“Auntie, I…” Fang Ran immediately blinked her large eyes at Chen Man, a glint of tears already in her eyes.

Although she looked so wronged on the surface, Fang Ran hated Mo Zhu to the core!

What right did Mo Zhu have to enjoy Chen Man’s caring attitude towards her when Chen Man treated herself like this?

She’s just a country bumpkin from the countryside. Not only was she inferior to her in terms of her looks, she was also inferior to her in her grades. What kind of tricks did this b*tch use to seduce Huo Xuan? Not only did she manage to seduce Huo Xuan, but even Madam Huo favored her highly!

As she thought so, Fang Ran could not help but want to marry into the Huo family on behalf of Mo Zhu! If she had not given up on her own accord, the person who had everything now would not have been Mo Zhu, but her!

She refused to believe that there was really someone in the world who would take a liking to a grain of sand while having a pearl in front of them!

As long as she calmed down and made an effort, there would come a day when her efforts would be seen by the entire Huo family. At that time, she could have anything she wanted. When that day comes, she would definitely teach this little b*tch, Mo Zhu, a lesson!

“Oh, Xu Huan is here too. Just in time. You haven’t tried Auntie’s cooking in a long time, have you? Stay here tonight and eat your fill!”

Chen Man didn’t even look at Fang Ran. When she noticed Xu Huan entering the house behind Huo Xuan, she greeted him enthusiastically.

Xu Huan was also a smart person. He immediately understood Chen Man’s differential treatment towards Fang Ran and Mo Zhu. He immediately smiled and said, “Sure, Auntie Man. I haven’t eaten your cooking in a long time. I didn’t expect such a coincidence today.”

Mo Zhu, who was sitting on the sofa and did not speak again, felt a hint of surprise and emotion.

She was already used to facing all the malice in the world alone. Be it from her family or society, she had never felt the existence of the word warmth other than from her grandmother.

However, it was different today. Chen Man’s words were protective of her in every way. Huo Xuan knew that she had provoked the Du family, but he was willing to stand in front of her and protect her in the Huo family’s name.

All along, she had felt that Chen Man’s heart and sincerity was real. Even if it was just a small detail, it still moved her.

Mo Zhu lowered her eyes and suppressed the unknown bitterness that welled up in her heart.

Seeing the happy scene in front of her, Fang Ran could no longer pretend to be calm. She stomped her feet hard, turned around, and ran straight back to the room.

The meal was very harmonious, and only Mo Zhu looked like she had a lot on her mind.

The news she had received last night had a huge impact on her. No matter who it was, it had to have something to do with the Huo family. She couldn’t even imagine how she would face Huo Xuan if Huo Xuan was really the one who did this. How would she face Chen Man and Xu Huan, who had always been sincere and nice to her?

As her appetite wasn’t good, Mo Zhu ate very little. When she couldn’t eat anymore, she took out her phone and sent a message to Huo Xuan under the dining table.

“Come to my room in a while.”

After sending the message, Mo Zhu greeted Chen Man politely and left the dining room to return to her room.

She planned to give Huo Xuan one last acupuncture treatment tonight. Although she had already controlled it last time, she still had to do her part as a doctor in order to make his condition better.

In fact, regarding the “Heart-Devouring Poison” in Huo Xuan’s body, just the acupuncture treatment alone wasn’t enough to cure all of the illnesses. After that, he would have to eat many rare herbs as supplementary treatment.

However, Mo Zhu’s heart was wavering right now. If Huo Xuan was really the mastermind behind that incident, she definitely couldn’t soften and give in to remove the poison from the man’s body. She had to think about this matter at length.

When Huo Xuan arrived at Mo Zhu’s room, half an hour had already passed.

The man knocked on the door politely. After Mo Zhu opened it, he did not go in immediately. Instead, he leaned against the door and looked at her thoughtfully.

The girl did not know why he was staring at her. “Come in. Why are you looking at me like that?”

When Huo Xuan heard this, he looked up and teased, “You called me over so late at night, could it be…?”

Before she finished speaking, Mo Zhu stopped the man’s thoughts in time. “What are you thinking? I asked you to come here to perform acupuncture on you. Didn’t I tell you last time that the poison was under control? It should be more effective if I do it for you once more.”

Mo Zhu glanced at the man with disdain written all over her face. She did not expect Huo Xuan to be so imaginative.

Rubbing his nose, Huo Xuan felt a little awkward. “Oh, then I’ll ask Mo Jiu to send the needles over.”

After saying that, the two of them sat quietly. No one took the initiative to speak. Not long later, Mo Jiu hurriedly sent the needle to the door of the room.

The treatment process was still the same, but what was different this time was that Huo Xuan had to lie on Mo Zhu’s bed. After understanding that, the man became more or less distracted.

“Do you want to perform acupuncture on me in my room instead?”

Just as Huo Xuan followed Mo Zhu’s instructions and laid down on the bed, he was drowned by the sweet smell of Mo Zhu. He sat up and suggested sternly.

As a man with a normal physiological and psychological state, although he was indeed poisoned, this did not mean that he had the willpower to lie on Mo Zhu’s bed and complete the acupuncture treatment calmly..
