"I’m going on a hunger strike!" Wu Yanyun declared emphatically, "I’m going to fight you to the very end!"
After she said that, Wu Yanyun slammed the bedroom door shut with a "bang."
This time, she wasn’t just going to fight her parents to the end; she was going to fight Ni Yang to the end as well!
She wasn’t a puppet on strings, subject to Ni Yang’s manipulation!
"Xiaoyun! Xiaoyun!" Yan Erju anxiously pounded on Wu Yanyun’s door.
Going on a hunger strike was no joke—what if something serious happened?
No, absolutely not!
She couldn’t let Wu Yanyun go on a hunger strike.
But, no matter how hard Yan Erju pounded on the door, there was no response from inside.
Since she had declared a hunger strike, she wasn’t just talking the talk!
With no movement inside, Yan Erju had no choice but to give up. She abandoned her duties at the company and rushed to the construction site to find Wu Jinshu.
Hearing that Wu Yanyun had actually gone on a hunger strike, Wu Jinshu was also surprised. "She really went on a hunger strike?"
"Do you think I’m joking about something like this?" retorted Yan Erju.
Wu Jinshu furrowed his brow, feeling a headache coming on.
"What do we do now?" Yan Erju continued to ask.
Wu Jinshu sighed and then said, "She’s throwing a hunger strike, isn’t she? Well, let her go hungry!"
"Ah?" Yan Erju was stunned for a moment. "Can that, can that really work?"
"This child is too stubborn; she must be corrected! If she wants to go on a hunger strike, let her! I refuse to believe that, when she’s famished, she won’t eat!" Wu Jinshu was at his wit’s end, having worried over Wu Yanyun a lot recently.
"Do we really do this?" Yan Erju asked, uncertain.
"Yes, just do it!" Wu Jinshu asserted firmly: "I want to see just how stubborn she can be!"
"Well, okay then."
Wu Jinshu nodded, "Go back to the company quickly. The company can’t run itself. Also, when you’re back, lock away all the food at home, and collect the money as well!"
"Ah?" Yan Erju looked at Wu Jinshu in surprise.
"Since she wants to starve, let her be thoroughly starved!" Wu Jinshu continued, "When you go back, tell Wu Dalong and Wu Erlong that they are not to secretly give her anything to eat!"
Wu Jinshu shook his head helplessly, "Yanyun absolutely refuses to go to the hospital with us. Now, she’s even threatening us with a hunger strike."
"A hunger strike?" Ni Yang asked incredulously. "Over Wei Haoguang?"
"Mmm." Wu Jinshu nodded.
Ni Yang frowned slightly, "Yanyun is persistent. If she says she’ll go on a hunger strike, she’ll do it. Normally, people can only survive 3-5 days without food and water, godfather, you should be careful not to let this get out of hand."
"Mmm, I’m aware."
The feeling of an empty stomach is very uncomfortable.
After a day and a half without food, Wu Yanyun felt weak all over, unable to muster any strength; even her normally healthy, rosy lips had turned paper white and were flaking. She felt dizzy to death!
She could barely lift a finger.
Yet, in that day and a half, there was no sign of anyone at home.
Could it be that they really intended to watch her starve to death?
Yan Erju and Wu Jinshu were honest people; they didn’t have that many schemes. The person behind this idea was undoubtedly Ni Yang.
Ni Yang would be happy to see her starve sooner!
In the living room, Yan Erju voiced her concerns, "Xiaoyun has gone a day and night without food already. If this continues, can she hold out?"
