"Auntie, I'm really fine..." Upon seeing this, Yu Yuetong quickly stepped forward to persuade her, "Please don't be angry, it's not worth ruining your health..."

"Yue Tong, don't speak up for him!" Han Shuang grabbed Yu Yue Tong's hand and said with heartache, "Don't worry, your aunt will definitely stand up for you! This marriage is off!"

"What?!" Yu Yuetong and Qin Reng exclaimed at the same time.

"Not getting married? Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!" Qin Reng suddenly sat up in bed, pulling at his wounds, which made him gasp in pain.

Yu Yuetong was also bewildered. Why was the plot getting stranger and stranger? Shouldn't Han Shuang be trying her best to bring her and Qin Reng together so they could have a grandchild soon? Why was she suddenly trying to break them up?

Looking at her son, Han Shuang said with heartache, "Look at yourself now! You're not even remotely the heir of the Qin family! How can I entrust the company to you? How can I trust you to take care of Yue Tong?"

"Mom, I..." Qin Reng was about to explain when Han Shuang interrupted him.

"Don't call me Mom! I don't have a son like you!" Han Shuang's chest heaved with anger. "If you really want to be with Yue Tong, you should control yourself instead of doing something so beastly!"

"Auntie, I'm really fine..." Yu Yuetong weakly interjected, but was met with an even sterner look from Han Shuang.

"Yuetong, don't be afraid, your aunt will get justice for you!" Han Shuang said, turning to Qin Reng. "Let me tell you, this marriage must end! If you dare to bother Yuetong again, I will sever all ties with you as mother and son!"

Qin Reng stared at his mother in disbelief, as if he were seeing her for the first time. He never imagined that his usually gentle and virtuous mother could be so terrifying when she got angry!

"Mom, listen to me..."

"I don't want to hear what you're saying!" Han Shuang interrupted him coldly. "Get out of here right now! You're not allowed to see Yue Tong again without my permission!"

Qin Reng wanted to say something, but seeing the resolute look in his mother's eyes, he knew it would be useless to continue. He sighed helplessly, threw back the covers, and prepared to get out of bed.

"What are you doing?!" Han Shuang asked sharply upon seeing this.

"I..." Qin Reng was stunned for a moment, not understanding what his mother meant.

"What else do you want to do? Trying to take advantage of Yue Tong?" Han Shuang glared at him, her tone full of vigilance.

Qin Reng was both amused and exasperated. He explained, "Mom, I just wanted to get out of bed. I didn't mean anything by it."

"You can't get out of bed!" Han Shuang said firmly. "You just stay in bed and wait for the doctor to examine you before we talk about anything else!"

Qin Reng was completely speechless. He felt like a prisoner being strictly watched by his mother.

Yu Yuetong watched this scene, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She knew that Han Shuang had misunderstood her and Qin Reng, but she had no way to explain it clearly now. Moreover, judging from Han Shuang's attitude, she probably wouldn't believe her no matter what she said.

Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open again, and Old Madam Qin walked in, supported by a maid.

"What's going on here? What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket!" As soon as Madam Qin entered the room, she heard the tense atmosphere and couldn't help but frown.

"Mom, you've come at the right time!" Han Shuang felt like she had found her pillar of support when she saw her mother-in-law, and she quickly stepped forward to complain, "Look at what your grandson has done!"

Old Madam Qin looked at Han Shuang with suspicion and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Han Shuang pointed at Qin Reng and said angrily, "He...he actually did something to Yue Tong..."

"What's wrong with him?" Old Madam Qin pressed for an answer.

Han Shuang gritted her teeth, but ultimately didn't say those two words. She just said with red eyes, "Anyway, he's a piece of trash!"

Madam Qin was even more puzzled. She turned to Yu Yuetong, who had been silent all along, and asked, "Yuetong, tell me, what exactly happened?"

Yu Yuetong glanced at Qin Reng, then at Han Shuang, unsure how to begin. She couldn't very well say that Qin Reng had suddenly become a beast and forcibly kissed her, could she?

Just then, Qin Reng suddenly spoke up, "Grandma, it's my fault, I..."

"Shut up!" Han Shuang snapped. "You have no right to speak here!"

Looking at the chaotic scene before her, Old Madam Qin immediately understood seven or eight parts of the situation. She waved her hand, signaling Han Shuang to be quiet, then looked at Yu Yuetong and asked, "Yu Yuetong, tell Grandma, do you want to divorce Aren?"

Yu Yuetong was taken aback, not expecting Old Madam Qin to be so direct. She opened her mouth, but didn't know how to answer.

"Don't be afraid, just tell the truth." Old Madam Qin looked at her and said gently, "Grandma has been through this before, I understand what you're thinking."

Yu Yuetong took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Grandma, I..."

"You want a divorce?" Old Madam Qin said the rest of the sentence for her.

Yu Yuetong bit her lip and nodded.

"Why?" Old Madam Qin asked, "Is it because Areng is not good to you?"

Yu Yuetong shook her head and said, "No, Qin Reng is very good to me..."

"Why is that?" Old Madam Qin pressed.

Yu Yuetong was silent for a moment, then raised her head, looked at Madam Qin, and said, word by word, "Because... I don't love him."

The ward fell into a deathly silence.

Yu Yuetong felt her heart pounding like a drum, making her eardrums buzz. She secretly glanced at Qin Reng, only to find him with his head down, his expression unreadable.

Upon hearing this, Han Shuang immediately exploded: "Don't you love me? If you didn't love me, why did you rush to marry into this family in the first place? Have we, the Qin family, mistreated you or what? Now you're just leaving like this? What do you take our Areng for?"

"Mom..." Qin Reng wanted to say something, but Han Shuang pushed him away.

"Don't call me Mom! I don't have an unfilial son like you!" Han Shuang angrily pointed at Qin Reng's nose and cursed, "Who was it that insisted on marrying her in the first place? Now that the girl is not happy, who are you putting on this half-dead act for? Let me tell you, this marriage is off today, whether you like it or not!"

Yu Yuetong was a little confused by Han Shuang's sharp retort. She never expected this wealthy lady to be so... down-to-earth?

Looking at the chaotic scene before her, Old Madam Qin sighed heavily and tapped the floor with her cane: "Shut up, all of you!"

Suddenly, the ward fell silent.

Old Madam Qin's sharp gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Yu Yuetong. Her tone softened slightly: "Yuetong, are you really sure? Although Areng has a bit of a temper, he's not a bad person. If you've been wronged in any way, just tell Grandma, and Grandma will stand up for you."

Yu Yuetong opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found herself unable to utter a word. It would be a lie to say she didn't love Qin Reng. Before transmigrating into the book, she had spent three whole years admiring Qin Reng's photos! But now, occupying this body and facing Qin Reng's love, she felt immense guilt and unease.
