C125 The Plot Was Brewing
The reason why the Zhai family wanted to become in-laws with the Su family was partly because of their good old relationship. On the other hand, the Zhai family didn't seem to have changed much in the past few years. In fact, it was still getting higher and higher, but there was a problem with the actual business. There were a few holes in their business. They were just waiting for the marriage to come. Zhai Jie could use the money from the Su family to fix it for them.
That was why Zhai Jie's father thought this matter was very important. He had gone on a business trip to negotiate with the creditors. He wanted to loosen the deadline by a few more days. After the fifth day of the next month, everything would be fine.
In the end, because of Old Master Su's illness, Su Haotian wanted to delay the wedding date. That would ruin the Zhai family's major matter, and Zhai Jie had to stop him no matter what.
But it was useless. Not only did Su Haotian say that the old man could not hold the wedding, but he also said that it was not good for the old man to not hold the wedding. Su Ruoyao also said as if she didn't care about death, "Unless Dr. Lin tells my grandfather that he is completely fine, otherwise, I won't attend the wedding even if I die."
Zhai Jie could only give up for now and wait until he returned home to discuss with his father before making the next step of his plan.
However, the current Lin Yi was even more eye-catching than before. He originally thought that Lin Yi really wanted to follow him. Now that he thought about it, the words he said to him when he went to save Han Ying were probably bait for him to catch a big fish.
Although Mei was not Zhai Jie's person, Zhai Jie felt that the enemy of his enemy was his friend. He could make good use of them and perhaps they could be of great use in the future.
Zhai Jie was calculating in his heart, but he did not hear Su Haotian calling him.
"Jie." Su Haotian reached out his hand and shook him, then shook him awake.
"Oh, Uncle Su." Zhai Jie smiled awkwardly.
"Jie, what are you thinking about?" Su Haotian asked.
"Nothing. I'm just thinking about the wedding." Zhai Jie casually made up a reason and gave it a perfunctory answer.
"Don't even think about the wedding. I will look for your father again and discuss a new auspicious day. You don't have to worry about it. I promise that Yao will definitely become the wife of Zhai family this year." Su Haotian gave Zhai Jie some peace of mind.
Zhai Jie nodded. He felt that there was nothing else for him to do at the scene, so he said that he would leave.
Because Old Master Su had not woken up yet, they all wanted to guard him. Su Haotian also did not send Zhai Jie downstairs and let him do what he wanted.
Zhai Jie went downstairs. When he wanted to go out, he suddenly came back. He found a servant and asked where Mei was locked up, and he wanted to interrogate her.
The servants already treated Zhai Jie as their son-in-law, which was just a family. They would not be suspicious, so they brought Zhai Jie to Guan Mei's secret room.
They did not expect the dignified Su family to have such a place. On the surface, it was already modern, but there was still an ancient system in their bones.
The door opened. Mei looked up nervously. When she saw that it was Zhai Jie, she seemed to have let out a sigh of relief.
"Who are you? Why are you helping me?" Zhai Jie went straight to the point.
Mei shook her head and said, "Young Master Zhai Jie, I don't understand what you are talking about. I did not help you. I am just speaking the truth."
"Alright, no matter who you are, if you want to regain your freedom, from now on, you have to help me. Only then can I help you." Zhai Jie and Mei were negotiating terms.
"But young master Zhai Jie, I am now locked up here. What can I help you with?" Mei asked.
"You don't have to worry about that. As long as you agree, you can do whatever I tell you to do. Also, you have to keep it a secret. I can help you get out of here." Zhai Jie said.
Mei thought for a while and nodded. "Okay, young master Zhai Jie. I will listen to you from now on."
Mei was bold and bold at this moment. She was not like the previous person who was afraid of trouble. Any action she made would give herself away.
However, Zhai Jie had not paid much attention to her before, so he was naturally not clear about these details.
Zhai Jie left with satisfaction and sent out a signal. Soon, a black shadow flashed past and picked up Mei, who wanted to send out a message.
Every day, Su Ruoyao accompanied Lin Yi to treat Old Master Su's illness with acupuncture.
The reason why it took a week was that using the Shadowless Needle also consumed Lin Yi's body. Old Master Su's illness was more serious, so Lin Yi could only use acupuncture for two hours a day. After that, Old Master Su would wake up in half an hour. When he was awake, he would take advantage of the time. He had to give him the medicine to take, and then he would fall asleep again.
This cycle repeated itself, and it was safer for Lin Yi and the old man.
It was already the third day of treatment like this. After Lin Yi fed the medicine to the old man, he brought Su Ruoyao out of the room.
"Lin Yi, thank you. If it wasn't for you, grandfather really wouldn't know what to do." Su Ruoyao thanked Lin Yi.
"Ruoyao, I told you long ago that only the existence of patients and doctors is valuable. These are all my responsibilities. You don't have to thank me." Lin Yi said.
"Although the wedding is postponed now, it will be held sooner or later. Last time, because of Mei, our plan failed. If we bring this up again now... Father and the others will not believe us." Su Ruoyao suddenly mentioned the marriage with Zhai Jie and became sad again.
Lin Yi comforted her and said, "Don't be discouraged. If it is delayed, there will still be hope. Mei's accident, I really did not think of it. It was my mistake."
"Don't say that. If it was not for you, there might not even be this delay." Su Ruoyao said that perhaps even she thought that this week's treatment was a delaying tactic that Lin Yi had thought of beforehand.
Lin Yi gestured to Su Ruoyao to shush, then took her back to Lin Yi's room. He said, "This delay really has nothing to do with me. Your grandfather's illness really needs that long. But I didn't think that it would coincide with your wedding date. "
"That is the will of heaven." Su Ruoyao said.
"That's right. Since the heavens have such intentions, he doesn't want you to marry Zhai Jie. He will definitely help you. You have to be alert." Lin Yi encouraged her.
Su Ruoyao nodded. "Yes, thank you." After that, she even blinked her big eyes. They were very cute.
Lin Yi looked at the little deer in his heart that was beating wildly. He was most afraid of this kind of gentle look when facing a woman, let alone when she was a big beauty.
Lin Yi immediately withdrew his gaze. Although he said that he was not polite, his heart was filled with wishful thinking.
"Then I won't disturb you anymore. You said that you will also be very tired using the Shadowless Needle. You still have to continue tomorrow. You should rest early." Su Ruoyao saw Lin Yi turn his head and thought that he didn't want to speak anymore.
Lin Yi heard that she was going to leave, so he turned around and said, "I will leave now. Then, alright, you should rest early too."
Although he was not satisfied, he thought that he could chat with the beauty for a while more. They had been discussing how to deal with Zhai Jie before, and these few days it was Old Master Su's condition. It was not easy for him to be alone and wanted to use the romantic moonlight to talk to each other, but there was nothing after that.
