Ye Mohan reached out and pulled her to the dining table, thoughtfully pulling out a chair for her. Only after she was seated did he return to sit opposite her.
Lin's mother served the food quickly, and a table full of colorful and delicious breakfast dishes was soon laid out on the table.
Ye Mohan got up, picked up a spoon, scooped a bowl of porridge, and handed it to Jian Yixue: "Try it. This is what Lin Ma tried to make based on the ingredients you had that day. See if it suits your taste."
Jian Yixue took it back, tasted it, and was amazed by her taste buds: "It's delicious! Lin Ma's cooking skills are getting better and better. I only made it once and it's already so delicious. You're amazing."
Ye Mohan smiled and said, "Eat more if you like it. Just tell Aunt Lin if you want anything else in the future."
Jian Yixue nodded and continued eating.
Halfway through the meal, Ye Mohan's phone rang. Seeing that it was a call from the old house, he put down his chopsticks and answered it.
"Young Master, come back quickly! The old man has fainted!" came an anxious voice from the other end of the phone.
Ye Mohan paused, his brow furrowing. "Where are we now?"
"At home, young master, as you know, the old man doesn't like to go to the hospital. Dr. Zhao has already come to diagnose the old man."
The anxious voice from the other side came again, and at the same time, the faint sound of servants walking back and forth could be heard.
Hearing this, Ye Mohan felt a little relieved.
"I'll be right back."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, his anxious expression not lessening in the slightest. He looked at Jian Yixue and said, "I have to go back to the old house right away."
Jian Yixue kept her eyes on Ye Mohan the whole time, not missing the worry on his face, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"Grandpa has fainted."
Jian Yixue was very surprised. How could he have fainted out of nowhere? "Is it serious? Which hospital are you in? I'll go with you."
Ye Mohan's expression was serious, and worry was evident in his eyes: "I don't know. Grandpa refuses to go to the hospital. Dr. Zhao has already gone there. I'll call Yuxuan later and ask him to go too."
Jian Yixue nodded with a furrowed brow and said with concern, "Then you should call Yuxuan right away and ask him to come over. We should also set off immediately."
Ye Mohan nodded and made a phone call: "Go to the Ye family's old house immediately, the old man has fainted."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan, who was in the lab across from him, immediately put down what he was doing and hurriedly set off.
"Okay, I'm already on my way."
Ye Mohan hummed in agreement and hung up the phone.
Seeing this, Jian Yixue quickly pulled Ye Mohan toward the garage. Halfway there, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't brought anything with her, so she called out to Ye Mohan, "Mohan, I'm going to get something. It might be useful. Wait for me, I'll be down soon."
After saying that, Jian Yixue quickly ran back to her bedroom, grabbed the acupuncture kit she had used to save someone on the roadside, stuffed it into her handbag, and ran downstairs.
Ye Mohan didn't know what she wanted to do. Although he was very worried about his grandfather's condition, he patiently waited for Jian Yixue.
However, Jian Yixue didn't keep him waiting for long. She ran down in less than a minute, carrying a bag, and said breathlessly to Ye Mohan, "Hurry up and go, the illness can't be delayed."
Seeing her like this, Ye Mohan felt a little sorry for her, but at the moment he was worried about his grandfather's condition, so he had no choice but to let her suffer for a while and pulled her towards the garage.
Then a black Bentley sped out of the underground parking lot.
Jian Yixue, sitting in the car, didn't say anything as she watched the cars speeding away; she understood his feelings.
His parents were gone when he was young, and he was raised by Old Master Ye. In her previous life, she had heard that Ye Mohan and Old Master Ye had a very good relationship. Even though his second uncle caused trouble, Old Master Ye left the Ye family to Ye Mohan without hesitation.
In her previous life, she hadn't paid much attention to Old Master Ye. She only knew that he had become paralyzed and bedridden a little over a year after their marriage and had been in a vegetative state ever since. She didn't know that he had fainted so early.
In this life, she hopes to keep Ye Mohan's grandfather, who is his only source of kinship in this world.
The car quickly stopped in front of the Ye family's old residence. Ye Mohan hurriedly got out of the car, and Jian Yixue did not linger either, getting out of the car at almost the same time as Ye Mohan.
Ye Mohan walked over, took Jian Yixue's hand, and led her inside. As soon as they entered the gate, they saw Butler Jin guarding the entrance.
When Butler Jin saw Ye Mohan bring Jian Yixue over, he was surprised for a moment, but his anxiety quickly masked his surprise: "Young Master, Young Madam, you've arrived. Dr. Zhou just went upstairs."
The two nodded to Butler Jin and immediately headed upstairs to the old man's room.
When the two arrived, Dr. Zhao and several servants were standing not far from the bed. Zhou Yuxuan was already examining Old Master Ye at the bedside. Since it was best not to disturb the doctor during a consultation, the two quietly walked over to Dr. Zhao and waited for the results together.
Jian Yixue was standing to the side, secretly observing the unconscious Old Master Ye on the bed. Seeing that his face was lifeless and slightly bluish, her expression instantly became serious.
Someone poisoned the old man, but who could break through all the defenses to poison him?
The old man hasn't stepped down for many years now, so who does he offend?
Jian Yixue was puzzled.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. Since she was far away, she didn't take her pulse or observe carefully, so she wasn't entirely sure at the moment.
We can only wait for Zhou Yuxuan's diagnosis to see if it aligns with her thoughts.
After a long while, Zhou Yuxuan, who was examining patients by the bedside, turned around. His complexion was not good, his brows were furrowed, and he did not speak for a moment.
Seeing this, Ye Mohan asked everyone in the inner room to leave, then asked with concern, "How is the old man?"
Zhou Yuxuan remained silent for a long time. The preliminary diagnosis from the examination was poisoning, but the old man was surrounded by people who had been with him for decades, and the area was heavily guarded, so no outsider could get in.
"It's poisoning!" This wasn't a question, it was a statement of certainty.
After everyone left, Jian Yixue went to the old man's bedside, quickly checked his pupils, and took his pulse. A slight smile appeared on her lips as she confirmed her suspicions.
Zhou Yuxuan looked at Jian Yixue in surprise: "You know medicine?"
Jian Yixue nodded guiltily and looked at Ye Mohan, who had a puzzled expression.
Although she hadn't planned to hide herself in this life, when she first revealed her true identity to Ye Mohan, she was still a little afraid that he would suspect that she had ill intentions in approaching him.
When Ye Mohan heard Jian Yixue's words, he initially thought she was talking nonsense. However, when he heard Zhou Yuxuan ask her a question and Jian Yixue nodded, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at his little wife thoughtfully.
Jian Yixue naturally saw Ye Mohan's gaze, but now was not a good time to explain; dealing with the old man's illness was the priority.
“I can wake him up temporarily, but the specific detoxification method will take some time. It would be best if Yuxuan could have a blood sample tested to see what toxins are in it, so that I can prescribe the right medicine.”
