After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

Xu Ying sighed, "So what if I want to see her? Can you bring Ranran over to me? Her phone has been switched off for a while now, and I haven't been able to contact her."

Lin Mengchuan: "She didn't turn off her phone, she just changed her number. But there's someone who can definitely contact her. Wait a moment, I'll make a call and get Qiao Ran over here."

Seeing that Lin Mengchuan was serious, Xu Ying instructed, "Be nicer, don't upset Ranran, okay?"

"Grandma, I know," Lin Mengchuan said as he left the ward and went to the hallway to call Qi Muci.

After their intimate moment ended, Qi Muci and Qiao Ran took a nap together.

He was annoyed to be woken up by a phone call, but when he saw it was Lin Mengchuan calling, he hung up immediately.

Qiao Ran snuggled closer to him and whispered, "Who is it?"

Qi Muci hugged her while replying, "It's an advertising or sales call."

On the other end, Lin Mengchuan saw that Qi Muci had hung up the phone, so he had no choice but to send him a message: "My grandma fainted and is now hospitalized in the city hospital. Could you please tell Ranran that my grandma wants to see her?"

Qi Muci heard the text message notification sound and knew it must be Lin Mengchuan.

He picked up the phone, glanced at it, and then handed it to Qiao Ran.

He cannot make decisions for Qiao Ran; this is the most basic respect for his wife.

Qiao Ran glanced at the message, closed her eyes, and said, "Reply to me and say that I said it. I'm divorced from him, his grandmother's affairs have nothing to do with me, and don't tell me these things again."

Qi Muci paused for a moment, then sent out a text message containing Qiao Ran's words.

Lin Mengchuan was furious when he saw Qi Muci's reply to the text message, feeling that Qiao Ran was truly ungrateful.

He couldn't swallow his anger, so he dialed Qi Muci's number again.

The other party answered, and it was Qiao Ran's voice that came through.

Qiao Ran: "Lin Mengchuan, haven't I made myself clear enough? What does your grandmother's illness have to do with me? Why did you notify me and make me visit her in the hospital? Are all the members of your Lin family dead?"

It wasn't that Qiao Ran was heartless.

If she hadn't married Qi Muci, she might have called to inquire about the old lady's well-being or visited her in the hospital.

But now that she is Qi Muci's wife, she has to sever ties with the Lin family.

Moreover, she was well aware that Lin Mengchuan was deliberately using the old lady's illness as an excuse to harass her.

In this situation, she couldn't afford to be soft-hearted towards the old lady.

Lin Mengchuan was furious after hearing Qiao Ran's words. "Qiao Ran, have you lost your conscience? My grandmother was so good to you, and she even left you all her property. How could you say such a thing?"

Qiao Ran smiled upon hearing this, "So it's because of that will. Lin Mengchuan, didn't your mother tell you? Did I already say it? I will not accept your grandmother's will. I won't take a single penny of your Lin family's money."

"Are you relieved now? Can you let me go?"

Lin Mengchuan was skeptical. "Do you know how many properties my grandmother owns? Are you sure you're giving them all up?"

Qiao Ran sneered, "Lin Mengchuan, believe it or not, I'll say it one last time: don't tell me about your Lin family's affairs again. I don't have time to meddle in other people's business!"

Qiao Ran hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

Hearing the dial tone on the other end of the phone, Lin Mengchuan angrily tugged at his tie.

He wondered if Qiao Ran was really determined to sever ties with him and his family.

They don't even want Grandma's property anymore?

He didn't believe that anyone in the world would not want free money, especially a woman like Qiao Ran.

If she really didn't want their family's money, then why did she agree to marry him in the first place?

All she wants is to be a rich man's wife!

What are they going to pretend to be this time?

Lin Mengchuan dared not tell the old lady the truth, fearing it would upset her, so he lied to her, saying he had not been able to contact Qiao Ran.

However, he contacted Qiao Ran's mother, who said she would come over immediately.

Less than half an hour later, Song Yuhe and Qiao Baocheng appeared at the ward door, each carrying a bunch of things.

As Song Yuhe walked in, she pretended to be very distressed and said, "Oh dear, my dear in-law, it's been a while since I've seen you. You look like you've lost a lot of weight. Please take good care of yourself."

Xu Ying turned to look at her grandson, her expression somewhat reproachful.

Lin Mengchuan explained, "Grandma, you wanted to see Ranran, right? I thought Ranran might contact her family, so I contacted Auntie. But when Auntie found out you were sick and hospitalized, she insisted on coming to see you."

Song Yuhe put her things down and nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, my dear in-law, I came here on my own initiative. Do you not want to see me? We should visit each other more often."

Xu Ying: "How could that be? I was just afraid of troubling you. Look at you, you've come all this way and I'm already spending so much money to buy you all."

Song Yuhe: "These things don't cost much, they're just a token of our appreciation. Anyway, we're just sitting at home doing nothing, so it's nice to get out and about."

Xu Ying asked in surprise, "You two are just staying at home doing nothing? Bao Cheng, aren't you in business?"

Song Yuhe quickly answered, "Business is tough these days. He's quite proactive, but all his previous investments have failed. Now he wants to start another business, but he doesn't have any working capital."

Xu Ying disliked Song Yuhe and her son because she knew they were living off Qiao Ran's blood.

Hearing Song Yuhe's words, she replied, "Doing business requires brains and abilities, as well as connections. Someone like Baocheng should go out and find a job and earn a stable salary."

Song Yuhe chuckled dryly and said, "It is indeed as you said, it requires brains and ability, but the most important thing is funds. If we have enough funds on hand, we don't need to worry about cash flow problems."

“Nobody starts out with enough cash to keep going,” Xu Ying retorted. “Your family is considered quite well-off. Ranran has filmed so many movies before, and all the money she earned is with you, right?”

Song Yuhe's smile faded. "Grandma, you think too highly of my Ranran. Her pay is very low; she doesn't earn much money. Besides, she hasn't acted since she got married."

"Moreover, she kept most of the money for herself and did not give it all to us."

Song Yuhe lied without batting an eye.

Xu Ying naturally didn't believe what the woman said, but she didn't want to continue the topic.

He changed the subject and asked, "How has Ranran been lately? I've been trying to call her, but her phone is always off."

Song Yuhe: "She's doing quite well, you don't need to worry about her."

Xu Ying looked at Song Yuhe: "Has she contacted you?"

Song Yuhe hesitated for a moment, "She calls occasionally. She signed with Xingyun Entertainment and is currently filming a TV series with that guy named Qi Muchi. She's quite busy, so she's contacted us less often."

Qiao Baocheng actually saw this news online; Qiao Ran never mentioned it to Song Yuhe.

Song Yuhe was furious when she found out. Qiao Ran had secretly signed with a talent agency behind her back, clearly afraid that she would take a share of the money.

However, she couldn't reach Qiao Ran by phone; her phone was always switched off.

All we can do is be anxious.

Xu Ying looked at her grandson Lin Mengchuan and asked, "Did Ranran sign with the Qi family's entertainment company?"

Lin Mengchuan responded in a muffled voice, "Mm."

Xu Ying muttered to herself, "No wonder she always turns off her phone. She must be busy with work. That's good. I'm relieved. Then you shouldn't bother her and interfere with her work."

“Work is important, but Ranran and Mengchuan’s relationship is also important,” Song Yuhe said, seizing the opportunity. “Grandma, don’t worry, I will definitely make sure Ranran and Mengchuan remarry.”

"She can't act forever. She should have a child with Meng Chuan as soon as possible to carry on the Lin family line."
