Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement Chapter 200: Poisoned by Lovesickness
Zhan Hanjue questioned coldly, and Mrs. Leng’s face turned blue with anger.
"Zhan Hanjue, is this how you talk to ?"
"Haven’t you always known my attitude?" Zhan Hanjue retorted unceremoniously.
Mrs. Leng was trembling with rage and looked towards Old Mrs. Zhan to question her, "He treats so disrespectfully, and you don’t care?"
Old Mrs. Zhan said nothing.
She was indifferent to how Mrs. Leng treated her, but the thought that she wanted to harm her great-grandson was sothing she couldn’t tolerate.
"Fine, Zhan Hanjue, just you wait." Mrs. Leng left angrily with her entourage.
"Are you alright?"
After Mrs. Leng left, Zhan Hanjue imdiately asked Ningwan in a low voice.
Ningwan shook her head.
Actually, even if he hadn’t co, she could have handled the situation today.
However, seeing him so concerned about her made her feel quite happy inside.
"It’s my fault. I didn’t know there would be radiation. If I had known, I wouldn’t have agreed to have you called back," Old Mrs. Zhan apologized.
Ningwan quickly said, "Grandmother, please don’t say that. You were only thinking of and Jue, not wanting us to be gossiped about."
"As long as you understand, that’s good. Go back and rest quickly!" Old Mrs. Zhan said with relief.
Indeed, she truly was the granddaughter-in-law she was satisfied with, except for what happened back then. Other than that, she was genuinely pleased with her.
Never mind, as long as she could give birth to a great-grandson for the Zhan Family, she would forgive her.
After all, back then, she was just a child and didn’t really do anything wrong.
Ningwan left with Zhan Hanjue.
However, on the way back, she kept her brows furrowed, deep in thought.
"What’s wrong?"
The man frowned and reached out to touch her brow.
Ningwan snapped out of it and quickly said, "It’s nothing, just thinking... Grandmother is too good, and I feel bad for deceiving her like this."
"If you don’t want to deceive her, we just need to try harder," the man said with an ambiguous smile in her ear.
Ningwan gave a wry smile.
As if trying harder would solve it.
However, sothing did co to her mind, making her feel uneasy.
Mrs. Leng’s outburst resulted in nothing and left her both furious and helpless.
But soon, she didn’t have the mind to deal with Ningwan.
Because her son, Leng Ziqing, fell ill.
Since that banquet, he had been listless.
Before the holidays, he had only been to school once.
But after that one visit, he fell ill.
At first, he just looked unwell and couldn’t eat.
Later, he couldn’t even get out of bed, his face pale as paper, rapidly losing weight.
Mrs. Leng was worried sick and hurriedly sent him to the hospital.
However, after running all the tests, nothing could be found.
Seeing his spirits waning day by day, at this rate, she feared he would die.
Zhang ii cried and said, "Auntie, just go see Ningwan. Isn’t she the Divine Doctor Bai Zhi? She must have a way to save Ziqing."
Mrs. Leng remained stony-faced and silent.
Zhang ii, seeing she wouldn’t relent, angrily went to the Zhan Family to find Ningwan herself.
When Housekeeper Wu inford Ningwan that Zhang ii had arrived, she raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Invite her in."
After Zhang ii ca in, she said to Ningwan, "You must go to the Leng Family and save Leng Ziqing. He’s dying."
Ningwan was surprised, "How could that be? Wasn’t he full of life just days ago? How could he be dying now?"
Zhang ii, eager and in tears, said, "Do you think I’m joking? He’s really dying. If there was any other way, do you think I’d be willing to co to you?"
Ningwan thought for a mont and understood.
Zhang ii always treated her like a mortal enemy.
If it wasn’t an ergency, judging by her proud nature, she certainly wouldn’t have co to her.
"How could he be dying? Explain the situation first," Ningwan said solemnly.
Seeing that she believed her, Zhang ii wiped her tears and told Ningwan about Leng Ziqing’s condition.
"The hospital did all the tests, with all kinds of instrunts, but nothing was found."
Ningwan thought to herself, these symptoms indicated poisoning, how could they possibly detect it?
"Did you do a blood test?" Ningwan asked again.
Zhang ii nodded, "Of course, it’s a basic procedure. There was an anomaly in the blood, but no specific illness could be identified."
As expected.
Ningwan said, "Did Mrs. Leng know you ca to find ?"
"Yes, I asked her to co, but she refused, so I had no choice but to co. I can’t just watch him die," Zhang ii said.
Ningwan said, "You seem very attached to Leng Ziqing."
"Attached? If it weren’t for... for what happened between us, I wouldn’t care about him at all. Even unconscious, he was calling out Wu Taotao’s na. Did he ever have in his heart?" Zhang ii complained angrily.
Ningwan was speechless, realizing that this was why Leng Ziqing felt unworthy of Wu Taotao and had to break up with her.
Never mind.
Since Leng Ziqing wouldn’t reveal the reason, she wouldn’t tell Wu Taotao either.
Since there’s no possibility between them, why complicate things further?
"Are you going or not?" Zhang ii urged when she saw Ningwan hadn’t indicated her stance.
Ningwan said, "I need to consider it. I can’t give you an answer now."
"What? With a life at stake, you still need to consider?" Zhang ii fud.
Ningwan replied, "Why shouldn’t I consider? Mrs. Leng treats like this, Leng Ziqing wronged my best friend. In a way, there’s no affection between us, right? Do you think saving a life is easy? Just by opening and closing your mouth?"
Zhang ii was speechless because what she said was true.
However...
"No matter what, Leng Ziqing is Zhan Hanjue’s cousin. You might be able to ignore him, but Zhan Hanjue can’t. If you don’t save him, I’ll go find Zhan Hanjue."
With that, Zhang ii ran off.
But she couldn’t possibly et Zhan Hanjue.
Even if she went to Zhan Hanjue’s company, she would be stopped.
At a loss, she returned to the Zhan Family to find Old Mrs. Zhan.
Old Mrs. Zhan, upon hearing that Leng Ziqing was sick, beca very anxious.
Regardless, he was Mrs. Leng’s only son and a part of the Zhan family’s bloodline.
If anything were to happen to him, she would be very saddened.
So, she asked Mrs. Chen to call Ningwan over to discuss the matter with her.
"Ningwan, I know you have a conflict with Changxin. But no matter how serious the conflict is, with a life at stake, I still hope you can go check on Ziqing and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Actually, after Zhang ii left, Ningwan had carefully thought about Leng Ziqing’s symptoms.
The more she thought about it, the more it seed like he was poisoned with "Longing."
This "Longing" wasn’t that kind of longing.
It’s a poison, made from several toxic herbs.
The poisoned person becos listless, sentintal, and unable to eat, very much like soone who’s pining over another.
Hence the na.
This poison, Longing, is not particularly difficult to cure.
But the troubleso part is, one of the toxic herbs is sowhat special, pregnant won shouldn’t get close to it.
Otherwise, it could easily cause a miscarriage.
She’s not pregnant, so she isn’t afraid of miscarriage.
However, it would expose the fact that she’s not pregnant.
