On the other side of the corridor, Jiang Quan had just returned from a phone call when he heard what Jiang Xinchen said. He held onto his glabella. “Jiang Xinchen, do you want to be grounded at home?”
Yu Zhenling’s head was also hurting. “Xinchen, watch your attitude when you speak to your sister.”
This was the old master’s favorite granddaughter. Of course she had to be present at this time.
Jiang Xinchen pursed his lips. He wanted to say ‘I don’t have such a sister’ but he didn’t dare. He merely glared at Meng Fu.
Unexpectedly, Meng Fu’s expression was different from what he had expected. She appeared neither flabbergasted nor smug. Instead, she just glanced at him calmly.
“What happened to Grandpa?” At this moment, Meng Fu didn’t have time to fight with unimportant people. She did not even bother to glance at Yu Zhenling, let alone Jiang Xinchen.
She walked to Jiang Quan and asked him.
Jiang Quan pressed his glabella and glanced at the emergency room. His voice sounded grave. “Old Master is unwell. There’s a problem with his blood and qi.”
He patted Meng Fu’s shoulder to console her.
Meng Fu nodded. She had expected this. Maintaining a nonchalant expression, she asked, “Did you give him the brocade bag that I asked you to?”
Jiang Quan didn’t expect Meng Fu to mention the bag at this time. Looking dazed for a moment, he shook his head and said, “I asked your mother to give it to him.”
With that said, he glanced at Yu Zhenling.
Was this the time to think about that messy talisman? Yu Zhenling’s head was hurting badly. However, she endured this as Jiang Quan was present.
She nodded perfunctorily and said in an unfriendly tone, “I already gave it to him.”
“You didn’t.” Meng Fu turned sideways and glanced at Yu Zhenling. She pointed at the emergency room and enunciated her every word. “If you have really given it to him, he wouldn’t be going through an emergency right now.”
Meng Fu had specially prepared a talisman for the old man. She was aware that the old master had taken good care of the female journalist during her absence.
The Jiang family took the old master’s illness very seriously. Every visit to the old master had to be recorded in writing. The entire process was too cumbersome. The old master was very warm and affectionate towards her. This was the first time in Meng Fu’s life that a senior had enthusiastically “advertised” her to others in front of her. Therefore, she had sought Jiang Quan’s help to pass the item to the old master.
She hadn’t expected Jiang Quan to pass the job to Yu Zhenling.
The usual smile on Meng Fu’s face disappeared. Even her charming, almond-shaped eyes were filled with coldness. They looked icy, dimmed, and sullen.
Yu Zhenling tried to control herself but didn’t manage to do so. “Meng Fu, do you really think you can use a messy talisman to make your grandfather well? Is this an appropriate time to be harping on about this? Your grandfather is being treated in the emergency room right now. He won’t be cured just because you prayed for him! You are almost 20, not two years old! Even if you want to win your grandfather’s favor, this is not the right way. Painting a talisman yourself?”
“Mom, don’t be angry. Sister doesn’t know that.” Jiang Xinran calmed Yu Zhenling down quickly. She then turned to Meng Fu. “Sister, grandpa’s illness is not a normal one. Even the hospital doesn’t have a solution. You wouldn’t understand even if we told you everything. Don’t be angry with mom.”
“So, where did you throw it?” Meng Fu didn’t look at Jiang Xinran. Pressing her temple, she did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“I replaced it with the peace talisman that I got from the temple.” Yu Zhenling glanced at Meng Fu and her heart gradually turned cold.
“Do you know where my talisman is?” Meng Fu nodded.
Yu Zhenling became impatient. “Where else can it be? If you want it back, I’ll get the butler to go home and search for it. I’m not going to intervene in your affairs in the future!”
Hearing this, Jiang Quan turned to Yu Zhenling. “What a mess. I told you to pass the item from Fu’er to Father. What did you do? Fu’er, your grandfather is still in emergency treatment. Let’s talk about this again after he comes out.”
After Meng Fu confirmed that the brocade bag was not lost, she felt much more relieved. She tucked her hands into her pocket and said, “There’s no need to. I’m going back to practice.”
She left the hospital immediately.
Everyone in the corridor had a strange look on their faces.
Jiang Xinchen sneered again and looked at Jiang Quan. “What’s the use in asking her to come? Grandpa is not even out yet and she hurried back to train and perform. Grandpa is really blind.”
“That’s enough.” Jiang Quan glanced in Meng Fu’s direction. He could not understand her actions either.
Meng Fu had looked very anxious when she first arrived. Why did she leave so haughtily now?
But before he had time to think about it further, the Yu family arrived.
The old master’s situation was a major event. The hospital had notified his family. As the Yu family was closely connected to the Jiang family, the Yu family naturally came to the hospital as well. The person who came was Yu Yong.
“I just saw Meng Fu downstairs. She seemed to be on the phone,” Yu Yong mentioned this after he inquired about the old master’s condition.
Hearing that, Jiang Xinchen couldn’t help but say, “She is here to put on an act.”
He had only spoken a few words before Jiang Quan glared at him. Therefore, he did not dare to continue talking. However, Yu Yong had heard him. He nodded. He didn’t care about Meng Fu. Even if he found it strange, he was not curious and did not press on.
After everyone finished talking about Meng Fu, Jiang Xinran then said softly, “I met Brother Eryu yesterday. Fortunately, I heard him mention Divine Doctor Feng in the capital. Perhaps we can invite her and her disciples. We may be able to solve the problem of Grandpa’s illness with them.”
Yu Zhenling had been infuriated by Meng Fu but upon hearing Jiang Xinran’s words, her attention shifted. “Divine Doctor Feng? Who is that?”
There were many people who visited the old master. But not many people in T City were aware of his situation.
The door to the emergency room opened.
Simultaneously, the doors to the lift at the end of the corridor opened and a group of doctors exited. Walking ahead of the group was an elderly person, wearing a badge with the words “Hospital Director” on it. The group seemed to be in a hurry.
Yu Yong’s eyes were sharp and he saw the badge on the chest of the group leader with a single glance. He was shocked. “He’s the director of this hospital?” The Jiang family had only managed to get the deputy director to provide consultation for the old master through the help of the Tong family. Why was the hospital director here?
