Auntie Lanâs expression was complicated, sorrowful, and unbelievable.
Jing Tian and I exchanged a glance and called Jing Ni over. Jing Ni gathered everyone while we accompanied Auntie Lan to rest.
Back in the room, Auntie Lan covered her face and wept.
âWhy did they do this to me?â Auntie Lan muttered.
âMom, whatâs going on?âJing Tian squatted down and asked gently.
âYes, Auntie Lan. Tell us whatâs going on. Who bullied you?â
After a long while, Auntie Lan finally stopped crying, she pulled Jing Tian and me by the hand. âForget it. Itâs not important anymore. Iâm fine now and thatâs more important. Jing Tian, Nanxing, itâs not easy for the two of you to be together. Iâm very happy now. This is enough. I donât want anything else. I canât be too greedy.â
I placed my other hand on Auntie Lanâs hand. âAuntie Lan, you have to believe in Mr. Li. If he says that he can cure you, he will definitely cure you. Letâs not worry about how you were poisoned. Letâs take care of your body first. As for the rest, letâs take it slow, okay?â
Auntie Lan reached out to pat my head. âOkay. Youâre very sensible. Iâm very relieved that Jing Tian has you.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She turned to Jing Tian. âSon, letâs not pursue this matter. Mom has just thought things through. Mom will be fine. Weâll just focus on curing it. As for the poisoner... forget it. Letâs not pursue this matter. Promise me.â
Jing Tianâs expression was tense. âMom, did your brothers and sisters or other family members do something to you?â
Auntie Lan shook her head slightly. âIt doesnât matter anymore.â
âMom...â Jing Tian tried to persuade her.
Auntie Lanâs expression turned cold. âI said it doesnât matter anymore. Wonât you listen to me?â
Jing Tian was about to say something, but I stopped him immediately. âAlright, Auntie Lan, weâll listen to you. If you say we wonât pursue the matter, we wonât. Letâs treat your illness first, okay? Your health is more important than anything else!â
Auntie Lan finally revealed a smile, but there was an unconcealable bitterness in her smile.
I gave Jing Tian a meaningful glance. Jing Tian didnât ask any more questions.
Auntie Lan said, âIâm a little tired. You can go out and accompany the guests. Theyâre all your friends. Go and entertain them and apologize for me, okay?â
I stood up. âAlright, Auntie Lan. You should rest well. Jing Tian and I will go out first. Weâll start treating the poison tomorrow.â
Auntie Lan hesitated for a moment before nodding with a smile. âGood girl. Donât worry.â
I pulled Jing Tian out of the room.
Jing Tian said gloomily, âNanxing, donât you think thereâs something wrong with my mother?â
I nodded. Even a fool could tell. âAuntie Lan is hiding something. She doesnât want to tell us.â
Jing Tian said angrily, âShe must know who poisoned her. Why wonât she tell me? I Wonât let them off easily!â
I looked at Jing Tian and said softly, âThatâs what Auntie Lan is afraid of. She doesnât want you to hurt them.â
Jing Tian furrowed his brows. âIt seems that the culprit is really my motherâs siblings.â
I nodded slightly. âThatâs why she chose to let the matter rest.â
Jing Tian snorted coldly. âHmph! My mom can let it go, but I canât! If I find out who the culprit it, I wonât spare them! I donât care who they are!â
