Huo Shiqian hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

"It's Ruan Tang!" Qiao Wanwan said coldly. "She knew all along that she wasn't related to Jing Ting by blood, but she always pretended to be innocent and obedient. After Jing Ting and I got married, she knowingly became a mistress, and even went so far as to harm my child to get Jing Ting. The thought that I'm related to someone like that by blood makes me feel disgusted..."

Huo Shiqian tried to calm himself down and said, "Wanwan, Ruan Tang is just your aunt's daughter, and she's already in jail. Grandpa has also dealt with your aunt. You shouldn't use Ruan Tang's matter to resist the Huo family."

"My parents are both good people with very upright values. They are not like my aunt and Ruan Tang at all. Our little family will not let you down."

“I have my own home, I don’t need another one.” Qiao Wanwan stood up. “Mr. Huo, the reason I’ve told you so much today is that I hope you can persuade your family.”

"Although I am not a biological child of the Qiao family, I have experienced the situation where Qiao Yuqi tried every means to kill me after I returned to the Qiao family. I do not want to repeat the drama of the battle between the real and fake heiresses. I do not mind if you continue to treat Su Yimo as your own daughter, because I cannot give you the kind of warmth you want. Please do not come to me again. Goodbye."

After Qiao Wanwan finished speaking, she turned around and left.

In the examination room, Zhan Jingting saw Qiao Wanwan enter and went up to ask, "Are you done talking?"

Qiao Wanwan smiled slightly. "Mm."

Zhan Jingting reached out and touched her hair. "Are you alright?"

"fine."

The two of them stayed at the hospital all morning, and only took the third son home after he finished his examination.

Qiao Wanwan didn't have much of an appetite. She ate a couple of bites and then went back to her room for a nap.

Perhaps due to emotional exhaustion, she felt extremely tired. She lay down on the bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Qiao Wanwan had a nightmare.

In her dream, she fell into the sea, and the icy water completely submerged her, surrounded by endless darkness!

She felt her body falling continuously, as if a huge black hole was sucking her in!

"Boom!"

A clap of thunder startled Qiao Wanwan awake!

She suddenly opened her eyes, gasping for breath!

The blackout curtains were not closed, but the master bedroom was as dark as night.

Qiao Wanwan picked up the remote control and opened the white gauze curtains, only to find that it had started raining outside sometime earlier.

The sky was so gloomy it looked as if ink had been splashed on it, and the dark clouds were so low they seemed almost within reach.

Large raindrops pounded against the French windows, creating a sense of oppression that made it hard for Qiao Wanwan to breathe!

She walked barefoot to the French windows and stared blankly at the rain outside, which was getting heavier and heavier.

She remembered the cold sweat that broke out when her neighbor told her about it.

She recalled how Qiao Yuqi had schemed against her at every turn after she came to the Qiao family.

It was because the Qiao family thought she was their biological daughter that she became Gu Xulin's fiancée and was seriously injured while saving him.

Although all of this is in the past, it doesn't mean she doesn't remember...

When Zhan Jingting opened the door and came in, Qiao Wanwan was completely unaware until the man draped a shawl over her shoulders, at which point she finally snapped out of her daze.

"You woke up so quickly? You only slept for an hour." The man hugged her from behind and kissed her cheek. "You don't look too good. Did you have a nightmare?"

"Yes, I dreamt that I was about to drown."

"Wanwan, you're so conflicted." Zhan Jingting held her tightly and said in a deep voice, "You know the Huo family is innocent, but you can't help but think that if they hadn't lost you, you wouldn't have gone through so much unhappiness, right?"

Qiao Wanwan's nose stung with tears. "Jing Ting, have I been too harsh?"

"Of course not." Zhan Jingting turned her shoulder. "Wanwan, no one likes suffering. The more spoiled and willful Su Yimo is, the more love the Huo family gives her. And all that love should have belonged to you."

"So you didn't go too far. Anyone else would be unhappy."

As Qiao Wanwan nestled closer to him, she knew that even if the whole world didn't understand her, Zhan Jingting would!

Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes, her tears soaking into the fabric of the man's shirt.

“Jingting, I feel like I’ve used up all my luck in this life to meet you, but…” Qiao Wanwan choked up, “I feel it was all worth it, nothing could be more worthwhile. I don’t want them, I only want you.”

The man chuckled softly, "Baby, I'm so glad you could say that."

Qiao Wanwan felt both amused and exasperated. "Do you really think there's anyone more important than you?"

"No, I'm confident in that."

Qiao Wanwan burst into laughter through her tears, "You just did it on purpose to make me laugh!"

Is it that obvious?

Qiao Wanwan was overjoyed. "Jingting, thank you, thank you for giving me a home."

“Wanwan, this is also what I wanted to tell you.” Zhan Jingting hugged her tightly. “Actually, from Old Master Huo’s attitude towards you before, I could vaguely guess something. I checked, and the jade bracelet he gave you was a family heirloom of the Huo family. It’s impossible for him to give it away to an outsider so easily.”

Qiao Wanwan looked up at him. "Then why didn't you tell me sooner?"

“I didn’t confirm it, so I didn’t tell you,” Zhan Jingting explained. “Besides, if you really are his granddaughter, and he gave you the jade bracelet, it proves that he has confirmed it. Since he has confirmed it, he will naturally come to recognize you. It’s just a matter of time. I didn’t get involved.”
