Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 438: He Qingping’s Motive

Ningwan couldn’t figure out why He Qingping came to the house and chatted with Old Mrs. Zhan.

Weren’t the two of them enemies?

When did they become so close?

However, once she went inside, she understood He Qingping’s true intentions.

"Just stay here. This is your home, stay and live here." Old Mrs. Zhan kept holding Ms. He’s hand, repeating.

He Qingping nodded, responding gently, "Don’t worry, I will stay and come to visit you often."

"Good, good." Old Mrs. Zhan laughed happily.

He Qingping looked at Ningwan and gave her a slight smile.

Ningwan returned the smile.

When they both came out from Old Mrs. Zhan’s place, Ningwan was the first to speak: "Grandma now can’t remember many people and many things. Sometimes she forgets what she’s just said in a blink. So, Ms. He, you don’t have to take it too seriously or feel burdened."

"Though Old Mrs. Zhan is old and seems muddled, she understands everything at heart. Although she doesn’t remember a lot of people and things, she still remembers me. Later on, out of guilt towards me, she remembered me so deeply. I did resent her in the past, but that was decades ago. Looking back, I realize I was wrong in many ways. Since she wants me to stay, I shouldn’t let the old lady down. I will stay for a few days to accompany her, though I don’t know how long I can be with her. Such a small request, you wouldn’t refuse it, would you!" He Qingping sighed.

Ningwan chuckled softly, "Ms. He, you really are quick to use moral coercion."

He Qingping’s face froze, not expecting Ningwan to speak so bluntly.

Feeling both embarrassed and angry, she said with a stern face, "Miss Ye, your words are a bit too much. No matter what, I am Hanjue’s mother, and speaking to me like that is truly ill-mannered."

"You’re right, I grew up without a father or mother, and the family wouldn’t take me in, so I was sent away at a young age. Therefore, I indeed lack manners. So, you don’t need to bind me with manners, let’s just talk about the matters at hand and be honest. Why do you so much want to stay? It wasn’t easy for Zhan Hanjue and me to reach where we are today; we’ve gone through many hardships. So, I cherish the peaceful life I have with him now. If anyone wants to ruin it, even if you are his biological mother, I won’t agree. After all, you are not my biological mother." Ningwan said with a smile.

He Qingping’s face became extremely ugly.

As the saying goes: the soft fears the hard, the hard fears the reckless, the reckless fears those who fear nothing.

Ningwan’s words were so rogue, it was like someone who feared nothing.

For people like her, moral coercion seemed to have no effect.

After a long thought, He Qingping spoke with a heavy heart.

"I do want to live here, and I’m impatient to stay. Because Yan Shouyi refuses to divorce, and he doesn’t know I have returned to Jiangcheng, so he’s looking for me everywhere. But he’ll soon find me and take me back. I don’t want to go back with him, but living outside, he’ll find a way to take me away. Only by staying in the Zhan Family, with their security, I can be protected from being forcefully taken. I didn’t want to say all this, it’s too embarrassing, at my age, still needing my son’s protection. I’m also afraid of what Hanjue would think. Since you forced me to say it, I’ll tell you, but please don’t tell Hanjue, can you?"

"But avoiding him forever is not a solution, you have to resolve this issue." Ningwan said.

He Qingping choked up, "You don’t understand him at all, if communication were possible, would I have to run away? There’s simply no communication, his possessiveness over me is more terrifying than you can imagine."

"Don’t you have another son? That child has already grown up. Doesn’t he have any thoughts on this matter?"

"You mean Yan Rui? Yan Rui used to be very close to me, but ever since he found out that I also had another son, Hanjue, he’s become quite distant from me. In this matter, he’s on the same side as his father, eager for his father to take me back."

Ningwan frowned, falling silent for a moment.

He Qingping was about to make another request when Mrs. Chen came out hurriedly and said to Ningwan, "Young Madam, it’s not good, Old Mrs. Zhan is demanding to see Ms. He."

Ningwan frowned.

He Qingping quickly said, "I’ll go there immediately."

Ningwan could only watch as she returned to Old Mrs. Zhan’s side.

They ended up chatting for more than half the day; it was already late.

Zhan Hanjue came back, and He Qingping still hadn’t left.

Ningwan told Zhan Hanjue about He Qingping’s situation, and Zhan Hanjue frowned after hearing it.

"Have you asked someone to investigate? Any results yet?" Ningwan asked.

Zhan Hanjue shook his head, "No results yet, but her words may not be reliable. If you don’t want her to stay, I’ll have the driver take her back later. At worst, we can arrange a couple of bodyguards for her, that’s all I can do. She chose the person back then, and whatever the result, she should face it herself. Besides, they are a couple with an already adult son, I doubt Yan Shouyi will truly do anything to her."

"I’m not that petty as to not accommodate her. The reason I refuse her stay is mainly for your sake. I’m afraid her insistence on returning might have ulterior motives. However, if you’re not afraid, then it doesn’t matter to me." Ningwan said while wrapping her arms around his waist.

Zhan Hanjue laughed lightly, also holding her shoulders, and gazing at her affectionately, "I know you’re doing it for my sake. But whatever her motives, it won’t affect me much. I’m mostly concerned if you’re unhappy, traditionally mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law don’t get along well, so if you don’t like her living here, I definitely won’t make you unhappy."

"I’m not idle with nothing better to do, quarreling with her at home all day. I’m also very busy, treating patients every day, it’s no less stressful than you." Ningwan said proudly.

"Yes, yes, our home’s Divine Doctor is so busy every day, naturally you wouldn’t pay attention to these matters. Since that’s the case, let her do whatever she wants. I’ll have the household keep an extra eye on her, as long as she’s under our watch, it should be fine." Zhan Hanjue said.

Ningwan nodded.

Soon, she remembered the matter that Leng Ziqing had approached her about.

So, she told Zhan Hanjue about it.

Zhan Hanjue frowned after hearing it, "What do you plan to do?"

"What else can I do? Of course, I’ll treat her and prescribe medicine for her conditioning. Even though I don’t like your aunt, I’m a doctor and can’t forget my duties. Even if it were my enemy, I can’t stand by and watch someone die without helping. At most, during treatment, I’ll make them suffer a bit more. The reason I haven’t agreed immediately is that I was thinking of asking for some benefits. So I wanted to ask you if there’s any area you need Leng Ziqing’s help in, feel free to mention it now, she’s bound to agree." Ningwan said with a smile.
