Ming father's expression froze slightly.
At this critical juncture,
She still dared to refuse?
Was she truly not afraid of being branded disloyal and unfilial?
Was she truly not afraid it would affect her marriage into the Chi family?
"Ming Zheng…"
Ming father was about to say more,
When Ming Zheng's languid voice interrupted, "Madam Ming Chairman is quite spirited. She told me righteously before that even if she was crippled for life, she would never ask for my help."
"If Madam Ming Chairman had any shred of dignity, she wouldn't come begging me, right?"
Ming Zheng's lazy gaze swept towards Madam Ming.
The curve of her lips was filled with mockery and amusement.
Madam Ming, who was nestled in Ming father's embrace, instantly turned pale.
That was right.
After Elder Lu had treated her the last time.
Ming Chu Yan had called Ming Zheng.
At that time, Ming Zheng's attitude was extremely arrogant.
She didn't think a useless person like Ming Zheng could have any abilities.
In a fit of anger,
She had said those words.
But now…
Reality told her.
Only Ming Zheng could heal her hands.
Furthermore, the president of the Chinese Medicine Association had said…
That in the world, only Ming Zheng could treat her hands.
If it were before.
Madam Ming could still believe that President Zhan of the Chinese Medicine Association was doing it out of consideration for Chi Xian, or had been enticed by some benefits from Ming Zheng,
And was deliberately helping Ming Zheng to deceive them.
But after this period of time.
They had seen Chinese and Western doctors.
They had also tried folk remedies.
They had even tried those crooked and evil methods.
Yet, her hands seemed truly crippled.
No…
She didn't want to be crippled for life.
She didn't want to live like this forever!
But for her to be so defiant towards Ming Zheng, to say that she didn't need Ming Zheng's help at all.
And then to make her bow her head to Ming Zheng and beg Ming Zheng.
She… couldn't do it!
Ming father lowered his eyes and looked at his wife in his arms.
Something like this had happened?
He didn't even know!
"Ming Zheng, you were the one who spoke too harshly that day and stimulated Mom…"
Ming Chu Yan also stepped forward, "Mom was angry and that's why she said that."
"Harsh?"
Ming Zheng's eyes curved, her smile becoming even more disdainful.
Her fair and delicate face, like a blooming Manzhushahua, was exceptionally exquisite.
The upturned corners of her eyes held a seductive charm, drawing out a shimmering arc.
Beautiful… soul-stirring!
"If you think my words are harsh, then don't come near me."
She lazily raised an eyebrow again, "Not only can I speak more harshly, but my fists also pack a punch."
She raised her hand.
Her slender, jade-white fingers flexed casually twice. "You, want to try?"
When her gaze swept over,
Ming Chu Yan felt a chill down his spine.
In a fleeting moment, it was as if the girl before him overlapped with the Ming Zheng who had caused him to lose his commanding position in his memory…
But it was only for an instant.
He shook his head, dispelling the utterly absurd thought.
How could Ming Zheng possibly be that stunningly beautiful… Ming Zheng?
Only those who had undergone a comprehensive identity verification could board that ship.
There could absolutely be no case of disguise.
They couldn't link the two people just because their names contained "Zheng."
Ming Chu Yan snapped back to reality and looked at Ming Zheng again, "Ming Zheng, we are family. No matter what conflicts we have, we can resolve them slowly at home."
"Do you know that because of these hands, Mom cries herself to sleep every day, and her body is growing weaker?"
"She was such a proud person before… now she needs others to take care of her eating, drinking, living, and moving."
"Can you bear to watch Mom live like this forever?"
Ming Chu Yan appealed to their emotions and reason. Towards the end, his voice began to tremble.
As if he empathized with Madam Ming's pain.
And was also indignant at Ming Zheng's heartlessness.
Ming Feng Xin Suo Ai Zheng: "Oh, I can bear it."
What was there to not bear?
Ming Chu Yan: "…"
How could this shrew be so unyielding?
Ming Zheng raised her eyebrows, her gaze sweeping over the Ming family members.
A hint of playful amusement spread across her starry eyes.
Her water-like, shimmering lips curved, and she said with a light, indifferent laugh, "I'll give you one more chance."
The Ming family members suddenly looked up at Ming Zheng.
Their faces did not show any signs of joy.
Instead, their brows furrowed.
Because they felt…
Ming Zheng was definitely plotting something bad.
She was definitely not that kind-hearted!
As expected, they heard the girl's lazy and languid voice drift out—
"Since I'm already here."
"Come, kneel and beg me, right now."
Madam Ming pointed at Ming Zheng, her hands trembling uncontrollably, "Ming Zheng, you, you truly have no heart… I am your mother, your biological mother…"
As she trembled,
Her eyelids rolled back.
She fainted into Ming father's arms.
Appearing to have fainted from anger at Ming Zheng.
"You Ran! You Ran!" Ming father quickly embraced Madam Ming, calling her name urgently.
"Mom!" Ming Chu Yan's expression changed, and he rushed over anxiously.
Ming father, holding Madam Ming, returned to the VIP seating area and placed Madam Ming on a seat to rest.
Ming father's chest heaved with anger. "Ming Zheng, look at you, look at what you've done to your mother!"
"Elder Lu, Elder Lu, please take a look at my mother…" Ming Chu Yan supported Madam Ming, his eyes full of pleading as he looked at Elder Lu.
When Madam Ming fainted and was carried to the VIP seating area.
Elder Lu had already walked over.
Just as he was about to feel Madam Ming's pulse.
A slender figure in white ran from the main entrance of Drunken Immortal Tower directly towards their VIP seating area.
"Dad, Mom, Sixth Brother…"
The person saw Ming father, Madam Ming, and Ming Chu Yan, and not noticing the atmosphere, began to cry first.
"Rou Er, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"
Ming Chu Yan heard the voice, raised his eyes, and saw Ming Zhi Rou, in a white gauze dress, standing before him.
Her hair was unbound.
Her beautiful, shimmering eyes were filled with glistening tears.
She looked particularly pitiable.
What Ming Chu Yan noticed first was the red and swollen mark on Ming Zhi Rou's fair, delicate face.
Ming Chu Yan's brows immediately furrowed. He let go of Madam Ming and quickly rushed to Ming Zhi Rou, pulling her into his embrace.
"What happened? Why are you in such a mess?"
Madam Ming, who was abandoned: "…"
Her fainting act was almost ruined.
She felt a strange sensation.
Her son had abandoned her.
And went to care for Ming Zhi Rou?
Did that mean, in Ming Chu Yan's heart, she, as his mother, was not as important as Ming Zhi Rou?
But the next second.
Upon hearing Ming Zhi Rou's cries.
Madam Ming's heart ached, and she couldn't hold back any longer. She immediately opened her eyes, "What happened to Rou Er?"
"Mom…"
Ming Zhi Rou's eyes were teary. Upon seeing Madam Ming, it was as if the grievances she had suppressed for a long time were finally released.
"Mom, I… I'm sorry…"
