As the ashes of Ye Huohuo's talisman turned to dust, Mr. Li, who lay on the sickbed, finally woke up.
Li Mohen was the first to arrive at the bedside. He checked the readings on the various instruments by the bed, all of which were normal. He then used his stethoscope to listen to Mr. Li's heartbeat, which was strong and steady.
Seeing the old man's face gradually regaining its color, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mohen? Why am I here?" Old Mr. Li, Li Yuan, looked around. "Why are you all here? I'm in..."
Seeing the surroundings and the instruments, the old man immediately understood that he was in the hospital and struggled to sit up.
"Why am I in the hospital? What's going on?"
Li Yuan detested being hospitalized and even feared it from the bottom of his heart.
When his son and daughter-in-law had their accident, he hadn't even seen them alive. By the time he rushed to the hospital, all he saw were two cold corpses covered with white sheets.
As he was stimulated by the event and fell ill, he ended up staying in the hospital for almost half a year.
From then on, although the old man's health gradually recovered, he also developed a psychological block, and would never go to the hospital unless absolutely necessary.
Now, seeing himself lying in a hospital bed without knowing how he got there, the old man was first stunned, then immediately tried to get up.
"Grandpa, calm down. You fainted just after dark today and were brought to my hospital. I'll give you another check-up shortly. If there's nothing wrong, I'll let you go back, alright?" Li Mohen saw his grandfather in this state, trying to pacify him while looking at Li Mohan helplessly for help.
Li Mohan sighed inwardly, "Grandpa, listen to Mohen. He's the most professional. Let's do a few tests, and once we're sure everything is fine, we can go home with peace of mind. Otherwise, if you feel unwell again, you'll have to come back.
Although we can take medicine and get injections at home, we don't have these diagnostic instruments, do we?"
The old man still looked very reluctant. At this moment, a clear voice sounded from the back of the crowd.
"No need for checks, the old man is already better!"
Everyone, including Li Yuan, looked towards the voice. It was Ye Huohuo who had spoken.
"Who is this little girl?" Li Yuan looked at Ye Huohuo. He saw a pretty and delicate-looking girl, but she was wearing the kind of clothes he hated the most, and she had an old, worn-out bag slung over her shoulder.
Her attire was messy and strange.
Li Yuan's face darkened. "Mo Yan, how many times have I told you not to bring those strange girls home? If you want to bring someone, bring your real girlfriend."
Li Mo Yan felt like he was being cursed for no reason, sitting at home.
"Grandpa, can you stop throwing all your dirty water on me? I have many female fans who pursue me, but I've never brought any of them home. This was brought back by Big Brother, and they've already called her sister-in-law!"
Li Mo Yan raised an eyebrow, curious to see how his grandfather would react to the girl dressed like this, brought back by his most sensible eldest grandson.
Among the four brothers, Li Yuan valued his eldest grandson the most, and the one he treated the worst was this third grandson who was always attracting trouble!
He was indeed the third grandson his grandfather talked about!
Li Mo Yan had been holding a grudge for a long time, wanting to see his eldest brother make a fool of himself, and today he finally seized the opportunity.
"Sister-in-law?" The first person to be stunned wasn't Old Mr. Li, but Li Mohen.
Although he had interacted with Ye Huohuo for half a day, he had always thought she was a young master brought back by his eldest brother to cure their grandfather. He never expected her to be his sister-in-law. No one had told him!
"Second Brother, you don't know yet? Big Brother personally admitted it!" Li Mo Chen added.
After all, opportunities for Li Mohan to be stumped were rare.
However, the person most uncomfortable at this moment wasn't Li Mohan, but Sun Jinyu. That little girl dressed in cheap clothes was Li Mohan's wife?
Impossible, absolutely impossible! But she waited for a long time and didn't see Li Mohan deny it.
"Mo Han? What... what is going on?"
Li Yuan felt his head buzzing. As soon as he opened his eyes, not only had he been moved from home to the hospital, but his eldest grandson, who didn't even have a girlfriend, actually had a wife? He didn't know whether to be happy or angry.
The blood pressure displayed on the bedside monitor shot up, emitting a "beeping" alarm.
"Grandpa, don't get agitated. Let Big Brother speak! Don't get agitated!" Li Mohen quickly comforted him while asking a nurse to get blood pressure medication.
"Grandpa... I..." Li Mohan pursed his lips, a look of difficulty appearing on his exceptionally handsome face.
Since the Li Group had stabilized five years ago, Li Yuan had never seen such an expression on Li Mohan's face.
"Old Mr. Li, actually, it's like this. Mr. Li and I made a deal. I would cure you, and in return, he would be my nominal husband and help me with something." Ye Huohuo saw Li Mohan's troubled expression, knowing he didn't want to deceive his grandfather but also didn't want to reveal the truth.
So, she generously explained on his behalf. After all, this was their private matter, and she was the one with the most say, besides Li Mohan.
"Help? What kind of help requires such a method?" Li Yuan was furious. Marriage was never to be trifled with in the eyes of his generation.
While Li Yuan was enraged, Sun Jinyu became happy in her heart: As I thought, no matter how bad Li Mohan's taste was, he wouldn't fall for such a wild girl. It seems he must have some leverage over this little girl.
If she could help him resolve this matter, she wouldn't have to worry about him not looking at her in a new light?
Everyone's attention was focused on Li Mohan and Ye Huohuo, and no one noticed the venomous gaze Sun Jinyu cast at Ye Huohuo.
"Old man, don't be angry, it's not what you think! Do you remember Xuan Ji Zi?" Ye Huohuo saw the old man's expression and, in her urgency, spoke the truth.
Li Yuan immediately quieted down, looked at Ye Huohuo, and scrutinized her from head to toe. "You? ...Are you?"
Ye Huohuo quickly interrupted him, "Old man, don't you dislike being in the hospital? Let's go home first, and we can talk at home."
As Ye Huohuo spoke, her eyes glanced at the Sun father and daughter.
Li Yuan, having experienced great storms, immediately understood.
"Alas, I'm old now and can't manage your young people's affairs!"
The rapid change in his attitude surprised even Li Mohan. He hadn't expected his grandfather to agree?
He had been wondering how to get his grandfather to agree to his absurd decision, but Ye Huohuo only mentioned a name, and his grandfather agreed?
There must be something fishy going on.
Sun Fu saw that Li Yuan was much better and got up to leave with Sun Jinyu. However, at this moment, Li Mohan called out to him.
"Uncle Sun, wait a moment!"
Hearing this, Sun Fu's entire body trembled.
Among the four Li children, the other three could still call him Uncle Sun when they saw him, but ever since Li Mohan took over the Li Corporation and became its president, he had never called him Uncle Sun again.
This address of Uncle Sun sent a chill down his spine, making his hair stand on end.
"Heh, Mr. Li, please don't call me that, I..."
"You deserve it. I underestimated you before. You are quite capable of handling affairs!" Li Mohan's words were polite, but his tone was chillingly cold.
The other members of the Li family were stunned by his sudden change in attitude.
Although Li Mohan rarely spoke warmly to people, he wasn't usually so impolite, especially since Sun Fu was an old friend of their father, and he had been somewhat more courteous to him before.
But what was going on now?
"Mr. Li, what do you mean by this?" Sun Fu asked, although his voice lacked confidence.
"You know what you've done, do I need to say it out loud?" Li Mohan's gaze also turned icy.
