Chapter 357 The Old Lady Awakens

Unlike the adults who were tense, Zhouzhou remained composed. She checked the old lady's pulse and then led Nini outside.

Seeing Nini's worried face, Zhouzhou reassured her, "Don't worry, Grandma will wake up in two hours."

Huo Ji'an chimed in, "That's right. Chubby Girl is amazing. She cured my anorexia. I couldn't eat a bite before, but after taking her medicine, I woke up hungry in the middle of the night."

Nini's eyes flickered with hope. "Really?"

"Of course!" Huo Ji'an nodded emphatically.

Qin Er added, "Zhouzhou's medicine is excellent. It sells for a hundred thousand outside."

A hundred thousand!

Nini looked at Zhouzhou in surprise.

Zhouzhou proudly lifted her chin, hands on her hips. That's right, she was Qin Caicai, a prodigious moneymaker. If it weren't for her constant need for funds, she'd surely be the richest person.

Hearing their words, Nini felt slightly relieved, a faint smile finally appearing on her face. However, she remained anxious until her grandmother woke up.

After a tense two hours, a voice called out from the room, "She's awake."

At the sound, Nini rushed in without hesitation, Zhouzhou and the others following closely.

"Grandma?" The old lady looked around, her gaze landing on her granddaughter. She smiled and called her name.

Nini was stunned, then overjoyed. "Grandma, you can speak!"

Since her stroke, Grandma hadn't been able to speak clearly and hadn't called her name in a long time.

The old lady was equally surprised. Yes, she could speak!

Zhouzhou stepped forward, checked her pulse, and nodded in satisfaction. "Grandma, you need to take your medicine properly. You'll be fine in half a month."

Hearing this, the old lady finally looked at Zhouzhou. She remembered the little girl who had treated her during her sudden episode. Her eyes softened, and she said kindly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Zhouzhou shook her little head. "Nini is my good friend. I should thank her for letting me stay."

Nini, overwhelmed with emotion, could only cry silently.

Ignoring the pleasantries, Huo Mingxuan walked forward, his face stern. The director, noticing his arrival, hurried to greet him.

Before he could speak, Huo Mingxuan asked coldly, "Where is Huo Ji'an?"

"Huo Ji'an?" The director was momentarily confused.

The bodyguard coughed and clarified, "Ji'an."

Oh, him.

Last time, Xi Yan had only mentioned bringing a child, not specifying their relationship. This time, Huo Ji'an had called Yu Ze 'Dad', which further muddled things for the director, who had no idea why Yu Ze's son bore the surname Huo.

Facing Huo Mingxuan's increasingly cold stare, the director quickly said, "Up ahead," and led the way, pondering their relationship.

Meanwhile, Huo Ji'an was watching Zhouzhou with admiration, saying to Yu Ze, "Dad, chubby girl is just too amazing."

He added, somewhat dejectedly, "I can't do anything."

He only knew how to break things, and Zhouzhou called him wasteful. Compared to her, he felt useless. Would his dad be disappointed in him?

As he was mulling over this, a large hand gently ruffled his hair. Looking up, he met Yu Ze's kind eyes. "It's okay. You'll be amazing too, one day. You can learn slowly, no rush."

Huo Ji'an beamed, his worries melting away.

The scene was heartwarming, the warm light casting a familial glow over them.

Huo Mingxuan arrived just in time to witness this, his presence radiating cold fury, causing the director to shiver. Sensing the gaze, Huo Ji'an turned and saw him, momentarily startled.

A few seconds later, he ran over on his short legs.

Seeing this, Huo Mingxuan's expression softened slightly. He knew the boy would come to him in the end.

But unexpectedly, the door closed with a "slam."

Huo Ji'an clapped his hands, and without hesitation, ran back inside.

Zhouzhou, hearing the noise, asked, "Little Skinny Pole, what's wrong?"

Huo Ji'an shook his head calmly. "Nothing, just a false alarm."
