Ruan Tang hurriedly explained, "Auntie, how could you assume such a thing about me? How could I possibly be associated with a green tea bitch? My sister-in-law was just teasing me on purpose. I acted rashly because I was afraid that Brother Jingting would be angry!"

Ruan Wanyi looked at her suspiciously, "Really?"

"Of course it's true, Auntie. You've watched me grow up since I was little, don't you know what kind of person I am?"

The suspicion in Ruan Wanyi's eyes gradually faded. "Tangtang, I can see that you don't like Wanwan, but there's nothing I can do. She's the one Jingting likes."

“I tried many methods to break them up, but it didn’t work. Wanwan said that they were not a good match, and Jingting was able to transfer all the assets under his name that he could transfer to her. Just think about what that means?”

Ruan Tang was shocked, "Does Brother Jingting really love Qiao Wanwan that much?"

“Exactly,” Ruan Wanyi said. “I once thought that Eleven was Jingting and Wen Xue’s child, and tried to use the child to help Wen Xue rise to power and replace Wanwan’s position. But Jingting was unmoved. Eleven was far less important to him than Wanwan.”

"Later, when I found out that Eleven was born to Wanwan, Jingting began to love Eleven out of love for her. I finally realized that no matter how much I disliked Wanwan, it couldn't affect Jingting's love for her. Perhaps they were truly destined for each other. I couldn't go against Jingting's wishes, and I couldn't go against fate either."

Ruan Tang seemed thoughtful. "But Aunt, even so, you still don't like Qiao Wanwan, right?"

“Not liking her that much doesn’t mean we can’t be family. Wanwan is a good person. If you treat her well, she will repay you tenfold. She’s the easiest person to get along with. So for Jingting, for Eleven, and for the Zhan family, there’s nothing I can’t accept about her.”

"Tangtang, your aunt has always treated you like her own daughter. You should be like your aunt and turn a blind eye for the sake of the family. Besides, if you take a step back, you'll find that Wanwan isn't as bad as you think."

Ruan Tang smiled slightly. "Auntie, I understand. I'll be more careful in the future."

“That’s right. My aunt only has Jingting as her son. As long as he’s doing well, anything is fine.”

"Yes, I've joined Brother Jingting's medical team. I'll definitely work hard to cure his illness as soon as possible."

"good."

......

Qiao Wanwan rarely goes out. She's either in the lab researching antidotes or spending time with Shiyi, even personally putting him to sleep at night.

Zhan Jingting couldn't help but complain, "The child is so old, he should sleep in his own room. There's no need for him to sleep with us."

Qiao Wanwan disagreed, "Right now, your closest relatives, the Zhan family, are watching him. They might try to get their hands on Wutong Bay, so even your home might not be safe. I can only feel at ease when I'm by your side."

"Also, Master is my weakness. To ensure his safety, starting tomorrow I will let him sleep in Eleven's room. If Eleven wants to sleep with him, I will feel more at ease."

Zhan Jingting did not object, "Alright."

Qiao Wanwan asked, "Are all the people in Wutong Bay now yours, or were they from the Zhan family before?"

“Some of them are from the Zhan family. They used to be with my mother, but now that she lives in Wutong Bay, they naturally came along too,” Zhan Jingting said. “Wanwan, I know what you’re worried about. Tomorrow I will clear these people out and transfer them out of Wutong Bay. The people guarding Wutong Bay are my own people, and they have nothing to do with the Zhan family.”

"Um."

"I don't want to think about it anymore." Zhan Jingting kissed her forehead. "Go to sleep."

"good evening."

Qiao Wanwan quickly fell asleep. In her half-awake state, she subconsciously reached out to hug Eleven beside her, but found nothing!

Qiao Wanwan suddenly opened her eyes and, sure enough, didn't see Eleven!

"Eleven!" Qiao Wanwan sat up in surprise and shouted.

"Mommy!" came Eleven's voice from the bathroom.

Qiao Wanwan hurriedly threw off the covers and ran over, only to see Zhan Jingting accompanying Eleven to the toilet.

"Mommy, did you call for me?" Eleven asked, her eyes still heavy with sleep.

Qiao Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Mommy was scared when she woke up and didn't see you."

"Nothing will happen during the National Day holiday."

"Okay, Mommy was just too nervous."

After returning to bed on November 11, he quickly fell asleep, but Qiao Wanwan couldn't fall asleep.

“Jingting, according to my master, that person is in a wheelchair, so you must pay attention to this when you set up surveillance.”

“I know.” Zhan Jingting held her hand. “Wanwan, no matter who he is, I’m in charge of the capital now.”

"That's true. Even if that person is your grandfather, the capital city has already changed a lot."

"Although we are in the open while he is in the dark, it doesn't mean he has the advantage."

"Um."

“Wanwan, I know your concern isn’t because you don’t believe in my abilities, but because that person is my closest relative, and you have reservations, right?”

"Exactly."

“Wanwan, I know that according to common sense, I will indeed be in a difficult position, but no matter who he is, what he did is inhumane, and I cannot tolerate it.” Zhan Jingting gave her a reassuring look. “So you don’t need to worry. I will not show favoritism for either reason or emotion, let alone the fact that he wants to use my own son’s life to save himself. I will absolutely not allow such a hidden danger to exist.”

"Jingting, I'm willing to believe you."

“You naturally trust me, but you still have your own concerns, which is why you asked Xiang Yang to secretly find someone to be your backup when you fight against others.”

Qiao Wanwan asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

"Xiang Yang called me, but didn't mention this matter at all. However, his words revealed your concern and asked me to take good care of you and comfort you. I could guess what it was, and a check confirmed it."

Qiao Wanwan did not deny it. "Yes, I did ask Xiang Yang to find someone. I need that kind of security."

“Wanwan, I’ll do anything to make you feel safe,” Zhan Jingting said. “The money will come from the card I gave you.”

"No need, I have my own money."

“My money is your money,” Zhan Jingting said. “Besides, my people are all in the open. Anyone in the Zhan family can easily find them. Now, I’m developing people under your name, which means we’re both working for you. I’ll pay for it, and you’ll be in charge of the command.”

Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "Jing Ting, even if you want me to spend your money, you don't have to beat around the bush like this."

"I'm not beating around the bush, I'm just stating the facts. We are husband and wife, one, there's no need to be so clear about the distinction."

"Okay," Qiao Wanwan readily agreed, "I'll do as you say."

"Um."

"Speaking of going in circles, I have a question for you."

"Please ask me whatever you want, Madam. I will answer to the best of my knowledge."

Qiao Wanwan chuckled, "Does Ruan Tang know that she's not your biological cousin?"

Why are you suddenly asking this?

"curious."

“She doesn’t know,” Zhan Jingting said. “The Ruan family are business people, so they naturally wouldn’t do a losing business. Therefore, they wouldn’t tell her about the adoption. The Ruan family’s plan is for her to marry into a family of equal social standing, which would be helpful to the family business.”

Qiao Wanwan was surprised, "So Ruan Tang didn't know that you and I are not related by blood?"
