When Chu Chu saw Fu Zhongtian open his mouth, she quickly added. “Indeed. Although I have changed the formula of the medicinal cuisine, Mr. Fu’s body has not improved at all. In fact… his condition is getting worse.”
Jiang Li took a look at Chu Chu, and Chu Chu immediately lowered her head guiltily.
Jiang Li suddenly snorted coldly and looked at Fu Zhongtian. “Chu Chu was brought here by big brother. Since her medical skills are not good enough, why don’t you bring her back?”
“No!”
Chu Chu immediately retorted as soon as Jiang Li finished speaking. She even stood up from her chair agitatedly.
Everyone saw Chu Chu lose her composure and stopped what they were doing. Chu Chu also felt awkward, so she quickly sat down and said in a low voice, “Give me some more time, I will definitely think of a way.”
The entire old residence was in an awkward situation. Jiang Li did not say anything. She just quietly peeled and deveined the prawns for Fu Jiuxiao. Looking at Jiang Li like this, Fu Jiuxiao’s eyes and heart were filled with tenderness.
Even Old Master Fu could not help but smile when he saw how sweet the couple was.
Unfortunately, there were always people who could not stand to see others being good.
Li Shuwan saw the two of them and said sourly, “Yo, Old Master Fu is still here. Can you young people be more careful?”
Fu Yusheng saw his mother open her mouth and quickly chimed in. “That’s right. Who are you acting for? You really don’t mind being embarrassed.”
“Yusheng, enough! This is a family banquet. Your uncle and aunt are very close. I didn’t say anything, so you have no right to speak!” It was rare for Old Master Fu to say such harsh words in front of so many people, so he could be considered to have made his attitude clear.
When saying this, Old Master Fu kept looking at Li Shuwan, as if he was blaming her for being too talkative and not teaching her son.
Fu Zhongtian pushed his glasses up and narrowed his eyes slightly. He already had a plan in mind. It seemed that the old man was still biased toward Fu Jiuxiao.
With this thought in mind, Fu Zhongtian raised his head and nodded at Chu Chu.
Chu Chu’s hand that was holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, but she was determined to do as Fu Zhongtian instructed.
After dinner, Fu Jiuxiao discussed some matters regarding the group with Old Master Fu, and Chu Chu had already brought the medicine ver. “Mr. Fu, it’s time to take the medicine.” Chu Chu’s hand that was holding the medicine was a little unsteady, and ripples appeared on the surface of the medicine.
Fu Jiuxiao looked up at Chu Chu. He seemed to have realized something, but she still drank the medicine.
Chu Chu saw Fu Jiuxiao drink all the medicine with her own eyes, and she suddenly let out a sigh of relief. She quickly took the medicine bowl and washed it a few times, afraid that there would be drug residue.
Jiang Li saw Chu Chu washing the dishes in a panic from the corner of her eyes, and she had a plan in his heart.
“Dad, it’s time for Jiuxiao to rest. I’ll take him upstairs.”
After saying that, Jiang Li brought Fu Jiuxiao back to her room. After closing the door properly, she turned his head and saw Fu Jiuxiao’s sweaty face.
Jiang Li quickly went forward and saw Fu Jiuxiao push her away with red eyes. “Stay away from me. There are aphrodisiacs in the medicine. I will hurt you.”
It was hard for Fu Jiuxiao to speak and Jiang Li only felt sorry for him. How could she bear to leave?
She immediately took out a silver needle and pricked Fu Jiuxiao’s acupuncture points. “Bear with it. It will make you feel better.”
Fu Jiuxiao nodded. After a while, he finally could speak smoothly. “They wanted dad to see me being ridiculous, so they did this.”
Hearing that, Jiang Li suddenly looked up. They just looked at each other briefly, and Jiang Li understood what Fu Jiuxiao meant. “I got it. Leave it to me.”
After saying that, Jiang Li immediately used a silver needle to destroy the central air-conditioning button. Then, she flipped out of the balcony and knocked Fu Yusheng out with a hand knife while he was drinking in the room. She dragged him to Fu Jiuxiao’s room and sent Fu Jiuxiao to the guest room next door, after doing all this, she went back to her room.
Not long after, Jiang Li heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw that it was Li Shuwan standing outside. “Jiang Li, it was my fault for saying all those things at the dinner table. I’ve made some soup for you, so let’s go downstairs and drink it.”
Jiang Li looked at her face, which was trying hard to suppress her anger, and smiled. “Sure, sister-in-law.”
Li Shuwan was a brainless person. She did not expect Jiang Li to have seen through them. She smiled proudly and secretly gestured to Chu Chu who was hiding in the corner.
Chu Chu came out from the dark and quietly came to the door. She took a deep breath, turned the door knob, and entered the room.
