Chapter 244 The whole family goes to the hospital

The momentary anomaly went unnoticed by the two people downstairs. As soon as Ye Wanxi stepped downstairs, a small white figure, as big as a cannonball, pounced over and jumped into its arms.

Ye Wanxi groaned, finding it hard to keep up with the little guy's enthusiasm.

Have you gained weight recently? You seem to have gotten quite a bit heavier.

Ye Wanxi cradled the little rabbit's chubby bottom and rubbed it from top to bottom, clearly feeling the plump little belly beneath the fluffy white fur!

"!" Little Round's pointed ears suddenly stood up, just like a frightened kitten with its fur standing on end. It frantically fiddled with its short legs, trying to touch its belly.

It's gotten fat? It's gotten fat! How could it possibly get fat?!

During this time, it has been neglecting its food and drink for its little owner and shedding fur every day. How could it possibly gain weight instead of losing weight?

This must be a conspiracy by the master! It's a conspiracy by the master to prevent himself from gaining the young master's exclusive favor!

Looking at the dramatic little rabbit in her arms, sometimes terrified and sometimes bristling, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but pet it again before turning her gaze to the two of them.

Good morning, Mr. Xiao. Have you had breakfast yet?

Ye Wanxi's question made Xiao Yuti feel a little embarrassed. It was indeed a bit presumptuous of her to come to the door so early in the morning, before her host had even had breakfast.

"We ate on the way here. Why don't you eat first, and we can talk later?"

“No need, business is more important.” Ye Wanxi glanced at the young man following behind Xiao Yuti. “However, if we hurry up a bit, it shouldn’t take me much time and won’t affect my breakfast.”

Her words caused a slight change in their expressions.

The young man who came with Xiao Yuti, in particular, had his eyes light up when he heard Ye Wanxi say that, and his gaze toward her was full of eagerness.

Gao Min, who had initially been somewhat critical of the two for coming to visit so early, temporarily backed down and went to the restaurant to set up the breakfast she had just bought.

"Since you've said so, Wanxi, I won't beat around the bush and waste any more time. This is my friend's nephew, Liu Zhengqing."

Liu Zhengqing quickly stepped forward to greet Ye Wanxi: "Miss Ye."

Ye Wanxi nodded politely to him, signaling Xiao Yuti to continue.

"His family has recently encountered some difficulties, and they had no choice but to turn to you for help. You see..."

Ye Wanxi raised an eyebrow and asked a completely unrelated question: "You have a good relationship with his family?"

Xiao Yuti paused for a moment, then said truthfully, "I was college roommates with this child's father, and we've always had a good relationship."

Ye Wanxi nodded, then turned to Liu Zhengqing and asked, "What is your relationship with the person who had the accident?"

"It's my aunt and uncle's family."

"Oh, Li Yonghu is your uncle."

Liu Zhengqing was startled and looked at Ye Wanxi in surprise. He hadn't said anything yet, but the person in front of him had already guessed his uncle's identity.

Liu Zhengqing's heart pounded, and he instinctively felt that he might have finally found a lifeline that could help his aunt's family escape their predicament.

"Yes, my uncle is Li Yonghu, the famous screenwriter in the industry."

"A top screenwriter?" Ye Wanxi scoffed, offering no comment.

Liu Zhengqing was taken aback, not quite understanding what Ye Wanxi meant.

Xiao Yuti, however, was much more perceptive than him. Her brows furrowed slightly as she realized that this matter was probably not as simple as she had imagined.

Tell me what's been happening at your aunt's house lately.

Liu Zhengqing finally came to his senses after being reminded by him: "It started with my aunt. She was taking my cousin to school when she was accidentally hit on the shoulder by a flowerpot that fell from upstairs."

At the time, they felt both heartbroken and relieved that the falling flowerpot had landed slightly off-center, hitting their aunt on the shoulder instead of her head; otherwise, their aunt might have been in grave danger.

But later they realized that his aunt being hit was just the beginning!

"Not long after that, my cousin, who is my aunt and uncle's eldest son, went out to attend a class reunion. For some reason, he happened to run into a group of people causing trouble at the hotel. There were a lot of people there at the time, and everyone else was fine, but my cousin was slashed several times by the troublemakers and went to the hospital right after my aunt."

Liu Zhengqing couldn't help but shudder as he recalled the scene when his cousin was admitted to the hospital.

That was the first time in his life he had ever seen so much blood. Since his aunt was still in the hospital and his uncle couldn't manage it all by himself, he called his mother to come and help.

His mother was so frightened by the scene that she almost fainted on the spot.

Fortunately, although his cousin lost a lot of blood, he was not seriously injured and survived after emergency treatment, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

"Then it was my little cousin. During PE class, a garbage truck on campus somehow slid down the slope. My little cousin happened to be in the direction it was coming from. If the PE teacher hadn't reacted quickly and dove over it, it probably wouldn't have been just a few scrapes."

"And my uncle's parents, with so many things happening in their family all of a sudden, the two old people got so anxious that their high blood pressure spiked, and they were soon admitted to the hospital as well."

"Lastly, there's my uncle. A few days ago, he went home to get some clean clothes for my aunt and his parents. The elevator suddenly stopped for some reason. He had no choice but to walk up and down the stairs. When he came down, I don't know if he was too tired or he lost his focus, but he missed a step and tumbled down the stairs, breaking his leg."

Liu Zhengqing looked at Ye Wanxi cautiously as he spoke: "If it were just once or twice, that would be one thing, but now the whole family is in trouble..." It didn't seem like a coincidence at all.

Xiao Yuti echoed after he finished speaking: "That's right. If it were just one or two people, it wouldn't be so bad, but so many people have had accidents one after another, and they all live in the same family. My old classmate said that maybe they accidentally bumped into something evil."

Ye Wanxi lowered her head and stroked the little rabbit in her arms, asking softly, "Did you have someone look at it before this?"

"Yes, there are some, but they're either just empty talk or a lot of wasted effort that's completely useless. The only one that's somewhat reliable..."

"Um?"

"Well, I don't know where I heard that you got involved in their family's affairs, and that they said they could only come to you for help because they couldn't solve it. That's why I had no choice but to bring him here to bother you."

"Oh?" Ye Wanxi finally looked up at the two of them, slightly surprised. "Who told you that?"

Liu Zhengqing quickly explained, "He is a Taoist priest from Qingyue Temple."

"Qingyue Temple." Ye Wanxi felt that the name sounded familiar. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was the name of Zou Yuanhe's Taoist temple.

"..." Should she praise their Taoist temple for being so upright, since they could push a business that was already in their hands onto her? Although she didn't really want to take this business.
