Ever since Mo Zhu returned from the hospital, she had been in low spirits. She even restrained her normal imposing self as she huddled in the corner of her seat.
Xu Huan’s heart ached at the sight.
“Grandma will get better.” Huo Xuan held the girl’s hand.
Mo Zhu felt her palm being wrapped by someone, and a steady stream of warmth flowed into her body. She looked at Huo Xuan in silence, but she didn’t retract her hand.
After a while, the girl thanked him softly.
“Your medical skills are so amazing. Can’t you save your grandmother?” Xu Huan couldn’t help but ask Mo Zhu.
Mo Zhu was silent.
“Don’t worry, there’s still the divine doctor. If we find him, he might be able to cure your grandmother.” Xu Huan suddenly remembered and comforted Mo Zhu.
“It’s no use. He can’t save my grandmother.”
“How do you know it’s useless? Have you tried it before?” Xu Huan asked when he saw how confident Mo Zhu was.
“Your medical skills are so amazing. Don’t tell me that you’re the disciple of the divine doctor?” Xu Huan thought that it was very possible.
Mo Zhu’s medical skills were so amazing that only the divine doctor was worthy of being her master. If Mo Zhu was the divine doctor’s disciple, then there was no need to worry about the divine doctor’s whereabouts. If they asked Mo Zhu to invite him over, perhaps Huo Xuan’s poison could be cured.
“He’s not my master.” Yun Jing was indeed not Mo Zhu’s master. He was at most a teacher who taught her in the beginning. Mo Zhu had mostly studied her medical skills herself.
When Mo Zhu arrived at the Huo Mansion, Chen Man was already waiting for her. Mo Zhu was surprised to see her.
In the car, Huo Xuan saw that Mo Zhu wasn’t in a good mood, so he called Mrs. Huo over.
Chen Man held onto Mo Zhu’s hand and noticed that something was wrong with her mood. She looked at Huo Xuan and Xu Huan inquiringly.
“You guys went to see Xiao Zhu’s grandmother today, did something happen?”
“We saw Madam Fang there when we arrived.” Xu Huan did not mention Mo Zhu’s grandmother’s illness.
When she heard this, Chen Man roughly guessed what had happened. Her mother had abandoned her when she was young, so there was definitely nothing good about her going to the hospital to look for Mo Zhu’s grandmother.
Her heart ached as she hugged Mo Zhu. “Don’t be sad. I’ll be your mother from now on.”
Mo Zhu was in Chen Man’s arms. She, who had always been cold and arrogant, was at a loss, but her heart felt really warm.
“You must be hungry. I’ve made some food. Let’s eat!” Chen Man did not let go of Mo Zhu and brought her to the dining table. Because of Chen Man’s presence, Xu Huan stayed behind.
Xu Huan knew that Chen Man’s cooking was delicious, but even Huo Xuan barely had a chance to eat it. Yet, she had already cooked twice for Mo Zhu. It was clear how much Chen Man liked her.
Chen Man kept putting food into Mo Zhu’s bowl. The reason was that Mo Zhu was too skinny and needed more nourishment. In the face of Chen Man’s enthusiasm, Mo Zhu had never been able to reject her.
In Chen Man’s eyes, Huo Xuan and Xu Huan were like two invisible people. Her daughter-in-law was the most important!
After Xu Huan had her meal, he played games with Mo Zhu. Chen Man did not return to the old mansion immediately either. Instead, she stayed with Mo Zhu for a while longer.
“How’s school, are you used to it?” Chen Man had heard from Huo Xuan that Mo Zhu studied at Jingyang High School. She didn’t believe that the Fang family was the one who sent Mo Zhu there. It seemed like this young lady was very talented.
“If you run into any trouble at school, let me know. If anyone bullies you, I’ll help you bully them back. The Huo Family is here,” Chen Man said.
The young lady was here alone while her grandmother was in the hospital. Chen Man was worried that Mo Zhu would be bullied in school.
Mo Zhu nodded. She knew that Chen Man was concerned about her.
When Huo Xuan heard Chen Man’s words, he felt a little helpless. This young lady didn’t look like she was someone easy to bully.
“How are the lessons? Are you able to keep up?”
“You shouldn’t ask about that.” Xu Huan recalled the test paper he had seen the last time and answered Chen Man’s question.
“Are your grades bad? It’s fine. We’ll take it slow,” Chen Man said to Mo Zhu gently.
“The young lady is very talented in physics and was recruited into the physics group.” Huo Xuan spoke up for Mo Zhu.
“By the way, didn’t you take the monthly exam a few days ago? How many marks did you get?” Xu Huan asked curiously.
“100.” Mo Zhu thought for a moment before speaking calmly.
“100? The total score is 750, right? I can’t believe you got the same total score as another person’s score for one subject. What a coincidence. It’s exactly 100.” Chen Man glared at Xu Huan.
Although she did not expect that Mo Zhu’s results would be so bad, it did not matter. There was still time. Her results could be slowly raised.. If it did not work, it was fine as well, she would not mind.
