Chapter 2: The Stolen Fiancé, Part 2

“Brother Chen, that old woman is the mastermind who caused her own father’s death. What valuable thing could she possibly bring you?”

Su Wanwan was unwilling to accept this. She couldn’t understand why Fu Chen, who had previously treated her with special regard, suddenly sided with Jing Yunluo.

It seemed her mother was right—Jing Yunluo was nothing but a seductress who only knew how to lure men!

“Miss Su, no matter what, Miss Jing is still your elder half-sister. From what I see, the Jing family’s upbringing is indeed much better than the Su family’s.”

For some reason, Fu Chen felt that today was truly strange. Before today, Su Wanwan had no major flaws in his eyes—at most, she was a bit pretentious and spoiled.

But today, inexplicably, Fu Chen sensed something false about Su Wanwan, though he couldn’t quite pinpoint where the problem lay.

Upon hearing Fu Chen’s words, Su Wanwan felt utterly humiliated. Since childhood, her mother had always told her she was far superior to Jing Yunluo in every way.

So why, why was Fu Chen favoring Jing Yunluo today?

Su Wanwan felt she might lose control if she stayed any longer and had no choice but to turn and leave.

Fu Chen felt nothing about Su Wanwan’s departure, nor did he think he had gone too far. After all, this was how things had always been. His father and mother had always shown him through actions that only interests mattered; everything else could be discarded.

“I must be crazy—a girl who can barely hold onto her family’s business, what help could she possibly offer me?”

Fu Chen laughed bitterly to himself. “Fine, just consider it… a good deed.”

After all, to him, Su Wanwan was never the only choice, and the Su family was not the only potential partner.

However, shortly afterward, his assistant Xiao Zhu called to report that the land parcel taken away by the rival family last month was found to be contaminated with harmful chemicals and was unsuitable for any form of development.

This made the land previously acquired by the Fu family the only viable option for developing the commercial center.

“This can’t be! Jing Yunluo couldn’t have arranged this!”

Fu Chen’s disbelief was understandable—after all, his success in business over the years had never relied on luck.

Meanwhile, Jing Yunluo, clutching the bracelet she had received, headed straight to the hospital.

After Jing’s father passed away, Jing Yunluo was left with only her grandfather and second uncle. Unfortunately, Jing’s second uncle suffered a car accident in his youth, leaving him with disabled legs. He had been abroad for treatment for many years and only returned to the country to attend Jing’s father’s funeral. He hadn’t come back for twelve years since.

Jing’s grandfather had fallen into a coma three years ago. No one knew what had happened, and no one knew how Jing Yunluo had managed to live through the past three years.

———

“My lord, the original owner always saw Fu Chen as her last hope, thinking he could help her, but…”

“Tsk… Must I really capture Fu Chen?”

“Yes, my lord, we cannot simply change our target.”

“Fine, fine, I’ll suffer a little loss; I can manage.”

Honestly, apart from his looks, Fu Chen had very little that Jing Yunluo found admirable.

As Jing Yunluo argued with the system, the taxi driver announced they had arrived at the hospital.

Jing Yunluo paid the fare and, following the original owner's memories, sought out her grandfather’s ward.

Her grandfather’s condition was precarious. According to the original owner's memories, during her last visit, the doctor had said if he didn’t wake soon, it was unlikely he ever would.

But with Jing Yunluo here, that would be no problem. After all, she was the lucky little fairy!

“Grandpa, I’m here to see you!”

Jing Yunluo entered the VIP ward, placed the flowers aside, sat beside her grandfather, and held his hand.

“Grandpa is blessed by merit and virtue; he will surely be safe.”

She clearly saw a golden glow emanating from her grandfather—not much, but for an ordinary person in this world, it was remarkable.

Jing Yunluo didn’t understand why, despite the Jing family’s charitable deeds, they had such a tragic fate.

As the saying goes, “a family that does good will have abundant blessings.” Perhaps… her arrival in this world was not just to accomplish a mission but to ensure the justice of the heavens!

Her hand glowed faintly with a light invisible to others, carrying the blessings of the lucky little fairy.

That single blessing caused the grandfather, unconscious for three years, to open his eyes…

“Grandpa! You’re awake!”

Although it was expected, affected by the original owner’s emotions, Jing Yunluo was overwhelmed with joy and even shed tears unconsciously…

“Nan Nan… don’t cry…”

———

The newly awakened grandfather was weak. He tried to lift his hand to wipe his granddaughter’s tears but found he couldn’t, so he anxiously comforted her instead.

Jing Yunluo ordered the hospital to keep the news of her grandfather’s awakening confidential. Since it was the Jing family’s private hospital, as long as they wished to keep it secret, no information would leak out.

Jing Yunluo cared for her grandfather in the hospital for nearly half a month, using her blessing power every day to aid his recovery. Soon, he was able to get out of bed and walk.

The family doctor was puzzled—how could an elderly man suddenly wake from such a long coma and recover so quickly?

But since he was on the Jing family’s payroll, he knew what to ask and what not to ask. To Jing Yunluo, he simply said the old man had strong constitution and great fortune.

“Good Nan Nan, your grandfather was in a coma for so long. Did the Su family bully you again? And that stinky Fu boy—I could see three years ago he was no good. Surely he hasn’t stopped tormenting you all these years?”

Jing Yunluo smiled as she peeled an apple for her grandfather. “Uncle Su always told his daughter to stay away from me. As for Su Wanwan… a dog cannot change its nature, grandpa, you know that.

And Fu Chen… I really don’t understand how Uncle Fu and Aunt Qin raised a son who only cares about profit.”

The old man sighed deeply, “Ah… it’s my fault. I insisted on arranging a childhood engagement between you and that stinky boy with old Fu. Once I’m well enough, I’ll go to the Fu family and annul that engagement for you!”

Jing Yunluo handed him the apple with a sweet smile. “Alright, alright, as long as grandpa gets better, I’ll do anything!”

“Nan Nan, why didn’t you let them announce to the outside world that grandpa has awakened?”

Hearing this, Jing Yunluo’s smile faltered. “Grandpa, three years ago when you fell into a coma… was there something else going on?”

The old man’s smile faded as he fell silent, unwilling to say anything.

Seeing his expression, Jing Yunluo guessed the truth…

“Was it Liu Yu’er?”

“Nan Nan…”

The grandfather sighed again, clearly confirming Jing Yunluo’s suspicion.

The Liu Yu’er he referred to was the original owner’s biological mother, and also Su Wanwan’s biological mother…
