Late at night.
Xiao Mengyu carefully covered Xiao Ling’er, who was still sleeping, with worry in her eyes, only expecting Qin Hai to return soon.
She rubbed her temples tiredly, then exited Xiao Ling’er’s room and was pa*sing through the hall to go back to the study to deal with some work documents that were lingering, when she found that in the hall, Jing Yu Yao was talking with a strange middle-aged man, she immediately frowned greatly and asked, “Yu Yao? This is?”
“General Xiao.” Jing Yu Yao was busy getting up and said, “This gentleman said he was an old friend of yours and wanted to talk to you, I haven’t had the time to inform you yet.”
A flash of caution and dissatisfaction flashed across Xiao Mengyu’s eyes as she said, “An old friend?”
“Sister-in-law, you haven’t seen me for a few years, don’t you even know me anymore?” The middle-aged man got up and smilingly took a few steps forward.
It was only then that Xiao Mengyu was able to see the appearance of the visitor, her pupils shrank and she couldn’t help but shout with a few moments of surprise, “Bai Hao?”
“Haha, sister-in-law, it’s been a long time.” Bai Hao smiled brightly.
Xiao Mengyu had a few moments of surprise and was busy asking Bai Hao to sit down, and instructed Jing Yuyao to pour tea, saying, “I didn’t expect it would be you, why didn’t you notify me in advance, or come over in the middle of the night.”
Bai Hao crossed his legs, the smile on his face easily made people feel friendly, he smiled and said, “I came two days ago, but I was too busy to remember to set up my sister-in-law, just before I happened to hear that Ling’er seemed to be sick, so I rushed over to see if there was anything I could do to help.”
A flash of gratitude flashed in Xiao Mengyu’s eyes and a helpless sigh escaped her lips as she said, “I did ask a doctor to take a look at it, that doctor has already gone to prepare the herbs, I believe Ling’er’s condition will also improve tomorrow.”
“Is it old Mr. Tang from the city hospital?” Bai Hao asked suspiciously.
Xiao Mengyu shook her head.
Bai Hao frowned slightly and asked again, “I heard that Old Mr. Hua was also in Penghai, was Old Mr. Hua invited?”
“Neither.” Xiao Mengyu smiled, “It’s a friend of mine, and his medical skills are not bad.”
“Sister-in-law!”
Bai Hao’s tone had more than a little bit of dissatisfaction in it as he said in a serious manner, “People’s hearts are wicked these days, don’t run into any charlatans.”
“It won’t.” Xiao Mengyu didn’t care as she smiled, “I trust this friend of mine.”
A flash of mockery and sneer flashed in Bai Hao’s eyes without thinking, but it was only a flash as he smiled, “Can you let me go and see Ling’er?”
Xiao Mengyu hesitated for a few moments, but thinking that he was not afraid of disturbing Ling’er’s rest, he nodded and got up to lead Bai Hao to Xiao Ling’er’s room. After entering the room, Bai Hao sat on the edge of the bed and took a look at Xiao Ling’er, sighing with a tsk, “The last time I saw her was a baby, but I didn’t expect her to be so big after not seeing her for a few years. ”
Hearing him say big brother, a flash of unnaturalness flashed across Xiao Mengyu’s face and she quickly changed the subject, saying, “You haven’t eaten since you arrived, have you? I’ll have the kitchen prepare something to eat.”
“No need.” Bai Hao waved his hand as he took a careful look at Xiao Ling’er, taking her pulse and looking at her eyes with some skill, which made Xiao Mengyu feel puzzled and said, “Bai Hao? When did you know the art of medicine too?”
“I’ve learned some over the years.” Bai Hao laughed, “But I only know a little bit about it.”
When Xiao Mengyu heard that, she lost interest, but still asked, “Then can you tell what’s wrong with Ling’er?”
Bai Hao’s face turned serious, and a few moments of heaviness caused Xiao Mengyu’s heart to tighten, only to hear him say, “If I’m right, Ling’er should have been poisoned by a toxin called Dream Heaven, and that’s why she’s asleep.”
“You know?”
Xiao Mengyu instantly had a few moments of eagerness.
Bai Hao said, “I once chatted with a friend of mine and heard my friend say that this kind of poison, Dream Heaven, is extremely bizarre, the poisoned person will be asleep, but the brain will appear to be overused, and the body functions are also depleted faster, if no reasonable antidote can be found, the poisoned person will either die of starvation or overuse of the brain. see, but will not feel the deterioration of their body.”
Xiao Mengyu’s face changed greatly and she was busy asking, “Your friend said that? Is there any antidote to the poison then?”
Bai Hao smiled and said, “Sister-in-law doesn’t need to worry, my friend naturally has a cure for the poison, but this friend is a bit eccentric and needs to go in person.
Xiao Mengyu’s heart sank, and her eager mind was instantly cold away, her face had a few moments of reflection.
Bai Hao’s eyes narrowed slightly as he continued, “Sister-in-law, this Dream Heaven’s poison is extremely domineering, Ling’er is still young and cannot withstand this domineering medicine, you should know that one minute of treatment at night is extremely damaging to Ling’er, if you are not careful, even if the poison is lifted, Ling’er’s brain will be severely traumatized.”
“This ……” Xiao Mengyu still frowned.
Bai Hao couldn’t help but say with a bit of urgency, “Sister-in-law still doesn’t trust me?”
“No.” Xiao Mengyu was busy shaking her head as she said, “Why don’t we wait until early tomorrow morning, after that friend of mine arrives, and if he still can’t, in ……”
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re doing. Not to mention whether your what’s-his-name friend will come tomorrow, even if he comes, delaying the night is extremely unfair to Ling’er.”
His bite about Ling’er being in danger made Xiao Mengyu’s heart really flutter.
Again, with Bai Hao harping on the condition of repeating the toxins in Dream Heaven, she nearly agreed to Bai Hao’s request, only to think of Qin Hai’s instructions, she said, “Let’s wait for a little while for a night on this matter.”
“Sister-in-law!”
Bai Hao frowned and said with dissatisfaction, “Ling’er is my big brother’s only flesh and blood, I will definitely not see her harmed!”
With that, the guy turned around and picked up Ling’er in his arms.
Xiao Mengyu’s face turned pale and he was busy stopping Bai Hao’s way, who said discontentedly, “Sister-in-law, if you don’t care about Ling’er, it doesn’t mean that I, as an uncle, don’t care.”
“What the hell do you want?” Xiao Mengyu’s face was slightly cold as she asked in a deep voice.
Bai Hao’s face did not blush, his heart did not jump, and he said righteously, “I am trying to save Ling’er.”
Xiao Mengyu took a careful look at Bai Hao, who was also kind enough to let her look, and only after a long time did Xiao Mengyu sigh and say, “Let me hold Ling’er, she’s not used to being held by others.”
The corners of Bai Hao’s mouth lifted slightly, and knowing that Xiao Mengyu had agreed, he also put Xiao Ling’er into Xiao Mengyu’s arms.
But after hugging Xiao Ling’er, Xiao Mengyu retreated a few steps sharply, gazing at Bai Hao warily and coldly, but Bai Hao’s face was chilled and anger surged in his heart, but he suppressed it and said playfully, “Is sister-in-law doubting me? That really chills my heart.”
