Mrs. Huo had thought it might be medicine or something similar.
She never expected Boss Huo to pull out two talismans.
Mrs. Huo nearly rolled her eyes and fainted on the spot.
She clenched her fists, pounding them desperately against Boss Huo's chest, weeping heartbrokenly, "How can you still believe in this nonsense at a time like this?"
Her heart felt as if slashed by a knife as she looked at her son lying weakly on the bed, barely breathing. "I've heard all about what kind of person Wen Yan is while playing mahjong with the society ladies. She's just a wild girl from the countryside who knows nothing. How could you believe her and her two pieces of paper—"
Boss Huo frowned deeply. "My dear, she seemed very sincere and confident when she spoke. No matter what, let's just try it, okay?"
Boss Huo first brought the exorcism talisman to the bedside.
Both Boss Huo and Mrs. Huo noticed that Huo Yanzhi began trembling even more violently, his breathing growing heavier.
Large teardrops fell from Mrs. Huo's eyes, her emotions in turmoil. "I told you it was a scam! Do you want to kill our son?"
Boss Huo remained somewhat calmer than his wife. If the talisman had no effect at all, why would their son suddenly start trembling so fiercely?
Boss Huo suddenly remembered the incantation Wen Yan had taught him. He closed his eyes and immediately began chanting.
Suddenly, the exorcism talisman floated into mid-air and then spontaneously ignited, burning to ashes.
In the moment it turned to ash, it seemed as if something was ejected from Huo Yanzhi's body. Immediately after, a piercing, wretched scream echoed through the air.
The sinister, chilling coldness that had filled Huo Yanzhi's room instantly dissipated.
Huo Yanzhi's body stopped convulsing, and his breathing gradually returned to normal.
Mrs. Huo leaned over the bed, checking her son's breath.
It was even and steady, no longer fluctuating between fast and slow.
"Zhenbang, call the family doctor immediately!"
After the family doctor arrived, he examined Huo Yanzhi.
His eyes widened in astonishment. "The young master has returned to normal. His pulse, heartbeat, temperature, and breathing are all normal."
Boss Huo and Mrs. Huo were stunned, but as the reality sank in, they were overwhelmed with joy and excitement.
"Zhenbang, our son is better!"
"Yes... yes, he is!"
After the family doctor left, Mrs. Huo glanced at the window. "Did you hear a woman's wretched scream earlier?"
Huo Zhenbang nodded. "I heard it. It must have been the evil spirit that was haunting our son."
Mrs. Huo had never believed in such things before, but having witnessed it with her own eyes, she had no choice but to believe.
"It seems Wen Yan isn't as useless as the rumors say. She does have some skill."
Boss Huo was still feeling a lingering fear. If he hadn't believed Wen Yan, his son might not have made it through the night.
Thankfully, he had somewhat blindly trusted her words.
"My dear, Wen Yan is our son's savior. Once Yanzhi is fully recovered, we must take him to the Wen family to thank her properly."
Although they had paid Wen Yan eighteen thousand for the meal, Boss Huo felt that amount was far too insignificant.
He would thank her properly then!
Mrs. Huo nodded. "Quickly, take out the other talisman, the peace talisman, and place it on our son. What if that evil spirit tries to latch onto Yanzhi again?"
"Alright!"
...
In the Bentley.
Si Jingyi was riding home from work in Si Moyan's car.
He saw a video in the WeChat group for upper-class socialites and young masters.
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap—"
Si Moyan was reviewing documents in the car. Hearing Si Jingyi's series of exclamations, he shot a cold glance his way. "Shut up!"
"Big brother, my sister-in-law is seriously awesome. She's really on a rampage! So cool and fierce!"
Si Jingyi saw that someone in the group had posted a video of Wen Yan kicking Ye Yinyin flying at the private restaurant.
Everyone in the group was criticizing Wen Yan for being violent, crude, and ill-mannered.
But Si Jingyi's focus was solely on Wen Yan's combat skills.
He truly hadn't expected his sister-in-law to be so formidable!
It seems she really held back from kicking him because of his big brother!
He had been provoking her and speaking ill of her recently, yet she still spoke to him politely. She had really given him face!
Thankfully, he had come to his senses!
From now on, sister-in-law is his goddess!
Si Moyan glanced at the video Si Jingyi handed over, his dark eyes narrowing slightly. "Who posted it in the group?"
"A minor socialite."
Seeing the comments below filled with insults directed at Wen Yan, Si Moyan directly hacked the group.
Not only was the video gone, but the group was forcibly disbanded.
Si Jingyi gave Si Moyan a thumbs-up. "Big brother, you're still the best."
Si Moyan's handsome jawline tightened. "Don't overthink it. As long as we're not divorced, she is still a member of our Si family."
Si Jingyi wore a cheeky grin. "I know, I know. Big brother is secretly protecting his wife!"
Si Moyan, "..."
...
After Wen Yan returned to the Si residence, Old Master Si engaged her in casual conversation.
He introduced the situation of every member of the Si family to her.
"Xiao Yan, what do you think of your grandpa here?"
Old Master Si's question gave Wen Yan a slight shock.
[Oh my! The old man wasn't this attentive before. His sudden change... could his lecherous side be acting up, and he's taken a fancy to a great beauty like me?]
[The old man never had much sense of morals. Will I have to go back to my ugly look with the explosive hair and smoky makeup tomorrow?]
"Ahem, ahem—" Old Master Si choked on his tea, his white beard twitching in surprise.
No matter how lecherous he was, he would never set his sights on his own granddaughter-in-law!
Doing something like that would make him less than human!
Although there had been times in the past when he hadn't acted humanely.
But he could swear on his life, he only saw Wen Yan as his granddaughter-in-law!
The reason he was chatting with her so familiarly was simply to try and find out from her who might try to kill him in the future!
But she just wouldn't say!
She really knew how to keep someone in suspense!
Si Moyan and Si Jingyi, who had just entered, also overheard Wen Yan's inner thoughts.
The brothers exchanged a look.
"Big brother, do you think grandpa might—"
Before he could finish, Si Moyan slapped the back of his head. "Don't talk nonsense."
Si Jingyi rubbed the back of his head as he walked into the living room, a fawning smile appearing on his handsome face. "Sister-in-law, how are you?"
Wen Yan, "..."
In her memory, Si Jingyi had never given her a friendly look.
When he took her to the Song family this morning, his tone was still harsh and aggressive.
[Has the Green-hat Turtle suffered some shock that drove him insane?]
Old Master Si suddenly looked at Si Jingyi, noticing the white gauze on his forehead. He frowned. "Second grandson, how did you get injured?"
Si Jingyi thought of Ruan Qinghuan, who had almost run him over. His smile faded. "Ran into a crazy woman."
"Nothing serious, I hope?"
Si Jingyi waved his hand. "It's fine. I'm tough."
Si Jingyi eagerly scurried over to Wen Yan, pulling out his phone. "Sister-in-law, we haven't added each other on WeChat yet. Let's add each other!"
Wen Yan, "Is that really necessary?"
[After all, you Si family cannon fodders don't truly see me as one of your own. Once I complete my mission, I plan to fly far, far away.]
Si Jingyi was taken aback.
What mission does sister-in-law need to complete? And where does she plan to fly off to?
Ahhh!
No way! Sister-in-law is the Si family's goddess, their lucky star. She absolutely cannot leave!
One of these days, he'd have to figure out a way to get his hands on some potent tonic for his elder brother, so the newlyweds could finally consummate their marriage!
