☆, Chapter Forty Reminder
Song Yuqing readily agreed on the surface, but her mother noticed the sinister look between her brows.
Mrs. Song sighed softly and asked, "What? Do you hold that grudge against that woman so much?"
"Ha." Song Yuqing sneered, "She made me lose face in front of everyone. She knew everything but pretended to be ignorant, making me look like a clown. How could I let her get away with this?!"
As he spoke, his fierce expression remained, and he said, word by word, "Even grinding my bones to dust wouldn't be enough to vent my hatred!"
Seeing her mother's extreme attitude, Song's mother couldn't help but frown.
She had never experienced setbacks and had always had a smooth life with his help, to the point that now even the slightest embarrassment could make her feel extremely resentful.
This is not a good thing...
Seeing her mother looking at her thoughtfully, Song Yuqing's face showed a hint of doubt, and she asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Song's mother snapped out of her reverie, shook her head, and a look of seriousness flashed across her face: "Do you really hate her that much?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of hostility flashed across Song Yuqing's face, and she replied, "Yes, I hate her to death. I went so far as to use the man I liked to get close to her, but she treated me like this!"
Then, looking at her mother with a serious expression, she said with a hint of pleading, "So now I can only rely on you. You must help me."
Song's mother's expression changed slightly, then she closed her eyes, as if she had made up her mind, and then said in a deep voice.
"Very well, but I alone cannot deal with the person behind them."
"Moreover, those twins are protected by dragons and tigers. Targeting them earlier was a last resort. If there is a next time, I won't be able to do anything about them."
"But you almost succeeded, didn't you?" Song Yuqing was puzzled. How could two mere children make her mother so wary?
Mother Song slowly shook her head, her expression somewhat unpleasant: "That's because I devised a plan to take his personal belongings. If it weren't for that pendant that allowed me to succeed, with the Azure Dragon and White Tiger protecting them, I wouldn't have been able to harm them in the slightest."
Even though she felt resentful, she had to admit that her efforts after birth were insignificant in the face of her innate destiny.
Hearing her mother say this, Song Yuqing realized how troublesome the situation was.
"So what do we do now? Are we left with only Ziyi? What if..."
Song Yuqing hesitated slightly halfway through her sentence, then continued, "What if this trick doesn't work either?"
"Then go find someone else; perhaps he can help you," Song's mother said softly, closing her eyes.
"Who?" Song Yuqing asked, looking puzzled.
"Master of metaphysics Yang Shuli".
"Where should I look for him?" Song Yuqing had barely finished speaking when her mother suddenly started coughing violently.
His complexion, which had just begun to improve, turned pale again. He only had time to offer a few pointers before he fainted.
Seeing this, Song Yuqing frowned. Although she didn't understand metaphysics, she knew that this was the result of the backlash from earlier.
Current medical technology is completely incapable of treating this condition; the only way to heal is through the spiritual energy within the body.
So he sat quietly to the side, pondering the name he had just learned.
Yang Shuli?
What kind of powerful figure could make my mother mention him?
On the other side, after pulling out the needle, Jiang Ran took out a talisman, then made a hand gesture, and the talisman instantly burst into flames, burning the pendant doll in her hand to ashes in a moment.
After dealing with everything, she looked at the ashes on the ground, couldn't help but scoff, and left the scene, then went to the hospital.
Although I knew Si Youlin was alright, I still felt more at ease going to check on him.
"Why are you here?" When Jiang Ran entered the ward, Si Zuochen frowned, his face full of resistance.
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in return, "He's my child after all. What's wrong with me coming to visit him?"
"Your child?" Si Zuochen scoffed coldly, his face full of disdain.
Jiang Ran seemed not to hear anything. She saw Si Youlin lying on the hospital bed, still unconscious, while Si Zuochen was clearly worried and anxious beside her.
She couldn't help but reassure him, "Don't worry too much, he's fine and will wake up in a little while."
Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen raised his eyes and glanced at her sideways: "The doctors only said that for now, we can only reduce the fever and then deal with it."
"You know he'll wake up soon? Do you know more than the doctor?"
Hearing Si Zuochen's sarcasm, Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow: "If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
After saying that, she ignored Si Zuochen's rejection and sat down directly next to the hospital bed.
Seeing that she seemed determined to stay, Si Zuochen looked somewhat displeased.
He took two steps forward and said without any mercy, "You should leave now, we don't need you here."
Jiang Ran just kept playing on her phone and ignored what he said.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Si Zuochen couldn't help but frown and coldly scolded, "You scoundrel!"
Seeing his exasperated look, Jiang Ran turned her head slightly and couldn't help but smile when he couldn't see her.
He's always been aloof and indifferent; she just wanted to see him helpless.
Why does someone so young always act like they're mature beyond their years?
As she expected, Si Youlin slowly woke up in bed in less than twenty minutes. Upon seeing this, Si Zuochen quickly went over to him: "Ah Lin!"
Si Youlin forced a stiff smile and reassured him, "Brother, I'm fine."
Jiang Ran watched them, their brotherly affection evident, and couldn't help but smile and chuckle.
Si Youlin then noticed that Jiang Ran was also there, and frowned slightly, looking puzzled.
Jiang Ran reached out to touch his forehead to see if it was still hot, but as soon as she raised her hand, she felt a cold gaze from beside her.
He paused for a moment, then casually lowered his hand.
With someone like Si Zuochen, a "brother-protecting maniac," present, she'd better not get involved in such trouble.
To avoid being suspected of having ulterior motives.
Noticing a hint of resistance in their eyes, Jiang Ran sighed softly, then looked at Si Youlin and asked.
"Are you feeling unwell in any other way?"
Si Youlin was taken aback at first, then he remembered what he had seen earlier and realized the true nature of this woman.
His expression instantly turned cold, as if he were keeping everyone at arm's length.
"It's none of your business."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow. Was he gradually becoming assimilated by Si Zuochen?
These two brats are really hostile towards me.
Si Zuochen watched her coldly from the side and asked, "You're not welcome here. Do you have anything else to say?"
Hearing his order to leave, Jiang Ran chuckled softly, then looked at Si Youlin and said in a deep voice, "Don't give your things to others casually in the future. Often, bad people take advantage of your compassion." If it weren't for his Azure Dragon destiny protecting him, a normal person would have been in trouble while unconscious. Why would he need a sudden change in weather and thunder and lightning as cover?
