This was something Chen Li Shu had clarified when interacting with the He family, and the He family had believed her words?
Thinking of this, Zhang Wan Er licked her lips, then walked into the room and quickly ran towards Madam He's direction, feigning an appearance of endless worry. She knelt down with a thud, held her hands firmly, and asked, "Wh-what exactly happened? I heard a commotion outside as soon as I woke up. You said Aunt He..."
Upon seeing this, Chen Tong's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain, but he quickly concealed it. Then, pretending to be surprised, he supported her and said, "Miss Zhang, please get up. Aren't you still pregnant? The floor is too cold, and I'm worried it will affect your maternal body."
Zhang Wan Er subtly moved her hand to her thigh, pinching herself hard. Crocodile tears instantly streamed down her face. "How did Auntie relapse? Dr. Chen, can you tell me what state Auntie He's health is in now?"
Chen Tong shook his head, his face showing regret. "At the end of her rope!"
"Who exactly administered the medicine?! Auntie He hasn't eaten any junk food to take care of herself during this time, and she's even stopped taking tonics. Normally, besides eating..." At this point, Zhang Wan Er paused.
Old Master He naturally knew what she was about to say. Since it was his turn to act, he naturally had to perform well. He cleared his throat, his voice somewhat hoarse, and said, "This matter should not have been done by Chen Li Shu. She has no reason to commit the crime!
During our time together, we have cleared up all misunderstandings. We also spoke with her about your moving into the house. If anyone were to be harmed, it should have been Li Xiu Lan. She agreed to bring you back home. Your old lady has never been involved in this matter from beginning to end!"
"But wasn't Li Shu the one who administered the medicine the first time? She seems like such a well-behaved woman, and it really doesn't seem like she would do something like this. But besides her, who else had the opportunity?
Uncle He, Auntie is now lying in bed, her life hanging by a thread. Are you going to let the murderer escape right under your nose? A life for a life is the natural order of things!"
Zhang Wan Er was exceptionally agitated when she said this. It seemed Chen Li Shu had really brainwashed Old Master He and the others quite thoroughly during this period. Otherwise, with Madam He lying in bed, her life in danger at any moment, how could this old immortal be so calm!
Old Master He fell into deep thought after hearing Zhang Wan Er's words. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, as if he had made a decision. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I've wronged my old lady. I thought Chen Li Shu was truly repentant, and after living together for so long, I couldn't bring myself to be harsh. Since she hasn't repented, she must naturally pay the price for her actions!"
Seeing that Old Master He had changed his mind, Zhang Wan Er let out a silent sigh of relief. Then, she put on a sincere expression and suggested, "Uncle, Dr. Chen, you two can take good care of Auntie He at home. I'll handle Chen Li Shu's matters. I'll also go ask my maternal grandfather and uncles to see if they have any skilled doctors who can help Auntie He overcome this difficulty!"
"Good child, you are a good child! Then these matters will be left to you. If you need anything, call He Zi Nian. He will rush back to your side from the US immediately!" After saying this, Old Master He's eyes instantly turned red, and he waved his hand, ushering Zhang Wan Er out of the room.
Zhang Wan Er was now solely focused on going to the airport to deal with Chen Li Shu. She paid no attention to Old Master He's unusual behavior.
After she left the villa, Old Master He quickly dropped his pitiful demeanor. He then put his hands behind his back and said to Chen Tong, "Then I'll trouble you to send the truth of the matter to the airport and deliver it to He Zi Nian!"
"Alright!" Chen Tong, seeing that the task had fallen to him, cleverly realized that Old Master He was going to deal with another person! This was a plan to clear the house.
Picking up the video tape and various documents, Chen Tong hurried out of the main entrance.
Meng Lei saw this. Although victory was within his grasp, for some reason, he felt uneasy, as if something big was about to happen!
Just as he was about to follow Chen Tong to see what tricks this old man could come up with, Old Master He's voice sounded in his ears, "Your Auntie He is lying in bed, her life uncertain. Aren't you going to go see her?"
Meng Lei was startled by the sudden voice. He quickly put on an appearance of filial piety, his eyes filled with tears, and nodded. "I treat Auntie He like my own mother. With something like this happening, I'm also feeling very complicated. Of course, I have to go see her!"
Soon, the two arrived in the room. When Meng Lei saw Madam He sitting on the bed drinking water as if nothing had happened, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he asked without missing a beat, "Auntie He, you... you don't look sick!"
Old Master He asked with no emotion in his eyes, "You didn't get the result you wanted, are you disappointed to see this scene?"
Meng Lei feigned ignorance, tilted his head, and asked Old Master He, "Uncle He, what are you talking about? I don't seem to understand!"
Old Master He took a deep breath, slapped the table forcefully, and said with a stern face, "If I didn't have enough evidence, do you think I would have invited you here and said all these nonsensical things?
When did you become such a cruel and ruthless person? What did our He family do to wrong you that you would lay hands on her? You know, when your parents were alive, we were close friends, the best of friends!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Lei lowered his head and fell silent. Then, the corners of his mouth curved upwards slightly, and he shook his head with a hint of disdain. "What close friends? It's just becoming hideous, man-eating monsters for the sake of profit!
You still have the audacity to mention my parents! If it weren't for you doing things to my family for your own benefit, how would I have ended up homeless? You're all just liars!
Anyone can mention my parents, but not you! Take back your pretense. It's truly a shame that you old immortal haven't died yet. But don't worry, we'll have more time to play slowly from now on!"
