C10 Be Careful of the Prosthetic in Your Chin!

Half a month had passed when Ye Yongcheng unexpectedly sought her out, informing her that her bone marrow could be used to treat her grandfather. With no other options available, she consented, although at the time, she was unaware of the identity of the recipient.

Six months later, her grandfather regained consciousness and, upon learning of the situation, reached out to his former comrades for an investigation. To their astonishment, the individual in need of the bone marrow was none other than Gu Qinian!

The most egregious part was Ye Yongcheng's deception, leading Gu Qinian to believe that Ye Ziyan was his bone marrow donor, to the extent that he considered marrying her.

Enraged, her grandfather devised a scheme, leveraging his rapport with Gu Qinian's grandmother to successfully arrange the female lead's marriage into the Gu family.

Tragically, not long after the nuptials, her grandfather, who had been on the mend, was pushed from the second floor of the hospital in a horrific incident. Despite the medical team's urgent efforts, he was left in a vegetative state.

The surveillance footage was destroyed, leaving the incident shrouded in mystery. This has haunted Ye Tian for three years, as she has been determined to uncover the truth.

The mention of bone marrow sent a wave of panic across the faces of Ye Ziyan and Ye Yongcheng, particularly Ye Ziyan, who cast a guilt-ridden glance at Gu Qinian and said, "Let's leave the past behind us. There's no need to bring it up again."

Ye Yongcheng chimed in, "Exactly, Ziyan did a good deed by facilitating the bone marrow exchange for Director Gu."

Witnessing their sycophantic demeanor, Ye Tian couldn't help but scoff internally.

Disgusted by their charade, Ye Tian approached Gu Qinian and spoke in a hushed tone, "I've done everything you asked. When is the professor going to treat Grandfather?"

Gu Qinian's expression remained composed as he regarded her with an inscrutable look, remaining silent.

Feeling unsettled by his gaze, Ye Tian furrowed her brows and warned, "You're not having second thoughts, are you? Because I'm warning you—"

"Wait for me outside."

Gu Qinian cut her off before her anger could flare, shifting his gaze from her to Ye Ziyan on the hospital bed, his eyes softening noticeably.

Ye Tian rolled her eyes and turned to leave the hospital room, while the reporters behind her perked up as Gu Qinian approached, bombarding him with questions.

"Director Gu, when are you and Miss Ye planning to get married?"

He'd have to divorce his current wife first!

"Director Gu, will this incident strengthen your relationship with Miss Ye?"

Strengthen? As if! They're just two actors putting on a show!

"Miss Ye, what will be the focus of your upcoming work?"

She should focus on improving her acting. It's pretty bad when someone can tell a fake fall; her acting is worse than a soccer player's.

Ye Tian mentally scoffed at the reporters' ridiculous questions, but her heart felt heavy as she recalled the tender look Gu Qinian gave Ye Ziyan. What a jerk, unable to see through Ye Ziyan's contrived performance. All these years seemed wasted.

As Ye Tian stood by the hospital room door, waiting for Gu Qinian as instructed, her phone suddenly rang. It was her best friend, Shang Yuvyuv. She swiped to answer and was immediately greeted by a shriek on the other end.

"Ye Tian! You've gone viral! The photos you took at the award ceremony yesterday have hit the trending charts! The studio has already received seven requests specifically asking for you to do their shoots!"
