"Thank you, Grandpa Chen. Qiaowa will cherish this gift."
Lu Siqiao held the pocket watch in both hands as if it were a priceless treasure.
Old Chen then inquired about Miao Yu's health and said he would have his family doctor come over to take a look.
Chen Luoxia, standing to the side, was so frightened that she dared not breathe, her forehead covered in beads of sweat, and her back was already soaked.
If she had known that the old lady had this powerful figure backing her up, she would never have dared to harbor any disloyal thoughts.
But there's no going back.
"As people get older, they develop more ailments. I'll remember your kindness," Miao Yu said calmly, though her tone was quite haughty.
Old Chen didn't mind, and turned to look at Lu Siqiao, saying kindly, "Qiaowa, do you want to stay at your grandma's house or go back to your grandpa He's house? Or you can come and stay at Grandpa Chen's house for a while. There are many little kids your age in our compound."
He did not mention Chen Luoxia at all.
Clearly, she, Jova's biological mother, is not someone Jova needs to consider.
Chen Luoxia clenched her fists nervously beside her, but tried her best to maintain a polite smile and said, "Qiaowa, your grandmother is in poor health. Why don't you spend more time with her?"
Suddenly, she felt a sharp, cold glint in her eye and lowered her head in fright: "Whatever you like."
Lu Siqiao smiled sweetly at Grandpa Chen: "Thank you, Grandpa Chen. I'll stay at the Fang family's house for now. Once the enrollment procedures are completed and everything is ready, Qiaowa will have her grandma take me to visit you."
Old Chen nodded.
Seeing that it was almost time, he glanced at Cai Ming and his wife behind him.
Cai Ming said to Lu Siqiao, "Qiaowa, since you want to stay in the Fang family, your godfather will send your luggage over later."
With Old Master Chen's formidable reputation intimidating, it's likely that Chen Luoxia wouldn't dare to bully Qiaowa anymore.
"Mrs. Cheng, could you please make an exception for her later? Please don't turn her away." Cai Ming then looked at Chen Luoxia and kindly reminded her, "We're not strangers, we won't run away with Qiao Wa. We're too busy taking care of her to think about it. Don't you think so?"
All eyes in the room turned to Chen Luoxia.
She wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it.
“Yes, when the old lady was seriously ill, I panicked. Now that she has recovered, Mr. Cai can come whenever he wants.” Chen Luoxia said through gritted teeth when she saw that he had even given her his husband’s surname.
Cai Mingchao nodded to Old Chen.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Miao Yu asked Lu Siqiao to see them out.
Lu Siqiao followed behind Old Chen with her schoolbag on her back. As if anticipating what he wanted to ask, she took out a box of medicine and handed it to him, saying, "Grandpa Chen, my grandma got better after taking this medicine. I think it's good for her health, so I thought I'd share it with you and take a box home for you."
Old Chen saw that it was an exquisite box containing three transparent glass bottles of medicine.
There is no manufacturing date or trademark.
The effect was surprisingly good.
Others may not know, but the news that Old Chen had inquired about was that Miao Yu was critically ill and would only live for a few days.
Miao Yu is indeed in good spirits now, and doesn't look sick at all.
Thinking of the fortuitous encounter Lu Siqiao had, as He Zhangzhi had described, Old Chen was filled with emotion.
Such a good child, and with such extraordinary skills, how could Chen Luoxia be so desperate as to want to kill her?
"Good child, Grandpa Chen won't take your things for nothing." Old Chen tightened his grip on the gift box, his gaze softening even more as he looked at her.
Lu Siqiao smiled and said, "Grandpa Chen has done so much for Qiaowa, he can never repay him in this lifetime."
As they reached the door and Mr. Chen got into the car, Lu Siqiao straightened up and gave him a salute.
Old Chen was stunned for a moment, then he raised his hand tremblingly...
When Lu Siqiao returned to the hall, she saw Chen Luoxia kneeling on the ground, explaining something to Miao Yu.
"Mom, I was confused for a moment. Please forgive me this time." Chen Luoxia was as wilted as a frostbitten eggplant, all her previous arrogance gone, and she was completely dejected.
Miao Yu sat at the head of the table, her gaze cold and desolate: "Ah Xia, how could I not understand your feelings? But you really made a mistake!"
Chen Luoxia silently shed tears, as if she wanted to vent her grievances: "Mom, I only wanted to save Dingding. Even if I was wrong, it was out of necessity."
"Foolish! Have you ever thought about what would happen if Qiao Wa donated her kidney to Ding Ding and neither of them ended up well? Wouldn't you be ruining Qiao Wa's life?" Miao Yu slammed her hand on the coffee table and said coldly, "Ding Ding's health isn't something that can be fixed overnight. Do you really think a kidney transplant will make him better? Don't be so naive."
Chen Luoxia collapsed to the ground, saying recklessly, "I don't care, I'm going to try. What if both sisters get better? Wouldn't that be a happy ending for everyone?"
Miao Yu remained silent.
Chen Luoxia pleaded, "Mom, you used to like Dingding, but now that you have Qiaowa, do you no longer love her? She is also a member of the Fang family. You watched her grow up. You know better than anyone the hardships she has endured."
Miao Yu was getting a headache from her nagging and said coldly, "Shut up. This isn't about whether I love her or not. I can't ruin the Fang family's century-old foundation for her sake. You, stay in the Cheng family from now on and don't come here again."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and happened to see Lu Siqiao standing at the door, having been listening for who knows how long.
Chen Luoxia's gaze was cold as she vented her resentment on Lu Siqiao: "Are you satisfied now? Your sister is about to die, and everyone in the world is protecting you, but no one has thought about Dingding's situation."
Lu Siqiao was speechless at her idiocy.
"Chen Luoxia, I'll reiterate once again, from beginning to end, it's you and Fang Dingding who have been harming me." She said coldly, "Instead of keeping an eye on me, why don't you go abroad to find a famous doctor and spend a lot of money to find a suitable match? That's better than harming your own daughter, isn't it?"
"You brat!" Chen Luoxia was furious at her, but with Miao Yu present, she could only glare helplessly.
Lu Siqiao added, "Medicine is advancing every day. As long as a person doesn't die, there's always a chance. Fang Dingding is so smart, how could she not understand?"
After saying that, she helped Miao Yu leave.
The grandmother and granddaughter arrived in the garden. Miao Yu sat down, feeling the joy of rebirth. She tightened her grip on Lu Siqiao's hand and asked with a questioning look, "Qiaowa, tell Grandma honestly, can your medicine save Fang Dingding's life?"
Her words seemed to have awakened Lu Siqiao.
She never even considered taking medicine from her spatial storage to save Fang Dingding.
"I don't know." She was also a little conflicted. If the medicine could save Fang Dingding, wouldn't it save her a lot of trouble?
However, she couldn't stand the ugly faces of Chen Luoxia and her daughter, and didn't want to save Fang Dingding.
Some people are not worth it.
Miao Yu understood, pulled her to sit down, and said softly, "Qiaowa, Grandma knows that Chen Luoxia and her daughter did something wrong, but if a problem can be explained with money, it's not a problem."
"Besides, Grandma won't let you help Dingding for nothing." A glint of human wisdom flashed in the old lady's eyes.
