Bai Yaoyao immediately fell silent, unable to regain her composure, and could only sneer as she walked into the hall.
They say that birds of a feather flock together. Bai Yaoyao and Bai Ru truly share the same shamelessness. Le Yi returned to the wedding venue, clutching her stomach, while Bai Yaoyao was assigned to the most inconspicuous spot, likely with no seat reserved for her from the start.
The bodyguard of the Huo Family stood not far behind Bai Yaoyao, keeping a watchful eye on her to prevent any unusual actions.
Weddings generally follow a similar format. Bai Yaoyao watched as Bai Ru stood alongside Huo Liangchen on stage, cursing them fiercely in her heart—what a pair of shameless lovers!
What a scandalous affair!
Every vulgar insult that Bai Yaoyao could think of ran through her mind.
Yet, deep down, she found no satisfaction.
"Next, the groom and bride will exchange rings," the host announced loudly from the stage.
Huo Liangchen wore a tailcoat suit, clearly well-dressed. Bai Yaoyao recalled their wedding. Not only did he not wear the boutonniere prepared for him, but he also arrived disheveled after drinking, showing utter disregard.
But at that time, Bai Yaoyao was happy; at least he showed up.
Huo Liangchen came, so Bai Yaoyao didn't hold anything against him.
Her marriage and her dreams for life had all been shattered.
During the wedding, Bai Yaoyao quietly slipped away.
What was she doing here? She didn't have Bai Ru's audacity.
As soon as Bai Yaoyao left, Bai Ru noticed.
Her sister was quite cunning; otherwise, she would have to toast her later.
Last time Bai Ru attended Huo Jincheng's wedding, Bai Yaoyao had given her a hard time. They were sisters, but it felt more like they were strangers.
...
In a hospital on the outskirts of the city, Jian Yunong was trying to leave this place.
However, the management here was strict, with imposing security guards patrolling the corridors, wielding electric batons. Jian Yunong had seen what those things could do; when one was jabbed into the over six-foot-tall Old Russian, he instantly collapsed obediently.
Jian Yunong didn't have the courage to confront that weapon.
She sat back down on the bed.
At that moment, a nurse came in.
"I want to make a phone call to my family."
All the checks have been completed, and Jian Yunong feels that she can be discharged.
The nurse did not look at her. "This is your medication for today. Take it now."
Jian Yunong did not want to look at those colorful pills. "I want to call my family!"
She wanted to call Huo Jincheng!
Huo Jincheng would be worried if he couldn't find her!
"Take your medicine." The nurse smiled at her, a fake and perfunctory smile, as if wearing a thick mask. Jian Yunong saw the coldness in her eyes and raised her voice, "I don't want to take the medicine. I'm not sick enough to need it. I want to call my husband!"
"Patients like you always say they're not sick and refuse to take their medicine." The nurse placed one hand on her hip. "We are professionals; we know your condition better than you do. You may not realize it, but our advice is that you need to take your medication. First, take the medicine, and after you finish, we will let you contact your family."
Jian Yunong was swayed, her brows slightly relaxing.
The nurse continued to persuade her, "If you get better soon, your family will worry less, right?"
In the end, Jian Yunong swallowed all the pills.
"Can I call my husband now?"
"Okay. Just a moment."
The nurse walked out.
Jian Yunong thought she was going to get her phone.
After waiting for a while, the nurse did not return.
Jian Yunong went to open the door, only to find that it was locked from the outside.
The nurse was deceiving her.
Jian Yunong angrily knocked on the door, and the security guard outside glared at her, as if to say, "Do you want to get shocked?"
Jian Yunong had no choice but to step back and lie down on the bed. Before long, sleepiness washed over her like a tide, and she fell into a deep slumber.
After she fell asleep, the nurse came in, checked that there were no issues, and instructed the security guard to keep a close watch on the patient in this room, ensuring that nothing happened to her, especially that she couldn't escape.
...
Jian Yunong woke up again; it was already night.
Opening her eyes, she was surprised by the darkness outside the window.
There were no stars, no moon, and no wind.
There is no wind in this room because the windows cannot be opened. In this kind of hospital, all the windows are sealed shut to prevent accidents.
The people inside the room are like those kept in a glass box.
Jian Yunong never expected that one day she would be locked up.
Whose idea was this?
Who else could it be?
Jian Yunong's not-so-smart brain could figure out that this was Huo Jincheng's Mother's intention.
Perhaps she had crossed her.
To put it bluntly, a biting dog doesn't bark.
Huo's mother wouldn't do anything to her; she simply turned around and used a little trick to lock her up for a good lesson. Jian Yunong wasn't afraid of the lesson; she was just worried about how long this lesson would last.
But Jian Yunong underestimated Huo's mother.
This was not just a simple lesson.
On the third day, Jian Yunong's request to make a phone call was denied once again.
"Why can't I make a phone call? If it's for my treatment, seeing my loved ones would help calm my emotions, which would be beneficial for the therapy."
The nurse smiled, "Your current situation is suitable for closed treatment."
Jian Yunong refused, "I've never heard of such an inhumane treatment method; it's all nonsense."
"Trust us, we are professionals."
The nurse gestured for Jian Yunong to finish the medication.
Jian Yunong declined.
"I won't take it."
The nurse went out to call Chairman Huo's assistant.
At that time, Chairman Huo had just finished a meeting and instructed his subordinates to extend his son's business trip abroad.
Huo Jincheng should be on a layover now; it would be impossible for him to return to Nancheng within a week.
"Don't want to take the medicine? That's fine."
Mrs. Huo called the lawyer in, "You go over there and have her sign the documents."
An hour later, the nurse and a stranger in a suit appeared at the door.
Jian Yunong seemed to have seen that man somewhere before.
After he spoke, Jian Yunong remembered that he was the group's lawyer.
Senior Lawyer, specifically here to deliver documents? They must be very important and confidential documents for Jian Yunong to review.
"Chairman Huo means that if you do not cooperate with the treatment, it will be considered self-abandonment. If you want your freedom, then sign this contract."
The Senior Lawyer handed over the contract; it was a divorce agreement.
Jian Yunong had often mentioned divorce, bringing it up at every opportunity.
But now, seeing the word "divorce" in front of her, Jian Yunong felt a complex mix of emotions that made it hard to breathe.
After taking several deep breaths, she regained her voice.
"If we are to get a divorce, let Huo Jincheng come and talk to me. This is a matter between us."
The Senior Lawyer adjusted his glasses. "Mr. Huo is on a business trip. I will discuss the divorce with you. If you have any requests, feel free to mention them. We will consider accommodating your reasonable requests."
