Xu Xiyan took over the wheelchair from Yi Xiao and pushed Huo Yunshen into the house.
After the two returned to the apartment, Xu Xiyan poured a glass of water for Huo Yunshen, then took out a Bone Strengthening pill and put it in his hand. “Here, take your medicine, Mr. Huo.”
Huo Yunshen looked at the brown colored pill in his hand. “This medicine…”
“Let me explain, Mr. Huo.”
Xu Xiyan sat down on the sofa next to him and looked into his eyes. “I went to get your medicine from Professor Qin yesterday. But I then gave it to my grandfather so he could examine it. He said the side effects of the medicine are too great and suggested that you should try his Bone Strengthening pills instead. I’ve brought a few bottles back for you, but I forgot to bring them to you last night.”
“It’s okay. Do you mean the Renjing Bone Strengthening Pills?”
“Yes. You knew about them?”
Huo Yunshen nodded. “My mother once visited your grandfather for the medicine, but she did not manage to get them. I heard that this medicine is not for sale to outsiders, and it’s impossible to buy it no matter how much is offered.”
In fact, the real reason for his mother’s failure to acquire the medicine was not because she was not a long-time patron, but because she was a member of the Huo family. Jing Huaduo would never sell the medicine to the Huo family.
“You’re right. I had to act like a spoiled and needy child in front of him before he gave in!” Xu Xiyan laughed.
“Bless you.” Huo Yunshen cast a grateful look at her, then put the pill in his mouth and swallowed it with water.
After he took the medicine, Xu Xiyan took the glass from him and said to him seriously, “Mr. Huo, can you please not tell anyone that you’re taking the Bone Strengthening pills now? You know my grandfather’s temper very well. I’m afraid he…”
Before Xu Xiyan could finish, Huo Yunshen nodded and promised her. “I understand. I won’t tell anyone.”
Advising Huo Yunshen not to say anything about his change of medicine was actually part of Xu Xiyan’s plan.
She didn’t want anyone to know her plans. After all, Huo Jingtang thought that he had successfully threatened and bribed Professor Qin. He thought the switch of medicine was successful and he would no doubt continue to observe Huo Yunshen’s condition.
What Huo Jingtang wanted to see was Huo Yunshen never standing up again. Well, Xu Xiyan was going play along with his schemes.
Xu Xiyan deliberately mentioned Huo Jingtang to him. “Mr. Huo, guess who I met when I went to Professor Qin to get your medicine?”
“Who?”
“Your big brother, Huo Jingtang.”
“Oh.” Huo Yunshen looked a little nervous. “Did he say anything to you?”
He was worried that Huo Jingtang had toldl Xu Xiyan some nonsense.
“No, we didn’t talk. However, I thought he seemed very concerned about your illness. I heard him talking to Professor Qin about your illness for a good while.”
Xu Xiyan did not tell him about Huo Jingtang’s intentions to switch his medication.
She had thought over the matter thoroughly. She could not directly tell Huo Yunshen about it at the moment. The truth would be a great blow to his heart.
Anyhow, as long as she was by his side, she would not allow anyone to harm Huo Yunshen. As for Huo Jingtang, Xu Xiyan would try to remind Huo Yunshen to be more careful.
But if she was going to persuade him, she had to be tactful with her words so it wouldn’t be so direct.
A faint smile had appeared on Huo Yunshen’s face at the mention of his cousin. “Yeah. My big brother has always been good to me. Since the car accident, he has been busy taking care of me. I am very grateful to him.”
Huo Yunshen felt that his elder brother was a very strong person and had very high demands towards other people.
Other than the frequent disagreements at work, Huo Jingtang took great care of his life.
“You’ve been good to your big brother, too!” Xu Xiyan said.
