Chapter 886: 888, Really Smart (Second Update)

Chu Jin looked at Li Xiangzhi with an indifferent gaze before speaking, "What’s wrong with my aunt? Why is she in such a hurry?"

"It’s Xiao Jinzi, something happened to Xiao Jinzi. Jin, I’ve heard that your medical skills are very good, please would you take a look at Xiao Jinzi?" Li Xiangzhi’s face was streaked with tears, looking very sad and anxious.

Li Xiangzhi had long heard that Chu Jin was extremely kind-hearted, and if she personally begged her, crying pathetically, she would definitely agree to her request!

As long as she agreed, then things would be easy to handle!

"I just heard from my mother, who said that she had already asked Dr. Zhang to look at Xiao Jinzi. What happened? Did Dr. Zhang not go?" Chu Jin’s eyes flickered with curiosity.

This Li Xiangzhi was trying every possible means to have me treat Xiao Jinzi; there must be some plot behind it.

As clever as Chu Jin, she certainly wasn’t going to fall for such a trap without a reason.

These medical matters are hard to explain clearly. If Xiao Jinzi indeed encountered some issue through her treatment, wouldn’t that play right into the hands of Li Xiangzhi and her daughter?

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangzhi immediately said, "He did go, but Dr. Zhang insisted that Xiao Jinzi just has a common cold. But I feel that it’s not just a cold, he must have some other illness. So, Jin, please, as your aunt I’m begging you, would you please examine Xiao Jinzi?"

Chu Jin curved her lips into a smile, "A feeling? Aunt, may I ask what you are basing this ’feeling’ on? Or do you think you are more professional than even Dr. Zhang? If you believe that your medical expertise exceeds that of Dr. Zhang’s, you are entirely welcome to treat Xiao Jinzi yourself. My place is neither a hospital nor a clinic. Aunt, it seems you might have come to the wrong place."

This Li Xiangzhi is really amusing, acting so blatantly as if nobody else can see through her.

If it weren’t for the sake of the Mo family’s old madam, Chu Jin wouldn’t be talking so politely with her.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangzhi’s smile stiffened for a moment, but then she quickly returned to normal, "Jin, what are you talking about? I came to you because I see you as family, I tell you these things for that reason. No matter what, you are Xiao Jinzi’s maternal aunt, and I do trust you."

Chu Jin smiled faintly, tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ear before continuing, "Unfortunately, aunt, I am very distrustful of you."

Li Xiangzhi never expected Chu Jin to be so direct and frank with her words!

Distrustful of her?

What did she mean by distrustful?

Could it be that Chu Jin had been suspicious all along?

Chu Jin’s lips curved slightly as she continued, "People should have some self-awareness. When I am regarding you as an elder, you’d better act the part a bit more convincingly and not make a fool of yourself."

With these words, Li Xiangzhi almost lost her footing! Chu Jin’s words were like a series of loud slaps, fiercely striking her face.

She had thought that Chu Jin would be easy to manipulate! But as it turned out, that was not the case at all!

People may not show their abilities openly, but when they get serious, they can kill without a trace!

Seeing that Li Xiangzhi was speechless, Chu Jin lazily shifted her gaze away, her tone casual as she spoke, "Please take my aunt back to rest."

How uninteresting! Truly uninteresting! Previously, Li Xiangzhi’s fighting spirit seemed just a bit stronger than Tong Qiaoqiao’s, but unexpectedly, she couldn’t even compare to Tong Qiaoqiao. Just a few words, and Li Xiangzhi was already overwhelmed...

Being invincible is so lonely...

Li Xiangzhi was taken by servants back to the east wing, her complexion ashen like withered wood through the entire way...

As excited as she had been on her way here, that’s how disappointed she was now...

She never imagined that things would turn out this way...

When Tong Qiaoqiao saw her mother return like this, she was completely stunned and quickly took Li Xiangzhi from the servant, asking anxiously, "Mom, what happened to you? Where is Chu Jin? Why didn’t she come back with you?"

Li Xiangzhi had been so confident when she went out...

To her surprise, she returned in such a swift and defeated manner...

Li Xiangzhi took a deep breath, "Qiaoqiao, we all underestimated Chu Jin, but I will let her know that ’the older the ginger, the spicier it gets!’ " Saying this, a sly and sinister light appeared on Li Xiangzhi’s face.

For glory and wealth, for fine clothes and gourmet food, she was willing to do anything.

The imperial palace, since she had come, she would not leave!

Seeing her mother like this, Tong Qiaoqiao sighed, "Mom, just let it go. If we can’t have it, don’t force it. How could cousin ever fancy someone like me with Chu Jin around?" She felt ashamed of herself in front of Chu Jin, and she couldn’t understand why Li Xiangzhi thought Mo Zhixuan would end up in her bed...

"Let it go? We’ve come this far! How could we give up so easily?" Li Xiangzhi widened her eyes at Tong Qiaoqiao.

"Didn’t aunt say she has already found a house for us outside? Since aunt picked it out, it definitely won’t be bad. Mom, let’s just live out the rest of our lives peacefully," Tong Qiaoqiao said. After so much experience, she had seen the light; Chu Jin was not to be trifled with. It was one thing for her to be repeatedly defeated by Chu Jin, but now even a cunning person like Li Xiangzhi was no match for her. This clearly showed that Chu Jin was not someone to be provoked!

Maybe in Chu Jin’s eyes, she was just a clown, a source of amusement!

Now that the old Madam Mo was willing to take responsibility for them, they shouldn’t be asking for too much...

As long as their future days didn’t involve sleeping rough as before, it would be enough.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangzhi immediately bristled with anger, glaring at Tong Qiaoqiao, "Do you really think that old hag is some kind of saint? What kind of decent place do you think she would prepare for us? It’s probably just a slum! You don’t know yet, but that old hag has also prepared a job for you."

"A job?" Tong Qiaoqiao was slightly taken aback. "What job?"

Li Xiangzhi mocked with a sneer, "What job? I bet you couldn’t even dream of what it is!"

Tong Qiaoqiao was also somewhat displeased. The Mo family had power and influence, so why couldn’t the old Madam Mo give her enough money instead of making her work?

In her life, even in decline, she had never stooped so low as to work for others!

Li Xiangzhi went on to say, "Your dear aunt found you a job as a cashier! How is it she didn’t just send you to sweep the streets?"

"A cashier?" Tong Qiaoqiao stood up immediately, surprised, "How could I possibly do cashier work? That’s what the lower-class people do!" She was a miss born with a silver spoon in her mouth! How could she stoop to such a thing!

She had thought her aunt truly cared for her, but it turned out to be just a facade!

"Exactly! I think that old hag is deliberately humiliating us because your father is no longer here!" Li Xiangzhi’s emotions calmed a bit as she continued, "So, Qiaoqiao, the good life is something we create for ourselves. We cannot be like meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of others!"

Tong Qiaoqiao’s heart, which had been calm, was instantly agitated by Li Xiangzhi’s words.

In the current situation, they really couldn’t just sit and wait for doom! The only way out was to secure Mo Zhixuan!

Tong Qiaoqiao nodded firmly, "Mom, you’re right! I’ll listen to you!"

"That’s good!" Li Xiangzhi showed a look of satisfaction, "Listen to me, tonight..."

Li Xiangzhi spelled out her plan word by word, and by the end, Tong Qiaoqiao’s face also revealed a smug smile, as if they had already seen victory beckoning them.

A moment later, Tong Qiaoqiao looked at Li Xiangzhi, "Mom, do you think this will work?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangzhi smiled and said, "Of course it will work. I got this medicine from ’Beauty of the World’. It’s said that no matter who takes it, they won’t be able to control themselves, even if divine immortals descend to earth, they will be at the mercy of the drug. When the time comes, we just need to add a bit of fragrance, and Mo Zhixuan will be at your mercy, Qiaoqiao. You must seize this opportunity."

As long as Mo Zhixuan couldn’t control himself and slept with Tong Qiaoqiao, the rest would be easy to handle.

The mother and daughter exchanged a smile, both seeing a thick layer of smugness in each other’s eyes.

Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, evening had arrived.

Dinner was delayed because they were waiting for Mo Zhixuan to return and eat together.

It wasn’t until seven thirty that Mo Zhixuan finally came home.

As soon as he entered the house, Bao Bao and Bei Bei hugged his thigh, "Daddy daddy, you finally came back, we missed you so much..."

Mo Zhixuan, as if by magic, pulled out two candies from thin air and kissed the two little ones, smiling, "Daddy missed you too."

Because Chu Jin had a rule that they could only eat two candies a day, one in the morning and the second in the evening, which was when Mo Zhixuan came back, so as soon as it got dark, the two little ones eagerly awaited daddy’s early return...

Looking at the two little ones with their fawning expressions, Chu Jin laughed and said, "I don’t know if they really miss daddy or just want the candy."

The Mo family matriarch also said with a smile, "The two little ones are so smart, knowing how to make people happy."

"I don’t know whom they take after with this personality. Mom, was Mo Zhixuan like this when he was a kid?" Chu Jin turned and looked at the Mo family matriarch.

The Mo family matriarch laughed and said, "Zhixuan was a somber child from a young age, and you couldn’t get a peep out of him, not nearly as likable as Bao Bao and Bei Bei." Children are better off lively, only then does the home feel more like a home.

However, Mo Zhixuan’s condition couldn’t be entirely blamed on him.

Because he was a posthumous child, he had never seen his father, so he matured early.

Only if he was strong enough could he protect the people around him.

But all this, the Mo family matriarch and Mo Zhixuan had never mentioned to Chu Jin, who didn’t know that Mo Zhixuan was a child who had never even seen his father’s face.

After dinner, Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan took Bao Bao and Bei Bei to take baths.

Although the children were only four years old, they already bathed separately—Chu Jin took care of Bei Bei, and Mo Zhixuan was responsible for Bao Bao.

The two had also started sleeping in separate rooms.

Though the children were young, they still needed to have their privacy.

Just after Bao Bao and Bei Bei finished their baths, Li Xiangzhi ran over in a panic, with tears streaking her face, "Zhixuan, there’s something only you can help auntie with, please, you must help your auntie."

Li Xiangzhi’s commotion was so loud that it even alarmed the Mo family matriarch.

"Xiangzhi, what’s the matter? You’re crying and sobbing in front of the children," the irritation flickered through the eyes of the Mo family matriarch.

This kind of scene was definitely inappropriate with the children around, so Chu Jin took Bao Bao and Bei Bei to their respective bedrooms.

Although the children now had separate rooms, the rooms were interconnected. There was even a door inside that connected the two bedrooms, which was convenient for the children to interact with each other. For privacy issues, they could simply close the door, which was lockable from both sides.

Outside, Li Xiangzhi cried out, "Sister, little Jin has a fever, and it’s climbed to 39°, screaming and crying for father, but you know, his father has already... I was thinking, Mo Zhixuan does bear a resemblance to his dad, could you let Zhixuan take a look at him? Poor little Jin really has it tough. From the moment he was born, he didn’t get a glimpse of his deadbeat dad, and now he’s delirious with fever, still crying out for his father..."

Li Xiangzhi’s words were so pitiable that even the Mo family matriarch felt her heart soften a bit.

Mo Zhixuan’s expression remained unchanged, and he spoke in an indifferent tone, "Even a three-year-old child knows to look for a doctor when sick, what use is it for you to come to me?"

Is ’Dad’ a title that can be so casually called upon?

Li Xiangzhi continued, "Dr. Zhang has already seen little Jin, but this is a heart sickness, and Dr. Zhang is also at a loss. Heart diseases require heart medicine, Zhixuan, please consider that little Jin is your nephew and grant him this wish. It’s not like he had a choice in having no father. Little Jin is out of his mind with fever; he’s fixated on you, otherwise, I would not have made this trip..."

As Li Xiangzhi spoke, she wiped away her tears, though inside, one could not tell what schemes were at play.

The Mo family matriarch sighed, "The child little Jin is indeed pitiable. Why don’t you, Zhixuan, accompany your aunt for a visit?" The Mo family matriarch looked up at Mo Zhixuan.

As Mo Zhixuan was about to refuse, a clear voice filled the air, "Yes, Mo Zhixuan, please go with your aunt. It hasn’t been easy for little Jin."

Chu Jin walked over with a smile.

She knew there was deceit in this matter, but the mother and daughter Li Xiangzhi were too bothersome, causing trouble out of nothing. Since they liked to play their games, then let them play it out to the fullest! This matter would be a good opportunity to deal with them.

Li Xiangzhi looked at Chu Jin in surprise, expressing gratitude, "Jin really understands reason; I thank you on behalf of little Jin."

Originally, Li Xiangzhi thought Chu Jin would interfere, but unexpectedly, Chu Jin turned into divine support! It seems Chu Jin was not as shrewd as Li Xiangzhi had imagined. A sharp gleam flickered and vanished in the depths of Li Xiangzhi’s eyes.

Chu Jin smiled faintly, "You’re welcome." Then, she turned to Mo Zhixuan, "You better go quickly, don’t keep little Jin and Qiaoqiao waiting anxiously."

Mo Zhixuan, understanding the meaning in Chu Jin’s eyes, nodded cooperatively, "Alright, I’ll go now."

Mo Zhixuan followed Li Xiangzhi towards the eastern wing.

From a distance, one could hear little Jin crying and shouting for his dad.

Hearing little Jin’s crying, Mo Zhixuan couldn’t help but feel his heart soften. Ever since he had Bao Bao and Bei Bei, he had developed a compassionate father’s heart.

The hearts of Li Xiangzhi and her daughter were indeed ruthless enough to use such a small child.

Children are like blank slates, learning both good and bad easily. Little Jin was no longer the innocent child he once was...

Tong Qiaoqiao, peering through the window at Mo Zhixuan’s figure, was so moved that her heart fluttered with excitement. She hurriedly placed the sandalwood in the incense burner.

It wasn’t long before Mo Zhixuan entered the room with Li Xiangzhi.

Tong Qiaoqiao immediately came forward, her eyes slightly red and swollen, "Cousin, you’ve come."

Mo Zhixuan nodded slightly, "Yes, where’s little Jin?"

"Little Jin is inside, follow me." Tong Qiaoqiao led Mo Zhixuan into the room, while Li Xiangzhi quietly slipped away with tact.

A strangely scented sandalwood burned inside the room, and upon entering, Mo Zhixuan noticed it. He could have held his breath to avoid the scent, but he didn’t, breathing normally with an unchanged expression.

"Daddy, daddy..." little Jin cried out, wanting Mo Zhixuan to hold him.
