“If you want to go back and see Old Master An, I have a way.” In the car, Mo Yunchuan saw Ye Shaohua’s somewhat distracted look and couldn’t help but sigh.
At his words, Ye Shaohua shifted her gaze and took a while to understand what he was talking about.
“No need, he won’t be in danger.” Old Master An had been taking medicine for over a month, and although this shock was a bit much, it wouldn’t affect him too much.
Mo Yunchuan frowned and glanced at her.
Ye Shaohua felt his gaze but didn’t turn her head this time, just looked at the neon lights outside the window.
After a long while, Mo Yunchuan heard her low voice, “…Do people who don’t want their own children really exist in this world?”
Her voice was so light that Mo Yunchuan almost thought it was an illusion, but before he could answer, she closed her eyes, leaving him with a sense of panic.
Although she had always been beyond his predictions, this time the feeling was particularly strong.
The Ye and Xiu families had switched children by mistake, but no one had truly meant to abandon her…
Mo Yunchuan turned his head and looked at her long eyelashes, his lips pursed slightly.
He must have…overthought it.
**
The An Family had such a crisis, and the Pei Family, their friends of several decades, hurried over.
An Toutou left in a daze following Ye’s mother.
But she hadn’t expected to see Pei Xu’s car at the front door, her eyes brightened, and she walked forward to grab Pei Xu’s hand, “Pei…”
Pei Xu shifted slightly, avoiding her hand, then looked at her with an extremely complicated gaze.
“I am your fiancée, haven’t you forgotten, Pei Xu?” An Toutou’s eyes widened, almost hysterically.
“Old Master An just said that the engagement is cancelled…” Pei Xu walked towards the door, pausing mid-sentence, and glanced sideways, “Besides, this engagement was never meant for you.”
After he spoke, he entered the An Family gate with Madame Pei, leaving An Toutou alone at the door, her expression twisting into something frightful.
“Pei Xu, what do you think of Shaohua?” Mr. Pei, watching An Liguo’s state, couldn’t help asking his son, “Now that the An Family will acknowledge Shaohua too, your engagement is legitimate.”
Ye Shaohua, he heard from Old Master An, is a very smart and obedient child, and he felt she suited his son well.
At these words, Pei Xu also froze for a moment, the image of a refined and aloof face surfacing in his mind.
This hesitation made Madame Pei speak first, “Since Old Master An has said the engagement is cancelled, then let it be cancelled.”
Madame Pei always believed her son was the best and that none of the high-born ladies of Imperial City were good enough for him, An Toutou might barely pass, but as for Ye Shaohua…
A girl from an ordinary family simply lacked the upbringing, not to mention status and position, she didn’t want her son to be slighted.
And after what happened with An Toutou, something gnawed at her within.

Without the agreement of the three, Mr. Pei couldn’t rightly mention the matter in front of Old Master An, so it was dropped.
The An Family announced to various major media outlets overnight that Ye Shaohua was indeed the An Family’s Young Lady. Following closely was the news that An Liguo was critically ill and hospitalized. The collision of these two pieces of news caused great turmoil within the An Family.
With An Liguo in the hospital, all the company’s affairs weighed heavily on An Tingjun.
He had to watch his grandfather’s health, was extremely worried about An Liguo’s safety, and was troubled about the Ye Shaohua matter. Some directors at the An Family, seeing a junior taking the lead, began to challenge An Tingjun with ulterior motives.
An Tingjun was not in a good state.
And at this moment, An Toutou suddenly turned traitor, convincing one of the An Family’s investors to leave.
“An Toutou, have you forgotten who brought you to meddle in the company’s affairs?” Seeing her behave this way, one of Old Master An’s old confidants was enraged, “Liguo trusted you so much, how could you kick him while he is still in ICU, you might not be the An Family’s Young Lady, but the An Family raised you with at least the grace of upbringing!”
The An Family had raised An Toutou and An Tingjun in a similar fashion.
Seeing that she had a knack for financial management, An Liguo took her to a negotiation. An Toutou guessed all the thoughts of the counterpart using ‘mind-reading’ and speculated on some of his secrets, which put the upper hand of the negotiation in An Toutou’s hands.
This time she brought in an investment of 400 million yuan.
It was also then that her talent in economic management spread throughout the circle, and everyone praised the An Family for raising a good daughter.
No one expected today’s situation to arise.
“Gratitude for raising me?” An Toutou looked at him with a sneer, “The only thing concerning me about the An Family right now is that I think you should be more concerned about the An Family’s situation. Without this investment, you’d better figure out how to fill this gap.”
An Toutou didn’t plan to go down with the ship, but even the Xiu Family didn’t want her anymore!
If she was going to suffer, why should she watch Ye Shaohua have it easy?
She was determined to show Ye Shaohua that even without the An Family, she, An Toutou, could still live better than Ye Shaohua!
Want to be the Young Lady of the An Family? She never had that fate before and she wouldn’t have it in the future!
The An Family’s major project had a total planned investment of 1 billion yuan. Now someone had withdrawn their investment, making it obvious the project couldn’t continue. With the capital turnover unable to keep up, the An Family employees’ salaries couldn’t be paid, and bankruptcy was just a matter of time.
As for finding an investment?
Not to mention that there weren’t many who could come up with 400 million yuan in liquid funds in a short time; even if there were, they wouldn’t dare take the risk when the An Family was without a leader.
After all, the An Family had been too unstable recently and An Liguo was critically ill.
All responsibilities had fallen on An Tingjun’s shoulders, and hardly anyone had faith in him.
Actually, the circle had known about the affair between the An Family and Ye Family for quite a while, but no one had expected the An Family to announce it like this.
Many shook their heads in private, saying that the An Family traded an exceptionally outstanding daughter for a mediocre one and made a bad deal. If that was not enough, it seemed they were about to sacrifice the entire An Family.
The internet was also buzzing with excitement.
Netizens had a great interest in such melodramatic high-society drama, and after An Toutou’s voice leaks hit the internet, she couldn’t garner a speck of sympathy online.
Others speculated that under these circumstances, Ye Shaohua, the legitimate heiress, must be suffering. She had just returned; was she about to go bankrupt too?
Some even guessed if she would take all that An Toutou once had.
Were they about to fight to the death?
But nobody expected that at 10:30 in the morning, while they were arguing heatedly and An Toutou was smiling smugly, a photo swept across the globe.
On this side, Lady Pei had just left the hospital after accompanying Mrs. An. Pei Xu was picking her up to go to the An Family Commercial Building.
A black Bentley stopped at the base of the tallest commercial building in Imperial City.
“It was very quiet at the Military District hospital today,” Lady Pei pressed her temples, “Almost all of the cardiologists were absent. Fortunately, Mr. An had connections, otherwise the chairman An would have been in danger this time.”
I don’t know why, although it’s usually difficult to make appointments with specialist doctors, it shouldn’t be too hard given the An Family’s influence.
But today, finding one was so difficult, and with An Liguo in an emergency situation, Mrs. An nearly collapsed.
Speaking of this, Pei Xu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as well. As he noticed more traffic police at every intersection, he tapped on the steering wheel, “It is a bit strange, the security today is very strict.”
Such scenes were rarely seen in Imperial City, so naturally, Pei Xu found it odd.
And there was not even a whisper of news.
Pei Xu couldn’t help but think of the An Family’s personal doctor at the Military District hospital, feeling that he must know something.
“These matters are not related to us ordinary businessmen,” Lady Pei shook her head as she got out of the car, “We can’t take care of such things either. Let’s go up first and see the situation with the An Family.”
Hearing these words, Pei Xu too got out of the car.
One of the directors of the An Family was standing at the base of the building, looking haggard. Upon seeing Lady Pei, he immediately came forward with a bitter smile, “Lady Pei, Young Mr. Pei.”
“Tingjun has caused too much trouble this time. Now that Liguo is hospitalized, he can’t handle it all by himself, and Shaohua hasn’t shown her face from start to finish. Even if she did, it wouldn’t change anything. Since she was young, she never learned about managing the company. If Toutou were still here…” the director trailed off, shaking his head.
As he was speaking, he saw Mrs. An get out of the car but not walk away. Instead, she stood there startled, looking up in the direction of the Commercial Building.
“Mrs. An, what are you…” The director looked in the direction she was staring at, and the rest of his words got stuck in his throat as his eyes nearly popped out of his head.
In the middle of the Commercial Building was a huge screen, which was one of the highest traffic spots in the country. The screen usually displayed renowned brand advertisements, with a rate of 100,000 yuan per minute, indicative of its value.
But at the moment they got out of their car, the screen, which was playing ads, suddenly switched to an image, and the words kept changing on it—
[Ye Shaohua—the young girl of the Medical World, the future of the Medical World.]
