Chapter 768: Chapter 703: The Zhan Family’s Son Grown Up (Part 2)

Zhan Yunxiao lowered his head and smiled bitterly, speaking in a subdued voice: "Initially, I didn’t want to tell you this because I feared you would think I was making trouble. But since things have come to this, I have no choice but to tell you the truth. Actually, the reason Luoluo and I got married in the first place, and why we wanted to have a child early, was because Mu Chen demanded it."

"Mu Chen demanded it?"

Ye Ningwan was even more surprised, quickly turning her head to look at Zhan Hanjue.

Zhan Hanjue, however, with a deep expression, said, "I knew all along that you were hiding something from us, but I didn’t expect it to be like this?"

"I’m sorry, Mom, Dad, it was I who kept this from you, it’s nothing to do with Xia Luo."

Zhan Yunxiao apologized, taking all the responsibility upon himself.

But how could Xia Luo bear to let him take all the responsibility?

"Mom, Dad, it’s my responsibility, it has nothing to do with Xiao. From the beginning to the end, it was I who implicated Xiao."

"Silly, if I didn’t want to, do you think you could have forced me to marry you?"

Zhan Yunxiao reached out and touched her head, smiling bitterly.

Ye Ningwan awkwardly said, "Could you both stop showing affection and tell us what happened clearly first? Only by knowing the causes and consequences can we find a way to solve the problem." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Zhan Yunxiao and Xia Luo both blushed in embarrassment.

Then, Zhan Yunxiao explained how Mu Chen threatened them and was eager for them to get pregnant to exchange for Qingqing.

"He was so eager for you to get pregnant because he already knew Xia Luo had a Gu Worm in her and wanted it to act sooner."

Ye Ningwan analyzed.

Zhan Yunxiao nodded: "I never understood before why he insisted Luoluo had to get pregnant before releasing that child. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out the reason. Now I finally know. I never expected him to be so malicious. No matter what, Luoluo is his biological sister. How could he do this to her?"

"He doesn’t have brotherly love for me. Since I can remember, he’s only had jealousy and inexplicable hostility towards me. I never understood this hostility, but later he said he hated that I chose to return and snatched his opportunity, leaving him to face that woman alone." Xia Luo said.

She no longer wanted to use the word mother for her mother.

The saying that all parents are blameless is the biggest lie.

She was just pregnant and hadn’t given birth yet but already planned to give everything for her child.

Even her life!

But Feng Qianru, for her purposes, would stop at nothing.

She didn’t care about her own children’s lives, even using them to hurt each other.

Such a person, she truly couldn’t call her mother!

"So you think he might have poisoned you with the Gu Worm out of jealousy? If it really was him, that would be good." Ye Ningwan said.

"I’ll contact him immediately."

Zhan Yunxiao immediately took out his phone.

However, before he could call Mu Chen, Mu Chen’s call came through.

Seeing the caller ID, Zhan Yunxiao paused.

Xia Luo also saw it and immediately grabbed the phone to answer.

"Mu Chen, was it you who poisoned me with the Gu Worm?"

Xia Luo questioned angrily.

There was a sneer from Mu Chen’s side, and he slowly said, "I initially called to remind you, didn’t expect you’d found out. Just learned? Looks like your mother-in-law’s medical skills aren’t that great, discovering only after so many days?"

"Why did you do this?" Xia Luo asked chokingly.

Mu Chen: "You don’t know why I did this? I thought you had understood long ago."

"Just because you’re jealous of me? That’s why you poisoned me like this? Mu Chen, back then I was just a child too. I never thought you yearned to return to the Zhan Family. If I’d known, I certainly wouldn’t have fought with you."

"Xia Luo, is there any point in talking about this now? No matter what, we can’t go back to the way we were."

"What I owe you, you have every right to ask for. But my child did nothing wrong. Brother, I’m begging you, give me the antidote, and I promise you, once the child is born, you can deal with me however you like."

Xia Luo wept and pleaded, even calling him brother, hoping Mu Chen would soften.

Zhan Yunxiao snatched the phone back, angrily saying, "Mu Chen, if you have a problem, come to me. Why make things difficult for Luoluo? If you think the Zhan Family owes you, just name your condition, and I’ll agree to anything."

"Both of you, enough. Do you think begging him like this, he will agree to your terms?"

Ye Ningwan watched them plead with Mu Chen so humbly, both angry and heartbroken, couldn’t help but sternly rebuke.

Mu Chen snorted with a slow laugh: "Madam Zhan, you’re indeed a smart person. You guessed it, didn’t you? I won’t relent just because you’re begging. Do you know how many years I planned and waited for this moment?"

"What do you want?" Zhan Yunxiao asked.

Mu Chen: "My condition is simple, giving Xia Luo the antidote isn’t impossible. However, I want to see someone."

"Who?"

"Zhan Hanjue."

Zhan Yunxiao was stunned, looked at his father in surprise, and the phone slowly slipped from his hand.

Zhan Hanjue and Ye Ningwan, being so close, naturally also heard Mu Chen’s condition.

They were equally shocked, not expecting Mu Chen to make such a condition?

They had thought he might demand Zhan Yunxiao’s life in exchange for Xia Luo’s safety.

Or else, demand Ye Ningwan’s life.

Feng Qianru certainly felt a great unwillingness in losing to her back then.

Though Ye Ningwan never thought she owed Feng Qianru anything.

Yet Feng Qianru stubbornly believed that without Ye Ningwan, Zhan Hanjue would have accepted her.

And if she made a mistake and wanted to turn back, Zhan Hanjue would still be there waiting for her, never changing.

Ye Ningwan’s appearance made Zhan Hanjue change.

So, she hated Ye Ningwan.

Even in death, she wanted revenge.

Mu Chen became her weapon.

It made sense that he’d want her life.

But he wants to see Zhan Hanjue?

This really was beyond everyone’s expectations.
