Ding Ruoxu was also extremely dissatisfied. "Isn't it all that old bastard Xie Buyun's fault? By the way, you're not really going to go and detoxify him, are you?"
"Otherwise what?" Xie Ziyuan asked, and Xie Zian realized that his heart had jumped the moment Ding Ruoxu asked that question.
Before this, he firmly believed that Xie Ziyuan would unconditionally save Old Master Xie.
Before he could even relax, Xie Ziyuan's voice continued, "...You don't want the real version anymore?"
She spoke almost in a breathy voice for the first few words, so Xie Zian couldn't make out what she was saying, but those few words were enough.
His knuckles turned white from being squeezed so hard, and the unruly boy felt as if the world before him was collapsing bit by bit.
As if the collapse wasn't thorough enough, Ding Ruoxu paused, lowered his voice, and his eyes revealed a hint of malice: "Is it possible to tamper with the detoxification process?"
"After all, no one can cure the poison that the old man was poisoned with. Even if you cured him, it's perfectly normal for him to suffer from some kind of aftereffect, like paralysis or a stroke!"
Xie Ziyuan didn't say anything, but turned her head and stood up: "I'm going back. You should smoke less too."
In that instant, without knowing what he was thinking, Xie Zian subconsciously hid himself behind the bushes.
After Xie Ziyuan and Ding Ruoxu left one after the other, he slowly realized that from this moment on, he could no longer trust Xie Ziyuan as wholeheartedly as before.
What he thought was a loving and supportive relationship between siblings turned out to be nothing but a joke.
He understands Xie Ziyuan, just as Xie Ziyuan understands him.
Xie Ziyuan's lack of a firm rebuke and rebuttal to Ding Ruoxu just now represents her attitude.
She might be tempted by that offer.
Xie Zian felt a chill in his heart.

The old lady deliberately left a little late.
The previous defamation incident caused her to suffer an undeserved imprisonment. Although she was only administratively detained for about ten days before her family got her out, she still felt ashamed.
After staying home for a few days to avoid the limelight, she was looking forward to attending Xie Ziyuan's birthday party, hoping to be in high spirits and show everyone that she wouldn't be defeated.
Therefore, she specially prepared a generous gift for Xie Ziyuan: an ancient painting that has been speculated to fetch nearly ten million yuan on the market.
This was also her best treasure. Although it hurt her wallet, she felt it was worth giving the painting to support Xie Ziyuan and slap Xie Li in the face.
Because he hadn't helped her plead with Grandpa Xie last time, Grandpa Gu had been trying to please Grandma Gu these past few days.
But Mrs. Gu kept giving him the cold shoulder and was determined not to pay any attention to him.
Seeing that Mrs. Gu and her son and daughter-in-law were all preparing to attend Xie Ziyuan's birthday banquet, he thought for a moment and then prepared a gift to attend Xie Li's family reunion banquet.
After all, he had been brothers with Old Master Xie for so many years, and Xie Buyun had personally sent out the invitation, so he still wanted to give Xie Buyun some face.
Before he could even leave the house, he was blocked in the courtyard by the old lady.
"If you dare go there today, we're getting a divorce!" Mrs. Gu sneered. "You'd better leave with nothing and get out!"
The old man hesitated for a moment, then explained in a low voice, "I'll just deliver a gift, make a brief appearance, and leave. I won't stay any longer. Besides, what happened last time was truly something our family did wrong to that young lady..."
Whether it was Wenling or Mrs. Gu, they were the ones who started the whole thing, and now they're not even allowing the young girl to fight back?
