Chapter 469: Chapter 463: She’s still…
“Wei Jiani, this is all your fault! If you had done your howork and considered all factors, my son wouldn’t be in this situation. He needs surgery. There’s this skilled doctor who could save his leg, but because of you, not only will he lose his leg but much more than that due to your mistakes.”
She took a step closer to Wei Jiani, who involuntarily stepped back.
“Everything that’s befallen us is because of you! If anything happens to my son…” She raised her hand and pointed at Wei Jiani. “I’ll not only make you pay but your entire family. You can all look forward to being beggars for the rest of your lives.”
Wei Jiani’s face froze, and her lips started quivering. She was too shaken to utter a word.
She couldn’t bear such a consequence.
Nor could Wei Tian and Sang Zhilan.
...
Although Wei Jiani had never experienced Jin’s mother’s ruthlessness, her threat had Wei Jiani genuinely terrified.
When Wei Jiani finally erged, she found her back drenched with sweat. For the first ti, she was scared to the point of wanting to cry and scream.
She trembled as she took out her phone and called Sang Zhilan.
“Mom, this ti you have to save . I don’t want to lose my job, I don’t want to live with my head bowed in sha forever. Mom, if you don’t save this ti, I’ll be done for, and the Wei family will be ruined too.”
Inside the operating room, Tang Yuxin furrowed her eyebrows. She felt uncomfortable, especially the pain on her back. No matter what position she adjusted herself into, the pain was incessant.
Despite appearing asleep, she would wake up to the slightest rustle from outside.
Even the rustling sound of leaves falling in early winter.
When the surgery room’s door was burst open with a bang, Tang Yuxin opened her eyes. Standing at the door was none other than Wei Jiani.
Currently, Wei Jiani was glaring provocatively at Tang Yuxin, her face a mask of murderous jealousy and fury.
“Here, a call from my mom,” she sauntered over and placed her phone on the table. Tang Yuxin turned over, clearly indicating her refusal to answer, but Wei Jiani didn’t relent and placed the phone right next to Tang Yuxin’s ear, even putting it on speaker. So even if she didn’t want to listen, she had to.
“Mom, she’s right here. You talk to her.”
Wei Jiani didn’t even want to pronounce Tang Yuxin’s na, and it seed Sang Zhilan felt the sa way.
“You have to do that patient’s surgery.” Never had Sang Zhilan been as stern as she was today. It was as if there was no other alternative.
‘Have,’ what a damned word.
Tang Yuxin kept her mouth shut, refusing to say a word.
“Tang Yuxin, did you hear ?” Sang Zhilan gritted her teeth. This wasn’t a request, it was a command. If anything happened to the patient, Wei Jiani would bear the brunt of the bla. The Jin family would never spare her, and not only would her prospects be ruined, her safety might be in jeopardy too and her family would be implicated. So, no harm must co to the patient. Even if Tang Yuxin died, it needed to be on the operating table.
“Tang Yuxin,” Sang Zhilan’s voice grew louder. “This is your debt to . I brought you into this world. You owe your blood, your body, your life, hence, you must repay .”
Tang Yuxin slowly sat up, her lips curled slightly in a barely-there smile, a mocking smile. Did they really intend to push her into her grave? Is that when they’ll be satisfied?
“So, if I save him, you’ll sever all ties with ?” She asked clear and slow, needing to know just how far Sang Zhilan could go, how heartless and shaless she can be. This so-called mother, how much disappointnt would it take to ultimately break all ties?
To no longer have anything to do with her.
“Yes,” Sang Zhilan gritted her teeth. For the sake of Wei Jiani, their family, and herself, she put aside all concerns. She didn’t care about anything anymore.
“Once you save that patient, I will sever all ties with you. You would have repaid the debt owed for my nurturing. I won’t look for you in the future, and you won’t be my daughter any longer, nor will I be your mother.”
“Did you hear all that?” Tang Yuxin asked Wei Jiani. How could she not have heard with those ears of hers?
Wei Jiani sneered. She had never considered Tang Yuxin as a sister anyway. Did it make a difference whether she was there or not?
“Ms Sang, your daughter has heard it too,” Tang Yuxin placed her hands on her lap, slightly clenching them.
“I can help you save that man.” She didn’t miss the fleeting joy in Wei Jiani’s eyes, and on the other end, she could hear Sang Zhilan’s sigh of relief. Tang Yuxin had heard her relief.
“But…” She lightly flicked the corner of her lips that hardly ever smiled. “Rember your words. Don’t co looking for , and don’t call yourself my mother, because, you don’t deserve it.”
Sang Zhilan’s finger trembled. It was hard to say what emotions surged in her heart—grief, humiliation, or sothing else. The words ‘you don’t deserve,’ felt like a hard slap on her face that left her reeling with dizziness, barely able to stand straight.
“You should leave,” Tang Yuxin said, still sitting on the hospital bed. But Wei Jiani made no move.
“Get out!” Tang Yuxin gave her a cold glance, a chill stemming from the icy abhorrence emanating from deep inside.
The words Wei Jiani had on her tongue, ‘Who do you think you are?’, were swallowed back at the last mont. She hadn’t forgotten that she was the one begging Tang Yuxin for help. If Tang Yuxin changed her mind and refused to save Jin Wenhan, what then?
She wouldn’t just lose her hard-earned job, but also her future prospects.
She turned around and reached the door. Instead of closing the door, she swung it wide open.
Tang Yuxin carefully reached for the bag on her bedside table. She took out a bottle of dicine which she had thought about taking prior to the surgery with the soldier. However, she decided against it as she had so reserves to carry on.
But the upcoming surgery—her ticket to cutting all ties with Sang Zhilan—right, she owed her. She owed her blood, her body, and thus, she needed to repay everything.
Yes, repay all of it.
This was a forbidden drug from Li’s family ancient prescriptions—the kind not ant for consumption.
The drug had been used in ancient tis to keep a dying person alive for a little longer. To Tang Yuxin, though, this seed more like a stimulant that mobilizes the body’s energy and blood, enabling one to hold on for a bit longer.
This was intended for those on the verge of death, but she was preparing to ingest it herself.
