"I don't bother dealing with someone like Wen Xue." Zhan Jingting, who hadn't spoken until now, finally spoke up. "This matter is up to Wanwan to decide."
Wen Lijing looked at Qiao Wanwan, "Wanwan?"
Qiao Wanwan pondered for a moment and said, "Lijing, I am very grateful to you for putting family aside for the greater good in this matter concerning Wenru, so it is impossible for me not to consider your feelings."
“Wen Xue wants to kill me and Eleven. I hope she can face legal punishment, but since you don’t want her to go to jail, then send her to a mental hospital. Whether she’s really stupid or pretending, this is the best place for her.”
"How stupid. She should go for treatment. If she's going to pretend to be stupid, then I'll grant her wish and treat her as mentally ill."
Wen Lijing wanted to say something, but found himself powerless to refute it.
Qiao Wanwan has clearly already made concessions. Given Zhan Jingting's way of doing things, Wen Xue has no chance of surviving!
"Wanwan, thank you."
Qiao Wanwan didn't say anything. "Now that this matter has been resolved, it's none of my business. You guys chat, I'm going to see my master."
After Qiao Wanwan left, Wen Lijing spoke up, "Jingting, I want to explain to you about the time I rushed out to shield Wanwan from the gun. It happened so suddenly that day. I saw my aunt pointing a gun at Wanwan, and I knew that if anything happened to Wanwan, the Wen family would be doomed. That's why I stood up. I hope you don't misunderstand."
"Did I say I misunderstood?" Zhan Jingting said calmly. "Even if the gun was fake, and you were hit by a real bullet, does that mean you love Wanwan more than I do?"
Wen Lijing's face turned pale. "Jingting, what are you saying? How could the word 'love' be involved between Wanwan and me?"
"That settles it then?" Zhan Jingting looked at him expressionlessly. "Zhan Yin often puts his arm around Wanwan's shoulder, but he never explains it to me. He has nothing to hide, so he doesn't need to explain."
Wen Lijing frowned. "You're wrong about what you're saying. I'm not feeling guilty, but there's no comparison between me and Zhan Yin. He's your nephew. Even if he and Wanwan are arm in arm, it's still family. There's no need for explanation."
"Alright, if we keep going, it'll only make things worse," Zhan Jingting said coldly. "I haven't taken this to heart. But since Wanwan told you the truth before, you should have told me immediately."
"Wanwan told me not to tell you. She said Wenru is very cunning and cautious. Since Wenru doesn't want you to know, you have to do as she says. Otherwise, if you're not careful, Wenru isn't afraid to die with you."
Zhan Jingting knew perfectly well what Qiao Wanwan was thinking, but he still felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
"Let's put an end to everything. I won't make things difficult for you two brothers anymore. From now on, go your separate ways and don't need to cross paths with each other."
Wen Lijing nodded. "I understand. Goodbye."
......
Qiao Wanwan went downstairs and found the Ghost Hand Doctor in the garden where medicinal herbs were grown.
"Master, didn't you prove me wrong? Didn't you say you didn't believe anyone would grow herbs by hand these days?"
The Ghostly Doctor laughed heartily, "You were indeed proven wrong. I feel a special connection to these medicinal herbs as soon as I touch them."
"I'm relieved that Master has found something he enjoys doing. He can't keep saying he wants to leave here so easily anymore."
The Ghostly Healer looked at him and asked, "Little girl, why are you so kind to me?"
“You are my master. You saved my life. I have always regarded you as my own father.”
The Ghost Hand Doctor nodded. "I can see that you are a good child; your eyes are pure."
“Master, you are also a good person. You have always taught me that our duty is to heal the sick and save lives. Although I don’t know what has happened to you in the past few years, I believe that your character will not change.”
"I also really want to remember everything. I heard that only I can cure the poison that you and Eleven were poisoned by, is that right?"
Qiao Wanwan nodded. "I guess so. You concocted the poison; it was very complicated."
"How could I possibly prepare poison for an evil person..."
“Master, you must have been forced to do it, so there’s no need to blame yourself.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than Jiang Dong arrived. "Madam, so you're here. I have some good news to tell you."
"What good news?"
“We searched Wen Ru’s residence and office and found some things.” Jiang Dong handed over a box. “Take a look, is this what you’re looking for?”
Qiao Wanwan took it; it was indeed medicine inside.
She took it out and smelled it. "I can't be sure yet; I need to get it checked first."
"good."
Qiao Wanwan didn't delay and studied the medicine overnight. She even drew her own blood to conduct experiments and confirmed that it was a temporary antidote.
She hurriedly picked up another pill, preparing to give it to Eleven.
"No!" Zhan Jingting grabbed her wrist. "Two pills. You used one for the experiment, and you gave the remaining one to Eleven. What are you going to do with yourself?"
"I'm fine."
"You still say you're fine! Do you think I don't know that the last time you fainted on set and ended up in the hospital, it was because you didn't take the antidote? I absolutely won't allow you to be in danger."
Qiao Wanwan's eyes stung and stung. "Jingting, I know you feel sorry for me, but what will happen to Eleven if I take this medicine? He's too young to handle it. I'm different; I'm an adult, and I can handle it better than him."
"And the consequences aren't as serious as you think. Last time, I deliberately lost control and made myself faint because only by letting Wenru lower her guard could I have a chance to poison her. This time is different. I can study it while trying to use the medicine on myself."
"What if you can't figure it out in a short time, or what if you can't bear the consequences of not having an antidote?"
Qiao Wanwan looked at him firmly, "Even so, I will give the antidote to Eleven."
