So Dirty!

Lin Wan couldn’t avoid being hurt again. He knew her child was her only weakness, so he kept bringing it up.

She hid the bitterness in her heart and forced a cold smile.

"He will thank me. I helped him find such a good father. He was born as the young master of the Huo family, with no worries about food or clothing. He will be happy."

Huo Tingxiao didn’t expect her to be this shameless, daring to say something like that.

"You’re dreaming. I will never acknowledge this illegitimate child! Once things settle down in the Huo family, I will divorce you, and you’ll get as far away from me as possible. If I see you again..."

Lin Wan wasn’t surprised to hear him say this, but her heart still ached a little. Still, she walked over as if nothing had happened, swaying her waist and grabbing his hands.

"What will you do if you see me again?"

She lightly stroked his chest, which was rising and falling with anger, and looked at him with a gentle smile.

"Tingxiao, getting angry is bad for your health. You need to take good care of yourself, or how will you take care of me and our child later?"

Huo Tingxiao looked at her shameless expression, his hands tightening in frustration. In an instant, the blisters on her burned hands burst open, and blood oozed out.

He flung her away with disgust, as if throwing away trash.

"So dirty!"

Lin Wan fell to the ground weakly. Her hands burned with pain, but her heart felt even colder, like it had fallen into ice. He truly despised her.

Seeing that she didn’t get up right away, Huo Tingxiao thought she felt wronged. He was about to mock her, but before he could, she had already propped herself up and stood by the bed. Her eyes held a stubborn yet mocking smile, which only made his anger flare up even more.

"I really pity you. You used to be so powerful, but now you’re so miserable, stuck in bed, completely at the mercy of others. Where is the once glorious young master of the Huo family?"

Before he could explode with anger, she turned and walked away, heading to the living room to treat her wounds.

Huo Tingxiao watched her retreating figure, his chest heaving with rage. He regretted not being harsher just now.

That vicious, despicable woman!

After treating her wounds and changing into a red dress, Lin Wan was reminded by the servants that the car and gifts were ready. On the second day of marriage, newlyweds were supposed to visit their family together, but given how much Huo Tingxiao hated her, there was no way he would agree. Besides, in his current condition, he wouldn’t be able to go anyway.

So, she could only take the gifts and have the servant drive her back.

The moment she stepped into the Lin residence, she heard cheerful laughter. Hiding her injured hands, she quickly walked inside. The moment she entered the living room, Lin Weiwei spotted her.

She ran over and pretended to be affectionate, holding her arm.

"Sister, you finally came. We’ve been waiting for you for so long. Oh, where’s your husband?"

She deliberately glanced outside, then turned back with a disappointed look.

"Sister, why didn’t your husband come with you? Oh, I forgot—he’s a useless cripple now. He probably can’t even get out of bed, right?"

Lin Wan’s sharp gaze landed on her, making Lin Weiwei shrink back slightly before playfully sticking out her tongue as if it was all just a joke.

Lin Wan’s parents didn’t scold Lin Weiwei. Instead, they acted as if they agreed with her words.

Lin Wan had no interest in playing along with their act. She pulled her hand away from Lin Weiwei, placed the gifts on the coffee table, and got straight to the point.

"You forced me to marry in someone else’s place, and I did it. Now it’s time for you to fulfill your promise."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Weiwei ran up to her.

"Sister, what are you talking about? Did Mom and Dad promise you anything?"

Lin Wan’s expression turned cold as she stared at Lin Jiaming.

The idea of switching brides had been his from the start.

Lin Jiaming avoided her gaze and coughed awkwardly.

"Wanwan, the Huo family is rich and powerful. Your mother and I arranged this marriage for your own good. Why do you make it sound like a transaction?"

Lin Wan couldn’t believe how shameless they were. Her anger flared.

"You promised me that if I married in Lin Weiwei’s place, you would pay for the surgery and repairs at the orphanage. The dean is in the hospital now, and without the surgery fee, she won’t survive!"

Lin Weiwei’s face was full of smugness. She even added a sarcastic remark.

"She’s already so old. If she dies, she dies. Isn’t that a relief for her?"

Lin Wan’s pupils darkened with fury. She turned sharply and grabbed Lin Weiwei by the throat.

"What did you just say? Say it again!"

Lin Weiwei’s face instantly turned red. She looked at her parents in pain, pleading for help.

"Dad! Mom! Help me! Sister is trying to kill me!"

Lin Jiaming rushed over and slapped Lin Wan across the face, making her head tilt to the side.

Lin’s mother also ran up, desperately trying to pry Lin Wan’s fingers off Lin Weiwei’s throat, but she couldn’t.

She was furious and shouted, "Lin Wan! Weiwei is your sister! Are you really going to hurt your own sister over someone who isn’t even related to you? And you’re pregnant! Do you think anyone will want you after this?"

Lin Jiaming raised his hand again, clearly about to hit her again.

Lin Wan stubbornly stared at them, her eyes already filled with anger.

"You made a promise, so you have to keep it. The dean is lying in a hospital bed. Without the surgery fee, she will die!"

Lin Weiwei, her face red from being choked, still had the nerve to sneer.

"Didn’t Grandpa leave you a traditional medicine shop? Don’t tell me you don’t even have enough money for surgery? Or are you just trying to trick Mom and Dad for more money? You—ah!"

Lin Wan’s grip tightened, and Lin Weiwei’s face turned purple. She struggled, shaking her head helplessly as tears streamed down her face.

"Dad! Mom! Save me! Sister is trying to kill me! She’s going to kill me!"

At that moment, Lin Jiaming’s slap landed hard again, knocking Lin Wan’s face to the side. Seeing her grip loosening, he quickly shouted outside.

"Steward! Steward! Get in here and throw this rebellious girl out!"

The steward rushed in with several servants, stunned by the scene.

"What are you waiting for? Throw her out!"

The servants quickly stepped forward, prying Lin Wan’s hands apart and dragging her outside.

With red eyes, Lin Wan watched as her parents comforted Lin Weiwei with gentle words. Her heart was filled with hatred and unwillingness, but in the end, she was thrown out like garbage.

"You unfilial girl! My Lin family has no daughter like you! Get out!"

As furious curses rang out, the doors of the Lin family’s mansion slammed shut.

Lin Wan fell to the ground. The servant who had brought her there hurriedly helped her up. She thanked him softly and asked him to return, while she headed to the hospital alone.

She didn’t dare show herself to the hospital matron in her disheveled state, afraid it would worry her.

She could only watch from a small window, looking at the weak woman inside. Tears filled her eyes again.

The matron had spent her whole life caring for orphans, yet now she was all alone, gravely ill.

Lin Wan clenched her fists. She had to be her support.

Her grandfather’s medicine shop had long been emptied by Lin Jiaming. It was now nothing but an empty shell.

But the surgery couldn’t wait. She had to find a way to get the money—no matter what.
