Jiang City Hospital.
Inside a hospital room, the air was filled with sorrowful sobs.
Old Madam Lin lay on the hospital bed, tears in her eyes, crying out to the old man lying there: “Old Master, Old Master, you can’t leave me!”
Beside the old woman, Lin Wanrong’s mother, Liu Li, comforted her: “Grandma, don’t worry. Grandpa will be fine. I’ve already notified Wanrong. She said that there is a miracle doctor by Eldest Miss Su’s side who can definitely treat Old Master.”
Upon hearing this,
Old Madam Lin’s expression brightened. She looked at Liu Li, grabbing her hand, and asked, “Really?! Eldest Miss Su is willing to help us?”
The friends and relatives around also showed relieved expressions upon hearing this.
“Good, good, good! With Eldest Miss Su’s help, our Old Master Lin can finally be saved!”
“That’s right! Eldest Miss Su’s assistance not only means Old Master Lin can be successfully treated, but our Lin Family can also climb up the Su Family’s high branch through Wanrong!”
“Exactly! Wanrong is truly smart and capable, unlike some waste who can’t accomplish anything but can ruin everything!”
“Right, after Old Master Lin recovers, why not let Wanrong divorce Xiao Tian! I remember that Young Master Wang of the Wang family is Wanrong’s childhood sweetheart. He’s had feelings for her since they were young.”
“Yes, yes…”
The atmosphere gradually relaxed.
However.
A weak voice slowly sounded.
It instantly shattered the relaxed atmosphere.
“All… shut up.”
Everyone was startled and quickly looked toward the hospital bed.
They saw
Old Master Lin, as if in a final rally, used all his strength to murmur: “No one can save me… only Xiao Tian… can save me…”
In his youth, he had received help from the Old Dragon King, so he always remembered that favor.
Many years ago, the Old Dragon King came to him and said that the next Dragon King, Xiao Tian, would suffer a calamity in a few years.
At that time, his cultivation would be damaged, and he would need the Lin Family’s protection for six years.
Thus, Old Master Lin agreed without hesitation and had his granddaughter marry Xiao Tian.
He also had his own selfish motives.
Because he knew that Xiao Tian was the Dragon King!
So by letting his granddaughter marry him, the Lin Family would thrive from then on!
However.
“Bullshit! Old man, have you lost your mind?!”
“That Xiao Tian is just a waste of a live-in son-in-law! How can he possibly save you!”
“You’re in this state, and you still believe that nonsense about Xiao Tian being the Dragon King?!”
“It’s not like I don’t know that he secretly came to the hospital to treat you, but what was the result?!”
“Hasn’t your condition gotten even worse?!”
Old Madam Lin screamed in shock. She couldn’t understand why her beloved had become so foolish!
Old Master Lin fell silent after hearing this.
What his wife said was actually correct.
Xiao Tian had secretly come to the hospital to treat him a few times.
But there had been no improvement; in fact, his condition had become more severe.
But Old Master Lin understood that Xiao Tian was the Dragon King. If he treated him this way, he must have had his reasons.
But… but…
Things had developed to this point. Even he was beginning to lose confidence.
At that moment,
Click~!
The door was pushed open.
Several figures walked in.
Leading them was Xiao Tian, full of confidence.
He saw Old Master Lin lying on the bed at a glance. Seeing his weak breath, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction.
Not bad.
He had previously performed needling on Old Master Lin in secret, but those were all preparatory steps for this final treatment.
Old Master Lin’s severe illness was purely caused by a qi reversal from a deadly fight in his early years. It could be said that his survival this long was already a miracle among miracles.
And his previous needles had locked the acupoints, forcing the reversed qi from all over into one concentrated area, all to expel it in one go with this final needle.
Looking at it now, it was exactly as he had imagined.
But just as he thought this,
Slap!
“Xiao Tian! What are you smiling about?!”
“Are you happy that my grandfather has become like this?!”
Lin Wanrong stepped forward and slapped him across the face. Her face was full of disappointment.
Unbelievable, simply unbelievable. Her grandfather had become like this, and yet Xiao Tian still had such an attitude!
Xiao Tian covered his face. After coming to his senses, he smiled confidently: “Wanrong, you don’t understand. I’m smiling because Old Master Lin will be discharged from the hospital today!”
“You!! Xiao Tian, you are truly arrogant!”
Lin Wanrong was so angry she had no words left.
Liu Li also stepped forward.
Slap!
She raised her hand and gave him a fierce slap.
Then she cursed angrily: “Xiao Tian! My mother said you secretly treated Old Master before?!”
“Did you deliberately cause my father to end up like this?!”
At these words,
Lin Wanrong looked at Xiao Tian even more incredulously: “Xiao Tian! My Lin Family has treated you well, yet you have such malicious intentions!!”
At this moment,
Qin Luo shook his head. He stepped forward, first gave Xiao Tian a contemptuous look, then sneered: “Heh, Eldest Miss Lin, isn’t the answer obvious at a glance?”
“Xiao Tian’s move is to kill Old Master Lin and seize the Lin Family’s assets.”
“With such ambition, I advise you, Miss Lin, to divorce Xiao Tian as soon as possible.”
As Qin Luo spoke, the Lin Family members echoed: “He’s right!”
“Xiao Tian has wolfish ambition!”
“This beast! Our Lin Family has treated him well. If Old Master Lin hadn’t brought him back back then, he would have starved to death on the streets!”
Each sarcastic remark pierced Xiao Tian’s heart.
He clenched his fists tightly and took a deep breath.
It’s fine.
After today, everyone will know that I, Xiao Tian, am not a waste after all!
So.
Xiao Tian’s confidence swelled again. He glanced at Qin Luo and said calmly: “This is a Lin Family matter. Outsiders need not meddle.”
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Wanrong, whose face was pale with anger, and said: “Only I can treat Old Master. Wanrong, you’ll soon know why I treated him in secret these past few times.”
Lin Wanrong gritted her teeth tightly. How could she let Xiao Tian perform medicine on her grandfather again? So she screamed: “Shut up, you waste!”
“You’ve caused my grandfather to end up like this. Do you think I’d dare to let you act?!”
With that, she nervously looked at Su Muwan and said respectfully: “Eldest Miss Su… please…”
“Please let the miracle doctor, Master Qin, take action!”
Su Muwan’s expression remained unchanged.
But inwardly, she was already unable to hold on.
A miracle doctor?
Master Qin?
She looked at Qin Luo with a gentle smile: “Qin… Qin Luo, what do you think?”
You’d better think clearly before speaking!
This young lady has already given you an out!
Qin Luo, seeing Su Muwan’s calm yet meaningful smile, suddenly understood.
So that’s it.
As expected of the original work’s great villainess, Su Muwan not only didn’t suspect his medical skills, but even believed in him and wanted him to trick Xiao Tian again.
So that’s it!
I understand!
With this thought, Qin Luo gave Su Muwan a reassuring look.
Su Muwan’s heart trembled: Wait?
Then Qin Luo looked at Lin Wanrong, shook his head with a light laugh: “Eldest Miss Lin, since your waste of a live-in son-in-law husband says that only he can save Old Master Lin,”
“then let him try. Let’s see his true colors.”
“If he fails, then I will certainly take action.”
Upon hearing this,
Lin Wanrong felt relieved. She nodded respectfully: “Very well, Master Qin.”
With that, she yelled angrily at Xiao Tian: “You waste! Are you satisfied now? Get over there and treat my grandfather!”
Xiao Tian clenched his fists and looked angrily at Qin Luo.
This bastard, actually sowing discord like this.
Hmph, since that’s the case, I’ll just cure Old Master Lin directly.
To prove my true strength!
