Chapter 7: Moving Into the Huo Family

“I can only help him control it.”

Mo Zhu had always been able to tell that Huo Xuan was poisoned. When Huo Xuan had held her in the car earlier, she had checked his pulse and confirmed that it was the Heart-Devouring Poison.

The private room became even quieter. They had secretly looked for all the famous doctors, but none of them could do anything about Huo Xuan’s illness. In the end, they could only place their hopes on the divine doctor. However, after searching for the divine doctor for so many years, they still couldn’t find any traces of him. Every time they were about to successfully find traces of the divine doctor, the traces would be wiped out and all their efforts would be for naught.

Yet, this young girl was able to mention so nonchalantly that she could control Huo Xuan’s condition.

“You know medicine?” Xu Huan asked after a long while.

“A little.”

When Mo Zhu was in Qingyuan Village, Yun Jing had taught her. Besides, her memory was different from ordinary people, and she liked to study ancient books. Many things could be comprehended in her head in an instant. To her, she only knew a little about it, but her ‘little’ medical skills were very useful to others.

When she saw Yun Jing refining medicine for her grandmother in Qingyuan Village, she asked, “If my medical skills surpass yours, does it mean that I can save my grandmother?”

Yun Jing had put down the things in his hands and told her with a complicated expression that no matter how good her medical skills were, there was nothing she could do to save her grandma. From then on, Mo Zhu had no interest in learning medicine.

“A little? You can control Master Huo’s poison?”

“The earlier the treatment starts, the better. You can think about it.” Mo Zhu did not answer.

She recalled that when she went to the hospital to pay for her grandmother’s fees, the nurse told her that someone had already paid for five years’ worth of fees. Mo Zhu guessed that it was Huo Xuan. She never liked owing people favors, let alone it was related to her grandmother.

“Come and find me when you’ve thought it through. I’m at Jingyang High School.” The girl casually stuck her hand into her pocket and lowered the brim of her hat. She stood up and left after saying that.

“Mo Wu, send Ms. Mo off,” Huo Xuan instructed.

“Thanks.” Mo Zhu did not stand at on ceremony.

“She’s talking about Jingyang High School? Isn’t Miss Mo ignorant and incompetent, with really low grades?” Xu Huan recalled the rumors and asked belatedly.

“Even the children of the Huo family can’t enter the school easily. How did the Fang family help Mo Zhu get in? Is there anything we don’t know about the Fang family?”

Xu Huan looked at the man sitting there. The man had his head lowered, and the shadow of his eyelashes fell on his face, hiding the expression in his eyes. No one could tell what he was thinking, and he sat there with one of his legs bent casually.

That appearance of his had attracted countless young ladies from Cloud City and made them infatuated with him. Xu Huan sighed in his heart.

“Young Master Huo, may I know if you need anything?” A woman walked into the room, her gaze fixed on Huo Xuan.

She had fought for a long time before she could enter this private room. It was not easy to meet Young Master Huo.

She was not wearing an employee’s uniform. Her collar was wide open as she approached him affectionately.
