"Where are you going!"

At that moment, Mother-in-law Li Cuilan smacked Qin Feng on the back of his head, screaming furiously, "You should be the one leaving! Would we be in this mess if it wasn't for you? You disaster-bringer, good-for-nothing, just scram!" "Shut up!!"

Qin Feng also became enraged, his eyes piercingly fixing on Li Cuilan.

When Li Cuilan met his gaze, she shuddered with fear, like a lamb seeing a hungry wolf, and dared not to speak for a moment.

"Qin Feng…"

Xu Yunxiao, crying, shook her head and said, "No, I can't leave. I've given my all for Shuimu Company; I don't want to leave just like that. Moreover, if I go, I'll be driven from the family tree, and it would bring shame to our lineage…"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng could only take a deep breath and said, "Alright!"

Then.

He looked up at Xu Changjian, his voice cold, "The old grandma's illness is caused by you; you are the real criminal!"

Hearing this, people looked at each other in disbelief.

Xu Changjian retorted angrily, "Are you out of your mind? How can you pin this on me?"

"That's just crazy, lashing out like a cornered dog!"

"…"

Others also exclaimed.

Qin Feng stood up and explained, "The old grandma's disease is a heart condition, excessive heart fire, and the birthday gift you gave her was 'Withered Wood Spring's cliff juniper. Cliff juniper is associated with wood, and wood fuels fire, which made grandma's heart fire flare up!"

After he finished.

Everyone was astounded.

Even Xu Yunxiao felt there seemed to be some sense in it!

"You're talking nonsense!"

Xu Changjian, furious, continued, "Grandma also uses wooden chopsticks to eat, why doesn't that affect her? And now you blame my precious cliff juniper!"

"Because it's 'Withered Wood Spring'!"

Qin Feng, with his hands behind his back, his gaze sharp, "The energy it contains is much stronger than ordinary wood. You all saw earlier, its presence made the surrounding potted plants thrive, naturally affecting the old grandma's heart fire!"

"This, this…"

People looked at each other in confusion.

They hadn't expected his explanation to be so compelling!

Xu Changjian, not knowing how to respond, stammered, "What heart fire, what fire from wood, what era are we in to still believe such superstitions?"

"He's right."

Su Ruolan then stepped forward and said, "Ordinary wood is one thing, but 'Withered Wood Spring' has a very strong energy, which in Traditional Chinese Medicine, can affect the internal organs."

As she spoke.

A glint appeared in her eyes, showing appreciation for Qin Feng's earlier words.

Hearing this, everyone was in uproar!

If Su Ruolan has spoken, could there be any doubt?

Xu Yunxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This meant that grandmother's illness wouldn't be blamed on her family.

Her view of Qin Feng changed drastically.

In awe of him, she saw a real man, surprised by his medical expertise, which even the medical genius Su Ruolan acknowledged!

"If you can diagnose the illness, do you have a way to treat it?"

Su Ruolan asked Qin Feng at that moment.

"He doesn't have a freaking clue!"

An irritated Xu Changjian shouted, "He's just a worthless freeloader of the Xu family, an absolute good-for-nothing, Elder Li, don't treat him like a real man!"

Others felt the same.

Even though his recent insight was astonishing, how could a worthless in-law have such skills?

Qin Feng then smirked coldly, "There is a way, and it's right under Xu Changjian's feet."

People instantly looked down.

Under Xu Changjian's feet, they spotted a medicine pill.

The pill was Qin Feng's gift of longevity earlier, first crushed by Li Cuilan, then repeatedly stepped on by Xu Changjian, now flattened into a mass.

"Are you still trying to poison grandma?"

Xu Changjian yelled.

"If you don't believe, there's nothing I can do."

Qin Feng spread his hands.

"You..."

Xu Changjian didn't know what to say.

Seeing that grandma was about to pass away, Su Ruolan picked up the crushed medicine pills, sniffed them carefully, and said, "Although I don't know the ingredients, the scent coming from the medicine pills is indeed for treating heart fire!"

After saying this.

He immediately put the medicine pills into grandma's mouth.

Half a minute later. My Vi*rtua%l% L#i.b+r-a*r&y^ Emp.ire (*)! t%ha^n-ks! you for r$e%a^din@g* at the s^ou#r!c&e^.

Grandma's pale face finally regained some color, she slowly opened her eyes, and even felt more energetic than before!

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Each of them joyfully crowded around grandma to show their concern.

Xu Yunxiao, observing the situation, looked at Qin Feng with an extremely astonished gaze.

She had also believed that the medicine pills were fake and was surprised to find that they could indeed cure her grandma's heart ailment!

So, this meant... had she wrongly accused Qin Feng before?

Thinking of this.

She felt somewhat guilty.

Turning to Qin Feng who had sat back down, she said, "I'm sorry…"

Qin Feng smiled warmly and said, "You don't need to apologize; I've never blamed you, and I will never blame you."

"…"

Hearing this, Xu Yunxiao felt a surge of warmth and almost burst into tears.

Once grandma was fully awake, she asked everyone what exactly had happened.

Before Xu Changjian could speak, Su Ruolan recounted everything that had just occurred to grandma.

She couldn't stand seeing Xu Changjian and the others bully others so overtly.

Since she was Su Muqing's granddaughter, Xu Changjian and the others couldn't really refute her.

After hearing this, grandma sighed and said to the concerned guests with an apologetic smile, "Thank you all for your concern, please take a seat and enjoy the feast!"

Once everyone was sure she was alright, they took their seats.

The banquet continued.

At this point, mother-in-law Li Cuilan couldn't hold back any longer and asked grandma, "Mom, you saw that Qin Feng saved you, and the medicine pills have been proven to be real, so about Yunxiao's company..."

As she spoke.

Grandma frowned.

At that moment, Xu Yaxin sneered, "Regardless of everything, the Xu family will absolutely not allow a thief to manage the company."

Thief?

The audience was immediately abuzz.

Xu Yunxiao frowned, saying, "What do you mean?"

"What do I mean? Are you still pretending?" Xu Yaxin scoffed, "Your company was missing eight million a while ago, and later you filled that amount. Why don't you tell everyone, where did that eight million come from!"

"This…"

Xu Yunxiao didn't even know herself by now.

Initially, she thought it was Yang Junchao.

After the incident involving Yang Junchao, she and Li Jie thought it might be the mysterious person who had been secretly protecting her and had severely beaten up Young Master Li during the brawl at Withered Wood Spring.

But there was no evidence.

"Can't say now, can you!"

Xu Yaxin's mouth curled into a sneer, "Let me tell everyone! On the very same day that you repaid that eight million, President Zhang of Zhengyang Company, located on the same floor as Shuimu Company, just happened to lose eight million in cash! How coincidental is that?"

"You suspect I stole it?"

Xu Yunxiao was shocked.

"You can't even clarify the source of your money, what do you expect everyone to think?"

Xu Yaxin said with a mocking tone.

Hearing this, the crowd immediately began talking amongst themselves.

Her money's source was unclear.

And a company on the same floor just happened to lose the exact amount of money, this was too much of a coincidence!
