“Madam, Master Zhan,” the doctor respectfully nodded and reported, “Young Master is fine. Based on our recent blood tests, we can confirm that the blood transfusion was very successful. Moreover, the young master’s hereditary disease has not recurred, and his health is normal.”

Ruan Wanyi was extremely excited, "So does this mean that Eleven's hereditary disease has been completely cured?"

"Madam, that's one way to understand it for now."

Ruan Wanyi's heart skipped a beat. "Give me a straight answer! What do you mean by 'at present'? Could it be that something might change later?"

"Madam, please don't worry," the doctor explained. "It's like this, there's no precedent for curing Master Zhan's hereditary disease, so we don't have any cases of complete cure to refer to. Therefore, I can't tell you with 100% certainty that the young master has gotten rid of the hereditary disease. But based on the current situation, he is indeed cured, after all, he hasn't had a relapse in the past three months."

“That’s true, there’s no precedent for success, so you can’t give a definite answer…” Ruan Wanyi said, “But I think Eleven will definitely be alright. If we weren’t absolutely certain, Wanwan wouldn’t have risked her life to save him! Thank goodness, our Zhan family has finally escaped this nightmare!”

Zhan Jingting showed no extra emotion, remaining expressionless as always, and simply instructed, "Although you haven't had a relapse in the past three months, we still can't let our guard down. The medical team must send someone to guard Wutong Bay, and you all need to continue your research."

“Yes, yes, yes!” Ruan Wanyi said, “Eleven is better, but Jingting isn’t. You must hurry up and do your research. Wanwan was able to cure Eleven, and maybe my blood can cure Jingting too. You should research in that direction!”

"Mom, this is impossible. Don't even think about it." Zhan Jingting glanced at Ruan Wanyi, then picked up Eleven and left.

Ruan Wanyi's eyes were sore and dry.

She knew perfectly well that even if her blood could save him, he would never agree.

Eleven is too young, so Qiao Wanwan can make all the decisions for her, but Zhan Jingting is different.

No one with a conscience would want their mother to sacrifice herself to save him!

For a moment, Ruan Wanyi didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Fortunately, her son still cares about her; otherwise, he would have already sent the medical team to conduct research in this area.

The sad thing is, if we give up even this hope, when will our son's illness ever be cured?

After all, he's getting closer and closer to thirty...

......

A month later, the former Zhan Group was renamed Dijing Group, causing a huge uproar in the capital!

The alliance has not disappeared, but it is struggling to make any progress under the control of the Imperial View Group!

One afternoon, Old Zhan came to Wutong Bay and saw Ruan Wanyi. He couldn't help but sigh, "Wanyi, the last time I saw you, you looked haggard. Now, we've switched places."

Ruan Wanyi asked knowingly, "Elder Zhan, what happened to you? How come you've aged so much in such a short time?"

Zhan Lao: "......"

"I'm getting old, and I should have retired from the martial world long ago to enjoy my old age, but the Zhan family is in complete chaos right now, and I really have no choice but to step forward to quell the internal strife and deal with external threats."

"Pacifying the internal and repelling the external?" Ruan Wanyi sipped her tea and smiled faintly. "Let me guess. 'Pacifying the internal' naturally refers to the current chaos within the Zhan family, because of Zhan Xiuwen's shady dealings. The Zhan family is in turmoil. As for 'repelling the external'... you mean our Jing Ting, right? My son and I have already broken away from the Zhan family and severed ties with you. Aren't we outsiders now? You think Jing Ting suppressed the Hezong Alliance and want to plead for mercy to protect the money of those people in the Zhan family, right?"

Old Zhan chuckled awkwardly, "Wanyi, you're wrong about that. How can you be outsiders? Jingting's surname is Zhan, we'll always be family."

“I can’t help but laugh at such high-sounding words, let alone my son,” Ruan Wanyi said arrogantly. “Elder Zhan, there’s no need for polite words. You won’t be seeing Jingting today either. He doesn’t want to see any of your Zhan family members.”

"I know you came here today, swallowing your pride to beg Jing Ting to show mercy, but that's impossible. I remember how the Zhan family treated us, a widow and her child. I'm not that saintly; I can't forgive those who hurt me!"

“Wanyi, we’re all family. Besides, the Zhan family hasn’t been taking money for nothing these past few years. They’ve done a lot for the Zhan Group. You can’t be so heartless.”

"I'm heartless?" Ruan Wanyi laughed in anger. "Are the people from the Zhan family really working for us, mother and daughter, at the Zhan Group? Aren't they just trying to keep a closer eye on Jing Ting? After all, if he makes a mistake, their interests could be harmed. They desperately want to hold power in the Zhan Group!"

"Now it's all good. These people have finally been cleaned up. The original Zhan Group no longer exists. Now it's the brand new Dijing Group, which has nothing to do with your Zhan family."

"Elder Zhan, considering that you've spoken up for Jingting in the Zhan family over the years, I'll have Jingting find a way to get your family's share of the money back from Zhan Xiuwen. But as for anything else, I'm afraid we can't do anything."

"I'm not that selfish; I would never only care about my own interests," Old Zhan said with a dark face.

Zheng Ma couldn't listen any longer and couldn't help but speak up, "Mr. Zhan, Madam is trying to help you gain benefits, but your words are accusing her of being selfish. Isn't that going too far?"

Old Zhan gripped his cane and slammed it on the ground. "Wanyi, how do you usually train your servants? A mere maid dares to criticize me?"

Ruan Wanyi smiled and said, "I heard that Zheng Ma was born in the Zhan family. Both her parents worked for the Zhan family. Her father was a driver and died saving Jing Ting's grandfather. Therefore, the Zhan family treated her and her mother very well."

"Of course, her ability to become the housekeeper of Wutong Bay is not due to her father's merit, but rather to her unwavering loyalty to the Zhan family. I believe she must have faced many temptations, but she never betrayed my son and me. I have great respect for such a person. We are nominally employer and employee, but in reality, we are already family."

Old Master Zhan laughed upon hearing this, "The Zhan family has a history of over a hundred years, and the blood in their veins is noble. How could you possibly be related to a maid? You're simply lowering yourself to the lowest level!"

Ruan Wanyi: "..."

“You are so noble, so I’m cutting all ties with your Zhan family, aren’t I? Aunt Zheng, let’s send the noble Old Master Zhan away. Our Wutong Bay is not worthy of him.”

Zhan Lao: "......"

His face turned ashen with anger, but he remained seated, barely suppressing his rage, and said, "Where's Jingting? I can't talk to you, I need to talk to Jingting."

“Jing Ting is busy,” Ruan Wanyi said coldly.

"Is that so?" Old Zhan sneered. "What if I told you I have information about Jing Ting's other child?"
