"You're so brave. You're willing to risk your life to protect the man you love. Qiao Wanwan, to be honest, I really admire you because I think we're the same kind of people." Wen Ru admired her manicure. "It's just a pity that you're on the opposite side of me. We can never be close friends in this lifetime."
"My master would never help you as an accomplice to evil. Now that I'm about to die, tell me, where is he?"
“Who said you were going to die?” Wen Ru said. “I told you, you are Zhan Jingting’s weakness, and I won’t let you die.”
"I already said, I won't let you succeed."
Wen Ru smiled calmly, "You're not afraid of death, are you not afraid of dying on Eleven?"
"Eleven?" Qiao Wanwan frowned, but quickly realized, "Yes, you hate the Zhan family and the Wen family so much, and Eleven is the child of Jing Ting and Wen Xuesheng, of course you won't keep him."
Qiao Wanwan twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "I do like Eleven very much, but for Jing Ting's sake, even Eleven cannot become a tool for you to threaten me."
"Is that so?" Wen Ru smiled faintly. "Do you know why Wen Xue was so eager to kill you back then? She even prepared a bomb without thinking, because you wanted to draw her blood to treat Eleven."
"Is there a problem with drawing Wen Xue's blood to treat Eleven?" Qiao Wanwan didn't understand. "Is she trying to kill me just because of this?"
"Qiao Wanwan, you're supposed to be smart, but you've gone stupid again so quickly. Haven't you ever considered that Wen Xue isn't Eleven's biological mother at all?"
Qiao Wanwan looked shocked. "What happened?"
"You don't need to know what happened. All you need to know is who Eleven's biological mother is."
This matter concerns Eleven's treatment, and she must find out the truth.
"Who is it?" Qiao Wanwan pressed.
Wen Ru smiled and said, "It's you."
Qiao Wanwan was taken aback, then suddenly smiled, "I was poisoned, but my brain isn't damaged. Do you think I would believe such nonsense?"
“I know you won’t believe it, but it’s the truth.” Wen Ru took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket, lit them, and slowly smoked them. “Actually, this matter could have been easily discussed, but you were too insecure and wouldn’t bring it up in front of Zhan Jingting. So you never knew that the two of you were together that night.”
Qiao Wanwan's fingertips trembled. "How could this be... how could Eleven be my and Jingting's child..."
"Your eighteenth birthday was held at the Bosen Hotel. That night, Zhan Jingting was also at the Bosen Hotel. Wen Xue drugged him, and Qiao Yuqi drugged you. But by some twist of fate, you ended up living with Zhan Jingting."
"Impossible..." Qiao Wanwan felt her mind was in complete chaos, unable to sort out her thoughts. "How could such a thing happen?"
"This is your destiny, isn't it? You are destined to be together, from beginning to end."
Qiao Wanwan still refused to believe it, "You don't need to make up stories to fool me, I won't believe it!"
"Facts are facts. If you don't believe me, you can get a paternity test."
"If you're not going to let me go, how can I get a paternity test?"
"Who said I'm not going to let you go?" Wen Ru exhaled a smoke ring and chuckled. "I might as well tell you that I not only poisoned you, but also Eleven. Go get a paternity test first to confirm this fact, and then come find me. Remember, you are still Qiao Yi, not Qiao Wanwan. If you don't do as I say, you and Eleven will both die."
"Wen Ru, you're overthinking it." Qiao Wanwan took out the necklace around her neck, which had a diamond the size of a pigeon egg on it. "See this? This is a listening device that Wen Lixuan secretly installed on me. He's monitoring my every move at all times. Our conversation just now was recorded in real time on his computer."
Wen Ru frowned. "He's spying on you?"
“Otherwise, why do you think I couldn’t secretly reveal my identity to Jing Ting after I’ve returned to the capital? Why did I have to continue pretending to have amnesia? And why couldn’t I even save Eleven when he had an attack?” Qiao Wanwan leaned wearily against the windowsill. “Your Wen family members are indeed not to be trifled with.”
"What if I told you that the signal is blocked in my study and no device will work?" Wen Ru stubbed out her cigarette in the ashtray. "Our conversation just now couldn't have been recorded by him, so just do as I say. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll give you the antidote."
Just as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang.
While Wen Ru got up and left, Qiao Wanwan took out her phone and checked it. Just as she said, there was no signal in the study!
A short while later, Wen Ru returned and took a pill from the drawer, handing it to Qiao Wanwan. "Zhan Jingting has come to see you. Take this pill, and your complexion will temporarily recover, giving you time to verify whether Eleven is indeed your child with him. Remember what I said: you are still Qiao Yi now, otherwise, Eleven will surely die."
Qiao Wanwan didn't hesitate for long and took the medicine directly. Her discomfort was indeed relieved a lot.
She paused for a moment, then followed Wen Ru downstairs.
"Jingting, Miss Qiao has arrived."
In the living room, the man in the wheelchair turned his head and looked over, asking in a calm voice, "Miss Qiao, have you finished eating?"
Qiao Wanwan smiled. "Mr. Zhan, is there something you need?"
"Have you forgotten our agreement?"
"No, I'll go find Shiyi when I'm done with what I'm doing here."
"We've been eating for long enough, let's go."
After Zhan Jingting finished speaking, he left immediately.
Qiao Wanwan followed, got into the car, leaned back in the seat, and closed her eyes wearily.
"What's wrong?" A deep, gentle voice came from beside me. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Qiao Wanwan suppressed the bitterness in her heart and replied, "It's nothing."
"What have you and Wen Ru been talking about for so long? Wen Lijing and the others have all left and you're still talking."
Qiao Wanwan slowly opened her eyes and turned to look at him. "You were following me?"
"I'm just keeping an eye on the Wen family."
Naturally, he was following her, so when he found out she had been inside for a long time, he went to knock on the door.
Qiao Wanwan knew exactly what was going on, but she didn't expose it.
Her mind was in complete chaos, and she couldn't think straight at all. The only thing she wanted to do was to confirm what Wen Ru had said!
The two seemed preoccupied with their own thoughts and didn't speak much along the way.
The car stopped at Wutong Bay, and Qiao Wanwan immediately got out and went inside.
"Sister Wanwan!" Eleven ran up with her short legs. "You're finally here!"
Qiao Wanwan squatted down and cupped his face in her hands to examine him closely.
He lost a lot of weight that year, and didn't grow much taller. His facial features were almost identical to Zhan Jingting's.
I don't know if it's just Qiao Wanwan's imagination, but she really can't see any trace of Wen Xue in Shiyi!
Could this really be her child?
Is it her child with Zhan Jingting?
