Facts proved that Liu Jing was not lying. Ling Shiyang and Xu Jiajia were indeed poisoned by snake venom. The toxins in Ling Shiyang's blood were very strong, while Xu Jiajia's were lighter. The reason why she was in so much pain was not because of the snake venom, but because the child she was carrying was also poisoned by snake venom. Moreover, the doctor said that such a child could not be born, and even if she was born, she would not survive, and might even be born with deformities or disabilities.
Old Ling suddenly seemed to have aged by ten years. Not long ago, he was as high-spirited as Old Huo. He even wanted to use the rest of his life to take the Ling family one step further. He was ready and could take action at any time. Of course, he could also guarantee that he would be 100% successful. By then, what he would leave for the Ling family would be a bright future and an enduring Ling family.
But who would have thought that he no longer had that courage, and their Ling family would collapse, and the sky of their Ling family would also collapse.
"Xu Jiajia, was it really you who saved my grandson?"
Old Ling asked in a low voice, his eyes fixed on Xu Jiajia's. He could tell at a glance whether Xu Jiajia was lying or not.
Xu Jiajia was stunned. Her body, which was already tortured by pain, broke out in cold sweat, and even her fingertips began to feel cold.
"I'm asking you a question. Did you save him?"
Old Ling closed his eyes. Even though Xu Jiajia didn't answer, he was certain that she was lying. She had deceived his grandson and their entire family.
There was no immediate and righteous rebuttal, nor was there any firm admission.
Because she felt guilty and scared, right?
"Is that you?"
He asked again harshly, and Xu Jiajia clutched the quilt tightly, her palms sweating.
With a bang, the outer door was slammed open.
Ling Shiyang came in pushing a wheelchair. In just a few days, he was already in so much pain that he felt worse than death. He looked even more haggard, older and thinner than Xu Jiajia.
Mr. Ling now has a head full of white hair, which is normal for his age.
But at such a young age, he started to have white hair. Even at his temples, even though he tried to cover it up, you could still see a tuft of white hair there.
It's a bit uncomfortable and also a bit ironic.
"Grandpa, what are you doing?"
When Ling Shiyang spoke, his voice was very low and he was a little out of breath. He had tried his best to hold on to some air, but his tattered body no longer had much strength left.
He had just endured a wave of pain, and that wave of pain made his hands and feet weak. He could only sit in a wheelchair, and even walking with his legs was impossible for him.
A living person, who should be at the age of high spirits, but now he is neither human nor ghost, and even half-dead and disgusting.
"What can I do?"
Old Ling couldn't help but yell at his grandson, and Ling Shiyang faced his grandfather helplessly.
I don't want to provoke him, but I'm also unwilling to give up.
Mr. Ling closed his eyes and took a long, deep breath.
"Xu Jiajia, I'll give you another chance. Were you the one who saved my grandson?"
"grandfather……"
Ling Shiyang was about to open his mouth, but Old Ling's eyes darkened.
"I didn't ask you, shut up!"
Ling Shiyang opened his mouth, but for some reason it closed again.
"Xu Jiajia, go ahead."
The sound was almost like thunder, which scared Xu Jiajia again.
"Grandpa, that was me. I was the one who saved Shi Yang. This is absolutely true."
"It's already this late, and you're still lying?"
Old Ling really wanted to strangle this woman to death. If his grandson hadn't been here, he would have already done it.
"Xu Jiajia, my grandson was bitten by a snake," he said, narrowing his eyes in contempt. "What kind of snake was that and how did you cure the venom?"
Xu Jiajia was stunned by the question. How did she know what kind of snake it was? That was the thing she feared most in her life. If there was a snake, she would have run away long ago. Why would she care who Ling Shiyang was?
"Speak!"
Mr. Ling's voice was very soft, but his tone was full of sarcasm.
"The snake bite was very minor. Although Shi Yang was poisoned, he had already recovered by then."
Xu Jiajia stuttered as she spoke, her hands repeatedly clutching the quilt around her.
"Tell me yourself, was the snake bite light?"
Old Ling turned around and asked his grandson, he knew his own body well, could he be an idiot, how could he not know whether a snake bite was serious or not?
Ling Shiyang raised his hand and placed it on the arm that had been bitten. "It shouldn't be serious."
"Not heavy?"
Elder Ling sneered, "If it wasn't serious, why were you unconscious? If it wasn't serious, why are there scars on your arms? Could it be that even now, you still don't think it was a rat snake that bit you?"
Ling Shiyang couldn't guarantee it. He knew very well that the one that bit him was not a rat snake. It was an extremely poisonous snake. Although it was very small, it was brightly colored and extremely poisonous.
The brighter the color, the more toxic it is.
"Did you save my grandson?"
Elder Ling questioned Xu Jiajia again in a cold voice, "Don't you want to know why you are in so much pain, or why the pain is worse than death?"
Xu Jiajia's eyes, which were originally dim, suddenly brightened a little.
"Grandpa, what disease do we have? How can we cure it?"
"What method?"
Old Ling really felt that he was too stupid, and Ling Shiyang was even more stupid. Their entire family had been toyed with by a woman named Xu for several years.
"There's poison in your blood. Snake venom, do you understand? Snake venom. The venom that's been in my grandson's body for decades has accumulated over time and will eventually erupt. If he dies, you won't survive either."
"grandfather……"
Ling Shiyang called out "Old Ling". Even now he still didn't understand why Old Ling said all this.
"Don't you understand yet?" Old Ling really wanted to smash his grandson's head with a brick. He wanted to know what his head was made of and how he could be so stupid.
"She wasn't the one who saved you. She just took advantage of the situation. The snake venom you were infected with was supposed to be cured twice, but she took the credit for someone else's work and became your savior."
"But she didn't save your life, she hurt you."
"Ling Shiyang, how could you be so stupid? Why didn't you check it out? Why didn't you think about it more? She said she was your savior, and she is. I have reminded you many times that Xu Jiajia is not a good person. She is too selfish. Even if such a selfish person really saved you, she must have ulterior motives."
"Now, she wants your life!"
