Wang Lijun called Chu Mofan several times, but he didn't answer. She threw her phone down in frustration, then glanced at the "little devil" on the table and couldn't help but shudder. She quickly covered him with a red cloth and went to the room to find a Buddhist amulet for protection, which she then wore.

Half an hour later, Chu Mofan returned the call.

After Wang Lijun answered the call, she heard a lot of noise coming from the other end of the line, including music and the arguing of many people.

She was instantly enraged and shouted, "Chu Mofan! I don't care where you are or what you're doing! You have half an hour to get home!!"

Less than 20 minutes later, Chu Mofan rushed into the house, not even having time to change his shoes, and saw Wang Lijun sitting upright on the sofa. He walked over timidly, "Mom, what's wrong? Is something urgent?"

"What's wrong!" Wang Lijun's eyes widened in anger, her face dark and terrifying. "Do you even know that your sister died today?! And you still have the leisure to go out and indulge in debauchery?!"

Chu Mofan was momentarily stunned, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Zheng Juan is dead? How could it be so fast?"

"You're asking me? Who should I ask!" Wang Lijun roared, grabbing the remote control and throwing it at Chu Mofan. "I told you a thousand times to spend more time with Ye Xinghe! Did you even listen to me?!"

Chu Mofan immediately knelt down and bowed his head to admit his mistake.

Actually, he had no choice but to participate in tonight's activities. Taking advantage of Ye Xingyu's absence from work, Chu Mofan quickly developed his network of connections, getting in touch with Han Yaozu, the spendthrift son of the vice chairman of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference. Today was Han Yaozu's birthday, and Chu Mofan, catering to his tastes, chose the most famous business KTV in Jiangyang and invited about ten beautiful women to accompany him. Wang Lijun was having a great time when she made the phone call.

"Mom, calm down. I know I was wrong, but I didn't go there for fun today. It's the birthday of the vice chairman of the CPPCC, and I just got in touch with him, so I have to be there."

Hearing this, Wang Lijun's emotions softened slightly. She told Chu Mofan to get up and change his shoes, and then recounted her encounter with Ye Xinghe at the hospital that evening. "What do you think about today's events?"

Chu Mofan's face was tense, his brows furrowed, and a growing sense of worry deepened between his brows. He remained silent for a long while, leaving one to wonder if he was truly pondering the problem.

"Forget it! You're all useless! You can't be counted on! Not a single thing you're asked to do has been done properly! I have to do it myself!" Seeing that Chu Mofan hadn't spoken for a long time, Wang Lijun's anger was evident. "Go and contact Ye Xinghe right now, show her some concern, and while you're at it, find out when Ye Xingyu will be discharged from the hospital. It seems I have to go to the Ye family myself!"

Chu Mofan immediately agreed and went to do it. He soon gave a reply that Ye Xingyu would be discharged from the hospital this Sunday.

Upon hearing this, Wang Lijun's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Okay, I'll give you a list later of what we need to bring to the Ye family on Sunday. Prepare everything according to the list, making sure nothing is missing! There can't be any mistakes! Remember! Don't assign this task to anyone else; you must buy it yourself!"

Over the next two days, Chu Mofan behaved exceptionally well. Not only did he prepare everything by the second day, but he also visited Ye Xingyu at the hospital that evening, where Mu Jinyue happened to be present.

Ye Xinghe wasn't surprised at all by Chu Mofan's arrival. From the moment she saw Wang Lijun take her handbag away from the hospital yesterday, Ye Xinghe knew she would definitely arrange for Chu Mofan to come and gather information. What Ye Xinghe didn't expect was that Wang Lijun would discover so quickly that the "little devil" was a fake.

Unlike before, Chu Mofan exchanged a few pleasantries with Mu Jinyue after entering, and then spent the rest of the time discussing work with Ye Xingyu. He only occasionally spoke a few words to Ye Xinghe.

Ye Xinghe couldn't help but think that this person had received training at home, and their ability to play hard to get had indeed improved a lot.

He didn't speak to Ye Xinghe, and Ye Xinghe ignored him, just sitting quietly to the side listening.

Chu Mofan sat for about an hour before leaving.

Ye Xinghe pretended to get up to see him off, but Chu Mofan waved her hand to stop her. "Auntie, my mother came to the hospital yesterday and saw Xingyu. She complained that I didn't tell her about Xingyu's car accident. Years ago, she accidentally obtained three bone-setting pills, which were very effective. Xingyu is being discharged this Sunday, and my mother wants to go see him. She was afraid that going suddenly would be too abrupt, so she told you in advance."

Ye Xinghe almost wanted to applaud Chu Mofan's performance today; she couldn't refuse such a statement. It seemed that Wang Lijun couldn't hold back any longer and was about to take the stage herself.

Mu Jinyue thought that she hadn't returned the gift Chu Mofan had given her last time, so this was another opportunity. She smiled and replied, "Welcome to our home for dinner. You don't need to bring anything."

After Chu Mofan left, Ye Xingyu looked Ye Xinghe up and down, a hint of mystery in his eyes. "Xinghe, your brother just discovered something."

Ye Xinghe thought her older brother had discovered some secret, so she leaned closer and waited for him to continue.

Ye Xingyu then said with a smile, "Chu Mofan seems to be interested in you. What do you think?"

Ye Xinghe sighed and rubbed her forehead. She thought her older brother was going to say something. It was so obvious, yet he only just realized it. No wonder he was so easily won over by Zheng Juan back then.

Ye Xinghe sneered and said, "Unsolicited kindness is either a trick or a theft."

Sunday arrived quickly.

Ye Xingyu received his last injection in the ward early this morning and was ready to be discharged. He can then recuperate at home and go to the hospital for regular check-ups.

Chu Mofan and Wang Lijun had packed their belongings for the Ye family visit the night before. After breakfast, Wang Lijun took out a purplish-red satin brocade box with a dragon pattern from the study.

Chu Mofan took the box, opened it, and glanced at it. "Mom, are you really going to give this to the Ye family? This is the last one."

Wang Lijun rolled her eyes at him and said casually, "What's a little pill like this? The Ye family has everything. They wouldn't even look at something that money can buy. When giving gifts to that kind of family, you have to give something that money can't buy."

The brocade box contained a long-lost elixir—the Divine Dragon White Bone True Essence Pill.

It is a pale golden pill made from precious medicinal materials such as the essence of sacred wood, golden dragon bone, white tiger bone, black lotus, century-old Ganoderma lucidum, and millennium ginseng, imbued with the spirit of heaven and earth, and its surface is carved with dragon scale patterns.

After taking it, it will soothe the nerves and promote blood circulation, strengthen muscles and bones, and promote rapid bone healing.

This is exactly what the Ye family needs right now. Wang Lijun felt that once this gift was given, the relationship between the two families would definitely take a big step closer.
