Fortunately, Yan Zhuo was wearing thick clothes. Apart from a serious injury to the back of her neck, she was able to rinse it off in time. The affected area was small, and overall she was fine.
Even so, Dean Bai was still heartbroken.
Give the compensation from the Kuang family to Yan Zhuo.
"This is already the best possible outcome."
"I see."
"besides......."
"What?"
Dean Bai looked conflicted. "The Kwong family asked us to keep Kwong Mei's situation confidential. I don't know if I should. I'm also worried that if we tell anyone, she will be discriminated against."
"Whether she says it or not doesn't really matter. After getting to know her a few more times, you'll find that Kwong Mei isn't very quick-witted."
Dean Bai thought so too, "That's right. If we really decide to form a marriage alliance with the Kuang family, we definitely won't just meet a few times. With more time spent together, we can get to know them pretty well."
Yan Zhuo fell silent, seemingly lost in thought.
Dean Bai thought he was enduring pain.
"Your skin will be sore for a few days, so you should rest at home for the next few days!"
Yan Zhuo shook her head, "No... Mom, I don't want to go on blind dates anymore."
Dean Bai choked for a moment, then said, "Okay. I'll talk to your father about Kuang Mei. I don't know what he'll do in the end, but I think it should be able to drag it out for a year or two."
Yan Zhuo said, "Every bit of time we can buy us is a good thing."
Dean Bai helped Yan Zhuo pick up the ointment. "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Come on! Let's go out and get something to eat."
The two ate something near the hospital, and during the meal, Yan Zhuo received a call from Kuang Mei.
Kuang Mei was very unhappy about Dean Bai's visit to their home. "Your mother went too far! Do you know how much less money our family made on that order?"
Dean Bai, speaking over the phone, regretted once again introducing Kuang Mei to his son.
Yan Zhuo, "Do you know you hurt me?"
Kuang Mei didn't take it seriously. "It's just a little redness on the skin. Can that be considered an injury?"
Yan Zhuo, “…”
Dean Bai, “…”
Dean Bai couldn't help himself and immediately called Mr. Kuang.
As soon as Mr. Kuang answered the call, he was met with a barrage of sarcastic remarks from Dean Bai.
"We agreed that this matter should end here. Why is Kuang Mei calling and yelling at Yan Zhuo now? If you're not satisfied, then don't sign the contract."
Mr. Kuang was taken aback, then said, "Wait a minute."
Just as Mr. Kuang reached the door of Kuang Mei's room, he heard her demand that Yan Zhuo return the contract.
Mr. Kuang pushed the door open and went in.
When Kuang Mei saw him, she gestured for him to wait a moment, "I'll have Yan Zhuo send the contract back right away."
Considering the presence of Dean Bai and his son on the other end of the phone, Mr. Kuang tried his best to control his temper, saying, "You better behave yourself."
Kuang Mei immediately fell silent; her father's expression was terrifying.
Mr. Kwong then put the phone to his ear, saying, "Kwong Mei is being immature; please forgive her."
Dean Bai said, "They're just kids! I understand."
Mr. Kuang: "That's good."
The two exchanged a few more polite words before hanging up the phone.
Mr. Kuang took Kuang Mei's phone and deleted Yan Zhuo's phone number.
They even checked the call logs.
"Dad? What are you doing?"
She hasn't gotten the contract back yet.
"You are not allowed to contact Yan Zhuo again!"
Kuang Mei pouted, about to speak, when her father used his trump card, "If you don't behave, I'll cut off your allowance for six months."
Kuang Mei quickly changed her mind, "I will definitely not contact Yan Zhuo again. Even if we meet face to face, I will turn around and leave."
Mr. Kuang shook his head helplessly and handed the phone back to her. "Listen to me, okay?"
"knew."
As he left, Mr. Kuang felt extremely depressed.
Before Jian Yu and his two companions had finished their meal, Uncle Li called.
"Young Master, something terrible has happened. They called from the old mansion and said that Huang Ling told the old lady about their family's bankruptcy when the master and mistress weren't paying attention. The old lady was furious and scolded the master and mistress on the spot. Just as she was about to have the old housekeeper call you, the old lady suddenly showed signs of a stroke and has been rushed to the hospital."
"How did they get into the house? Weren't we given orders that they weren't allowed to go in?"
"It was the old lady who summoned them. Before they came, the master told them not to talk nonsense, and they agreed. But in the blink of an eye, Huang Ruo blurted it out."
Huo Qizhen said coldly, "Huang Ruo?"
"Yes. She said her family has been having a tough time lately. The clothes she was wearing were bought for her by her grandmother, and she hadn't bought herself any new clothes for months. She said her father was still wearing his old clothes, and that her family couldn't even afford to buy vegetables anymore. They hadn't eaten shark fin in a long time. The end of the year is coming soon, and she hopes that the old lady can give them some money so they can have a good New Year."
Grandma Huo treated Huang Ling like her own son. At first, when she saw that he had lost weight, she thought he had successfully lost weight.
I never imagined it was bankruptcy-related depression.
Seeing her nephew's pleading expression, Old Mrs. Huo smashed several cups.
"Fine! You won't help your own people, and you won't even let them ask me for help. Do you even respect me?"
Huo An and Xu Que were extremely angry with the Huang family of three, but dared not refute Old Madam Huo.
Xu Que said, "Qizhen didn't say it was impossible. If Qizhen had given the order, we wouldn't have done it."
Even though she knew Xu Que was trying to shift the blame, Old Madam Huo was still furious. "Call Huo Qizhen back here!"
The old housekeeper had just taken out his phone, ready to call Huo Qizhen.
Suddenly, Mrs. Huo tilted her head to the side, her mouth became crooked, her speech became unclear, and saliva was drooling out of her mouth.
Everyone was startled and hurriedly took her to the hospital.
Before taking him to the hospital, Xu Que secretly instructed the old housekeeper, "Send Qizhen a message to inform him that he is negotiating a big business deal tonight. Old Li is getting on in years, I don't know if he will mind? Or wait for Qizhen to see the message himself and arrange a time to come out. There are a few of us at the hospital, so don't worry."
The old housekeeper knew perfectly well that Xu Que didn't want Huo Qizhen to arrive at the hospital too early.
Everyone knows that when Kenneth Fok is discussing important business, he will switch his phone from vibrate to silent mode.
I only check occasionally to see if there are any new messages.
If there's an emergency, he always calls his assistant first, and the assistant relays the message.
The old butler replied, "Yes, sir."
He then forwarded the information to Uncle Li.
Upon receiving the message, Uncle Li immediately contacted Huo Qizhen by phone.
How does Grandma look?
"It's not good."
Huo Qizhen stood up, and Jian Yu and Huo Tingzhen immediately followed him out.
"Where are the Huang family of three?"
"The master originally wanted to detain them, but the old lady kept her eyes on Huang Ling, so he let them go to the hospital with her."
"I understand. Take a group of people to the hospital immediately and find an opportunity to bring them out."
"yes."
When Huo Qizhen, Jian Yu, and Huo Tingzhen arrived at the hospital, Old Mrs. Huo had just been taken into the emergency room, and the three of them only caught a glimpse of the doctor's white coat.
The moment the emergency room door closed, Huang Ling turned around and slapped Huang Ru hard across the face.
