"Huh?" Xing Zhaozhao turned her head to look in surprise.
As soon as Chen Wei saw Xing Zhaozhao's face, she couldn't help but frown in disgust and quickly looked away.
Xing Zhaozhao: "..." Is it really that serious?
"That old man always does things by any means necessary. If you don't want to end up like that girl in his family, you'd better be prepared," Chen Wei warned Xing Zhaozhao, her voice tinged with impatience.
"Who is that little girl?" Xing Zhaozhao asked curiously.
Chen Wei glanced at Xing Zhaozhao, then quickly looked away: "You didn't know?"
Xing Zhaozhao shook her head: "I don't know."
Chen Wei clicked her tongue and said, "You know nothing, yet you dare to get close to that old man. I don't know whether to call you ignorant or fearless."
Xing Zhaozhao: "..." Probably a bit of both, but that doesn't stop her from achieving her goal.
"Do you know what good deeds that old man did in the Gao family before?" Chen Wei asked.
Xing Zhaozhao nodded: "I've heard her mention it a little."
Chen Wei chuckled: "She told you herself? She was at the Gao family's house, and she had Gao Hongfei completely under her thumb?"
"Mm." Xing Zhaozhao nodded again.
“That’s true. That’s all she dares to tell you. If people knew that she personally sent her most trusted granddaughter to Gao Hongfei’s bed in order to scheme for the Gao family’s money, anyone with a modicum of sense would stay far away from her, lest they accidentally fall into her trap one day,” Chen Wei said.
Xing Zhaozhao was shocked and couldn't help but exclaim, "What?"
She knew that Lin Wan had caused trouble in the Gao family, making them very wary, but Lin Wan had always kept it a secret, and she had never found out. She never expected it to be something like this.
By the way, Gao Yang.
Xing Zhaozhao suddenly remembered the time she overheard Gao Yang mentioning her background and how she looked so dejected. Her face immediately turned very ugly.
Based on his age, Gao Yang should be the product of that accident, right?
I remember back then, she even joked about how rich people knew how to have fun, but little did she know that she would end up gossiping about her own family.
Knowing Mingcheng's temper, she couldn't even imagine what kind of chaos would have ensued at home back then.
"Unexpected, isn't it?" Chen Wei continued, "The worst part is that neither of the parties involved knew anything about it; she just forced them together. Especially that young girl, who's only in her early twenties. Being schemed against like this by her trusted grandmother, she's become mentally unstable afterward. When that old woman found out the girl was pregnant, she deliberately waited until the baby was big, then went to the Gao family in front of everyone with the child to force them to resign. The girl couldn't handle the shock and went insane; she's still in a mental hospital now."
Xing Zhaozhao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. She took two deep breaths and finally managed to suppress her rising anger.
Humans doing this? Is this how humans do things?
At this moment, Lin Wan noticed Xing Zhaozhao and Chen Wei standing at the door, talking about something. Feeling uneasy, she walked over and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Xing Zhaozhao suddenly turned her head to look over, unable to control her emotions for a moment, her eyes blazing with anger as she looked directly at Lin Wan.
Lin Wan was startled and stumbled backward, almost falling.
Xing Zhaozhao actually wanted to see her just fall to her death, but thinking it wasn't the right time, she held back for the time being and still reached out to pull her up.
Lin Wan finally managed to stand up and looked at Xing Zhaozhao again: "You..."
Xing Zhaozhao had already suppressed her emotions and looked at Lin Wan with concern, asking, "Grandma, are you alright?"
Lin Wan stared at her for a while, but couldn't figure it out. She shook her head and said, "It's nothing."
After saying that, she looked at Chen Wei warily and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"
Chen Wei looked at Lin Wan and smiled provocatively, "What? Are you scared too?" After saying that, she turned around and left. As for how suspicious Lin Wan could be, she didn't care. If she could make Lin Wan unable to eat or sleep, that would be the best outcome.
Having gotten no information from Chen Wei, Lin Wan turned to Xing Zhaozhao again and asked, "What exactly did you two talk about?"
“She really didn’t say anything,” Xing Zhaozhao said. “She’s just saying that on purpose to drive a wedge between us. I ran into her before when I was in the hospital. She really dislikes me, and her husband even threw me out of the ward. Now that you’ve had a conflict with her, she’s probably hoping we’ll fall out.”
Lin Wan was very satisfied with Xing Zhaozhao's awareness and had no doubts at all. She held Xing Zhaozhao's hand with a smile and said, "Good, good. It's good that you think this way. Don't worry about following me. I will definitely not treat you badly."
Xing Zhaozhao smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, Grandma, who else can I rely on if not you?"
"It's good that you think that way," Lin Wan said, then asked, "By the way, I just heard Chen Wei say that Gao Mingcheng's health is improving? Why didn't you mention it before?"
Xing Zhaozhao shook her head blankly: "I don't know. I always go secretly, and I never get to see the doctor."
After saying that, she quickly showed a happy expression and said, "Has Mingcheng's condition improved? Does that mean he will wake up soon? That's good news."
Lin Wan forced a smile and chuckled awkwardly. "Good my ass."
Seeing this, Xing Zhaozhao thought of Chen Wei's warning to Lin Wan and felt a pang of anxiety. She smiled and comforted her, saying, "Grandma, don't listen to that person's alarmist talk. Mingcheng is a very good person. You are our matchmaker, so he will definitely not do anything to you. You can rest assured."
Lin Wan chuckled again. "Don't worry."
"By the way, why haven't I seen Xia Xia these past two days?" Lin Wan looked around and quickly changed the subject, asking.
Lin Wan brought Xing Zhaozhao and Chen Xiaoxia with her to Beijing this time.
When they were in Lanyuan, Chen Xiaoxia rarely went out and almost always stayed at home to take care of Lin Wan. This time, after coming to the capital, for some reason, she was nowhere to be seen all day long, and no one knew where she had gone.
"I don't know." Xing Zhaozhao shook her head and said, "These past few days, Aunt Xia has been leaving early in the morning and coming back very late. I don't know where she goes."
Lin Wan frowned, pondered for a moment, and unconsciously muttered to herself, "Could it be that they went there..."
Xing Zhaozhao curiously leaned closer and asked, "Does the old lady know where Aunt Xia went?"
Lin Wan's eyes flickered, seemingly not wanting Xing Zhaozhao to know, and she shook her head with a smile, saying, "I don't know either."
After saying that, he instructed Xing Zhaozhao, "When Xia comes back later, have her come to me."
"Okay." Xing Zhaozhao nodded.
Lin Wan seemed to be deep in thought before turning around and going back to her room.
Xing Zhaozhao frowned slightly as she watched Lin Wan leave.
I have a feeling that she's up to something again.
