The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 43

Chapter 43: Chapter 43

"What’s going on with you two, not answering calls? I thought something had happened to you!"

When Jiang Guosheng returned to the Jiang Family home, he saw Yu Man and Jiang Weiwei sitting in the living room, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

However, the mother and daughter ignored him, each sporting a blank expression.

"Aren’t we going to the hotel? I’ve already made arrangements there; as soon as you arrive, we can celebrate immediately."

Jiang Guosheng had originally planned to go to the cultural exhibition with Yu Man and the others.

But because he had to busy himself with arranging the hotel, he could only postpone it.

However, he had already made plans with a few friends to visit the exhibition tomorrow.

What Jiang Guosheng didn’t expect was that as soon as he mentioned the hotel, Jiang Weiwei suddenly covered her face and dashed upstairs.

"Weiwei, why are you crying?"

Jiang Guosheng was about to chase after Jiang Weiwei when he saw Yu Man also suddenly covering her face, weeping.

"All our pride and inner dignity is lost, what’s there to celebrate at the hotel?"

Jiang Guosheng became anxious as well: "What do you mean? What on earth happened?"

Pressed by his questioning, Yu Man explained the day’s events at the cultural hall.

Jiang Guosheng was instantly angered.

But Yu Man grabbed him, imploring him with all her might.

"It’s not all Weiwei’s fault, it was someone else’s blunder that caused all this; she didn’t want this to happen. She came home and has been crying until now, just barely stopping. If you go on like this, who knows how much longer she’ll cry..."

But this did not quell the anger in Jiang Guosheng’s heart.

"She’s caused such a huge blunder and still has the face to cry!"

Jiang Guosheng, wanting to rise above and be rid of his nemeses, even invited business rivals to the exhibition.

He wanted to show them that even if he, Jiang Guosheng, only had a daughter, she was still better than their several sons.

But now that the grand claims had been made, he was told that her piece wasn’t exhibited.

He couldn’t even begin to imagine how his rivals would laugh at him behind his back!

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated Jiang Guosheng became.

"But she didn’t do it on purpose; what could she have done? Do you really want to push her to death?"

Even though Yu Man also felt that they’d lost all face today, Jiang Weiwei was her pampered child, she truly couldn’t bear to see Jiang Weiwei punished by Jiang Guosheng, and so she was driven to tears.

Jiang Guosheng was annoyed by the crying, and could only say: "Fine, I won’t really drive her out, so why all the weeping?"

Hearing Jiang Guosheng’s words, Yu Man also felt more at ease and calmed down quite a bit.

But Jiang Guosheng spoke again: "However, the learning opportunity with the Information Security Department that I invested in, give that to Moxi."

Once he said this, Yu Man strongly opposed.

"Why? Didn’t we all agree it was for Weiwei?"

"Weiwei has disappointed me this time, whereas Moxi is our own flesh and blood after all; we need to pave the way for her future somewhat."

"But Moxi is mediocre in talent, even if she is given such a good opportunity, she’s not going to make much of it."

"I actually think Moxi is quite interested in computers and information technology. Didn’t you see her in her room, thoroughly engrossed in playing with that old broken laptop?"

Jiang Guosheng also said: "Some kids can do wonders with things they are interested in. Maybe one day, Moxi could pass the Information Security Department’s assessment and become an official National Security Department member."

Even a small member of the National Security Department is esteemed by ordinary people.

Xiao Qingyun’s brother, Xiao Zhi, is just such a junior member of the National Security Department.

Whenever Xiao Qingyun speaks of Xiao Zhi, there’s always a full measure of awe in her eyes.

Xiao Qingyun’s family actually doesn’t have much background, but whenever there’s anything going on with the Jiang Family, they always make a point of inviting the Xiao family, all because of Xiao Zhi.

If Jiang Moxi could become an official member of the National Security Department, then Yu Man would be the mother of a National Security Department member!

At that point, whether it’s Xiao Qingyun or other members of the Jiang Family, none would dare look down on her again!

The more Yu Man thought about it, the more she was tempted.

"When the invitation from the Information Security Department arrives, talk to Moxi about it."

Later, Yu Man also brought up to Jiang Guosheng the issue of planning a cosmetic surgery scheme for Jiang Moxi.

Jiang Guosheng actually felt that if Jiang Moxi were a bit more beautiful, it would indeed be beneficial for her future prospects.

But as they chatted eagerly about Jiang Moxi’s cosmetic surgery plan, they didn’t notice at the second-floor corner, a pair of eyes full of resentment were staring at them...

It was Jiang Weiwei!

She only intended to sneak a peek to see what their views were about today’s incident, wondering if they would continue to blame her?

Unexpectedly, she overheard them planning to give the precious opportunity to study at the Information Security Department—a chance they invested over ten million to secure for her—to Jiang Moxi because of her mistake today!

Just because she was not their biological child, that’s why they were so harsh on her!

Damn it, how could they so blatantly favor their own flesh and blood!

They even had the nerve to claim in front of her that they loved her, Jiang Weiwei, as their own daughter!

Jiang Weiwei hated these two people to death!

But for now, what worried her most was that if Jiang Moxi truly managed to enter the National Security Department after studying at the Information Security Department, there would no longer be a place for her in this family!

No...

She absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen, not even a one-in-ten-million chance.

All the wealth of Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man, as well as everything belonging to the Jiang Family, were hers!

She wouldn’t give a single bit to Jiang Moxi, so she must prevent Jiang Moxi from getting this opportunity at all costs!

After leaving the cultural center, Jiang Moxi went to the intensive care unit of the hospital.

She skillfully donned the blue isolation gown and stood in front of the hospital bed.

A young man lay motionless, his body riddled with tubes.

"Brother, you’ve been lying here for four years."

If it weren’t for the various monitors indicating signs of life, Jiang Moxi would have doubted whether he was still in this world.

She stood in front of the hospital bed for half a day.

Until the voice of the attending physician Zhang Lianggui came: "Moxi, I have a treatment plan for Mr. Feng, would you like to hear it?"

Jiang Moxi nodded and followed Zhang Lianggui to his office.

"Recently, there’s a technique involving the implantation of electrode plates at the back of the neck of vegetative patients to stimulate the brainstem and awaken them."

As soon as Zhang Lianggui entered his office, he directly shared the treatment plan.

"Are there any successful cases?" asked Jiang Moxi.

"Yes! A young patient who became vegetative after a motorcycle accident underwent the surgery two months ago and has now regained consciousness."

This case made Jiang Moxi’s eyes visibly brighten.

She had been hoping for Feng Ming to wake up every moment for the last four years!

But then Zhang Lianggui shifted his tone: "However, there are also failed cases. A patient with acute cerebral infarction passed away yesterday because of this surgery."

This failed case dimmed the light in Jiang Moxi’s eyes considerably.

Four years ago, when she was only sixteen, she resolutely brought Feng Ming to Yan City.

Over the years, no matter how heavy the burden of Feng Ming’s medical expenses on her young self, she gritted her teeth and bore it.

All of it was because she couldn’t bear to lose Feng Ming.

When she was abandoned by the Liang Family, it was Feng Ming who brought her back to the Emperor City Feng Family, providing her with a sheltering home and teaching her all about how to conduct oneself in society.

For her, Feng Ming was not only a brother but also a mentor.

Thus, she would comply with his commands unconditionally.

He told her to return to her biological parents in Yan City, so she came back.

He told her to hide her true identity, and she did just that.

The only thing she couldn’t do was to disregard his life or death...
