Qiao Wanwan: "......"
"Let's skip that."
“I’m telling the truth,” Old Yang said. “Actually, my husband isn’t a bad person. Last time he asked me to intercept you on the way, it wasn’t because he really wanted to hurt you, but just to scare you. After all, he thought you were a young girl in your early twenties and would be afraid of such a scene.”
"Whether he is a good person or a bad person has nothing to do with me. I am here today to detoxify him because I am doing what I was asked to do. I will have no further contact with him in the future."
Old Yang was taken aback again, then smiled and said, "Madam Zhan, forgive my bluntness, but your stubbornness is more like that of our master."
Qiao Wanwan: "......" This conversation is over!
Qiao Wanwan focused intently on detoxifying herself all night, while Lao Yang stayed by her side all night, occasionally bringing her coffee and snacks.
As dawn approached, the detoxification process finally ended. Qiao Wanwan yawned, leaned against the single sofa by the bed, and fell asleep.
Grandpa Huo slowly opened his eyes and saw the familiar ceiling, feeling a sense of disorientation as to what day it was.
It took him a while to catch his breath before his memory returned. He turned his head and saw a young girl sitting by the bed, fast asleep with her eyes closed.
Old Master Huo was immediately taken aback!
Having lived to this age, he is extremely wary.
Even when I was young, I would keep a gun under my pillow while I slept. If it were any other time, I would have grabbed the gun as soon as I woke up and found a stranger next to me!
But the girl in front of him did not make him feel wary!
Perhaps it was because she looked so adorable while sleeping that it reminded him of his granddaughter, Momo, when she was little...
While Old Master Huo was lost in thought, the door was suddenly opened.
Old Yang was overjoyed to see Old Master Huo awake. "Sir, you're awake! That's wonderful! You're finally awake! Are you feeling alright anywhere? I'll go call the doctor!"
"Shh..." Old Master Huo gestured for him to be quiet, "Keep your voice down, who is she?"
Old Yang hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Master, she is Qiao Wanwan, also known as the Ghost Hand Doctor. The young master invited her to detoxify you!"
"Am I poisoned?"
"Yes, the situation is very serious. The hospital has done all the tests, but they still can't figure out what's wrong. Fortunately, the young master found out that Qiao Wanwan is the Ghost Hand Doctor and invited her here!"
"She's Qiao Wanwan?" Old Master Huo frowned. "Zhan Jingting's wife, Qiao Wanwan?"
“That’s right.” Old Yang hesitated for a moment, then said, “Sir, although she was the one who sent Miss Ruan Tang to prison, she saved your life this time. Please don’t be angry with her anymore.”
"I'm not that confused." Old Master Huo stared at Qiao Wanwan's sleeping face. "This child really has a kind face..."
Old Yang breathed a sigh of relief. The old man was known for his doting on the younger generation, and he was afraid that he would dislike Qiao Wanwan because of Ruan Tang's matter.
On the one hand, Lao Yang felt that Qiao Wanwan was not a bad person; on the other hand, the Huo family could not afford to offend the Zhan family. If they clashed head-on, it would inevitably result in a situation where the enemy would suffer eight hundred casualties and they themselves would suffer a thousand.
"Yes," Old Yang stated. "I kept an eye on things here all night. She did her best to detoxify you and didn't close her eyes all night. She only managed to doze off for a little while after confirming that the detoxification was complete."
"I never expected that she would put aside past grievances to help me detoxify. She's a good girl."
"Yes, that's rare. They have everything they need; you can't just hire them because you have money," Old Yang said. "This also shows that you, sir, are blessed with good fortune and a long life, which is why you were able to turn danger into safety."
Old Master Huo composed himself and asked, "How could I have suddenly been poisoned?"
"I don't know. Madam Zhan said that you were poisoned through oral ingestion, but you are very particular about your diet, sir. How could you have been poisoned by accident?"
After a moment of contemplation, Old Master Huo asked, "Has anything gone wrong at home these past few days?"
"Yes, Miss Aiyun and her husband came back yesterday, bringing with them an old Chinese medicine doctor. After examining you, he said that only Miss Ruan Tang's blood could save you. He asked the young master to get Miss Ruan Tang out of prison, but the young master refused, and the two women had a falling out."
Old Master Huo frowned deeply. "Is that so?"
"I wouldn't dare to deceive the master."
“Alright,” said Old Master Huo. “Don’t tell anyone that I’ve woken up.”
"Master, why is this?" Old Yang asked, puzzled. "It's good that you've woken up. The young master and the others will be overjoyed when they find out."
"I have my own purpose, you don't need to ask so many questions."
Old Yang nodded, "Yes, I'll listen to you, sir."
......
Qiao Wanwan was awakened by a commotion.
She instinctively looked at Old Master Huo on the bed, who was still asleep.
Qiao Wanwan took his pulse, her brows furrowing slightly.
The door was opened at that moment, and a large group of people poured in.
Old Yang stepped forward and asked, "Miss Aiyun, what are you doing?"
Huo Aiyun said, "Where's Shi Qian? Tell him to come out!"
Old Yang frowned. "Isn't it inappropriate for you to bring so many people into the master's room so early in the morning?"
“The people I brought aren’t outsiders, but directors of the Huo Group.” Huo Aiyun looked at Qiao Wanwan, her eyes flashing with sharp hatred. “If we’re talking about outsiders, she’s the one!”
"Shi Qian must have lost his mind to leave such a little bitch in my dad's room!"
“Miss Aiyun, please don’t speak so harshly. Madam Zhan is here to treat the master’s illness; she is a benefactor of the Huo family.”
"Pah!" Huo Aiyun sneered, "She sent my daughter to prison. Anyone who dares to treat her as a benefactor is my enemy! Old Yang, if you say another word, believe me, I'll fire you right now!"
