Chapter 229: The Proposal

"Did you do this?"

The old man's voice was far from the kind tone he had just used.

"What are you referring to?"

Xia Sanghuan looked at him without the slightest bit of evasion.

He stared into her eyes and was silent for a moment.

"The car accident that Xiao Kai had, is it really none of your business?"

The girl smiled.

"Let's not even mention that I had just gotten home not long before Fourth Brother had the accident.

Moreover, I'm a child who has been living outside for eighteen years.

I don't even have enough time to curry favor with my older brothers and sisters. How could I be so stupid as to harm him?"

She wasn't Xia Anying.

She silently scoffed in her heart.

"Dad, I've already looked into Xiao Kai's accident.

It has nothing to do with anyone else. It's just Xiao Kai's own problem."

Afraid that the old man would pin the blame on his little daughter, Fu Zeming quickly said.

Moreover, all the other families knew that it was pointless to target Fu Kai. Instead of going through so much trouble to harm him, it would be better to trip up the Fu family in the business world.

Everyone had this thought, but no one said it out loud.

As soon as Fu Kai heard his father's words, he immediately got unhappy.

"What do you mean it's my problem? It was clearly those stupid idiots..."

He shouted, obviously on a different wavelength from the others.

Xia Sanghuan simply ignored him and straightforwardly continued talking to the old man.

"I'm a medical student.

Although I'm not that proficient in medicine, I do know a bit."

She said this without batting an eye, and Fu Youqing almost choked on his tea.

So knowing a bit meant having been researching cases that no one had been able to solve with the world's top professors.

"Before when I was living on Qingshan Slope, I learned some folk remedies from the local old Chinese doctor.

Maybe they'll be useful for Fourth Brother's leg."

"Maybe?"

The old man's face darkened.

"I've listened to your nonsense for so long, and it's not for this 'maybe' of yours."

"Grandpa, don't be in a hurry."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "I can also help with your lumbar spine problem and Grandma's respiratory inflammation."

"Who told you?"

Facing the old man's increasingly serious face, she wasn't the least bit panicked.

"Zeming, was it you who said it?"

He turned his head and looked at his son.

"I figured it out myself."

She admitted generously.

"The bargaining chip I'm offering is..."

"I can treat Fourth Brother's leg.

And your and Grandma's illnesses."

Her bright eyes sparkled with a sly light.

"And the request I'm making of you is.

From now on, don't force Dad anymore, and stop making things difficult for Big Brother."

The old man frowned. "What if I say no?"

"Then Fourth Brother will just have to keep sitting in the wheelchair."

She shrugged as if helpless.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Yes, I am threatening you."

Putting away that little girl look, Xia Sanghuan suddenly became serious.

"Grandpa, this is a good deal.

We can each get what we want. You'd better think it over."

After saying that, she turned around and wanted to leave.

After all, she hadn't finished her meal yet, and now with all this commotion, she was hungry again.

"I agree."

He suddenly shouted from behind.

"Old man!"

The old lady stood up, looking very unhappy.

"What's wrong with you, girl? You're part of our Fu family!

Isn't it only natural for you to treat your Fourth Brother's leg? How can you make conditions with your grandpa!"

"But Grandma..."

The girl replied without hesitation.

"Judging from your attitude right now, it seems that you don't regard me as a child of the Fu family at all."

Her words immediately silenced the old lady.

"Old woman, don't interfere in this matter."

The old man patted the old lady's hand.

"What do you mean don't interfere? Look at her. She's just about to tear the roof off!"

"Compared to your grandson, I'm still far behind."

The girl continued to retort without hesitation.

Fu Kai, who was sitting on the side and got accidentally hit, opened his mouth. Before he could even say a word, he was glared at by Xia Sanghuan.

He reluctantly closed his mouth and continued to be a silent onlooker.

The old lady covered her chest, looking a bit overwhelmed.

"Alright, Huanhuan, say less to Grandma."

Fu Moning was afraid that the old lady would really get angry and something bad would happen to her, so she quickly advised.

The girl obediently nodded at her sister, then walked back to her side and sat down next to her.

Then, as if nothing had happened, she picked up the unfinished meal and started eating.

Second Sister smiled helplessly at her and could only silently sigh at her sister's carefree nature.

Seeing that she didn't seem to want to say anything more, the two elders also fell silent.

If they continued to entangle with this little girl, they might really end up with the reputation of "being disrespectful in old age".

The dinner passed in such a noisy way. Before leaving, the girl was stopped by the old man.

"When can you treat Xiao Kai's leg?"

"Tomorrow."

She stood on the stairs, turned her head and said.

The old man sighed, waved his hand and let her go.

In his most of his life, he had never met a child as difficult to deal with as Xia Sanghuan.

Most people respected him, and the family members always obeyed his orders.

Only this little girl seemed to be afraid of nothing, which made him not know what to do with her.

If he were to scold her, in the end, he would only end up scolding himself.

The girl returned to her room and started preparing for tomorrow's treatment.

Fortunately, she had brought her box of silver needles with her.

She took out the medicine box from the suitcase and started counting the tools.

Not long after, there was a knock on her door.

She opened the door and saw Fu Lingshi standing outside.

"What's wrong, Big Brother?"

Seeing the hesitant look on his face, she asked in confusion.

"Come in and talk if you have something to say."

She stepped aside to make way for her big brother.

Fu Lingshi walked in as she said.

After she closed the door, he finally opened his mouth and asked.

"Huanhuan, you had such an unpleasant argument with Grandpa tonight.

Was it because of me?"

There was a bit of guilt on his face.

But just by looking at his expression, the girl could tell what he was thinking.

"Of course." She admitted generously.

"I can't stand them always bullying you.

You've made the greatest contribution to the company. Why should you give your position to that good-for-nothing waste?"

Fu Lingshi quickly reached out his hand and shushed her.

"Huanhuan, Fu Kai is at least your Fourth Brother.

You can't talk about him like that."

Moreover...

As he was talking, he couldn't help but look a bit disappointed.

"I'm just an adopted son after all.

In the end, the position of the head of the Fu family will still be passed on to Fu Kai.

It's only right for me to assist him."

The girl sighed helplessly.

"Why? Are you really willing to give away the results of your years of hard work to others?"
