Chapter 742: Investigating
Auntie Lan’s 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.
“Why did they do this to me?” Auntie Lan muttered.
“Mom, what’s going on?”Jing Tian squatted down and asked gently.
“Yes, Auntie Lan. Tell us what’s going on. Who bullied you?”
After a long while, Auntie Lan finally stopped crying, she pulled Jing Tian and me by the hand. “Forget it. It’s not important anymore. I’m fine now and that’s more important. Jing Tian, Nanxing, it’s not easy for the two of you to be together. I’m very happy now. This is enough. I don’t want anything else. I can’t be too greedy.”
I placed my other hand on Auntie Lan’s hand. “Auntie Lan, you have to believe in Mr. Li. If he says that he can cure you, he will definitely cure you. Let’s not worry about how you were poisoned. Let’s take care of your body first. As for the rest, let’s take it slow, okay?”
Auntie Lan reached out to pat my head. “Okay. You’re very sensible. I’m very relieved that Jing Tian has you.”
She turned to Jing Tian. “Son, let’s not pursue this matter. Mom has just thought things through. Mom will be fine. We’ll just focus on curing it. As for the poisoner... forget it. Let’s not pursue this matter. Promise me.”
Jing Tian’s expression was tense. “Mom, did your brothers and sisters or other family members do something to you?”
Auntie Lan shook her head slightly. “It doesn’t matter anymore.”
“Mom...” Jing Tian tried to persuade her.
Auntie Lan’s expression turned cold. “I said it doesn’t matter anymore. Won’t you listen to me?”
Jing Tian was about to say something, but I stopped him immediately. “Alright, Auntie Lan, we’ll listen to you. If you say we won’t pursue the matter, we won’t. Let’s treat your illness first, okay? Your health is more important than anything else!”
Auntie Lan finally revealed a smile, but there was an unconcealable bitterness in her smile.
I gave Jing Tian a meaningful glance. Jing Tian didn’t ask any more questions.
Auntie Lan said, “I’m a little tired. You can go out and accompany the guests. They’re all your friends. Go and entertain them and apologize for me, okay?”
I stood up. “Alright, Auntie Lan. You should rest well. Jing Tian and I will go out first. We’ll start treating the poison tomorrow.”
Auntie Lan hesitated for a moment before nodding with a smile. “Good girl. Don’t worry.”
I pulled Jing Tian out of the room.
Jing Tian said gloomily, “Nanxing, don’t you think there’s something wrong with my mother?”
I nodded. Even a fool could tell. “Auntie Lan is hiding something. She doesn’t want to tell us.”
Jing Tian said angrily, “She must know who poisoned her. Why won’t she tell me? I Won’t let them off easily!”
I looked at Jing Tian and said softly, “That’s what Auntie Lan is afraid of. She doesn’t want you to hurt them.”
Jing Tian furrowed his brows. “It seems that the culprit is really my mother’s siblings.”
I nodded slightly. “That’s why she chose to let the matter rest.”
Jing Tian snorted coldly. “Hmph! My mom can let it go, but I can’t! If I find out who the culprit it, I won’t spare them! I don’t care who they are!”
