"In response to Master Zhan, there are some leads, but it's still in progress, after all, the era is too long ago."

"The sooner the better."

"yes."

Zhan Jingting hung up the phone and had dinner with Shiyi.

Eleven's mouth was bulging as he chewed and said, "Daddy, you weren't here this afternoon. When I was telling Mommy a story, I saw Mommy's hand move."

Zhan Jingting was taken aback, but quickly remembered something and said, "Mommy isn't awake, you must be mistaken."

"No way, Eleven's eyes are very sharp, she couldn't possibly be wrong!" Eleven said confidently, "Mommy's hand really moved."

Zhan Jingting smiled and said, "The way you explain it so earnestly reminds me of your mother."

"Daddy, Mommy is moving, does that mean she's about to wake up?"

Zhan Jingting didn't take these words to heart. "Mommy might not wake up for a while, but Daddy will definitely try his best to find a way. You need to be patient and not be impatient."

"oh......"

The Meng family.

After Meng Xiaogan spoke to Old Master Meng, Old Master Meng slammed down his chopsticks and exclaimed, "Are you crazy? You actually let a junior sway you?"

“Dad, Xiao Mo is right. If we get involved with the Zhan family, we might not be able to escape unscathed. We might even get ourselves into trouble. The medicine is just sitting there anyway, and now that Zhan Jingting has his eye on it, instead of worrying that he will use improper means to take it away, we should turn the tables and hand over the medicine. Giving it to Xiao Mo is undoubtedly the best choice.”

"I don't think Zhan Jingting is as bad as I imagined," said Old Master Meng, taking a sip of warm rice wine. "The rumors are indeed a bit exaggerated."

"Dad, what do you mean?" Meng Xiao asked curiously. "Have you changed your opinion on Zhan Jingting?"

"A little, I suppose. And I've also discovered that Xiao Mo is no ordinary person. This generation of young people are all quite remarkable..."

"Dad, what are you planning to do? Should we give the medicine to Zhan Jingting or Xiao Mo?"

"Since these two children are not simple, we need to consider them carefully. But no matter who gets the child, my goal is to pave the way for the Meng family."

Meng Xiaogan was finally relieved. "Yes, it's all for the Meng family."

Grandpa Meng picked up his chopsticks again to eat and asked, "Where did Magnolia go?"

"I don't know. We rarely see anyone. Let her be."

......

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed since Zhan Jingting and his group arrived in Suzhou.

Zhan Jingting hadn't left the house for the past few days, and Xiang Yang couldn't help but ask, "This can't go on forever, but I know you can't just sit here waiting. What exactly are you up to in the shadows?"

Zhan Jingting's fingers moved across the computer keyboard. "Telling you many things won't help. Just be patient and focus on taking care of Wanwan."

Just as Xiang Yang was about to speak, there was a knock on the study door.

The bodyguard came in and reported, "Master Zhan, Old Master Meng has arrived."

Zhan Jingting paused in his fingertips. "He came to see me in person?"

"Yes."

"Please invite him up."

"yes."

Xiang Yang was delighted. "Grandpa Meng came to see you personally, does that mean he's willing to give you the medicine?"

"Something's not right," Zhan Jingting frowned. "Logically, he shouldn't be putting on airs right now; he shouldn't be coming to see me in person..."

Is there a problem with this?

"You'll find out soon enough."

"Then I'll excuse myself for a moment."

"Um."

Old Master Meng was quickly brought to the study. "Young Master Zhan, how have you been?"

"Mr. Meng, please have a seat."

Aunt Zheng came in, served tea, and then left.

"Why did you come in person, Grandpa Meng?" Zhan Jingting said politely. "Just let me know if there's anything you need, and I'll be there."

"Young Master Zhan is very busy. How could I ask you to come to my door in person and bother you for a few minutes?"

Zhan Jingting said, "What are your instructions, Grandpa Meng?"

Grandpa Meng readily agreed, "I've given you the medicine you wanted."

In the next room, Xiang Yang was peering through the door, overjoyed, and almost opened it to go out and thank him!

Zhan Jingting remained calm and composed. "What are your requirements?"

"Young Master Zhan is indeed clever and straightforward," Old Master Meng said with a smile. "As you know, this medicine is a family heirloom of the Meng family and is extremely precious."

"Rest assured, I will give you anything that can save my wife."

"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point. My granddaughter, Meng Xinyi, fell in love with Zhan Shao at first sight and wants to marry him."

Zhan Jingting almost thought he had misheard. "What did you say?"

"Xinyi said that she was setting up a stall on the ancient street that night when she fell in love with you at first sight. She regretted not chasing after you to ask your name. Unexpectedly, she met you again at the Meng family the next day. She felt that this was a destined fate, so she secretly followed you to the hotel and found out your identity. When she got home, she begged me and insisted on marrying you."

Zhan Jingting smiled faintly, "I cannot accept Miss Meng's kindness. I am a married man."

"How could I not know?" Old Master Meng sighed helplessly. "But Xinyi knelt in the ancestral hall for two days and two nights, refusing to eat or drink until she fainted. That shows how determined she was. Young Master Zhan, this is my only granddaughter, the apple of my eye that I've cherished since she was little. I really can't bear to watch her die, so I have no choice but to swallow my pride and beg you, Young Master Zhan, to grant my request."

Zhan Jingting's lips curled into a mocking smile. "So the Meng family's idea is that you provide the medicine to save my wife, and I will divorce my wife and marry Miss Meng, is that right?"

Old Master Meng seemed ashamed, his face turning somewhat pale, but he still nodded, "Exactly."

Zhan Jingting sneered, "Miss Meng is really naive. She insists on marrying a man she's only met twice, and even demands that I divorce my wife to marry her. If I really do that, isn't she afraid that one day she'll end up like my wife?"

“I’ve said these things to her, but Xinyi has always been a very stubborn person. She said that if she marries you and you don’t fall in love with her, it’s her incompetence, and she’s willing to bear the consequences and can afford them. What else can I say?”

"I can't control how much you spoil your Meng family members," Zhan Jingting said, a chill creeping across his handsome face. "But you can't try to take advantage of me. I hate it when people threaten me, especially when they threaten me with my wife's life."

"I've been giving you face all along. Did you really think I couldn't do anything to your Meng family?"

Grandpa Meng smiled and said, "If you had agreed immediately, I would have had to reconsider. But the fact that you said it proves even more that you are a good man worthy of my trust. It seems that Xinyi did not misjudge you."

Zhan Jingting's face grew even colder. "I have no patience to play games with you. Hand over the medicine. You can make any material demands you want. I'll find a way to send you mountains of gold and silver. But as for me to divorce my wife and marry your granddaughter, that's absolutely impossible."

"Young Master Zhan, please don't rush to refuse. I hope you will think it over carefully. After all, I can see that you love your wife very much and don't want her to remain unconscious."

Zhan Jingting spoke each word firmly and resolutely, "Since you can see that, you should know that I will never divorce her!"
