“What do I mean? Elder Mo, you should have some idea, so I won’t say anything more.” Huo Yanwang glanced at Elder Mo with just the right amount of restraint. “The focus now should be on how to cure Mr. Mo.”

Elder Mo’s heart skipped a beat. However, the situation was critical and he had no choice but to not think about it. He only said, “If that’s the case, then I’ll let… Huo Yanwang treat young Ting.”

The person Mo Ning brought were given an important position. For a moment, she felt as though she had gained some glory. She immediately cleared her throat and said, “Since the godly doctor wants to treat my cousin’s illness, then the rest of you can leave, right?”

Although she was talking about the rest of you, her eyes were staring coldly at Chi Xiao.

As they were quite far away, Mo Ning could not see Chi Xiao’s face clearly. All she knew was that this person was an ugly freak.

Mo Jun agreed with Mo Ning’s words. “Yes, yes. Those who are not involved, please leave.”

He felt nauseous just looking at Chi Xiao’s face. The earlier he chased her away, the easier it would be for him to stop worrying.

Chi Xiao was left out in front of everyone.

“You’re asking me to leave?” Chi Xiao smiled and looked even uglier. “I’m afraid it’s not appropriate. After all, I’m Mo Ting’s wife. In terms of status, I’m naturally closer to him than this cousin.”

Mo Ning felt that it was not right for her to say that and her face turned red.

Instead, Mo Jun came up to protect Mo Ning and pointed at Chi Xiao’s nose as he scolded, “Who taught you to talk like that? Ning is older than you. You should call her more respectfully. Who allowed you to talk to her like that? Apologize quickly.”

The more he spoke, the more satisfied Mo Jun became. He stared coldly at Chi Xiao’s face and said, “You’re so ugly and yet you still came out to embarrass yourself. I don’t know what you’re thinking. How did the Chi family raise such a daughter?”

“Mo Jun!” Elder Mo knocked his walking stick on the floor hard and stared at Mo Jun with his sharp eyes.

However, seeing that Mo Jun was being suppressed by him, yet his eyes were filled with anger and indignation, Elder Mo sighed. Mo Jun had been out of tune when he was young. Now that he was finally older, Elder Mo thought that he might have matured a little. Who knew that the older he was, the more undisciplined he would be.

However, at least he still had some bottom line. He had been fooling around outside but did not bring any lives into the world. His son was still his only son.

“Your father-in-law is not very clear-headed. Don’t get angry with him.” Su Ling softly comforted Chi Xiao. She felt her face burn from what Mo Jun had said just now. It was so embarrassing.

Chi Xiao smiled gently. “Of course I won’t get angry. After all, he is Mo Ting’s father.”

It was one thing for her not to get angry, but it was another thing for Mo Jun to learn his lesson.

Chi Xiao asked quietly, “How does father usually treat Han Han?”

Su Ling wanted to sigh when this matter was brought up. Mo Jun was a person who was neither good nor bad, and he still held Mo Ting in high regard. Usually, he was afraid that Mo Ting would be blinded by the girls outside, so he often personally took care of Mo Ting’s life. However, it just so happened that… Mo Ting brought back a child four years ago.

He said it was his son.

Mo Jun didn’t believe it and sneakily went to the hospital to do a paternity test. The final result came out, and Mo Han was indeed Mo Ting’s son.

However, Mo Jun couldn’t get over the hurdle in his heart. He always felt that Mo Han was brought back from outside. Even if it was his biological grandson, he was definitely not well-fed.

Therefore, he wasn’t good to Mo Han, but he wasn’t bad either. Their relationship was neither salty nor indifferent, causing Su Ling to be anxious.

Su Ling didn’t answer, but Chi Xiao didn’t need her to. Su Ling’s expression had already explained everything. When Chi Xiao looked at Mo Jun again, there was already a deep meaning in her eyes.

Chi Xiao felt comfortable when she saw Mo Han lying on her shoulder and sleeping with his face flushed red. She hugged Mo Han’s small body tenderly and thought to herself, with her around, she would never let anyone have the chance to hurt Mo Han in the future.

On the other side, “Huo Yanwang” was already preparing to perform acupuncture. At this moment, he was communicating one last time with Elder Mo.

Perhaps because long illness turns the patient into a doctor, Elder Mo had some understanding of the human body’s acupuncture points. After asking “Huo Yanwang” which acupuncture points he wanted to perform acupuncture on, his heart felt a little strange.

In the plan given by “Huo Yanwang,” some of the acupuncture points were conflicting. In fact, many of the acupuncture points had nothing to do with Mo Ting’s illness.

With this thought in mind, Elder Mo looked at Huo Yanwang with more scrutiny. After a slight pause, Elder Mo asked again, “I wonder if Gui Jianchou is doing well?”

The hand that Huo Yanwang used to hold the needle paused slightly and he asked with a dry smile, “Elder Mo, why are asking about my junior? My junior is naturally very well now. He just went on a trip to Sanya a few days ago.”

Just how sharp was Elder Mo’s gaze?

From Huo Yanwang’s actions, Elder Mo quickly realized that something was amiss. He leaned on his walking stick and said heavily, “Who exactly are you? I don’t believe that you’re Gui Jianchou’s senior.”

These words struck Huo Yanwang’s head like thunder..
