In a top-tier ward of the Qing Shan City Tumor Hospital.
Elder Master Liu, a man who had led a glorious life, lay dying on the hospital bed, his breathing faint and shallow.
The head of the Liu Family, Liu Qian, sat by the bedside with a face etched in sorrow. At forty years old, Liu Qian was the family's most promising member and served as the Deputy County Chief of Qingshan County. However, he knew that if Elder Master Liu passed away, his chances of promotion would become virtually nonexistent.
Of course, if Liu Ruolan were to marry into the Diao Clan, they might still receive support from them—provided Diao Lao Er wasn't such a scoundrel. Unfortunately, Diao Lao Er was, in fact, a beast.
Suddenly, the door swung open, and Liu Ruolan, Father Liu, and Zhang Bin walked in.
