Chapter 565: Prepare for Surgery

“Since you know so much, then tell me the details of this so-called engagement. Where and when did we get engaged? What kind of token was exchanged?

“Who attended the engagement party? What did I wear at the time?

“How did the ceremony go?”

Yao Ran stuttered and was at a loss for words atYao Tang’s rapid-fire questions. She had barely figured out a lie whenYao Tangcut her off.

“I advise you not to spout any more nonsense than you already have, because it would only take a single phone call for me to disprove your claims.

“Also, stop forcing your mother’s wishes on me. She is in no position to do that.”

Yao Ran’s face drained of color. “Well… Since you’re still young, wasn’t it agreed to hold the engagement ceremony after you graduate?”

“Since there was no formal ceremony, then this engagement can’t be recognized,” Yang Nianpointed out. “Even if Auntie Qin wanted to set them up so badly, this arrangement would not stand.”

He then turned to Yao Tangwith a smile, like a dog who wanted to be praised and petted by its owner.

Yao tang could only blink at him.

At this point, everyone present already had a vague sense of what was going on. They stared at Yao Ranand whispered among themselves.

This girl had shamelessly snatched her cousin’s fiancé and tarnished her reputation by saying that Yao Tangwas engaged to some old man.

Even they were outraged at such behavior.

In the past, they had all thought that Yao Ranwas a well-mannered girl who was blessed with both beauty and brains. Some students had even called her their goddess.

They had no idea she was actually this vicious.

Yao Ran opened her mouth to defend herself, but the pain suddenly returned. It was so intense that she almost cried out and curled into herself.

An overwhelming sense of foreboding washed over her.

At first, she thought she could just soldier through the pain, but it only got worse with every second. Soon, it became utterly unbearable.

Her pale face was dotted with sweat as she reached for her injured foot.

“Ah, it hurts. Why does it hurt so much? Ouch, I can’t take it anymore?”

Doctor Bai shook his head and clicked his tongue. “I told you to go to the hospital, didn’t I? I said that you’ve fractured your bones, but you refused to believe me.”

He seemed unperturbed by the terrified look on her face.

“Even if we go to the hospital now,” he continued coldly, “a mere treatment won’t do. You should prepare yourself for surgery and hope for the best.”

An uproar ensued.

Yao Ran’s head was buzzing as she tried to make sense of what was happening. She looked like she was about to faint.

She grabbed Doctor Bai’s white coat. “I beg you, Doctor, please save me! You’re a skilled physician, so you must know a way to fix this! I’m still young. I can’t become a cripple!”

Director Bai pulled his clothes out of her grasp, his tone remaining indifferent. “I am not a god. Your condition is already at its worst. I’ve already done my part and given you my advice. There’s nothing more I can do for you.”

It was all Yao Rancould do not to collapse. She couldn’t accept it, at all.

For now, the most important thing was to save her foot before it was too late. Everything else could take a backseat.

Sadly, Doctor Baiwasn’t done with his ruthless commentary just yet.

“Stop begging me. Since no x-ray has been done, I can’t tell you the exact situation, either. I can’t help you even if I wanted to. You should go to the hospital immediately. You can still have surgery, at least. If you wait any longer…”

He drifted off on purpose, but everyone understood what he meant.

Knowing that she couldn’t count on him anymore, Yao Ranturned toYang Nianwith a pleading expression.

“Young Master Yang, please arrange for me to be sent to the hospital!”

Another bout of debilitating pain hit her after she spoke. She grimaced and bit her lips to stop herself from screaming.

Yang Nian didn’t make things difficult for her. “The car is ready outside,” he said calmly. “You may leave now.”

He nodded at the butler beside him.

“Allow us to send you to the hospital, Miss Yao Ran.”

Yao Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief. She instinctively held up her arms and reached forYang Nian. “I will have to troubleYoung Master Yangto carry me…”

She had barely finished speaking when Yang Niantook a step back.

Yao Ran froze. The rest of her words died in her throat.

Yang Nian had already walked toYao Tang’s side and was quite a distance away from the room.

Even so, he had still taken a step farther away from her when she tried to reach for him.

Any sensible person would have instantly recognized his reaction for what it was.

It was an obvious display of utter disdain.
