"My mother-in-law is sick, and your sister-in-law has been taking the children back to her parents' home for several days."
When Jiang Chuxian was mentioned, a hint of tenderness appeared in Wang Hengzhi's eyes.
"My cousin must be envious of you, having a wife and children."
Xiao Qingran said this against her will, just to make Wang Hengzhi happy. After all, her own happiness was always built on the suffering of others.
Lu Jihan was now completely focused on his cultivation and didn't want to find a girlfriend. It was even less likely that he would envy Wang Hengzhi.
"Will Ah Heng envy me?"
Wang Hengzhi glanced suspiciously at Lu Jihan who was chatting with someone not far away.
He seemed to suddenly think of something and said to Xiao Qingran, "Do you know that your friend Huang Yawei is divorced? I heard about it from a friend in the entertainment industry who is also my doctor."
Xiao Qingran was shocked: "When did this happen?" Why hadn't she heard any news about it?
Huang Yawei and Jiang Mingwei's child is only one year younger than her child. The relationship between the two is obvious to all. How could they get divorced?
Moreover, she is in contact with Huang Yawei, but she has never heard Huang Yawei mention divorce?
"It happened before the New Year. I guess they kept it a secret for their careers. I'm not the gossipy type. I heard from friends in the industry that the relationship broke down because of a disagreement between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. If this gets out, it will probably cause a stir in the industry. After all, they still have a lot of CP fans."
Xiao Qingran frowned. A relationship of over a decade had come to an end. Given Huang Yawei's personality, if Jiang Mingwei's mother hadn't gone too far, they wouldn't have gotten to the point of divorce.
When they were first engaged, Xiao Qingran felt that the Jiang family looked down on Huang Yawei. Later, when they held the wedding banquet, with her as the witness, the Jiang family acted very kindly. When Huang Yawei gave birth to a son, her mother-in-law was so happy that Xiao Qingran thought her mother-in-law approved of Huang Yawei as her daughter-in-law. Now thinking about it, her mother-in-law should have approved of her grandson.
"It's better to get a divorce. She won't have to endure her mother-in-law's anger anymore. With her abilities, she might be able to reach a higher level in her career without a marriage."
As the two were talking, there was a sudden cry of surprise.
Then I heard a man, who was out of breath, shouting anxiously: "Dad, Dad, don't scare me!"
Xiao Qingran felt that the voice was somewhat familiar. She quickly looked over and saw that the head of the Chu family was holding onto Old Man Chu's arm and shaking it continuously.
At this time, Mr. Chu had already fainted.
Someone couldn't stand it anymore and warned the Chu family head that if he continued to wander, Mr. Chu's condition might worsen. The Chu family head was completely immersed in his own sorrow and could not hear anyone else's voice. Fortunately, someone called the emergency number and Mr. Chu was quickly sent to the hospital.
After the Chu family left, many people started talking.
"He can't die. How many times has the old man been critically ill? And he always survived, right?"
There was actually a hint of envy in Mr. Wang's eyes.
Mr. Lu was still a little worried: "Today is Xue'er's birthday. If something really happened to him, wouldn't it be bad luck? Really, why did he have to wait until today?"
Old Master Wang groaned, "Some people are critically ill every day, as if they will die at any moment, yet they can live a very long time. Meanwhile, some people never get sick and appear healthy, but once they fall, they never get up again. Think about it, think about it carefully."
Mr. Lu thought about it and realized it was indeed the case. Old Chu had been ill for over a decade, and the hospital had issued him numerous critical illness notices, yet he remained alive and well. And the old man from the Luo family in Dongcheng, who was about the same age as them, rarely got sick, exercised daily, and seemed healthy. But then, one day, he collapsed and never got up again.
Mr. Lu couldn't help but sigh: "Good people don't live long, but evil will last for thousands of years!"
Mr. Wang almost choked on his saliva because of Mr. Lu's reflections on life.
"Old Lu, aren't you getting yourself into trouble with what you said?"
Mr. Lu's face froze slightly.
Old Master Wang couldn't help but laugh: "I heard Qingzhi say that your Ah Heng doesn't plan to find a wife in the future? Is that true?"
Mr. Lu glared at Mr. Wang. What a shame!
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I'm just a grandfather. If he doesn't find a wife, it's his parents who should worry about him."
Old Master Wang was overjoyed: "Haha, Old Lu, Old Lu, you also have your frustrations..."
Mr. Wang was laughing when he suddenly covered his chest with his hands, his eyes rolled out, and he fell backwards.
Xiao Qingran and Wang Hengzhi were just opposite the two of them. When they saw this scene, they hurried over.
Xiao Qingran supported Mr. Wang. Wang Hengzhi was about to call the emergency number when Nian Nian suddenly rushed over and inserted a silver needle into Mr. Wang's acupuncture point. In just a few seconds, Mr. Wang opened his eyes and seemed fine.
Everyone watched in amazement, even Xiao Qingran was stunned. She had heard from her husband that Nian Nian had learned from a master who was very skilled in medicine while training on the Tianyan Continent. She had assumed her daughter had only learned the basics. After all, how deep could she possibly learn in such a short time?
Niannian's sudden display of this skill made even her mother look at her with admiration.
"Good girl, you are Ranran's daughter, right? You are truly a disciple who surpasses her father. Back then, your mother was reluctant to inherit my legacy. I wonder if you are willing to do so now?"
After Mr. Wang woke up, he heard Wang Hengzhi say that it was Luo Shinian who saved him. He excitedly held Nian Nian's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
Old Master Lu said with a look of disgust: "You old man, are you trying to pick a fight with my family? Ranran doesn't want to do it, so her daughter must be even less willing. Stop thinking about our Nian Nian!"
Many guests nearby were talking about Luo Shinian, and even the Xiao and Wei family heads, who didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Qingran, looked over.
"I never thought that Xiao Qingran's daughter would be so skilled in medicine at such a young age."
"Why didn't she help treat Mr. Chu when he got into trouble?"
"How did Mr. Chu treat her father back then? Did he ask his daughter to repay evil with kindness?"
"That's right. The Chu family didn't do anything about it back then. Some people shouldn't use moral blackmail. They don't even consider whose birthday party this is."
When the guests who were still talking heard this, they all agreed with it and looked at the person who was talking without any hesitation with contempt.
The old lady and Xiao Rongchen walked over, and the guests immediately fell silent, smiling and raising their glasses with them.
Although the Lu family had never publicly disclosed Xiao Rongchen's identity, ever since the ancient martial arts world and the secular world were connected, everyone who had visited the ancient martial arts world and returned knew Xiao Rongchen's identity. Who wouldn't know that Xiao Rongchen was the Palace Master of the Ancient Soul Palace? Who wouldn't envy and hate those who used to mock the old lady behind her back?
In the past, people laughed at the old lady’s son for being useless, but now Xiao Yi is the boss of the law enforcement team. If there are those who want to develop business in the ancient martial arts world, who would dare to look down on Xiao Yi?
