Chapter 2: My Condolences

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

With her goal achieved, Liang Ran walked out of the hotel wearing the super-short skirt from last night, enduring countless glances from the staff.

Ji Xuan would not pity or cherish her, perhaps he could, but there was no need for him to do so.

There were many bruises on her body, and the miniskirt could not hide anything.

Everyone who saw her knew what she had done last night.

Liang Ran felt like a slut in their eyes. The gaze of those people stripped her naked, and their whispered conversations and pointing fingers made her more and more numb.

Suddenly, her phone rang, and Liang Ran snapped back to reality. After seeing the caller ID, her face finally lit up.

However, after listening to the voice on the other end of the line, her heart sank.

“Ranran…come to the hospital quickly. Your father…has passed away…”

If she was numb before, now she felt piercing pain.

“I got it, Mom.” She said mechanically, expressionless and hailed a taxi.

The traffic was congested, and the car didn’t arrive for a long time.

Liang Ran spotted a parked car beside her, saw the license plate number, and walked straight over.

She knocked on the window, and the person inside looked at her with a stiff expression.

“I am Liang Ran, could you please call Mr. Ji for me?”

Guan Shen stared at her for a moment. Of course, he knew who Liang Ran was. The recent news about the Liang Corporation had been so widespread that everyone in the circle knew about it.

As Ji Xuan’s assistant, he not only knew who Liang Ran was but also knew that his boss had slept with her last night.

He was not sure what their relationship was now, so he did not know how to treat Liang Ran. In the end, he made the call for her and conveyed her request to go to the hospital.

Liang Ran did not expect Ji Xuan would agree to let Guan Shen take her to the hospital, but he did. She was a bit confused by him.

But now she didn’t have the energy to think about anything else. She just wanted to get to the hospital as soon as possible.

The car drove at the highest speed limit towards the hospital. Guan Shen had not wanted to say anything, but he thought of the phone call just now and saw Liang Ran’s lifeless face. He spoke up.

“Miss Liang, my condolences.”

His words were extremely powerful.

Liang Ran couldn’t hold it in any longer. Sadness seemed to have burst out like a broken dam.

She covered her face and wept bitterly, losing all composure.

Guan Shen pursed his lips and didn’t dare to say anything else. He just drove quietly and pretended hadn’t seen anything.

When the car arrived at the hospital, Liang Ran had stopped crying. She thanked Guan Shen and rushed into the hospital.

Guan Shen felt sorry for her, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. He still had to rush back to the hotel to pick up his boss.

Liang Ran came to her father’s ward. There was a group of people gathered at the door, including doctors, nurses, and debt collectors.

Her mother Bi Wen was in a tug-of-war with the debt collectors.

Everyone stopped moving when they saw her.

The leading man squinted his eyes and looked at Liang Ran, scanning her from top to bottom. He saw the bruises on her legs and his gaze became even more disgusting.

“Miss Liang, I heard that you’ve raised money. How much did you earn in one night? Is it enough to pay off your debts?”

The other men burst into laughter and their eyes lingered on Liang Ran, especially on her exposed fair thighs.

They didn’t care that they were in a hospital where Liang Ran’s recently deceased father lay.

Liang Ran didn’t know if she was more sad or angry, but now she just wanted to go in and see her father.

Bi Wen looked at Liang Ran with a worried expression and carefully approached her.

Liang Ran patted her shoulder and took out a bank card from her bag. She threw it directly at the man’s face, accurately hitting him.

“There are twenty million in it, enough to pay you back,” she said coldly.

The man picked up the bank card and said, “Tsk, the rich lady is different. You are more expensive than others.”

Liang Ran didn’t want to waste her breath on him and just gave him a cold stare, imprinting his face in her mind.

She would pay them back one by one in the future, whether it was her fiancé Fan Jin who betrayed her, or Zeng Lu who colluded with Fan Jin.

Although Liang Ran looked pitiful, her eyes were cold and sharp.

The man licked his lips and felt a little itchy. Such a top-grade item, tsk…

He looked at Liang Ran with an aggressive gaze and said with a disgusting smile, “Miss Liang, don’t blame us. We’re only following Miss Zeng’s orders. I actually like Miss Liang very much.”

When Liang Ran heard this, she almost vomited.

“Piss off,” she said coldly.

The man snorted coldly and said sarcastically, “My condolences.”

After saying that, he turned around and left with his lackeys.

Liang Ran watched as they left. She staggered and almost fell.

Bi Wen quickly held her and asked, “Ranran, where did you go last night? The money…”

Before Bi Wen finished her sentence, the leading doctor interrupted her and handed a pile of unpaid bills to Liang Ran.

“Miss Liang, this is your father’s hospital expenses for this period. Please take a look and pay as soon as possible if there is no problem,” he said.

Liang Ran stood up straight and looked at the doctor with a cold voice. “I want to go in and see my father first.”

Her eyes were red. It was obvious that she had cried for a long time before coming to the hospital.

The doctor was stunned for a moment. He retracted his hand helplessly and took a few steps back.

Liang Ran and Bi Wen supported each other as they walked into the ward. Before entering the door, the doctor whispered in a very small voice, “The Zeng family is the largest shareholder of this hospital. There are some things I can’t do.”

Liang Ran suddenly looked up at him. The doctor showed a very embarrassed expression and didn’t say anything more.
