Lu Hui glanced at Madam Yue and said with a smile, “Jingxiu, I heard that you have a new daughter? Congratulations, you’re even related to the Fu family. How nice.”
“Not as nice as Sister-in-law.”
“Why didn’t you bring Shi Jin over? I had some things to ask her today.”
“Shi Jin has always been very busy. If Sister-in-law has anything to say, you can just ask me directly. Why did you ask Shi Jin to come over?”
Lu Hui smiled and handed the nail clipper to the servant. “After all, Shi Jin is of the Yue family’s bloodline. I asked her to come back now, not only to ask some questions, but also to let her come over and recognize the family. Otherwise, it won’t make sense if we meet in the future.”
Madam Yue glanced at her husband and knew that Lu Hui was definitely scheming something.
Yue Feng patted the back of her hand reassuringly.
Yue Ling stopped them. “Alright, we’ll talk when Mom comes down. She’s the one who wants to ask questions. Don’t worry unnecessarily.”
“Uncle, what is it? Where’s Grandma? I’ll escort her down!” Yue Lanchen couldn’t hold it in anymore.
As they spoke, Yue Yu, Charles, and Yue Xiu had already wheeled Old Madam Yue downstairs.
She looked even worse than she had a while ago, slumped in her wheelchair.
“Grandma, my parents and Lanchen are here,” Yue Yu said softly.
Old Madam Yue opened her tired eyes and said, “Where’s Shi Jin?”
“If you have something to ask, ask me. Why do you always mention Shi Jin?” Madam Yue sounded indignant. “I hope you won’t call Shi Jin at any time in the future and disturb her quiet life. She won’t have any sense of belonging to this family either. You don’t have to use her as a tool to show your fake familial relationships.”
“Mom, calm down first. Grandma really has something to discuss with Shi Jin,” Yue Yu advised. “Besides, we can only get an answer from Shi Jin.”
“Then you’d better have something,” Yue Lanchen said. “Otherwise, I won’t reconcile with you.”
Lu Hui chuckled. “Jingxiu, oh, Jingxiu, look at you. Each of your children has a worse temper than the other. On the other hand, Xiao Yu is so obedient. Seriously, look at you. How did someone with a sweet personality like you raise such a temperamental daughter?”
“None of your business!” Yue Feng retorted coldly.
Yue Ling glanced at Lu Hui with a piercing gaze, and Lu Hui stopped talking.
The butler came in and said, “Old Madam, Sir, Madam, Shi Jin and Master Fu have arrived.”
“Send them in,” Yue Ling said.
With Yue Ling here, no one said anything else.
Fu Xiuyuan and Shi Jin quickly walked in. Their expressions were calm and inexplicably tacit. They looked completely compatible.
When she arrived in front of everyone, Shi Jin only greeted Yue Feng and his family before asking calmly, “Old Madam, why are you looking for me? If it’s not something important, I’ll leave first. Also, don’t call me again in the future. I don’t like to play such boring tricks.”
Old Madam Yue panted as Yue Yu answered on her behalf, “Shi Jin, Grandma’s physical examination revealed a lot of problems. When she was in the doctor’s office, her internal organs, heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys were all failing. Her function has decreased and she can’t be treated.”
“Oh, really? Well, I can’t help you.”
“Shi Jin, Grandma isn’t looking for you to treat her illness. It’s you who caused her current situation!” Yue Yu said angrily. “You’re the culprit, but you don’t feel any guilt or care at all!”
Hearing these words, everyone looked at Yue Yu.
Madam Yue immediately asked, “Yue Yu, what do you mean? Don’t slander Shi Jin.”
“I didn’t slander her, Mom. The doctor already said that Grandma’s health problems were caused by some kind of medicine. The medicine the doctor prescribed in the past was fine. The only other medicine Grandma used was the medicine Shi Jin gave her. The medicine that caused the problems in her body appeared in the medicine Shi Jin gave her!”
“Impossible!” Madam Yue shook her head. “Shi Jin would never do such a thing.”
Yue Feng and Yue Lanchen also deeply felt that it was impossible.
Yue Yu said in a low voice, “I don’t think it’s possible either, and I don’t want Shi Jin to cause such a problem, but that’s the truth. I’m just explaining the truth for Grandma. I really don’t want Shi Jin to be such a person.”
Lu Hui stood at the side and said, “Isn’t Dr. Song here? Just ask him.”
Dr. Song, who was standing at the side, said awkwardly, “We really don’t believe that Dr. Shi would do such a thing. But those pathogenic drugs were indeed found in the essential oil you gave. It’s really a pity… I shouldn’t have recommended this drug to Old Madam.”
Old Madam Yue stared at Shi Jin fiercely, as if she wanted to skin her alive.
Dr. Song originally had a good impression of Shi Jin, but now that the truth was right in front of him, he could not convince himself.
Lu Hui said, “See, things are already very clear. What about Shi Jin? She’s indeed very pitiful. Her background is unknown, and she has been alone outside for so many years. She does have some resentment towards the Old Madam. But Shi Jin, resentment doesn’t mean that you have to use such extreme methods to do things, right?”
“Shi Jin wouldn’t!” Madam Yue stood in front of Shi Jin. “Since you think there is, let’s call the police! To clear Shi Jin’s name.”
“Mom, Grandma didn’t call the police because she didn’t want the Yue family to lose face or Shi Jin to be criticized by the outside world. After all, she’s still a public figure,” Yue Yu said softly. “Let’s not make things worse.”
“This concerns Shi Jin’s reputation. If she didn’t do it, why can’t we investigate it publicly?” Madam Yue was adamant. “I trust her. I’m not afraid of her being investigated.”
She turned to Shi Jin and asked softly, “What do you think, Shi Jin?”
Shi Jin looked at her seriously and said, “You’re right. I didn’t do it, so I’m not afraid of being investigated.”
Their attitude made Yue Yu feel a flash of anxiety.
Old Madam Yue sat in her wheelchair and said weakly, “Since, since that’s the case, then, then…”
Lu Hui shook her head. “Alright, then call the police. Butler, don’t let the matter blow up. Protect the Yue family’s reputation.”
After saying that, she said to Dr. Song, “Dr. Song, prepare the evidence and hand it to the police.”
Yue Yu glanced at Dr. Song uncomfortably.
Shi Jin said calmly, “I happen to have a copy of the so-called evidence here. Old Madam Yue’s medicine is used in a form of yx creatine. It was originally used to treat metabolic disorders, but it hasn’t been used on a large scale in the country yet. As for the drug in Old Madam Yue’s medicine, it’s only available in French pharmaceutical factories at the moment. After the police come over, I’ll directly submit the evidence.”
