"Ah..."
Hearing this, Xu Lingyue was dumbfounded, standing still as her brain lost the ability to think.
It’s over!
How could I say sothing like this? Now Brother Ye Xuan will completely misunderstand, thinking of her as a girl who doesn’t respect herself... Xu Lingyue felt overwhelming sha, as if there was a little person in her heart banging their head against a wall incessantly.
However, when she noticed the teasing look in Ye Xuan’s eyes, she instantly realized she had been tricked.
"Brother Ye Xuan, I can’t believe you would joke like that with , I’m not going to talk to you."
With her little fists pounding Ye Xuan twice, Xu Lingyue said with a face full of embarrassnt and annoyance.
Seeing her shy look, Ye Xuan smiled slightly: "Don’t overthink it, you’ve been feeling down lately, so I made a joke to lighten the mood. Do you feel a bit better now?"
Hearing Ye Xuan say he was thinking of her, even though she didn’t know if it was true, Xu Lingyue’s heart felt as sweet as honey.
While the two of them were flirting, the others in the hospital room were busy gathering around Mr. Xu, and after half an hour, Mr. Xu’s consciousness gradually returned.
He half-lay on the board bed, listening to Xu Renhai talking about the family events of the past few days, with Xu Renjie occasionally chiming in.
Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but nod quietly. Mr. Xu, who led a tiny family to beco one of the five major families, can truly be described as a formidable leader of his generation.
Even if this lion is now old and weak, only able to lie in bed, the aura of power he emanates still commands respect and awe.
Although his two sons are also outstanding, in front of this old man, they remain respectful, pressured by his aura to the point they don’t dare to speak!
Mr. Xu’s eyes appeared a bit cloudy, but still held a deep gaze, with bright flashes as his eyes opened and closed.
After listening to Xu Renhai’s narration, Mr. Xu said in a deep voice: "Eldest, announce my recovery imdiately! What the family needs most right now is to reassure everyone; the Xu family must not fall into chaos during this special period!"
Xu Renhai nodded, "Understood, father."
Then, Mr. Xu turned his gaze to Xu Renjie, his eyes showing appreciation, "Second, you’ve done well during my ti in a coma and seriously ill, maintaining the family’s business, and this is your credit! Additionally, I’m planning to add more responsibilities to you. The Xu family’s business in the mainland and overseas will be entrusted to you to expand. I hope you won’t disappoint !"
Hearing this, Xu Renhai’s expression changed, seemingly wanting to say sothing.
But Mr. Xu gave him no chance to speak!
Xu Renjie, however, looked delighted, with a joyful expression, and said, "Father, rest assured! Regarding our Xu family’s future planning, I have already made detailed plans. Entrusting these businesses to is the wisest choice, and I will certainly not let you down! Additionally, I will prepare the materials as soon as I return, for your review at any ti."
Mr. Xu shook his head, "You handle these matters as you see fit! I don’t have the energy now, so you can make the decisions."
Upon hearing this, Xu Renjie’s smile blossod like a flower, and he hastily assured, "Father, I understand!"
After handling so family trivial matters, Mr. Xu then instructed Xu Renhai, "Eldest, help up! I want to et the Divine Doctor who saved my life."
Ye Xuan stepped forward directly, smiling at Mr. Xu, "Hello, sir!"
Sitting up, Mr. Xu turned his head to look at Ye Xuan, saying gratefully, "Divine Doctor Ye, I didn’t expect you to be so young; truly remarkable for soone so young! Thank you for saving this old man’s life!"
"Although the Xu family is just a small family in Haogang and can’t compare to the mainland, if you ever need anything, as long as you don’t mind, the Xu family will do everything possible to serve Divine Doctor Ye."
What!
Upon hearing this, both Xu brothers were taken aback!
They hadn’t expected the old man to make such a huge promise, offering the entire Xu family to serve Ye Xuan, this...
"Father, we..."
Xu Renjie began to speak first, but Mr. Xu waved him off.
"No need to say more! Divine Doctor Ye has given a life-saving grace, comparable to recreating , and this huge kindness cannot be repaid within my lifeti, so I can only make a humble effort, and that’s settled." Mr. Xu said calmly.
The two brothers looked at each other, but seeing Mr. Xu’s determined stance, they could only acquiesce despite any discontent.
"Grandpa, you’re so partial, only thanking Brother Ye Xuan, isn’t there my credit too? If it weren’t for bringing Brother Ye Xuan to treat you, would you have recovered so quickly?"
Xu Lingyue pouted cutely, ran to the bedside, and grabbed her grandpa’s hand, pretending to be angry.
Upon hearing her, Mr. Xu laughed heartily, looking lovingly at Xu Lingyue, "How could I forget my little Yue’er? Since you invited Divine Doctor Ye, I certainly must thank you. Tell , what reward do you want?"
"Grandpa, I don’t want any reward! I just don’t want to beco a sacrificial lamb of the family, nor do I want to marry that He Zhipeng!" Xu Lingyue replied crisply.
"Hmm?"
Instantly, Mr. Xu’s brows furrowed and his expression darkened.
The room’s atmosphere beca tense again!
"Is what Yue’er said true? You two had better explain to ."
Mr. Xu coldly looked at his two sons.
Under the father’s questioning, Xu Renhai had to explain the marriage alliance with the He Family honestly.
"You two are so foolish! The Xu family’s strength in Haogang for so many years relies on mutual trust and unity. Now, sacrificing Yue’er’s happiness to temporarily stabilize the family, how will others in the family perceive this? If even the Xu family’s eldest daughter can be sacrificed, what about them? Do they beco even less important? Once things spiral out of control, the Xu family will crumble and is not far from decline!
You two have been around long enough, how can you not understand such basic reasoning? Second, quickly cancel the marriage. If the He Family is unwilling, let them co and speak to in person!"
The old man instructed sternly.
"Hehe, thanks, grandpa."
Xu Lingyue happily exclaid and hugged her grandfather.
Suddenly rembering sothing, Mr. Xu asked Ye Xuan, "Divine Doctor Ye, I heard from Renhai that you will need to detoxify two more tis to completely remove the toxins from my body, is that correct?"
"That’s right." Ye Xuan nodded.
Mr. Xu asked, "I wonder how long the interval between each detoxification should be?"
"Given your current physical condition, it should be about five days between each detoxification." Ye Xuan replied.
Mr. Xu nodded, showing a thoughtful expression.
As he turned his head, he noticed his granddaughter Xu Lingyue sneaking glances at Ye Xuan, her face showing a shy expression.
Seeing this, Mr. Xu couldn’t help but smile, a tender smile appearing on his old face.
