After the divorce, the aloof female CEO was filled with regret.

"What should we do?" I asked anxiously, my face filled with worry. "Doctor, do you have any suggestions?"

The doctor replied seriously, "We recommend that you go to the best cardiology hospital as soon as possible to see a specialist for examination and to develop a treatment plan. Your uncle's condition is very urgent; the sooner treatment begins, the better."

After leaving the doctor's office, I felt lost and helpless, like I had lost my soul, and sat listlessly on a bench in the corridor.

Even if I were reborn, would I still be unable to save my uncle's life?

How do I find a top-tier hospital? Even if I do, the exorbitant medical costs are beyond my means. How can I raise this huge sum of money in a short period of time?

Jiang Yuwei might be able to help me; after all, she has plenty of resources. But I just had a big argument with her, and I'm too embarrassed to go to her.

After thinking it over, I suddenly had a brilliant idea. I took out my phone and dialed Li Ningsu's number.

Although Li Ningsu's family background is not as good as Jiang Yuwei's, she is still from a wealthy family and is a good friend of Jiang Yuwei, so she must have a lot of connections.

The call was answered quickly, and Li Ningsu's nonchalant voice came through: "Brother-in-law, why are you calling me all of a sudden?"

"Li Ningsu, I need your help with something," I said directly.

“No problem.” Li Ningsu readily agreed. “Brother-in-law, just say the word, I’ll help you if I can.”

Since she was being so direct, I didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Do you have any connections to get in touch with a leading expert in treating heart disease?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. "Um, brother-in-law, has something happened to Uncle?"

"Yes."

Li Ningsu, who had just agreed so readily, now stammered, "Brother-in-law, if you ask about designers, celebrities, models, or anything like that, I can definitely find you a whole bunch, but top doctors, especially in cardiology, I really don't know anyone. I've hardly ever been to the hospital since I was a child."

Before I could speak, Li Ningsu continued, "However, Sister Jiang definitely has a way. She has a wide network of connections and knows all sorts of people. She can get in touch with anyone. Brother-in-law, why don't you go find Sister Jiang!"

I pursed my lips. "I came to you because I didn't want to see her. Can you actually help me?"

Li Ningsu hesitated for a moment before finally speaking: "Brother-in-law, let me be frank with you. It's not that I'm unwilling to help you, it's that I can't. If you don't tell Sister Jiang about your uncle, she'll be angry. She even yelled at me just now."

Upon hearing this, I was so angry that my teeth itched. "You're the one who told Jiang Yuwei about my uncle's hospitalization, aren't you? I told you not to tell her that day, but you went and told her right away. That's not being a true brother."

"Brother-in-law, I'm doing this for your own good..." Li Ningsu tried to explain.

I immediately interrupted her: "You've revealed my secret, so you owe me a favor. Quickly help me contact that hospital, as a way of repaying that favor."

On the other end of the phone, Li Ningsu sighed, "Okay, brother-in-law, I'll give it a try."

I frowned. "What do you mean by 'try'?"

Li Ningsu quickly changed her tune: "Good brother-in-law, I will do my best."

I breathed a sigh of relief. "That's more like it. I'll treat you to a big meal after it's all done."

Li Ningsu agreed, then earnestly reminded me, "However, surgery at those top-tier hospitals isn't cheap, brother-in-law, you need to prepare in advance."

That hit me right where it hurts; money is what I need most right now. I asked anxiously, "How much do you think I'll need?"

"Well... conservatively speaking, it's at least a million."

"Okay, I understand, thank you." I didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.

I leaned back in my chair, with only one number on my mind: one million.

If Li Ningsu is willing to help, we should hear back soon. At that point, it will only be a matter of money.

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that while earning money through my own work is stable, it would take at least a year to save up that much, which is too slow.

The second option is to divorce Jiang Yuwei and get the remaining 700,000 yuan in settlement money. This is the fastest way to raise the money in the short term and is the most anticipated option.

However, Jiang Yuwei has suddenly become somewhat abnormal, and it will take some effort to get a smooth divorce.

Third, I want to go home and take back power from my father.

Calling it a power grab is really just about taking back what's rightfully mine. Ye Zhenguo's company's success today is entirely due to Jiang Yuwei's help after I married into her family.

Shamelessly, I should say that at least half the credit is mine.

However, compared to my dad, Jiang Yuwei is relatively easy to deal with. Although the process might take a while, once it's settled, it won't be just a million; it'll be at least tens of millions, and possibly even hundreds of millions. With that kind of money, why should I even bother striving anymore!

After weighing the options, I decided to take a three-pronged approach. No matter which path works, there's a chance my uncle's illness can be cured.

But the most important thing is to divorce Jiang Yuwei as soon as possible, that's the fastest way to make money.

Jiang Yuwei just said today that she would never divorce me, even if it meant death. I thought about it and decided to let things cool down first, and then talk to her about divorce tomorrow after she calms down.

When I returned to the ward, my uncle was still asleep. Gu Mengmeng had already returned with fruit and was quietly looking down at her phone.

I called her softly, and she immediately looked up at me, smiled slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Where did you go just now?"

I didn't want her to worry, and I told her I could handle my uncle's situation myself, so I just gave her a casual answer. She didn't ask any more questions, but her gaze behind her glasses was slightly lowered, and I didn't know what she was thinking.

The next day, I slept until noon. I had tossed and turned all night, but I overslept this morning.

On the third day, when Gu Mengmeng woke up, she had already gone out to buy lunch.

My uncle glanced at me and said, "Go brush your teeth. I saved some steamed buns for you to have something to eat first. Lunch will be ready soon."

"Okay." I quickly finished washing up, ate a steamed bun, and felt about full. I checked the time; Jiang Yuwei should be at the company by now and have probably already eaten breakfast. Talking to her now should go more smoothly than yesterday.

I picked up my phone and called her.

Beep—Beep—The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later…

"Jiang Yuwei, you're not answering my calls again!"

Where did she learn such a bad temper?!

Frustrated, I hung up the phone and dialed Secretary Li instead.

The call connected quickly, and Secretary Li's crisp, efficient voice came through: "Sir, how can I help you?"

Secretary Li is the most reliable person; it was a wise decision to leave him my phone number last time.

I said directly, "Secretary Li, where is Jiang Yuwei? Let her answer my call."

Secretary Li replied, "Sir, Mr. Jiang is currently... a bit busy, so it might not be convenient for him."

I know Secretary Li well; he's always decisive. If there's something wrong, he'll say it directly. The fact that he's stammering like this means Jiang Yuwei doesn't want to answer my call.

She's still angry. How could Jiang Yuwei be so petty!

I warned, "Secretary Li, tell Jiang Yuwei that if she doesn't answer my calls, I'll expose the scandals of one of her company's secretaries. Then she won't be able to save face!"

Secretary Li did not hesitate. "Sir, Bai Hejie has been fired."
