Qiao Wanwan asked curiously, "Where are we going?"

You'll know when you get there.

The driver drove to a building in the bustling city center. The two took the elevator upstairs, and in the rooftop restaurant, Qiao Wanwan spotted Eleven at a glance.

"eleven!"

"Sister Wanwan!"

The two ran towards each other and embraced.

What are you doing here?

"My uncle brought me here!"

Qiao Wanwan looked up and saw Wen Lijing standing not far away.

Without even guessing, it was Zhan Jingting who arranged it.

"Come on, let Sister Wanwan check your body first."

Qiao Wanwan took Eleven's pulse and said, "It's much better than the previous two days. It looks like you've been obediently getting your injections, eating, and sleeping."

"Sister Wanwan, I'm being a good girl."

"Um."

Wen Lijing stepped forward and said, "Are you all hungry? Let's eat first."

"good."

Zhan Jingting had booked the entire restaurant, and the four of them leisurely enjoyed their dinner in a very pleasant atmosphere.

"Uncle, will I be able to see Sister Wanwan again tomorrow?" Eleven asked expectantly.

Wen Lijing smiled and said, "Uncle can't guarantee it, but Uncle will try his best to fulfill your wish."

"Uncle is the best, he can definitely do it!" Eleven flattered.

"This kid is really clever. He flattered me so much that I have no choice but to do my best."

Qiao Wanwan was amused, "Our Eleventh is the cutest."

After dinner, Qiao Wanwan took Eleven to play somewhere else, while the two men continued drinking.

"Jingting," Wen Lijing asked bluntly, "May I know what you're preparing for right now?"

What do you mean?

“It’s obvious that Miss Qiao is reluctant to part with Eleven, and the fact that you didn’t force Eleven to take her away is suspicious.” Wen Lijing looked at him. “Also, others may not know you, but I do. You could never forget the slap Wen Xue gave Miss Qiao that day.”

“You don’t hit women, so you didn’t return the money to Wen Xue on the spot, but you will definitely get it back tenfold. So right now, although everything seems calm, it is just the calm before the storm.”

Zhan Jingting took a sip of red wine, his handsome face expressionless. "If it weren't for the fact that your surname is Wen and mine is Zhan, we could indeed become close friends."

Wen Lijing smiled. "Indeed."

"I certainly wouldn't lay a hand on a woman, but I will never tolerate Wen Xue bullying Wanwan repeatedly." Zhan Jingting looked up at him. "Also, do you think I wouldn't know that Wen Xue poisoned Eleven without evidence?"

Wen Lijing paused, his hand holding the wine glass still.

Zhan Jingting sneered, "It seems you already know."

"Jingting, I'm sorry."

“You know me, and I know you. You wouldn’t stoop to harming a three-year-old child, so you weren’t involved in the poisoning. Wen Xue used you.” Zhan Jingting looked at the two people playing happily not far away. “You can’t protect Wen Xue now. Considering you brought Eleven out today and made Wanwan so happy, I advise you not to protect her, lest you get burned.”

“Jingting, listen to me,” Wen Lijing said. “Wen Xue did go too far, but she didn’t do it on purpose. She’s completely different from before because she suffers from severe depression and anxiety, which is why her behavior is so extreme.”

“Depression…” Zhan Jingting burst out laughing. “Do you think I would believe that someone like Wen Xue could have depression?”

"Jingting, do you think she's faking it?"

“I don’t care whether she’s genuine or faking it. Regardless of whether she has depression or not, even if she were diagnosed with a terminal illness today, she cannot hurt my wife.”

Wen Lijing frowned. "You're so angry not because of Eleven's poisoning, but because Wen Xue slapped Miss Qiao?"

"Eleven is Wanwan's beloved child."

Wen Lijing's brows furrowed even more. "So your feelings for Eleven are actually because of Miss Qiao, a case of loving the house because of the house?"

"That's one way to understand it."

Wen Lijing sighed, "Jingting, from childhood to adulthood, you have never treated a woman like this before. All I can say is, protect Miss Qiao. The more you love her, the more danger she will face."

"I know what I'm doing."

......

Zhan Jingting's suppression of the Wen family quickly went from covert to overt, and the Wen family found themselves surrounded by enemies overnight!

"Smack!"

In the study, Wen's father slapped Wen Xue hard across the face, "Who told you to provoke Zhan Jingting!"

Wen Xue was knocked to the ground, her head buzzing. "Dad, you hit me? You've never laid a finger on me!"

"I've never hit you, but you deserve it!" Father Wen was furious. "In this world, you can mess with anyone, but you can't mess with Zhan Jingting! Everyone in high society knows how much he dotes on his wife, and you actually dared to hit her! Are you tired of having such a smooth life and want to die sooner rather than later?"

"Dad, how could you say that to me? What's wrong with me feeling sorry for Eleven!"

"You dare talk back?"

Father Wen raised his hand again, but this time Wen Ru stopped him. "Brother, forget it. Even if you beat her to death now, it won't make a difference."

Mr. Wen angrily put his hand down. "I'm so angry at her! How could such a well-known socialite be so brainless, only thinking about marrying a married man!"

Wen Ru smiled and said, "Feelings are beyond one's control. Wen Xue must have been unable to resist her own heart."

Wen Xue broke down in tears, "Auntie understands me the most."

"How dare you say that!" Father Wen's face turned ashen with anger. "Zhan Jingting has already given the order that the Wen family must return the child to him safely, or he will bankrupt the Wen family. Wen Xue, what a mess you've made!"

"I can't live without Shiyi!" Wen Xue sat up, her voice trembling with emotion. "Shiyi is my child. He can go live in Wutong Bay, but only if he comes with me!"

"Are you still dreaming?" Father Wen clutched his chest. "Do you want to drive me to my death before you're satisfied? Last time, it was your aunt who came back and gave face to save the Wen family. I don't even dare to dream of you marrying into the Zhan family anymore. What makes you think you can do that!"

Wen Ru said, "Wen Xue, you were indeed too impulsive. Eleven was poisoned in Wutong Bay. Originally, we were in the right to get the child back, but how could you lay a hand on Qiao Wanwan? You stepped on Jing Ting's landmine."

“Auntie, my son is in the emergency room and his life hangs in the balance. What’s wrong with me hitting Qiao Wanwan? I’m being very lenient by not killing her.”

“If you still have this attitude now, then you are truly beyond redemption.” Wen Ru shook her head and said, “I can only give face once, and it’s already a favor that Jing Ting has done.”

"Wen Xue, are you not very familiar with the current situation of the Wen family?" Wen's father said with a hint of disappointment. "Then let me tell you, the Wen family is now inferior to the Zhan family. With Zhan Jingting's current status, he doesn't need to give face to anyone. In just a few days, Zhan Jingting has been able to easily control the Wen family. So this time, you must give him Eleven!"
