Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Death of the Bastard Turtle

Jian Xi glared at Jiang Qimeng resentfully. She really knew how to seize every opportunity.

Yan Qing blocked her. "The old master is here. It’s not convenient for Miss Jiang to go over."

"Did you hear that? It’s not convenient for you to go over. After all, a mistress is the most unpresentable. You should know your place!" Jian Xi sneered, shoving her aside.

Jiang Qimeng trembled with anger, unable to help but grind her teeth. "Jian Xi, this is the police station. You should be careful about the impact of your words. It’s best to leave each other some dignity."

Jian Xi spread her hands. "You shamelessly follow my husband everywhere, yet you can’t handle a few words from me? Then you’re really going to suffer in the future."

She kept repeating "my husband," completely forgetting how cruelly she had thrown the cat into his room, causing him to have an allergic reaction and nearly go into shock.

Jiang Qimeng bit her red lips hard, and large tears streamed down her face.

"Don’t shed those worthless tears at me. I’m not Si Yuhuan. If you have the guts, call him now. Cry to him, and see if he’ll abandon his grandfather to be with you."

Jian Xi left without any scruples, slamming the door behind her.

Yan Qing followed closely. Once outside, she fired the driver on the spot.

The driver was bewildered. "Madam, what’s wrong?"

"I don’t keep traitors here. Did you think I didn’t know you leaked my whereabouts?" With that, she got directly into Yan Qing’s car. "Let’s go."

From beginning to end, she didn’t say another word, her gaze fixed on the scenery outside.

Nobody knew that Jian Xi had recorded everything that had just happened. This recording, whether it’s useful or not, depends on how it’s used!

「At Si Yuhuan’s detached villa.」

Grandfather had already been waiting at the dining table for a long time. As soon as Jian Xi entered, she saw the grandfather and grandson sitting on either side, the atmosphere heavy, like the calm before a storm.

"Grandfather." She felt awkward. After all, his grandson had nearly died, and it was by her own hands.

"Xixi, come here!" Grandfather beamed as soon as he saw her. This made Jian Xi feel even more guilty.

"Grandfather, I’m sorry..."

Before Jian Xi could finish, Si Yuhuan interrupted, "Of course, you should apologize for not taking good care of me. But she didn’t know the nanny had a cat, and it’s already been cleaned up. It was an accident; it’s fine."

"What are you scolding her for, you brat? Can’t you look after yourself? Did I send you to the Jian Family Old House to act like a lord? I sent you there to take care of Xixi! Instead, you, with your poor health, end up in the hospital. How shameful!"

Jian Xi was puzzled but gradually understood. Si Yuhuan had actually taken all the blame upon himself, covering for her. Grandfather was berating him like this. Even she felt a pang of sympathy listening to it.

"Grandfather, in the future, I’ll try my best to prevent animal fur in the house. Allergies aren’t something he wants." Si Yuhuan glanced at her, and Jian Xi quickly added, "However, his constitution is indeed a bit weak. He should drink some tonic."

You can criticize a man for anything, but never say he’s inadequate!

Si Yuhuan was furious. "I’m strong and healthy! COUGH, COUGH, COUGH—" It was so itchy; he couldn’t help scratching his arm again.

The dignified president of Haohan Group was now in a sorry state, covered in bloody scratches.

Grandfather looked disgusted. "You should still drink some."

After the meal, a maid immediately began to decoct medicine for Si Yuhuan. The tonic was black, smelly, and had an indescribably strange taste. Grandfather stared at him. "Drink!"

Si Yuhuan had no chance to escape. He took the bowl and downed it in one gulp, nearly vomiting, veins bulging on his forehead from the effort.

TSK, TSK! This is no different from torture. How wonderful! The anger simmering in her heart dissipated a little.

Grandfather even instructed the servant, "From now on, three times a day, not one dose less. Xixi, Grandpa needs to trouble you with something."

"Grandfather, please tell me." Jian Xi couldn’t refuse a grandfather who was so good to her.

"Make sure he drinks it continuously for a whole week. If he disobeys, tell me immediately. Anyway, this old man only has this one life. If I die of anger, he’ll lose his grandfather."

"Grandfather!" Si Yuhuan was speechless.

Jian Xi’s eyes sparkled as she quickly agreed, "Don’t worry, Grandfather. With me here, he will definitely drink it." It won’t kill him! But the bitterness might just do the trick.

Grandfather wasn’t in good health and tired quickly after chatting for a while, so he went upstairs to rest. The hospital was already urging Jian Xi to go for a dressing change. Si Yuhuan also needed an IV drip. It was their first time experiencing the drama of a husband and wife both needing hospital care simultaneously.

On the way, Si Yuhuan warned, "Don’t think that just because you have Grandfather backing you, you can do whatever you want."

Of course, she wouldn’t think that. After all, in her previous life, he had defied Grandfather many times for Jiang Qimeng. He had nearly angered Grandfather to death. Jian Xi wouldn’t bet her life on whether he had a conscience or not.

"Don’t worry. I’ll just make you take your medicine. If you behave, I won’t make things difficult for you." Those words sounded so odd!

Throughout the journey, Si Yuhuan’s expression was as foul as it could be. Jian Xi pretended not to notice.

The process of changing the dressing was a bit painful, but she endured it, her eyes red-rimmed.

The doctor had been specially instructed by her fourth brother and repeatedly emphasized, "Make sure not to get it wet, and maintain a light diet. The lotion your fourth brother prepared should be applied three times a day, not a single dose missed. This will greatly aid recovery and ensure no scars are left."

Jian Xi certainly wouldn’t forget such an important matter. She quickly took out the lotion from her bag and applied some.

"Doctor, I’d like to ask you a favor. Could you help me find some lotion that is extremely bitter but has no medicinal effect whatsoever? Do you have any?"

The doctor frowned. "And this is for?"

"It has a great purpose. Don’t worry, it’s not poison. I’m not interested in murder, nor would I implicate my brother’s good friend."

The doctor gave a wry smile. "Alright, no problem." This request was certainly easy for them to fulfill.

Soon, Jian Xi obtained the most bitter, yet non-toxic, lotion.

Wan Yu called. "Ancestor, I’ve failed again."

It seemed her career wasn’t going smoothly, likely because Zhou Yan was injured, causing many projects to be shelved. Jian Xi felt very sorry. She had already given Wan Yu a bank card, but that friend had returned it, resolutely refusing.

"Taking a friend’s hard-earned money? I’m not that shameless. Besides, natural disasters and man-made calamities have nothing to do with you." Wan Yu waved her hand magnanimously, a gesture that perfectly matched her straightforward personality.

Because of this, Jian Xi had already asked her second brother to find an opportunity to compensate Wan Yu, using her own money. "Don’t worry, you’ll earn it back soon. I have great confidence in you."

Wan Yu’s mood instantly brightened, and she started teasing, "Such a sweet talker! How did you know I have good news?" She chuckled slyly and said mysteriously, "Although Zhou Yan, our cash cow, is temporarily out of action, I’ve already found an even more stunning beauty to headline New Fashion Media. She’s an unparalleled sweetheart scouted from abroad, Ye Qianxin!"

It seems her second brother’s efforts paid off!

Jian Xi had heard of Ye Qianxin. She was a newly emerged "sweetheart darling," whose exquisitely beautiful face had captivated countless otaku, making her a famous "otaku harvester." Recently, Li Bin had mentioned to her that if Yaowang wanted to advance further, besides signing Zhou Yan, they should also sign this "Sweetheart Sect Hierarch" to achieve instant stardom.
