Chapter 6756
Let me marry a fool?
Yun Jingtian's eyes revealed determination and resolve, even though his body trembled slightly from anger and tension.
The water in the thermos spilled out as he shook his hand, but he was completely unaware of it, as if the slight pain was nothing compared to the agony in his heart.
"When children grow up, they know which path they should take."
Although his voice was not loud, it was full of power, as if he was declaring to Zhou Meilan that he would never let his daughter suffer any more harm.
Yun Yuyan stood there, her body trembling slightly with anger and humiliation.
Her nails dug deep into her palms, the sharp pain bringing her to a slightly more awake state, but also strengthening her resolve to resist.
The force, almost piercing her skin, left crescent-shaped bloodstains on her fair palms, bloodstains as shocking as the pain in her heart at that moment.
Aunt Zhou Meilan stood opposite her, her face plastered with that nauseating fake smile, a smile like a hypocritical mask that concealed the ugliness in her heart.
Every word she uttered was like a poisoned needle, full of scheming and malice, piercing Yun Yuyan's heart: "Yuyan, a woman's youth only lasts a few years, it can't withstand being tormented."
"The eldest son of the Yin family is an honest and upright young man, and his family is rich and powerful. If you marry into the family, you will have no worries about food and drink, wear gold and silver, and your mother's surgery fees will be covered. This is a good thing that is hard to find even with a lantern."
As she spoke, she deliberately pretended to be concerned for Yun Yuyan, but her eyes gleamed with greed.
"Since it's so good,"
Yun Yuyan suddenly looked up, like an enraged lioness, her red eyes still brimming with tears, which swirled in her eyes but never fell.
Her eyes were filled with anger and resentment, as if they were about to spit fire. "Why won't you let your daughter marry him?"
"Didn't she just break up with her boyfriend? She can fill this gap perfectly."
Her voice was sharp and loud, echoing in the silent corridor.
The air seemed to freeze instantly, as if time itself had stopped at that moment.
Everything around them fell silent, leaving only Yun Yuyan's angry breathing.
Yunxi was wearing a brand-new Chanel suit, and her originally exquisite makeup was now distorted by anger.
She was so angry that her face turned red, like a ripe tomato. Her carefully styled curly hair shook violently with her stomping, as if it had come to life, flying wildly in the air.
Her skirt scraped against the metal railing, making a screeching sound, like a saw cutting into one's ears.
"Yun Yuyan, don't talk nonsense! Why should I marry a fool..."
Yunxi shouted loudly, her voice becoming somewhat hoarse with excitement.
She was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized she had said something inappropriate. As if someone had grabbed her by the neck, she hurriedly covered her mouth, a look of panic flashing in her eyes.
Her face instantly turned deathly pale, like a blank sheet of paper devoid of all color, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Yun Jingtian stood to the side, feeling a throbbing sensation in his temples, as if a swarm of tiny insects were crawling inside.
A surge of anger welled up inside him, making his chest feel tight.
Only then did he realize that the person the other party had introduced was actually a fool!
How cruel and heartless they are to think they can exchange their daughter's happiness for so-called benefits.
In the intensive care unit, the ticking of the machines was exceptionally clear, like a relentless countdown, each tick a reminder that his wife's life was tied to these exorbitant medical bills.
He looked at his unconscious wife in the intensive care unit, his heart filled with helplessness and despair. He hated his own powerlessness, hated those who would stop at nothing for profit, but he didn't know how to change anything.
"Jing Tian,"
Uncle Yun Jingguo stood in front of Yun Jingtian, his face seemingly showing concern, but his eyes occasionally flashed with a hint of calculation.
He slowly raised his hand and patted Yun Jingtian's shoulder. The gesture seemed intimate, but the crocodile belt buckle on his waist made Yun Jingtian feel pain.
The belt buckle was hard and cold, just like the indifference and ruthlessness behind my uncle's words.
“Your sister-in-law has suffered a lot with you, and they’ve been through so much together over the years. You can’t just stand by and watch her suffer…”
Before he could finish speaking, he let out a heavy sigh, a long and suppressed sigh that seemed to contain endless pressure and helplessness, echoing in the silent room and making the atmosphere even more somber.
These words struck Yun Yuyan and Yun Jingtian like a heavy hammer, making them tremble.
Right now, his wife is lying in the intensive care unit, her life hanging by a thread, and she urgently needs a large sum of money for medical treatment. They have been running around trying to raise the money, but they still can't. They are really desperate.
Yun Jingtian bit his lip tightly, his eyes filled with struggle and hesitation.
Yun Yuyan gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her fingers turning white from the force.
Seeing this, Zhou Meilan immediately seized the opportunity and continued to persuade her: "Yun Yuyan, you don't have a boyfriend anyway, and in this situation, you don't want to watch your mother just die like this, do you?"
"That silly boy is easy to fool, he's not very shrewd. Once you're in the Yin family, you can spend money however you want."
"At that time, you'll have whatever you want, and wearing gold and silver will be a piece of cake."
"Moreover, your status in the Yun family rose significantly at that time, and even the family head looked up to you."
"From now on, who in the Yun family will dare to look down on you?"
As she spoke, she gently tapped Yun Yuyan's hand with her fingers. The gesture seemed gentle, but there was a hint of cunning in her eyes, as if she were plotting a secret deal.
Yunxi added fuel to the fire, her arms crossed over her chest, a contemptuous smile on her face, a smile like a knife, piercing Yun Yuyan's heart.
"Your family has declined, that's a fact."
"Your little company is now like a candle in the wind, teetering on the brink of collapse."
"With just one word from the head of the family, the funds will be frozen, and you won't even be able to eat."
"Think about the future. Do you want to continue living this impoverished life, or do you want to seize this opportunity to rise to prominence and become a phoenix? You should weigh the pros and cons carefully."
Her words were harsh and vicious; each word was like a bullet, piercing Yun Yuyan's heart.
These words were like a sharp blade, piercing straight to Yun Yuyan's sore spot.
She thought of her once warm home, now broken and shattered.
Thinking of my mother who worked tirelessly day and night for this family, and now lying in a hospital bed with her life hanging in the balance.
Thinking back on all the things I experienced at school, being ridiculed by classmates and looked down upon by relatives.
Her palm was pierced by her fingernails, and blood seeped out. The taste of blood filled her mouth, but she couldn't even cry. She could only silently hide all her grievances and pain in her heart, like a wounded little animal licking its wounds alone. (End of Chapter)
