"Mom, how are you feeling?"
"Mom, are you still feeling unwell?"
Chang Lan blinked her eyes and checked herself; although her tone was still a bit weak, her complexion clearly turned much rosier.
"I'm fine now, I feel much better, even better than before."
Seeing that Old Mrs. Chang was okay, the Qiu Family finally relaxed.
At that mont, Jiang Chuan and Qiu Qianyu turned to leave.
Since Old Mrs. Chang was fine, they naturally had no reason to stay.
Qiu Qianyu felt the sa way, she didn't want to stay at the Qiu Family even for a mont.
And naturally, the Qiu Family didn't stop them, so Jiang Chuan and Qiu Qianyu quickly left.
Chang Lan then sat up with the help of Qiu Deming, drank a few sips of water, and her breathing beca more stable.
Only then did she ask confusedly, "What happened to just now? Did I faint again?"
The Qiu Family exchanged glances, hesitant to speak.
They saw everything that happened just now clearly, but they were unwilling to give credit to Jiang Chuan.
Then, Qiu Hongyu had a clever idea and suddenly blurted out, "Grandma, you did indeed have a relapse and fainted again. My Li Ming quickly did an examination and discovered your special constitution which compromised the initial treatnt."
"But don't worry, my Li Ming tried his best, and during the second attempt with the needles, he completely cured you, Grandma, how do you feel now?"
Even though she was twisting the truth and reversing right and wrong, Qiu Hongyu knew well that even if she reversed right and wrong, what did it matter?
The Qiu Family was all around, and they wouldn't expose her to protect that despicable Qiu Qianyu and her country bumpkin husband.
Sure enough, after hearing Qiu Hongyu's nonsense, the Qiu Family not only didn't expose her, but actively supported her claims.
"Yes, thanks to Li Ming stepping in again and saving the day, your illness was completely cured, Grandma."
"Indeed, Li Ming is truly young and capable, and his actions are impressive, Grandma, finding such a grandson-in-law is truly a blessing for you."
"Good, good, good!"
Chang Lan felt very comforted hearing these words, looking at Li Ming and Qiu Hongyu, her old face broke into a smile, uttering several "good" words.
"Hongyu, you're very impressive, finding such an excellent young man as Li Ming. Li Ming, you are great, Grandma really likes you, when you and Hongyu get married, Grandma will definitely give you a big gift."
"Grandma, really?"
Qiu Hongyu couldn't have been more excited after hearing this.
Receiving a generous gift from Grandma—such treatnt—not many Qiu Family mbers can enjoy.
Humph, by then, I will be the most glorious woman in the Qiu Family. Qiu Qianyu, you despicable woman, let's see how you compare to !
Li Ming, too, couldn't help but be smug upon being praised.
The slight unease in his heart was thrown far away amid the crowd's complints.
Just then, a crisp ringtone suddenly rang out.
"It's my phone."
Chang Lan took out her phone, and seeing the number on the screen, her expression imdiately changed, becoming both reverent and fearful, showing great respect.
"President Liu, hello hello, this is Chang Lan."
The call was from Hai Zhou City's top family, Second Young Master Liu Qingsong of the Liu Family.
Although the Qiu Family in Hai Province is considered a second-rate small family, compared to the Liu Family, they are simply insignificant.
The Liu Family is undeniably the number one family in Hai Zhou City, with formidable power, which the Qiu Family cannot match.
Generally, small families like the Qiu Family have a hard ti connecting with big families like the Liu Family.
However, by chance, one of Liu Family's demolition companies took over several old properties that happened to be Qiu Family's, creating a connection between them.
The conversation started with business matters, and the price offered by the Liu Family was reasonable, so Chang Lan imdiately agreed.
After all, if they could connect with the Liu Family, even receiving a bit less demolishnt compensation would be worth it.
The negotiation went so well that the Second Young Master Liu was quite satisfied; he chatted with Chang Lan for a bit and prepared to end the call.
However—
At that mont, Chang Lan suddenly thought of sothing.
