"Even the CEO is here?" Qiao Wanwan laughed. "The Huo family is really helping the Zhao family. It seems they're going to resolve this matter."

"Madam, do you wish to see?"

"I won't see them." Qiao Wanwan calmly flipped through her medical book. "I'm very busy and don't have time to see these strangers. Go tell this CEO that the Zhao family has only ten hours left."

"If he asks me what I want, it is that I want my son to pay back all the suffering he has endured over the past few years."

"Yes, madam."

Not long after, Zheng Ma rushed back happily, "Madam, you were right! They really did ask for your request, and I told them what you wanted."

"Okay, don't worry about it," Qiao Wanwan said. "Go to the kitchen and prepare some afternoon tea that Eleven and Xiao Jiu like, so they can eat it when they wake up."

"yes."

......

As evening fell, there was still no movement from the Zhao family.

Qiao Wanwan stopped interfering in the matter and adopted a policy of politeness first, then force. She was in charge of the "politeness" part, and since the Zhao family didn't buy it, she left the rest to Zhan Jingting to handle.

Zhan Jingting was known for his decisive and efficient actions. In less than half a month, he had driven the Zhao family to the brink of bankruptcy.

Qiao Wanwan didn't inquire about it, but occasionally learned about the progress from Jiang Dong, and asked curiously, "Didn't the Huo family intervene?"

"The Huo family must have thought this through before offending Master Zhan. Since they haven't taken action, it means the Zhao family isn't worth the Huo family's efforts to protect."

Qiao Wanwan nodded. "Sister Shujun also said that the Huo family is only her mother-in-law's cousin, and they are not that close. It is normal for the Huo family to stay out of it."

“Yes,” Jiang Dong said. “Madam, I have already made arrangements for the Ninth Young Master’s schooling. He will be in the same class as the Eleventh Young Master.”

"Yes, apart from not speaking, Xiao Jiu is perfectly normal in every other way. He's also smart, knows more characters than Eleven, and has a stronger learning ability. Of course, he can go to kindergarten normally. Teachers love well-behaved and smart children like him the most."

"Don't worry, Madam. Our own kindergarten is very convenient. In addition to the existing teaching staff, Master Zhan has also specially arranged for two professional child psychology experts to be stationed here, which will be helpful to the young master."

“Okay,” Qiao Wanwan said. “Xiao Jiu’s psychologist said that getting him to talk is not something that can be done overnight. It’s a long-term battle, and we must be patient.”

"Yes. But the servants at home all say that the young master is becoming more cheerful every day."

"Yes, that's a good thing."

Unable to withstand the pressure, the Zhao family quickly arrived in the capital, begging Zhan Jingting to let them go.

All the Zhao family could offer was money. They promised that if Zhan Jingting would let them go, they would give all the money they had as compensation to Xiao Jiu.

Zhan Jingting naturally wouldn't buy it, and without even seeing them, he swiftly and decisively destroyed the Zhao family's company!

Qiao Wanwan went to Qin Shujun's room and handed her a check. "Originally, I thought that the Zhao family could give me a satisfactory explanation and then make them compensate you for what they owe you over the years."

"They haven't given me a satisfactory reply yet, and Jingting isn't willing to waste any more words with them. He's just gone bankrupt. Keep this money for yourself. You can't repay Xiao Jiu's kindness in raising you, so this money is a small token of my appreciation."

"I can't accept it." Qin Shujun looked at the amount on the bill and dared not take it. "To me, Xiao Jiu is my own son. How can a mother who is raising her son take money?"

"Of course I know you're not after the money, but I think a woman needs money to feel secure. You're not in good health and can't work, so if you invest this money, it should be enough to ensure you're financially secure for the rest of your life."

"Wanwan, I really can't accept this. Otherwise, I'll despise myself. Please grant my request."

Qiao Wanwan didn't press the issue. "Alright, I'll keep that money as a deposit for you. I'll calculate the interest for you, and I'll give it to you whenever you need it. In short, don't be shy about money with me; just let me know if you need anything."

"Thank you, Wanwan."

"You're welcome."

With the Zhao family's affairs settled, Qiao Wanwan was busy researching ways to suppress the onset of Xiao Jiu's genetic disease.

In the afternoon, Ruan Tang came to the door, eager to see Qiao Wanwan.

Qiao Wanwan was speechless. "Why is she here again?"

Zheng Ma found it amusing. "Madam, do you wish to see her?"

"We still have to see her. Let's go see what this cheap cousin of mine is up to now."

"yes."

When Qiao Wanwan arrived downstairs, Ruan Tang was already sitting and waiting, with a mysterious smile on her exquisitely made-up face.

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

She stepped forward and asked, "Cousin, how's your research going lately?"

Ruan Tang stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, what I'm about to say is absolutely confidential and cannot be told to outsiders. Let's find another place to talk."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"Alright, come with me."

The two arrived at the tea room, but even Zheng Ma didn't go in.

Qiao Wanwan sat down. "Go ahead and speak."

Ruan Tang mysteriously took an iPad out of her bag and handed it to Qiao Wanwan, saying, "Sister-in-law, take a good look."

Qiao Wanwan took it and carefully examined the information on it.

"Sister-in-law, that's right, I've found a way to save Brother Jingting!" Ruan Tang said excitedly. "I found people who can donate blood to Brother Jingting, and we'll use their blood for research and cleanse the blood with medication. The experiment was a great success, and we can perform a blood transfusion for Brother Jingting immediately. After the surgery, Brother Jingting will be free from his nightmare!"

Qiao Wanwan frowned. "You're overthinking it."

"What do you mean I'm overthinking it?" Ruan Tang pointed at the iPad. "Look carefully, the data is here. You don't have to believe me, but you can't disbelieve the data!"

“I told you before that this method wouldn’t work, didn’t you listen?” Qiao Wanwan said. “Jingting’s genetic disease has completely different blood values ​​when he’s having an attack and when he’s not having an attack. It’s true that you took Jingting’s blood for the experiment, but you can’t apply the results of the experiment on normal blood to when he’s having an attack.”

"Oh, right, there's something else I haven't told you. Over the years, Jingting's father has undergone various treatments, including your method of using a normal person's blood to treat him. Not only did it not cure the disease, it also caused his body to age rapidly. He looks like he's in his sixties or seventies when he's only in his forties. This is enough to prove that if the treatment for this kind of genetic disease is not precise enough to cure the disease, there will definitely be strong side effects."

“I want Jingting to live, but to live healthily, not to become a monster, so I’m becoming more and more cautious with the medication.”

Ruan Tang retorted indignantly, "Sister-in-law, aren't I doing this for Jing Ting's own good? Do you know that I've been working almost non-stop on this research lately? I finally achieved some success, but you've belittled it to nothing. Do you think I did this research hoping that Jing Ting would become a monster?"

"You are so disrespectful to people and to others' hard work. I know you are a miracle doctor and you are very capable, but there are always people more skilled than you. You can't be so narrow-minded as to not accept that others are more outstanding than you or have achieved results before you, can you?"

Qiao Wanwan: "......???"
