Zhan Jingting's pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked at Qiao Wanwan in disbelief. "Wanwan, do you know what you're saying!"
Qiao Wanwan met his gaze, their eyes locked, but the tenderness of the past was gone. "Zhan Jingting, when I loved you, I did whatever you said. But have you ever thought about what you would do if I stopped loving you because of your deception and betrayal?
“Wanwan, I knew you would be angry, but you can’t say such cruel things. Eleven is also my son. Would I want anything to happen to him?” Zhan Jingting held her shoulders. “Trust me, I will definitely find Eleven safe and sound.”
"How can you expect me to believe you! And..." Qiao Wanwan pushed him away in disgust, "Don't touch me, I find it disgusting!"
Zhan Jingting was completely stunned!
"Jingting, look at this! This is the good wife you married!" Ruan Wanyi was furious. "I told you long ago that marriage isn't just about looks. Family background and upbringing are the most important things. How can such an unreasonable woman be worthy of the position of Mrs. Zhan!"
Qiao Wanwan sneered, "As you wish, I really don't want to sit in the position of Mrs. Zhan anymore! It would be best if you could come back safely on the 11th, but if you don't, I will make you pay the price you deserve!"
After Qiao Wanwan finished speaking, she turned around and left without looking back!
"Wanwan!"
Zhan Jingting snapped out of his daze and was about to chase after her when Ruan Wanyi stopped him. "Don't chase her! She already said that, how can you be so foolish as to chase after her?"
Zhan Jingting said coldly, "Get out of the way."
"Jingting, I'm begging you, please don't worry about Qiao Wanwan for now. The most important thing right now is to find Shiyi as soon as possible!"
“Yes, Brother Jingting,” Ruan Tang also chimed in, “Sister-in-law is furious right now. If you chase after her, she’ll only get angrier. The only way to calm her down is to bring Shiyi back.”
Ruan Wanyi said angrily, "Stop calling her 'sister-in-law' all the time. She doesn't deserve to be your sister-in-law at all!"
"Auntie, you can't say that. Put yourself in her shoes. Any mother would lose her mind after losing her child. You should be more understanding of your sister-in-law," Ruan Tang earnestly advised. "Besides, Jingting loves her. For Jingting's sake, you shouldn't hold a grudge against your sister-in-law. If the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not harmonious, it will only make things difficult for Jingting. You don't want Jingting to be caught in the middle between you and your sister-in-law, right?"
Ruan Wanyi sighed, "Tangtang, you are so sensible. If Qiao Wanwan were half as sensible as you, our family wouldn't be in such a state of turmoil."
Zhan Jingting frowned. "You'd better keep those words to yourself. If you dare say them in front of Wanwan, don't blame me for being impolite."
After the man finished speaking, he strode downstairs.
Ruan Wanyi was exasperated. "Tangtang, did you see that? Jingting has really gone mad. I just don't understand why he's so devoted to protecting Qiao Wanwan!"
"Auntie, Jingting loves Qiao Wanwan. Love is irrational. Try to think more positively and don't be angry."
"How can I not be angry!" Ruan Wanyi became angrier the more she thought about it. "I was very touched when Qiao Wanwan saved Eleven, and I decided to let bygones be bygones and not hold it against her anymore. But she doesn't appreciate my kindness at all. She's so awful!"
"I knew long ago that marriages between people of unequal social standing would be fraught with problems, but unfortunately, Jingting wouldn't listen to my advice at all..."
"Aunt, it's too late to say anything more now. We just need to do our best to protect Jingting. I absolutely cannot let things like my sister-in-law hitting Jingting happen again."
"Tangtang, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that trouble. You even got slapped by Qiao Wanwan while protecting Jingting, and your face is all swollen now." Ruan Wanyi looked at Ruan Tang with heartache. "Don't worry, once we find him in November, I'll settle the score with Qiao Wanwan and make sure you get justice!"
Ruan Tang said obediently, "Auntie, as long as our family is harmonious and my sister-in-law can love Brother Jingting well, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little grievance."
"You're such a good girl and so sensible. It's no wonder your aunt loves you so much..."
......
When Zhan Jingting chased after her downstairs, Qiao Wanwan had already left.
“Young Master,” Zheng Ma stepped forward and reported nervously, “The young mistress was resolute and left with the old master. No matter how I tried to persuade her, it was no use.”
Zhan Jingting closed his eyes briefly. "That's just her personality; once she's made up her mind, nothing can change it. I just didn't expect her to be this angry..."
Zheng Ma sighed, "The young master was brought back by the madam with her life, so naturally she can't bear to see him suffer any harm. Young master, you should understand her. Besides, you should know the madam well. Before doing this, you should have discussed it with her."
"How can we discuss this?" Zhan Jingting said in a deep voice. "Is this something we can discuss? If I were to speak up, would she agree?"
Zheng's mother: "......"
"Young Master, please forgive me for saying something I shouldn't have, but since you knew the young mistress wouldn't agree, you shouldn't have done it..."
“If we don’t do it, we’ll find even less Jiang Cheng. Without finding Jiang Cheng, we won’t find the other child, and Wanwan will live in constant worry and anxiety!” Zhan Jingting’s face was grim. “I was prepared for her to be angry, but I felt that as long as we could find the child, it would be worth it even if she was angry. I never expected things to develop into the worst possible outcome…”
At that time, Qiao Wanwan and the Ghost Hand Doctor were sitting in a taxi.
The quack doctor had a lot to say, but with the driver present, it wasn't convenient to say it, so he had to hold it in.
The taxi stopped in front of a five-star hotel. After the two got out, Qiao Wanwan said, "Master, I'm not in the mood to look for a house right now. We'll have to stay in a hotel for now."
"It doesn't matter where we live, the most urgent thing right now is to find Shiyi."
"Um."
Qiao Wanwan booked two rooms and checked in quickly.
She didn't even have time to rest; she took out her laptop and continued searching for clues.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door, which brought Qiao Wanwan back to her senses, and she got up to open the door.
Standing outside the door was Wen Lijing.
"How did you get here?" Qiao Wanwan asked curiously. "To be precise, how did you know I was here?"
"What a coincidence, this hotel is under my name."
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?
Qiao Wanwan then realized what was happening and said, "Please come in."
She made Wen Lijing a cup of tea and asked, "Wasn't the Wen Group bankrupt? Why do you still have businesses under your name?"
“The hotel isn’t registered in my name; it’s a private business I run, so it’s not considered part of the Wen Group,” Wen Lijing explained. “Although I have a job, I also need something to rely on.”
Qiao Wanwan nodded. "You're right. As long as a person is alive, no matter what time it is, they must have something to rely on and cannot depend on anyone."
"Wanwan, it's rare to see you so down." Wen Lijing looked worried. "If it's just because of Eleven's disappearance, you shouldn't be saying things like that. Has something else happened?"
