"Not answering? Don’t want to answer my call?"
Yuan Min dialed over and over, even when she tried calling Chen Xin’s cellphone, the result was the sa.
"Zishen, you can’t treat like this!"
Nanny Wu shook her head and hurried forward to comfort her, "Madam, perhaps the young master is suddenly busy..."
"No, he doesn’t want to deal with , he’s still angry at , it must be because of this, angry because I had people kidnap Xiao Wan, but wasn’t that for him?"
Yuan Min beca sadder as she spoke, tears streaming out of her eyes, rolling down her pale cheeks.
"Madam, please sit down, have so water."
"A child is a mother’s most treasured possession, with a child, all can be discussed, Zhenshan only does it for the sake of the child... No, Jingshan? Only Jingshan truly cares for , Zhenshan doesn’t care about at all!"
"dicine, madam, it’s ti for your dicine."
Nanny Wu handed the pills to Yuan Min, feeling anxious inside; she feared Yuan Min might lose control of her emotions and also feared that an increased dosage might cause side effects.
Just then, Li Zihan quickly walked in: "What’s wrong with Mom?"
"Madam feels dizzy, she didn’t rest well last night."
"How is she having insomnia again?"
Nanny Wu nodded with a worried expression.
After glancing at her son, Li Zihan, Yuan Min smiled and took the dicine from Nanny Wu’s hand, put it in her mouth, and quickly drank half a glass of water.
She didn’t want her son to worry.
"How was the business at the western restaurant today? How’s the branch doing?"
"Mom, let’s go to the hospital."
"It’s okay, I’ll be fine after a sleep."
Seeing that his mother didn’t want to go, Li Zihan didn’t say more. He put down his handbag and took out a baked sweet potato he had specifically bought for his mother.
...
On the other hand, Li Zishen was gripping his phone tightly, his gaze firmly cold as he stared at Chen Xin.
"Brother Shen, I... I was wrong."
"The shopping center matter... let others handle it for now, you stay in the hospital."
Chen Xin: "?"
Was I just fired?
"No need to rest, I’m fine now, just wear a mask, we can’t let it affect the work." Chen Xin furrowed his brow, his heart racing.
"You... sure?"
"Very sure, it’s really okay now."
"Good, as long as you’re sure."
Just then, the door to the ward was knocked, and shortly after, a young woman walked in.
Li Zishen slightly lifted his chin and turned to look.
"Hello, I’m from Nanfeng Mansion, my young lady asked to deliver this dicine, sorry for the disturbance." The woman gently placed the small bottle of dicine on the bedside table.
Li Zishen had never believed that Tang Xiaowan would take harsh actions, considering she was tough in word but soft in heart.
With this gesture, he beca more convinced that as long as his mother didn’t co to Huang City for the wedding and didn’t loiter in front of Ye Wanhua, there naturally wouldn’t be any conflict.
Out of sight, out of mind.
At HeiK Club, Tang Xiaowan had only said those harsh words impulsively.
"My thanks, please send my regards to Xiao Wan."
"No need to be polite, I take my leave."
After the young woman left, Chen Xin, not knowing what was happening, stared intently at the small bottle.
"Brother Shen, Miss Tang is..."
"I sent Cheng Shi a ssage, asking him to check with Xiao Wan if there’s any dicine for adjusting to local conditions, and then this happened, you’re lucky."
"Brother Shen, are you still... blocked by Miss Tang?" Chen Xin cautiously asked.
He truly was stirring the pot.
Li Zishen swept a chilling glance, frightening Chen Xin into hurriedly opening the bottle and swallowing two pills without water.
There were only two.
When he saw the label at the bottom of the bottle, stating ’take one at a ti’, his expression froze.
What the hell, why put it there?
Was Miss Tang doing this on purpose?
In just a few minutes, the purple spots on Chen Xin’s face and hands disappeared at a visible rate, even without leaving any trace.
Then, those on his body also vanished.
Although Li Zishen had anticipated the miraculous effect, he had not expected it to be so astonishingly fast.
"Brother Shen, it seems like... I’m all right now!"
"Is your body still itchy?"
"Not itchy anymore, it feels great!"
Chen Xin’s hearty laughter echoed in the sickroom.
He was finally cured, having endured the itch for nearly three hours, which was simply unbearable for an ordinary person.
...
The next morning, at the Leng Family residence.
"Master, Bai Long has already reached the airport," Zhao Renjie showed Leng Lingxiao the newly received picture, "His plane is at 8:10 AM."
"Good, very good, excellent!"
"Are we... being too obvious here?"
"That’s exactly the effect we want. Li Zishen, that old fox, doesn’t do well with secrecy."
Last night, Leng Lingxiao had promised Tang Xiaowan that she could handle her revenge herself. In reality, Leng Lingxiao hadn’t actually participated much, he simply amplified so of Tang Xiaowan’s plans to make them more conspicuous.
"Yes, and on the Jin City side..."
"No hurry, keep an eye on it, it won’t be too late to act after Tangtang has cald down a bit."
But was rely giving them a taste of their own dicine enough? For a venomous woman like Yuan Min, she must be completely eradicated, otherwise, she would remain a nace.
He knew Tang Xiaowan wouldn’t be able to take harsh asures; he knew her too well, and he wanted to help her clean up thoroughly.
Zhao Renjie nodded slightly with understanding.
Just then, the study door opened, and Yang Aihua entered with brisk steps.
"Good morning, madam."
"Uh-huh, morning."
Zhao Renjie tactfully left.
"Mom, what’s up?"
Seeing her son lounging on the sofa and fiddling with a brass lighter, Yang Aihua imdiately frowned, "Why aren’t you worried at all? How is the party preparation going?"
"It’s all arranged."
"I’m telling you, the etiquette must be proper; we can’t let people think our Leng family..."
"Mom, don’t worry, I have it under control."
With that, Yang Aihua seed much more reassured and nodded in satisfaction.
"By the way, make a call to Tangtang, ask her what she wants for lunch. Ask if she’d like pig’s trotters and lamb chops, but don’t say it was my idea, say it was yours."
"Isn’t it too early to ask now?"
"Just ask when told, hurry up."
Leng Lingxiao smiled helplessly, "I’ll do it later, after Tangtang has had breakfast."
"Oh, right, right, I forgot, it’s not urgent. Still, I should make so soup, pig’s trotters and lamb chops alone aren’t enough, soup is more nourishing."
Yang Aihua muttered to herself for a while, then quickly left the study.
In fact, Leng Lingxiao was clearer than anyone that his Little Wife must be feeling tasteless right now, just waiting for the plane to take off to execute the next step of the plan.
Indeed, it was just as he expected.
In the dining room at Nanfeng Mansion, Tang Xiaowan pondered, putting down her spoon after only a couple of sips of lean at porridge.
Why not drive?
Isn’t flying less convenient than driving?
Is it that urgent?
Could it be a decoy?
She couldn’t risk it. She had to be absolutely sure, otherwise it wouldn’t be so easy to make a move again.
"Miss, there’s news," Cheng Shi hurried over and quietly reported, "They’ve sent a ssage that they’re rushing the progress and have violated labor laws, and have been ordered to stop for rectification."
"Stop for rectification? That serious?"
She had only tampered with the cent in two trucks, which could be simply replaced.
"So worker passed out, and the family isn’t willing to let it go."
Tang Xiaowan stirred her porridge gently with a spoon, as if she had realized sothing, "Oh, well, that’s his bad luck, now he’s really got sothing keeping him busy."
