The Huo Group suddenly launched an attack on the Dijin Group. Although it was a move that would hurt the enemy eight hundred while also losing a thousand of its own, the other party was surprisingly resolute in its response!

Wen Lijing, being a non-businessman, was somewhat overwhelmed. Fortunately, Zhan Jingting had recovered well and quickly returned to the Dijing Group to take control of the situation.

Qiao Wanwan focused on her research at home.

Xiao Jiu's genetic disease is well controlled, as is the third child. Intervention and treatment began when she was pregnant. Although no effect was visible, the third child's physical examinations after birth all came back normal.

Currently, besides treating her two children, Qiao Wanwan's focus is still on Zhan Jingting.

Time is the most precious thing right now. We must race against time to cure Zhan Jingting's illness and reduce his suffering!

In the afternoon, Wen Lijing arrived at Wutong Bay.

Qiao Wanwan asked curiously, "Isn't the Imperial View Group very busy? How come you have time to come over?"

Zhan Jingting has been working overtime these past two days and doesn't get home until very late at night.

Wen Lijing sat down. "Wanwan, the Huo family has contacted me. They want to meet with you."

"The Huo family? Old Master Huo?"

"No, it's Huo Shiqian, the current president of the Huo family."

"What does he want with me?"

"He didn't say."

Does Jing Ting know?

“He came to see me; Jingting probably doesn’t know that.”

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"It's ridiculous that a complete stranger, who is also my current enemy, wants to meet with me in private."

Do you want to see him?

“Sure,” Qiao Wanwan readily accepted. “This isn’t the first time we’ve crossed paths with the Huo family, but we haven’t had any formal contact before. Now it seems like it’s time to meet them.”

Should we tell Jingting?

“Of course, we’re husband and wife, there are no secrets between us,” Qiao Wanwan said. “But Jingting won’t go. If he goes in person, it would be too much of a favor to the Huo family.”

Wen Lijing chuckled, "Then I'll go with you. In case they have ill intentions, I can protect you."

"OK."

......

The meeting with the Huo family took place at a high-end private club.

When Qiao Wanwan and Wen Lijing arrived, a handsome man was making tea in the luxuriously decorated private room.

Qiao Wanwan felt that this man looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

Huo Shiqian stood up, a gentle smile on his handsome face. "It seems Miss Qiao has a bad memory and doesn't remember me."

Qiao Wanwan became even more curious, "Have we met before?"

Huo Shiqian sighed, "You even pursued me, but I didn't expect you to have forgotten everything."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

Wen Lijing looked shocked. "Wanwan, you pursued him?"

Qiao Wanwan was completely confused, then suddenly remembered something, "I remember now! It was that time on the road!"

“That’s right.” Huo Shiqian extended his hand. “I didn’t expect that we would only officially meet today. Hello, Miss Qiao, this is Huo Shiqian.”

Qiao Wanwan reached out and shook his hand, politely saying, "Qiao Wanwan."

"Please sit down."

Thank you.

The three of them quickly sat down, and Qiao Wanwan looked at the man opposite her.

Like Zhan Jingting, he was clearly a chosen one, exuding an innate nobility in every gesture and possessing an outstanding temperament.

No wonder she mistook someone else for someone else last time!

"I wonder what brings Mr. Huo to see me?" Qiao Wanwan asked proactively.

Huo Shiqian poured them tea. "The Huo Group and the Dijing Group are currently locked in a fierce battle. My meeting with Miss Qiao is either to provoke her or to seek reconciliation."

Qiao Wanwan smiled gently, "So, Mr. Huo, is this arrangement you've set up today a provocation or a reconciliation?"

"I hope for a reconciliation," Huo Shiqian said, taking a sip of hot tea. "I just don't know if Miss Qiao and I can reach an agreement."

Qiao Wanwan raised an eyebrow. "I'm all ears."

"Then I'll get straight to the point." Huo Shiqian looked at her. "Ruan Tang saved my grandfather before, so the Huo family naturally has to repay the favor. Therefore, the Huo family asked the Wen family to help mediate the matter of rescuing her at the villa. It was also the Huo family that asked you to let her go."

"I know, so this time the Huo Group is attacking the Dijing Group because of Ruan Tang?"

“Exactly,” Huo Shiqian said frankly. “Because Ruan Tang’s role in the Huo family is more than just a matter of saving a life. We discovered that she is actually my aunt’s long-lost daughter.”

"What?" Ruan Tang exclaimed in disbelief, "So melodramatic?"

Huo Shiqian: "..."

"It's quite dramatic, but it was because Ruan Tang was seriously injured and hospitalized that the Huo family discovered her condition when she was registered at the blood bank," Huo Shiqian said. "So Ruan Tang is my cousin, and I have to take her home."

Qiao Wanwan suddenly realized, "The Huo family's attack on the Dijing Group this time is actually a warning, in order to make us hand over Ruan Tang to the Huo family."

Huo Shiqian remained noncommittal. "Ruan Tang is of no use to you whatsoever, especially since she is currently unconscious and her life is in danger. Miss Qiao, why don't you do her a favor and return her to the Huo family?"

Qiao Wanwan smiled faintly, "Mr. Huo, you may not know my husband very well. If the Huo family had come to us to discuss things amicably beforehand, I might have given you some face and considered it."

"But you provoked us first. My husband and I are the type of people who respond better to gentle persuasion than force, so we will absolutely not give Ruan Tang to you!"

“I might as well tell you that Ruan Tang covets my husband, disregards my son’s life, and has tried to kill him time and time again. Whether as his legal wife or as a mother, I will not let her off easily.”

"Finally, I don't know if Mr. Huo is aware of what Ruan Tang has done. If he is aware and firmly protects her, then I think our values ​​are incompatible and there is no need to continue the conversation."
