Shiyan fell silent.

Indeed, he never took the initiative to learn about Wen Ruan.

even……

"Mr. Ji, is there anything else? I'll hang up now if not."

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Ji Shiyan felt inexplicably annoyed.

Wen Ruan thought he was being ridiculous. "What do you want to hear me say?"

There wasn't much to say between her and him, was there?

Ji Shiyan sneered and hung up the phone.

Wen Ruan listened to the busy tone coming from her phone, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes.

Wen Ruan: "..."

Is it just her imagination?

Ji Shiyan seems to be angry...

After a moment of contemplation, Wen Ruan simply ignored the past.

Forget it, they had no relationship to begin with, so she didn't need to think about it too much.

She put down her phone and looked out the window.

Leaving the old house is the most urgent task now.

but……

Wen Ruan lowered her eyes to look at her bruised knees.

Now, her knees ache even after taking just a few steps.

Besides, it's about escaping...

This presents a considerable challenge for her right now.

At that moment, Aunt Yu knocked on the door and came in.

Wen Ruan looked at her; she was holding a bowl in her hand.

"Madam, this is the medicine the old lady prepared for you to prevent miscarriage. Please drink it."

Wen Ruan: "..."

"Medications to prevent miscarriage?"

She almost thought she had misheard.

To be honest, the first time she and Jiang Yubai visited the Jiang family's old house after their marriage, when they met the old lady...

I almost thought she was some kind of lady from an ancient noble family, and later she even followed some family precepts and ancestral hall...

Later, Wen Ruan learned that the old lady was indeed a very serious and old-fashioned person.

She couldn't possibly disobey her elders, which is why she was bullied like that.

Aunt Yu brought the medicine over and placed it in front of her.

Wen Ruan looked down and saw a bowl of dark, bitter-smelling medicine.

It looks like it would taste awful.

"Can I not drink it? I think I'm fine."

Wen Ruan said calmly.

She didn't want to drink anything strange.

Who knows what the old lady might add to it?

This should be traditional Chinese medicine, but she and her baby are both fine and healthy.

She almost miscarried before because she knelt in the ancestral hall for too long. The ancestral hall was cold and damp, and her body couldn't take it.

"Madam, the old lady says you must drink it. Do you expect me to force-feed it?"

Yu Ma said in a very formal and methodical manner.

Seeing this, Wen Ruan knew she had no choice but to drink...

She gritted her teeth and could only pick up the bowl. Just as she brought it to her lips, the domineering taste instantly filled her nostrils, and a sense of awe surged up inside her.

With a quick thought, Wen Ruan came up with an idea.

She gritted her teeth, took two sips, and before she could even swallow, her face turned pale, and she vomited it all up.

Aunt Yu's expression changed several times, and she said with a forced smile, "Madam, the old lady specially had ginseng brewed in here... a lot of highly nourishing medicinal herbs, specially for you to strengthen your body."

"This bowl of soup took three hours to cook, and you've wasted it all."

Wen Ruan had originally planned not to drink it, but she only realized how strange the taste was after the bowl of medicine was fed to her.

It was bitter, astringent, and had an indescribable taste, like snot...

She doesn't need to pretend; she just can't drink it.

Is this a new way for the old lady to torment her?

Wen Ruan quickly picked up her water glass and rinsed her mouth, feeling a little better. "Sorry, this tastes really strange, I can't drink it."

"You'll get used to it. I'll have someone cook another bowl."

After saying that, Aunt Yu had someone come in to tidy up, then turned and left.

Wen Ruan frowned slightly; it seemed she had no choice but to drink it.

She considered whether she should go to see the old lady... but she immediately suppressed the thought.

Forget it, she's not going to compromise.

Before we knew it, it was afternoon.

After having lunch, Wen Ruan secretly observed the bodyguards changing shifts outside the window.

But for some reason, after sitting on the sofa for a while, she felt a little dizzy.

She lay down on the bed, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she realized something was wrong!

She wouldn't normally be this tired.

This is tough... Was there something wrong with my lunch?

Waves of drowsiness washed over her, and Wen Ruan tried her best to resist with willpower, but it was no use...

After an unknown amount of time, Wen Ruan could no longer resist and fell into a deep sleep.

When Wen Ruan regained consciousness, she keenly heard the old lady's voice, which seemed to be muffled by something.

"Are you sure this surgery won't affect the child?"

Wen Ruan frowned, gritting her teeth and forcing herself to wake up.

By the way, she was very sleepy after lunch.

She opened her eyes and realized with a start that she was no longer in the old house.

She quickly scanned her surroundings; this looked like an operating room…

Thinking of what the old lady had said earlier, which seemed to have come from outside the door, Wen Ruan was startled!

It was indeed her who did it, but why?

Wen Ruan glanced down and saw that she was wearing a hospital gown. She quickly got off the operating table.

Her face paled from the pain in her knees. She quickly glanced around, trying to figure out how to leave.

Just then, an unfamiliar voice came from the doorway, "Don't worry, Madam, the amniocentesis won't affect the baby..."

Wen Ruan: "???"

Amniocentesis?

Is that what she meant?

Has the old lady gone mad?

Even if she didn't know much about pregnancy, she knew that she couldn't have the surgery at around one month pregnant.

At this stage, the amniotic fluid is low and the embryo is extremely small, making it impossible to obtain a sufficient sample and increasing the risk of miscarriage...

She suspected that the child in her womb wasn't Jiang Yubai's.

Simply outrageous.

And what kind of shady hospital is this?

Is it really okay to lie to an old lady like this?

Suddenly, Wen Ruan heard footsteps and immediately realized that she had to leave right away.

This surgery absolutely must not be performed!

The person is about to come in, what should we do?

Wen Ruan caught a glimpse of the cabinet in the corner of the wall and quickly ran over to open it; there was space underneath.

She immediately slipped inside and carefully closed the door.

The next moment, she heard the operating room door being pushed open and someone coming in.
