Just as Qiao Wanwan was about to hear clearly, her phone suddenly rang.
Inside the room, Zhan Jingting and the Ghost Hand Doctor exchanged a glance, both of them becoming tense!
Qiao Wanwan answered the phone and walked in through the door.
The call was from Cheng Zaozao, saying she wouldn't be home for dinner that night.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Wanwan looked at Zhan Jingting and asked, "What were you two talking about? I think I heard you say something about hopes being dashed?"
Zhan Jingting looked at her gently, "What else did you hear?"
"there is none left."
Zhan Jingting secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "It's rare for me to complain to the old man, and you overheard me. I was referring to the fact that my hopes were dashed, which was about watching the third son grow up."
"Hasn't this matter been resolved yet?" Qiao Wanwan said with a smile. "Then how about this, you'll be in charge of putting the third brother to sleep tonight, so you can make up for your previous regrets, okay?"
"good."
"Is the medicine bitter?"
"Good medicine tastes bitter, but it has troubled the old man."
“My master loves me the most, so he must have gone to great lengths to help you recover soon so that we can grow old together.”
Zhan Jingting suppressed the turmoil in his heart and replied, "Yes."
"Then you must not let your master down."
"......good."
The phone rang again; it was Jiang Dong calling to report on matters concerning the group.
Qiao Wanwan didn't stay in the master bedroom for long. She got up and left while answering a phone call to handle her work.
Once the door was closed, Zhan Jingting could no longer control himself and painfully closed his eyes.
The legendary healer patted Zhan Jingting on the shoulder and sighed silently...
When Qiao Wanwan returned to the study, Jiang Dong was already waiting at the door.
He followed Qiao Wanwan inside, and after closing the door, he reported, "Madam, as you instructed, we investigated the existing enterprises in the capital, as well as those that have recently moved in, and found nothing unusual."
Qiao Wanwan sat down in the executive chair. "But the other party has such a large sum of money in their hands, they can't just sit around and do nothing."
"Madam, perhaps they will use the money to invest in other areas?"
Qiao Wanwan shook her head. "You may have forgotten that the Emperor's View real estate project was given to the Emperor's Group. Such a large project, and they've handled it all very smoothly. I asked Zhan Xiuwen, and all the work was arranged by the people behind him. In other words, this person is fully capable of managing this project. What does that mean?"
Jiang Dong suddenly realized, "This shows that this person is capable, and quite capable at that!"
“Yes, our opponents are quite capable,” Qiao Wanwan said. “That’s why I asked you to investigate whether there are any newly emerging companies.”
"Madam, as of now, there isn't."
"Perhaps at this critical juncture, he really won't make any rash moves, since it would be too easy to expose himself. In any case, you should pay more attention from now on."
"Yes, Madam, please rest assured."
"Don't tell Jingting about these things," Qiao Wanwan instructed. "What he needs most right now is to rest and recuperate. I don't want him to be troubled by these things."
Jiang Dong's nose felt sore.
They were so deeply in love with each other that they always thought of each other's needs.
God is so unfair, making two people who love each other so much experience life and death separations time and time again!
"Jiangdong?" Qiao Wanwan noticed he was lost in thought and asked, "What's wrong? You've seemed so listless these past few days."
"It's nothing." Jiang Dong quickly pulled himself back from his wandering thoughts. "Don't worry, Madam, I'm fine."
"Are you still upset because I didn't tell you about Xiao Jiu last time?" Qiao Wanwan asked.
Jiang Dong was a little confused. "Did Master Zhan say something to you?"
"No," Qiao Wanwan smiled. "You've been incredibly loyal to me and Jingting, but I've held back with you. If I were you, I'd be sad too, and might even feel that my sacrifices weren't worth it..."
"Madam, that's not what I thought!" Jiang Dong hurriedly explained, "My life was given to me by Master Zhan. Without him, I wouldn't exist. Even if he wanted my life, I would never hesitate. How could I feel that my sacrifice wasn't worthwhile?"
"Thank you," Qiao Wanwan said with a smile, "but I should still make it clear to you that I didn't tell you the news not because I didn't trust you, but because I thought it was better to be cautious. I hope you can understand."
“I understand,” Jiang Dong said. “Madam, rest assured, no matter what happens, my life belongs to Master Zhan and to you. I will always go through fire and water for you.”
"Thank you, but I hope there will never be a time when I need to go through fire and water."
"Yes, I also hope everyone stays safe and sound, and that no more accidents happen..."
......
The legendary healer lived up to his reputation; the improved medicine not only reduced the frequency of Zhan Jingting's attacks, but also made them less painful.
Originally, whenever he had an attack, Zhan Jingting would lock himself in the bathroom for a long time.
To avoid Qiao Wanwan noticing his unusual behavior, he pretended to be taking a bath.
Once, when Qiao Wanwan came to see him, she found the bathroom door locked from the inside and casually asked him about it.
"What's wrong? You never used to lock the door."
He made up an excuse: "I've gotten used to being away from home for so long."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Wanwan's eyes reddened again.
Zhan Jingting felt very sorry for her and comforted her for a long time before she recovered.
Qiao Wanwan did not notice anything unusual about the man. She dealt with her work every day and spent the rest of her time with him and the child.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Jiu has been back for a month, and her physical condition and mood are very stable.
Qiao Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to treat the congenital illness he had contracted from the Zhan family.
