"The Eldest Young Master rarely encounters a girl to his liking. It’s only natural for him to act somewhat impulsively." Housekeeper Liu lowered his voice, advising word by word. "A girl to his liking?" The old Madam Bao repeated disdainfully, her face showing a trace of contempt, "Just a worthless thing." Not only did she provoke A-Cheng, but now she’s also mingling with the grandson she values most? If not for easing the relationship with Ajin, that worthless thing would have been driven out of T City long ago. How could she be allowed to linger under her nose? Seeing the old Madam Bao speak in such a manner, Housekeeper Liu chose to remain silent. In the suffocating atmosphere, an attendant fearfully served a cup of hot tea, placing it before the old Madam Bao, then carefully retreated. Though aged, the old Madam Bao showed no signs of fatigue while sitting on the sofa; her expression was equally serious. The pin-drop silence in the hall heralded the calm before the storm. No one knew how much time had passed when a somewhat disheveled figure slowly emerged from the corridor, attracting all eyes in the hall towards the newcomer. Bao Shaojin’s jet-black hair was wet, and with every step he took, the strands swayed, drops of rain trickling from his head. His bloodthirsty cold eyes flashed with a sinister glint, and anyone who met his gaze could feel overwhelmed by his dark pupils. A penetrating chill emanated from him. Despite his usual perceptiveness, he surprisingly didn’t notice the sudden presence in the hall. At this moment, he casually wore a bath towel over his body, the front of his shirt open, revealing well-defined abs, inadvertently exuding a rugged masculinity. A clear call rang out. Bao Shaojin’s dark eyebrows slightly raised, his thin lips pressed into a straight line. At that moment, he raised his head, following the voice, a shadow crossed the sharply contoured lines of his face. When he saw who was sitting on the sofa, he gracefully stepped forward, "Grandmother." The old Madam Bao looked at her tall grandson before her, feeling both proud and worried. The next second, she glanced towards the corridor leading to the bedroom until she confirmed that only her grandson had come out before she was about to speak. Her eyes inadvertently fell on his hand. "You’re injured?" The old Madam Bao stood up in panic. Afraid the old Madam might fall, Housekeeper Liu quickly stepped forward to support her. Bao Shaojin lowered his eyes, his gaze fleetingly settling on the blood-soaked bandage on his hand, his expression emotionless, "It’s nothing." The old Madam Bao moved her feet with difficulty, each step feeling as heavy as lead. Her shaky steps brought her in front of her grandson, "This is called nothing?" The white bandage around his palm was all stained with blood. Not only that, but the bandage was wet, with bloodstains on the back of his hand, a disturbing sight at a glance. "Zhenxing, quickly have someone prepare the car, we’re going to the hospital." The old Madam Bao growled, her face already filled with rage. Seeing the old Madam tightly gripping the Eldest Young Master’s wrist, Housekeeper Liu released her and hurried towards the outside. "It’s just a cut, no big deal." Bao Shaojin spoke, a look of inexplicable gloom in his eyes. "The girl in the room did this?" The old Madam Bao stared deeply at her grandson’s palm, her face somber and eyes filled with a sense of murder. Upon hearing the old lady mention "the girl in the room," Bao Shaojin’s dark eyes flickered with a few complex emotions. He quickly said in a low voice, "It’s not her fault." His eagerness to clear the girl only made the old Madam Bao think of other things. At this moment, Housekeeper Liu returned from outside, hastily saying, "Old Madam, everything is arranged." "Let’s go, to the hospital first." The old Madam Bao originally intended to meet the captivating vixen. Now that her most valued grandson was injured, she had no mind to punish the girl, all her attention focused on her grandson. She grabbed Bao Shaojin, ready to leave... "No need to make a fuss, it’s just some scratched skin." Bao Shaojin frowned slightly, trying to persuade her. "If you don’t go to the hospital, believe it or not, I’ll ruin the girl’s hand." The old Madam Bao gazed at him with sharp eyes, speaking with intimidating force, making it impossible to ignore her words. The old Madam Bao didn’t lightly threaten others; once she spoke such words, it was clear she was truly angered. "Grandmother..." Bao Shaojin’s long eyes glowed with a cold glimmer, "Don’t harm her!" He enunciated each word clearly and distinctly. The two were close; he was a head taller than the old Madam Bao. As they locked gazes, the old Madam Bao felt the dangerous aura emanating from him..... The grandson before her was raised personally by her, having cultivated him by her side. The old Madam Bao knew something of his temperament—unless truly touched upon his reverse scale, he wouldn’t speak rashly before her. Now, he solemnly warned her, for a girl no less! Thinking this, the old Madam Bao’s breath quickened, her fade turning pale, even tightening her grip on his wrist. "You... for an outsider..." The old Madam Bao raised a trembling hand, pointing at him. However, before she could finish her sentence, Housekeeper Liu stood by her side, pulling out a medicine bottle from his pocket. After taking out a pill, he spoke tensely, "Old Madam, don’t get worked up, take the medicine first." Bao Shaojin stood rigidly, his uninjured hand placed on the old lady’s wrist, supporting her. The old Madam Bao looked at the pill offered by Housekeeper Liu but showed no intention of taking it. She lightly pounded her chest with a hand, her face looking very unwell. "Grandmother, take the medicine." Bao Shaojin took the pill from Housekeeper Liu’s hand, his hawk-like eyes resting on the old lady’s stubborn face. Both were extremely shrewd individuals, knowing when to stop. Despite her age, it was impossible for the old Madam Bao to truly get into a tizzy with Bao Shaojin. She slowly opened her mouth. Bao Shaojin personally placed the pill in her mouth, and after she swallowed it, Housekeeper Liu saw the atmosphere slightly ease, quickly handing over a cup of water from the coffee table for the old Madam Bao to sip. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦·𝘯𝘦𝘵 After taking the medicine, the hint of pallor on the old Madam Bao’s face gradually faded. The old Madam Bao restrained her harsh aura, speaking again, "To the hospital." This time, Bao Shaojin did not argue with her, a complex expression briefly flashing across his brows as he replied, "Okay." Hearing his compromising words, the old Madam Bao’s dark face gradually relaxed. Housekeeper Liu went ahead to support the old Madam Bao, the two walking a few steps ahead before realizing the person behind had not moved. The old Madam Bao’s face suddenly darkened, "What are you waiting for?"
