eting with Mr. Lin, Lu Jinxuan was distracted the entire ti.
"Mr. Lu?"
Mr. Lin tapped the table with his fingers, a slight smile on his lips.
"Hmm?" Lu Jinxuan snapped back to attention, his expression a bit awkward. "Sorry, where were we?"
Mr. Lin chuckled softly, "We were discussing your marriage with the Gong family's daughter."
"Yes." Lu Jinxuan nodded, "Don't worry, I know what to do... I won't let them discover anything amiss."
"Hmm." Mr. Lin pondered, still tapping the table with his fingers, "Where exactly is the problem? Back then, the Gong family couldn't have left no traces at all... Tsk! I've been searching for so long and still haven't discovered anything new."
Lu Jinxuan frowned, maintaining his silence.
Indeed, their current efforts to bring down the Gong family were far from enough.
They still lacked the most crucial and direct evidence, but ti was running out for them.
In the end, where could this piece of evidence be hidden?
...
Lezheng Family.
"Ugh..."
Yu Sangwan vomited again. Coming out of the bathroom, Le Zhengsheng stood there with a grim face, silent and looking down.
"What's wrong?" Yu Sangwan knew he was worried about her, and she felt a twinge in her heart.
"Wanwan..." Le Zheng looked up at her, his thin lips moving.
"Go..." Seeing him like this, Yu Sangwan finally relented, "Heat up the dicine for to drink!"
"Really?" Le Zheng was delighted, fearing she might regret it, he imdiately ran out, "Wait for !"
The door was open, and Yu Sangwan leaned against the door fra, her hand pressed against her stomach. She hadn't stopped vomiting at all, and she was never plump to begin with. In such a short ti, she'd beco thinner, and the bracelet she wore at night could no longer stay in place.
As soon as her hand dropped, it would slide off.
'Da da da' footsteps approached, and Le Zhengsheng ca up with the dicine.
With his large fra, he bent down, looking at her with eager eyes, "Drink it!"
Looking at the black dicine, Yu Sangwan frowned, covering her mouth and nose in regret, "It looks so bitter."
"dicine is bitter, of course."
Le Zhengsheng coaxed her gently, "Don't worry, here... I'll drink it with you."
"..." Yu Sangwan widened her eyes at him, clearly not believing him.
"Watch this!" Le Zhengsheng lifted the bowl and took a big gulp, "Hmm... it's okay, not too bitter, a bit sweet."
"Really?" Yu Sangwan was skeptical, but his expression genuinely seed like it wasn't that bitter.
Le Zhengsheng nodded earnestly, "Really, there seems to be brown sugar in it..."
"Then..." Yu Sangwan tucked her hair behind her ears and leaned forward, "I'll drink it."
Le Zhengsheng smiled, carefully feeding her, "Slowly, it's a bit hot, but the housekeeper said it has to be drunk hot to retain its efficacy."
"..." Yu Sangwan regretted it the mont she tasted it, "Ugh..."
What sweetness! What brown sugar! It was all a lie!
By this point, there was no way Le Zhengsheng would let her avoid it. He pressed his hand on her back, not allowing her to escape, "Listen, gulp it down in one go! Co on, don't be afraid!"
Yu Sangwan looked up, and under Le Zhengsheng's gaze, she was too embarrassed to back out, forcing herself to drink the entire bowl of dicine.
"Great! So good." Le Zhengsheng laughed, "Haha..."
He raised his hand to ruffle her hair, like soothing a child.
Watching him laugh so heartily, Yu Sangwan couldn't help but be affected, "Le Zheng..."
"Hmm?" Le Zhengsheng was puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"..." Yu Sangwan shook her head, "Nothing."
Actually, she wanted to ask... did drinking just a bowl of dicine really make him that happy?
However, the bowl of dicine had no effect.
Before an hour had passed after drinking it, Yu Sangwan began to vomit again.
"Ugh..."
Throughout the main building, it seed like all you could hear was her retching. Le Zhengsheng patted her back, frowning more and more deeply.
"Wanwan..."
Yu Sangwan humd softly, "Hmm..."
Le Zhengsheng parted his lips, "Is it really that bad?"
Yu Sangwan clutched her stomach, nodding, "My stomach feels like it's being twisted."
"..." Le Zhengsheng was speechless, only finding his voice after a long pause, "Let hold you!"
Yu Sangwan couldn't bear to even refuse this, so she voluntarily leaned into his arms, "Alright!"
Le Zheng carried Yu Sangwan to the bed, holding her hand and choked up as he spoke, "Wanwan, please get treatnt, okay? Treatnt still offers hope... if you continue like this, you'll really..."
He couldn't bring himself to say 'die'!
"..." Yu Sangwan was silent for a mont, then sighed, "I'm so tired, I just want to sleep for a bit."
"Wanwan!" Le Zhengsheng was anxious, frowning and raising his voice, "You're not such a pessimistic person, why are you giving up so easily?"
Yu Sangwan looked at him quietly; there was much she didn't know how to tell Le Zheng. She wasn't a pessimistic person... but truly, there was nothing left to keep her fighting to stay alive. She slowly closed her eyes, "I want to sleep now."
Le Zhengsheng was helpless and could only leave the room.
He stood by the door, contemplating many things, and finally thought of Lu Jinxuan.
The only one who could make Yu Sangwan so despairing, apart from Lu Jinxuan, was no one else.
"Bastard!" Le Zhengsheng cursed, wiping his face harshly before rushing downstairs.
...
At the entrance of Original House, no one expected Le Zhengsheng would co to make a scene.
"Young Master Lezheng..."
"Move aside!"
Le Zhengsheng announced his na, and without waiting for them to report, he barged inside.
Lu Jinxuan received the news and ca down from upstairs. Seeing Le Zhengsheng, he couldn't help but frown. With the sensitive relationship between them, what was this brazen behavior about? Wasn't Wanwan already with him?
"You!"
As soon as Le Zhengsheng spotted Lu Jinxuan, he rushed over and grabbed his collar. Lu Jinxuan reacted quickly, grabbing his wrist. The two n were locked in a confrontation, evenly matched, "What are you doing?"
"Co out with ! Do you want to talk about Wanwan here?"
Lu Jinxuan was taken aback, naturally not.
"Alright, let's talk outside."
In the backyard, Le Zhengsheng pointed at Lu Jinxuan, his tone stiff yet pleading, "Go coax her! Do you hear ?"
"..." Lu Jinxuan was stunned, "What do you an?"
Le Zhengsheng's eyes reddened, and he hoarsely shouted, "Wanwan is sick... but she doesn't want to live! She's already died once because of you, and now she truly doesn't want to live anymore! She's gravely ill, but... she's chosen to wait for death!"
"..."
Lu Jinxuan was dumbfounded, his blood boiling as he glared fiercely at Le Zhengsheng, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Che!" Le Zhengsheng scoffed, "Why are you yelling at now? Who put her in this state?"
He raised his right hand, pointing at Lu Jinxuan, "Listen, Wanwan has a tumor, and she hasn't been able to eat for a long ti... just barely getting by on nutrient fluids."
Choking up several tis, he struggled to continue, "She truly doesn't want to live anymore!"
