Chapter 30: I Can Make Her Die a Second Time!-Mimada ao Extremo! Depois de Renascida, Fico Indomável nos Braços do Senhor Lu(Ser uma pessoa tranquila)

“Uncle Qi, take Grandpa for a full check-up. He’s stable for now. Send me a copy of the report once it’s ready, and then we’ll decide on the treatment plan,” Chu Wan Ning said solemnly.

“All right, Old Master, please come with me,” Qi Gui replied.

“Grandpa, once the check-up is done, return to the old residence. Wan Wan and I will come to see you tomorrow,” Lu Si Yan said with a hint of sharpness; he sensed this matter was far from simple.

“Okay!” The old master, sensing something was amiss, obediently agreed.

“Take care, Grandpa!” Lu Si Qing said, worry evident in her voice.

“All right, all right, be good now!” The old master was helped into the car by Lu Yun and Qi Gui, heading straight to Lu Corporation Hospital.

After seeing the old master off, Lu Si Yan immediately pulled Chu Wan Ning into the study. Lu Si Qing, understanding the gravity, quietly followed Lu Bei to prepare for bed.

“I’m not exactly sure what kind of poison is in Grandpa’s system yet, but all the symptoms are cause for alarm—coughing, fever, body aches, and they come in cycles. Most doctors would simply treat it as a common cold or fever. By the time the signs are truly noticed, it’s usually too late to save the person,” Chu Wan Ning said, her gaze sharp and full of hatred, as if she wanted to lash out at whoever was responsible. The cruelty was unimaginable.

The old master was very important to Lu Si Yan. Through this interaction, Chu Wan Ning could feel that Lu Si Yan held no negative feelings toward him. Even Qing Bao was fond of the old man.

There must be some deeper family secrets involved. Since it concerned the Lu family’s private matters, she couldn’t inquire too much for now. But if anyone dared to harm those she cared about, they must be prepared to face the consequences.

“Can Wan Wan detoxify him?” Lu Si Yan asked cautiously.

Qi Gui had missed the poison, so other doctors surely did as well.

Since having Chu Wan Ning by his side, Lu Si Yan had to reconsider Qi Gui’s competence. How could he fail to detect all these poisons? Was the toxin too potent, or was he just incompetent?

Qi Gui, now inside the hospital, felt an inexplicable unease.

“We found it relatively early. If it had been another month...” Chu Wan Ning didn’t need to finish her sentence; Lu Si Yan understood perfectly.

“Thank you, my dear wife!” Lu Si Yan pulled her tightly into his arms, grateful once again that he had brought such a formidable woman home first.

“Check the old residence. This poison is slow-acting; whoever administered it is definitely still there,” Chu Wan Ning suggested.

“All right! I’ll handle it. Are you tired today? Do you want to rest?” Lu Si Yan’s voice was low and incredibly alluring.

Chu Wan Ning instinctively shielded her waist.

“How about you sleep in the guest room tonight? We have to treat Grandpa tomorrow—I need to conserve my energy!” she proposed seriously.

Lu Si Yan wasn’t about to agree.

He looked at her with a look full of mock grievance.

“Then how about a quiet night tonight?”

“Three times!”

“I’ll sleep in the guest room!”

“One time, no less, my wife!” He insisted. After all, if Grandpa could be saved, he should add more heirs to the Lu family—even if precautions were in place.

“Fine! I give in!” Chu Wan Ning admitted defeat.

“Come on, let me help you wash up!”

“All right, let me carry you, my wife!”

...

Chu Family Villa.

“Brother Qiu, I saw Chu Wan Ning today! Her aura is different, but that face is unmistakable!” Fang Hong Yu said as he stood behind Qiu Dian, massaging his shoulders.

Click!

The cigar in Qiu Dian’s hand dropped to the floor. He was horrified. “What did you say? Didn’t they confirm she was dead?”

Ever since he allowed Fang Hong Yu to deal with her, he hadn’t slept well, haunted by dreams of Chu Xi appearing and accusing him of breaking his promises, cursing him to a miserable end.

Now, hearing that Chu Wan Ning was still alive, he was terrified.

“They said they cleaned up the yacht situation. If only I had seen it myself. Now Chu Wan Ning’s shares in the Chu Corporation belong to you. She’s not your daughter. If she finds out in the future, she might just kick you out!” Fang Hong Yu continued to stir the pot.

So what if she’s not dead? If she could be killed once, she could be killed again. Such foolishness.

Hearing that she wasn’t his daughter, all Qiu Dian felt was anger.

Outsiders thought he and Chu Xi were a loving couple; no one knew they never shared a bed.

Still, he was grateful to Chu Xi for always helping him keep up appearances. After her disappearance and presumed death, he brought Fang Hong Yu home to “take care of” Chu Wan Ning, and outside, everyone praised him.

Seeing Qiu Dian silent, Fang Hong Yu pressed on, “I saw her driving a car worth several million today. What do you think of that?”

He left the sentence hanging, tempting curiosity.

“Mom, Dad, I’m home!” Qiu Yuan Yuan entered, decked out in designer clothes. “Mom, who did you say was driving a multi-million car?”

“Chu Wan Ning! That bitch!”

“Who?” Qiu Yuan Yuan screamed.

“What’s all this fuss about? Off at some bar again?” Qiu Dian snapped at her.

Fang Hong Yu saw Qiu Dian was genuinely angry and quickly put on a pitiful act.

“Brother Qiu, why yell at Yuan Yuan just now? She knows nothing. Growing up without a father, she’s suffered enough scorn and bullying already. You...” Fang Hong Yu said.

Qiu Dian realized his tone had been too harsh.

“You’re home now, go wash up and get to bed. Dad was in a bad mood earlier. Tomorrow, I’ll give you a card to buy some clothes.”

Qiu Yuan Yuan’s face lit up—getting scolded more often was fine if it meant more shopping.

“If she’s not dead, let her come back. But if she does anything disgraceful, punishment won’t be enough,” Qiu Dian said.

“Brother Qiu, leave it to me. Let’s go upstairs to sleep!” Fang Hong Yu said, pulling Qiu Dian up.

Only then did Qiu Yuan Yuan fully grasp it. Chu Wan Ning was alive! How could that be? Her plan was flawless.

She had been telling everyone Chu Wan Ning had stolen money and run off, never to return.

She was certain Chu Wan Ning would never come back.

And now they’re telling her she’s alive.

“Mom!” She desperately wanted to find out the truth.

Fang Hong Yu shot her a warning glance and shook her head.

She nodded firmly. Yes! With Mom on her side, what was there to fear?

Chu Wan Ning’s mother was no match for her own. That foolish daughter was nothing to worry about. At worst, she could plan again!

With that thought, her good mood returned.

Tonight, she was out with Chu Wan Ning’s longtime crush!

Unexpectedly, the seemingly gentle man was quite the player.

Whatever Chu Wan Ning wanted, she intended to snatch it all—Chu Corporation, Dad, the man she liked, everything.

She swung her purse and happily returned to her room.

At the door, she suddenly remembered Mom’s comment about a multi-million car. There was no way Chu Wan Ning could afford such a car—she didn’t even have money for a shared bike!

Mom must be getting old and losing her eyesight!

Qiu Yuan Yuan collapsed onto the bed, falling fast asleep, slightly tipsy.
