CHAPTER 255: CHAPTER 255: SHE IS DETERMINED TO WIN

Old Mrs. Zhan was filled with righteous indignation, and Ningwan could only listen from the side.

She thought to herself, luckily the old lady didn’t know that I was the one treating Mrs. Yan’s son. Otherwise, she’d definitely be furious again.

"Ningwan, tell me, should I let Hanjue know about this? Should I tell him?" After a while of indignation, Old Mrs. Zhan suddenly asked with a heavy heart.

Ningwan said, "I don’t think there’s any need to tell him; it wouldn’t make any difference to him. He can’t heal anyone and he wouldn’t be able to help either."

"It’s not about treating the illness," Old Mrs. Zhan said. "It’s that I think... sigh, in all these years, even though Hanjue doesn’t say anything, I know he’s been holding onto something in his heart, never forgetting that woman. It’s just out of consideration for me that he’s never looked for her. If he finds out his mother has come back, looking for him, he’d definitely be very happy."

Perhaps it’s because of old age.

Old Mrs. Zhan felt that she had become more forgiving now.

In the past, she certainly wouldn’t have wanted her grandson to meet that woman.

That woman was so heartless back then, abandoning her son, abandoning her grandson.

Later, her son even died indirectly because of her.

For her, she could never forgive that woman her entire life.

But now, she couldn’t help but wonder if she was being too hard on her Hanjue.

After all, she’s grown old, eventually, she will die.

Once she’s gone, her Hanjue would be left with very few relatives in this world.

If she cuts off his ties with even the few relatives he has left, how lonely he would be then.

"Grandma, Hanjue isn’t a child." Ningwan said, "If he really wanted to find his birth mother, do you think you could stop him? He could hide it well, find her secretly, and you could never know about it for the rest of your life. But he hasn’t, so he’s never thought of searching for her. You don’t need to blame yourself, his not looking for her has nothing to do with you."

"Really? Is that so?" Old Mrs. Zhan seemed a bit muddled.

Ningwan stepped forward and massaged her shoulders, "Of course it’s like that, you don’t have to blame yourself, Hanjue... he knows what he should do."

"Sigh, maybe I really am overthinking it. I’m getting old, getting old, Ningwan, you should have a little great-grandchild soon, otherwise, I’m really afraid I won’t live to see that day." Old Mrs. Zhan lamented.

Ningwan felt distressed hearing this and quickly promised, "Don’t worry, grandma, Hanjue and I will try our best."

Coming out of Old Mrs. Zhan’s room, Ningwan ran into Jin Yingzi.

Jin Yingzi came over to give Old Mrs. Zhan a massage.

Ningwan stopped her, "How has the old lady’s health been lately?"

There wasn’t a chance just now to feel her pulse, but she observed and felt that grandma’s health wasn’t too good.

Sure enough, Jin Yingzi slightly frowned and shook her head.

"What’s the matter?"

"Probably just old age!" Jin Yingzi said, "The old lady is nearly eighty, at that age, every part of her body is declining."

"Looks like I must get the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui." Ningwan’s eyes deepened.

Tai Sui has the effect of delaying aging.

Now, she had one more reason to obtain it.

"I’ll go in first, actually, the old lady hasn’t let me give her a massage lately, just have a chat with her." Jin Yingzi added.

Ningwan nodded.

She returned to her herb room, took some herbs that delay aging and extend longevity, and prepared to make some pills for the old lady to take.

Just as Zhan Hanjue returned, knowing she was there, he came to find her.

"Grandma told me today that your mother had come. She didn’t know whether to tell you, so she asked for my opinion." Ningwan said.

Zhan Hanjue replied, "You tell her not to worry, I will not meet her."

"Really not meeting?" Ningwan asked.

Zhan Hanjue shook his head, "Nothing to meet about."

He could understand her difficulties but could not forget the pain of being abandoned by her and his father.

Often, it’s such a contradiction; understanding doesn’t mean forgiveness.

"Alright then, you do as you see fit, I won’t persuade you. By the way, I didn’t get a chance to tell you yesterday, but I found out from Feng Jiuzun. The Wan Family bought the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui, and I think it’s necessary for us to go to Philadelphia."

Zhan Hanjue said, "I was thinking the same."

Ningwan thought for a moment and then told him about Old Mrs. Zhan’s condition.

"So, we must get the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui, too many people need it now. Let’s go to Philadelphia and see what the Wan Family plans to do with it. If they don’t need much, we can negotiate for them to at least share some with us."

The Thousand-year-old Tai Sui is so big, it’s not like it will all be used up as medicine.

The Wan Family wouldn’t eat it all at once either.

If money can’t buy it back, they’ll have to discuss other feasible options, ideally to share half of it.

Upon hearing about grandma’s health, Zhan Hanjue frowned deeply.

"I’ll arrange it immediately, we’ll go to Philadelphia as soon as possible."

"Shouldn’t we notify the Xie Family?" Ningwan asked.

Zhan Hanjue didn’t initially want to notify the Xie Family, seeing Xie Mingyu annoyed him.

But then considering Wangyue’s capabilities, after thinking, he said, "Call Wangyue and have her come."

He was afraid that there would be trouble, and the bodyguards he brought wouldn’t be able to go all out.

Having Wangyue by his side was always more reassuring.

He wouldn’t allow what happened last time to happen again.

"Alright, I’ll contact Wangyue. Last time I was missing, Wangyue was so worried!" Ningwan said.

Zhan Hanjue scoffed, "Not just worried, she wanted to kill me, thinking I abandoned you."

"Ah, is there such a thing? That girl, she’s really a one-track mind. But don’t worry, I’ll explain to her. In that situation, staying would be stupid, we obviously had to leave to find a way to save me."

"I’m not worried whether she misunderstands or not, it has nothing to do with me. As long as you don’t misunderstand." Zhan Hanjue held her hand.

Ningwan called Wangyue.

Upon receiving her call, Wangyue was overjoyed and kept asking how she was.

Sure enough, she even complained, saying how over the top Zhan Hanjue was.

"Miss Ye, you can’t be with him. In that situation, he didn’t come to save you, he’s cowardly and sought only his own survival, he’s not worthy of you at all."

"At that time, he had no other way; staying there was pointless. Continuing to fight would definitely get you hurt. He knew I was worried about you, of course, he didn’t want you to get hurt, making me more worried. So, please forgive him." Ningwan said.

"Miss Ye, next time, I will absolutely not let you get into any danger." Wangyue vowed.

"Mm-hmm, I know, our Wangyue is the best. That’s why, I’m going to Philadelphia for some matters, and I don’t want to take anyone else, I just want to bring you."

"Alright, alright, I’ll go with Miss Ye." Wangyue eagerly responded.

"I’ll call Xie Mingyu and have him let you come." Ningwan said.

Wangyue nodded enthusiastically.

After hanging up the phone, she was all smiles.
