Qiao Wanwan nodded. "I do understand, and I support your dream, Lixuan. You will definitely be a great director."
"But without you, my path to becoming a director will have to slow down."
"I've discussed it with Jingting, and I'll go back and finish filming the movie."
Wen Lixuan was overjoyed, "Really?"
"You saved my life, and this is the only way I can repay you."
"Qiaoqiao, thank you."
"You are welcome."
Wen Lixuan released her shoulder and continued walking forward, his steps becoming much lighter.
"By the way, my aunt... Wen Ru has already been cremated."
“I heard it from Jiang Dong,” Qiao Wanwan said. “Let’s keep her ashes for now, don’t rush to bury her.”
"Why?" Wen Lixuan asked curiously. "Although she is a sinner of the Wen family, my brother and I have discussed it. In the end, she was also a pitiful person. Now that she is dead, we can't bear to disturb her ashes. We plan to find a cemetery to give her a proper burial, but we will not hold a funeral."
"What she longed for before she died was to be buried with Jingting's second uncle," Qiao Wanwan reminded her.
"How could Jingting possibly agree to that? We didn't have any expectations."
“Jing Ting hasn’t said anything yet, but I want to confirm something first before making this decision.”
"What are you confirming?"
"You don't need to ask, just do as I say."
"That's easy, just put her ashes in her villa first."
"Um."
Qiao Wanwan wanted to verify what Wen Ru said before she died. If Eleven really had a twin brother, it meant that Wen Ru was not lying. Then she would naturally fulfill her promise and let her be buried with Uncle Zhan.
"Qiaoqiao, my brother took Wen Xue to the hospital for a checkup to see if she really is crazy."
Wen Lixuan's words interrupted Qiao Wanwan's thoughts.
“Wen Xue is faking it,” Qiao Wanwan said firmly. “Even if the hospital reports that she’s truly insane, I won’t let her go. Killing Wen Ru is tantamount to taking my life and Eleven’s life!”
“Qiaoqiao, don’t get agitated. I’m different from my brother. I don’t have any feelings for Wen Xue, so I don’t mind if Wen Xue pays the price for what she did,” Wen Lixuan explained. “But my brother is different. He’s the eldest son, and an elder brother is like a father to his children, so he has more to consider.”
“I can’t understand him in this matter. If he had been selfish to this extent from the beginning, I would have made sure he was punished by law, because it is a danger to society for people like him to go unpunished.”
Wen Lixuan nodded, "Qiaoqiao, don't worry. With your firm attitude, Jing Ting will naturally not back down. The Wen family is no match for the Zhan family right now, and my brother will most likely be unable to protect Wen Xue."
The phone suddenly rang, and Qiao Wanwan answered it, "What's wrong?"
"Aren't you coming back yet?"
"I need to talk to Lixuan about something, I'll be right back."
"Um."
After Qiao Wanwan hung up the phone, Wen Lixuan smiled and asked, "Is Jingting jealous?"
“We’ve got nothing between us, why would I be jealous?” Qiao Wanwan smiled. “Come to my place for lunch.”
"No, since you've decided to continue filming, I need to hurry back to the set to make arrangements."
"Yes, what I mean is to finish filming as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare now."
"Um."
......
When Qiao Wanwan returned to Wutong Bay, the Ghost Hand Doctor was playing video games while holding Eleven.
"Mommy, you're back!" Eleven's eyes crinkled with laughter when she saw her.
"Mmm." Qiao Wanwan stepped forward and patted his head. "You can't play for too long, it's lunchtime soon."
"Okay."
The Ghost Hand Doctor coughed awkwardly and asked, "How much longer do I have to stay here?"
“Master, do you want to leave here?” Qiao Wanwan sat down. “I know you’re not used to life here, but you’ll get used to it eventually. You’ve been locked up for the past few years and must have suffered a lot. I don’t want you to suffer anymore.”
"But I feel very uncomfortable here, I don't belong at all."
Qiao Wanwan comforted him, "Master, Wutong Bay is very big. Do whatever you like... Or have you forgotten what you like to do?"
"...I have indeed forgotten."
Qiao Wanwan chuckled, "That's easy. You love growing herbs, so how about this: I'll have Aunt Zheng arrange a plot of land for you to grow herbs, so you can get a feel for it, okay?"
The quack doctor was skeptical. "I like growing herbs? In this day and age, there are still people who grow herbs themselves? I don't believe it."
Qiao Wanwan laughed out loud, "Okay, let's give it a try, just don't slap me in the face!"
After lunch, Qiao Wanwan took Shiyi to change into their field gear. The two of them wore rain boots and carried hoes, looking quite imposing.
"Master, look, these are the medicinal herbs I had someone purchase. They can be transplanted directly. Let's begin."
The legendary healer stepped forward and examined it. "This is... Pinellia ternata?"
Qiao Wanwan was taken aback. "Master, you actually know him!"
"Am I right?"
"Hmm! Take a look at this!"
"This is... Atractylodes macrocephala?"
"Yes! What about this one?"
"Isatis root?"
"Master, you're right!" Qiao Wanwan said excitedly, "These things are engraved in your mind, so you haven't forgotten them!"
Qiao Wanwan took out her phone and showed a photo. "Master, look at this woman. She asked you to make poison before. Do you remember her?"
The Ghostly Doctor examined him carefully and shook his head. "I only saw this person that night."
