Chapter 98: I Want to Destroy Her

Fan Xiaoyou did not know how long she had stood by the window. Only when her feet began to ache and tingle did she finally turn away.

She also had no idea when He Lu had left the room. In all her thoughts just then, there had been only one figure: Wang Guocheng.

She sniffled, changed out of the hospital gown in the bathroom, and put on her own clothes.

Then she pressed the call button. "Please help me with my discharge papers."

The nurse sounded puzzled on the phone. "Miss Fan, I’m sorry, but you lost too much blood yesterday. According to the doctor’s treatment plan, you still need to stay in the hospital for another seven days.

We have to keep monitoring your blood counts at all times. Once your hemoglobin and everything else returns to normal, then you may be discharged."

In truth, Fan Xiaoyou knew her own condition better than anyone. But since the hospital would not discharge her, she had no choice but to remain there. She let out a soft sigh and hung up.

"On a cloudy evening, outside the car window..." Her phone rang, and Yang Yeyeh's anxious voice came through the line.

"Xiaoyou, what happened? Guocheng told me you were admitted to the hospital, and he asked me to come by when I had time to take care of you."

Fan Xiaoyou did not want Yang Yeyeh to know about saving Tang Ling, nor did she want any more trouble.

"Yeyeh, it’s nothing. I’m fine here, just a little cold. A drip will be enough. Guocheng is just worrying too much..."

Yang Yeyeh teased her over the phone. "You’ve got some nerve, getting someone to fly in overnight just because of a little cold. You really are something else!"

From the way Yang Yeyeh said it, Fan Xiaoyou guessed that Wang Guocheng had not told her the full story of her hospitalization.

Because if Yang Yeyeh knew that Fan Xiaoyou had saved Tang Ling, the same ungrateful wretch who had once hurt her, she would definitely have stormed the hospital in a rage, and the whole place would have turned upside down.

Fan Xiaoyou quickly changed the subject. "By the way, Yeyeh, did you go for your prenatal checkup yet? Is the baby all right? The due date should be soon, shouldn’t it?"

The mention of her child lit Yang Yeyeh’s face with a glow of happiness. "The baby is perfectly healthy. The doctor said there’s no major problem. The due date is in about two months. You just wait to be a great-aunt!"

Fan Xiaoyou was genuinely happy for her. "As long as the baby is healthy, that’s all that matters. You shouldn’t be running around so much these days either.

Yeyeh, if it really doesn’t work, why don’t you quit your job? Let Kaizi support you. Your work keeps you out and about all the time, and all that socializing is never good for the baby."

At the mention of work, Yang Yeyeh was full of grievance. "Xiaoyou, my supervisor has transferred me. Now I’ve been put in the administrative office.

They make it sound nice, like I’m deputy director of the office or something, but in reality I’m being sent around on errands all day long. They don’t care that I’m pregnant at all. I was freer when I was in sales..."

Hearing that Yang Yeyeh was being bossed around after being moved to an administrative position, Fan Xiaoyou was displeased.

"If they’re bullying you, then just stop doing it. Besides, Kaizi is earning money now. Our family can afford to support one pregnant woman."

Yang Yeyeh chided her over the phone, "Don’t bring up your brother. Every time you do, I get angry.

I don’t know what got into him. He quit his job, and now he’s busy all day with who knows what. He’s so mysterious, and no matter what I ask, he won’t say."

Fan Xiaoyou was puzzled. "Why would Kaizi quit? His old company was the kind everyone in Kangcheng would fight to get into. The salary and benefits there were enough to make anyone jealous."

Yang Yeyeh said irritably, "How about this, I’ll come find you. I’ve already asked for leave from work these past two days anyway. Since I’ve got nothing to do, I might as well come by and keep you company."

With that, Yang Yeyeh quickly hung up before Fan Xiaoyou could refuse.

Fan Xiaoyou rubbed her temple, already headachy at the thought of how she would face Yang Yeyeh in a moment. Knowing Yang Yeyeh’s temperament, once she arrived at the hospital she would definitely go straight to the front desk and demand answers.

And once she learned the truth, with that fiery temper of hers she would surely tear Tang Ling’s ward apart.

Just after Fan Xiaoyou came out of the room and was heading toward the nurses’ station, she heard the sound of Yang Yeyeh arguing with a nurse from that direction.

"What? You’re saying Fan Xiaoyou was admitted to the hospital because she donated blood to that slut and lost too much blood... Tell me, which ward is that slut in? I’m going to cut her to pieces."

The nurse looked awkward as she tried to stop her. "Miss, I’m sorry, but Ms. Tang’s condition is rather special right now. No one is allowed to visit without the hospital’s permission."

Yang Yeyeh rolled up her sleeves angrily. "No. I have to settle accounts with that Tang wench. She’s the one who made our Xiaoyou lose so much blood. That slut doesn’t even want to live, and she still wants to drag others down with her... I... I’m going to go tear her apart."

Fan Xiaoyou hurried forward and hugged the hysterical Yang Yeyeh from behind. "Yeyeh, calm down! You’re pregnant right now. You can’t get this agitated!"

The nurse also found it strange, silently guessing whether this Ms. Tang Ling was the husband’s mistress, otherwise how could the pregnant woman in front of her be so emotionally worked up?

When Yang Yeyeh saw that it was Fan Xiaoyou holding her back, she immediately burst into a furious scolding.

"You... you really never learn! Why did you save that vicious woman with a heart full of snakes and scorpions?

Have you forgotten who was behind it when you were abducted into that pyramid-selling den back then? And when you nearly got sold to a hotel to become a prostitute, almost ruining your reputation, have you forgotten that too?

Fan Xiaoyou, what am I supposed to say about you? Are you stupid or just naive? Why would you save such a bad woman?

The filthy things she’s done could fill whole streets. And you still have the heart of a saint, saving that kind of trash."

Fan Xiaoyou clung to Yang Yeyeh and sobbed. "Yeyeh, I know you’re doing this for my sake. Tang Ling did hurt me before, but she’s already gotten what was coming to her, hasn’t she? She’s miserable enough now. I can’t kick her when she’s down.

Yeyeh, do you know what happened to Tang Ling? She was locked in a basement and raped, subjected to perverse captivity, with not a single patch of unblemished skin on her body...

When the police found her, she was already on the verge of death, and even now her mind still isn’t right... Can you bear to cut her down when she’s in such a state?"

Yang Yeyeh was unconvinced. She felt no sympathy at all for Tang Ling’s suffering. In her eyes, Tang Ling was not pitiful in the slightest. On the contrary, this was simply retribution for the evil she had done. A woman who had committed so many wicked acts—what kind of good ending could she possibly hope for? Even heaven would probably not agree.

Yang Yeyeh seethed with indignation, and she had no intention of forgiving Tang Ling. She was not so broad-minded.
