“I heard everything,” Xu Xiyan continued . “If you don't do what Huo Jingtang asked you to do, your family will be in danger . If you follow his instructions, he'll definitely give you a hefty reward, but if you don't, then he might kill your family . ”
“…” Qin Kun didn't expect Xu Xiyan to have heard the whole conversation . He'd had no idea how to face her, or face Huo Yunshen who'd believed in him for years .
“Yet, in spite of the situation, you still chose to do the right thing . And for that, you've earned my respect,” Xu Xiyan said . “If you believe me, I have a way to save your family and not do Huo Jingtang's evil deed, how about it?”
“You have a way?” Qin Kun raised his head and stared at Xu Xiyan in awe . He was desperate to know how Xu Xiyan could help take care of his troubles .
Xu Xiyan replied only with a cunning smile .
After Xu Xiyan left the rehab center, she went straight to find her grandfather, Jing Huaduo .
“What's wrong?” Jing Huaduo asked when he saw his granddaughter rushing in .
“Grandpa, can you help me appraise the contents of this medicine?” Xu Xiyan asked while gasping for air . Her head was covered with sweat as she handed the bottle of medicine to Jing Huaduo .
Jing Huaduo inspected the bottle and noticed that it was medicine to prevent muscular atrophy and instantly knew who the intended recipient was .
The old man was still reluctant to have his own granddaughter helping someone from the Huo family .
“Yanyan, you should live your own life and stop mingling in other people's lives,” Jing Huatuo said . “Don't be like your mother and give everything for one man . You should be careful with who you choose to be with . ”
It was as Jing Huaduo had said . Jing Ruyue gave her everything for a man and lost everything because of it .
She'd been tricked by Xu Jinshan and in the end, paid for it with her life .
Jing Huaduo understood both his daughter and granddaughter too well . Xu Xiyan was the same as her mother, straightforward and willing to do anything for the person she fell for .
“I get it, grandpa . ” Xu Xiyan smiled, as she knew that Jing Huaduo was worried about her . “I'll open my eyes before I decide to do anything rash . ”
“We should just call off the bet that we've made . ” Jing Huaduo said . “You better stop helping the kid from the Huo family . If anything happens, they will definitely blame it on you . ”
“Come on, grandpa, a deal is a deal . ” Xu Xiyan rested her head on Jing Huaduo's shoulder . “Plus, if not for Huo Yunshen, I would've been the one in the accident . I'm just trying to repay the debt here . ”
Xu Xiyan made up a story that Huo Yunshen became crippled because he was trying to save her, which she used to trick her grandfather .
“Fine, just be careful . ” Jing Huaduo shook his head, agreeing to assist Xu Xiyan in helping Huo Yunshen .
Jing Huaduo opened the bottle and took a sniff which made him frown immediately .
“Give me a few minutes,” Jing Huaduo said and went into the lab to analyze the medicine .
After half an hour had passed, Jing Huaduo came out with the results…
