“My sister is not a heartless person. Because you are seeking medical treatment, I believe she will treat you if you are sincere enough.”
He stated. He smiled when he saw their eyes light up. “She is, however, a very busy person, and she does not frequently stay in Heavenly Pill Tower. She is constantly on the move, so it is natural for you to claim that you did not meet her when you went there.”
“That…” Patriarch Qiao opened his mouth to ask, but then he heard him speak again.
“Til lend you a hand because you’ve all knelt down to me. But what I’d like to tell Patriarch Qiao is that before she treats your father, she’ll send someone to inquire about and gather information about your Qiao family. If she discovers that you are a family that bullies the weak and oppresses the people, I
doubt she will save you, no matter what I say.”
When Patriarch Qiao heard this, he quickly said, “Don’t worry, Young Master Guan. Our Qiao family has always been upright, despite the fact that we are not great philanthropists. There have never been unworthy descendants who have bullied ordinary people.”
Guan Xilin nodded. “You can first send your father to Hundred Rivers City. It will be easier for her to treat when we return to Heavenly Pill Tower.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Then, I will make arrangements tomorrow.” Patriarch Qiao said happily and thanked him repeatedly.
After thanking him several times, they told him they would not disturb his rest any longer and left. When only Guan Xilin remained in the courtyard, Ye Jing, who had returned to the room and had not partic.i.p.ated in this conversation, emerged when only Guan Xilin remained in the courtyard.
“You promised them this, but what if Ah Jiu doesn’t help them?” She was in the room and could hear everything he said.
“Hehe, that’s unlikely.”
He laughed and approached her. “In my opinion, the Qiao family has a good family style, and all he wants is for his father to be cured. Although he had a mind for his clan, his filial piety was at the heart of it. The most important thing to Little Jiu is affection. She will undoubtedly a.s.sist as long as she is
able to cure it.”
Ye Jing couldn’t help but laugh. “Yet you also threatened him by saying that those who oppressed ordinary people would not be treated.”
“Tm not trying to scare him, but I’m trying to warn him. Alright, let’s stop talking about this,” Guan Xilin said, holding her hand. “It’s getting late. Go to bed! We have a trip planned for tomorrow.”
“Mm, then you should go to bed early as well.” She replied and returned to her room to rest.
Guan Xilin walked into another room to rest after watching her enter the room. They had a good night’s sleep and slept till morning.
Guan Xilin and Ye Jing were eating breakfast the next morning when Qiao Yinuo entered.
“Brother Guan, Miss Ye.” He smiled and saluted. “Brother Guan, my friends and their family elders are waiting outside with generous gifts, wanting to personally thank Brother Guan.”
Guan Xilin made a wave with his hand. “No, no, we’re leaving right now. We’re too lazy to socialize.” He didn’t have a lot of spare time.
Seeing this, Qiao Yinuo said, “Since Brother Guan doesn’t want to meet them, I’ll tell them to go back!”
“Mm hmm.” Guan Xilin responded. Qiao Yinuo left, but he returned a few moments later, trailed by some servants carrying gifts.
“Brother Guan, they said that even if Brother Guan didn’t meet them, they still would like to express their grat.i.tude to you. These gifts are a token of their affection. Please accept them..”
