Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 871: Chapter 859: Taking a Master After a brief pause, Su Manhan looked up at Tang Yan and said, "You are the one who spends the most twith Qipei. Keep an eye on his condition. If you notice anything unusual, contact us immediately." "Understood, ma'am." Tang Yan replied and then bid farewell.

Su Manhan was very anxious and worried. She looked at Zhan Yao and said anxiously, "What should we do? It looks like our son's mental state might be at risk!" Zhan Yao sighed deeply, his sigh revealing his helplessness.

Just as the two were fretting, Zhan Nanjing cout of her room.

As soon as she cout, she saw her parents sitting on the sofa sighing, both looking distressed and worried.

"Dad, Mom, what's going on? Why do you look so worried? What's happened?" Zhan Nanjing asked suspiciously and then walked over to sit beside them.

"Sigh..." Su Manhan couldn't help but sigh again before she explained, “Assistant Tang just cby and said that your brother is getting worse. Besides drinking excessively during social events, he's also starting to hallucinate, repeatedly claiming he's seen your sister-in-law. But how could this be possible?" "Your brother misses your sister-in-law so much that he's losing his clarity!" Hearing this, Zhan Nanjing immediately understood everything.

Recalling the tsunami four years ago that caused so much change, she couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, my sister-in- law was such a good person. How could something like this happen?" "Heaven is truly blind, punishing good people like my sister-in-law who are exceptional, while leaving those egregious wrongdoers untouched. It's truly talent getting jealous!" Shaking her head, she continued after a few seconds, "Although my brother seems okay on the surface, his heart has long been battered." "Thankfully, there's still Yubao, Zebao, and Mo Bao. Without them, my brother wouldn't have held on!" Zhan Yao frowned deeply, and after a long sigh, he said, "What happened to Qiao Jing doesn't just affect your brother. Your grandfather also fell ill because of it." "Your grandfather's condition is worsening by the day. He's been in the hospital for over a month, constantly on medication and infusion, but there's no sign of recovery. Instead, he's getting worse." "A few days ago, the doctor privately toldthat if his condition continues to deteriorate, we might have to prepare for the worst..." After saying this, the room suddenly fell into a heavy silence.

The three remained silent, each lost in their thoughts, with no one speaking for quite a while.

After a long time, Zhan Yao suddenly thought of something and hesitantly said, "Perhaps we could find a girl who resembles Qiao Jing for Qipei, and see if it helps him move on?" "Sometimes, a shift in emotion can lead to an improvement in Qipei's state..." "Dad! What are you saying? How can we do that?" Zhan Yao hadn't finished speaking when Zhan Nanjing interrupted him, agitated.

She said indignantly, “If we really do this, wouldn't we becheartless and unscrupulous people?" "Besides, my brother would never agree to something like this. In his heart, there's only my sister-in-law, and there's no way he could accommodate anyone else. The idea of a substitute is unthinkable!" As soon as Zhan Nanjing finished speaking, Su Manhan began to reprimand Zhan Yao too.

She looked at Zhan Yao with evident reproach in her eyes, "Think carefully about what you just said. Finding a replacement for our son? How could you even think of that!" "Though I also can't bear to see our son suffering because of love, I adamantly disagree with this. How could we face Qiao Jing if we did such a thing?" "If Qiao Jing knew that to make Qipei forget her, we were finding another woman for him, her heart would surely be devastated!" The mother and daughter both voiced strong opposition to Zhan Yao's suggestion, reproaching him thoroughly. Zhan Yao felt deeply ashamed after hearing their words.

He reflected for a moment and realized his suggestion was indeed absurd and inappropriate! Under the earnest guidance of Su Manhan and Zhan Nanjing, Zhan Yao candidly admitted and sincerely apologized, "Oh, finding a substitute for Qipei is indeed not appropriate. I wasn't thinking it through.” "I said that in a moment of confusion due to anxiety. Just pretend I never said those words..." Hearing him say this, Su Manhan and Zhan Nanjing finally ceased their reproaches against him.

A day later.

Today is the day Zhou Fu accepts disciples.

Early in the morning, the entrance to Wonderful Hall was crowded with people, all eager to bechis apprentices.

Qiao Jing accompanied Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin to the scene.

In order to prevent Jiang Zihong from getting wind of anything, even when not in Nandu, Qiao Jing would still wear fake skin to cover her lifelike spots whenever she left her house.

Since it's an act, she would naturally see it through to the end! Qiao Jing and her companions stood aside, waiting for the assessment to begin.

Suddenly, a familiar mocking voice cfrom the side.

"Oh! Aren't these Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin? If not for your two obnoxious faces, I might have thought I was mistaken." Qiao Jing, Qiao Hong, and Qiao Lin turned their heads simultaneously to see Yang Xiaoxiao approaching with a triumphant smile.

Before the three could say anything, Yang Xiaoxiao glanced sideways at Qiao Hong and Qia Land ΟΜ continued her jeer, "I'm just saying, with you two's half-baked skills, you still have the nerve to seek a master?" Qiao Jing looked at Yang Xiaoxiao indifferently, thinking this person was like an annoying fly.

Now thinking about it, Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin were indeed too gentle last tsince this person hadn't learned her lesson and was back to causing trouble again! At this moment, Qiao Lin glared at Yang Xiaoxiao and retorted with displeasure, "Yang Xiaoxiao, what makes you so smug? Calling us half-baked? How much better do you think you are?" "I'm smug because I have reasons to be proud. In any case, I'm far better than you two sisters.” Yang Xiaoxiao raised her chin slightly, looking full of confidence about the apprenticeship.

She unexpectedly patted Qiao Lin's m shoulder and, in a tone that seemed like persuasion but was actually sarcasm, said, "If you have any self-awareness, it's best to turn back now to avoid disgrace when the assessment starts later." "Ha!" Qiao Hong snickered, retorting, "Yang Xiaoxiao, the assessment hasn't even started yet, and you're already so boastful, as if you're guaranteed to becMaster Zhou's apprentice." "I'm genuinely curious where your confidence comes from!"

Just as Qiao Hong finished speaking, Yang Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, "I'm standing here today with the intention of becoming Master Zhou's apprentice, and I have the confidence to do so!" With this, her gaze on Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin beceven more disdainful, “Unlike you, I'm not here to make a fool of myself!" "I don't think you two need to seek apprenticeship at all to avoid humiliation. Just stay honest, and when you see Master Zhou, beg him to fix your third sister's frightening face!"
