Su Jing's face was pale. "It's my fault for troubling Wanwan again and again. But please believe me, when I first met Wanwan, it wasn't because I wanted to trouble her in every way. I just inexplicably liked Wanwan, which is why I became friends with her!"
Aunt Zheng nodded. "I believe that, and Master Zhan believes it too. Otherwise, do you think Master Zhan would have asked me to tell you so much?"
"Okay." Su Jing forced back her sadness. "Aunt Zheng, please tell Master Zhan that I will not trouble Wanwan anymore. He's right. I can't use Wanwan's status as the Ghost Hand Healer to ask for her help everywhere. Today she's my father-in-law, tomorrow she's my daughter. What's the difference between me and a vampire?"
Aunt Zheng sighed, "Mrs. Huo, I know you are a good person. Regarding this matter, all I can say is that Master Zhan is quite possessive of our lady. He just wants her to live peacefully and happily at home every day, undisturbed by outside people or things. I hope you can understand. In short, if you reduce your contact with our lady, Master Zhan will not make things difficult for you."
"Of course I understand. It was my fault. I failed to keep my relationship with Wanwan pure. I will never let this happen again."
"Okay." Aunt Zheng nodded. "Then I'll take my leave."
"I send you."
After seeing Zheng's mother off, Su Jing returned to the bench outside the ward and sat down, sobbing sadly...
"Mom." Huo Shiqian returned from outside and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Momo?"
"MoMo is fine, you don't need to worry."
"Then why are you crying like this?"
Su Jing cried even harder, "Master Zhan... he won't let me see Wanwan anymore..."
"What?" Huo Shiqian frowned. "When did this happen?"
"Aunt Zheng just came to deliver medicine to Momo and relayed this to me..."
Huo Shiqian sighed silently, “Zhan Jingting has always been arrogant and disdainful of others, but it’s understandable. People at his level don’t need to lower themselves to maintain relationships with others. So Mom, don’t be too sad. The Zhan family is superior to the Huo family in every way. In fact, we are doing her a favor by associating with Madam Zhan, not to mention that we have repeatedly asked her for help. It’s normal for Zhan Jingting to want to end our connection with her.”
"But Shi Qian, I didn't want to climb the social ladder by associating with Wanwan. Others may not know, but you do. I simply like her and didn't try to befriend her with any ulterior motives. This has nothing to do with whether she is Madam Zhan or not!"
"Mom, I know." Huo Shiqian gently patted her back to comfort her. "I know you like her without any ulterior motives, and Zhan Jingting knows it too. Otherwise, with his methods, it wouldn't be as simple as just having the housekeeper relay the message."
"Ugh..." Su Jing cried uncontrollably, "The thought of not being able to contact Wanwan anymore makes me so sad..."
"There's nothing we can do about it..."
......
Qiao Wanwan was unaware of what Zhan Jingting was doing behind her back. Because of the changing seasons, her third son caught a cold, and she was busy taking care of the children, so she didn't ask much about the Huo family's affairs.
Before we knew it, it was time for Old Master Huo's birthday banquet.
Qiao Wanwan did not go ahead of time, but instead ate dinner at home before setting off.
The Huo family's social circle didn't overlap with hers, and she didn't plan to stay long, thinking she would just say hello to Old Master Huo and then leave.
Jiang Dong accompanied Qiao Wanwan. When they were almost there, he contacted Lao Yang and learned that Old Master Huo was resting in his room.
Qiao Wanwan went directly to his room.
"Miss Qiao, you've arrived." Old Master Huo happily stood up to greet you. "Please have a seat."
"Thank you." Qiao Wanwan sat down. "I thought you would be entertaining guests in the banquet hall right now."
"I just came up here too," Old Master Huo said with a smile. "I'm getting old and my stamina isn't what it used to be. I went to socialize for more than half an hour and couldn't take it anymore, so I quickly came up here to relax."
Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "You were poisoned before, and you've just recovered from a serious illness. After a period of recuperation, your body will gradually become stronger."
"Thank you for your kind words."
Qiao Wanwan took out a small box from her bag. "Inside is a health-preserving prescription that I developed based on your constitution. If you take care of yourself according to this prescription, it will have the effect of prolonging your life. Consider it my gift to you. I wish you good health and a long life."
Grandpa Huo smiled and accepted it, "The health-preserving prescription from the Ghost Hand Doctor is a rare treasure that money can't buy!"
Standing to the side, Old Yang smiled and said, "Sir, this was custom-made for you by Madam Zhan. It's one of a kind in the world. This gift is extremely precious!"
"yes......"
"It's just a small favor." Qiao Wanwan took out a brocade box from her bag, opened it, and placed it on the coffee table.
Inside was that jade bracelet.
Old Master Huo was taken aback. "Miss Qiao, what do you mean by this?"
Qiao Wanwan explained, "My husband has already had someone examine this jade bracelet. It is a rare treasure, priceless. It is too valuable for me to accept. Now that it is being returned to its rightful owner, please be sure to take it back."
“Miss Qiao, there’s no reason to take back something that’s been given away,” said Old Master Huo. “Even the most precious things have a price, but the kindness you showed me in saving me is truly priceless. Miss Qiao, you absolutely cannot refuse.”
“I appreciate your kind offer, but I absolutely will not accept this jade bracelet. Please understand.” Qiao Wanwan stood up. “I have other matters to attend to, so I will head back now. I wish you good health and a long life once again.”
"Miss Qiao, please wait a moment!" Old Master Huo hurriedly said, "Miss Qiao is unwilling to accept the jade bracelet, I can take it back, but could you please stay and attend my birthday banquet?"
