Zhan Yin dismissed it, "What big thing could happen? My parents are having a second child?"
Everyone: "......"
"I don't know the specifics. Someone from your family is coming to pick you up and telling you to go home quickly!"
Zhan Yin said arrogantly, "I'm not going back. My dad slapped me because of Zhan Xiuwen. Now that something's happened, he wants me to go back? Dream on!"
"Let's go back and take a look. It's probably still related to Zhan Xiuwen," Zhan Jingting said.
Zhan Yin thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll listen to my uncle and go back to see what's going on."
No sooner had Zhan Yin left than Jiang Dong came in to report, "Master Zhan, just as you predicted, Zhan Xiuwen has embezzled other people's money and refuses to return it. The Zhan family is in complete chaos."
Zhan Jingting smiled faintly, "I have no connection with the Zhan family anymore. Even if the Zhan family's sky falls, it has nothing to do with me."
"Yes." Jiang Dong asked, "Does Young Master Yin need any help?"
“He’s an adult. If he needs help to solve even this little thing, he’ll never amount to anything in his life. Let him handle it himself. Just keep an eye on him from the shadows and make sure Zhan Xiuwen doesn’t harm him in secret.”
"I see."
That evening, Zhan Yin returned to Wutong Bay in a huff.
Ruan Wanyi was engrossed in gossiping about the Zhan family when she quickly pulled him down to sit and asked, "How is it? What happened?"
“Little Aunt, didn’t you buy shares in the Zhan family’s collateral branch before? Naturally, that included my dad’s shares. A few days ago, you took out a loan from the bank to pay them back. Before the money was even warm, Zhan Xiuwen took it away in the name of the Alliance and gave my dad and the others a certain number of shares.”
“This is a normal procedure,” Ruan Wanyi said. “Since it’s about giving shares, Zhan Xiuwen isn’t embezzling your father’s money.”
"The operation was normal. At that time, the Hezhong Alliance was at its peak, and those branches invested without any hesitation. But who would have thought that my uncle would fight back, and with an irresistible and overwhelming counterattack? The Hezhong Alliance was clearly suppressed by my uncle and could not rise again. So my dad and the others wanted to get their money back and even thought of coming back to beg my uncle to forgive them and take them back."
Ruan Wanyi scoffed, "The worst of the worst. They betrayed us with the money Jing Ting earned for them, and now that they've realized Jing Ting is the one who can make them live a life of luxury, they're thinking of coming back and making an exception for us. I have to say, none of these people are good-looking, but they're certainly dreaming."
"Exactly, I also despise this kind of behavior, so I gave my dad a scolding."
Ruan Wanyi quickly examined his face, "He didn't hit you, did he?"
"He wanted to hit him, but he didn't dare."
"Why?"
"Because I'm the smartest person in our family now," Zhan Yin said proudly. "I've always followed my uncle and never abandoned him. When it comes to choosing sides, my dad isn't as good as me. He's too busy flattering me to dare to lay a hand on me."
Ruan Wanyi: "..."
"You're just lucky, your dad is still benefiting from your good fortune."
“Exactly.” Zhan Yin took a sip of his drink and continued, “We’ve gone off on a tangent. Let’s talk about Zhan Xiuwen. Zhan Xiuwen refuses to pay back the money. What’s worse, after the party that night, before anyone could even react, he transferred all the money out of the Hezhong Alliance account. Now the Zhan family is in an uproar, but he just won’t withdraw the money, and everyone is at a loss.”
Ruan Wanyi laughed directly, "This is really shameless. It's no different from robbery, isn't it? Zhan Xiuwen has become more and more unscrupulous in the past few years abroad."
"The others had no choice but to go to Elder Zhan. I heard that Elder Zhan was so angry that he fell ill."
Ruan Wanyi remained unmoved. "Old Zhan is a complicated person, not someone I should feel sorry for."
“My dad called me back so I could figure something out. I went to the hotel to look for Zhan Xiuwen, but I didn’t see him.”
"He knows you're there to ask for money, so why would he see you?"
"That's true. I need to think of a way to force him to return our family's money."
Ruan Wanyi suggested, "You can ask Jing Ting for help."
“No.” Zhan Yin said seriously, “I don’t want people to think that I’m currying favor with my uncle, clinging to his coattails and using him as a backer. I live in Wutong Bay because I like the atmosphere here, and I have no other purpose.”
Ruan Wanyi nodded. "Xiao Yin, I'm glad you said that. Any relationship with an ulterior motive won't last. Only a relationship that is pure enough can last."
“I think so too,” Zhan Yin instructed. “So don’t tell my uncle about this… With his abilities, he would have known long ago even if he didn’t say anything. In short, don’t tell him about helping me.”
“Okay, I promise I won’t say much, don’t worry.” Ruan Wanyi said, “If there’s anything you need my help with, just say so. We’re about the same ability, and it would be quite interesting to work together to find a way to deal with that shameless Zhan Xiuwen.”
“Alright.” Zhan Yin said with interest, “Uncle won’t get involved in this matter, but we can join forces. Let’s not talk about anything else for now, just lend me some manpower.”
"no problem."
......
As time passed, Qiao Wanwan remained asleep, just like Sleeping Beauty in a fairy tale, never waking up.
Zhan Jingting spent most of his time with her, but he didn't put down his work and moved his desk to her room.
Fortunately, although Qiao Wanwan was unconscious, her physical condition was normal, and she did not experience any further critical situations requiring resuscitation.
In the blink of an eye, three months have passed since Qiao Wanwan fell into a coma. Apart from her, Zhan Jingting is most concerned about Eleven's health.
I stayed home to recuperate during the National Day holiday, even stopping strenuous exercise and having regular check-ups.
Early in the morning, Shiyi dressed himself, came to the bedside, and kissed Qiao Wanwan's face. "Mommy, Shiyi is going to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said that if the check-up goes well, Shiyi will be fully recovered!"
It was rare for Zhan Jingting to accompany Eleven to the hospital, and Eleven was secretly happy. She held back her tears when her blood was drawn, pretending to be calm, "Daddy, I don't feel any pain."
Zhan Jingting: "It didn't hurt to begin with."
Everyone: "......"
Ruan Wanyi glared at Zhan Jingting, "Children need encouragement and praise, what kind of father are you?"
Zhan Jingting: "I am stating the facts."
"..." Ruan Wanyi was almost driven crazy by her son. "Alright, I can't explain it to you. Anyway, our Eleventh is the best!"
After having their blood drawn and undergoing various other tedious tests, the group waited for the results in the lounge.
"How is it?" Ruan Wanyi asked impatiently as the doctor came in, "Is Eleven alright?"
