Su He sat up straight on the bed. “What did you say?! Qiao Nuan is alive and well, how could she die?”

Outside the ward, Lawyer Wang looked at Qiao Nuan with a questioning gaze. He realized that Qiao Nuan was also at a loss.

The two of them held their breaths and continued eavesdropping on the conversation in the ward.

“Brother Su He can’t bear to part with Sister? Unfortunately, Sister is like her mother who died early, destined for a short life.”

Su He frowned as he looked at Qiao Yu, whose eyebrows were about to fly up. “Why are you keeping me in suspense? Explain it to me carefully. What’s going on? Is Qiao Nuan sick? Or are you plotting something?”

“It seems that Brother Su He really likes Sister.” Qiao Yu gritted her teeth and said, “Brother Su He, don’t you know that Sister Qiao Nuan inherited her mother’s mental illness? Sooner or later, she will be unable to handle the provocation and commit suicide.”

“Is what you said true? Do you have any proof?” Su He was a little hesitant. “Did you make up this rumor to stop me from being together with Qiao Nuan?”

“Regarding the cause of Qiao Nuan’s mother’s death, you will know once you investigate. There is a high probability that the mental illness is hereditary. Father said that Sister Qiao Nuan’s current condition is very similar to the period before her mother’s death.”

“Is that what Mr. Qiao said?”

“Of course, Father also said that this sort of illness causes aggressiveness, which is why Sister has become so violent.”

Seeing that Su He seemed to have believed it, Qiao Yu quickly seized the opportunity to pursue him. “If Brother Su He and Sister are together, they might become the target of Sister’s violent outbursts. What if Sister loses control of her emotions one day and is prepared to kill someone?”

Su He was so frightened by Qiao Yu’s description that his face turned pale. He could not help but shrink under the blanket. “You, let me think about it…”

Qiao Nuan, who was outside the door, could not bear to listen any longer. She kicked open the door of the ward.

With a loud bang, the two people in the ward looked towards the door.

“You two are very happy to badmouth me together.” Qiao Nuan crossed her arms and sneered. “Thank you for your concern about my mental condition. Rest assured that I have no intention of committing suicide for the time being.”

“Sis, Sis…”Qiao Yu’s face turned pale from the sudden appearance of Qiao Nuan. “Why are you at the hospital?”

“Didn’t you say that I’m mentally ill? Of course, I have to come to the hospital to have my brain examined.” Qiao Nuan looked Qiao Yu up and down before finally fixing her gaze on Qiao Yu’s nose. “What about you? Are you here to have your nose fixed?”

Qiao Yu subconsciously covered her nose, and her face instantly turned red. She really hated Qiao Nuan, who had once again exposed her secrets.

Qiao Nuan did not want to pay attention to Qiao Yu, who only knew how to play petty tricks. She looked at Su He on the hospital bed, and when she saw his miserable appearance, she nodded in satisfaction at her masterpiece.

“Su He, I brought a lawyer here to discuss the annulment with you,” Qiao Nuan said straightforwardly. “We had already verbally agreed to annul the engagement five years ago, but we did not have the time to go through the legal process to annul the original agreement. Now, let’s not waste each other’s time.”

“But Qiao Nuan, five years is enough for us to change a lot.” Su He looked at Qiao Nuan sincerely. “Five years have passed. I don’t want to break off the engagement anymore.”

Qiao Nuan’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Are you sure you don’t want to break off the engagement? You heard what Qiao Yu said just now. I’m mentally ill. I might stab you with a knife one day.”

Su He was a self-centered person. Hearing what Qiao Nuan said, he immediately hesitated.

Qiao Yu also added fuel to the fire. “Brother Su He, you heard what Sister said as well. Just break off the engagement.”

“Is there any place for you to interject here?” Qiao Nuan’s indifferent gaze pierced Qiao Yu and she sneered. “Shut your mouth quietly. I’ll settle the score with you later!”

Qiao Yu was shocked by her frightening gaze and kept her mouth shut, not daring to say another word.

However, Qiao Nuan’s arrogant look stunned Su He.

After a long while, Su He hesitantly asked, “Qiao Nuan, you were lying just now, right? You’re not mentally ill, right?”

Qiao Nuan clicked her tongue impatiently, “Whether I’m mentally ill or not, our marriage has to be annulled. There’s no room for negotiation. Do you understand?!”

“As long as you’re not mentally ill, I will never annul the marriage!” Su He seemed to have made up his mind. He said firmly, “Nuan Nuan, I really want to be with you. Don’t reject me anymore, okay?”

Why was Su He such an annoying person? Qiao Nuan almost tore her hair out and shouted.

However, Qiao Yu was clearly more devastated than Qiao Nuan. “Brother Su He, you’re still stubborn, even now? What’s so good about Qiao Nuan? why are you so reluctant to let go of her?”

“How can you be so sure about love?” Su He looked at Qiao Nuan lovingly. “Nuan Nuan, can you give me a chance? I’ll let you understand my feelings.”

“Brother Su He, are you crazy? Even if Qiao Nuan successfully lost weight, she’s still a lunatic with a bastard child! Why do you have to be with her?”
