Chapter 344: Elope With Him
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Xu Xiyan continued, “But, for a distinguished and wealthy wife such as you, Mrs. Huo, what you’ve said just now was astonishing and you sounded like a shrew from the markets. In my opinion, if Mrs. Huo has the time, you should read less of the entertainment tabloids and read more spiritual and self-help books.”
Chen Yunlu: “...”
This... This woman actually turned her words around and called her an uncultured shrew?
Xu Xiyan smiled politely as she finished her speech. In the distance, she saw Huo Yunshen come out from the Moxiang residence. She decided to go meet him.
But for Chen Yunlu, this matter had yet to come to a conclusion. Seeing that Xu Xiyan was about to leave, she grabbed her arm and said, “Jing Xi, you’re more difficult to deal with than I thought. Not only are you rude, but you’re also being impertinent. You really think that I won’t punish you?”
“Oh, I’m so scared, Mrs. Huo!” Xu Xiyan gave a spurious smile and said in a seemingly joking manner, “I’m a timid person. If you push me too hard, I might abduct your son and elope with him.”
Chen Yunlu: “...”
W-w-what did she just say?
She wanted to abduct her son and elope with him?
“Jing Xi, don’t you dare!”
Chen Yunlu was showing some disarray and her face was filled with agitation.
“Maybe you would like to try me, Mrs. Huo?”
Chen Yunlu was beaten: “...”
Xu Xiyan smiled pleasantly and gently pulled her arm away from Chen Yunlu’s grasp. “Mrs. Huo, you’re a smart person. I believe you know very well that even a rabbit will bite when forced into a corner. So don’t try to push me!”
Xu Xiyan strode past Chen Yunlu towards Huo Yunshen. When they met, Huo Yunshen asked her, “What were you talking about with my mother?”
When Huo Yunshen had come out of the Moxiang residence just now, he saw them chatting for some time and Xu Xiyan was laughing joyfully.
“I was talking with Mrs. Huo about her health. Recently her body has been feeling a little heaty and I was suggesting some Chinese medicine for her that is guaranteed to cure her.”
“Oh, that’s good. You can go in and see my grandfather now. I’ll go meet my mother.”
Huo Yunshen was relieved. He had been worried that his mother would give Xu Xiyan trouble. Now it seemed that he had been worrying for nothing.
“Okay.”
Xu Xiyan went into the Moxiang residence. Huo Yunshen steered his wheelchair to his mother’s side. His mother was still standing in the same spot where she had been talking to Xu Xiyan. He reached out and squeezed her hand.
Her palms were sweaty and her fingers were chilly.
“Mom, are you all right?”
Huo Yunshen thought to himself. Chilly fingers and cold sweat that feels slippery. Aren’t these symptoms of excessive internal heat?
Chen Yunlu heard her son calling her. After recollecting her wits, she said nothing and suddenly fell onto the armrest of Huo Yunshen’s wheelchair and sobbed uncontrollably.
His mother was like a sad child who’d had her toy stolen. Huo Yunshen was baffled.
Excessive internal heat is not even a terminal illness. Why so sad?
“Mom, don’t worry. You have to believe in Jing Xi. If she says she will do it, she will do it.”
What Huo Yunshen meant was: if Xu Xiyan said that she can cure his mother, she would keep to her word and cure her.
But after hearing this, Chen Yunlu began to cry even harder, as if her son was about to be taken away from her. She was so distressed that tears rained ceaselessly from her eyes.
Huo Yunshen patted his mother on her back and comforted her for a moment. When Chen Yunlu finally stopped her tears, she choked, “Son, you must not leave your mother! If I lose you, I will not be able to live anymore!”
