"Men Chao, right, Grandpa, it was Men Chao who instructed me to do it, it was him, he said that as long as the Xu Family and Gu Family are thrown into chaos, he could become the Family Head of the Xu Family...." Before Xu Xuezi could finish, Xiao’ou, who was standing by the side, suddenly stepped forward, pulled out a dagger from her bosom, and plunged it directly into the heart of Xu Xuezi.
Xu Xuezi looked at the sudden Xiao’ou with wide eyes: "Xiao’ou, you...."
Xiao’ou looked at her with eyes full of hatred: "Miss, rest assured, I’ll pay with my life. This stab is just to return the favor to Afa on your behalf, Miss. Your mind is vicious, unable to bear anyone being better than you. Because Young Master Gu did not return, you wouldn’t allow me to have love, seeing me and Afa in love, you got jealous. One day, Afa suddenly disappeared, and it was then I realized, you had driven Afa away, he would never return again."
After saying these words, Xiao’ou smiled at the sky and rammed her head against the stone lion at the entrance of the Xu Family, bleeding profusely.
Xiaofeng subconsciously glanced at Men Chao, then at Xiao’ou, and of course, she understood that Xiao’ou stepping forward at this time was merely acting on Men Chao’s behalf.
She just hadn’t expected that Men Chao’s ability was so strong that he could bribe someone close to Xu Xuezi, or was it that Xu Xuezi was such a failure in her ways that even those close to her had betrayed her.
The gaze of Men Chao met hers in mid-air and then shifted away.
Men Chao quickly carried Xu Xuezi into a car, heading for the hospital.
Old Xu hurriedly followed.
Xiaofeng stood at the entrance of the Xu Family, looking at Lin Jing, who was shivering at the side, and without saying a word, turned around to leave.
"Su Xiaofeng, you stop right there." Lin Jing tried to follow, but Ye Fei stopped her.
"Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng, you can’t ignore me, what am I supposed to do if you ignore me?"
Before getting into the car, Xiaofeng looked back at her and said to Ye Fei, "She likes to talk nonsense, right? Let her have her fill at once."
Watching Su Xiaofeng’s car drive away, Lin Jing stamped her foot in anger: "Su Xiaofeng, you little schemer, so I spoke ill of you, do you need to go this far to get back at me? Schemer, schemer."
Whimpering, what was Miss Xu to do now that she had no one to rely on within the Xu Family?
After the hospital announced Yecheng was beyond treatment, Old Gu took Yecheng back home.
Old Gu himself was a doctor, so everyone could guess that perhaps he didn’t want to give up on Yecheng just like that, hoping to try and resuscitate him.
It was rumored that Young Master Gu had been saved by Old Gu, but with only a breath left, bluntly speaking, he had become a vegetable and must lie in bed for the rest of his life.
Others said that Young Master Gu had actually died a long time ago, and Old Gu couldn’t bear to cremate Gu Yecheng’s body, preserving it in ice in a secret room in the Gu Family home, occasionally visiting it.
No matter which story was true, the one certainty was that Young Master Gu, this bright new star, had indeed fallen and was no longer worth mentioning.
In the study of the Gu Family, Old Gu looked at the report he had obtained, his eyes shining, but he didn’t immediately release it to the public and instead put it in a box.
In a secret room inside the study, Xiaofeng was helping Ye Cheng recover. At the moment of the explosion, she had almost instantly tried to move Ye Cheng, but her speed was too fast, and she was still a step too late.
Thankfully, she had managed to save Ye Cheng’s life.
Now the external injuries on Yecheng’s body had mostly healed, and his breathing was getting smoother. As long as she supplied Yecheng with some Spiritual Energy every day, Ye Cheng would probably wake up soon.
"Xiaoqi, does this count as being brought back from the brink of death? After this external catastrophe, the cold poison in his body should have dissipated, right?" Xiaofeng never thought that the method of Resuscitation would so quickly be used on Ye Cheng.
"Master, during his coma, you can use the Blood Vine on him, once every three days, and after half a month, the toxins in his body will definitely be all cleared." Xiaoqi remembered something: "Master, did you see the other effect of the Blood Vine?"
"You should check it out for yourself," Xiaoqi yawned: "You can decide whether to use the Blood Vine on him after you’ve read it."
Xiaofeng entered the space with confusion.
She had read everything carefully last time; could it be that she missed something?
She flipped through the medicine book and didn’t notice anything that needed special attention.
Xiaoqi reminded her, "On the page about the Blood Vine’s effects, there’s a line of small print on the side."
With Xiaoqi’s reminder, Xiaofeng found the page, and there indeed, she found a pattern on the side that explained, those who had used the Blood Vine would lose their memories related to the detoxifier.
In other words, if Ye Cheng’s poison were cured, he would also forget about her.
Why is it amnesia again? Not detoxifying leads to amnesia, and detoxifying still results in amnesia; what kind of poison is this? It’s too tricky.
As long as Ye Cheng can be resuscitated, amnesia be it.
It’s not like it’s his first time experiencing amnesia, for him, it’s just routine.
At most, she would disappear from his life, or she would just have to get to know him all over again.
"Grandfather, the toxins in Ye Cheng’s body should be almost cleared by now," Xiaofeng said as she emerged from inside again, meaning Ye Cheng would wake up in a few days.
Gu Lao looked at Xiaofeng: "Xiaofeng, how did you find the Blood Vine?"
He had only read about the Blood Vine in medical texts, but had never encountered it in reality. Xiaofeng not only found the Blood Vine but also used it to treat Ye Cheng.
"Su Dada had left me quite a few things before, including the Blood Vine. If it weren’t for you saying that the Blood Vine could detoxify the cold poison, I wouldn’t have known that it could save Ye Cheng," Xiaofeng smiled: "Grandfather, do you think this is fate, that everything is predestined?"
"Perhaps," Gu Lao nodded.
"Grandfather, if Ye Cheng wakes up, can you promise me one thing?"
"What?" It was good news that Ye Cheng could wake up; what was it that Xiaofeng was still worried about.
"Grandfather, you know about the Blood Vine, so you must surely also know about its other side effect, it causes memory loss. If he wakes up and has no recollection about me, please don’t tell him about my existence."
"Xiaofeng, you..." Gu Lao couldn’t understand Xiaofeng’s words: "Even if he loses his memory, we can still tell him, to help him regain his memories."
"Grandfather," Xiaofeng smiled: "If I want him to remember my existence on his own, would you help me?"
If she no longer existed in his memory, even if she made him acknowledge her existence, what meaning would it have?
If he truly held her in his heart, she believed that one day, he would remember her.
