Chapter 964 The Frail Heiress 9
At the restaurant, Xia Jinsheng warmly welcomed Yun Xiuzi.

After dinner, they started talking about Lian Yang's situation. If the mother and son agreed, they could go to Beijing for medical treatment the next day.

Lian Yang and Yun Xiuzi exchanged a glance. The mother and son both understood each other's thoughts. Lian Yang said, "The situation is actually not bad right now. The midterm exams are next week, which will count towards the final exam credits. I want to wait until after the midterm exams before going to Beijing for the inspection."

"It won't be long, that's fine," Xia Jinsheng said. "How about this, I'll have someone prepare so that if anything unexpected happens, we can go to Beijing anytime. What do you think, Aunt Lian Yang?"

Yun Xiuzhi naturally agreed; of course she cared about her son.

If you can't find the problem yourself, you can only rely on hospital equipment.

After discussing the matter, Lian Yang followed Yun Xiuzi to the hotel. With Xia Jinsheng's arrangements, Yun Xiuzi was naturally not neglected.

Azhen went home with Xia Jinsheng, just in time for her medical check-up.

Having not seen his daughter for several days, and now that Lian Yang has contracted a strange illness, Xia Jinsheng, fearing something might go wrong, decided to take his daughter back to comfort her.

First, he checked the mark on his face and learned that it had indeed stopped growing. Xia Jinsheng was truly relieved.

If it continues to grow, it might even cover her entire face; he doesn't know how his daughter will bear it. You see, before, his daughter was a beautiful little girl who loved beauty. When the problem first appeared, she didn't even want to go out and see anyone.

Fortunately, we made it through.

"Don't worry, Lian Yang is a young man, he should be fine. With our family's resources, whatever the illness, we can definitely provide Lian Yang with the best treatment," Xia Jinsheng reassured him. "For the next week, Dad will have someone waiting outside the school. If there are any problems, just call them directly, okay?"

A-Zhu agreed.

Xia Jinsheng relaxed a little when he saw that Azhen was in a good mood.

On the other side, inside the hotel.

After returning to the suite, Yun Xiuzi's demeanor became cold and distant. She took out a needle, pricked Lian Yang's fingertip, and then released a Gu worm.

The worm instantly burrowed into Lian Yang's body, and the worm could be clearly seen moving under his skin, a somewhat horrifying sight.

Lian Yang, however, was used to this kind of scene and only wanted to find out his illness as soon as possible.

"Mom, if they can't find anything wrong, should we go to Beijing for a checkup?" Lian Yang asked.

From as far back as he could remember, Lian Yang knew they had an enemy in Beijing, someone in the Ling family who had wronged his mother. In fact, that person was his own father; he was the one who had betrayed his mother and even tried to kill her.

There was another family among them, the Meng family. The wife of the man surnamed Ling was surnamed Meng. It was the two families that joined forces to drive his mother to desperation.

Even her own clan couldn't tolerate her mother and wanted to exterminate her, so her mother had no choice but to flee to a small place to survive.

Fortunately, his mother was very capable, which allowed her to survive and give birth to him.

His biological father was truly heartless; his mother was pregnant with him and constantly on the run.

So sooner or later they will go back to seek justice, not only from the Ling family, but also from the Meng family; none of them will escape.

The main problem is that guy surnamed Ling. Since he's already married, why does he still bother his mother? If it weren't for that guy surnamed Ling, with his mother's talent, she would be living a very good life in the clan and would definitely be the next clan leader.

Everything was destroyed by that guy surnamed Ling.

One day, he would utterly destroy the Ling family and make them kneel before him and his mother like dogs, apologizing. "If they can't find anything, then go get it checked."

"Even if I meet old friends again, they won't recognize me."

Yun Xiuzi's tone was icy: "Don't worry, no matter what the illness is, Mom won't let anything happen to you. Beijing is indeed a different place. It's good to go and see it beforehand so you can learn about the situation there."

"It's been so many years, and I miss those old friends quite a bit. I wonder how they're doing." Yun Xiuzi suddenly smiled slightly, but the smile was tinged with coldness.

“I have a roommate named Meng Xuan, which I learned about from Cao Zhicheng. According to Cao Zhicheng, Meng Xuan is very close to the Ling family, and the other party should be a member of the Meng family.” Lian Yang recalled this matter. After learning about this, he had intended to get closer to Meng Xuan in order to learn about the Ling family in Beijing.

He is currently working on another project and doesn't have time to do anything else for the time being. However, based on their interactions and the fact that they are roommates, it seems that he and Meng Xuan get along quite well.

Otherwise, Meng Xuan wouldn't have offered to help if we really needed to go to Beijing for a checkup last time at the hospital.

This is something Lian Yang is happy to see.

The reason I didn't mention it to Yun Xiuzi before was twofold: firstly, I wasn't entirely certain of Meng Xuan's identity, and secondly, they couldn't go to Beijing for the time being.

Now things are different. If his mother can't find out what's wrong with her body, she'll have to go to Beijing.

"The Meng family?" Yun Xiuzhi's eyes narrowed slightly. "We should get along with them well; they might come in handy."

Because of the deep cooperation between her clan and the Ling and Meng families, Yun Xiuzi couldn't use Gu worms to do anything. Otherwise, exposing herself would be disadvantageous, making it even more difficult to do anything she wanted.

Moreover, after what happened back then, the Ling family must have been on guard. There must be members of the clan in both the Ling and Meng families to oversee things. Even if she wanted to do something, it wouldn't be easy, and there would still be a risk of being exposed.

So she came up with another idea: to compete with the Ling family in the business world. She had a very outstanding son. Perhaps he wasn't very talented in Gu magic, but he was very smart, did well in his studies, and had a talent for business since he was a child. She also intended to cultivate his talent.

Despite their seemingly ordinary appearance, Yun Xiuzi secretly controls the company.

Lian Yang had been learning these things for a long time.

It's not easy for a company to grow big, especially to the point of being able to rival the Ling family.

Yun Xiuzi certainly wanted to use Gu magic to achieve her goals, but Gu magic is not omnipotent.

Which large company doesn't have a complex web of interpersonal relationships? If people within it keep running into trouble, it will eventually alert the rest of the clan, and then she'll be in real trouble. Moreover, companies with such complex systems are difficult to manage, making it hard for any single entity to dominate.

She didn't give up on the idea, but needed to choose a suitable target.

It just so happens that their son also has this need, and the Xia father and daughter are a perfect match for this situation. It really is heaven helping them.

An hour later, Yun Xiuzi's expression was not good: "It seems I need to go to Beijing for a detailed examination."

"No other problems were found." Putting herself in others' shoes, she also suspected that someone might have used a curse, but she had checked all the places where the curse worms could live and there were indeed no problems.

"Then let's go after the midterm exams." Actually, this was just an excuse, but since he had already told the Xia family father and daughter, he could only wait until then. Although Lian Yang's expression was not good, he was not worried about his situation.

What the mother and son didn't expect was that a month after A-Zhuang planted the Gu, Lian Yang would become extremely weak, but he wouldn't die.

During the last subject of the midterm exam, Lian Yang collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion, which frightened the proctor into calling for an ambulance.
