Qiao Wanwan frowned. "What nonsense are you spouting!"

"It seems you really don't know. I thought you did and were waiting for that time to claim your share of the assets."

Qiao Wanwan frowned even more deeply. "To make me divorce you, you're willing to curse your own son?"

"Who told you I was cursing!" Ruan Wanyi's eyes were filled with pain. "I'm telling the truth, no man in the Zhan family will live past thirty!"

"Impossible!" Qiao Wanwan said firmly, "Jing Ting has headaches, but not this severe!"

"His body shows no abnormalities, but that's the truth! Generations of men in the Zhan family have all experienced rapid physical decline before death, none of them living past thirty. Qiao Wanwan, now that you know, do you still dare to keep him?"

"How could this happen..." Qiao Wanwan couldn't believe it. "I don't believe it..."

"If you don't believe me, go back and ask him. I have no reason to lie to you about this. Or you can just ask Zhan Yin. Aren't you classmates?"

Qiao Wanwan recalled Zhan Yin's hesitant words from that morning, and now she realized that he was very likely referring to this matter!

"So, according to you, Zhan Yin won't live past thirty?"

Ruan Wanyi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Zhan Yin is from a branch of the Zhan family. He doesn't have this kind of hidden illness. He's normal. Otherwise, Jing Ting's grandmother wouldn't have summoned these branch families to the Zhan family for special training."

"In other words, they're just waiting for Jing Ting to die so they can take over the group from him. None of these people are good!"

Qiao Wanwan shook her head. "It's impossible, he won't die... I won't let him die..."

“I didn’t want him to die either, he’s the apple of my eye!” Ruan Wanyi broke down in tears. “But that’s just how it is, there’s nothing anyone can do! So I thought, Jingting has to leave me an heir, he has to find a good girl to marry and have children, but he ended up with you… Qiao Wanwan, if Jingting can’t leave a child and then passes away, I will never let you go!”

Qiao Wanwan's ears were ringing, making it impossible for her to think.

The car window was suddenly banged on, and the two men turned around at the same time to see Zhan Jingting outside.

The next second, the car door opened, and the man, with a gloomy face, said in a cold voice, "Get out of the car."

Qiao Wanwan got out of the car blankly and followed her into the Rolls-Royce next to her.

The car quickly drove away from Imperial University.

Zhan Jingting turned to look at her. "What did my mom say to you?"

Qiao Wanwan realized what was happening and quickly took his hand to check his pulse.

Zhan Jingting frowned and withdrew his hand. "Wanwan, what are you doing?"

Qiao Wanwan stubbornly pressed his hand and continued to take his pulse.

Zhan Jingting suddenly realized what she meant and grabbed her shoulders. "What exactly did she say to you?!"

Qiao Wanwan trembled uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face.

Zhan Jingting frowned deeply. "You know something, don't you?"

"So she didn't lie to me..." Qiao Wanwan asked, choking back tears, "You really won't live past thirty, right?"

Zhan Jingting paused.

Qiao Wanwan already knew the answer, and broke down in tears, "Why did this happen...?"

"Wanwan, I'm sorry." Zhan Jingting hugged her tightly. "Don't cry..."

Qiao Wanwan tried to calm herself down and asked anxiously, "You must have seen the best doctors, but they couldn't find anything wrong?"

"Cannot be found."

"Then why didn't you tell me about this sooner?"

"Wanwan, if I tell you, would you still be willing to be with me?"

Seeing his nervous expression, Qiao Wanwan felt even more sorry for him.

She nodded vigorously, "Yes, I'm willing. Love has nothing to do with time. Even if you only have one day, it can't stop your heart from fluttering, right?"

Zhan Jingting cupped her face in his hands. "Wanwan, thank you."

"I won't let you die." Qiao Wanwan held his hand. "I absolutely won't let you die."

"Wanwan, I won't die." The man wiped away her tears. "If I really can't guarantee my own life, I won't hold you back. Don't worry, the medical team already has a way to prolong my life."

"Really?" Qiao Wanwan looked at him suspiciously and asked doubtfully, "If there really is a way, why didn't you tell your mother? You said to prolong your life, not cure it, so what method is used to prolong your life?"

"Wanwan, it's not important."

"This is very important!" Qiao Wanwan said anxiously. "I will not allow you to prolong your life by any means that torture you!"

"Wanwan, don't overthink it."

“I haven’t thought too much about it, it must be like this!” Qiao Wanwan said firmly. “If it could really be cured, your mother would have known long ago. Since you’ve been keeping it from her, there must be something fishy going on. Tell me the truth, how do you prolong the treatment, and what will be the price?”

Zhan Jingting didn't say anything.

"You said we're husband and wife, and we shouldn't lie to each other!"

Zhan Jingting closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "The price is that the headache will worsen and will most likely occur every day, making life worse than death."

Qiao Wanwan shuddered violently, "It's already hard enough for you to have occasional seizures now, let alone having them every day..."

“I don’t care.” The man’s jaw was clenched. “I won’t leave you alone in this world. I will stay with you.”

Qiao Wanwan hugged him. "We still have time, Zhan Jingting. I won't let you die. I will definitely find a way to cure you. Don't go down this path unless it's absolutely necessary. I don't want to see you suffer."

Zhan Jingting closed his eyes. "Okay..."

......

In the evening, Zhan Jingting went to his study to work, while Qiao Wanwan took a bath in the bathroom.

Although the two chatted and ate happily as usual after returning home, Qiao Wanwan's heart was still heavy.

She must find a master as soon as possible in order to cure Zhan Jingting.

The phone suddenly rang. Qiao Wanwan glanced at the screen and saw that it was Lin Mo calling.

Qiao Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone, "Lin Mo?"

“Wanwan,” Lin Mo’s gentle voice came, “I thought you would come to me immediately.”

Qiao Wanwan paused for a moment, "I'm sorry, I've been a bit busy these past few days and haven't been able to come see you. How's your injury?"

“I know you’re avoiding me. I’m talking about Zhan Jingting’s illness. I thought you would come to me immediately.”

Qiao Wanwan was taken aback. "You know about Zhan Jingting's illness?"

"The Lin family is a family of doctors, and what you don't know is that my grandfather and my father both served as private doctors for the Zhan family. They only stopped serving the Zhan family when they lost interest in me."

"But the key point is that my grandfather and my father were never able to figure out the Zhan family's strange illness, but I am different."

"You figured it out?"

"Yes, so I thought you would come to me first, since Ruan Wanyi had already contacted me."
