Chapter 966 - 964: Sickly Heiress 9

In the restaurant, Xia Jingsheng warmly hosted Yun Xiuzhi.

After finishing the meal, they talked about Lian Yang’s situation. As long as the mother and son agreed, they could go to Jing City for treatment tomorrow.

Lian Yang and Yun Xiuzhi exchanged a glance, both understanding each other’s thoughts. Lian Yang said, "The current situation is actually okay. The mid-term exams are next week, and they count towards the final grades. I want to wait until after the mid-term exams to go to Jing City for a check-up."

"It’s not a long time, so that works." Xia Jingsheng said, "How about this, I’ll have people ready, so if anything unexpected happens, you can head to Jing City at any time. How about that, Lian Yang’s mom?"

Yun Xiuzhi naturally agreed, she was of course concerned about her son.

If nothing could be found, they could only rely on hospital equipment.

Having discussed the matters, Lian Yang followed Yun Xiuzhi to the hotel. With Xia Jingsheng’s arrangement, of course, Yun Xiuzhi was not neglected.

Ah Chen followed Xia Jingsheng back home; it was just the right time for her to have a medical check-up.

They hadn’t seen their daughter for a few days, and now Lian Yang had contracted a strange illness. Xia Jingsheng feared an accident and decided to take his daughter back to comfort her.

First, they went to check the mark on her face, and upon learning that it indeed had not grown, Xia Jingsheng truly breathed a sigh of relief.

If it continued to grow, it might have covered her whole face, and he wouldn’t have known how his daughter could endure it. To know that in the past, his daughter was a beautiful girl who loved appearances. When the problem first appeared, she didn’t even want to go out to meet people.

Luckily, she endured it.

"Don’t worry, Lian Yang is a young man, he should be fine. Given our family’s situation, no matter what illness it is, we can surely provide Lian Yang with the best treatment." Xia Jingsheng comforted, "In the next week, I will have someone waiting outside the school, if there’s any problem, just call them, alright?"

Ah Chen agreed.

Seeing that Ah Chen was emotionally stable, Xia Jingsheng finally relaxed a bit.

On the other side, in the hotel.

Back in the suite, Yun Xiuzhi’s demeanor turned cold and unfamiliar. She took out a needle and pricked Lian Yang’s fingertip, then released a Gu Worm.

The Gu Worm instantly burrowed into Lian Yang’s body, visibly moving under his skin, a rather horrifying sight.

Lian Yang was used to such scenes, just wanting to quickly identify his own symptoms.

"Mom, if nothing is found, should we go to Jing City for a check-up?" Lian Yang asked.

Since he could remember, Lian Yang knew they had enemies in Jing City. Someone in the Ling Family had wronged his mom. It should be said that this person was his biological father, who betrayed his mom and even tried to exterminate her.

There was also another family, the Meng Family. That Ling guy’s wife was from the Meng Family. These two families teamed up, leaving his mom with no way out.

Even within the clan, they couldn’t tolerate his mom, wanting to exterminate her, forcing her to flee to a small place to survive.

Fortunately, his mom had great skills, allowing her to survive and give birth to him.

His biological father was truly cruel; back then, his mom was on the run while pregnant with him.

So sooner or later, they had to go back and seek justice, not only the Ling Family but also the Meng Family, none of them could escape.

Especially that Ling person, why seek out his mom even after getting married? If not for that Ling person, given his mom’s talent, she would have been living well in the clan, definitely the next clan leader candidate.

Everything was destroyed by that Ling person.

One day, he would utterly destroy the Ling Family, forcing them to kneel like dogs before him and his mom to apologize.

"If nothing is found, then let’s go and have a look."

"Even if old acquaintances meet again, they wouldn’t recognize me."

Yun Xiuzhi’s tone was icy, "Don’t worry, no matter what the symptom is, mom won’t let anything happen to you. Jing City is indeed a different place, it’s good to go ahead of time and understand the situation there."

"It’s been so many years, I do miss those old acquaintances; I wonder how they’ve been." Yun Xiuzhi suddenly revealed a slight smile, though the smile carried a chill.

"I have a roommate named Meng Xuan, learned from Cao Zhicheng. According to Cao Zhicheng, Meng Xuan is very close to the Ling Family, probably a member of the Meng Family." Lian Yang recalled. He originally intended to get closer to Meng Xuan to understand the situation of the Ling Family in Jing City.

Just currently implementing another plan, he had no time for other things. But through usual interactions, and sharing the same dormitory, he and Meng Xuan seemed to get along on the surface.

Otherwise, last time in the hospital, Meng Xuan wouldn’t have offered help. If they really went to Jing City for the examination, he could help.

This was something Lian Yang was happy to see.

He hadn’t mentioned it to Yun Xiuzhi before, firstly because he wasn’t completely sure of Meng Xuan’s identity, secondly because they couldn’t go to Jing City for the time being.

Now it’s different. If his mom can’t diagnose the problem, they have to make a trip to Jing City.

"A Meng Family member, huh?" Yun Xiuzhi narrowed her eyes, "We should get along well, there might be places where we need him."

Because there was deep collaboration between the clan and the Ling and Meng families, Yun Xiuzhi couldn’t use the Gu Worm technique, or she might expose herself, making things harder instead.

After what happened back then, the Ling Family must have been on guard. Within the Ling and Meng families, there must be members of the clan stationed there. Even if she wanted to do something, it wasn’t easy and there was still the risk of exposure.

So she thought of another way, competing with the Ling Family in business. She had an excellent son, who might not have much talent in Gu techniques but was very smart, learning well, and had a knack for business from a young age, which she intentionally cultivated.

Not to mention they appeared ordinary on the surface, but in reality, Yun Xiuzhi secretly controlled a company.

From a very young age, Lian Yang has been learning these things.

However, growing a company big enough to rival the Ling Family isn’t easy.

Yun Xiuzhi surely wanted to use Gu techniques to achieve her goals, but Gu techniques weren’t omnipotent.

In a large company, relationships are often intertwined. If people within continuously faced issues, it would eventually alert those in the clan, which would be troublesome for her. Furthermore, such complex organizational structures are hard to manage, making it difficult for one family to dominate.

She hadn’t given up on this idea but needed to choose a suitable target.

It so happened that her son had a need in this area, and the Xia father and daughter perfectly fit the situation, it was like heaven was helping them.

An hour later, Yun Xiuzhi’s complexion wasn’t good: "Seems like we have to make a trip to Jing City for a detailed check-up."

"Didn’t find any other problems." Understanding her own situation, she also suspected someone might have used Gu, but she checked all possible areas in which a Gu could reside and found no issues.

"Then let’s go after the mid-term exams." Actually, this was just an excuse, but since they had already talked to the Xia father and daughter, they had to wait until then. Lian Yang’s face didn’t look good, but he wasn’t worried about his condition.

What the mother and son hadn’t expected was that a month after Ah Chen’s Gu had been planted, Lian Yang would become extremely weak, though he wouldn’t die.

During the last mid-term exam, Lian Yang collapsed midway due to lack of strength, frightening the invigilator into calling for emergency aid.
