Chapter 725: 711, even the heavens are helping her (1)_1 Chapter 725: 711, even the heavens are helping her (1)_1 âMingyan, arenât you going to Switzerland? When are you leaving?â Jian Qing asked while munching on an orange.
Zhan Mingyan, âTomorrow.â
âWill you come back after attending the wedding?â Xiya glanced at her, asking.
Zhan Mingyan shook her head, âAfter attending the wedding, I will tour around Switzerland before coming back.â
Thereâs no point going there without taking the opportunity to travel.
Xiya gave a thumbs up, approvingly.
âRemember to flirt with the handsome guys.â
âSure.â Zhan Mingyan replied with a smile.

âLady An, if you have anything to say, please hurry. You only have fifteen minutes,â the prison guard said.
The hallway was empty, the light was dim, and the eeriness was even more pronounced.
An Rong, supporting Zhou Qi, looked around with disdain and impatience in her eyes.
After passing several prison cells, they finally arrived at the cell where An Man was incarcerated.
The cell, a few square meters in area, contained nothing but a metal bed and a table. The air was filled with a humid smell, slightly pungent.
âAman!â
Through the bars of the iron door, Zhou Qi shouted at the person who was lying on the bed.
âSister!â An Rong also shouted.
The figure on the metal bed quivered slightly. In an instant, she turned around to face them, her pale, yellow face visible to both Zhou Qi and An Rong.
Almost instantly, Zhou Qiâs eyes reddened. An Rong was stunned. Looking at the pale, disheveled woman in front of them, she could hardly believe this was An Man.
The former An Man was graceful and luxurious, a picture of an elegant woman. But the person now before their eyes had lost weight, her cheekbones protruding sharply, her eyes lifeless, permeating an air of desperation.
An Man got off the bed and, with shaky footsteps, raced over. Her rough hands tightly gripped the vertical bars on the iron gate, a flicker of excitement in her eyes.
âMom!â
âAman, how did you end up like this? How did they mistreat you?â Zhou Qi stared at her pale face, heartbroken.
âMom, howâs Chengcheng? Is he ok?â An Man grabbed her hand and asked anxiously.
Zhou Qi looked at her haggard face and eventually couldnât bring herself to tell her the truth. She comforted, âHeâs fine, donât worry, Iâll find the best doctors to take care of him.â
âThatâs good.â An Man let out a sigh of relief.
As long as her son was okay.
âAman, we havenât come to see you for so long, donât blame us. Too much has happened recently. Your mother didnât have any free time,â Zhou Qi began tidying up her tangled hair, speaking earnestly.
âEver since you were incarcerated, our An family hasnât had a single calm day. That Jian Qing has almost destroyed our family.â
âYeah, sister, Jian Qing has put our family in complete chaos.â Remembering Yang Xiang being imprisoned, An Rong wished she could kill Jian Qing.
âWhat happened? Did Jian Qing do something again?â An Man asked, confused.
âSister, you probably donât know yet. Jian Qing and his sister are elder brotherâs kids. Because of this, elder brother has completely fallen out with us, the An family,â An Rong tattled.
An Man was startled, âElder brotherâs kids?â
How could it be? How do Jian Qing and his sister relate with the elder brother?
âSister, you probably donât know that we framed that woman Yun Xi and our elder brother once. But unexpectedly, Yun Xi met the elder brother. Moreover, Yun Xi is the woman that elder brother has been searching for. She was just suffering from amnesia after being rescued by our second brother,â An Rong explained.
Rather than Jian Qing and his sister being the children of their elder boy, An Rong would prefer them to be the second brotherâs children. This way, their An family wouldnât be beaten down by Jian Qing.
After listening, An Man was shocked. She couldnât help but imagine Mo Xiaoâs cold gazeâso he actually knew Yun Xi before.
An Rong continued, âSister, you didnât know the situation at that time. When elder brother found out that Yun Xiâs death was related to us, he almost choked me to death. He even severed his mother-son relationship with mom.â
An Man came back to her senses, looking anxiously at An Rong, âIs Yun Xi really the person elder brother has been searching for?â
An Rong was startled by her agitated response and unintelligibly looked at her, nodding her head, âYes, elder brother almost choked me to death. How could it be false?â
Hearing this, An Man lowered her eyes, a cold, contemptuous smile flashed in her eyes.
Heh, it seems she wonât have to endure this horrible place much longer.
The wheel of fortune is turning. Now, even heaven seems to be helping her.
âArong, where is elder brother now?â
âOur elder brother hates us to death since he found out that Yun Xi is the woman he has been searching for. He didnât even come home for the New Year and seems to have gone back to M Country,â An Rong said.
An Man asked anxiously, âWhen will he come back?â
âI donât know that either. I now fear meeting elder brother, in case I bump into the muzzle of his gun. It would do more harm than good, and it would be messy,â An Rong said with a lingering fear.
âSister, are you looking for elder brother? Youâre not thinking of him saving you right? If you have this idea, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. Elder brother has only Jian Qing and his sister in his eyes right now. Donât think he will save you,â An Rong mysteriously looked at her, commenting.
An Man, âI know that.â
âAman, our time is limited, we canât stay too long. Iâll talk to your father and make sure youâre treated better here,â Zhou Qi patted her hand, saying gently.
âMom, donât waste your energy. Itâs Quan Jingwu who arranged for those people here. If you rashly seek help for me, you will only anger him. It would be bad if dad gets into trouble,â An Man said calmly.
âBut I canât just stand by and watch you suffer here,â Zhou Qi cried covering her mouth.
âMom, my second sister-in-law hasnât come to visit me once. What has she been busy with lately?â An Man inquired with careful probing.
âSheâs not busy with anything. You know how aloof Zhao Xuan is when it comes to othersâ business. The Yang Group recently had some issues. When I asked her for some help, she just kept making excuses.â An Rong quickly interjected in a weird tone.
An Man pondered for a moment, then gave an instruction, âMom, can you give Zhao Xuan a message for me? Tell her I want to see her and ask her to definitely come.â
âAman, why do you want to see Zhao Xuan?â Zhou Qi wiped her tears, looking puzzled at her, and asked.
âNothing special, I need to have a chat with her.â An Manâs eyes darkened, and the corners of her cracked, dry lips formed a glimmer of a sly grin.
Zhou Qi and An Rong cast uncertain glances at each other, both visibly confused.
The fifteen minutes were soon up. On the way back, An Rong kept wondering what business An Man could possibly have with Zhao Xuan.
âMom, do you think second sister-in-law is being blackmailed by our sister?â
Zhou Qi shook her head, âIâm not sure. If An Man is not ready to talk, how would I know?â
âMadam, weâve arrived,â the driver reminded them.
An Rong got out of the car, went around to the other side, and helped Zhou Qi step out.
âMom, be careful.â
