After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 694

Chapter 694: Generosity Beyond Measure
Yu Ze suppressed a smile, nearly bursting into laughter. He couldn’t bear to look at Huo Mingxuan’s expression, knowing it must be quite grim.

Ah, if only he had known this would happen, why did he act as he did in the first place?

Despite being his own son, now he had to resort to desperate measures to gain sympathy. Yet the child remained indifferent, only concerned about his next meal.

Huo Mingxuan’s complexion turned exceedingly pale, while Zhouzhou’s face lit up with a hint of joy. Glancing at his expression, she sighed.

“Oh, Little Skinny Pole, don’t dwell on it. We won’t be able to enjoy this feast this year.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Ji’an also expressed disappointment, casting a disdainful glance at Huo Mingxuan. “Truly useless,” he muttered.

Huo Mingxuan’s temples throbbed, almost tempted to scold the boy. Taking a deep breath, he leaned back in his wheelchair, pressing his forehead weakly. “It hurts, let’s go home.”

Zhouzhou watched him, noticing his pallor, and retrieved a bottle of medicine to hand to Huo Ji’an.

“Little Skinny Pole, here, give this to your former father. He needs it.”

Huo Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, about to remark that the girl wasn’t as materialistic as he thought, when Zhouzhou interjected, “Otherwise, people might think my medicine is fake and tarnish my reputation!”

Huo Mingxuan fell silent.

Truly, she was not to be underestimated!

Qin Lie stood nearby, glancing at Huo Mingxuan. “Since you’re not feeling well all the time, perhaps it’s best to visit the hospital.”

Without waiting for his response, Qin Lie pushed the wheelchair and guided him into the car.

Startled, Huo Mingxuan hesitated, afraid to go to the hospital. As he attempted to get out of the car, Qin Lie firmly held his shoulder.

“Mr. Huo, stay put.”

Meeting his cold gaze, Huo Mingxuan clenched his fists, realizing he couldn’t resist. He reluctantly complied.

Perhaps a visit to the hospital would extend his recovery by another month.

With this in mind, he felt less urgency.

Zhouzhou, curious, piped up, “Daddy, are we going to the hospital?”

“Yes,” Qin Lie nodded.

Zhouzhou had no objections, smiling brightly. “Then I’ll also go see Uncle and Auntie, and my little sister.”

She referred to the Wei Liang family.

Since Wei Liang had gone to the hospital yesterday, they hadn’t been in contact, unsure of his condition.

In the hospital room.

Meng Xiao sipped the fish soup her mother-in-law had stewed, glancing at her daughter who was still fast asleep, her mind filled with worry for her husband.

“Mom, did Wei Liang tell you what he’s been busy with lately?”

Mrs. Wei, preparing milk for her granddaughter, replied casually, “He mentioned something about investigating a gutter oil case.”

“But isn’t that local? Why did he have to go on a business trip?”

Recalling her husband’s words from yesterday, Meng Xiao couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.

“No, I’ll call his colleagues.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Liang, now a spirit, panicked. He could only watch helplessly as she dialed the number, his heart pounding.

“Hello, is it Little Dou? It’s Meng Xiao.”

“Hi, sister-in-law,” came a cheerful voice from the other end.

It was an intern Wei Liang had brought in, enthusiastic and talkative, unable to keep a secret.

Seeing it was him, Wei Liang broke into a cold sweat.

“So, Liang called yesterday, saying he’s going on a month-long business trip. I forgot to ask where he’s going. Do you know?”

“A business trip?” The voice repeated in confusion. “But isn’t he already…”

Wei Liang’s heart skipped a beat.

He’s dead, right?

Wei Liang’s heart pounded wildly.

Before the sentence could finish, it seemed like the person suddenly couldn’t speak, as if their throat had been choked.

After a few seconds, they cleared their throat and said, “Yes, Senior Wei went on a business trip.”

Meng Xiao sensed something was off and asked, “Where did he go on the trip?”

“It’s quite far, supposedly in the deep mountains of the southwest. They found a rare plant, so the leadership sent him to take a look and even plan to make a documentary.”

“Oh, by the way, sister-in-law, I heard you had a daughter yesterday? Congratulations! Senior used to talk about wanting a daughter.”

With the conversation shifting to the daughter, Meng Xiao let her guard down, smiling, “Thank you. Little Dou, how about you? Do you have a girlfriend? Do you need me to introduce someone to you?”

The topic suddenly veered off course.

Wei Liang’s heart relaxed.

Still puzzled, he wondered how he managed to keep his mouth shut. It wasn’t like him at all.

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in,” Mrs. Wei called out.

Then, a small head peeked in.

Seeing Wei Liang, Zhouzhou’s mouth curved into a smile as she pushed the door open and bounced in.

“Auntie, how are you?” Zhouzhou ran to the bedside, tilting her head up to ask.

Meng Xiao looked at her, slightly puzzled, not recognizing who she was.

But Mrs. Wei remembered and said, “This is the little girl who gave us the talisman yesterday.”

Oh, her.

Meng Xiao remembered and looked at the chubby little face, feeling a fondness arise in her heart.

“I’m fine, thank you, little girl.”

“You’re welcome.” Zhouzhou shook her head, “I’m here on behalf of Uncle Wei.”

With that, Zhouzhou walked to the crib, curiously peering at the baby inside. She widened her eyes in amazement, “Wow, she’s so tiny.”

Meng Xiao and Mrs. Wei couldn’t help but chuckle at her antics.

Zhouzhou cautiously reached out her finger and gently touched the baby’s hand.

It was so small that she was afraid of hurting her.

The baby’s nose twitched, still sound asleep.

How fun.

Zhouzhou was fascinated, her eyes round as she stared at her.

After a while, she finally looked away, remembering something. She suddenly took out the Ancestral Master’s statue and extracted a tiny ray of merit light to give to the baby.

Ancestral Master was furious. “If you want to act generous, why exploiting me?!”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou felt a bit guilty and looked away, murmuring softly, “I’ll save mine for Sharp Tongue Daddy.”

He would be going out on a mission again soon, so she needed to save more for him.

Ancestral Master was furious, grabbing her ponytail. Seeing her beg for mercy, he finally let go, grunting in annoyance.

The little girl was adorable, but something seemed off about her.

Mrs. Wei hesitated for a moment before asking, “Little girl, are you alright?”

Who was she muttering to?

They said children could see those things. Could there be something dirty in this room?

No, she would bring some peach wood later.

To ward off evil!
