Zhan Jingting took it, his deep eyes staring at the folder in his hand. After a long while, he slowly opened it.

Jiang Dong reported, "Three years ago, the Qiao family held an 18th birthday banquet for Madam and Qiao Yuqi at the Imperial Capital Hotel. Many guests were invited, but Qiao Yuqi was the main character, while Madam was just an accompaniment."

"But ever since the birthday party, the Qiao family has never allowed Madam to appear in public again. She was suspended from school and disappeared for almost a year before she returned to school."

“I checked all the hospital records and there were no records of my wife’s prenatal check-ups or childbirth. If my wife really was pregnant and gave birth, either she didn’t go to a regular hospital at all, or all the traces were erased.”

Zhan Jingting closed the documents in his hand, painfully shut his eyes, and said, "Investigate."

“Yes.” Jiang Dong nodded. “Madam… I was referring to your mother. I heard you left her here to take care of her and she was very angry. Also, the Zhan family has been watching your every move. Because of Madam’s situation, they have decided to hold a shareholders’ meeting.”

"Give the order that no one is to disturb me while I am recovering. Nothing is more important than Wanwan right now, and..." A chilling glint flashed in the man's eyes, "The Qiao Group can be discontinued."

"yes."

......

The following morning, the doctor came to examine Zhan Jingting and continued his medication.

The phone suddenly rang. Qiao Wanwan glanced at it and quickly answered, "Zaozao?"

"Sister, could you come to the hospital?"

Qiao Wanwan's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, anyway, come to the same hospital."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Qiao Wanwan hung up the phone and looked anxiously at the man on the hospital bed. "She called me early this morning. I was worried something had happened to her. I have to go over there."

"Go ahead, but come back soon."

"Um."

Zhan Jingting and Cheng Zaozao were not staying at the same hospital; they were about half an hour apart by car.

Qiao Wanwan rushed to the ward, "Zaozao, what's wrong!"

"Sister!" Cheng Zaozao exclaimed excitedly, "Come and see who's here!"

Qiao Wanwan looked closely and exclaimed with delight, "Dr. Lin? You're back!"

A strikingly handsome young man sat on a chair beside the hospital bed, wearing a well-tailored gray suit and gold-rimmed glasses, exuding a gentle and refined air.

"Wanwan, it's been a long time." The man smiled, like a prince straight out of a comic book, and his voice was as melodious as an elegant violin.

"Long time no see, when did you come back to China?"

"I just arrived last night, and I came to see you and Zaozao today."

Cheng Zaozao's eyes lit up, "Sister, Brother Lin Mo came to see us as soon as he got back!"

"Thank you, Dr. Lin, you're so kind."

Lin Mo pretended to be serious, "If you call me Dr. Lin again, I'm going to get angry."

Qiao Wanwan scratched her head shyly, "Lin Mo, thank you."

"Wanwan, it's been so long! Let me treat you to lunch. I have something I want to tell you."

"Okay, please have a seat. I'll be right back."

"good."

Qiao Wanwan arrived at the payment counter. "Cheng Zaozao has almost used up her money, right? I'm here to pay the difference."

The staff checked it and said, "There's still over 900,000 left."

"What?" Qiao Wanwan frowned. "There must be a mistake. We didn't pay this much money."

"It's Cheng Zaozao, no mistake."

Qiao Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "Could you help me check my payment records?"

"Just a moment." The staff quickly checked and found, "There were recent payment records for 200,000 and 1 million, so the account has sufficient balance, and..."

"And what?"

"This account seems to be linked. It will automatically replenish when the balance is below 200,000. Ms. Qiao, it seems you no longer need to worry about Cheng Zaozao's treatment costs."

"I understand, thank you."

Qiao Wanwan left quickly and sat on a bench outside the ward, lost in thought.

She didn't need to ask to know that Zhan Jingting had paid the fees for her.

In the past, she would have felt grateful and thought about repaying him, but now, she is afraid she can no longer repay him.

"Wanwan?" A pleasant voice interrupted Qiao Wanwan's thoughts.

She looked up abruptly and saw Lin Mo. "What's wrong?"

"I want to ask you what's wrong. Why are you sitting here crying all by yourself?"

Qiao Wanwan raised her hand and realized that she was already in tears.

"I'm fine."

"Wanwan, let's go out and find a place to sit down."

"Okay, we agreed to have dinner together. Wait a moment, I'll go say hello to Zaozao."

"Um."

The two arrived at an upscale restaurant and asked for a private room to sit down.

After ordering, the waiter left. Lin Mo took a sip of water and said, "Wanwan, I'm sorry I'm late."

"It's not late, it's just my surgery time. I'll have to trouble you to perform the surgery again. I hope my leg will recover to normal after this surgery."

"That's not what I meant." A hint of heartache flashed in Lin Mo's eyes. "I meant what happened at the Zhan family's house that day."

Qiao Wanwan's face paled. "You knew?"

"The Lin family is considered a wealthy family in the capital. I know it's not surprising that this matter has become a topic of conversation."

Qiao Wanwan gave a slight smile. "I'm sorry you had to see this."

“Wanwan, I’m not laughing at you. I know exactly what kind of person you are. I just feel sorry for you.”

"Thank you." Qiao Wanwan took a sip of hot tea and said, "Lin Mo, actually I've been waiting for this surgery. I want to be able to walk normally again. I want to become strong, strong enough that no one can hurt me anymore."

"Wanwan, I'm very confident about this surgery. I'll make you normal again. Trust me."

"I have always believed in you."

"Then what's going on between you and that man from the Zhan family?" Lin Mo gently tapped the rim of the teacup with his hand. "You're not the kind of person who would impulsively get married."

"It's a long story, but I'll be getting a divorce soon." Qiao Wanwan suppressed the bitterness in her eyes. "I have some things to do these days, so the surgery may have to be postponed."

"Okay, I'll get ready then."

Qiao Wanwan nodded. "How long do you plan to stay this time?"

"Look at you."

Qiao Wanwan asked suspiciously, "Look at me?"

“Yes, Wanwan, if you want to leave here, I will take you away. You said before that you really like Paris.”

Qiao Wanwan was taken aback. "You're taking me away? Why?"

Lin Mo smiled and said, "Don't take it personally. What I mean is, I can go on a trip with you to relax. I have a house in Paris, so it's very convenient."

Qiao Wanwan didn't think much of it. "Thank you, Lin Mo. I still have a lot of things to do in the capital. Zaozao's condition hasn't improved much either, so I can't go out and have fun right now."

"Okay, I'll wait for you. I believe everything will pass, and then we'll go out and have fun together."

"Um."

At that time, it was a VIP ward in the hospital.

Zhan Jingting summoned Jiang Dong, "Why hasn't Madam returned yet?"

Jiang Dong dared not answer.

"What happened?" The man frowned slightly. "Speak!"
