Xiao Li was a bit puzzled, "I didnât see Mr. Han."
Hao Yuanfang paced in circles, scratching his head, looking extremely agitated.
He cursed his wife several times in his heart and also blamed Xinyan for not being considerate.
Recalling what Mr. Mu had said earlier, his anxiety grew stronger. Now unable to administer acupuncture due to his trembling hands, Mr. Muâs wife seemed obliviously stubborn, wanting others to save their son without paying the price.
What he least expected was that Mr. Han was even more exceptional than Mr. Mu described. He forgot that Mr. Han was rushing to catch a military plane.
Knowing he couldnât catch up, he returned to the ward.
Mr. Hao just finished inquiring about his grandsonâs condition when he saw his son enter, "Did they leave?"
Hao Yuanfang shook his head, "Couldnât catch up, Xiao Li downstairs also said he didnât see him."
Ding Xiulian suddenly jumped out again, "See? Some people just want to manipulate others when they have some skills. Sheâs not the only one who knows acupuncture, truly out of line."
Mr. Haoâs face darkened, "If you want to harm your son, keep talking. Youâre right; sheâs not the only one who knows acupuncture, but she might be the only one who can help your son recover quickly."
Ding Xiulian clearly didnât believe him, "Dad, didnât you say she learned the Mu Family acupuncture? Isnât there anyone among the Mu Family descendants who can perform acupuncture?
Besides, arenât there Mr. Mu and his apprentices?"
Mr. Hao was furious, clutching his chest, "Truly a womanâs perspective.
The Mu Family acupuncture isnât something just anyone can master. If the Mu Family descendants were competent, why would Mr. Mu pass his unique skills to Mr. Han? Youâve lived a luxurious life for too long, youâve lost the ability to think."
Ding Xiulian had never considered all this, she only thought Mr. Mu gave the younger generation an opportunity because of his friendship with Du Guoshou.
Suddenly realizing something, she understood sheâd been tricked by her sister-in-law, "Itâs the sister-in-law who kept telling me that a young girl performed some acupuncture and walked away with a Hao Family house and top-quality jade jewelry, thinking Mr. Han seemed unassuming but actually had a huge appetite.
Dad, Yuanfang, Iâm sorry, I was wrong, I didnât know about this. Donât worry, Iâll prepare a generous gift and personally apologize to Mr. Han."
Mr. Mu didnât expect the second daughter-in-lawâs interference, growing even more furious, "Do you think everyone is like you women with nothing better to do each day? Mr. Han is traveling today, itâll be good if he returns before the school year starts."
Ding Xiulian was completely dumbfounded now, no matter how much she regretted, Xinyan had already joined Mr. Gu, heading to the airport.

Meanwhile, Lin Kaixin finally caught up with Ye Liyan, "Ye Liyan, why, why refuse?"
Ye Liyan looked at Lin Kaixin, exhausted and worn out, "Kaixin, weâre not suitable."
Lin Kaixin was on the verge of collapse, "How are we not suitable? I liked you back then, and wanted to be with you, but you said you didnât want to remarry, feared neglecting Sili and Siyan if you had other children. Now, I canât have children, isnât that exactly what you wanted?"
Ye Liyan frowned, staring at Lin Kaixin, who seemed almost insane, "Kaixin, we canât deceive ourselves, you know I can never forget my wife, I canât give you what you want. Donât persist, Iâm not worth it."
Lin Kaixin reached out, holding Ye Liyan, "I know what you said, I like you and thatâs enough. Now you donât need to worry about having other children, I promise to wholeheartedly love Sili and Siyan, why canât you give me a chance?"
Ye Liyan admitted he initially found Lin Kaixinâs carefree personality different from other women who schemed against him, thinking that when busy, he couldnât care for his two children, and he had some thoughts.
But later, the Lin Family matriarch approached him, disapproving of their relationship, speaking quite rudely, waking him up to agree to an external reassignment.
Now with Lin Kaixin encountering issues, the Lin Family matriarch sought him out, not to mention he had already closed his heart to Lin Kaixin and candidly talked with the two kids about their future life, ensuring no fourth person would replace their motherâs position.
Not to mention, how does the Lin Family regard him?
Ye Liyan didnât want to continue the conversation with Lin Kaixin, to avoid unnecessary issues, "The two sons are very independent now, I donât plan to remarry in this life, I have things to do, Iâll take my leave."
After speaking, he bypassed Lin Kaixin and walked away quickly.
Lin Kaixin watched Ye Liyanâs retreating figure, tears instantly welled up.
The Lin Family matriarch witnessed everything, ran over to hug her daughter, "Kaixin, itâs momâs fault, but you see, Ye Liyan isnât worth your constant obsession."
Lin Kaixin cried even more upon hearing this, muttering, "Mom, you caused me a lot of pain, but I donât blame you. Youâre right, I canât reach into his heart, heâs not worth me thinking of him whole-heartedly."
