“Saying that me and my mom are jinxes, I would say that it is you. Your family is always taking advantage of Grandma. Now that something happened to the Qiao family, are you truly sad or are you faking it?

“You’re crying so loudly, but please go and take a look at yourself in the mirror. There’s not even a hint of a single tear!”

Li Ying looked at the sharp-tongued Nan Zhi, and her expression changed, too angry to say anything for a while.

Li Ying then threw herself into Mr Pei’s arms. “Hubby, look. How dare a wild brat speak to me like that? Now Sister’s life is in danger, Yanze is locked up and possibly will not be able to come out again. The Qiao family will be counting on you and Xuan’er, so you have to stand up for me!”

Even before, Mr Pei could not stand Nan Zhi. She was a junior but was so rude and never respected them.

He went towards Nan Zhi, and raised his hand, wanting to slap her to teach her a lesson, but before he touched her, his hand was pushed away by An Feng.

An Feng was usually gentle but it did not mean that she could stand others bullying her daughter!

“Uncle, you have no right to hit Zhizhi. I’m the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, and while I’m still standing here, who dares to even touch a finger of Zhizhi?”

A dark look flashed past Mr Pei’s eyes. He was about to say something when the door to the operating room was pulled open by the doctor.

Nan Zhi and An Feng had no mood to care about Mr Pei and Li Ying and they hurried over.

“How’s my mom?”

“How’s my grandma?”

The doctor shook his head gravely. “The patient has asked An Feng and Nan Zhi to go in.”

Li Ying and Mr Pei came forward, asking in unison, “She didn’t ask us to go in?”

The doctor shook his head.

Nan Zhi and An Feng went inside the operating room quickly.

Madam Qiao lay on the operating table, already at death’s door.

Nan Zhi’s eyes filled with tears and countless memories filled her mind.

From Madam Qiao’s graceful and n.o.ble appearance when she first met her, to her disgusted face when she disliked her, her regret when they got reunited, and the care she had given her when she was welcomed into the Qiao family…

Although she did not grow up with her, she felt the care and love a grandmother had for her granddaughter.

Grandma and Uncle doted on her so much, but in a blink of an eye, they…

Nan Zhi knelt on the ground and hot tears fell uncontrollably. Coldness spreaded from the sole of her feet all the way to her body.

“Grandma, why were you so foolish?” Nan Zhi sobbed through her tears.

Madam Qiao covered Nan Zhi’s hand with An Feng’s and said weakly, “Feng, Mom has done you wrong. Ever since your father left, I’ve wanted to follow him. I might have been dead if I hadn’t known that my daughter was still outside somewhere.

“Zhizhi, you’re a strong and intelligent child. Promise Grandma that you will take good care of your mother, and your uncle. He made a serious mistake this time and I don’t know if he can come out, but…”

Madam Qiao choked on her breath and coughed, and blood rushed out of her mouth.

“I have a jewelry box in the cabinet of the ward. There’s a bracelet inside. Take it to see the Queen and tell her I’m gone and hope that she can save your uncle. Show her the bracelet…

“Feng, Zhizhi, don’t cry. I can see your grandfather now and be free…”

Nan Zhi looked at the feeble Madam Qiao and she sobbed.

“If your uncle can be saved, I think he will be depressed. Zhizhi, you must help him.”

Nan Zhi’s lips trembled. “Grandma, I will, I will. Please, don’t go, don’t go…”
