Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Both Vicious and Cowardly

Zhu Xinyan had never felt such panic before, unable to remember the lengthy monologues and the mocking she had prepared before coming here.

She was at a loss for words for a moment.

She wished she could leave immediately, wished she had never come!

After struggling for quite some time, she said in a low voice, "Why not me... I’ve already given him a daughter."

As soon as she said this, she was already defeated.

As if no matter how healthy, young, or beautiful she was,

she couldn’t compare in the slightest to the frail and wan woman lying in the sickbed before her.

Jiang Xiaoran’s name was simply Zhu Xinyan’s lifelong nightmare.

Jiang Xiaoran was Su Zhe’s mother’s name, lying on the hospital bed, her presence undiminished.

She smiled faintly, looking at Zhu Xinyan’s shivering and timidity as if enjoying a pleasing landscape.

After watching for a good while, Jiang Xiaoran finally said, "I can let you enter the Su Family’s door, I can make Su Yukan marry you. Of course, that’s if you’re obedient enough."

Zhu Xinyan felt as if she was hearing hallucinations, finding it hard to believe.

But Jiang Xiaoran did not seem like someone who would lie; Zhu Xinyan was like a traveler in the desert who had spotted an oasis.

As if she had seen the last hope.

Jiang Xiaoran had her conditions.
