Chapter 1055: Chapter 1115:
"Alright, I understand. Then I’ll have to trouble you with this next. I’ll pay you for your help." Mr. Lu said a few words and then slipped back into a deep sleep again.
Lu Juan burst into anxious tears and looked at Qiao Qiqi. "As long as you can save my dad, I’ll give you all my money."
"That won’t be necessary." Qiao Qiqi walked over and had the butler and Lu Juan help prop the old man up properly. Then she started treating Mr. Lu with acupuncture to detoxify him.
Of course, bloodletting was indispensable as well. Maybe because the other party was cautious and used a small dose, Mr. Lu managed to cling to life. But in fact, his condition was already extremely critical.
If she had come one step later, not even a god could have saved him.
She guessed Lu Mochen definitely intended to increase the amount of poison now so that Mr. Lu would die of illness.
After finishing the treatment for Mr. Lu, his condition improved a lot, but this matter still couldn’t be made public. So Qiao Qiqi told Lu Juan to put makeup on Mr. Lu every day, so he would look like he could drop dead at any moment.
Lu Juan understood what Qiao Qiqi meant and nodded in agreement.
Mr. Lu woke up once more, said a few words to Qiao Qiqi, and then fell asleep again.
Qiao Qiqi warned the two of them that even Mr. Lu’s clothes had to be checked with the ring before putting them on him, because poison placed on clothing could also be lethal.
After hearing this, the two really didn’t dare relax even a bit. After Qiao Qiqi left, they went everywhere testing with the ring. In the end, the butler actually found poison on Mr. Lu’s underclothes.
He was so furious he nearly exploded on the spot, but remembering Qiao Qiqi’s words, he didn’t say anything. He quietly threw those clothes away and replaced them with an identical set.
...
By the time Qiao Qiqi got back to the Family, the sky was already light. Qiao Jiezhe saw her coming in from outside early in the morning and asked, "Little sis, where did you go?"
"Morning exercise. I’m skipping breakfast, I’m going to sleep. Don’t let anyone disturb me." The very first thing Qiao Qiqi did upon returning was of course to catch up on sleep.
She definitely didn’t want to age before her time, so making up for lost sleep was extremely important.
"Okay. I’m going to work with Mi Huan today; make sure you eat properly at home." Qiao Jiezhe chased after her, nagging.
"Got it." Qiao Qiqi waved her hand and went to bed.
...
After Lu Mochen returned to the Lu Family, Father Lu and Mrs. Lu were both waiting for Him; the two of them stared at Him, nerves stretched tight.
"How’s that old bastard doing now?" When Lu Mochen mentioned his own grandfather, there wasn’t a hint of warmth in his eyes.
"He wakes up less and less, and he’s constantly falling asleep. I’m afraid he won’t last much longer." Father Lu swallowed and spoke. He actually regretted listening to his son a little. This was patricide—after death he’d be going straight to Hell. But for his son’s sake, he could only go through with it.
"Then hurry up and let him die." Lu Mochen said coldly.
"Son, are you sure this will really work?" Father Lu said anxiously.
"Relax. Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle will die along with that old bastard. By then, the Lu Family will be ours." Lu Mochen had already made all the arrangements: the three old men of the Lu Family would die together.
At that point, only his dad would be left in the Lu Family, and the Lu Family would all be his.
Once he cured his body and took control of the Lu Family, what kind of woman would he not be able to have?
Even Qiao Qiqi wasn’t out of reach for Him!
Father Lu was still hesitating, and Mrs. Lu, furious, smacked him. "You better think this through—who’s really Family with you? That old man of yours, his heart’s already tilted clear over to your armpit. Our Family’s inheritance rights have been stripped away! You planning to rely on your eldest and second brothers to survive in the future?"
