Chapter 988 Engagement Banquet
After Zhan Tingbei entered, he asked directly: "Uncle Mo, there is no need for you and I to keep you in suspense. I think you know better than me what the relationship between Mo Bei and our Bingxia was. We cannot accept Mo Bei's sudden engagement with someone else. If Mr. Mo does not give us a reasonable explanation, today's engagement ceremony..."
"Tingbei, come with me." Mo Ling sighed deeply and brought a few people to the backyard.
Qiao Yanmeng saw from a distance a yard surrounded by several burly men. All of them were wearing white protective suits, as if some terrible source of infection was locked up inside.
"Please get each of them a set of protective clothing." Mo Ling's voice was particularly dull.
After the three of them changed their clothes, they could only see each other's faces and eyes through the transparent masks.
Led by Mo Ling, several people arrived outside the small courtyard. Through the window, Qiao Yanmeng saw the lady lying on the hospital bed.
She is Mo Bei's mother, Chen Ying.
"A few days ago, my wife came back from a vacation in Africa. The next day, she had a high fever for no apparent reason. We treated her with conventional treatments, but it didn't work. We had no choice but to secretly look for famous doctors.
But I didn’t expect that from that day on, my wife’s limbs began to rot. When we were at a loss, the Yan family sent a prescription to suppress the virus. Then they said that Mo Bei and Yan Bingbing had to get engaged, otherwise they would stop giving her the medicine and let my wife…”
Having said this, Mo Ling couldn't continue.
So that's how it is.
"You have never thought that this virus is most likely a means for the Yan family to force you. Their ultimate goal is to make Mo Bei marry Yan Bingbing." Qiao Yanmeng said.
Mo Ling's face was very ugly. This middle-aged man who was over fifty years old had always been full of vigor and vitality, but at this moment, he was filled with an indescribable decadence, as if he had suffered an unprecedented blow.
"Boss Zhan, we know Bingxia inside and out, and our two families have always been good friends. Mo Bei has told me countless times that he must marry Bingxia in the future, and I have agreed. His mother has even prepared the heirloom bracelet for Bingxia.
But there is no other way now. I can’t just sit there and watch my wife get tortured by the virus and end up breaking down bit by bit. I can’t do it!”
Mo Ling covered his face and almost cried.
Several people saw this and felt helpless.
"Why don't you let me go and take a look?" Fang Qingyi said slowly, "I'm also studying this, maybe I can find something wrong."
Mo Ling was stunned for a moment, and waved his hands hastily, "No, no, this disease is highly contagious, and it can spread if you're not careful... A maid who was previously responsible for serving my wife has also been infected and is being kept in there, but until now we can only use the medicine given by the Yan family to suppress the poison in them."
Fang Qingyi insisted: "It's okay. As long as the protective measures are in place, there is no need to worry about being infected."
Mo Ling finally agreed.
"Sister, be careful." Qiao Yanmeng was a little worried.
Fang Qingyi nodded calmly, "Don't worry, I'll be there the first time if there's any problem."
After saying that, she checked herself from head to toe, walked to the door, and had someone disinfect her thoroughly before slowly entering the room.
In recent years, I have almost been drowned in the smell of disinfectant, which is particularly pungent.
Fang Qingyi couldn't help but frown, but the moment she saw Chen Ying, her pupils suddenly shocked.
Chen Ying's arm was already badly damaged, and bloodstains on her wounds could be vaguely seen through the gauze that bandaged her, which was shocking to the sight.
And that face, originally a gentle and dignified face, but the chin has already shown traces of decay, and the most serious part is so deep that the bones are visible.
Even Fang Qingyi, who had seen all kinds of patients, was shocked by the scene before him.
The worst thing was that there was not a single piece of information in her mind that was enough for her to solve the problem at hand.
She walked out feeling very frustrated.
The guards outside disinfected her severely before letting her go.
"I'm sorry, I can't do anything for you, but if necessary, I might be able to use acupuncture to suppress the poison in Ms. Chen's body. I hope she can get better soon." Fang Qingyi said.
On the way back, everyone was in a heavy mood.
From this point of view, Mo Bei is actually right.
It would be really scary if he could ignore even his own mother.
When I got home, Bingxia was waiting for me in the living room.
"Bingxia, this child came at the wrong time, you see..."
"Sister-in-law." Bing Xia suddenly laughed at herself, tears falling. "You may not believe this, but even though I have given up on Mo Bei, I can't bear to part with this child."
Qiao Yanmeng's expression was very complicated.
She understood Bingxia's thoughts.
"But……"
"Can you let me think about it again? It's been less than three months and I still have time to think about it." Bingxia was afraid that Qiao Yanmeng would say something objection again, so she turned around and went upstairs.
As a result, Bingxia disappeared the next day.
"She may just want to be quiet for a while, she should be fine." Zhan Tingbei said.
Having said that, he still sent Li Mu out to look for him.
