"Chronic poisoning? Diet?" Zhang Zhan closed his eyes, but scenes from the past floated into his mind.
He often works overtime until very late before getting home, but no matter when he gets home,
There would always be someone sitting in front of a table full of hot dishes, smiling and asking him, "You're back? The food is all ready, come and eat."
"Xiaofang, what is your true self like?" Zhang Zhan fell into deep thought.
think.
He refused to believe that behind that perfect and gentle smile in his memory lay a sharp knife aimed at him. The more he thought about it, the more chaotic his mind became, and before he knew it, he had arrived at Wang Fang's hospital room.
He merely flashed past the doorway, but Wang Fang, inside the room, keenly caught his eye.
Alright.
"Ah Zhan," Wang Fang suppressed her hidden emotions, regaining her usual innocent demeanor, "How did it go? Have you finished asking about the Ding family?"
Zhang Zhan simply pursed his thin lips and remained silent.
Wang Fang then asked, "Aren't you going to compensate me in any way?"
Then, she sighed deeply and said in a magnanimous tone, "Never mind, I know you were just in a hurry. I don't blame you, but this is the last time."
If it were the Zhang Zhan of the past, he would have been overjoyed that his wife had forgiven him upon hearing her words. However, at this moment, his heart was filled with struggle and hesitation.
This complex emotion prevented him from immediately confronting her and questioning her.
Instead, she fled in a panic.
Seeing this, Wang Fang smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen you like this."
In the past, Zhang Zhan always appeared confident and in control in front of her, so this was the first time he had ever looked so lost and dejected.
After leaving, Zhang Zhan walked to Zhang Wei's ward and waved to Shen Qianqian and Lu Yunzhi, who were taking care of her. Once the three of them reached the small garden below the hospital, Zhang Zhan finally couldn't help but ask, "Do you know what Mom and my little sister talked about that day?"
His first step was to find evidence against Gao Yalan for targeting Wang Fang, and then follow the clues to continue the investigation. Unfortunately, both Gao Yalan and Zhang Wei were currently unconscious. The only people he could ask were Shen Qianqian and Lu Yunzhi, who were standing before him.
Lu Yunzhi shook his head, while Shen Qianqian nodded.
"I remember some, but not much." Shen Qianqian has always had a habit of not being able to sleep in unfamiliar beds, and it is common for her to have difficulty falling asleep on the first night in an unfamiliar environment. She recalled the situation that night and said, "That night, I didn't fall asleep until almost midnight. My grandmother lived in an old house, and the soundproofing wasn't very good, so I could only hear a few things."
That day, Zhang Wei and Gao Yalan talked about Wang Fang through letters that Gao Yalan had never received. Gao Yalan vaguely recalled saying, "I also had Wang Fang send a letter before, Weiwei, did you receive it?"
Never.
After receiving an affirmative answer from Zhang Wei on the other end of the phone, Gao Yalan slammed her hand on the table and said angrily:
"Oh! It was her behind all this! We lost contact with you for over twenty years, and it turns out she was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes!"
"Weiwei, while you were home, did Wang Fang do anything else to you?" Gao Yalan asked her daughter urgently, wanting to expose all of Wang Fang's shameful deeds that very night!
After being asked this question, Zhang Wei recalled the situation from back then.
Her parents were very strict with her. Zhang Wei's only act of rebellion in her life was because of Shen Yuan, who was introduced to her by Wang Fang.
“My sister-in-law told me that Shen Yuan was hardworking and ambitious, and created many opportunities for me to spend time alone with him. Over time, I also fell for Shen Yuan.”
"Furthermore, after I got together with Shen Yuan, it was my sister-in-law who told me that no matter what, you all disagreed with me being with Shen Yuan, and even had the idea of dealing with Shen Yuan. I was so scared at the time that I..." Zhang Wei recalled her elopement process and felt that it was all Wang Fang's instigation. From meeting to eloping, every step was Wang Fang's idea.
“Ever since my sister-in-law married into our family, she has always been kind and gentle. I truly consider her family.” Zhang Wei’s voice was choked with emotion. “She even said that if I had any difficulties, I should contact her, but she has never answered my calls or sent me any letters.”
Zhang Wei finally saw Wang Fang for who she truly was at this moment.
Gao Yalan was furious upon hearing Zhang Wei's words, "Wang Fang, that wolf!"
You heartless bastard! When her family had that tragedy, if it weren't for our help, she might not be alive today! Who would have thought she'd raise a wolf that would kill you!
She became increasingly angry as she spoke, her hands trembling with rage. Fortunately, she had turned on speakerphone from the beginning, which gave Shen Qianqian the opportunity to hear everything.
"That's pretty much what I heard that night. After that, Grandma got really angry, and Mom was just busy comforting her," Shen Qianqian said.
“I see.” Zhang Zhan nodded. “No wonder Mom’s attitude toward Xiaofang suddenly changed that day.”
"Uncle, what did Grandma mean by what she said?" Shen Qianqian asked again.
Zhang Zhan sighed and began to recount his past.
“When Xiaofang was in middle school, her family went abroad for a trip, but her parents died unexpectedly. Because of their good relationship with the Wang family, her parents took Xiaofang into their home. At that time, Weiwei and I were studying abroad, so her parents treated Xiaofang as their own daughter.”
"Later, after I returned to China, perhaps because we spent so much time together, I gradually fell in love with Xiaofang."
He could still remember the flutter and admiration he felt when he first got together with Wang Fang. Unfortunately, he didn't know when it started, but Wang Fang seemed to have become veiled in front of him and his family.
