Qiao Wanwan was stunned. This was Eleven's mother, Wen Xue!
Wen Xue extended her hand generously to Qiao Wanwan, "Hello, Miss Qiao, I am Wen Xue."
"Hello." Qiao Wanwan composed herself and shook hands with her. "Qiao Wanwan."
“Miss Qiao is very beautiful,” Wen Xue praised. “Jing Ting has always had excellent taste.”
"Thanks."
Wen Xue looked at Zhan Jingting and asked, "Was Eleven well-behaved? Did he cause you any trouble?"
Qiao Wanwan was stunned; this was a direct admission!
Zhan Jingting remained expressionless. "No."
"That's good. Although the child looks like you, his personality is different. He's very noisy. I was worried that he would cause you trouble, so I repeatedly told him to behave."
The man in the wheelchair glanced at her indifferently. "Aren't you going to explain yourself to me?"
“Jingting, I know I owe you an explanation.” Wen Xue glanced at her watch. “Do you have time now? Shall we find a place to sit down?”
“No,” Zhan Jingting refused directly, “I have to accompany my wife to visit a patient.”
"I'm fine," Qiao Wanwan said. "You guys talk, I can go up by myself."
"No." Zhan Jingting grasped her hand. "You can come with me if you want to. There's nothing you can't listen to."
Qiao Wanwan was inexplicably moved.
She naturally trusted Zhan Jingting, but at the same time, he also gave her a great sense of security.
Wen Xue's smile remained unchanged. "You two have such a good relationship. How about this, I'll find a place first, and you can come over when you're done."
Zhan Jingting looked at Qiao Wanwan, "It's your decision."
Qiao Wanwan thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, we should indeed invite Miss Wen to dinner."
"good."
......
Qiao Wanwan handed the soup to Cheng Zaozao and was about to leave. "Zaozao, I have something to do and have to go now. Enjoy your soup."
"Sis, it's a holiday now, are you in a hurry?"
"I have something to take care of. Zhan Jingting is waiting for me outside."
Cheng Zaozao smiled ambiguously, "So you value men over women, huh? Then you can leave."
"You dare to joke with your older sister?" Qiao Wanwan smiled and touched her face. "Be a good girl and take care of yourself. In a little over a month, you should be able to be discharged from the hospital."
"good."
Qiao Wanwan walked out of the ward and came to Zhan Jingting. "Let's go."
"No rush." Zhan Jingting smiled. "Shall I take you shopping for a bit?"
"We had an appointment with them."
"I told you, there's no rush."
Qiao Wanwan was taken by Zhan Jingting to the most upscale shopping mall in the capital. When they entered, the mall was empty, with not a single customer.
"Huh?" Qiao Wanwan asked curiously, "Is business really that bad? That shouldn't be the case..."
Jiang Dong smiled and explained, "Madam is right. This place is usually crowded, but today it's all booked out by Master Zhan."
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
"It can't be that bad, it's just a shopping trip."
"Master Zhan doesn't like being surrounded by people, so he always has to clear the area when he comes to places like this."
Qiao Wanwan: "......" Money really does allow you to be capricious!
Zhan Jingting held her hand, "Take whatever you want."
“Your mother gave me a red envelope, so I’m going to buy her a gift. In return, I also need to buy some clothes and toys for National Day.”
Zhan Jingting frowned slightly. "There's no need to buy it for him."
"Why?" Qiao Wanwan didn't understand. "It's not like we can't afford it. Besides, he's your own son. You can't skimp on his food, clothing, and other necessities."
"Wanwan, why can't you understand?"
"Okay, okay, I understand what you mean. I won't buy him clothes, but I'll buy him a toy instead, is that alright?"
"......good."
Remembering her promise to Wen Xue, Qiao Wanwan quickly bought the things and said, "Let's go."
No rush.
"Zhan Jingting, being late is very impolite."
The man reluctantly agreed, "Okay."
When the two arrived at the club, Wen Xue was looking down at her watch.
"Jingting, I was just about to call you to ask if your number has changed?"
"No."
Wen Xue smiled and said, "You're rarely late. Did something happen at the hospital?"
"No."
"That's good." Wen Xue handed over the menu. "Let's order."
Zhan Jingting quickly ordered a few dishes. Wen Xue, drinking water, asked in surprise, "Jingting, you don't eat asparagus."
“Wanwan loves to eat.”
Wen Xue: "..."
The man looked at the girl beside him, his eyes gentle, "Is there anything else you'd like to eat?"
Qiao Wanwan smiled brightly, "That's enough, let's order some of Miss Wen's favorite dishes."
Zhan Jingting handed the menu back, "I don't know what you like to eat, order for yourself, this meal is on me."
"Okay." Wen Xue added two more dishes without changing her expression. After the waiter left, she said, "Jing Ting, I'm sorry. I know I should have let you know about Eleven a long time ago, but I know you wouldn't accept him, so I could only secretly give birth to him."
Zhan Jingting tapped the rim of his glass lightly with his long, slender, and well-defined hand. "You knew I was already married, yet you still sent him to Wutong Bay. What was your purpose?"
Wen Xue seemed surprised that he would ask so directly, and her delicate and beautiful face immediately turned a little pale. "Jing Ting, a child is not an object that can be placed there and left alone. He is an individual who can think and grow. He needs to have the love of his father and mother, just like other children."
“Last semester, Eleven had already gotten into several fights at kindergarten. The psychologist said that Eleven’s lack of fatherly love would lead to his irritable personality and extreme behavior. I had no choice but to bring him back.”
“Jingting, I know you’re married, and I don’t want to disturb your life, but I can’t give up on Shiyi. So after thinking it over, I still think I should let you know about his existence and give him some fatherly love. Don’t worry, once Shiyi’s condition stabilizes, I will take him away and will definitely not disturb your life.”
Qiao Wanwan was quite moved, but the next second, she heard applause from beside her.
Qiao Wanwan turned her head in surprise and looked at Zhan Jingting with curiosity.
The man's face remained expressionless, and his voice, when he spoke, seemed to be on the same horizontal line, without the slightest fluctuation.
"You explained it very well."
Qiao Wanwan wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Zhan Jingting's words carried a hint of sarcasm.
"Wen Xue, I have to admit, you're very smart." Zhan Jingting's low, cold voice echoed in the private room. "You've completely absolved yourself of any responsibility, even portraying yourself as the victim and me as a scumbag."
"You said that Eleven lacks fatherly love. Since you don't want to disturb my peaceful life, I believe that with the Wen family's capabilities, there are plenty of ways to handle this matter. So, you keep saying you won't disturb me, but in reality you have already done so. Don't portray yourself as so noble. If you didn't have an ulterior motive, you wouldn't have given birth to him in the first place."
Qiao Wanwan was stunned. These words were undoubtedly a fatal accusation for a woman!
Wen Xue's face turned pale, and her red lips trembled uncontrollably. "Jing Ting, your words are too hurtful!"
