With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 966 The Frail Heiress 11
“Xia Zhen is in that situation, and now the second son is also in trouble. We don’t know what’s wrong with him. If something really happens to him, what will happen to Xia Zhen…” Cao Zhicheng shook his head. He originally wanted to say something, but suddenly remembered that they were in the Xia family’s car, so he silently shut up.

He's a local, and the Cao family is bound to run into the Xia family sometime soon. It's best not to say anything unpleasant. If the Xia family's driver hears this and tells Xia Jinsheng, it will cause trouble.

What he originally wanted to say was that the two unlucky guys were actually quite a good match, and they just ended up together like they were acting in a tragic drama.

It's easy to imagine that, given how much Xia Jinsheng dotes on his daughter, if these words actually reach the other side's ears, the Cao family will definitely be targeted.

In Qing City, there is only one Xia Jinsheng who is the richest man, but there are many families like the Cao family. The rivals are hoping that something will happen to the Cao family so that they can take over their share.

Meng Xuan was about to give him a reminder, but Cao Zhicheng suddenly fell silent.

I quickly understood what was going on.

At crucial moments, Cao Zhicheng still understood the importance of the matter.

He didn't like Cao Zhicheng much. He had wanted to warn him before, but only to prevent such talk from reaching the Xia family. Now, it was basically just making things worse. He was still in Cao's car, and he definitely had to stop his roommate from saying anything unpleasant.

In a different setting, he wouldn't care about such things. If Cao Zhicheng offended someone due to his reckless speech, it was the other party's own fault.

Cao Zhicheng had always wanted to curry favor with him, probably because he had somehow found out his identity.

He's never really been interested in it, just going through the motions, after all, they're roommates. Normally, he wouldn't let things get too tense.

But Cao Zhicheng was a bit overconfident, always feeling that he had a very good relationship with him.

While still some distance from school, Meng Xuan took out his phone and dialed a number in Beijing. The call was answered quickly.

Sitting next to Meng Xuan, Wu Jie could vaguely hear a rather cold yet pleasant voice coming from the phone: "Xiao Xuan? What's the matter with the call?"

"Brother Huan, one of my roommates has a strange illness, but they haven't been able to find out what it is. He's going to Beijing for a checkup tomorrow, and I'll be going with him. Could you help arrange things so we don't have to rush around? It would be best if he got there and got checked immediately, since it seems quite serious. The sooner it's diagnosed, the sooner it can be resolved." Meng Xuan finished speaking in one breath. "With Brother Huan there, it should be fine, right?"

"Didn't you already make your decision?" The voice was less cold than before, and you could clearly hear a smile in it. "No problem, it's just a small matter. We're family, no need for formalities."

Because of their close relationship, Meng Xuan wouldn't be so polite as to ask first, as that would seem too distant. He knew how to handle such a small matter.

"How has Huan-ge been feeling lately?" Meng Xuan asked with concern. His cousin was handsome and intelligent, but his health was poor; he looked like a delicate flower standing there.

Of course, this is just appearance. If you really think he is a delicate flower that can be easily blown away by the wind and rain, then you will suffer a great loss.

Actually, if my aunt hadn't had a miscarriage when she was pregnant with my cousin, causing him to be born with congenital deficiencies, he definitely wouldn't have the porcelain doll-like body he has now, as if he would break at the slightest touch.

Of course, with the Ling family's constant and meticulous care, he was able to survive.

No one knows exactly how long they can live, and they can't afford any accidents. In any case, their quality of life will definitely not be comparable to that of a normal person.

Thinking of this, Meng Xuan's eyes were filled with regret.

Putting everything else aside, just considering his cousin's brain, if he were in better health, he could definitely bring more changes to the Ling family.

Pity.

He wasn't born at that time, so he really doesn't know the specifics of what happened back then.

The elders kept quiet about the matter, and as a junior, no matter how curious he was, he had no way of finding out.

All I know is that after my aunt went to the hospital due to miscarriage, she went back to her parents' home, but she didn't divorce my uncle. When they met, they didn't seem to have any conflicts, and they even chatted and laughed together.

Later, in order to take care of her cousin, her aunt lived in a villa next to the Ling family's house, but she didn't live with her uncle.

Aside from not living together, they are just like a normal married couple, raising and educating their children together, picking them up from school, and they couldn't be more harmonious.

So Meng Xuan didn't understand what was going on that made his uncle and aunt's relationship like this. When he was little, he was very curious but didn't dare to ask the adults, so he secretly asked his cousin.

His aunt and uncle are his cousin's parents, and he felt they should know this.

To his surprise, his cousin glanced at him and said in a mature tone, "Don't meddle in adults' business. They have their reasons for doing this. If they're not going to say anything, they must have some unspeakable difficulties. Don't make things difficult for them. Adults have more worries than us children. Try to understand them."

I have to say, my cousin is truly amazing; he knows so much at such a young age.

Now that he's grown up, he truly understands what his cousin said back then.

Yes, if there wasn't some unspeakable secret, how could they have that kind of relationship?

He could clearly sense that there was still affection between his aunt and uncle, but that unspeakable secret had created a rift between them.

I don't know what kind of rift prevented my aunt from continuing to live with my uncle, but it didn't seem like she was blaming him.

He felt quite regretful.

But now I won't say anything more.

As my cousin said, the adults had their reasons for doing this.

"Same as always, no major problems," Ling Huan said. "I'll arrange for someone to pick you up tomorrow at whatever time."

"I'll ask my classmates about the dates later," Meng Xuan said. "Let's see when they booked their tickets."

Xia Zhen had previously asked for his ID number and phone number so she could book the plane tickets together. She believed she would find out the time soon.

"Are my parents home?" Meng Xuan asked again.

It's no wonder he asked that question; it's because his aunt manages the company, and his parents love to travel and are always on the go. They envy him.

I used to be able to see their WeChat Moments, but I don't know if it's because he always left sarcastic comments, asking them why they didn't include him, or if they didn't love him anymore.

They simply blocked him!
It's really blocked!

Children usually don't block their parents from seeing their messages, so why is it different for him?

Ling Huan seemed to have thought of this amusing incident as well, coughed lightly, and laughed: "They've gone out; they've been working as war correspondents lately."

Meng Xuan: ? ? ?
After a long silence, Meng Xuan sighed, "I hope I won't become an orphan."

"Now I have only one wish: that they can die peacefully in their old age."

Ling Huan: ...

Meng Xuan was very worried. What could he do? Adults have their own dreams too.

Fortunately, they still have some sense of responsibility. Before he went to university, even when they went out to have fun, they wouldn't be this crazy.

The next morning, Azhen and her group went to Beijing.

Less than two hours later, the plane landed in Beijing.

Meng Xuan said someone would pick him up, so Xia Jinsheng didn't make any arrangements.

Sure enough, someone came to pick them up after they came out. They first went to a hotel to stay and rest for a while, and then went to the hospital for a check-up.
