The next morning.
Just as Mo Zhu woke up, she was informed by Huo Xuan that he had already taken leave for her and she didn’t have to go to school today. She sat at the dining table and ate breakfast as she looked up and asked, “What are your arrangements after breakfast?”
Huo Xuan raised his hand and scooped a bowl of porridge for Mo Zhu skillfully. He replied lightly, “Let’s go to the hospital to check on how Feng Yu is doing.”
When Mo Zhu heard this, she started eating faster. She nodded in agreement and said, “We’ve been back from Beijing for so long, and we’ve gotten the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb. It’s time to go and see how his illness has developed.”
After saying this, the two of them quickly finished breakfast and rushed to the ward on the top floor of the Huo family’s private hospital.
It was still the same room as the last time. When Mo Zhu pushed open the door, she saw Feng Yu lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, his mouth and lips cyanotic. All sorts of tubes were still inserted into his body. Her heart ached so much that she frowned slightly. Then, she raised her hand to the
man’s wrist and started to take his pulse seriously.
A few minutes later, through the examination, Mo Zhu already had a rough understanding of Feng Yu’s current physical condition. She placed her hand on the man’s and gently shook it. She promised with a serious expression, “I will definitely cure you!”
After saying this, Mo Zhu lowered her eyes, turned around, and left the hospital with Huo Xuan.
The two of them returned to the Huo residence. Before they entered, they saw an old man in a conflict with the security officer of the villa.
Seeing that the Huo family’s car was parked at the entrance, the security officer immediately took two steps forward and knocked on the car window politely. After Uncle Zhang lowered the window, the security officer turned to look at Huo Xuan and said, “Young Master Huo, there’s an old man here who
claims to be here to look for Ms. Mo. The few of us have never seen him before, and we don’t dare to let him in casually. Please take a look at this person. Do you know him?”
‘When she heard that the person was here to look for her, Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows and looked over at the person through the rearview mirror. Just as she saw the old man’s hunched figure, her eyes immediately darkened. She opened the car door and personally got out of the car to welcome the person.
Seeing how much Mo Zhu cared about this person, Huo Xuan also got out of the car with interest and opened the door for the two of them.
When Mo Zhu saw Old Guo standing at the door in a daze with a small bag on his back as usual, she quickly walked up to him and neatly took the bag from the old man’s back. She said in a low voice, “Why did you suddenly come here to look for me? Why didn’t you give me a call in advance?”
A few days ago, Old Guo had promised Mo Zhu that he would return to China, but he had been delayed by something else after he had just bought the plane ticket. Even when Zhang Fen had passed away, he had not been able to complete his business and rush back in time to attend the funeral. Mo Zhu
was surprised to see him suddenly at the door today.
The old man sighed and said with a hint of regret, “I missed Grandma Zhang’s funeral a few days ago and I feel very guilty. You really didn’t tell me in advance. If you had told me a day in advance that the special medicine was gone, I might have been able to think of a way!”
‘Mo Zhu lowered her head with a hint of pain on her face. “It’s useless even if I told you earliera€!”
Seeing that Mo Zhu was a little sad when she thought of Zhang Fen, Old Guo looked up at the door of the house that had been opened by Huo Xuan. As he walked into the house, he changed the topic and said, “Let’s not talk about the past. I’ve been hearing all sorts of rumors about your engagement since I
came back to China these few days. In that case, I’ll stay at my disciple’s fiancé’s house for the time being!”
Mo Zhu took two steps forward and caught up to the old man. She frowned and opened the bag in her hand and asked, “What’s in this bag of yours? Did you bring it back from overseas?”
The old man shook his head and said with a mysterious expression, “This is the thing in the small box that Gao Qing asked you to bring to me previously.”
After being reminded by Old Guo, Mo Zhu remembered that after she had talked to Old Guo on the phone last time, she had left the small box in Beijing where he had instructed her to. Now that this thing had been brought back to Cloud City by Old Guo, it meant that he had specially rushed to Cloud City
from Beijing.
Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows and closed the bag again. She asked indifferently, “So this is what that woman called Xiao Lan left for you?”
The old man smiled and waved his hand. “My disciple, don’t look down on these things. They’re very useful. You might even need them in the future!”
Mo Zhu stared at Old Guo in confusion. The old man saw her confusion and reached out to take the bag from the girl’s hand. As he dug out the things inside, he explained, “I’ve never mentioned Xiao Lan to you before. You might not know that she’s a famous poison refiner in the martial arts world. As the
saying goes, medicine and poison are inseparable… Xiao Lan’s achievements in the field of poison production are even above my medical skills!”
