"The divine doctor you're talking about, could it be this young brat?"
"Shishi, it's not that Second Uncle is saying anything to you, but that you and your brother are too easily deceived!"
"This person is only in his early twenties. He probably hasn't even memorized the medicinal ingredients yet, and he calls himself a divine doctor?"
Second Uncle seemed unfazed by Xie Shishi's panic.
He arrogantly lectured Xie Shishi.
And, he even lectured Zhou Yu along with her!
Zhou Yu stared at the overturned medicine bowl, his eyes narrowing slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
Although this bowl of medicine wasn't personally brewed by Zhou Yu.
The ingredients were prepared by him!
Overturning medicine prepared by a doctor was already a great disrespect.
However, this was Xie family's internal problem.
So, even though Zhou Yu was displeased, he didn't intervene. He stood quietly aside, waiting for Xie Shishi to resolve it herself.
"Second Uncle, if you have nothing else, please don't interfere."
Xie Shishi's expression indeed turned cold.
She respected this Second Uncle due to the order of seniority.
But this did not mean Xie Shishi had no opinions about him!
To put it bluntly.
This Second Uncle had always been unreliable. He had never contributed to the Xie family.
Instead, he had left behind quite a few messes.
Xie Shishi, in all honesty, disliked him intensely!
"Oh, watch your tone!"
Second Uncle was angered. He immediately walked over and raised his hand, intending to slap Xie Shishi.
At this moment, Zhou Yu, who was standing beside Xie Shishi, moved.
He slightly raised his hand and gripped Second Uncle's wrist.
Then, he looked at Second Uncle with ice-cold eyes, as if looking at a dead man.
This made Second Uncle shiver and step back two paces.
"I'll settle your affairs with you later. You have no right to interfere in the Xie family's matters!"
Xie Second Uncle said righteously.
Seeing this, Xie Shishi immediately pulled Zhou Yu and said with her head held high, "Second Uncle, this is the divine doctor my brother pulled strings to invite. My matters are his matters!"
"Shishi, you are too young and naive. It's understandable to be fooled by a con artist."
"Listen to Second Uncle, and quickly kick this person out."
"So that your grandfather's health doesn't worsen."
Xie Second Uncle continued.
Zhou Yu listened to their conversation, feeling somewhat speechless.
Especially Xie Shishi.
What did she mean by "her matters are his matters"?
Did it mean he came to treat an illness and became a bodyguard!
He glanced at the time.
Zhou Yu felt he couldn't delay any longer.
Old Master Xie needed to take medicine every two hours.
Since the medicine was overturned this time, the next dose needed to be brewed quickly.
Otherwise, if there were two consecutive breaks, the medicinal effect would be greatly reduced!
Therefore, Zhou Yu stepped forward and said, "You keep calling me a con artist, but I'd like to ask, what evidence do you have?"
Zhou Yu had been unhappy about this term for a long time!
This Xie Second Uncle was truly a bizarre individual!
Xie Second Uncle chuckled, "Just based on your age, do you need any evidence?"
"You can only deceive Shishi!"
"Today, no matter what, I won't let you harm my father!"
After speaking, Xie Second Uncle, as if to demonstrate his resolve, directly blocked the sickbed.
As long as he didn't move,
Even if the medicine was brewed later, it couldn't be given to Old Master Xie!
It seemed Xie Second Uncle had failed with soft tactics and decided to resort to force!
Zhou Yu glanced at Xie Shishi, saying nothing.
Old Master Xie was not his relative. If it weren't for Yun Yanlan, Zhou Yu would absolutely not have come.
So, Xie Second Uncle's appearance was not Zhou Yu's concern.
Seeing this, Xie Shishi was also extremely anxious.
In fact, she understood everything in her heart!
Unlike Xie Yu's distrust of Zhou Yu,
Xie Shishi felt a sense of complete trust the moment she saw Zhou Yu.
Her intuition told her that Zhou Yu was definitely the one who could save Old Master Xie.
This was why Xie Shishi had gone to great lengths to explain to Zhou Yu, and why she had followed Zhou Yu's instructions to brew the medicine.
If Xie Second Uncle managed to anger Zhou Yu away...
Xie Shishi bit her lower lip and said, "Second Uncle, don't think I don't know what you're up to!"
"Perhaps the person in the entire Xie family who least wishes for Grandpa to wake up is you!"
Xie Second Uncle had not expected Xie Shishi to say something like this.
His eyes widened, his face filled with shock, displaying an overly startled reaction. "Shishi, what are you talking about?"
Once certain words were spoken, there was no holding back.
Xie Shishi seemed to have broken free from her shackles.
She spoke one sentence after another.
"I said, the reason you don't want Divine Doctor Zhou to treat Grandpa is definitely because you're afraid Grandpa will wake up, right?"
"Divine Doctor Zhou said that Grandpa's condition was definitely caused by someone harming him."
"Could it be you, Second Uncle?"
Xie Shishi's words were like a bolt from the blue, completely stunning Xie Second Uncle.
For a long time, he couldn't speak.
After a while.
Xie Second Uncle gritted his teeth and said, "Shishi, don't be deceived by outsiders. This is your grandfather, but he is also my father!"
Old Master Xie had a total of three sons and one daughter.
The third son was kidnapped and killed by enemies when he was young.
Therefore, apart from the head of the Xie family, there were only two sons left, Xie Second Uncle being one of them.
Logically speaking.
The Xie family, with fewer descendants than other families, should be very united.
In reality.
The head of the Xie family and Xie Second Uncle were almost at loggerheads!
"Second Uncle, do you truly regard Grandpa as your father?"
Xie Shishi's sharp gaze sent a shiver down Xie Second Uncle's spine.
Xie Second Uncle was now both angry and anxious!
He couldn't argue with Xie Shishi, and he couldn't use his elder's authority to discipline her because Zhou Yu was nearby.
Who knew where Zhou Yu got his strength from? After his hand was grabbed, Xie Second Uncle felt completely unable to move!
Just as Xie Second Uncle was about to go mad with anger.
"Shishi, Second Uncle, what are you doing?"
Just then, Xie Yu, still wearing his burgundy suit, appeared at the doorway.
He was holding a document bag in his hand.
It seemed he had rushed back directly from the company!
Seeing Xie Yu return, Xie Shishi's eyes lit up.
She quickly ran over and complained to Xie Yu, "Brother, Second Uncle said that the Divine Doctor Zhou you invited is a con artist, and he even overturned Grandpa's medicine!"
After saying that, Xie Shishi stared at Xie Second Uncle again. "In my opinion, Second Uncle definitely doesn't want Grandpa to get better!"
When facing Xie Shishi, Xie Second Uncle could still use his elder's authority to suppress her.
But when it came to Xie Yu, Xie Second Uncle dared not.
Over the years, as Old Master Xie's health deteriorated,
Both Old Master Xie and the head of the Xie family had intended for Xie Yu to handle family affairs.
Therefore, Xie Yu held significant status within the family!
Upon hearing Xie Shishi's words, Xie Second Uncle immediately said, "Xie Yu, Shishi has been deceived by this so-called divine doctor. You mustn't believe him easily."
"This brat dares to call himself a divine doctor, it's utterly ridiculous!"
