CHAPTER 225: CHAPTER 225: I JUST LOVE YOU TOO MUCH

"Greedy and insatiable." Mr. Zhan looked at Li Qingqing with disgust.

Li Qingqing laughed wildly upon hearing this.

"Greedy and insatiable? Great, that’s exactly the right description. I am greedy and insatiable. At first, all I wanted was to marry you. But now, I don’t just want to marry you; I want us to be a real couple, harmonious in every way. Just agree to this one condition, and I’ll be satisfied, and won’t ask for more."

As she spoke, Li Qingqing lunged at Zhan Hanjue again.

However, the man dodged her.

With a cold face, he looked at her and said firmly, "Impossible."

"Zhan Hanjue," Li Qingqing screamed hysterically, threatening, "If you don’t agree with me, I’ll reveal that matter to Ye Ningwan. I believe once she knows, she’ll give it her all; she won’t just stand by."

"You dare."

Fueled with anger, Zhan Hanjue grabbed her by the throat, wishing he could strangle this woman.

Li Qingqing’s neck was slender, famously referred to as a rare ’swan neck’ in the entertainment circle.

Many men coveted her neck, longing to get close to her.

However, despite her beautiful neck, Zhan Hanjue treated it like garbage.

"If you have the guts, go ahead and strangle me. You can’t kill me, and if you won’t agree to my demands, I will surely tell her." Li Qingqing said with a cruel smile.

Zhan Hanjue took a deep breath and forcefully pushed her away.

If killing her could solve the problem, he would have already done it.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t.

"Li Qingqing, I’m not killing you, you should know the reason. Being a harmonious couple with you is impossible, but if you dare to reveal anything to Ye Ningwan, I will make you understand what it means to live a fate worse than death." Zhan Hanjue coldly stated.

Li Qingqing shivered.

Her earlier hardness instantly turned into fragility.

"Hanjue, I really just love you too much; everything I’ve done is out of love for you."

"I don’t need your love, get lost."

"Hanjue..."

"Get lost."

Li Qingqing bit her lip and had no choice but to leave reluctantly and angrily.

After she left, Zhan Hanjue rubbed his temples in frustration.

He recalled when he first met Li Qingqing, timidly following Wen Daofu, coming over to see his grandmother.

Originally, this memory was vague and long forgotten, but at this moment, it became clear again.

However, now he only regretted glancing in her direction, which got her attention.

The cause of today’s troubles lay in those past moments.

"How’s the progress?"

The man took a deep breath, distancing himself from thoughts of past events, and made a call on his phone.

Jin Yingzi’s voice answered, sounding low, "I’ve done my best, but I’ll need a bit more time. I suggest asking Mr. Wen for help in this matter. He’s an expert in this area; with his help, we’ll certainly achieve more with less effort and expedite the research."

"But he’s related to Li Qingqing."

"Rest assured, after the incident with Li Weiluo, Mr. Wen will not help Li Qingqing. Wen Jianan hates Li Qingqing deeply and won’t assist her." Jin Yingzi said.

"Alright, leave this matter to you." the man responded.

Jin Yingzi agreed and after hanging up the phone, went straight to find Wen Daofu.

However, in the past two days, Wen Daofu hadn’t been to school,

apparently dealing with some hospital-related issues, keeping him busy over there.

Approaching directly like this, Wen Daofu might not be willing to see her.

Thinking briefly, she chose to find Wen Jianan first, hoping that he would take her over.

"Why are you looking for him?" Wen Jianan asked, frowning.

Jin Yingzi said, "I need Mr. Wen’s help to research a medicine. Class president, please take me over there, I can’t enter Wen’s Hospital without an appointment."

"What kind of medicine? Tell me; maybe I can help." Wen Jianan said.

Jin Yingzi furrowed her brows in silence.

Wen Jianan said angrily, "Why, you think I can’t?"

"I didn’t say you can’t." Jin Yingzi quickly replied.

Then she muttered softly, "A man can’t casually admit he can’t."

Wen Jianan: "..."

"You tell me first, if I truly don’t know, then I’ll take you over. If you don’t tell me, I absolutely won’t take you there."

"Alright, can you formulate the recipe on this list?" Jin Yingzi handed him a piece of paper for him to see.

Wen Jianan glanced at it and furrowed his brow deeply, "What’s written here? How can these ingredients be combined? They’ll become poison?"

"Exactly, so it needs to be refined; if done well, it’ll be an antidote. If not, it’s poison. Everything in nature is interrelated and neutralizes each other; the principles of Chinese medicine are indeed like this. Class president, you should understand this well." Jin Yingzi said.

"Ye Ningwan, take a look yourself! I can’t make sense of it." Wen Jianan suddenly called out.

Jin Yingzi was taken aback and quickly looked over.

Wen Jianan was looking in another direction, and soon Ye Ningwan came out from there.

Jin Yingzi was surprised, "Miss Ye, why are you here too?"

Ye Ningwan said, "I’ve come to seek the truth, since you wouldn’t tell me the truth on the phone, I could only wait here and find out."

As she spoke, she reached over to take the paper from Wen Jianan’s hand. The more she read, the more shocked she became, her brow furrowing deeper.

"Gu Poison?" Ye Ningwan murmured.

Jin Yingzi bit her lip, "If Mr. Zhan finds out it leaked from me, he’ll definitely drive me away."

"So, this is why he didn’t want me to know," Ye Ningwan murmured again.

Jin Yingzi said, "So Miss Ye, can you pretend not to know? I’ll strive to do well in this matter, I certainly can."

"Didn’t you say you had to support your parents, your brothers and sisters, what would happen to them if something happened to you?" Ye Ningwan asked.

Jin Yingzi chuckled bitterly, "Mr. Zhan will treat them well, I have no worries about that."

"Having someone else take care of them is never as reassuring as doing it yourself; you should stay and take good care of your family. You don’t need to worry about this matter, leave it to me."

"No way, if Mr. Zhan finds out..."

"Then don’t tell him, just act as if I don’t know anything about this matter, isn’t that fine?" Ye Ningwan said.

Jin Yingzi: "..."

"You go find Mr. Wen, but honestly, I don’t think it’d do any good. He’s not familiar with this area, even I’m not, but I have a way. You do your own thing, don’t mind me. Wen Jianan, thanks."

Ye Ningwan then spoke to Jin Yingzi, thanked Wen Jianan, and prepared to leave.

Wen Jianan hurriedly said, "Don’t forget your promise to me."

"Don’t worry, I remember. Once the matter is settled, I’ll inform you."

With that, Ye Ningwan left briskly.

Feeling relieved at her assurance, Wen Jianan relaxed.

Jin Yingzi, however, frowned tightly, questioning Wen Jianan, "What did you have Miss Ye promise you? You’re not still holding onto hope, are you, wanting something to happen with Miss Ye... or what?"
