Although Qin Sheng's combat prowess meant she didn't need bodyguards, Fu Jingheng specifically instructed him before the trip to stay close to her and immediately deal with any troublemakers she encountered, so that Qin Sheng could take the exam without any worries.
Therefore, although Mo Huang was very angry, he quickly parked the car and chased after Qin Sheng.
A young man was waiting at the door.
Chi Chongchong's eyes were filled with anxiety. She would glance into the doorway from time to time, then turn her head back to look outside, occasionally glancing at her watch.
Although he knew it wouldn't be quick to get over from the other person's location, he couldn't help but glance at them again and again.
Just then, a girl wearing a short pink cotton jacket and skinny jeans walked towards them from afar. She had a slender and upright figure and a delicate and beautiful face.
Even though they were still some distance apart, Chi Chongchong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
But it only lasted a few seconds before he looked away and continued to look around.
Unexpectedly, the girl walked towards him and finally stopped in front of him, her delicate features slightly raised: "Chi Chongchong?"
Chi Chongchong was stunned for several seconds before he asked uncertainly, "You are... Miss Qin?"
Qin Sheng nodded his chin: "Let's go."
Chi Chongchong: "...Okay."
Then, bewildered, he turned around and led the way.
It wasn't until they had walked quite a distance that he belatedly came to his senses, and couldn't help but steal glances at Qin Sheng. In the end, he couldn't help but ask, "You and Master Hua... are you master and disciple?"
Master and disciple?
Qin Sheng frowned slightly and hesitated before saying, "I guess so."
After all, she had already taught Hua Zhen her unique Seventeen Acupoint Needles technique, so they could be considered master and disciple, albeit barely.
Chi Chongchong breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was somewhat disappointed that Hua Zhen hadn't found a medical giant, he still thought that since this young girl was accepted as a disciple by Hua the Doctor and was specially invited to assist him in treating his grandfather, her skills must be quite good.
Having one more doctor means having one more glimmer of hope, doesn't it?
Chi Chongchong could only console herself in her heart.
The Chi family is the second-tier family in Tiandu, second only to the four major families. They are among the top families in the second tier with a deep foundation, so the area occupied by the Chi family's old mansion is quite large.
After walking for about ten minutes, a brightly lit mansion came into view, and the sounds of crying, exclamations, and angry curses could be faintly heard.
Chi Chongchong frowned and immediately quickened her pace.
Qin Sheng's fingertips twitched slightly, but she still followed steadily.
Five minutes later, the three of them entered the main courtyard where the old master of the Chi family lived, one after the other, and the already noisy noise became even louder.
As soon as Qin Sheng stepped across the threshold, she heard a crisp slap, followed by a woman's sharp scolding: "Don't you think the house is chaotic enough? It's one thing to come back on your own, but to bring unrelated people back with you? Do you have to make a scene so that the whole world knows that the second young lady of the Chi family is chasing after the Song family's unambitious little ancestor every day, bringing shame to the Chi family? Are you happy then?"
"Your grandfather was so good to you, he loved you so much, and now he's almost gone, and you come back to see him with Song Yanzhi and Chi Sangsang. I'm asking you, what exactly are you trying to do?!"
Chi Sangsang had a pair of round, doe-like eyes, the whites of which were bloodshot. She didn't react much when she was slapped, just staring blankly at the old man on the bed who was barely breathing.
Then they saw the old man, whose eyes had been tightly closed, tremble, as if he was struggling, but he actually opened his eyes.
The voice was so low it was almost inaudible.
But Chi Sangsang saw it and called out "Sangsang".
Chi Sangsang's heart trembled violently. Without even glancing at the woman glaring at her, she rushed to the bedside and reached out to grasp the old woman's rough hand.
"Grandpa..." she whispered, her voice hoarse.
Ye Yuzhen's expression changed. She pushed Chi Yuanyuan next to her toward the bed while reaching out to pull Chi Sangsang over. But her hand was blocked by Song Yanzhi from the side.
Song Yanzhi's expression turned cold: "Aunt Ye, what are you doing?"
Ye Yuzhen's eyes flickered, a little guilty, but she still straightened her back and said, "Chi Sangsang has been staying in the old man's seat ever since she came back at dawn. Now it's Yuanyuan's turn!"
Song Yanzhi sneered: "Don't get me wrong. It's not that Chi Sangsang is refusing to leave, but that Grandpa Chi woke up three times and called out Sangsang's name each time. The old man wants Sangsang to stay with him!"
Ye Yuzhen: "The old man is delirious from illness!"
Before Song Yanzhi could say anything more, Ye Yuzhen glared at her fiercely: "Whether the old man wants Chi Sangsang to accompany him or she refuses to leave, that is a family matter of the Chi family. What business is it of yours, a woman surnamed Song?"
It would have been better if she hadn't brought it up; the moment she did, the anger in Song Yanzhi's eyes intensified.
"The Song family and the Chi family are separated by only a wall. I grew up under Grandpa Chi's nose since I was a child. Is it wrong for me to come and see Grandpa Chi when he is sick? Why does Aunt Ye have to think of such dirty things?"
“Furthermore,” Song Yanzhi pointed to one of the two doctors on the other side of the bed, “if you insist there’s a problem, then I’ll accompany my grandfather on his house call, okay?”
Yip Ng Yuk-ching was furious.
In the end, it was Chi Yuanyuan who shook her head at her, and only then did she suppress her anger.
But she still glared fiercely at Chi Sangsang, who was holding Old Master Chi's hand.
This is what Qin Sheng and the other two saw when they came in.
Chi Chongchong and Qin Sheng frowned simultaneously. Chi Chongchong went in first and said unhappily, "It's already this late, Mom, why are you still worrying about these trivial things? Can't you let Grandpa rest in peace for a while?"
Ye Yuzhen never expected her son to see this, and she never expected that Chi Chongchong would criticize her in front of so many people right away.
I felt both ashamed and angry.
But she didn't dare to be as bossy towards Chi Chongchong as she was towards Chi Sangsang, so she quickly softened her tone, muttered a few words in a low voice, and that was it.
"Who am I playing the villain for? Isn't it all for you two siblings?"
"Everyone knows that the old man favors that girl Chi Sangsang. The reason he called her back in such a hurry is probably because he wants to leave everything under his name to her. In the end, you siblings will probably not get a penny; it will all be Chi Sangsang's!"
Ye Yuzhen's voice was very soft, almost a whisper, but Qin Sheng had good hearing and heard it.
When Chi Sangsang talked about it, she mentioned that the three siblings, her brother Chi Chongchong and her sister Chi Yuanyuan, all grew up with their parents.
When it was her turn, her father took over as head of the Chi family, and her mother was busy with social engagements and taking care of Chi Yuanyuan, so she couldn't spare the energy to take care of the newborn Chi Sangsang.
So Chi Sangsang was taken away by the old man of the Chi family.
She grew up under the care of Grandpa Chi and had a close relationship with him.
She also mentioned that her parents favored her older brother and sister.
Favoritism is quite normal, but it's rare to see someone show favoritism to the extent that Ye Yuzhen, even though they are both one's own children.
Qin Sheng couldn't help but glance at Ye Yuzhen, finding it quite unbelievable.
