Chapter 718 Hesitation
"Let's just use mine!" Zhong Jinghao said, his face calm, as if he was talking about a simple matter. "I'm still young, so even if I lose some vitality, it won't be a big problem."
"No." Zheng Siling said immediately, "Jinghao, you are still young and have a long future ahead of you. Listen to me, this time, I will use your father's and my life to save Meng Fan."
"Mom, you guys--" Zhong Jinghao had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Zhong Minghao.
"This matter is settled." Zhong Minghao made the final decision directly. "This is the decision of your mother and I. If you are a filial son, then don't say anything more."
"Jinghao, stop talking."
At this time, Mr. Zhong also spoke, "I know you don't want your parents to get into trouble. However, it's Meng Fan, their daughter, who's in trouble. It's their responsibility as parents to take care of Meng Fan now."
In the end, Zhong Jinghao had no choice but to agree.
It was decided that in three days, the vitality of Zhong Minghao and Zheng Siling would be extracted and transferred to Zhong Mengfan.
After the matter was settled, everyone left. Only Zhong Nianyao stayed, saying that she needed to help Zhong Mengfan stabilize his soul.
After everyone in the room left, Zhong Nianyao slowly walked to the bedside and said jokingly, "Since you're already awake, why don't you get up and talk?"
At this time, the person on the bed slowly opened his eyes.
Zhong Mengfan's eyes were very clear, and he didn't look like he had just woken up.
Zhong Nianyao said nothing, she simply pulled a chair over to the bedside and sat down. She had already noticed that Zhong Mengfan had woken up earlier, but she hadn't pointed it out.
"You knew I woke up a long time ago." Zhong Mengfan frowned, "Then why didn't you expose me?"
"Why should I expose you?" Zhong Nianyao shrugged. "Actually, whether you wake up or not, it doesn't matter to me. Besides, don't you also want to see your parents' reaction?"
"How do you know?"
As soon as she said that, Zhong Mengfan realized that she had said the wrong thing. She quickly said, "I didn't mean anything else. I just... just..."
He kept hesitating and couldn't explain what he was saying.
"You just wanted to see your parents and brother's reactions, to see if they still loved you?" Zhong Nianyao directly spoke out Zhong Mengfan's true feelings. "So, how are you doing now? Are you satisfied with what you heard?"
Hearing Zhong Nianyao speak out her true feelings, Zhong Mengfan did not get angry. She lowered her head and muttered to herself, "I originally thought they were no longer going to care about me."
"Didn't you always say before that the fake one was more important to your parents and brothers?" Zhong Nianyao raised an eyebrow and continued, "When they see you in danger, they will still stand up for you without hesitation. Even though you have done many things that make them unhappy, they still love you."
Zhong Mengfan's eyes were slightly red, and the tears in the corners of her eyes could no longer be held back and began to flow down. However, even when she was crying, she bit her lips tightly and did not dare to make any sound, for fear of alarming others.
Looking at Zhong Mengfan crying bitterly, Zhong Nian Yao didn't say anything, just watched quietly.
She would never meddle in other people's business, but comforted Zhong Mengfan. You know, the relationship between her and Zhong Mengfan is not good, and can even be said to be hostile.
The reason she was willing to rescue Zhong Mengfan was only because of Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong. Even if they were very disappointed with Zhong Mengfan, they would still be sad if something really happened to him.
It was unknown how long it took before Zhong Mengfan stopped crying.
At this time, Zhong Mengfan's eyes were red, his face had a blush from crying, his lips were bloodless, and he looked very weak.
She looked frail, and despite her beauty, although not as pretty as Zhong Nianyao, she was still a beauty. Looking at her like this, she was a sickly beauty.
If an outsider saw this, he would definitely feel pity.
It’s a pity that the person in front of her is Zhong Nian Yao, who has always been at odds with her, so it is naturally impossible for her to have any feelings for her.
Zhong Mengfan didn't expect Zhong Nianyao to sympathize with her. She picked up a tissue, wiped the tears from her face, looked up at Zhong Nianyao, and said, "Let me ask you, my parents, they gave me their chance to live, will anything happen to them?"
Although she would die without life in her body, she would never forgive herself if something happened to her body because her parents tried to save her.
Zhong Nianyao shrugged, looking nonchalant. "I don't know. It depends on one's physical condition. I can't answer your question right now."
Zhong Mengfan was obviously dissatisfied with this answer, "Zhong Nianyao, are you deliberately hiding this from me?"
"Why would I hide it from you?" Zhong Nianyao sneered, "We haven't even started rescuing people yet, so who knows what the consequences will be! I can only say that I can guarantee that their lives are not in danger. As for the rest, who can guarantee that?"
Zhong Mengfan was a little dissatisfied and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhong Nian Yao.
"Zhong Mengfan, you know your own current physical condition very well." Zhong Nianyao was already a little impatient. "Even if you're sitting here now, you should be able to feel that most of your energy has been used up! Once the vitality in your body is exhausted, then there will be no way to save you."
After listening to Zhong Nian Yao's words, Zhong Mengfan fell into silence.
"Okay, you don't have to do anything now. Just take good care of yourself. As for your parents, if you really feel guilty, then you can be filial to them in the future and stop doing things that make them angry."
After saying that, Zhong Nian Yao stood up and walked towards the door.
After leaving the room, she closed the door, but still looked at the door deeply again, as if she could see the person inside through the door.
Zhong Mengfan's hesitation had really caught her off guard. She had assumed that knowing her own critical condition, she would have wanted to seek help from her parents as soon as possible. However, she was still worried about her parents, even hesitant because she was afraid something might happen to them.
