After thinking carefully for a moment, Zheng Ma nodded and said, "It seems so. During the two hours that Madam spent with the young master, she stayed downstairs and in the garden and did not come upstairs."
Zhan Jingting's brows furrowed even more. "I understand. You may leave."
"yes."
In the room, Eleven happily hugged Qiao Wanwan's neck, "Wanwan, you're finally sleeping with me! I love sleeping with you the most."
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
"Eleven, you can't say things like that to other girls, or you'll get beaten up."
"Why? I'm so cute, I won't get beaten up."
Qiao Wanwan couldn't put it down. "Yes, Eleven is the cutest."
She quietly took Eleven's hand and discreetly took his pulse.
There was nothing abnormal about the pulse; a blood test was necessary to find out what poison Wenru had used.
No matter what, she absolutely cannot let anything happen to Eleven!
Qiao Wanwan accompanied Shiyi to bed. Perhaps because she was at home, her mind easily cleared up, and her body relaxed as well. She closed her eyes and quickly drifted off to sleep.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she was startled awake by a muffled clap of thunder. She opened her eyes abruptly and realized that the sky outside was overcast and it was almost dark.
Qiao Wanwan took out her phone and checked the time; it was already past five o'clock.
Looking at Eleven, who was still fast asleep nestled in her arms, she felt her heart melt.
But no matter how reluctant she was, she had to leave.
Qiao Wanwan kissed Shiyi's forehead, reluctantly got up, and when she opened the door to go out, she saw Zhan Jingting coming out of the room opposite.
"Is Miss Qiao leaving?"
"yes."
"The weather outside is bad, I'll take you there."
"No need," Qiao Wanwan said. "Mr. Zhan, farewell."
She suppressed her reluctance, turned around and went downstairs, driving alone to Wenru's villa.
The rain was pouring down, and she sat in the car waiting. Less than half an hour later, Wenru returned.
Qiao Wanwan got out of the car with an umbrella, followed Wen Ru into the house and upstairs to the study.
Despite having an umbrella, she was still covered in moisture, and her hands were icy cold.
"Sit down." Wen Ru politely poured her a cup of hot water. "Parents always worry about their children. If it weren't for the National Day holiday, you probably wouldn't have come all this way, would you?"
"What exactly do you want?" Qiao Wanwan asked, suppressing her hatred. "You want to take revenge on the Wen family. Although the Zhan family also hindered your love back then, you said that the younger generation doesn't know about this. Wen Lijing and Wen Lixuan are innocent, but isn't Jing Ting innocent as well?"
"But Zhan Jingting is the head of the Zhan family. If I want to destroy the Zhan family, I must destroy him first. Don't you understand this logic?"
"Wenru, stop now. Do you really think revenge will make you happy? I believe your heart will only become emptier and emptier because you will feel guilty."
"Furthermore, I believe that Jingting's second uncle loves Jingting very much. Jingting and Eleven are both relatives of his by blood. Do you think he would want to see you hurting his relatives like this in heaven?"
Wen Ru was startled!
Qiao Wanwan continued, "You two are a pair of star-crossed lovers who have suffered so much. Can't you be a little more forgiving and kind? Don't make me and Jingting become like you."
"Jingting, like Second Uncle, won't live past thirty. I only have a few years left to be with him. Right now, am I not just like you back then, determined to stay by Second Uncle's side?"
"So I beg you, let us go, let poor Eleven go. He's only four years old and already has a genetic disease, which is already so pitiful. If you and your second uncle had children, would you have the heart to let them suffer like this?"
Wen Ru closed her eyes in anguish, tears streaming down her face.
Qiao Wanwan continued, "You are the woman Second Uncle loves. Although you are not married, you are already his wife. Otherwise, he would not have died young because of losing you. I am Jing Ting's wife. According to seniority, we should call you Second Aunt."
"Second Aunt, I understand how you feel very much, but I believe that Second Uncle in heaven would not want you to be so unhappy. You should let go of hatred and resentment and make yourself feel comfortable and at ease. You two are destined to be apart in this life, but I believe that you will be able to continue your relationship in the next life. In the next life, no one can separate you."
Wen Ru slowly opened her eyes, tears falling like broken pearls. "Qiao Wanwan, you're amazing. Indeed, women understand women best. You know where my softest spot is."
Wen Ru raised her hand, wiped away the tears on her face, and smiled, saying, "I admit, what you just said really made me reflect and touched me. If someone had said these words to me back then, I might not have gone down this path. But what a pity, after the man I loved most died, how did the Wen family treat me? They actually forced me into an arranged marriage!"
Wen Ru's tone gradually became more intense, and the smile on her face faded, replaced by boundless hatred. "So now, it's all too late. Even if he's watching from heaven and doesn't want me to end up like this, I have no way back."
"I'm destined to live a life that's neither human nor ghost, so I must take revenge. I've already destroyed the Wen family, and next up is the Zhan family. Everyone who has wronged us will not escape!"
"You're right, Jing Ting is innocent, Eleven is innocent, but it's not my fault. They should blame themselves for being born into the wrong family, the Zhan family!"
Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes briefly. "What exactly do you want in order to spare my child?"
"Don't worry, the poison I gave you and your son was carefully prepared by your master. Its most distinctive feature is that there is no pain when you are poisoned, so correspondingly, you have no way to cure it." Wen Ru lit a cigarette for herself. "Qiao Wanwan, you will never be able to find your master, so in this world, only I have the antidote. As long as you obey me, I will let Eleven go."
What do you want from me?
Wen Ru calmly exhaled a smoke ring, "I want you to marry Li Jing!"
"What did you say?" Qiao Wanwan almost thought she had misheard. "I'm going to marry Wen Lijing? Are you crazy?"
"With your intelligence, how could you not figure out my purpose?"
After thinking about it for a moment, Qiao Wanwan quickly made the connection: "If I marry Wen Lijing, Jing Ting will naturally not agree. Completely destroying the Wen family and the Wen Group would be the least of his worries. Given his personality, he might even kill someone."
"That's right. If Zhan Jingting were to kill someone, wouldn't things be much easier? Even if he didn't kill Li Jing, he himself would be living a life worse than death. Just thinking about this drama makes me excited; I can't wait to see it..."
