Chapter 146 Placing Hopes in the Poison Doctor
Even the composed Qi Huan was taken aback by Jiang Youli's directness. He couldn't help but smile and then explained, "When I said I didn't hold back, I didn't mean it was all resolved. It just means that before I met you, I didn't have any romantic feelings for other women."
Jiang Youli looked at Qi Huan with a mixture of belief and doubt in her eyes.
Of course, she felt that Qi Huan had no reason to lie to her.
but--
She wanted to tease Qi Huan.
"Huanhuan, you're not young anymore. Normal men your age would have needs, right?" Jiang Youli asked deliberately with ill intent.
Qi Huan smiled gently, "Little Li'er, you know the situation of our Qi family. My third and fourth uncles' families are eyeing the position of Qi family heir. If I were even slightly distracted, I wouldn't have reached my current position. I'm so busy with company matters every day, and I'm in the middle of building my career. How could I have the leisure to think about such things? Even my marriage to Jiang Yonghe was arranged by my grandfather. It's only now that my legs are crippled that I've been able to have some free time. Plus, I met you, Little Li'er, and I'm only just beginning to understand matters between men and women."
Finally, he asked again, "Little Li'er, you wouldn't think I'm too old, would you?"
Jiang Youli couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I don't mind at all, Huanhuan, you're just the right age, not too old."
After a pause, she asked curiously, "Speaking of which, I am a little curious. Your father, Qi Tianxiang, is the youngest in the family, but you are the eldest young master of the Qi family."
"It's all because of puppy love. While my aunts and uncles were still working hard on their careers, my father was indulging in romance." Qi Huan said in the most serious tone, "I've mentioned before that the reason my mother fell for my father was because he was handsome back then."
Jiang Youli nodded. "I understand."
Both are exceptionally good-looking, and in terms of precociousness, Qi Huan didn't inherit his father's traits either; instead, he selectively inherited the good ones.
"Alright, I'm going back now. I have a ton of things to take care of tomorrow."
"it is good."
It was nearly eleven o'clock when Jiang Youli, along with her beautiful new mother and handsome new father, returned to the Jiang family's villa in the East District.
She returned to her room and found signs that someone had indeed entered.
A little while later, Little Black, Little White, and Little Green swam out.
Little Green climbed onto the bed quickly and then swam to Jiang Youli's side.
Seeing that they were alright, Jiang Youli sat on the bed and touched the little green one that had poked its head out first, saying, "You are as great as ever."
She guessed that Jiang Xing would try to have someone sneak into her room again to collect evidence that she kept venomous snakes, and then make a big deal out of it at the engagement banquet. Unfortunately, Jiang Xing failed and completely lost Starlight Entertainment, and also lost her qualification to inherit the Jiang family business.
Jiang Yonghe also suffered the pain of disfigurement due to the residual poison.
It's truly gratifying that these two met such an end.
Overjoyed at receiving the praise, Little Green rubbed against Jiang Youli's finger, then pointed to the window with the tip of its tail, its eyes filled with anticipation.
"Alright, tonight you can enjoy a buffet in the garden as a treat."
Little Green tumbled off the bed and then boasted to Little Black and Little White about how she had managed to get them a free buffet.
Jiang Youli chuckled. Little Green is still the same as ever.
Blackie and Whitey ignored it and swam out the window one after the other.
Little Green quickly followed.
After watching the three small snakes go out the window, Jiang Youli got up and walked to the bedside, watching them swim further and further away, her eyes filled with anticipation.
This is not yet the most desperate time for Jiang Xing and Jiang Yonghe.
If he wasn't mistaken, Jiang Xing knew that Jiang Yonghe's face was damaged by the residual poison, and he would definitely make her go to the auction house with him tomorrow to find the poison doctor.
I wonder what their reaction will be when they see her?
……
City hospital.
"Why can't I get a blood transfusion?" Jiang Yonghe couldn't accept the fact after hearing the doctor's diagnosis and shouted excitedly.
Qin Yulian, who was standing next to her, was startled.
After realizing what had happened, Jiang Yonghe took a deep breath and softened her tone, saying, "Doctor, as you can see, my face is swollen like this because of the residual poison in my body."
Qin Yulian quickly added, "Doctor, money is not a problem. If the hospital's blood bank doesn't have enough blood, we'll find a way to get it."
The doctor solemnly said, "Of course we can perform a full blood transfusion, but we must explain beforehand that this surgery is not only risky, but even if you have a blood transfusion, the condition of your face may not improve."
Hearing that even a blood transfusion might not guarantee her face would recover, Jiang Yonghe was in despair. She couldn't accept living with this face!
She'd rather die than have her face heal!
But before she dies, she will definitely drag Jiang Youli, the culprit, down with her!
……
Inside Jiang Zhao's hospital room.
Seeing her mother, Qin Yulian, and younger sister, Jiang Yonghe, enter the room, both looking listless, Jiang Xing couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong?"
Qin Yulian sighed and repeated the doctor's words to him.
Upon learning of his sister Jiang Yonghe's condition, Jiang Xing said gravely, "Xiaohe, come with me to the largest auction house in Beijing tomorrow. A poison doctor will be there tomorrow, and perhaps he can cure the remaining poison in your body."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yonghe's lifeless eyes rekindled with hope: "Really?"
Jiang Xing looked at her and nodded, "Yes, according to Mr. Lin from the auction house, that poison doctor is very powerful and can cure any poison."
Jiang Yonghe excitedly grabbed his arm and said, "Okay, I'll go with you to the largest auction house in Beijing tomorrow."
Looking at her younger sister so close to her, Jiang Xing didn't look away immediately.
That swollen, red face looks awful.
Hopefully, that poison doctor can cure Xiaohe's poison; otherwise, not only can she not bear to see her in this state, but even he, as her older brother, cannot bear to look at her.
Although Jiang Zhao remained unconscious in her hospital bed, she was still fully conscious. She had heard from her mother, Qin Yulian, about Jiang Yonghe's ordeal at Jiang Youli's engagement party that evening, and inwardly cursed, "Serves her right!"
Such a vicious and hypocritical woman deserves to remain ugly and unable to be seen by others for the rest of her life!
After he finished cursing, a sense of pride and joy welled up in his heart. His younger sister was as formidable as ever, not only escaping harm from that vicious woman Jiang Yonghe, but also making Jiang Yonghe suffer so much.
It’s really great!
"That damned Jiang Youli is truly heartless! Yonghe is almost dead from poisoning, and she actually just stands by and watches her die!" Qin Yulian trembled with rage and burst into a tirade of curses.
Jiang Yonghe, her face streaked with tears, cried out as if her heart was being torn apart, "Isn't Jiang Youli very good at controlling those poisonous insects and snakes? I suspect that my being bitten and poisoned by the scorpion this time was not an accident at all, but something she did on purpose. She just wanted me to die."
When Jiang Zhao heard Jiang Yonghe start playing the victim again to gain sympathy, he thought to himself, "Pah!" If his sister Jiang Youli was doing it on purpose, then she was really doing a great job!
"It's possible... no, not possible, it's definitely Jiang Youli deliberately trying to harm you!" Qin Yulian realized, her anger flaring even more. "No wonder people said she wouldn't help you; she wished you dead! I've never seen such a vicious person!"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and Qin Yulian felt as if her chest was about to explode.
"What's most outrageous is that the old man actually publicly declared that Xing'er cannot inherit the Jiang family business. I think he's really gone mad with age!"
As she continued cursing, Qin Yulian became increasingly uneasy. "Jiang Youli is so wicked, could the old man be under her mind control? Like, perhaps she's using a curse on him?!"
