Chapter 3 Someone Can Be Sent In Now

If she refused to marry, Wei Anguo would immediately turn and leave. She had less than a third of the confidence in this fifty thousand, but if she married, she could at least save her mother.

"Okay... I'll marry."

Yin Fang and Wei Jin exchanged a look, almost clapping their hands in celebration.

"That's great, then let's get you dressed up and send you over."

"What about the money?" If she didn't wait now, once she went to the Zhan family, she didn't know when she could come to the hospital to see her again.

Wei Anguo took a card from the lining of his suit jacket and handed it to Wei Yumeng.

"Here is fifty thousand, no password. Pay the money and leave with us immediately."

Wei Yumeng took the card and agreed without hesitation. After paying the fee, she gave a few more instructions to the doctor and then left the hospital with Wei Anguo and the others.

They stopped by a mall on the way and bought her two dresses, both expensive. Just by touching the fabric, she knew they were costly.

Watching Wei Anguo pay, her heart couldn't help but feel complicated. Wei Anguo used to buy her clothes when she was little, saying that daughters should be dressed beautifully.

Since Yin Fang entered their lives, he hadn't given her anything.

She never expected that the clothes she received after so many years would be under such circumstances, how ironic.

Upon arriving at the Zhan family's entrance, Wei Yumeng was directly ushered in by the housekeeper.

"My master says he will not be able to entertain guests today."

Wei Anguo said with a fawning smile, "No worries, I will visit personally another day. My daughter has been delivered, and I hope Young Master Zhan will be satisfied."

"You are not welcome to stay."

Wei Yumeng was led into the living room by the housekeeper. The decor was simple, understated, yet luxurious, truly befitting the richest man in Pengcheng.

An old man walked down, leaning on a cane, appearing to be around eighty. His spirit was vigorous, and even his aged eyes could not hide their sharp gleam.

The housekeeper introduced, "Master, this is the daughter Wei Yumeng, sent by the Wei family."

"I know. Go and inform the young master to get ready."

"Yes."

Old Master Zhan walked up to Wei Yumeng and gave her a cursory look.

"Miss Wei, do you know why you were chosen?"

Wei Yumeng shook her head in confusion, "I don't know."

Wasn't it because Wei Jin refused to marry a disabled person, so she was married off instead?

"Do you remember the person you hit with your car before?"

Wei Yumeng's pupils contracted sharply, and a bad premonition arose in her heart. The car was driven by her, but the person was not hit by her.

"Yes, it was my grandson. Do you also know why our Zhan family didn't hold you responsible?"

Wei Yumeng shook her head, her small face turning pale.

"A very insightful fortune teller said that only if a daughter of the Wei family married in will my grandson's paralysis be cured. Although it sounds a bit alarmist, we have no other options right now."

She didn't believe what the fortune teller said. She was more inclined to believe that the Zhan family wanted her to marry in so that her remaining life would be filled with suffering.

However, since she was already married, she couldn't go back on her word. To save her mother, she was willing to sacrifice everything.

But there was one thing she needed to clarify.

"I did drive the car that day, but I was helping someone else. I got out of the car midway. I didn't hit the person. Please believe me."

"What I have is that the person in the driver's seat, their appearance, their clothes, are all identical to yours. You cannot deny it."

"That day I..."

"Master, the young master has been informed. He said he can have the person sent in."

Old Master Zhan nodded slightly, then instructed Wei Yumeng, "Because Ah Han has difficulty with his legs, we will not hold a wedding. From now on, you will be responsible for his daily diet and living, meaning you will take care of him personally. You will share a bed with him at night."

Wei Yumeng was shocked. Did that mean she would have to sleep in the same bed as a stranger every night? But then again, he was impotent, so she was somewhat safe.
