An Yi Xuan said: You don't understand him; he never changes the way he talks, at least I've seen it.
Liu Hongfang said: Yixuan, I'm your cousin, how can you watch your cousin die?
An Yi Xuan said: Aunt, you speak too much, offending him so much that he has offended, what should I say?
Liu Hongfang said: It's all because of you, isn't it? If I had known it would turn out like this, would I have done it like that?
An Yi Xuan said: I don't understand what you're saying. You have offended Mo Wenjie and now you want to ask for help from him, but you want to blame me for it? And even say it's for me?
Chang Xiaoyue said: Sister-in-law, that's not right. You want to let Little Mo treat you, you should try to ask for his forgiveness, how can you involve Yixuan and say it's because of Yixuan.
Liu Hongfang said: Of course, it's because of Yixuan. Otherwise, I have no grudge against him, why would I single him out?
An Yi Xuan said: You need to make it clear, how could it be only for me?
Liu Hongfang said: Since high school, Zeng Chenggang, the son of Zhang Shikai, the richest man in our county, has liked you. He swore that he would marry you as his wife. They have asked me several times to introduce you to them. I thought their family is rich and if you marry into their family, your life would be free from worries about food and drink. So I agreed to introduce you to them.
An Yi Xuan heard this and her lungs were so angry that she said: "What kind of person is Zhang Chenggang? Everyone in our county knows him. He is involved in all kinds of vices, such as food, drink, prostitution, and gambling. He was involved in many girls' pregnancies in high school. Who among his classmates doesn't know?" She continued: "You even want me to marry him, and you have the nerve to say it's for my good? You are pushing me into a fire pit."
Liu Hongfang said: How can you speak to Yixuan like this? Who among young people hasn't made a mistake at some point? Should we always focus on others' past mistakes? How do you know they haven't improved themselves since then? Furthermore, even if he has flaws, after marriage, you can live as a rich lady with no worries about food or clothing. This is much better than constantly working for money and running around east and west, exhausted all the time.
An Yi Xuan said: You're unreasonable. My parents don't interfere with my marriage, so why do you have to make decisions for me? I said that when Mo Wenjie came to the hospital, you were looking down your nose and finding fault with him everywhere. It turns out you thought he was my boyfriend and were afraid he would affect your match-making plan. How much benefit have you received from the Zhang family to make you work so hard to target Mo Wenjie?
Liu Hongfang said: "Yixuan, what are you saying? I am only thinking about your future happiness. Why would I ask for any benefits?"
An Yi Xuan said: Who believes you didn't take any benefits when you hear that? Is it normal behavior to try so hard to exclude the men around me?
Chang Xiaoyue said: Sister-in-law, not to be unkind, but if you truly want what's best for Yixuan, you would take the time to understand and compare the boys who come into her life, and then give her your opinion. Instead, when a boy appears around Yixuan, you just push them away without a second thought. Is that really acting in Yixuan's best interest?
Liu Hongfang said: "Yixuan is my direct niece, how could I harm her? After all, there can only be one 'An' in a pen. I genuinely want Yixuan to have a better life in the future."
An Yi Xuan said: I have never dreamed of living a life of luxury. I just want to live a stable life, relying on my own efforts to live a happy life.
Liu Hongfang said: Since you can't understand my good intentions, there's nothing I can do. Aunt still hopes you could talk to Mo Wenjie for me and help me out!
An Yi Xuan said: I have no face to ask him for help again. He has given me a lot of face by helping my mother, and he could come to see her only because of me. If you want him to help, go ask him yourself.
Liu Hongfang was embarrassed and furious: "Yixuan, I'm your cousin. How can you see me die without helping? Do you not care about any family ties at all?"
An Yi Xuan said: I truly am helpless.
An Hongming said: "Yixuan, regardless of how wrong your aunt may be, she is still your direct cousin. You may not be thinking about her as your aunt, but you cannot forget your uncle and Yijia. If something were to happen to her, our whole family would fall apart."
An Yi Jia said with tears rolling down her cheeks, "Sister, my mother is my mother no matter what big mistakes she may have made. Others can choose to ignore her, but I cannot. Sister, I kneel down and beg you to let Mo Wenjie help my mother get treated."
An Yi Jia knelt down before An Yi Xuan, putting her in a difficult position. Whether she helps or not, her younger cousin is not at fault, and she's kneeling and begging her. If she helps, how can she approach Mo Wenjie? After all, they've already said harsh things to him. Nevertheless, for Uncle and her cousin, she can only kneel down and beg Mo Wenjie. She helped An Yi Jia up and said, "I can't guarantee that he will help out for sure, but I can only try to beg him."
An Yi Jia said: "Thank you, sister. No matter what the outcome is, we can rest assured that we have done our best!"
An Yi Xuan called Mo Wenjie and said: "Mo Wenjie, please come up for a moment."
Mo Wenjie said: "It's been so long and you're still not ready? Then I'll go up there."
Mo Wenjie came to the ward and said: "An Yi Xuan, what else haven't you finished packing? Why did you make me come up again?"
An Yi Xuan said: "Mo Wenjie, can you help my aunt treat her?"
Mo Wenjie said: "No!"
An Yi Xuan said: "Mo Wenjie, I know you're angry, but she is still my aunt. Even if she has done something wrong, I cannot just stand by and watch her die. I didn't want to ask you earlier, but my cousin knelt down and begged me. She is innocent."
An Yi Xuan knelt down in front of Mo Wenjie and said: "Mo Wenjie, please help her!"
Mo Wenjie said: "Are you sure you want me to help save her?"
An Yi Xuan said: "I'm sure!"
Mo Wenjie said: "No matter what the consequences are, you won't regret it?"
An Yi Xuan hesitated upon hearing this and then said, "I won't regret it!"
Mo Wenjie said: "Please get up, I'll help her out."
An Yi Xuan stood up and said: "Thank you, Mo Wenjie!"
Mo Wenjie said, "No need!" Then he took out silver needles and controlled them with his Qi, shooting out thirteen needles.
If Mu Jianchun was here, he would definitely exclaim that it's the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles.
Three minutes later, Mo Wenjie retracted the silver needles and said, "She was already going to die in two months. Now she's fine. I've given you face, An Yi Xuan. From now on, we're strangers. Take care of yourself."
An Yi Xuan, upon hearing this, couldn't help but shed tears. She choked back her sobs and said, "Why, Mo Wenjie? Do we not even have the chance to be friends anymore?"
Mo Wenjie said, "I asked you earlier if you were sure you wouldn't regret it no matter what the consequences were. You said you were sure. I'm a martial artist, and what I say must be followed. I said that even if she kneels down and begs me for help, I won't reach out. If I do, my heart will not be stable, and I will not be able to achieve enlightenment. We are friends, but when you kneel down and beg me for help, I can't help but reach out. If I don't reach out, the feelings will be difficult to overcome; if I do reach out, my heart will not be stable; if I do reach out, our friendship will have been severed with no more connections between us to allow me to achieve enlightenment. That's all there is to it. Take care of yourself!" After saying this, he turned around and left the ward to go back to his residence in Xincheng. He packed up his things in the car at the hospital gate and left the key in his room before checking into a hotel instead.
An Yi Xuan, in the hospital ward, cried uncontrollably and shouted wildly: "Get out, all of you! Go away!" An Hongming, along with Liu Hongfang and An Yi Jia, hurriedly left the ward.
An Yi Xuan sat on the ground, wailing and crying, her heart aching as if it were being sliced open. She felt pain beyond endurance. Watching Mo Wenjie leave with an expression of determination, she knew that the beautiful life she once had was slipping away from her, and there was no possibility of going back. Her gaze was unfocused as she sat silently on the ground.
An Hongzhi and Chang Xiaoyue saw their daughter in such a state and felt deeply hurt, but they had no words to express their sorrow.
Liu Hongfang left the ward, looking delighted and with a spring in her step.
An Yi Jia said: "Mom, your niece is in this state because of you. How can you still smile?"
Liu Hongfang said: "Why can't I smile? My illness is cured, I'm happy. They've cut off ties with each other, and that makes me happy. Zhang Chenggang has another chance, and if I can bring this about, the Zhang family has promised to give me two million yuan. That's two million yuan, you know? Your dad could never earn that in a lifetime. How could I not be happy?"
An Yi Jia said: "Dad, I'm going to live at school from now on. I won't come home anymore."
Liu Hongfang said: "Dying girl, I did all this for you. Am I in the wrong?"
An Yi Jia walked away without looking back.
The next morning, Mo Wenjie came to the company's eighth floor.
Fang Ling said, "Mo Wenjie, Su General Manager and Miss Zhou are waiting for you in the office."
Mo Wenjie said, "Is it this early for everyone to start work now? I arrived ten minutes early."
Fang Ling said, "They even came earlier than me. Hurry and go!"
Mo Wenjie knocked on the door, and a voice from inside said, "Come in!"
Mo Wenjie pushed the door open and said, "Good morning, Su General Manager, good morning, Miss Zhou!"
Su Xueqing said, "Please sit down!"
Mo Wenjie said, "Assistant Fang said you were waiting for me, is there something specific?"
Su Xueqing said, "Is there nothing important that can be done by asking you?"
Mo Wenjie said, "Yes, yes, yes. As the boss, you have the right to summon your employees, and I will definitely be there at any time."
Su Xueqing said, "Don't be cheeky. How is An Yi Xuan's mother's condition?"
Mo Wenjie said: "She has recovered!"
Zhou Qianqian said, "Let's have lunch together today and invite An Yi Xuan. We want to meet her."
Mo Wenjie said: "You won't get a chance to see her anymore."
Zhou Qianqian said: "Why? Are you afraid we'll ruin your good fortune?"
Mo Wenjie said: "We are no longer friends. I've moved out of her place and stayed in a hotel last night."
Zhou Qianqian and Su Xueqing, upon hearing this, both felt unbelievable and exclaimed in unison: "Why?"
Mo Wenjie recounted the events of yesterday.
Su Xueqing said: "So the situation was so serious?"
Mo Wenjie said: "A cultivator is about stabilizing one's heart path. The love realm includes kinship, friendship, and romance. Not saving one's relatives or friends in need is ruthless and can extinguish humanity, making one no different from a beast. One who loses their humanity cannot achieve enlightenment. What one says must follow the law; to arbitrarily change one's heart path is unstable. When the two meet, one must be severed."
Su Xueqing said: "So serious!"
Zhou Qianqian said: "Then I will have to be careful in the future. An Yi Xuan is a warning for me!"
Mo Wenjie said: "What do you two have to do with each other?"
Zhou Qianqian said: "She let me know how to make decisions when facing similar problems."
Su Xueqing said: "An Yi Xuan is just a fool!"
Zhou Qianqian said: "What do you mean by that?"
