"What did you say?" Xiang Yang walked in. "Who's Zhan Ye hooking up with?"
"Don't tell me you don't know who she is!" A mocking smile flashed in Lin Mo's eyes. "Or are you trying to tell us that you humbled yourself to seduce the Meng family's daughter for Wanwan's sake!"
Zhan Jingting's eyes darkened. "Lin Mo, are you courting death?"
"What, feeling guilty?" Lin Mo's smile grew even colder. "If you've taken a liking to Miss Meng, then you'd better let Wanwan go as soon as possible. Don't take advantage of her unconscious state to cheat on her!"
Zhan Jingting's face turned cold in an instant, and a dark aura seemed to surround him, causing the temperature in the air to drop several degrees!
"Lin Mo, that's enough. He's not that kind of person," Xiang Yang said. "You should go out now and not argue in front of the boss."
Lin Mo glanced at Zhan Jingting for a moment, then quickly left.
Xiang Yang went to close the door before returning and asking, "What's the deal with the Meng family's daughter that Lin Mo mentioned?"
Zhan Jingting leaned back on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest. "Didn't you just say I wasn't that kind of person?"
"I believe you, but you should also know how attractive you are to girls. The boss is currently unconscious, so of course I have to keep an eye on you to prevent you from getting into trouble with other women."
"You don't need to worry, I don't know any Meng family heiress at all."
Xiang Yang nodded and then asked, "Lin Mo just said that you not only didn't ask the Meng family for medicine to save the eldest son, but you also had a very good attitude in helping the father and son reconcile. Is that true?"
Zhan Jingting smiled slightly, "It seems that Lin Mo contacted you on his way here."
“Yes,” Xiang Yang said. “He called me, but he didn’t mention anything about the Meng family’s daughter on the phone.”
"Did he tell you that he followed me to the teahouse, overheard my conversation with Meng Xiaokun, and then went directly to the Meng family to complain?"
“Some say he sounded helpless, but I certainly don’t accept it. Anyone or anything that hinders the treatment of our boss is wrong to me,” Xiang Yang said. “However, you also said yesterday that Meng Xiaokun is not trustworthy.”
"Yes." Zhan Jingting rubbed his temples and said calmly, "Do you think I didn't know Lin Mo was following me?"
Xiang Yang frowned. "What do you mean? You know Lin Mo was following you last night?"
"Of course, his intentions are as clear as day, it's all for Wanwan." Zhan Jingting sneered, "I know he will stop me from making a deal with Meng Xiaokun so that he can go and ask for medicine to save Wanwan himself."
"Since I'm not really going to do business with Meng Xiaokun, I might as well use his mouth to let the Meng family know."
Xiang Yang was shocked, "Is everything under your control?"
Zhan Jingting did not answer, but his silence was tacit agreement.
He continued, "As for why I was nice to the Meng family and didn't force them to hand over the medicine, it's because I had already investigated the Meng family and knew that Old Master Meng was responsive to gentle persuasion but not force."
"Even though Meng Xiaokun is such a scoundrel, he wasn't kicked out of the house because he was spoiled by his father since he was a child. His father was disappointed in him, but he had no choice but to continue to support this good-for-nothing son. Family ties are his weakness!"
"So everything was part of your plan. You let Lin Mo overhear your conversation with Meng Xiaokun and made him inform on you. Even the Meng family coming to find you was part of your plan. That's why you asked me if anyone from the Meng family had come as soon as you woke up." Xiang Yang's eyes widened. "Then every word you said at the Meng family was purposeful. You wanted Old Master Meng to think that you could empathize with him!"
Zhan Jingting remained noncommittal. "Old Master Meng neither dares to presume to associate with me nor dares to provoke me, so he doesn't want to deal with me. If you want to get that medicine, you must first gain his approval as a person."
Xiang Yang was horrified upon reflection, "You only arrived in Suzhou yesterday, and you were unconscious and had a seizure last night, how could you still have everything under your control..."
“I never do anything unprepared. From the day Lin Mo told me that the Meng family might be able to cure Wanwan, I started secretly investigating the Meng family. Now I know much more about the Meng family than Lin Mo does…”
......
After leaving the hotel, Lin Mo went to the Meng family's house again.
"Xiao Mo, what brings you here?" He was greeted by Meng Xiaogan.
"Uncle Meng, I'm here to see Grandpa Meng."
Meng Xiaogan was taken aback.
Lin Mo quickly noticed, "Uncle Meng, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Meng Xiao said with a dry laugh. "Your Grandpa Meng seems to have guessed you would come. He specifically asked me to tell you that his blood pressure is a bit high and he needs to rest. He can't give you what you want."
Lin Mo: "......"
"Grandpa Meng knows why I'm here." Lin Mo smiled self-deprecatingly. "That's right, he's seen more than I've ever had, how could he not guess what I'm thinking?"
“Xiao Mo, my dad said you’re a good kid, but you’re a bit too stubborn about some things. He asked me to tell you not to stand against Zhan Jingting, because you can’t beat him.”
"I only want to save Wanwan."
Meng Xiao sighed. "If you hadn't come to the Meng family this morning and told us everything, Zhan Jingting might have already gotten the medicine. You want to save her, but you only want to save her yourself, am I right?"
Lin Mo slowly clenched his fists, not answering the question, but saying, "I hope the Meng family can do me this favor, whatever the conditions, as long as it's within my power."
"Xiao Mo, you're too stubborn." Meng Xiao patted his shoulder dryly. "If my dad had anything in mind, he would have made a deal with Zhan Jingting long ago, wouldn't he?"
"Zhan Jingting already knows about this medicine. Does Grandpa Meng really think that Zhan Jingting will let this go?"
