“Are you sure it’s the same type of toxin?”

“Yes, after studying medicine for so long, I can distinguish toxins,” Jiang Yining replied calmly. “This type of chronic toxin is hard to detect. Over time, it can damage the brain’s neural tissue, leaving people mentally sluggish and lacking vitality. Initially, the amount of toxin in your body was minimal, so it didn’t affect you. However, Abby is a child with a weak immune system. If we don’t eliminate it soon, I estimate that within half a year…”

She didn’t finish her sentence, but they both understood.

Lu Zhi remained silent for a while before asking, “If you were to treat her, how confident are you that you can completely remove the toxin?”

“One hundred percent,” Jiang Yining replied confidently.

“Okay, when the time is right, I’ll have you step in and help Abby. For now, let’s keep this matter quiet.”

“Understood.”

Jiang Yining knew that if Lu Zhi didn’t immediately inform the Manchester family, he had his reasons. She didn’t press further and followed his instructions.

The next day, early in the morning, a car from the Manchester family arrived to pick them up and take them to the racetrack. When they arrived, the racetrack was already bustling with people.

The Manchester family had a prominent status in Sweden, and there were numerous individuals seeking to gain their favor. It was said that Mr. Manchester was hosting a horse race, and a significant number of nobles, social elites, and wealthy businessmen had come specifically for the event.

Luna also brought a young girl with her. This girl was the granddaughter of the Austin family, with whom the Manchester family had maintained a generational friendship. She had a charming appearance and a graceful figure. Most importantly, she was highly educated, excelling in horseriding and music, making her an outstanding individual.

Luna believed that only women of illustrious lineage and exceptional qualities were deserving of Lu Zhi. They were the ones poised to become the matriarchs of the esteemed Manchester family, guiding it to a radiant future with Ah Zhi by their side. In her view, Jiang Yining was an outsider, fit at best to be Lu Zhi’s secret liaison, but not worthy of being his wife.

With that perspective in mind, Luna brought Vinnie over to the horse race. Her intention was to subtly undermine Jiang Yining’s status, hoping to provide Lu Zhi with a clearer view of who truly deserved the role of his life partner.

From a distance, Luna spotted her father engrossed in conversation with Lu Zhi and Jiang Yining. She leaned in closer and whispered to Vinnie, “Remember that little Chinese boy we used to play with when we were kids?”

Vinnie had already received some guidance from her mother before coming here. She knew that the Manchester family intended to bring back their grandson who had been left in China, making him the heir to the entire Manchester family fortune. On the side of the Manchester family, it had been hinted that they hoped she would marry him.

Vinnie nodded, her face flushing slightly. “1 do. He was quite handsome as a child.”

“Today, he’s here as well,” Luna pointed to Lu Zhi’s direction and continued, “Over there.”

Vinnie’s eyes were immediately drawn to the tall, dashing, and profoundly charismatic figure of Lu Zhi. A hint of rosy blush graced her fair cheeks.

Following that, her gaze shifted to Jiang Yining, and her brows knit slightly as she inquired, “Who is that woman?”

With an air of superiority, Luna explained, “She… She is All Zhi’s paramour, having been with him for quite some time. Rest assured, she won’t alter Ah Zhi’s future wife’s status. At most, she’ll be a mistress. Even if she bears children, her offspring will never inherit the Manchester family’s noble title.”

This was akin to a reassurance for Vinnie. She had some reservations, but she didn’t really regard Jiang Yining as a threat. In noble circles, having paramours was quite normal. Her father, for instance, maintained over a dozen. Yet, in Sweden, paramours were not recognized by the family and could only enjoy a lavish lifestyle. They could never truly infiltrate the family’s core and thus posed no genuine threat.

In the future, Lu Zhi would inherit the massive Manchester family. Having multiple paramours wouldn’t be surprising.

“Shall I take you to greet him? He’ll be participating in the horse race as well. Vinnie, your equestrian skills are remarkable. Perhaps you could even spar with him,” Luna suggested, sensing Vinnie’s budding interest.

“Yes, please, Aunt Luna,” Vinnie replied, her tone composed.

Satisfied, Luna nodded and walked with her toward Lu Zhi.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi had a discussion with Mr. Manchester for a while. Mr. Manchester then instructed the housekeeper to bring two horses: one red and one black.

Mr. Manchester said, “The black one is called Thunder. It’s a Dawan horse, exceptionally fast but rather temperamental. It requires a strong-willed rider to handle it. Ah Zhi, you’ll be riding this horse today..”
