When Gu Yunting returned to the Gu residence that evening, Jin Lan also arrived. After greeting Ye Wan, the two went upstairs to the study, their mysterious demeanor making Ye Wan curious about what they were plotting.
While Ye Wan was wondering downstairs, Jiang Jingxiu arrived. After greeting Ye Wan, he went upstairs.
Ye Wan: "..."
All three of them were gathered.
...
In the study.
All three of them were there for the poison in Gu Yunting's body. Luo Su had injected him with a poison, using it to threaten Gu Yunting into serving the forces behind Luo Su. To escape Luo Su's control, he could only develop the antidote himself.
Jin Lan said that the laboratory for developing the antidote had already begun, but it would take at least a month to develop it.
This was in the most optimistic scenario. If things didn't go smoothly, it might take even longer.
"Brother, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Jiang Jingxiu asked worriedly.
"Occasionally weak, no other feelings," Gu Yunting replied indifferently. He hadn't feared death before, but now that he had Ye Wan, he didn't want to die. He wanted to grow old with her.
"Jin Lan, have you figured out what kind of poison this is? What happens to a person if there's no antidote?" Jiang Jingxiu looked at Jin Lan. He had been researching for several days, so he should have some results by now.
"Mo Zu. Once afflicted with this poison, an antidote is needed once a month, otherwise, one will become completely weak and eventually turn into a vegetative state. This poison is extremely destructive to bodily functions and the brain. I don't think Old Bastard Luo Su's goal is to take Brother Ting's life." Jin Lan also found it very troublesome. He had already summoned the world's top drug researchers to urgently develop an antidote, but it would still take some time.
"That Old Bastard Luo Su, once Brother Ting's poison is cured, I will personally kill him!" Jiang Jingxiu said furiously.
Gu Yunting suddenly raised his hand to stop their conversation. He heard Ye Wan's footsteps. Sure enough, a few seconds later, Ye Wan walked to the door with coffee and said, "I asked the butler to make you coffee. Do you want some now?"
"Of course, thank you, Xiao Wan." Jin Lan had already put on a smiling face, as if they were just casually discussing the weather.
"Ye Wan, I think you're being ungracious. Doesn't Brother treat you well? You didn't even tell me about such great news as having a daughter." Jiang Jingxiu walked forward with a smile and reached out to pinch her cheek.
Ye Wan's eyes widened as she looked at him. Fortunately, Gu Yunting rescued her, otherwise Jiang Jingxiu would have pinched her face off!
"Talk properly, don't be handsy." Gu Yunting took the coffee Ye Wan brought and handed it to Jin Lan, then pulled her inside first.
Jiang Jingxiu: "..."
As expected, he prioritized love over friendship!
"What daughter are you talking about? You have a daughter, is it true?" Jin Lan was a little disbelieving.
"Ask her. She's a heartless little thing." Jiang Jingxiu picked up a cup of coffee, took a sip, and sat down to the side.
"I didn't do it on purpose either. Jiang Mi told me to keep it a secret. She was afraid to tell you, afraid you wouldn't like Mian Mian," Ye Wan said weakly.
"Mian Mian? Your daughter? You really have a daughter! Damn it, brother, how many lifetimes of good deeds have you accumulated to have a daughter!" Jin Lan looked at Jiang Jingxiu excitedly, truly envious.
