Chapter 431: He Cannot Possibly Recover

The Lu Family—

Xia Huiya was sitting on the sofa in the study, feeling troubled and looking thoroughly displeased as she complained to Lu Guohui, "That tiny Lin family of theirs should be burning incense in gratitude just to be associated with us. What right do they have to be so picky?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Guohui sighed helplessly, his expression also somewhat irritated.

"Why wouldn't they be picky? Why don't you think about your good daughter and what she did back at the Mu Family? With her reputation now, who would dare take her into their home as a daughter-in-law?"

"You! How can you talk like that? This is your own daughter!"

Xia Huiya was instantly incensed.

Lu Guohui was also full of anger when this matter was brought up, so he couldn't be bothered to argue further.

Ever since Lu Qing'er made a fool of herself at the Mu Family last time, no other family had come to the Lu Family to propose marriage.

In desperation, Xia Huiya had wanted to find someone of lower status than their own to marry off Lu Qing'er.

But unfortunately, she had already been shunned by outsiders, and no family was willing to accept her.

The atmosphere fell into a state of stagnation.

Lu Guohui was just about to say something more, when at that moment—

A sound of footsteps came from the doorway.

"Did you hear that madman in the back talking to himself the other day?"

A servant's voice rang out.

Immediately after, another replied, "I heard it. It sounded like he was muttering a woman's name, something like Xin'ai..."

That person pondered for a moment, not thinking much of it, but said in a gossiping tone, "Hey, do you think... that madman is about to recover? He couldn't even recognize his own mother before, but now he can actually call out a name..."

Her voice had just fallen—

"Swish," the study door was suddenly pulled open violently!

"Madam! We..."

The two servants hadn't expected anyone to be in the study and hurriedly lowered their heads to greet her.

Xia Huiya, however, glared at them and asked anxiously, "What did you just say? That madman in the backyard can recognize people?"

"I... I..."

The servant was startled by Xia Huiya's expression and stammered for a long while before answering, "I think I heard him calling someone's name, but... he's still crazy and foolish the rest of the time..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Huiya's pupils suddenly shrank violently.

Lu Guohui also walked over and waved his hand at the two of them, "Go on, there's nothing for you here."

"Yes..."

The two servants hurriedly turned and left.

Lu Guohui turned around, saw Xia Huiya still stunned in place, hurriedly pulled her back into the study, and slammed the door shut.

"Guohui, what should we do? That madman in the backyard cannot recover!"

Xia Huiya finally came to her senses, and as she spoke, her eyes looked toward the cabinet in the innermost part of the study.

Lu Guohui didn't speak, but stood in front of the cabinet and quickly pressed a string of passwords.

With a "click," the cabinet door opened.

With a calm expression, he took out a medicine bottle from the very back and silently poured dozens of pills into his palm.

"Rest assured, he will not recover. Furthermore, the results this time have proven that after taking the medicine continuously for a year, he can stop for at most half a year, and this situation will not happen again in the future."

As Lu Guohui spoke, he handed the medicine in his hand to Xia Huiya and whispered, "Just like before, once every five days, and feed him some other harmless medicine in between."

Xia Huiya looked at the pills in her palm, a dark glint flashing in the depths of her eyes: "How about... we increase the dosage..."

"No, that would kill him. Do as I say, and there won't be any problems." Lu Guohui looked at Xia Huiya with disapproval.

Upon hearing this, Xia Huiya had no choice but to give up.

The next day at noon—

After lunch, she went directly to find Jiang Chenghao with the medicine.

As soon as she approached, she saw him squatting on the ground drawing circles, muttering to himself, "Xin'ai... ring..."

Xia Huiya was suddenly startled and instantly realized what was happening.

This madman was calling for his former fiancée!

He must be made to take the medicine as soon as possible!

"Cheng Hao, what are you doing? Come and take your medicine..."

Xia Huiya said, while pretending to be kind, and squatted down in front of Jiang Chenghao.

Old Mrs. Jiang witnessed everything from inside the room, and upon seeing the item in her hand, her eyes widened in surprise.

It was pills again!

The Lu Family was going to feed Cheng Hao medicine again!

Old Mrs. Jiang's heart tightened; she immediately turned around, grabbed something from the table, and quickly opened the door to go out.

Outside the room door—

"I... I won't take the medicine!"

Jiang Chenghao was annoyed by Xia Huiya's disturbance, slapped her hand away, and sent the pills flying!

Xia Huiya was instantly incensed and raised her hand at Jiang Chenghao, looking as if she were about to strike—

"Mrs. Lu!"

Old Mrs. Jiang appeared just in time, blocked in front of Jiang Chenghao, and bent down to pick up the pills from the ground.

"Mrs. Lu, let me persuade him to take the medicine..."

As Old Mrs. Jiang spoke, she coaxed Jiang Chenghao softly, "Cheng Hao, come and eat a candy; this is something Mom specifically saved for you..."

Jiang Chenghao was indeed much more obedient instantly and took the pills submissively.

Xia Huiya watched him eat it with her own eyes, then let out a cold snort and turned to leave, feeling reassured.

Seeing him walk away, Old Mrs. Jiang immediately turned and went into the house, took out her phone, and dialed Jiang Baobao's number.

Not long after, the call was answered.

"Hello, Grandma?"

Jiang Baobao's tone was somewhat puzzled.

Old Mrs. Jiang spoke hurriedly: "Baobao, Grandma has something to tell you. Just now, people from the Lu Family came to deliver medicine to your uncle again, and they were watching very strictly, staring at him until he finished the medicine before they left. I swapped the medicine with similar white pills. Do you think we still need to take them for testing?"

"Of course we do!"

Jiang Baobao was busy working, but upon hearing this, she stood up almost immediately and walked toward the door, quickly instructing: "Grandma, I'm coming over right now. You must keep that pill safe."

She gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone, then drove quickly to the Jiang Family and arrived at their usual spot for talking.

Old Mrs. Jiang was indeed already waiting there.

"Baobao, this is it!" Seeing Jiang Baobao, she hurriedly handed over the pill wrapped in a handkerchief.

Jiang Baobao reached out to take it, not daring to delay for even a moment, and immediately said: "I'll take this to Xinaijie for testing right now. I'll let you know the moment there are results."

After speaking, she quickly turned and got back into her car, calling Liu Xin'ai while driving toward the Hospital.

But no one answered.

Jiang Baobao did not call again, intending to go directly to the clinic to find her.

She sped all the way to the Hospital and saw the light on at the door of Liu Xin'ai's clinic, so she knew she was inside.

Jiang Baobao felt much more at ease instantly and pushed open the door, familiar with the way.

Immediately, she saw a young man in a suit sitting leisurely on a chair in the clinic.

Liu Xin'ai was looking at the computer with an expressionless face, not knowing what she was busy with.

Hearing the noise, both of them turned their heads at the same time.

"Baobao, why are you here?"

Liu Xin'ai looked very surprised and subconsciously glanced at Qin Yiyan beside her.

Jiang Baobao also adjusted her expression in an instant, her gaze sweeping over Qin Yiyan without a trace.

This person...

Should be Xinaijie's fiancé, right?
