The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

Chapter 317 A Family Feud Begins

Zhou Danhan was furious and wanted to bite the old lady Anxin, but the bodyguards who rushed over dragged her out.

Zhou Yan'an and the others were also kicked out.

Zhou Danhan's face stung from the slap, and the humiliation she suffered made her unable to hold back any longer. She burst into tears, sobbing and seeking comfort from her mother, "Mom, how could she hit me like that..."

After sobbing for a while, he didn't receive any comfort from Mrs. Zhou, so he wiped away his tears and looked at Mrs. Zhou.

What she saw was Mrs. Zhou with an inquiring and suspicious expression.

Zhou Danhan was initially confused, but after regaining her senses, she instantly understood what was going on. Forgetting about crying, she immediately grabbed Mrs. Zhou's arm: "Mom, that old woman is definitely talking nonsense. She just wants to sow discord between us..."

Mrs. Zhou snapped out of her reverie and nodded somewhat awkwardly: "Mom knows, Mom was just thinking about something, don't overthink it."

Seeing Mrs. Zhou's unnatural expression, Zhou Danhan felt a chill run down her spine, and turned to Zhou Yan'an: "Dad—"

Zhou Yan'an looked at Zhou Danhan, remembering all the trouble she had caused Ruan Mianmian, and finally couldn't hold back. He raised his hand and slapped Zhou Danhan: "Why did you torment Ruan Mianmian?"

He tends to believe his mother's words.

Because he had seen from a young age how much his mother loved her own face, and he had heard his mother say more than once that it was a pity she couldn't have given birth to a daughter, and that it would be great if she could have a daughter to inherit her beauty.

Upon learning that his family had mistaken his daughter for someone else, he did not tell his mother, nor did he take Ruan Mianmian to see her.

Therefore, the mother was unaware of Ruan Mianmian's existence at first, and thus would not mention such an unknown fact.

Later, everyone in the circle knew that his family had switched daughters at birth, and this news would definitely reach his mother's ears.

However, based on his understanding of his mother, even if she knew about the baby swap, she probably wouldn't care, because if she didn't like her daughter-in-law, she naturally wouldn't like her granddaughter either, as evidenced by her extreme coldness towards Zhou Danhan.

The reason her mother decided to give her the property was probably after Ruan Mianmian entered the entertainment industry, made a strong debut in a drama series, and revealed her feud with Zhou Danhan and the Zhou family.

His mother was so narcissistic that she would be overjoyed to see a descendant who looked so much like her in a TV series, and naturally she would be extremely disgusted by Zhou Danhan, who dared to bully the little girl who looked just like her.

Then, in order to make Zhou Danhan suffer and to elevate Ruan Mianmian, wouldn't it be a good idea to give her the property?

No wonder she became so ill later, yet still insisted on returning to China.

Zhou Yan'an grew angrier the more he thought about it. He glanced at Zhou Danhan with a cold look, snorted, and turned to leave.

He felt an extreme disgust for Zhou Danhan, who had ruined his plans, and felt no more affection for her as his daughter.

Zhou Danhan was slapped again and was completely stunned.

Feeling the sharp pain on her face, tears streamed down her face.

The Zhou brothers rushed forward to comfort her.

But they were also affected; their words of comfort and expressions were far less sincere than before.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Danhan felt even more desolate.

However, she also knew that if the Zhou family abandoned her, she wouldn't even be able to maintain her life of luxury. So she covered her face and cried, "I don't blame Dad. He was just in a bad mood... But Grandma's words were definitely meant to sow discord between us. She hates us..."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhou and the Zhou brothers did not change their expressions when they heard these words, and that Zhou Yan'an in front did not stop walking for even a moment, Zhou Danhan knew that saying these words was useless.

She covered her face, sobbing softly, desperately trying to think of a solution.

When she sat down on the bus, the movement was too large, and her cheeks started to twitch.

Feeling roughly the same pain on both sides, Zhou Danhan's eyes lit up, and she said, "Isn't Grandma's health not very good? Why is she so strong? When she hit me, it hurt more than when Dad hit me. Could it be that she was having a sudden burst of energy before her death?"

Upon hearing this, the Zhou family members seemed to awaken from a dream.

Yes, the old lady's health is in terrible shape. They already knew this from the doctor, and it's only been a few days.

Why did such a seriously ill and dying old man suddenly become much more energetic and have the strength of an adult man?

Zhou Yan'an's first thought was of the special medicine that had been circulating among wealthy families recently, claiming that the authorities had developed a way to save lives and prolong lifespans.

However, he rejected the idea as soon as it came to mind.

If the old lady really used a life-extending drug, then she still has days to live and will need money, so why would she give her property to Ruan Mianmian?

Could it really be a final burst of energy before death?

If it's just a last gasp before death, and he goes back to bribe Fang Gu and the old lady's bodyguards, is it possible to get the property back from Ruan Mianmian?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yan'an immediately got out of the car and walked quickly towards the hospital.

Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Danhan quickly followed.

When the group arrived at the old lady's ward, they were stopped by several bodyguards. No matter what they said, they were not allowed to enter.

Unable to get in, Zhou Yan'an went to find the attending physician of the elderly woman, Anxin, to inquire about her health condition.

The doctor already knew about the conflict between Grandma Anxin and her son Zhou Yan'an, and he felt disgusted by it. However, legally, Zhou Yan'an was Grandma Anxin's son, and he had to tell her about her condition. Therefore, he handed a diagnosis to Zhou Yan'an: "Grandma Anxin has taken a special medicine, and her physical functions have greatly improved. She can live at least a few more years."

This is the doctor's conservative estimate. As for how many more years she can live, he doesn't know and it remains to be verified by the patient, the old lady.

Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Danhan were all shocked when they heard this!

Upon hearing about the miracle drug, Zhou Yan'an felt dizzy.

It's a miracle drug! It really is a miracle drug!

But why would she give her property to Ruan Mianmian after using a special medicine to prolong her life?

Doesn't she spend money herself in the future?

Could it be that the special medicine was obtained from the Zhang family through Ruan Mianmian's connections?

Seeing the uncertain look on Zhou Yan'an's face, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly asked, "Yan'an, what kind of miracle drug is the doctor talking about? It can not only cure diseases, but also prolong life?"

"I don't know either, I've only vaguely heard people say that the higher-ups have developed a special drug..." Zhou Yan'an said, his mind wandering.

Mrs. Zhou recalled the old lady's symptoms and immediately asked, "Can that medicine cure all diseases?" The old lady was so sick but she got better, so doesn't that mean it can cure any problem?

If that's really the case, then her brother might be saved!

Zhou Yan'an snapped out of his reverie and saw Mrs. Zhou's concerned expression. He knew she was thinking about her paralyzed younger brother. He felt a wave of disgust. Then he thought about how he had become so estranged from his mother because he had married her, and how he had broken up with Ruan Mianmian because she hadn't disciplined Zhou Danhan properly. Feeling irritated, he impatiently retorted, "How should I know?"

After saying that, he left.
