Chapter 995: Xiao Jincheng's Hope
Staring intently at the clock, Xiao Jincheng asked, "So, with your abilities, how long can you keep me alive?"
"I'm just a doctor. I don't have the ability to predict someone's life or death. But if you take good care of yourself, you can live another ten or eight years."
bang-
This time, it was Lilith who dropped the fork in her hand.
If I wait for Grandpa to live another ten or eight years, what will I get? This bastard is here to mess things up!
Although she wanted to chase Da Zhong away immediately, Lilith was very excited. She turned to look at Xiao Jincheng and said excitedly, "Grandpa, that's great! The previous doctor said your life was in danger at any time. It turns out those doctors were just quacks. There's hope for you now!"
Seeing Lilith's happy expression, Da Zhong showed a look of disdain and said, "Why are you making such a fuss? This gentleman has a good foundation. If my master were here, he might be able to cure it completely!"
Although Xiao Jincheng looked indifferent, he was also very excited. If he could live another fifteen years, then he would die without regrets! By then, Xuan'er would have grown up. Through his own training, he would definitely be able to independently control the Xiao family and carry it forward!
Lilith was already in a bad mood, and after being provoked by Da Zhong, she really wanted to kill him immediately!
But there was no other way. Xiao Jincheng was still sitting next to her, so Lilith could only be patient and ask, "Can you please ask your master to come and treat my grandfather?"
Lilith felt that she had humbled herself and spoke very humbly.
But Da Zhong still refused to buy it. He said, "My master is very busy and is not often in the clinic. You need to make an appointment to see him."
This bastard...
Lilith was almost vomiting blood after being repeatedly humiliated by Da Zhong. She wondered who on earth Zhang Kaifeng had found. How could she cooperate with such a person?
Mr. Philip sat next to him, looked at Da Zhong sincerely, and said, "Zhong, I hope you can ask your master to help Xiao with his medical treatment."
"Since Mr. Philip has spoken, I will definitely give it a try. But my master has a very strange temper, and I'm not sure if I can convince him."
Xiao Jincheng had been listening quietly to Da Zhong's words. For some reason, something suddenly occurred to him, and he asked, "I don't know how I should address you, Master?"
"Oh, my master's name is..."
"Master, master!"
Just when they were talking about the critical moment, Lao Fang suddenly rushed out, his face pale, and without caring whether it would anger Xiao Jincheng, he stood at the door and shouted loudly.
Seeing this, the bodyguard at the door stepped forward and tried to drag Lao Fang away. However, Lao Fang's shouting had already attracted Mr. Philip's attention. He turned his head, looked at the old man, and asked, "Xiao, is that person looking for you?"
Looking at Lao Fang unhappily, Xiao Jincheng frowned and said loudly, "Don't you know there are guests here? You're still shouting and yelling. How disrespectful!"
Sweat was already oozing from Lao Fang's forehead, and his knees were shaking, but he was unconscious. He stared straight at Xiao Jincheng and pleaded bitterly, "Master, Xuan'er is unconscious!"
Frowning even deeper, Xiao Jincheng questioned, "Didn't you let Join see it? Why is it still like this?"
The old man shook his head like a rattle and said, "I don't know. After the injection, Xuan'er fell asleep. I thought it was the effect of the medicine, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But he slept for almost six hours. I wanted to wake him up to eat, but I couldn't wake him up! And his body was cold. If he wasn't still breathing, I would even think, I would think..."
Lao Fang didn't dare to say anything more, nor did he dare to look up at Xiao Jincheng. He knew that running in so rashly would anger him, but Lao Fang really had no other choice. He no longer believed in join, and the master didn't know how long he would have to stay with the guests, so he could only take a risky move.
Xiao Jincheng had originally thought Xuan'er was just having a minor illness and hadn't taken it seriously. But after hearing what Lao Fang said, he became anxious. However, because Philip and his wife were present, he couldn't get angry.
Just as Xiao Jincheng was about to say something, Da Zhong suddenly interrupted them and said, "Wait a minute! Although I think it's rude to interrupt like this, I still want to ask, were you talking about Xuan'er just now?"
Looking at the strange young man, Lao Fang nodded in a daze and said, "Yes."
Hearing this, Da Zhong became excited and asked again, "Is he a little Chinese boy? About five or six years old?"
"Yes."
"Great! I didn't expect to meet Xuan'er here!" Da Zhong pounded his palms, looked at Mr. Philip beside him, and said, "He should be the little boy who accompanied his mother to see a doctor in our clinic! It's just..."
Turning his head to look at Xiao Jincheng again, Da Zhong said with a serious expression, "I heard from that old man just now that Xuan'er is sick. Can I help him?"
Xiao Jincheng was more than happy to accept such a request, but he still had a stern face and seemed to hesitate for a moment before nodding.
After getting the other party's permission, Da Zhong hurriedly stood up and looked at Philip and his wife beside him, saying, "Sorry, I have to go see the child first and come back later."
"Okay, seeing a doctor is important, you don't have to worry."
Da Zhong smiled gratefully, then followed Lao Fang and hurried to Xuan'er's room.
Looking coldly at everything happening before her eyes, Lilith sneered in her heart.
What a brilliant plan! The whole thing worked so well together! I bet Da Zhong will use Grandpa's medical treatment as an excuse to stay at the Xiao family, right? Zhang Kaifeng, you're truly a genius. You've even thought of such a plan! But this is my territory after all. Even if you come up with all sorts of tricks, don't even think about letting that bastard live in peace!
After this disturbance, Mr. and Mrs. Philip lost their mood for dinner, especially Mr. Philip. He looked at Xiao Jincheng and asked, "Who is the Xuan'er they just mentioned?"
"Oh, he's my great-great-grandson."
"What? You already have a great-great-grandson?" Philip said in shock. "When did this happen? I didn't even know about it."
"Actually, I just found out about this," Xiao Jincheng said, his face suddenly becoming very serious. "My relationship with my grandson isn't great, as you all probably know. That's why he didn't tell me when he had a child. It wasn't until Mingyang fell ill that I indirectly heard about Xuan'er. I didn't want him to be left out, so I brought him back. But the child hasn't adapted to life here and is always at odds with me."
"Children are always a little rebellious." Mr. Philip seemed very interested in Xuan'er and said, "It's a pity that he is sick, otherwise I really want to see that child."
