Ying Zijin, the former big man, woke up and became the youngest daughter of the Ying family who had been missing for 15 years, and decisively adopted a child to replace her.
After returning, ...
Chapter 254 Shedding the Disguise: The True Divine Healer! [1st Update]
When Madam Mu saw Mu Yuxi put down her pen, her heart finally settled down.
She was actually gambling too.
If Mu Yuxi doesn't sign, there's nothing she can do to force her.
Madam Mu had never intended to make a deal with Mu Yuxi, but Mu Weifeng was too arrogant.
He would rather die of illness than agree to her conditions.
But Mu Yuxi is different.
She just finished her middle school entrance exams this year and is now in her first year of high school.
No matter how capable a girl who is not yet 16 years old is, she is not mature.
Mu Weifeng is her own brother, so it's quite remarkable that Mu Yuxi can still stand here at this critical moment of life and death.
Madam Mu feared that Mu Yuxi would choose power over family ties.
Thankfully, it wasn't.
Madam Mu watched coldly from the sidelines, not even letting Mu Yuxi sit down, and just watched her sign.
Once this document is signed, it becomes legally effective.
Moreover, Mu Weifeng's life was in her hands, so she wasn't afraid that Mu Yuxi would go back on her word.
Just as Mu Yuxi finished writing the character "Mu", the ICU door was suddenly opened.
A nurse rushed out: "Where are Mu Weifeng's family? He's already awake."
Mu Yuxi's hand trembled, and she excitedly threw the pen away, not even caring about the schoolbag on her back, and immediately ran over.
Caught off guard, Madam Mu was splashed with ink all over her face.
"It's over, sis!" Ke Huizhu's expression changed. "Mu Weifeng is awake. What's the use of me calling that cardiologist again?"
Madam Mu wiped the ink off her face with a tissue, her expression cold, and remained calm: "You don't know about him. He has woken up, but he's not far from death."
"Several doctors that the Mu family invited at the time said that if Mu Weifeng vomited blood and fell into a coma at any time, then there would be no cure."
Mu Yuxi was unaware of this matter.
Mu Weifeng never told her the true state of his health, only reporting good news and never bad.
Of course, Madam Mu wouldn't say anything; she had to get Mu Yuxi's signature first.

Inside the ward.
After Mu Weifeng was wheeled in on a bed by the doctor and nurses, Mu Yuxi followed.
On the hospital bed, Mu Weifeng's face was very pale, and his breathing was very shallow.
He lay there, like a broken doll.
Upon hearing footsteps, Mu Weifeng slightly moved his head and uttered, "Xiaoxi."
Mu Yuxi's eyes reddened again, and the tears that had been welling up finally fell: "Brother."
She wouldn't cry in front of Madam Mu, but this is Mu Weifeng.
"Brother scared you." Mu Weifeng sighed. "Don't cry. Girls don't look pretty if they cry."
Mu Yuxi's tears fell even harder, and she didn't dare to touch Mu Weifeng: "Brother, brother, Fifth Aunt said she has connections to get you medical treatment, as long as I withdraw from the successor assessment."
She wiped away her tears, trying hard to hold back her sobs: "Brother, you'll be alright, you definitely will be."
Upon hearing this, Mu Weifeng frowned: "She's here again? And she's saying things like that to you?"
Madam Mu's methods were not underhanded; rather, they were blatant acts of taking advantage of someone's misfortune.
As if he had just thought of something, Mu Weifeng's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Xiaoxi, did you sign it?"
"Not yet." Mu Yuxi caught her breath. "You're awake. I'll come in and see you first."
Mu Weifeng's tone became stern: "Listen to your brother, you are not allowed to sign."
“But brother, your illness…” Mu Yuxi paused for a moment, “If she could say that, she definitely wouldn’t lie to me. Otherwise, even if Grandpa didn’t care, he wouldn’t just sit idly by.”
“Yes, I believe she can really bring that miracle doctor in cardiology and pulmonology.” Mu Weifeng coughed lightly a few times. “But I don’t accept her charity.”
"You don't need to agree to her. I know my own illness; it can only be delayed and won't get better."
"Even if she brings in that miracle doctor specializing in cardiology and pulmonology, it will only extend my life by a few years."
Mu Weifeng's eyes were very serious: "Xiaoxi, apart from your young age, you have no other shortcomings. I have high hopes for you in the competition for the successor."
Mu Yuxi didn't speak, her fingers gripping her clothes tightly.
Mu Weifeng slowly raised his hand and patted her head, his voice gentle: "Brother knows you're worried about me, but don't beg those kinds of people, and—"
He paused for a moment: "If you withdraw from the assessment, Mu Chenzhou will take over. Do you think the Mu family will be any better off after he becomes the heir?"
Mu Chenzhou was brought up by Madam Mu, so even if he hasn't revealed anything yet, it's only a matter of time.
Mu Yuxi remained silent.
There was another knock on the ward door.
The person who came in was the butler.
The butler, holding documents in his hand, had just returned from the doctor's. He asked with concern, "Young Master Weifeng, are you feeling better?"
Because their parents passed away early, Mu Weifeng and Mu Yuxi have always been cared for by him.
This was also Mu Heqing's instruction.
Mu Heqing was too busy at the time and couldn't take care of Mu Weifeng, but he had always cared about him.
The housekeeper couldn't bear to see such an outstanding person as Mu Weifeng die young.
"The surgery was a success." Mu Weifeng smiled. "You see, I can still talk to you now."
The butler breathed a sigh of relief, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and comforted him: "Young Master Weifeng, the master actually favors you the most. I heard from Mr. Mu Cheng that the master went to the ancient medical community immediately after learning that your condition had suddenly worsened this morning."
"If you can get a direct descendant of the Meng family to come, you'll be saved."
Mu Weifeng sighed: "They are willing to treat Grandpa's illness, but it's impossible for me."
The dream family doesn't flatter the idea of "doctors having the heart of parents."
Indeed, the Meng family was not the only one in the field of ancient medicine.
The Mu family only had connections with the Meng family; they couldn't get to know any other ancient medical families.
“There must be a way.” The butler disagreed. “Master should have already gone. I’ll go ask Mr. Mu Cheng now. Young Master Weifeng, you must hold on.”

at the same time.
The largest commercial street in the capital.
Ying Zijing was eating candied hawthorn. After taking a bite, she suddenly stopped.
She closed her eyes briefly, then squinted and looked up at the sky.
Teng Yun dreamt that she wouldn't leave, and asked in confusion, "Zi Jin, what's wrong?"
"I had a sudden urge to do some divination." Ying Zijin looked at the half-moon. "Mars is guarding the heart, an ominous sign, a bloody disaster, not a good thing."
Teng Yunmeng: "???"
She recognizes each word individually, but she can't understand them when they're put together.
"I'm not going back to the training camp tonight." Ying Zijin put the unfinished candied hawthorn into a paper bag. "Something's come up. Mengmeng, could you tell Professor Zuo for me?"
"You're not going back?" Teng Yunmeng was taken aback. "Training starts tomorrow, can you make it back in time?"
“Sure, no problem.” Ying Zijing said casually, pointing to the sky, “Look at that star, that’s Mars.”
Teng Yunmeng looked in the direction she was pointing, but she saw nothing: "..."
She suspected she was blind.
Or perhaps, the eyes of the person with the best looks in their group are extraordinary.
Ying Zijing put on her hat and put her hands in her pockets: "I'll be back once this Mars moves away from Antares."
Teng Yunmeng is indeed not visible.
Because this is Mu Weifeng's natal chart, which doesn't exist in the sky.
She only used the sky as a reference for observation.
Norton University's astrology department also teaches this.
She can't calculate a person's lifespan now, but based on Mu Weifeng's astrological chart, she can tell that he really doesn't have many days left to live.
Teng Yunmeng stared blankly at the girl's departing figure.
After a long pause, she took out her phone and made a call: "Hey, Feng Yue, don't you think Ying is a bit of a charlatan?"

Imperial Capital Hospital.
Mu Weifeng had already fallen asleep.
He had just undergone surgery and was still very weak.
Mu Yuxi didn't disturb him and left the ward to keep watch outside.
When she came out, it was already 10:30, but Madam Mu was still there.
He was obviously waiting for her.
"You've finished reading it?" Madam Mu remained composed, smiling gracefully. "Don't you know the situation yet? I've also read the doctor's report; your brother's lungs are completely covered by shadows."
"I suggest you sign it as soon as possible, otherwise even if I bring in a miracle doctor, your brother won't get better."
Mu Yuxi clenched her fingers: "I won't sign."
"Oh?" Madam Mu was not surprised. "What did your brother say to you? When a person is about to die, what is the point of maintaining their pride?"
Mu Yuxi replied with the same three words: "I won't sign."
"Fine, you won't sign." Madam Mu's face finally darkened, and she sneered, "You're just a girl, you can't support the Mu family. I originally just wanted to give you a chance to save your brother, but remember, it was you who didn't want it."
"I'd like to see who can save Mu Weifeng!"
After saying that, she picked up her bag and was about to leave.
As soon as I turned around, I bumped into several people.
It was the attending physician team that returned after leaving.
But they're not the only ones.
Ying Zijing took the sterile gloves from the nurse and put them on, still with that casual gesture: "I'll save her."
I'm going to the hospital during the day, so I'm updating this early. I'll update the rest tonight, so please check back after 6 PM!
Please vote with a monthly pass, and I'll update four more chapters tonight!
