Zhan Jingting frowned!

Xiang Yang's heart jumped instantly, and he subconsciously looked at the man sitting on the sofa!

The child that Wen Ru revealed before her death was the eldest brother's concern, and also the concern of all of them!

Zhan Jingting tapped his fingertips lightly on the sofa armrest, as if he were thinking. "It seems that Lin Mo has contacted you. Was this his idea?"

"No, Xiao Mo had already inquired with Xiao Gan, so I knew that the child who was sent to the Meng family for treatment back then was actually yours, Young Master Zhan. But Xiao Gan didn't know much, because I personally took over the treatment of that child."

Zhan Jingting said in a deep voice, "Even if you know the whereabouts of the child, I will not agree to your request."

Old Master Meng frowned slightly. "As long as you agree to my request, I can give you medicine to treat your wife and also provide you with clues about your child. You won't lose out."

“Just like Xinyi said, a man of your status and position, which one doesn’t have women outside? Why do you refuse? I know Xinyi. She keeps her word and will definitely stay within her bounds. She will never try to climb the social ladder. All she wants is you as a person and a little bit of your love.”

"Young Master Zhan, you are exceptionally intelligent, far surpassing ordinary people. How could you be so incompetent in this matter?"

Zhan Jingting smiled faintly, "My love isn't enough for my wife, how can I share it with other women? I'll say it again, no matter how many bargaining chips you have, I will not agree to your request. Goodbye, don't bother seeing me out."

Grandpa Meng sighed and said, "Don't rush to refuse. I think this deal is very worthwhile for you. Think it over carefully, and I'll wait for your news."

After Grandpa Meng left, Xiang Yang went to close the door, then returned and sat down on the sofa. "Do you think what he said is true? Does he really know where the child is?"

Zhan Jingting said, "Since he wants Meng Xinyi to come with me, and he loves this granddaughter so much, he naturally wouldn't dare to lie. Otherwise, how could he guarantee Meng Xinyi's safety?"

"That's great!" Xiang Yang exclaimed excitedly. "Now at least it proves that the eldest brother had twins back then, and Eleven really does have a twin brother!"

"What's there to be happy about?" Zhan Jingting said coldly. "I can't possibly agree to that."

"I know you won't agree, but at least it's confirmed. Even if Grandpa Meng doesn't say anything, we can find another way to get the child back!"

Zhan Jingting raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, his handsome face showing slight fatigue. "My mother is right. Eleven years has already taken Wanwan's life. If another child comes along, how can we save her?"

"That's not how it works. The child is still young, and we have a long time to research the antidote. Since this child exists, we must find him. This is also the boss's wish."

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t look for her…” Zhan Jingting stood up. “I’ll go check on Wanwan.”

"Um."

When Zhan Jingting entered the bedroom, Qiao Wanwan was still lying motionless on the bed, just as before. Only the fluctuating lines on the medical instruments beside her proved that she was still alive.

Zhan Jingting sat on the edge of the bed, took the girl's hand, and kissed the back of her hand. "Wanwan, we have news about our other child. You love children so much, you must be happy to know, right? But I can't be happy."

"You lie here, your mother is nowhere to be found, and now there's another child missing, just another burden on my shoulders..."

"Will you laugh at me for being irresponsible? Wanwan, I'm not afraid to take responsibility. In fact, as long as you are healthy and safe by my side, I am willing to take on anything."

"Wanwan, you've been asleep for a very, very long time. It's time to wake up. I need you, do you understand...?"

The girl on the bed remained motionless.

Zhan Jingting closed his eyes in pain, and after a long while, he slowly opened them. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the potted gardenia on the bedside table, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes. He then threw it directly into the trash can...

......

Meng Xinyi returned to the Meng family home and locked herself in her room, refusing to come out or even eat dinner.

Grandpa Meng knocked on the door. "Xinyi, listen to me, come out and eat something. You can think of a solution slowly once you've filled your stomach."

"He rejected me so decisively, what else could we do?" Meng Xinyi's sobs rang out. "Grandpa, am I really that bad? I didn't force him to divorce me, I kept giving in, why is he treating me like this..."

"Xinyi, you are very good." Grandpa Meng said with heartache, "Have you thought about it? Since you are so good, but he still doesn't like you, it means that the two of you are not destined to be together."

“Xinyi, loving someone is much harder than being loved. There are so many boys who like you. You could pick any one of them and be happier than with Zhan Jingting.”

"As for Zhan Jingting, I'll give him the medicine and tell him where the child is. Then we'll become his benefactors. With him as your support, you'll be well-off and happy for the rest of your life."

"No!" A clattering sound came from the room. "I've said it before, I'll never be happy without Zhan Jingting! I only love him, I only want him! Stop forcing me to give him up!"

"Alright, alright, Grandpa misspoke. Grandpa won't force you!" Grandpa Meng quickly comforted her. "Xinyi, don't be angry or sad. Let's think of another way, okay?"

Meng Xinyi lay on the quilt and wailed loudly.

Grandpa Meng advised, "Xinyi, you must not do anything foolish. There is hope as long as you are alive. If you die, you will never see Zhan Jingting again, do you understand?"

"I won't die!" Meng Xinyi suddenly sat up and said firmly, "I'm going to live well. I refuse to believe that I, a living person, can't beat a person in a vegetative state!"

"That's the right way to think. Grandpa will definitely find a way to help you."

Meng Xinyi wiped away her tears and got up to open the door.

Grandpa Meng breathed a sigh of relief. "Xinyi, you scared Grandpa to death! Come on, Grandpa will take you to eat."

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have acted like that and made you feel bad."

Grandpa Meng choked up with emotion, "As long as you're alright, Grandpa's alright too."

"Grandpa, I will be good. I'll go eat now."

"Good, that's my good granddaughter."

After finishing her meal and returning to her room, Meng Xinyi took out her phone and called Lin Mo.

"...Brother Mo, that's how it is. What should I do now?"

Lin Mo's voice, chuckling softly, came from behind him. "Xin Yi, you should be happy."

How could I possibly be happy?

"Zhan Jingting's refusal to accept you proves his loyalty. If such a man falls in love with you in the future, won't that loyalty belong to you?"

Meng Xinyi was delighted, "Brother Mo, what you said makes sense!"

But in an instant, she became distressed again, "But Zhan Jingting refuses to accept me now. I don't even have the chance to get in touch with him or let him discover how good I am. There's no way I can make him fall in love with me!"

Lin Mo hesitated before speaking, then said, "It seems that we have no other choice but to use this one method..."

Meng Xinyi asked expectantly, "What method?"
