Chapter 269: Chapter 269

Last night, after Grandpa regained consciousness, he entrusted Dad and Third Aunt to Eldest Brother to handle.

It was also at that time that she found out that many years ago, Uncle’s death had actually been orchestrated by Dad and Third Aunt.

This time, Eldest Brother was determined to avenge his parents!

Although she also felt that Dad’s actions were wrong, he was still her father.

"Sister An Yan, I can see Eldest Brother really likes... no, no, that’s not it. I mean, Eldest Brother considers you a friend."

"He will certainly listen to your advice. My grandfather will too. You performed his surgery, and he’s a man who always repays kindness. As long as you ask, he will definitely listen to you..."

"So, what reason do I have to help you?" An Yan interrupted her.

Mo Shiyu was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Sister An Yan, if you help me, I’ll be your servant in the future, ready to do anything you ask!"

"So, can you treat illnesses, or perform acupuncture? Or can you earn money?"

An Yan’s lips curved slightly. "You can’t do any of those things. What use would I have for such a servant?"

"I... I can sing, dance, play the piano... And I can also do laundry, cook, and clean..."

"If I wanted to listen to songs or watch dancing, I’d go to a professional performance. As for laundry, cooking, and cleaning, we have specialized housekeeping staff at home."

"Look, your singing and dancing can’t compare to professional performers, and your laundry and cooking skills don’t measure up to housekeeping staff. You don’t even have a single unique advantage. How can you have the audacity to expect my help with nothing to offer?"

"Young lady, seeing as you’re a fan of mine, I’ll give you some advice: don’t meddle in matters beyond your control."

"Focus on improving your own abilities. One day, when you stand at the top of the pyramid, you’ll be able to protect those you want to protect. Only then can you use your abilities to make amends for the harm inflicted on others."

"Conversely, if you yourself are not capable, then everything you desire can only be achieved in dreams."

After speaking, An Yan walked past her towards the Old Master’s ward.

At the ward door, Mo Shidong silently opened it for her.

He had heard everything An Yan said to Ayu.

He thought he was beginning to understand why Eldest Brother liked An Yan.

She was genuinely smart and exceptionally clear-headed; she could see the essence of matters at a glance.

Right now, what he and Ayu should do wasn’t to beg someone to spare their father, but to strive to improve themselves and make amends for the mistakes their father had committed.

Only then might Eldest Brother possibly forgive them.

Unnoticed by anyone, Mo Shidong’s gaze towards An Yan held a new, fervent admiration.

Such a wonderful girl... why was she married so young?

Old Master Mo had fully regained consciousness. All his vital signs had returned to normal.

Seeing An Yan enter, he greeted her with vigor, "It’s true that heroes emerge from the young! Little lass, you’ve outshone that whole crowd of self-important old folks."

Professor Song and the others nearby smiled awkwardly. The most update n0vels are published on novel⦿fire.net

Their skills were indeed inferior!

In the past, An Yan would have been indifferent to such praise.

But now, she responded with polite modesty, "Everyone has their own strengths. I just happen to have a bit more experience in this specific field."

The more people she met and the more experiences she had, the clearer it became that the world didn’t operate by her rules.

Take Li Tianyao, or Old Master Mo before her.

They both possessed the power to command situations with a mere gesture.

Whereas, with a wave of her hand, the most she could do was write a prescription or treat an illness—they were on completely different levels.

Humility often led to greater modesty, and so An Yan had also learned to offer polite remarks.

"Young lady, come here."

Old Master Mo beckoned her over, and An Yan walked to his bedside.

The Old Master placed a card in her hand. "I, this old man, will remember this favor you’ve done. This is my personal card. In the future, should you ever need anything, present this card at any Mo Family property, and you will receive assistance."

Professor Song, standing nearby, drew in a sharp breath.

Old Master Mo is truly generous!With this card, An Yan can not only do as she pleases in Yuncheng...

Even outside Yuncheng, few would dare to provoke her!

However, Professor An Yan truly deserves to be held in such high esteem by the Old Master.

A divine doctor indeed!

Even he, who was not as skilled as An Yan, was treated as an honored guest by the Mo Family!

An Yan looked down. The Old Master had given her a black card, bordered with gold. On its face, the character "Mo" was intricately woven in gold thread in a flamboyant cursive script.

On the back was the Old Master’s signature: the three characters "Mo Hengyue," written with an elegant flourish.

An Yan’s eyes lit up slightly. "Old Master, I actually have something I’d like to ask your help with right now."

Old Master Mo laughed heartily. "Speak freely, speak freely!"

The Old Master wasn’t worried about An Yan having a request; he was only concerned she might not ask for anything at all!

Everyone else in the ward immediately excused themselves.

No one knew what An Yan discussed with the Old Master, only that she wore a smile when she emerged.

After all, gaining such a powerful backer would make anyone smile.

The pen in Li Tianyao’s hand suddenly snapped from his grip.

His headache flared up again, and he struggled to control his strength.

Fortunately, the little lass wasn’t home.

"Ninth Master, there’s news from Shangjing City. They say they haven’t found the Golden Thread Worm!" Lu Feng reported from outside the door. "All the places Li Qingqing frequented have been searched."

Li Tianyao reached for two solid steel balls, clenching them tightly in his hand. "Inform them to expand the search area."

He had to find the Golden Thread Worm before his condition worsened again.

He had said before that the Golden Thread Worm was key to developing the Antidote; if he couldn’t find it, this task would fall to the little lass.

How could he bear to let her endure such toil and hardship in the deep mountains and old forests?

Time seemed to slow to a standstill.

The steel balls in his hand were crushed out of shape.

And there were several more such deformed steel balls in the drawer.

The pain in his head only began to slowly subside as the sun started to set in the west.

Li Tianyao rose, went to the bathroom to wash off the sweat, changed his clothes, and returned to the study.

He had just sat down when he heard the sound of a car engine.

Getting up, he walked out onto the balcony and looked down.

An Yan was just getting out of the car, her face alight with a joyful smile.

The moment she stepped out, she sensed a gaze lock onto her.

Looking up, she saw Li Tianyao on the balcony.

Dressed in black, his figure appeared tall and statuesque, exuding an air of supreme nobility.

He looked as if he had just showered; the top two buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing a hint of his sexy Adam’s apple.

His black hair was slightly tousled, its ends still glistening with water droplets!

Seeing her standing below looking dazed, Li Tianyao extended his hand towards her. "Come up!"

An Yan leaped, soaring agilely up to the second-floor study’s balcony.

The man reached out and pulled her into his embrace. "Does your waist still hurt?"

An Yan tensed up immediately.
