This scene made Fang Youling break out in a cold sweat, "Xiao Wu, what are you doing?"
"Acupuncture to remove toxins," Lin Wu replied.
So it was acupuncture!
Fang Youling breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew there was a magical treatment in Chinese medicine called acupuncture.
But she had only ever heard of it.
She had never seen it with her own eyes.
She had thought the art of acupuncture only existed in martial arts novels, but here it was in real life, and her granddaughter knew how to perform it.
Lin Wu continued, "Grandma Wu never gave Grandpa acupuncture before?"
"Never."
Lin Wu’s face showed no complexity, "Can you tell me about her? For example, how did you come to know Grandma Wu."
"Of course," Fang Youling said.
"Speaking of which, Grandma Wu is actually my lifesaver," Fang Youling’s thoughts drifted back many years, "Fifteen years ago, your grandfather and I heard that there was news of your mother in a remote mountain village in Wucheng, so we went there overnight. At that time, transportation wasn’t as developed as it is now, and it took us three days to enter the village. The village was large, surrounded by mountains, and when we arrived, it just happened to be during an outbreak of an infectious disease."
"Both your grandpa and I were unfortunate enough to contract the disease, running high fevers that wouldn’t break. One morning, when I went out to look for your mother, I fainted by the roadside, and it was Grandma Wu who found me and saved your grandpa and me. If not for her, we might have died long ago."
So, until she could find her daughter and granddaughter, Fang Youling trusted Wu Muzhen more than anyone else.
After all, this woman had given her a second chance at life.
According to Fang Youling’s description, Wu Muzhen was likely a local from that mountain village.
Lin Wu frowned unnoticeably, "How did she come to follow you and grandpa to the Capital City then?"
"When Grandma Wu was young, she was actually a pitiful person," Fang Youling’s voice was close to choking, "Back then, the family she married into was inhuman, they despised her for being infertile, and she was also abused. On the night your grandpa and I were preparing to head back to the Capital City, her husband beat her half to death again. We saw she was so pitiful and suggested taking her with us."
"At first, Grandma Wu wasn’t willing at all. She had this foolish loyalty! She believed a woman couldn’t survive without a man. It was only after I persuaded her thoroughly that she reluctantly agreed to leave with us."
"Because she was skilled in medicine, after we returned to the Capital City, I opened a small clinic for her, and later, she became the Tang Family’s family doctor."
"..."
Lin Wu nodded slightly, then said, "What about Aunt Fang? Can you tell me about her?"
"Xiao Wu, are you curious why Aunt Fang has always lived with us?" Fang Youling asked. freewebnσvel.cѳm
"Yes." Lin Wu didn’t hide her curiosity.
Fang Youling began to talk about Fang Hongyu’s story.
Fang Youling’s expression was one of pain when she mentioned her short-lived younger brother, and when Du Juan was mentioned, it was filled with resentment.
"Du Juan was too cruel. That year when your aunt was only twelve years old, she heartlessly abandoned her, taking all of your granduncle’s fortune to elope with someone! It made your aunt an orphan at such a young age. I felt so much pity for your aunt that I took her home with me."
"How old was my mother at that time?" Lin Wu asked.
"Your mother was still in my belly then," Fang Youling answered.
Lin Wu nodded slightly, "How did my aunt react when my mom was born?"
"Your aunt has always been an obedient and good child. She liked your mom a lot and often helped me take care of her! On the day your mother disappeared, she was at school. Even though this had nothing to do with her, she still blames herself, saying that if she hadn’t gone to school that day, your mom wouldn’t have gone missing."
Went missing?
Lin Wu’s brows tightened slightly, and long lashes hid the emotions in her eyes.
Fang Hongyu wasn’t home that day; how did she determine that Lin Guixiang had gone missing rather than being abducted?
Perhaps.
The disappearance of her mother was not an accident at all.
"Grandma, there’s something that I’ve always found quite strange," Lin Wu said.
"What is it?" Fang Youling looked up at Lin Wu.
Lin Wu’s lips parted slightly, "You said that you had a paternity test done with my mom eighteen years ago, but it showed that the DNA didn’t match, right?"
"Right," Fang Youling nodded.
"The identification System was already very accurate eighteen years ago, and besides, the testing center was one you had invested in. Don’t you find that strange?"
Fang Youling hadn’t thought much about it until Lin Wu brought it up now, but hearing it, she felt surrounded by doubts.
