Early the next morning, Ning Shan was already waiting at the door of the operating theater. Her eyes were burning with desire, and her hands were subconsciously pulling her sleeves. Just as she was burning with anxiety, two unexpected people suddenly appeared in front of her.

Ning Shan stood up in surprise and muttered, “Mom, sister, why are you here?”

Ning Shan’s mother looked at Ning Shan with a serious expression and said, “Why are you here in S City? I couldn’t believe it when Yun ‘er told me.”

Her eyes and brows reflected the memories of Ning Shan’s youth. Ning Shan thought of her mother’s love and suddenly felt a lump in her throat. She sobbed, “Mom, dad is sick and is in the operating room. I don’t know yet…”

“I know,” Mrs. Ning interrupted her. “I also know that you stole Yun’er’s fiancé for your father’s medical expenses.”

Ning Shan’s pupils dilated and her lips mumbled a few times. She could not help but retort, “I didn’t…”

Mrs. Ning did not want to hear her rebuttal at all. She reached out to stop her from continuing, reprimanding her sternly, “I didn’t know that after leaving you for ten years, you were actually raised by your father to be this crooked. You became a girl who would do anything for money.”

Ning Shan did not know how to explain herself, and she was so anxious that tears were about to fall.

Mrs. Ning softened her tone, “Shanshan, if your father knew how he got his medical fees, he would rather die than be treated. You don’t want him to worry about you, do you?”

Yes, her father was such a righteous and noble person. If he knew that his daughter sold herself for five million…Ning Shan didn’t dare to think about what would happen.

She was instantly scared. She took a step forward and begged her mother, “Mom, don’t tell dad. He’s still in treatment. His body can’t take the blow.”

Mrs. Ning’s expression relaxed. She patted Ning Shan’s shoulder and said, “As long as you promise mom to return Yun ‘er’s fiancé to her, we will definitely keep this matter a secret for you.”

“Return it to her?” Ning Shan did not understand. “How?”

“That’s easy.” Mrs. Ning was obviously prepared. She directly stated her requirements. “I heard that you’ve moved into the Gu family’s main residence? In the future, invite Yun’er to go there with you more when Gu Minghuai is at home.”

This was obviously to force Gu Minghuai and Ning Yun together. Ning Shan thought of Gu Minghuai’s unyielding behavior and couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment.

Now, Ning Yun was anxious. She couldn’t help but interrupt and ask, “Could it be that you’ve fallen in love with Gu Minghuai in such a short few days?”

“I didn’t.” Ning Shan shook her head and denied repeatedly, “I’m just afraid that as I’m a guest, inviting my sister over without permission is a little out of line.”

“That depends on how you do it. If you’re worried that because Gu Minghuai helped you pay for the medical expenses, wouldn’t it be settled if mom helps you pay that?” Mrs. Ning smiled and took out a card from her bag, “There’s two million in here. You deserve it.”

Ning Shan took the card and clenched it tightly. Suddenly, she whispered, “But Gu Minghuai gave me five million.”

Ning Yun heard what she said and pointed at Ning Shan’s nose. “Ning Shan, don’t ask for too much!”

Ning Yun’s mother’s expression changed and quickly returned to normal. She held Ning Yun’s hand and stopped her from doing anything else, she said calmly, “Five million is just a drop in the bucket for the Jiang family. Take it first. I’ll make up the three million later.”

Ning Shan wanted to say something else, but the light of the operating theater was suddenly extinguished. Not long after, the doctor walked out. He was clearly a little confused when he saw the twins. He chose Ning Shan from their expressions that differed and said the result, “The surgery was very successful.”

Ning Shan was so happy that she cried. At this moment, everything else was no longer important.

By the time she returned to the Gu family’s main residence, it was already late at night. She was afraid of waking everyone up, so she tiptoed back into the house and let out a long sigh of relief. She felt that all the fatigue in her body had been swept away by the excitement. She could not help but giggle.

Just as she was daydreaming, a deep male voice sounded, “Where did you go today? Why are you so happy?”

Ning Shan got up and looked at Gu Minghuai, who was sitting in the dark corner of the sofa. She said incredulously, “I locked the door. How did you get in?”
