"you say."
“If Wen Xue poisoned him, she shouldn’t have produced the antidote so quickly, assuming Eleven’s life wasn’t in danger,” Qiao Wanwan analyzed. “Since I’m being blamed, the longer Eleven remains unconscious, the greater my guilt becomes, doesn’t it?”
Zhan Jingting said, "Perhaps she's afraid you'll develop an antidote to save Eleven?"
“That makes sense, but I still feel like something’s off.” Qiao Wanwan couldn’t figure out what was wrong. “But the best thing is that I can suffer less during the National Day holiday.”
"Um."
Qiao Wanwan then asked, "Jingting, do you think Wen Lijing was involved in Eleven's poisoning? After all, he brought the cookies that Eleven ate."
Zhan Jingting smiled faintly, his expression enigmatic, "Wanwan, you don't need to concern yourself with this matter."
"oh......"
......
That evening, Wen Xue asked Aunt Liu to stay with Shi Yi at the hospital so she could go home and take a good shower.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Wen Lijing sitting on the sofa holding a cat.
"Big brother, you startled me!" Wen Xue forced herself to stay alert and asked, "What are you doing in my room?"
“I asked the driver, and he said you went home, so I waited for you here.”
"Did you need something from me?"
How was the National Day holiday?
"You're fine now. You can be discharged after a few days of rest."
Wen Lijing looked up at her, his unfathomable eyes filled with a hint of coldness. "You'll stop at nothing to achieve your goals, you even used me!"
Wen Xue was taken aback. "Big brother, what are you talking about?"
"Are you still pretending?" Wen Lijing gently stroked the cat nestled on his lap. "Do you think that just because Eleven ate all the cookies in one go, no one will find out that you poisoned them?"
"Brother, what nonsense are you spouting?" Wen Xueyi denied righteously, "How could I possibly poison my own son!"
Wen Lijing's eyes grew even colder. "Eleven finished the biscuits, but you didn't expect that he fed one to the pickled fish, and the cat got poisoned too!"
Wen Xue's eyes widened, and she subconsciously looked at the cat in his arms!
"It wasn't consumed in large quantities, so it wasn't fatal. I secretly took the test results to the hospital for comparison, and they're the same as the poisoning from the Eleventh Institute. What else do you have to say!"
"Big brother, please let me explain..." Wen Xue's tears welled up instantly, "I didn't mean to..."
"You didn't do it on purpose?" Wen Lijing sneered. "You always make me bring cookies for Eleven. You didn't do it the first few times because you wanted to wait until everyone was off guard!"
"Big brother, listen to me!" Wen Xue knelt down with a thud. "I didn't want this to happen either. I really had no other choice. I can't live without Eleven. I just want him back!"
"You think you can poison him just to get him back?" Wen Lijing roared. "Wen Xue, he's only three years old! What if he can't withstand your poison!"
"I consulted with them repeatedly, and I only did this after I was sure nothing would happen!" Wen Xue cried out, "Big brother, I am Eleven's mother, I am the person who loves him the most in the world, how could I really hurt him?"
Before, she would have been reluctant, but now that she knows Eleven is not her biological son, her love has turned to hate, and there's nothing she can't do, so she went to great lengths and even used Wen Lijing!
On her path to marrying Zhan Jingting, she slays anyone who gets in her way, and no one can stop her!
"Wen Xue, you keep saying you love him, but you've been the one who hurt Eleven the most! I thought hitting him was the limit, but I never expected you could do something even worse!"
"Big brother, I know I was wrong. I just want Eleven back by my side. I promise you, I will love him even more from now on!" Wen Xue pleaded, crying. "Please, big brother, please don't let this get out, or I really won't be able to get Eleven back!"
"What you've done has utterly disgraced the Wen family!" Wen Lijing said coldly. "While the Wen family may be ruthless in their actions, they would never harm their own family, let alone a three-year-old child! How dare you ask me to keep this a secret!"
"Big brother, I was really wrong, please forgive me!" Wen Xue slapped herself repeatedly across the face. "I beg you, please help me this time. As long as Shiyi can come back to my side, I promise I won't do it again!"
“You want to take Eleven back because you love him? No, if you loved him, you wouldn’t hit or hurt him. You just want to keep Zhan Jingting’s biological child by your side so you can find an opportunity to break up his marriage and marry him!” Wen Lijing directly exposed him. “As his uncle, I have to consider things from Eleven’s perspective. It’s best for him to stay in Wutong Bay, not with a mother like you who will stop at nothing.”
"Big brother, please don't!" Wen Xue crawled over and hugged Wen Lijing's leg, pleading desperately, "I really had no other choice but to resort to this. Please, for the sake of me being your own sister, help me just this once, just this once, big brother, I beg you, please..."
Before Wen Xue could finish speaking, she suddenly fainted!
"Wen Xue? Wen Xue!" Wen Lijing exclaimed in surprise, "Someone come here!"
The family doctor arrived quickly, examined Wen Xue, and reported, "Young Master, Miss fainted due to emotional distress. It's nothing serious, but Miss's mood seems a bit off lately."
Wen Lijing frowned. "Explain yourself."
The doctor said with difficulty, "She secretly asked me for sleeping pills a few days ago, saying she needed sedatives..."
"You gave it to her?"
"I dared not disobey the young lady's orders, so I gave them to her."
"Understood." Wen Lijing said carefully, "Don't let this get out. Find another reliable psychologist, and keep it a secret."
The doctor nodded. "I understand, young master, please rest assured."
"I'm going to the hospital to check on Eleven. You keep an eye on things here."
"yes."
......
With Shi Yi away, Qiao Wanwan felt a void in her heart and couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning.
"What's wrong?" A deep, pleasant voice sounded slowly in the darkness. "Can't sleep?"
"Hmm." Qiao Wanwan sighed. "I don't know if Eleven is asleep yet. Although the poison isn't fatal, his body will still feel very uncomfortable. I really should have insisted on staying at the hospital to take care of him."
"Wanwan, you're being a little too anxious about this child." Zhan Jingting hugged her. "Even if it's out of love for the child, you don't need to go to this extent."
"It's not exactly 'love me, love my dog,'" Qiao Wanwan pondered. "I feel like Eleven and I are destined for each other. I feel like there's some unseen force pulling us together... This feeling is so subtle, I can't describe it to you in words. In short, I just like him!"
"Alright." The man chuckled softly. "If Madam Zhan can't sleep, we can do something meaningful..."
