Ying Jiuming, with a look of disdain, teased, “Who would have thought! The noblewoman has been reduced to a shrew.”
“If they don’t want to leave, then don’t let them!”
“What?” Ying Jiuming thought he had misheard, “Not let them leave? You don’t mean to detain them, right?”
“What’s wrong? Not possible?” Huo Beijiang raised an eyebrow, casually flicking off ash from his cigarette, “Just follow the strictest regulations. If anything happens, I’ll back you up.”
“Fine, your word is law.” Ying Jiuming had a rough idea of the plan, and cautiously added, “But Huo Jinlan, she is your sister.”
Huo Beijiang tilted his head in response, “Does she seem like it now?”
Taken aback by the question, Ying Jiuming tactfully answered, “No, if you still consider her as your sister, I’d have to say you’re blind.”
“If you dare to push my granny around, better be prepared for the consequences.” Huo Beijiang stubbed out his cigarette in the nearby trash can before heading back into the hospital.
Ying Jiuming stared in surprise.
What?
Granny Huo was pushed over by Huo Jinlan? No way. How is that possible? Did he mishear something?

In the middle of the night, Nan Fei came down with a high fever. The doctor diagnosed it as pneumonia, and urgently administered an IV after a skin test. Huo Beijiang remained in the room throughout, his oppressive mood sending chills down everyone’s spine.
The nurse in charge of administering the IV was still green behind the ears. Intimidated by him, she failed to locate Nan Fei’s vein after several attempts, causing unsightly black and blue marks on her hand in the process.
This immediately angered Huo Beijiang. Seeing the feeble and pale woman lying on the hospital bed, his heart wrenched.
“Stop.” His voice was soft but incredibly harsh, causing the tears to well up in the nurse’s eyes.
“I-I’m sorry! I’ll do it again…”
“You want to try again?” Huo Beijiang snapped back, “Get me the head nurse.”
“The head nurse is not here, it’s not her shift today.” It was usually the recent graduates who had to take on night shifts.
“I, I’ll go get my mentor.” The nurse scurried off and woke up a sleeping nurse in the duty room. “Minmin, help me, the patient in room 021 is really tough to handle.”
Jiang Minmin, just woken from her slumber, recalled upon hearing ‘room 021’ and rubbed her eyes. Most of her sleepiness vanished instantly.
“This sounds familiar.” After thinking for a moment, realization dawned on her. She smiled at the nurse and said, “Don’t worry, the one in the room is my cousin from my Third Uncle’s side, I’ll handle it.”
Jiang Minmin had been on vacation and had just returned home. Upon hearing about the situation in her Third Uncle’s house, her father had instructed her to take good care of her cousin. She had even fought with her mother over this.
She smoothed a finger over the nurse’s uniform, a mysterious smile appearing on her face. After all, the rift between her family and her Third Uncle’s family had never ceased since they were children.
“Your cousin?”
“How? Not alike?”

The nurse looked at Jiang Minmin’s upturned eyes, then thought about the young girl lying in the hospital bed and the man guarding her. She shook her head in confusion, “It’s not that they don’t look alike, it’s just totally different from what you described before.”
Jiang Minmin had previously talked about how utterly harsh and mean her Third Uncle’s family was and how they always took advantage of their family.
But the current situation defied her previous description.
“How is it different?”
The nurse hesitated, not daring to say anything for fear of upsetting someone. She quickly changed the subject, “They are quite intimidating, come with me quickly, let’s go.”
[Goodnight, loves. This is the update for the 18th! The update schedule is roughly four chapters a day. Also, just to clarify, Zhuanzhuan is not reborn, nor did she time-travel, and certainly not from ancient to modern times. You guys sure have wild imaginations, haha…]
