Chapter 767: Chapter 703: The Zhan Family’s Son Grown Up

Zhan Yunxiao was brought home drunk.

Ye Ningwan saw his state and immediately frowned, asking, "Why did you drink so much?"

"I didn’t expect your son to be so fond of alcohol. Who knows how much he drank to get this drunk?" Zhan Hanjue sneered.

Ye Ningwan: "It doesn’t sound like you’re talking about your son. But how do we talk when he’s this drunk? Quickly give him some sobering soup and a cold shower to wake him up."

"So rough?"

Zhan Hanjue was surprised.

"It’s a matter of life and death. Do you think it shouldn’t be rough?"

Ye Ningwan countered.

Zhan Hanjue nodded, and immediately had a servant bring the sobering soup and forced it down Zhan Yunxiao’s throat.

He then personally carried his son to the bathroom, switched to cold water, and used the shower head to douse his head.

"Ah."

Zhan Yunxiao screamed.

"Awake now?"

Zhan Hanjue threw down the shower head.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Zhan Yunxiao, drenched and shivering from the cold, asked in disbelief.

Zhan Hanjue: "It’s not me who wants to treat you this way; your mom told me to wake you up. I can’t help it. Now that you’re awake, quickly take a hot shower and come out. Your mom wants to talk to you about Xia Luo."

"I told you, I don’t want to talk about it right now."

Zhan Yunxiao said, frowning.

Zhan Hanjue snorted coldly, "That’s not up to you, and your mom has made a new discovery. Aren’t you curious?"

With that, Zhan Hanjue left the bathroom.

Zhan Yunxiao frowned.

A new discovery?

Is it about Xia Luo’s condition?

Thinking of this, he quickly peeled off his clothes, took a hot shower, and rushed out at the fastest speed.

Xia Luo was already called to the living room, and there were some snacks placed in front of her.

"Eat something! I know you’re hungry," Ye Ningwan said gently.

Xia Luo shook her head, "I don’t want to eat, thank you, Mom."

She was indeed very hungry, but her sadness made it hard for her to eat anything.

Zhan Yunxiao came over, toweling his hair, and seeing Xia Luo’s reaction pained him.

She was clearly hungry, but she couldn’t eat because of their quarrel, and she was sad.

He used to be angry at her for not taking care of herself because of Fang Qingyang.

But now, seeing her like this, he only felt heartache.

"I’m sorry, Luoluo, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have argued with you."

Zhan Yunxiao walked over and sat beside Xia Luo, immediately apologizing as soon as he spoke.

Ye Ningwan and Zhan Hanjue turned away, unable to bear seeing their son in such an undignified state.

"You don’t need to apologize to me. It’s not your fault; it’s my problem," Xia Luo said softly.

"No, it’s my problem. I shouldn’t have misunderstood you, and I definitely shouldn’t have gone out drinking, leaving you alone at home."

Zhan Yunxiao continued to apologize.

Ye Ningwan: "Can you both apologize later? Listen to me first?"

Zhan Yunxiao and Xia Luo blushed, nodded simultaneously, and sat quietly like obedient schoolchildren, waiting for Ye Ningwan to speak.

"Very good."

Ye Ningwan nodded with relief, seeing how well-behaved they were.

Then, she told them everything about Jin Yingzi’s discovery without missing a single word.

After explaining, she seriously said, "So, Xia Luo, I know you don’t want to give up the child. But now, it’s not up to you. If you don’t give up this child, it will cost you your life. In the end, Xiao might lose both you and the child."

"Luoluo, you can’t leave me."

Zhan Yunxiao held Xia Luo’s hand, choked up and his eyes reddened.

Xia Luo also looked shocked.

She had thought of hormone imbalances, thought her body might be weak, and even considered it as the aftereffects of being tormented by You Mei.

But she never thought she was poisoned?

"You’re saying I was poisoned, with the Gu Poison?" Xia Luo asked.

Ye Ningwan nodded, "It should have been in your body for years and was triggered by the pregnancy."

Earlier, Zhan Yunxiao was too distraught to think carefully about his mother’s words when he heard the possibility of losing Xia Luo.

Now, calming down, he frowned and asked quietly, "Since it’s poisoning, is there a way to detoxify?"

"Yingzi said only the person who cast the Gu knows the antidote. If I’m not wrong, it could have been Xia Luo’s mother who cast it, but she has passed away, so there is no cure," Ye Ningwan said.

"It might not have been her. There’s also another person who might have done it."

Xia Luo spoke in a low voice.

Zhan Yunxiao nodded, looking at Xia Luo.

The two simultaneously voiced a name.

"Mu Chen."

"Mu Chen?" Ye Ningwan frowned, "How do you know it was him who cast the Gu? If it was him, it might be easier to handle, as he is still alive, and there might be a way to detoxify."
