The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

"drive."

Gong Juncheng glanced indifferently at the small house and said coldly.

The driver immediately started the car and drove away.

Mu Ya'an was inside, repairing a necklace. Fortunately, she studied jewelry making and design, so these techniques were not a problem for her.

She sat quietly at the old desk, head down, repairing the necklace.

She was focused and attentive, her expression calm.

By the time she finished repairing the necklace, it was already midnight.

The sound of raindrops falling from the eaves could be heard from time to time outside the window.

She quietly looked at the repaired necklace, then carefully placed it in her handbag.

This was the only canvas bag she brought from the Mu family.

Because the price wasn't very high, the staff doing the clearing out handed the canvas bag to her.

When the Mu family ran into trouble this time, Mu Ya'an only took out some of her personal clothing; everything else was to be auctioned off.

Mu Ya'an never imagined that the Mu family would ever have such a time.

She sat quietly in her chair, looking at the necklace on the table, and suddenly the image of Gong Juncheng appeared in her mind.

His ruthless demeanor was a stark contrast to his previous one.

In just two years, a person can change so much.

Mu Ya'an sat in her chair, her mood unusually heavy and complicated.

It's quite obvious that Gong Juncheng is involved in this incident involving the Mu family.

When the Gong family fell into trouble, the Mu family got the best piece of the pie, allowing them to rise rapidly in a short period of time. But who would have thought that the Mu family would also perish so quickly in such a short time?

Causal loop.

Now that the Mu family is in trouble, she hasn't had the same luck as Gong Juncheng, who had the support of the Sheng family.

Although the Sheng family and the Gong family were in trouble at the same time, the old master of Sheng was a smart man. He had already transferred all his assets overseas, and after legalizing them, they flowed back into Gong Juncheng's hands.

Over the years, Mu Ya'an has heard bits and pieces of news about Gong Juncheng.

He was engaged to the only daughter of the Sheng family. Currently, the Sheng family's daughter is studying abroad, while Gong Juncheng pays her a high living expenses every month and waits quietly in China without any complaints.

Unlike other wealthy single men who have numerous scandals, he is more like a man who remains chaste for his fiancée and has no romantic relationships whatsoever.

When Mu Ya'an saw Gong Juncheng staring at her with those ruthless eyes today, she felt a chill in her heart.

Mu Ya'an has learned about what "Nightmare" is over the past two years.

I've heard that "Nightmare" is a place of men's dreams, where new and exciting things are constantly being introduced.

Gong Juncheng's blunt suggestion that she sell herself clearly showed that he had no regard for their past relationship.

It could be said that they didn't care at all that they were childhood playmates and betrothed as children.

Despite Gong Juncheng's treatment of her, Mu Ya'an had no complaints. In fact, over the years, Mu Ya'an had always felt that she owed Gong Juncheng and the Gong family something.

The decline of the Gong family is inextricably linked to the Mu family.

Mu Ya'an sat there in a daze until the next morning, when Aunt Li woke up and went to her door, she saw Mu Ya'an still sitting in the chair.

Aunt Li then came in, turned off the desk lamp for her, looked at her with some concern, and asked in a low voice.

"Miss, you didn't get any rest all night?"

Upon hearing Aunt Li's words, Mu Ya'an pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and then spoke softly.

"By the time I finished repairing the necklace, it was already almost dawn outside. But I don't have anything to do during the day, so after visiting Grandpa with you, I'll just come back and rest."

Aunt Li nodded in agreement as she listened to Mu Ya'an's words.

"I'll go prepare some breakfast for the old man, and then we'll go to the hospital together."

“The hospital recently said that the old man’s condition is not good, and that he needs some imported medicine, which costs several thousand yuan per pill. These medicines need to be paid for in advance, Miss… If you really can’t borrow the money, I’ll take some money to pay for the old man’s medicine first, and then we can buy the medicine.”

Mu Ya'an was deeply moved when she heard Aunt Li's words, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Aunt Li didn't say anything more and turned to walk into the kitchen.

When Mu Ya'an saw Aunt Li turn around and walk into the kitchen, she shook her head, looking very helpless.

Mu Ya'an's burden became even heavier.

She has to go to the black market tonight to sell the necklace.

She already feels indebted to Aunt Li for living here now. If Aunt Li were to spend more money to buy medicine for her grandfather, she would probably never be able to repay Aunt Li in this lifetime.

H City Hospital.

Mu Ya'an and Aunt Li visited her grandfather at the hospital.

As soon as the two entered the ward, they saw Cheng Shiman sitting by her grandfather's bedside, talking to him.

Cheng Shiman's current state is completely different from how she treated Mu Ya'an last night.

Mu Ya'an bit her lip lightly, stepped into the ward, took a deep breath, and calmly glanced at Cheng Shiman.

Only then did they realize that Cheng Shiman hadn't come alone.

Behind her stood several young ladies from noble families who were the same age as Mu Ya'an.

Previously, these people would fawn over Mu Ya'an, but now they were all standing behind Cheng Shiman. Clearly, she and Cheng Shiman were no longer on the same level.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing Mu Ya'an's cold tone, Cheng Shiman glanced awkwardly at Old Master Mu lying on the hospital bed, and then spoke softly to Mu Ya'an.

"Ya'an, I know you feel inferior because of what happened to the Mu family and you don't want to see us, but I just told Grandpa Mu that no matter what happens to the Mu family, we will still be friends."

"Grandpa Mu can't even afford the medical expenses now, why didn't you tell us?"

As Old Master Mu listened to Cheng Shiman's words, his gaze fell on Mu Ya'an. He coughed violently a few times and tried to get up, supporting himself.

Mu Ya'an frowned, immediately stepped forward, and helped Old Master Mu by the arm.

"grandfather......"

"Ya'an, is what Shiman said true? You're out of money."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ya'an bit her lip lightly.

All of her accounts have been frozen, and she is indeed out of money now.

“Grandpa, I still have money. She’s just talking nonsense.”

Grandpa Mu looked at Mu Ya'an with a heavy expression and said in a weak voice.

“Ya’an, Grandpa’s illness is an old person’s disease, and it’s not really a big deal. We can’t stay in this hospital anymore. Let’s go and get him discharged right away, and then we’ll go home.”

As Old Master Mu spoke, he tried to get out of bed, but after he got out, his legs had very little strength. Even without taking a step, his legs were trembling.

Seeing the old master Cheng's current state, Cheng Shiman pursed her lips, a mocking smile flashing in her eyes.

"Grandpa Mu, you shouldn't push yourself. Lie down and rest."

"Don't worry, as a friend of Ya'an, I will definitely not sit idly by. I will raise money to help Ya'an. If all else fails, there are so many crowdfunding platforms now. Just apply for one. With Ya'an's reputation and talent, they will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty."

Old Master Mu couldn't possibly have missed Cheng Shiman's sarcastic remarks.

Although he is currently ill, he remains very conscious and mentally sharp.

He immediately slapped away Cheng Shiman's hand that was supporting his arm, his expression unusually sharp.
