Chapter 112 Who was responsible for that night four years ago?
A few days later, Cheng Qian saw Cheng Yan in the experimental classroom.
The hint of pride that Cheng Yan couldn't hide between her brows was written directly on her face.
"Cousin, I knew that with your fame, Dr. Lan would definitely appreciate you. Alas, I'm not as lucky as you." Cheng Yan wanted Cheng Qian to know the whole process of her coming here.
"You lack the ability and have bad luck. What can you show off?" Cheng Qian couldn't stand her and started to criticize her.
Cheng Yan glared at her, not expecting Cheng Qian to be so tasteless.
"Cousin, not everyone is like you, with a pair of academician parents to support them..."
"Yeah, not everyone is like you, who likes to find other people's husbands to support themselves, and is shameless." Cheng Qian sneered and walked into the laboratory.
Cheng Yan felt like she had been slapped twice, and was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time.
Since Cheng Qian knew how important she was to Li Zhinan, why didn't she mention divorce?
It's more decent to leave on your own than to be chased away.
The half-day class was over, and Cheng Yan was so angry that her head was dizzy. She didn't remember the key points that Dr. Lan had just talked about. So, at noon, she took the initiative to propose to treat Lan Jie to a meal, hoping to ask her for some advice during lunch.
Lan Jie refused her invitation and asked her to spend more time meditating with the other two students.
Cheng Yan felt embarrassed for a moment and had to find another male student to talk to him.
Cheng Qian finished her class in the morning and returned to the laboratory in the afternoon. She had recently made further discoveries while deciphering the genetic code, and she wanted to focus more on this research topic.
Cheng Yan did not return to the laboratory in the afternoon, but came to see Li Zhiwei after receiving a call from Jiang Meng.
Li Zhiwei has recently lost his appetite and has lost his energy. Jiang Meng is very distressed and has to find Cheng Yan, hoping that she can enlighten her younger son.
Before Cheng Yan came, she bought a set of clothes for Li Zhiwei and brought a few books.
"Sister Cheng Yan..." Li Zhiwei smiled with surprise when he saw Cheng Yan.
Jiang Meng stood beside her, also smiling: "Miss Cheng, thank you for making another trip."
Cheng Yan replied gently: "Aunt Jiang, I have always cared about Xiaowei as a younger brother. This is what I should do."
When Jiang Meng heard this, he felt warm in his heart and looked at Cheng Yan more favorably.
Cheng Yan spent some time chatting with Li Zhiwei and reading picture books about exploring the universe and the starry sky together.
Li Zhiwei knew that he would not live long, so he always yearned for outer space. He wondered if his soul could float into outer space if he left this world.
Before I knew it, it was dark.
Cheng Yan looked at the sleeping Li Zhiwei and felt relieved. In fact, she didn't like chatting with Li Zhiwei as much as she seemed. He was too stupid and unrealistic.
"Miss Cheng, is Xiaowei asleep?" Jiang Meng brought a cup of hot tea: "Thank you, thank you again for troubling you."
Cheng Yan glanced at Li Zhiwei lying on the bed with tenderness and love, and said softly, "Aunt Jiang, don't be so polite."
Jiang Meng glanced at the watch on his hand, then said, "It's dinner time now. I just called Zhinan, and he said he wanted to come over for dinner. Let's have dinner together before leaving."
Cheng Yan was full of resentment, but when she heard these words, her eyes lit up instantly.
"Aunt Jiang, will Zhinan come over?" Cheng Yan immediately looked forward to it.
Jiang Meng saw Cheng Yan's admiration for her eldest son, and her love could not be hidden.
"Yeah!" Jiang Meng nodded with a smile.
An hour later, Li Zhinan pushed open the door of a restaurant box next to the hospital.
He had just come out of the company, wearing a black shirt, and looked noble and mysterious.
When Cheng Yan saw the man who walked in, she couldn't help but look a little shy.
"Mom, Cheng Yan, how is Xiaowei's condition?" Li Zhinan frowned and asked with concern.
"It's still the same." Jiang Meng's eyes were filled with heartache.
Cheng Yan lowered her eyes and blamed herself, saying, "It's all my fault for not being good at academics. I haven't found a breakthrough yet. Aunt Jiang, Zhinan, I really can't bear to see Xiaowei hurting himself. I just noticed that the back of his hands are covered in wounds. It's so pitiful."
Jiang Meng's eyes reddened, and she leaned over the table and started crying: "Xiaowei was so upset that he vented in this way. Once, I found him stealing a knife and fork and stabbing his thigh hard, causing it to bleed. At that moment, I really wanted to leave with him. I gave birth to him and let him suffer all the suffering in the world."
Cheng Yan immediately stood up and hugged Jiang Meng gently: "Aunt Jiang, you must not think like that."
Li Zhinan's expression was also tense, his dark eyes unable to hide the pain and helplessness: "Mom, there will be a way. Cheng Qian is already stepping up her research. She promised me that she would cure Xiaowei."
Jiang Meng showed a confused and disappointed expression, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Cheng Qian said that she has been researching for four years, but she still hasn't seen any results. Can she really succeed? Or has she been lying to me?"
When Cheng Yan heard this, there was a look of schadenfreude in her eyes. Cheng Qian was denied by Jiang Meng.
Li Zhinan's expression darkened, and he obviously didn't dare to guarantee anything.
Cheng Yan immediately started to persuade her, "Aunt Jiang, we should think positively. Maybe my cousin can actually find a solution. She's so outstanding."
"I wanted her to marry into the Li family because of her excellence..." Jiang Meng stopped talking halfway.
At this moment, Li Zhinan stared at his mother seriously and sharply.
Jiang Meng immediately changed the subject: "Forget it, we can still count on her. Cheng Yan, go and urge the waiter to serve the food quickly. I'm hungry."
Cheng Yan was also shocked, but she was not involved, so she did not think too deeply about it.
When Cheng Yan pushed the door open and left, Li Zhinan suddenly lowered his voice and asked his mother, "Mom, what were you talking about?"
Jiang Meng immediately played dumb: "I didn't say anything, I just said Cheng Qian has been lying to me."
Li Zhinan's eyes were cold and sharp: "Mom, are you hiding something from me?"
Jiang Meng felt guilty when she was stared at by her son. She immediately raised her voice: "I'm your mother, what can I hide from you?"
"What did you mean when you said that you let her marry into the Li family because she was so outstanding?" Li Zhinan pressed on, as if he wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Just then, Cheng Yan pushed the door open and came in, saying softly, "The waiter said our dishes will be served next."
Jiang Meng immediately glared at his son with an unhappy expression.
How can a son question his mother?
In Li Zhinan's heart, it was like a stone stirred up a thousand waves.
After that night of pleasure, he always believed that Cheng Qian had done something to him in order to pay off her debts and save her parents' laboratory. In the past few years after their marriage, he did not use this incident to attack or condemn her, either openly or secretly.
Every time Cheng Qian explained, she would look innocent and helpless and say that she didn't.
How could Li Zhinan believe her explanation?
She has a motive.
At this moment, a word that the mother inadvertently revealed overturned all previous guesses.
Li Zhinan was furious and clenched his fingers under the table. If it wasn't the time arranged by Cheng Qian, could it be his mother?
Why did she do that?
Is it because Cheng Qian’s parents are big names in the scientific research community, and her mother wants to tie her to the Li family and make her willingly research drugs for her brother?
