Chapter 149 - 149 149 It Really Doesnt Seem Simple Now
?Chapter 149: Chapter 149: It Really Doesn’t Seem Simple Now! Chapter 149: Chapter 149: It Really Doesn’t Seem Simple Now! Mr. Huo had heard his son complaining on the phone a few days ago.
He said that the Liu Family girl wanted to marry into their Huo Family, and by logic, since she had such intentions, she shouldn’t have suddenly resorted to poisoning.
Hearing him mention this, Luo Ning and Lu Xun exchanged a look, both guessing the likely reason.
So, Lu Xun recounted the events of the previous day.
“I suspect that there is someone from that woman’s side around Huo Ye, so he had people gather evidence to have her imprisoned, and she knew about it immediately.”
“Then she bribed the Huo Family’s nanny to steal the talisman from Huo Ye, which would make it impossible to suppress his love curse and the child poison in his body.”
He continued sternly, “As long as Huo Ye suddenly died, there would be no way to investigate the things she had done and then send her to prison.”
That woman’s so-called love for Huo Ye was too cheap and disgusting.
Truly befitting a daughter of the Liu Family, her actions were just as vile and malicious as the Liu Family’s.
Luo Ning also added, “She knew that Huo Ye was going to investigate her and felt that Huo Ye had wronged her first, so she decided to strike first.”
“Since she couldn’t have Huo Ye, then let him die.”
She guessed that’s what the woman was thinking.
No wonder the love curse on Huo Ye was so severe; it turned out that the woman had tampered with it long ago.
Old Sir Huo and the people of the Huo Family were now seething with rage; their Huo Ye was completely an innocent victim.
They were even more shocked to discover that the car accident Huo Ye had in his teens was also caused by a woman from the Liu Family.
She had not only committed so many crimes against other innocent girls but now had personally attempted to poison Huo Ye as well. She was too malicious to be forgiven.
However, Old Sir Huo and the others were more concerned about Huo Ye’s health at the moment.
“Miss Luo, what does Huo Ye need to take afterward, so as not to shorten his lifespan?”
Luo Ning thought for a moment and said, “I will refine a type of Qi Nourishing Pills, which are very useful for replenishing Qi and blood. Seeing as he’s a childhood friend of Mr. Lu, I will send him a few once they’re made.”
Upon hearing this, the Huo Family members all sighed in relief silently.
Before this, they might have been skeptical, but having now witnessed Luo Ning’s skills, they believed her.
“That would be much appreciated.”
“If you ever need anything in the future, you can come to the Huo Family to find me.”
Old Sir Huo didn’t offer any words of repayment. People like him kept their gratitude in their hearts and then acted upon it.
By inviting Luo Ning to come to the Huo Family if she needed anything, he made a significant promise, indicating that the Huo Family owed her a debt of gratitude.
If outsiders knew about this, they would surely be envious. To have such a man owe a favor was extremely difficult.
Luo Ning smiled: “Alright!”
It was only right for the Huo Family to owe her a favor, as she had saved Huo Ye. She wouldn’t falsely refuse out of pretense.
“When will Xiao Ye likely wake up?” Old Sir Huo asked with concern.
Luo Ning turned around, pressed on a few acupoints on Huo Ye’s body, and then fed him a Health Care Pill.
“He’ll wake up very soon.”
Indeed, just a moment after she spoke, the originally pale-faced Huo Ye’s complexion gradually regained its rosiness, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Upon witnessing this scene, the Huo Family members were all startled.
They had truly seen Luo Ning’s methods firsthand and were still digesting it. It was miraculous.
A subtle gleam appeared in Old Sir Huo’s eyes; he had not expected Luo Ning to be so formidable.
At the same time, he guessed that the Pills she had fed his grandson must also be extraordinary, but now wasn’t a good time to inquire about them.
They naturally wanted to continue good relations with a Feng Shui Master capable of such mysterious and profound skills.
He couldn’t help but feel envious of Mr. Lu—eight or nine out of ten times, this remarkable young lady would be a boon to the Lu Family.
But it was just a bit of envy, and he didn’t harbor any other thoughts.
The other elderly gentlemen who had come along were now stunned by Luo Ning’s methods. Their expressions as they looked at her and their internal judgments and regard for her had all changed.
What they had originally thought of as just an ordinary young girl that a young man from the Lu Family took a fancy to now seemed to be anything but simple!
Indeed, one should never judge a book by its cover, nor measure the sea with a bushel. Youth does not mean incompetence.
It seems that young Mister Lu truly has an eye for talent.
After Huo Ye woke up, he looked around at his surroundings and the many people standing there, seemingly confused.
“What happened to me?” he asked in a hoarse voice.
Lu Xun stepped forward and truthfully explained the details of his encounter with the poisonous insect.
Huo Ye’s face changed, “No wonder I kept dreaming of that crazy woman after I passed out.”
“She kept saying I was too heartless.”
“She loved me so much, why would I treat her like that? She kept accusing me of letting her down, betraying her.”
“Then she cried even more, saying it was all my fault.”
Huo Ye, being intelligent, deduced, “So, this wasn’t a dream, but the influence of that Gu Worm?”
Thinking back to the woman’s deranged appearance in his dream gave him goosebumps all over.
Luo Ning said, “Yes, this is her using the Gu Worm to project dreams into your mind.”
Huo Ye spoke with a face full of disgust, “Well, I do thank her for that. She almost made me sick to my stomach.”
Luo Ning also found the actions of that woman from the Liu Family revolting.
She claimed to love Huo Ye so much, yet in the end, she loved herself even more.
“Rest well, I will take my leave now.”
The matter had been settled for now, leaving it with the Huo Family to look after.
Now, with this incident involving the Huo Family, it signified that the Liu Family was truly heading for complete ruin.
This time, Bo Xiangxiang’s luck would not be able to save the Liu Family from their retribution, and Liu Shaoxian, as the heir to the Liu Family, was doomed.
On the flip side, without Liu Shaoxian’s male protagonist’s luck to back her, Bo Xiangxiang’s female protagonist’s aura would also be significantly weakened.
The Huo Family indeed had urgent matters to attend to, like cleaning up the mess, including identifying the people close to Huo Ye who had leaked his personal issues and handling the household staff.
Of course, they would not let the Liu Family off easily.
Lu Xun also said to Huo Ye, “I should be going too. Get some rest, and we’ll be in touch later.”
Huo Ye nodded, “All right, I owe Master Luo a huge debt of gratitude for today. I’ll definitely treat you all to dinner once I’m discharged.”
He was sure to remember this life-saving grace.
He suddenly recalled another concern, “Master Luo, my talisman was stolen by the nanny at home. Could you give me another one?”
Luo Ning replied, “Your love curse has been resolved, and you won’t need such a talisman anymore. There won’t be any more life-threatening dangers, don’t worry.”
“Then, could you give me some other kind of talisman?” Without a talisman, he suddenly felt insecure.
Seeing him like this, Luo Ning was somewhat amused but still took a talisman out of her bag and handed it to him.
“This is a peace charm, make sure to take good care of it this time.”
Huo Ye took the talisman and clenched it tightly in his hand, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to keep it safe this time.”
Whether it was a placebo effect or Luo Ning’s talisman was just that potent, the moment he received the talisman, he felt a great sense of relief wash over him.
He insisted, “In a couple of days, make sure you and Old Lu come to my company to pick out some things!”
Choosing goods was equivalent to receiving a reward, and if it wasn’t enough, he was willing to pay extra.
Luo Ning knew Huo Ye wouldn’t flake out and nodded with a smile, “Okay!”
Then Lu Xun escorted Luo Ning away, and the other elderly gentlemen followed, leaving the Huo Family to spring into action.
Lu Xun drove Luo Ning to her doorstep. Before even getting out of the car, both of their phones began to ring one after another.
The broadcast schedule for the next episode of the show was released, prompting them to prepare for the start in three days’ time.
