After calming down, Cheng Xiangling immediately went to Shen Zhihuan and thanked her repeatedly.
"Sister Zhihuan, thank you so much for what happened today. If it weren't for you, I don't know if my sister would have survived like this."
"My mom has already called my uncle over, so I'll leave the rest to him."
As she spoke, Song Xunying and Cheng Yuanfang smiled and gestured to Shen Zhihuan from the side.
Seeing how much they trusted their uncle, Shen Zhihuan guessed that he must be a very reliable and capable person.
Thinking of this, she immediately felt much more at ease.
So much has happened tonight, even she and Xie Lanshen were on tenterhooks, the Cheng family must be even more exhausted, both physically and mentally.
At this time, it would be ideal if someone in charge of the family could step forward to help and take care of things.
Shen Zhihuan used a tissue to wipe Cheng Xiangling's tear-stained face and talked to her to comfort her.
"Knowing that Xiangling's uncle is quite capable, I feel at ease."
"But if there's anything else I can help you with, feel free to ask me. Don't be shy."
"Uh-huh."
Cheng Xiangling nodded vigorously and casually mentioned a few things about her uncle to Shen Zhihuan.
“My uncle is not only a very capable person, but also has a wonderful personality. He has always loved his daughter and dotes on my sister and me.”
"If he finds out that the Wen family dared to treat my sister like this, he'll definitely break their legs!"
As Cheng Xiangling spoke, she glared angrily at Wen Jun beside her, looking as if she had finally found a powerful backer and was full of confidence.
Shen Zhihuan saw her reaction and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
"It feels so good to have relatives to take care of you, unlike in my family, where interpersonal relationships are a complete mess."
Shen Yongcai and Fang Qiaolan are not good people; they even managed to drive away their own daughter.
Needless to say, my relatives are practically out of touch with me.
During holidays and festivals, while other families are bustling with activity, the Shen family doesn't even have a single person visiting or exchanging greetings. They truly deserve it.
Cheng Xiangling had no idea what Shen Zhihuan had gone through in the past.
But looking at Shen Zhihuan's complicated eyes, she could guess that her family of origin must have been terrible.
Cheng Xiangling then took her hand, her eyes sparkling, and said with utmost seriousness:
"Sister Zhihuan, if you don't mind, I'll be your younger sister from now on."
"You saved my sister's life. Such a great favor can never be repaid in any way. Not to mention, I really like you and want to take our relationship to the next level!"
Shen Zhihuan could sense how sincere Cheng Xiangling's tone was when she said those words. She was both surprised and moved, and didn't know how to reply.
Cheng Yuanfang walked over and tapped Cheng Xiangling's forehead.
“If we’re going to visit each other, it should be our two families visiting together. How can you try to monopolize it?”
Song Xunying nodded in agreement.
“Miss Shen and Chief Xie have been so kind to our family, so of course we should visit each other more often like relatives.”
"There are just too many things to deal with today, and we really can't get away. We will definitely find an opportunity to visit you in person to express our gratitude later."
Cheng Xiangling stuck her tongue out at her father, then turned to Shen Zhihuan and said earnestly:
“When my uncle arrives, I will tell him everything that happened today, and I will take him with me when I go to thank you. He will definitely want to meet you in person.”
Unexpectedly, the Cheng family was so serious. Not only did the whole family come to thank them, but they also brought their uncle along as a group.
Shen Zhihuan waved her hands repeatedly and said, "You are too kind. Xiangling's sister is also our neighbor. Since I know medicine, it is only right that I help her out."
The Cheng family didn't want to put too much pressure on her, so they didn't insist on continuing the conversation.
I'm just thinking of waiting for a suitable opportunity to visit them later.
Seeing that Cheng Yuanfang was planning to go to the police station near the hospital, Cao Tongwen and Wen Jun finally began to feel guilty.
"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I'm Cheng Wan's mother-in-law, practically her mother-in-law. How could I possibly bear to harm her?"
"For the sake of our in-law relationship, please let us off the hook and don't report us to the police station."
Cao Tongwen and the other woman smiled awkwardly, trying to stop Cheng Yuanfang from leaving the hospital.
"Shut up, you're not worthy to utter those words."
Cheng Yuanfang stared at them coldly, his face showing no emotion whatsoever.
"If you were so afraid of being caught, why didn't you ever think of being a little soft-hearted when you were torturing Wanwan?"
"It's too late to regret it now. I'll fight you to the death, and I'll risk everything to send you to prison!"
He had made up his mind. After saying that, he shook off their hands and strode towards the hospital exit.
Watching Cheng Yuanfang's figure disappear at the end of the corridor, Cao Tongwen felt so guilty that her legs went weak and she collapsed onto the bench.
“I really didn’t harm anyone. Ever since Cheng Wan got pregnant, I’ve been feeding her normal food. Even if the police come, they can’t just arrest people randomly.”
She kept muttering to herself, and before long, a large patch of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
And just as she said, even if she disliked Cheng Wan, she would never poison her for the sake of her grandson.
That bowl of ginseng tonic soup was really just an accident.
Qiu Shanshan had previously told her that people with special circumstances should not drink ginseng soup.
But Cao Tongwen was in good health, and she had no problem drinking the ginseng soup she made herself. She felt it would be a waste to throw away the rest, so she remembered Cheng Wan.
