“Miss,” Aunt Zhang, the nanny, came in and handed a small box to Yun Suiwan, “the person who delivered this said it was ordered by Young Master Lu.”
Yun Suiwan smiled slightly. What did Lu Dongjue bring her?
She opened a corner of the box and glimpsed the medicine's logo.
"Wanwan!" Shen Xinghui and Lin Zhibai walked in. "How's your hand?"
Yun Suiwan shook her head. "It's just a small tooth mark."
It wasn't a dog bite, so there's no need for a rabies vaccine.
"We can't be careless even if someone bites you." Shen Xinghui gestured to the nanny to quickly bring over the first-aid kit.
“Young Master Shen is right, we need to apply the medicine immediately.” Huo Beichen followed him in, carrying a small medicine box.
Yun Suiwan pretended not to see it, "I'm tired, I'm going upstairs to rest first."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Back in her room, she looked down at her wound; there were two teeth marks, one deep and one shallow, the deeper one quite deep.
I didn't realize Yun Wanqing was such a dog.
"Young Miss," Aunt Zhang, the nanny, brought her in a cup of hot milk. "Let me apply your medicine."
Aunt Zhang moved swiftly, picked up the box that Lu Dongjue had sent, and opened it in a few quick movements.
"Hey, don't let the small size of the box fool you, it's packed with stuff."
"Young Master Lu usually has a bad temper, but he is very considerate to Miss."
Aunt Zhang said this while applying the medicine.
“Aunt Zhang, if you keep talking, I’ll start to suspect that you’ve been bribed by Lu Dongjue,” Yun Suiwan said, a smile unconsciously playing on her lips.
Aunt Zhang could tell that she was genuinely angry but pretending.
"If Young Master Lu really wants to bribe me, I might consider it." Aunt Zhang curled her lip. "I wouldn't pay any attention to that guy downstairs no matter how much money he offers."
Yun Suiwan smiled. "Why?"
Aunt Zhang looked disgusted: "His own son is missing, and he still wants to please women. What a piece of trash."
“Miss, although he is trying to please you, I still think he is unreliable.”
Yun Suiwan didn't mind, and she also felt that Aunt Zhang was right.
Once Zeze returns safely, her marriage to Huo Beichen should come to an end.
...
Seeing that Shen Xinghui and Lin Zhibai were still sitting on the sofa, Huo Beichen said, "Young Master Lin, Young Master Shen, you two don't need to worry about my son's matter. You should go home and rest early."
Lin Zhibai and Shen Xinghui exchanged a glance.
Is this guy trying to kick them out?
The two of them remained silent, pretending not to hear.
Huo Beichen's eyes were filled with anger, but he patiently continued, "Young Master Lin, Young Master Shen, I will discuss my son's matter with Sui Wanhui. Please leave."
He spoke so rudely; if they didn't respond, it would seem like they were afraid of him.
Lin Zhibai stretched and lay down on the sofa. "President Huo, what is Yun Suiwan to you?" he asked.
Huo Beichen raised an eyebrow: "Fiancée."
Lin Zhibai then asked, "Do you know who Yun Suiwan is to me?"
Huo Beichen smiled dismissively: "We just know each other."
“Yun Suiwan and I played in the mud together when we were still wearing open-crotch pants,” Lin Zhibai said. “Back then, we didn’t even know that there was a President Huo in this world.”
Huo Beichen's expression grew increasingly grim.
Lin Zhibai didn't care. "Let me tell you, Huo Beichen, even if you and Wanwan aren't married yet, you have no right to speak in this house!"
Shen Xinghui continued, "President Huo, here's some honest advice: if you want to marry Wanwan, you need to show some real skills. Just being good with words won't do."
Lin Zhibai and Shen Xinghui were also baffled by his thought process.
If he can't even handle a woman like Chen Lizhen, how dare he stay here?
“Xinghui, you can’t say that,” Lin Zhibai suddenly changed the subject. “President Huo is quite a handsome man, and he must have charmed quite a few girls with his smooth talk.”
Shen Xinghui nodded as if to be serious, "A handsome man depends on who you compare him to. Compared to Young Master Lu, he's probably not quite there yet."
Lin Zhibai shook his head: "Don't belittle President Huo. He at least has one thing in common with Young Master Lu."
Shen Xinghui humbly asked, "What?"
Lin Zhibai replied, "Same gender."
"Hahaha..." Lin Zhibai laughed unrestrainedly.
Huo Beichen glared angrily at Lin Zhibai and took a step forward.
Shen Xinghui immediately stood up and blocked Lin Zhibai's path, "What do you want to do!"
Lin Zhibai said casually, "Xinghui, sit down. I want to see what President Huo can do to me."
He almost said, "Come here if you dare."
Huo Beichen's fists were clenched so tightly they were sweating.
But reason told him that, in terms of family strength, he was indeed no match for the Lin family.
He needs to learn to be patient.
After a brief standoff, Huo Beichen turned and left the Yun family.
A moment later, the Yun family's butler walked in.
"Did the guy surnamed Huo leave?" Lin Zhibai asked.
The butler nodded. "Yes, Young Master Lin. He has a message for me to pass on to Miss."
"Speak," Yun Suiwan said as she went downstairs.
“Miss,” the butler replied, “Mr. Huo wants you to rest well and not worry about Zeze anymore.”
"Hmm." Yun Suiwan responded, realizing that Huo Beichen was just saying that out of anger.
"Wanwan, listen to him, just ignore him for now," Lin Zhibai snorted.
Who is Huo Beichen arguing with?
"Alright," Yun Suiwan pouted, "I heard you two making fun of Huo Beichen with your 'crosstalk' just now, and that was a little too much."
Lin Zhibai was still angry, "I can do even worse things."
As he was speaking, his phone suddenly rang.
He answered the phone, his expression turning serious.
"Is there any news about Zeze?" Yun Suiwan asked immediately after he hung up the phone.
"We've found a concrete lead and are verifying it," Lin Zhibai nodded.
"Discuss it with Dong Jue right away," Shen Xinghui suggested.
Lin Zhibai gestured for him to remain calm and wait for his subordinates to report back accurate information.
...
"Daughter, are you asleep?" Gu's mother knocked on Gu Fanyan's bedroom door. "Have a bowl of bird's nest soup before you sleep. I had the nanny put in artificial sweetener, so you don't have to worry about gaining weight... Fanyan, Fanyan..."
Only then did Gu's mother realize that the room door was unlocked.
She pushed open the door and went in, only to see Gu Fanyan lying on the sofa, curled up, looking very uncomfortable.
"Daughter!" Mother Gu hurriedly put down the bird's nest and rushed forward to check on her.
Gu Fanyan's cheeks were flushed, she was covered in cold sweat, and her lips were chapped and peeling.
My forehead is burning hot!
"Someone come quick! Fan Yan has a fever!"
Soon, the housekeeper and nanny rushed over and together helped Gu Fanyan to lie down on the bed.
Taking temperatures, applying cold compresses, and calling the doctor were all carried out in an orderly manner.
Mrs. Gu was extremely anxious. "Should we take him to the hospital? How could he suddenly have a fever? Could the persistent high fever damage his brain...?"
"Madam," a nanny suddenly said, "it seems the young lady said something..."
Gu's mother immediately came to the bedside, looking at her daughter with heartache: "Daughter, have you said anything? What do you want to say?"
