Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 191

As soon as Jean saw Shirley, she looked for a way to avoid her. But it was too late. Shirley had spotted Jean.

"Sis..." Shirley's voice echoed in the hallway. A number of people turned to see who had shouted in a hospital.

Giving in to the situation, Jean faced Shirley who was straight ahead.

Red in the face, Shirley was breathing loudly as anger rose inside her. Resenting Jean, she said, "The hospital says dad's situation is stable now but they want us to leave." Her eyes pierced through Jean's calm expression and implored her to join her in fighting the hospital against this move.

How come?

When Jean had heard the nurse say that Henry was almost half dead, she expected him to be in a terrible condition at the moment.

Listening to what Shirley had just told her, she turned to the nurse.

Jean's curious gaze was noticed by the nurse. In a displeased tone, the nurse informed her, "You can't afford the medical bills. If we don't ask you to leave, what choice are we left with? You can't continue to stay here without paying your bills."

They couldn't afford the medical bills?

The Wen family was never so poor, irrespective of land or no land, that they could not afford Henry's medical bills.

Suddenly, Jean began to laugh and asked, "Nurse, is there a misunderstanding here?"

How was that possible that the Wen family cannot afford to pay Henry's medical bills?

"There's no misunderstanding. We... indeed can't afford dad's hospital bills anymore. You have no idea how much the hospital has charged for dad's medicine, nursing and other medical bills. His stay has used up all the cash we had." Shirley could feel her ears burning as she took her half-sister aside to explain how their fortunes had reversed. Shirley acted as if it were truly unfortunate and she had no part to play in their 'poverty'.

"Shirley, do you take me for an idiot? No matter how poor the Wen family is, how come you can't afford just tens of thousands of dollars?"

Before Henry got into the hospital, weren't the Wen family all dressed in luxury designer labels? Didn't you all dine at high-end exclusive restaurants? Jean shook her head with disbelief.

"I just said we can't. Jean, you think it to be impossible, right?" A vicious look appeared on Shirley's face as she stared at Jean and said, "It's all because of you. You cut off your relationship with us in front of the Qi family. What do you think that means to a person who bends where the wind is blowing?

Yes. Without that land, the Wen family was supposed to only fall into legal disputes and our problems would have been temporary. But without the help of the Qi family, do you think money-minded people will cooperate with us?

After the very next day of the falling out, the Wen Group received a notice of cancellation of all our contracts. This even made some shareholders withdraw their investment from the company. The Wen Group is in complete shambles now. What do you think got dad into the hospital? He was so mad at you that his body couldn't take this anymore. Believe me, you are to be blamed for all our woes. You don't even remember our kindness. How can you set us up in such a tight bind, we, the Wens who brought you up..."

Shirley's eyes were animated with fury. She acted as if she had suffered a great injustice at the hands of Jean.

Shirley's outpouring of anger made Jean purse her lips.

This was certainly not what Jean had expected for the Wen family, but she had still triggered it. Culpable for her negligience, she felt sorry for the Wen family.

The Wen Group was really going down?

Her daydreams all revolved around the downfall of the family, specially when they mercilessly harassed her.

The loss of power for the Wen family meant a helpless Joy. All this while, Joy had been using Jean as if she were a pawn through Henry. Fantasizing about their end meant an end to her misery as well.

Now that her fantasy was coming true, Jean didn't look forward to their fall one bit.

"What? You feel guilty now? Jean, stop pretending to be innocent. If you have any conscience, do something and make up to us. Even if you don't care about dad who is lying on the hospital bed, remember that you are also a Wen." Jean's silence had emboldened Shirley to bombard her with taunts and accusations.
