CHAPTER 323: CHAPTER 323: GAINED WEIGHT AFTER A FEW DAYS APART

"Mr. Wan, the doctor’s book has been obtained."

Li Qingqing returned to Philadelphia to meet Wan Yufeng and report to him.

Wan Yufeng nodded with satisfaction.

In just a few days, he seemed to have aged a little more.

"Today happens to be the day to send them supplies. I’ll have someone deliver the book soon."

"I wonder how far the research has progressed?" Li Qingqing asked cautiously.

Although being with Wan Yufeng was terrifying, Li Qingqing still hoped nothing would happen to him.

After all, with him around, she had a support system.

This was something no one else could provide.

Wan Yufeng was about to answer when he saw a servant rushing in to report to him, "Sir, it’s not good, Madam is causing a scene."

Wan Yufeng immediately stood up and left with a frown.

Li Qingqing wanted to follow but was stopped by the servant.

"Miss Li, you better not go over."

"What’s going on?" Li Qingqing asked.

Li Qingqing frequently moved around the Wan Family, and like others, the servants always suspected her of having an improper relationship with Wan Yufeng.

So when she asked, the servant refused to answer.

Li Qingqing understood their thoughts, snorted coldly, and walked out.

Just then, she bumped into Wan Tianyi coming in.

Wan Tianyi saw her and asked in surprise, "What brings you here suddenly?"

"To deliver something. Where are you off to, young master?" Li Qingqing asked.

Actually, there were quite a few speculations about her and Wan Tianyi outside.

Some even suspected that she was playing the father and son, having both their attentions.

But in fact, she had no relations with them at all.

Wan Yufeng was devoted to his wife, and no matter how beautiful a woman was, she was nothing in his eyes.

As for Wan Tianyi, she also had her doubts.

This Wan Tianyi was about her age, and with her beauty, many men were captivated by her. But why had Wan Tianyi never harbored such thoughts?

He behaved as if she were just another friend, not even a hint of ambiguity.

Over time, Li Qingqing lost any thoughts in that direction, seeing Wan Tianyi just as a common friend.

In fact, they could even chat casually on many occasions.

"I just delivered something to Tianning. That girl insisted on coming home; how could I let her return home now? If she saw the state of the house, she’d surely cry out of worry."

Wan Tianyi rambled on, more like a concerned old father than a brother.

Li Qingqing asked in surprise, "What’s the matter with Mrs. Wan?"

Her curiosity was purely out of gossip.

The identity of Mrs. Wan was too sensitive, so she was really curious about the gossip.

"Some memories have returned. She’s been clamoring to see Ningwan these days, making a fuss all day long. Father doesn’t dare let Tianning know, so he doesn’t allow her to come home. Tianci has also been sent away, to prevent him from seeing his mother’s madness," Wan Tianyi said worriedly.

Li Qingqing had no choice but to comfort him, "Young master, you need not worry too much. Isn’t Chen Wen still around? Let Chen Wen figure out a way."

"We’ve tried; even attempted hypnosis again, but it didn’t work," Wan Tianyi sighed.

Li Qingqing found it hard to comment further.

Wan Tianyi asked, "Do you have more to discuss?"

Li Qingqing nodded, "I still have things I haven’t cleared up with Mr. Wan."

"Forget it for today. Generally, when my mother causes a scene, my father ends up busy all day long. I doubt he’ll have time for you today. You should head back and come by tomorrow."

Li Qingqing had no choice but to bid farewell and leave.

This Wan Yufeng is truly too emotional, isn’t he wasting time this way?

However, she didn’t dare remind Wan Yufeng.

She had witnessed his ruthless side and didn’t want to cross him for no reason.

The next day, Li Qingqing came to find Wan Yufeng again.

But Wan Yufeng was still busy today. When he learned the book hadn’t been sent over yet, he couldn’t help but blame, "I’m busy so you should have sent it over. Why hasn’t it been sent?"

Li Qingqing felt wronged and thought to herself, I would have sent it if I knew the place.

"I forgot you don’t know the place. I’ll have someone take you there. You can also inquire about the progress while you’re at it," Wan Yufeng suddenly remembered she didn’t know the place and said with a stern face.

Li Qingqing nodded.

Wan Yufeng found someone to take Li Qingqing there.

Li Qingqing sat in the car for a long time, aching her waist, before finally reaching the place.

The place was indeed remote. Li Qingqing got out of the car and looked around, finding desolation ahead and behind. The mountains were bare, and there was hardly anyone who would come here. Wan Yufeng hiding people here to refine medicine was indeed not likely to be discovered.

"Miss Li, follow me. It’s just ahead," said the person who brought her.

Li Qingqing nodded and followed him forward.

Further ahead was an old dilapidated temple, with no traces of incense, abandoned for who knows how long.

The servant led Li Qingqing inside and pressed a button, suddenly the left wall cracked open, revealing itself to be a door.

"Please, Miss Li,"

Li Qingqing followed him down a long staircase, fortunately lit on both sides.

However, it was rather dim.

After going down, there was another iron door.

After ringing the bell, a little girl soon came out.

"It’s not supply day, why are you here again?" Tao asked.

The servant said, "Miss Li is here to deliver something; get your Miss Bai to come and get it!"

"It’s the doctor’s book," Li Qingqing reminded.

Tao nodded and quickly went to inform Ningwan.

Ningwan heard that Li Qingqing had come to deliver the doctor’s book, raised an eyebrow, put down her work immediately, and went over.

Li Qingqing, seeing that the iron door was still shut, asked the servant, "Aren’t we opening the door?"

"We can’t open it. The master has instructed that no one is allowed to open this door."

"Then how are we supposed to give her the book?" Li Qingqing asked.

The servant pressed a protrusion beside him, revealing a small compartment.

"Put the book in here, and they can get it."

"It’s really locked up tight, not giving her a chance to escape," Li Qingqing chuckled.

Ningwan came over soon.

Li Qingqing sarcastically said, "Seems like you’re doing quite well here, haven’t seen you in days, and you’ve put on some weight."

"Yes, with food and drink, why wouldn’t I be well? But look at you, having traveled to Tong City and back, you’ve visibly lost weight," Ningwan replied with a light-hearted smile.

Li Qingqing gritted her teeth in anger, "Ye Ningwan, you’re already a prisoner here, what are you so smug about?"

"I’m not smug, where am I smug?" Ningwan shrugged with a grating expression.

Li Qingqing got angrier, just seeing her smug face fueled her anger.

"Miss Li, you better give her the book quickly!" the servant reminded.

Unwillingly, Li Qingqing placed the book in the compartment.

Ningwan picked it up, flipped through it, and laughed.

Li Qingqing coldly asked, "What are you laughing at? Is something wrong?"

"Oh, it’s perfect, this is the right book. Thank you for going through all the trouble to deliver it,"

"How’s your progress going? Mr. Wan can’t wait forever. If there’s no effect, you might all end up trapped here indefinitely," Li Qingqing threatened.

Ningwan said, "With this book, the progress will be quick, just wait and see!"

Saying that, Ningwan turned and left with the book.

Sure enough, the Xie Family has talents. A book she made up casually was produced so quickly.

It was real enough to even fool Li Qingqing.
