"Are you confident?"

"As long as there's an idea, we should try it. Even if it doesn't work, I won't let the situation in October be worse than it is now."

"Yes, that's exactly the mindset I want you to have, instead of being too nervous."

"I know."

Qiao Wanwan immediately picked up her phone, but then realized she didn't have Wen Xue's number. "Give me Wen Xue's number."

"I don't have Wen Xue's phone number."

"Nonsense." Qiao Wanwan chuckled. "You don't need to be so survival-conscious. It's normal for you to have someone else's number."

"I really didn't." Zhan Jingting handed her his phone. "You can check if you don't believe me."

“I believe you.” Qiao Wanwan had a sudden idea. “Why don’t I call Wen Lijing? It would be much better if he talked to Wen Xue than if I did.”

“Alright,” Zhan Jingting said, “I’ll fight.”

"Um."

After receiving the call, Wen Lijing immediately went to Wen Xue's room. "Wen Xue, are you asleep?"

"No." Wen Xue quickly opened the door. "Big brother, you were looking for me?"

"Jingting called me. Eleven's body has developed drug resistance, and the treatment method needs to be readjusted. We need your blood."

Wen Xue panicked, "Use my blood? What for?"

“You are Wen Xue’s mother, and your blood might be able to help treat Eleven’s illness,” Jing Ting said on the phone.

Suppressing her panic, Wen Xue said with dissatisfaction, "This is what Qiao Wanwan said, isn't it? She doesn't like me, so she wants to kill me, right?"

"Wen Xue, what nonsense are you spouting?"

“Isn’t that right?” Wen Xue said righteously, “Does she think she can do whatever she wants just because she knows a little medicine? Under the guise of saving Eleven, she asks me for blood today, liver tomorrow, and heart the day after. Am I supposed to give her everything?”

"Wen Xue, don't be unreasonable. It's perfectly reasonable for Qiao Wanwan to ask you for some blood to save Eleven. As a mother, shouldn't you donate some blood for your child? She said on the phone that it's just in the research stage and they don't need much. It's even less than what you get at the blood donation van."

"I still don't want to!" Wen Xue said resolutely. "Big brother, even the Western doctors didn't say that my blood could save Eleven. Why is Qiao Wanwan in such a hurry to draw my blood? I really shouldn't have sent Eleven to Wutong Bay. Instead, it gave Qiao Wanwan some inappropriate thoughts. She just wants to kill me and make Eleven lose her biological mother so that she can take over Eleven's mother!"

"Wen Xue, don't go too far with your words," Wen Lijing said unhappily. "Qiao Wanwan genuinely wants to cure Eleven. Why would she want your life? Jing Ting loves her. You pose no threat to her whatsoever."

"Big brother, what's gotten into you? Why are you always siding with outsiders?" Wen Xue said. "I will not cooperate with Qiao Wanwan. Tell her to give up on that idea. Since Eleven's condition is serious, go and bring him back. We'll treat him ourselves."

"You're being completely unreasonable." Wen Lijing ignored her and left.

Wen Xue slumped into the sofa and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

Qiao Wanwan actually wants to use her blood to save Eleven. Wouldn't that lead to the discovery that she and Eleven are not related by blood?

No, she absolutely cannot let that happen!

Qiao Wanwan must not be allowed to stay any longer!

......

Although the hype surrounding the surgery had died down, Qiao Wanwan saw Lin Mo again at Imperial University.

The two stopped and looked at each other in the corridor.

Lin Mo composed himself and walked over first. "Going to have lunch?"

"Hmm," Qiao Wanwan asked, "How did you end up here?"

"I'm coming back to class."

"Going to class?" Qiao Wanwan frowned. "You stayed in the capital?"

"Yes, after successfully performing surgery on Tian Tian, ​​I decided to stay and contribute to the medical cause in the capital. My focus is still on the hospital. I only have three classes a week at school, and I won't be teaching your class anymore."

Qiao Wanwan was a little confused. Logically, Zhan Jingting couldn't possibly be unaware of this matter, but Lin Mo was able to stay, which meant there must be something going on.

It was something she didn't know.

"I understand," Qiao Wanwan didn't chat with him any longer. "Zhan Yin is waiting for me in the cafeteria. I'll go there first."

"good."

During the meal, Zhan Yin noticed that Qiao Wanwan seemed distracted and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing much, I just ran into Lin Mo on my way here."

“I saw him yesterday and went to ask my uncle about him.”

"Did you ask Zhan Jingting?" Qiao Wanwan asked curiously. "What did he say?"

"It's nothing. He doesn't care about Lin Mo at all. As long as Lin Mo doesn't bother you, it doesn't really matter whether you're in the capital or not."

“That’s true.” Qiao Wanwan nodded. “Lin Mo isn’t in our class anymore, which means he wants to stay away from me. That’s good. We can keep to ourselves from now on.”

"Um."

Qiao Wanwan didn't take it to heart. After finishing her meal, she found a secluded corner and called Wen Lijing.

"Mr. Wen, are you busy?"

"not busy."

"Then I'll bother you for two minutes. I want to ask if Wen Xue has agreed to let me have her blood drawn?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Qiao, I haven't been able to convince her yet, but don't worry, I'll continue to talk to her tonight."

"Why would she disagree?" Qiao Wanwan was very surprised. "Eleven is her biological son, and I'm not trying to kill her, I just need a little blood. Drawing this much blood won't have any effect on a normal person's body."

"I know Wen Xue is too stubborn, but she loves Shiyi. She might be resistant to you, which is why she refused. Don't worry, I will definitely persuade her."

"Alright then, thank you for your hard work."

“I should be the one saying that,” Wen Lijing said. “Eleven is also a member of the Wen family. Thank you for taking care of him.”

"Of course, I'll wait for your news."

"good."

Two days passed, and there was still no news from Wen Lijing.

Just as Qiao Wanwan was about to call again, she received a text message from an unknown number: "[This is Wen Xue. If you want my blood, you can come to me alone.]"

Qiao Wanwan smiled helplessly and replied: "Last time, someone died after being invited to lunch by your Wen family. Do you think I'd go alone again?"

If you don't come, you'll never get my blood!

I'm not buying it. This is your own son. As long as you don't regret it.

I have absolutely no regrets! I'll send you the address; come or not, it's up to you.

Qiao Wanwan received the address quickly but did not reply. Although her attitude was firm, she was very anxious inside.

She couldn't understand how Wen Xue could disregard Eleven just to go against her.

What kind of mentality is this!

Wen Xue was eyeing her covetously, wishing she could kill her, so naturally she couldn't go to the appointment alone.

Just as Qiao Wanwan was about to go upstairs, her phone suddenly rang again.

She looked closely, and her pupils suddenly contracted!
