Zhang Qin went out, and Ye Ning closed the door but didn't lock it.

Because the door lock had been kicked down by Yang Zhi and his men who had just broken in, the door could now only be closed with great difficulty.

Ye Ningwan turned around and smiled at Madam Pei.

"It seems your assistant cares about you very much and is extremely loyal to you. She's a really good assistant."

Madam Pei did not respond to this, but stared at Ye Ningwan with a wary and indifferent expression, and questioned her in a hoarse voice.

"Ye Ningwan, just say what you want to say! This stalling tactic won't work on me! I'm determined to protect Han Qingting!"

Ye Ningwan chuckled.

She walked step by step toward Madam Pei, and only stopped slowly when she reached the sofa. She looked at her and sighed sincerely.

"I must say, sister-in-law, you are truly a good mother. Although many of the things you do are incredibly foolish, even laughable, you are willing to give up everything for your son, including your reputation and innocence."

Madam Pei interrupted Ye Ningwan with disgust and questioned her.

"Ye Ningwan, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Ye Ningwan's gaze softened as if she had thought of something.

“Sister-in-law, sometimes I really envy Pei Minghan, whether in the past or now, because he has such a good mother like you, who has always loved him from the bottom of her heart, even though many of her actions are wrong, but your love for him will never change.”

"But what about me? I was an abandoned child when I was little. I don't even know who my parents are."

“I have never felt my parents’ love. Even during my years in the Ye family, they only ever used me. No one in this world will love me.”

Madam Pei was taken aback.

She looked at Ye Ningwan's expression and it didn't seem fake. Moreover, after all, this person in front of her was once her son's fiancée. Even if she didn't like Ye Ningwan, Madam Pei knew Ye Ningwan's background very well.

But so what?

Madam Pei has never been a person who is good at empathy. She is selfish and only cares about the people she wants to care about and only protects the people she wants to protect.

As for others, they are all people she can sacrifice.

"Why are you telling me all this? Do you want me to pity you? Ye Ningwan, it's all fate. Your life is bad because you committed sins in your past life, so this is why you are like this in this life. You can't blame anyone else; you can only suffer on your own."

This statement can be described as extremely cold and heartless.

Ye Ningwan smiled gently upon hearing this.

She said.

"I don't care whether you sympathize with me or not, but I do feel sorry for you. Considering how maternal you are, I've decided to lend you a hand, that's all."

Madam Pei sneered.

"You'll help me? Who would believe that!"

Ye Ningwan didn't care whether Madam Pei believed her or not.

"Of course, this is not free. I will tell you a truth, and in return, you will tell me a truth as well."

Madam Pei rolled her eyes.

"Stop pretending to be a good person, Ye Ningwan. I know what I'm doing and don't need your presumptuous help!"

Ye Ningwan remained silent, staring thoughtfully at Madam Pei before slowly uttering a few words.

Even if it concerns your son's life, don't you need it?

Madam Pei, who was about to stand up, suddenly stopped, staring intently at Ye Ningwan's face, her gaze narrow and intimidating.

"What do you mean by that?!"

Ye Ningwan didn't intend to hide anything; she simply smiled faintly at Madam Pei and then spoke.

“I’ve reminded you many times, but unfortunately you never understood, or rather, you simply don’t believe in this possibility. You probably have a feeling in your heart, right? Why would the legendary healer be such a person?”

Ye Ningwan bluntly shattered Madam Pei's last shred of illusion.

But Madam Pei, her face pale, roared at Ye Ningwan.

"Impossible! This is impossible, you must be lying to me. How could Han Qingting be a fake medical genius? He clearly treated Old Madam Sheng..."

Ye Ningwan gave a cold laugh.

"You mean to say that Han Qingting clearly cured Old Madam Sheng's cancer, right?"

"But what if it's just a temporary relapse before Old Madam Sheng's death? What if Han Qingting didn't actually cure her illness, but merely made the Sheng family believe she was cured?"

Madam Pei suddenly stood up, grabbed Ye Ningwan, and roared angrily.

"You're talking nonsense! How could that be? That's absolutely impossible!"

Ye Ningwan's smile was cold.

"Really? What's impossible?"

"Does Han Qingting look like a doctor to you? Do you think someone like that could have such superb medical skills? Or do you really think someone like that could cure diseases and heal people?"

A look of confusion flashed in Madam Pei's eyes.

She covered her head and slumped onto the sofa, her eyes filled with tears. She shook her head desperately, as if trying to shake the words in her mind out.

She didn't want to believe, nor dared to believe, what Ye Ningwan said.

This was her last hope!

She was willing to endure so much, willing to believe that Han Qingting was a true healer. She hoped to give herself a glimmer of hope, and also to give Pei Minghan a tiny bit of hope, hoping that his son could still be saved.

"Stop talking! Stop talking! I won't listen! I don't believe you! I won't listen to anything! I don't believe anything!"

Ye Ningwan couldn't help but sneer at Madam Pei's evasive behavior.

"It's really ugly!"

She stepped forward, forcefully grabbed Madam Pei's wrist, pulled her hand away from her head, pinched her chin, forced her to raise her head, and stared into her eyes as she spoke, word by word.

"Even if you want to escape, you can't hide the truth: Han Qingting is nothing but a fraud who cheats people out of food, drink, money, and even sex!"

Madam Pei roared at Ye Ningwan.

"No! I don't believe it. He clearly cured Minghan. With just one needle, Minghan...he could...he could..."

Ye Ningwan frowned and asked in surprise.

"You had Han Qingting treat Pei Minghan's illness?"

She threw Madam Pei onto the bed and said coldly.

"I take back what I just said. Your stupidity will kill your son!"

Madam Pei collapsed onto the sofa, her face ashen as if she were dead, yet she stubbornly shook her head and muttered to herself.

"No...it's impossible...it can't be...you're a liar, you've got ulterior motives, you must have been lying to me about what you just said! How could Han Qingting be a liar? He cured Old Madam Sheng, how could he lie to me?"

"it's out of the question……"

Madam Pei shook her head and kept talking to herself, it was unclear whether she was refuting Ye Ningwan's words or trying to hypnotize herself.

There was a knock on the door of the lounge.

Luo Rui's voice rang out from outside.

"Madam Pei..."
