Chapter 843 - 252: [Turn of the Tide]
During the days Lu Xiuting was in a coma, Lu Sisi would send messages to Yang Jiaming daily, informing her father about her mother’s current situation.
When Lu Xiuting woke up today, Lu Sisi sent another message to Yang Jiaming.
"Mom has woken up."
After the message was sent, ten minutes later, Yang Jiaming replied, "Got it. Take good care of her. I’ll go back to see her when I can."
Lu Sisi held her phone, frowned while looking at it, and seemed to hesitate about whether to reply something else or tell her mother about her father’s attitude.
In Lu Sisi’s simple and straightforward values, regardless of whether her parents’ marriage was on the brink of divorce, at least they were once a couple, with no profound hatred.
During a serious illness, the other party should at least show up to pay a visit, right?
Chen Yan, sitting beside her, cut an apple he had peeled himself in half, shoved half into Lu Sisi’s hand, and casually took her phone, placing it aside.
"No need to worry about your father. Leave your parents’ matters to them to handle. You shouldn’t be overly concerned or interfere." Chen Yan patted Lu Sisi’s shoulder and said with a smile, "Your mom has just awakened, make her something nice to eat.
Uh, I’ll have Gui Geng accompany you outside to buy groceries. Get some nutritious, high-protein food."
Lu Sisi nodded: "Okay, I’ll go buy groceries."
She then looked at Chen Yan: "What do you want to eat? I’ll buy some back."
Chen Yan thought for a moment: "Buy some salted duck. Haven’t had it for a long time, been craving it. Get it from the place we usually buy from.
Yeah, if they have braised duck liver, buy some back too."
Lu Sisi smiled gently: "Okay."
After asking Gui Geng to come, and the two went out for grocery shopping, Chen Yan finished off the half apple with a few bites, tossed the core, wiped his hands, and went upstairs.
Pushing open the room door of Lu Xiuting’s bedroom, Chen Yan walked in.
Lu Xiuting was lying on the bed, holding her phone, unsure of what she was looking at, maybe casually browsing news or reading a novel.
"You’re quite calm." Chen Yan smiled.
Lu Xiuting put down the phone, looked at Chen Yan with a complex expression: "Thank you... for saving my life."
"With conditions." Chen Yan smirked: "Fulfill your promise to me."
"I will." Lu Xiuting nodded earnestly.
Chen Yan told Lu Xiuting about Yang family’s matters, especially the decision of Yang’s patriarch and the orders conveyed within the family.
Lu Xiuting listened, her eyes brightened!
She looked at Chen Yan in astonishment: "How... did you do it? You actually made Yang family..."
"That’s not your concern." Chen Yan shook his head: "I created the conditions for you, now it’s up to you how you utilize them."
Lu Xiuting squinted, pondered for a while, then this woman sneered: "Good! You’ve created the conditions for me, if I still can’t achieve anything, then wouldn’t I be useless?
Chen Yan, rest assured! I’m not a wimp!"

That afternoon, Lu Xiuting sent a message to Yang Jiaming.
"I’m awake now. Find a time in the next couple of days, let’s schedule to get the divorce certificate, as the cooling-off period has just passed."
Yang Jiaming did not reply for the entire afternoon.
Lu Xiuting sent another message, with three punctuation marks: ???
This time, Yang Jiaming couldn’t pretend to be oblivious and replied:
"Let’s hold off on the divorce matter for now. Let’s reconsider this issue—you focus on recovering first, health is important."
Lu Xiuting sneered, typing quickly on her phone:
"Now I’m the one who wants a divorce! I’m demanding the divorce certificate! If you refuse, I can also hire a lawyer to sue for divorce in court! Yang Jiaming, I have evidence of your infidelity! You’re the wrongdoer! The evidence is enough to prove our relationship has broken down! Ultimately, the court will surely rule for our divorce!"
This message worked better than anything!
Since Lu Xiuting was admitted to the hospital, Yang Jiaming appeared only once, and the next morning, he showed up at Chen Yan’s house door!
This man’s face was anxious, with tiredness in his eyes.
Chen Yan personally walked to the yard, smilingly opened the gate, and invited Yang Jiaming in.
He knew why Yang Jiaming was so anxious.
Because now, Yang Jiaming wouldn’t dare to divorce!
