Chapter 155: Unable to Dispute
Pretending to be uninterested, Mo Zhu suddenly bumped into Mo Jiu as she walked past him. She said as she walked towards the chair, “How boring, it’s useless even if you come. Even playing a game is more interesting than this.”
After saying this, Mo Zhu ignored the others in the hall. She found a chair and sat down, taking out her phone and playing with it.
After Mo Zhu passed by Mo Jiu, Mo Jiu retracted his hand that was hanging by his side and looked up at Huo Xuan with deep meaning in his eyes. “Master Huo, although I’m not 100% sure that I can save Old Master Huo, I’m willing to give it a try.”
After a pause, Mo Jiu continued, “I happen to have brought along the remaining pills that I have used to cure your poison the last time. Let’s help the old man to the bed in the room and lie down. I’ll give the old man acupuncture treatment and see if I can think of a way to stabilize his condition.”
Upon hearing Mo Jiu mention the pill, in addition to the fact that Mo Zhu had bumped into Mo Jiu for no reason, Huo Xuan immediately understood what had happened. His eyes darkened as he replied softly, “Alright, then let’s carry grandfather back to the room.”
After saying this, Huo Xuan called for the Huo family’s servants to carry the old man back to his room. Before entering the house, he instructed Mo Zhu worriedly, “Wait here for me to come out. Don’t run around. The Huo family is not safe.”
Mo Zhu was playing with her phone casually with her head lowered. When she heard Huo Xuan’s words, she understood that he was worried about her. She looked up and met the man’s gaze, nodding lightly. “Alright, I understand. I won’t go anywhere. I’ll wait for you here.”
Not long after Huo Xuan and Mo Jiu entered the room, the people waiting in the main hall couldn’t help but start chattering again. Mo Zhu didn’t want to listen to the noisy discussion of the crowd and directly raised the volume of her phone to the maximum, blasting the sound effects of the game.
Seeing this, the few aunts of the Huo family grew an even stronger dislike of Mo Zhu. Huo Lian was already an impatient person to begin with, and after being provoked by Huo Xuan just now, she could no longer hold it in. She immediately rushed forward and cursed Mo Zhu angrily, “The old master is still critically ill, and you actually have the mood to play games on your phone here? How disgraceful!”
She still was not done venting her anger after saying this. She suddenly stood up and slammed the table with all her might. “A country bumpkin really has no manners at all. Not only did she not care about the old man’s health after what happened, she even turned up her phone’s volume so loudly. She’s really driving me to my grave!”
Upon hearing Huo Lian’s words, the word “victory” appeared on the phone screen in front of Mo Zhu. She took a glance at Huo Lian as she started the next round and replied calmly, “Yo, am I considered uneducated with terrible upbringing because I’m playing games here? Then why are you standing at the side and watching the show when Old Master Huo has fainted?”
“You!” Huo Lian was so angered by Mo Zhu she was almost breathless, and her chest heaved up and down violently. She quickly picked up the tea on the table and took a sip to catch her breath.
Old Master Huo’s situation was still unclear. Huo Qing thought about the pros and cons and quickly came forward to help Huo Lian up. “Sixth Sister, don’t be so calculative with a junior. Mo Zhu had led a poor life in the past. It’s fine if she doesn’t know the rules, but you can’t lose the manners as an elder in the Huo family. Don’t be angry with the younger generation.”
Huo Lian glared at Mo Zhu. Since her older sister had spoken, she naturally had to give her some face. She waved her hand and said, “I naturally won’t stoop to the level of a country bumpkin. I’m just too worried about the old master’s condition and my thoughts are a little messy right now.”
Seeing her in this state, this scene made Mo Zhu smile without batting an eyelid. These people were really like clowns. They were performing in their own show, it was extremely ridiculous.
Retracting her gaze, Mo Zhu continued playing with her phone. She had promised Huo Xuan that she would wait in the hall. As long as these nosy aunts of his didn’t provoke her, she naturally wouldn’t bother with them.
