Chapter 365: Completely Over

**Chapter 365: The Final End**

Jiang Yi asked, “Really? But acupuncture seems scary, don’t you think?”

Zhang Runxin shook his head. “Actually, it feels reassuring.”

Seeing how resolute his friend was, Jiang Yi could only say, “Alright then. Xiao Xiao is probably really skilled—she’s treated a lot of VIPs.”

Even so, if something bad happened to his friend, Jiang Yi would definitely feel uneasy.

He didn’t want that, so he hoped Ye Xiaoxiao could truly find a top-notch cancer surgeon.

Zhang Runxin, on the other hand, comforted Jiang Yi. “Whatever happens, I’ll accept it. Thank you for introducing me to such a great doctor.”

Jiang Yi scratched his head. “I just hope they find you a surgeon. I want you to recover completely.”

Zhang Runxin replied, “Just stay calm. Honestly, I’d be completely fine with Dr. Ye performing the surgery herself.”

He stayed optimistic, while Jiang Yi was left worrying alone.

...

He Jingxuan had completely backed off. Forget about messing with Ye Xiaoxiao—she didn’t even have time for Hao Yanyan now.

She had returned fuming, planning to take down both the real and fake cousins, but the moment she showed her face, Ye Xiaoxiao shut her down right away.

He Jingxuan was desperately trying to make up with Song Yushu, but this time, he seemed more determined than ever, ignoring her attempts to patch things up.

“Yushu, I’ve already admitted my mistake. Are you really going to keep holding a grudge over outsiders?”

He Jingxuan went to Song Yushu’s place—originally, according to their plans, they were supposed to live there together.

But now, she couldn’t even get in unless the housekeeper let her.

When Song Yushu saw He Jingxuan, he still felt a flicker of affection.

But remembering the He family’s current state, he steeled himself.

“Jingxuan, you know my father has always wanted me to marry some other rich girl, but I firmly chose you instead.

But now, your family’s falling apart. My father would never agree to us being together.”

What’s worse, his father had already learned that He Jingxuan’s brother was in prison, and that her mother’s last incident had been resolved by him.

A family like this isn’t good enough for the mayor’s son.

He Jingxuan never expected him to say something so heartless. “So you’re ditching me?”

“Don’t make me out to be the bad guy, Jingxuan. I’ll give you some money—your family could really use the cash to bounce back. I’m not doing you wrong.”

Song Yushu handed her a check with a substantial amount.

This wasn’t the outcome He Jingxuan wanted. She had never lacked money growing up, and now, holding the check, she only felt humiliated.

But she wouldn’t tear it up either.

Because if Song Yushu truly didn’t want her anymore, this money was all she had left.

"Yushu, I thought you were joking. I hope you can calm down so we can talk again."

He Jingxuan left.

But Song Yushu was now very calm and instructed the housekeeper, "Don’t allow her inside anymore."

The housekeeper replied cautiously, "Yes, sir."

...

When He Jingxuan returned to China, the person angriest wasn't Ye Xiaoxiao, but rather Hao Yanyan.

She had been waiting for the aunt responsible for her miscarriage and infertility to be imprisoned, but the other party ended up escaping consequences due to mental health issues.

The mentally ill belong in mental hospitals.

Hao Yanyan despised her utterly, but there was nothing she could do now.

Recently, Hao Yanyan had been staying with the Hao family and had received good care.

But the heaviness in her heart wasn't so easily lifted.

He Qiaoxiang pushed the door open and brought Hao Yanyan some fruit.

"Mom, do you think Xu Jianwen will divorce me if I can't get pregnant?"

"He wouldn’t dare!" He Qiaoxiang put the fruit down. "If he dares to divorce you, our families will become outright enemies. I believe the Xu family understands the stakes."

"But my mother-in-law really wants a grandson, and the elders are putting heavy pressure on us. After so many years of marriage without a child, the Xu family has already shown me great patience.

What will I do if I can never conceive?"

Hao Yanyan had cried and complained, but there was no solution in sight.

He Qiaoxiang sat by the bed. "The doctor said you’re not entirely infertile. Let’s go to the hospital and find a reliable gynecologist to examine you properly. I refuse to believe your body won’t heal."

Hao Yanyan could only pin her hopes on the hospital, but her spirits remained low.

Xu Jianwen was still away on business, and she didn’t know when he’d return. She couldn’t bring herself to return to the Xu family now.

Nor did she know how to face Xu Jianwen.

"Don’t dwell on it. I’ll take you to see a doctor tomorrow."

He Qiaoxiang had booked an appointment with a specialist at First Hospital, who had helped hundreds of infertile women conceive and deliver successfully.

Seeing Hao Yanyan’s weak and listless state recently, He Qiaoxiang had asked around for reliable doctors.

She was a woman of action and had weathered hardships herself, so she didn’t think the current situation was too difficult.

Even if they couldn’t have a child, they could always adopt later.

As long as the Xu family wanted to maintain their relationship, they would surely agree.

Hearing her mother’s words, Hao Yanyan felt a flicker of hope.

Early the next morning, Hao Yanyan and He Qiaoxiang went to First Hospital.

Since they had made an appointment in advance, they first consulted the doctor about their concerns.

Then she underwent a series of tests.

While Hao Yanyan was having her tests done, she suddenly recognized someone familiar.

She didn’t want to see Ye Xiaoxiao at this moment, but Ye Xiaoxiao had already spotted her.

Ye Xiaoxiao had come here to ask her mentor whether the First Hospital could perform a radical gastrectomy. Bumping into Hao Yanyan was completely accidental.

At first, Ye Xiaoxiao assumed Hao Yanyan was here for a prenatal check-up. Although it would have been more convenient for her to go to the hospital near her neighborhood, maybe she just wanted to come here.

Only when she got a bit closer did Ye Xiaoxiao notice Hao Yanyan’s flat stomach.

She was momentarily surprised.

Had Hao Yanyan miscarried?

She hadn’t heard about it.

Of course not—being pushed and beaten by a family member wasn’t exactly something to advertise. The Hao family would naturally keep it under wraps.

However, when Hao Yanyan saw Ye Xiaoxiao, aside from feeling awkward, she suddenly remembered that Ye Xiaoxiao was a TCM doctor.

If the results of her tests here weren’t promising, maybe she could try traditional Chinese medicine treatment.

Ye Xiaoxiao had no intention of greeting her. She was just passing by on her way to the stairs, so she completely ignored the tense and guarded Hao Yanyan.

Seeing Ye Xiaoxiao breeze past made Hao Yanyan feel even worse.

She must look so wretched right now, while Ye Xiaoxiao still seemed fresh and glowing.

The contrast almost made Hao Yanyan cry.

“What’s wrong?”

He Qiaoxiang stepped out just then and saw Hao Yanyan silently weeping.
