Mrs. Huo is a CryBaby

If You Believe Me, I Will Save Him

When Song Jingwan heard what was happening she let out a bitter laugh. She pushed open the car door, stepped out, and said, “How could she know anything about medicine, she’s just being stubborn. Let me persuade her.”

In reality, Song Jingwan wanted Song Yaoyao to accidentally kill someone and have her reputation completely ruined.

She ran over to stop Song Yaoyao and apologized to the middle-aged man. “Sorry Sir, my sister’s never studied medicine before. She has no idea how to save a person. For the sake of the old gentleman’s safety, you should think about it carefully!”

“Who said I can’t?” Song Yaoyao asked as she looked at the middle-aged man, “The choice is in your hands. If you believe me, I will treat him.”

The young lady was clearly still young, but her eyes looked trustworthy.

At this point, there was nothing that the middle-aged man could do, so he took a deep breath and nodded his head. “I believe you!”

Song Jingwan felt happy inside, but a look of disappointment appeared on her face, “Yaoyao! That’s a life you’re talking about! How can you treat a life like a game?”

“Are you done with your act?” Song Yaoyao lifted her head, “If you’re done, then please move aside and don’t delay me from saving a person.”

The middle-aged man also felt that Song Jingwan was being a nuisance, “Miss, if there’s nothing else, please make way.”

Song Jingwan’s face turned green and pale. She pointed at Song Yaoyao and said, “Fine! If you kill someone, I will ignore you!”

Song Yaoyao rolled her eyes. “Get lost…”

After saying this, she crouched down beside the old man and said, “Lie him down horizontally and listen to my instructions.”

She focused, grabbed the old man’s hand, and carefully felt his pulse. At the same time, she found the acupuncture points that connected to the old man’s heart and gently pressed on them.

Jiquan, Shanzhong, Zhiyang…

The most important thing about massaging an acupuncture point wasn’t just in locating it. The technique was crucial.

Song Yaoyao pursed her lips. Her forehead was already covered in sweat. She was focused and calm, and she had a reassuring aura that slowly eased the middle-aged man’s fears.

One minute…five minutes…

Just as the onlookers thought the old man was dead, his body suddenly twitched, his eyes flew open, and his breathing slowly stabilized.

“Oh, my god! She actually saved him!”

“He’s alive! This girl has some skill!”

Song Jingwan’s back stiffened and she dug her nails into her palm. How was this possible?

When did Song Yaoyao learn medicine?

As she listened to everyone’s endless praise, she remembered how she confidently claimed that Song Yaoyao didn’t know any medicine. Now that she had been slapped in the face, her cheeks felt like they were burning in pain.

But it didn’t stop there. Soon, all the people that were criticizing Song Yaoyao turned their attention toward her.

“What motive did you have earlier? She clearly knows medicine, yet you were holding her back! That’s a life we’re dealing with!”

“I know, right? Lucky the doctor didn’t listen to her; otherwise, the old man would have been in trouble!”

Song Jingwan did not look pleased. As she listened to the complaints, she clenched her fists.

No! She couldn’t allow Song Yaoyao to get the better of her!

“This was just a coincidence. The old gentleman was fine to begin with! If you don’t believe me, you can ask her. We grew up together. I’ve never seen her touch medicine!”

Huo Ningxi paused and furrowed his brows.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man broke down in tears as he hugged the old man. “Father! You scared me to death! I told you to rest at home, but you refused to listen to me! If something happened to you, what would I have done?”

This scene was heartbreaking. If a sensitive person saw it, they would have already turned around to wipe their tears.

But Song Jingwan’s words really did get people thinking.

“Really?”

“What illness does the old gentleman have? Does it just look scary but it’s actually nothing?”

“Even her sister said this. It must be real…”

“Oh, does that mean she was using an elderly person to gain attention? Quick, look, someone’s taking photos!”

“So that’s what happened. Tsk, tsk, tsk, the moral degeneration in this world is getting worse....”

Song Yaoyao didn’t care about being suspected. She had a clear conscience. Probably due to the fact that she had grown up with a bad heart, she had always been mentally strong.

Song Jingwan’s lips curved upwards in secret as she approached Song Yaoyao’s side.

She furrowed her brows and apologized to the old man lying on the ground, “Sorry Sir, my sister doesn’t know any better. Did she hurt you? Don’t worry, if you feel unwell in any way, we are willing to take responsibility.”

After saying this, she grabbed onto Song Yaoyao and persuaded gently, “Yaoyao, hurry, apologize to the old gentleman and we’ll get that guy to erase his photos. After that, this can be left in the past.”

Although she and Song Yaoyao were twins, their appearance was different.

Song Jingwan was elegant and delicate with soft facial features. When she spoke, her voice was quiet, gentle, and pleasant. On the other hand, Song Yaoyao was beautifully dazzling like a flower with an aggressive vibe.

Huo Qi was furious. “Does Miss Song’s sister have something wrong with her head? I’m so angry!!” he said unhappily.

Before he finished speaking, he turned his head and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

“S-Sir, where are you going?”

Today, the man was dressed in a duck green Chinese-style robe that made his waist slim, his legs long, and his posture particularly upright. His cold presence made him seem like he was in his own world that no one was allowed inside.

No matter where he walked, people naturally moved aside and made way for him.

Song Yaoyao did not take notice. She simply thought Song Jingwan was mentally ill. “Why should I apologize?” She seemed amused but she did not smile as she spoke powerfully.

“You don’t know medicine. If word gets out, you will become even more of a joke! I know you’re trying to attract mom and dad’s attention, but it’s wrong to do this. If you apologize, I’m sure the old gentleman won’t mind.”

“That’s reasonable. It seems we misunderstood this girl.”

“Yes, little brat, hurry and apologize!”

Song Yaoyao had been squatting for too long and her legs were beginning to feel numb, so she took a deep breath in discomfort.

She truly felt that these people were really annoying, but she wasn’t upset. She simply wanted to stand up and return to her car.

“Yaoyao, listen to me…” Song Jingwan said gently. No matter how one looked at it, she was a good older sister that cared about her younger sister and did what was best for her.

Look at that Song Yaoyao, no matter how hard you try, no one will ever believe you! Obediently bow down at my feet like a pitiful little worm. Song Jingwan was ecstatic.

But, at that very moment, a powerful and furious voice resounded.

“Enough with your nonsense!”

Song Jingwan froze and looked toward the direction of the voice…

At some unknown point, the old man that was struggling to breathe on the ground was now full of life. He leaned against his son’s arms, pointed at Song Jingwan, and growled, “I’ve been teaching for several decades now, but I’ve never heard of a savior having to apologize to the person they saved! Where did you guys learn this logic from? Have you flushed everything you learned down the drain?”

The old man was wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses, his hair was white, and he had a dignified look in his eyes.

The man’s gaze made Song Jingwan feel as though her every thought was exposed. Her breathing sped up and she quickly explained, “That’s not it, old gentleman. I was afraid that she accidentally hurt you. I’m telling the truth. My sister really—”

“You know nothing!”

The old man looked at the gentle and elegant girl and felt even more frustrated. He then yelled at her until she couldn’t even raise her head.

“Do I not understand my own body? If this young lady didn’t help me, I would already be dead! Education teaches a person how to live. I suggest you go back to school and relearn your values!” After saying this, he turned, looked at Song Yaoyao, and a grin appeared on his serious face. “Young lady, thank you.”

Song Yaoyao’s legs were originally so numb from crouching that she was about to cry, but the feeling suddenly faded as she looked at the old man and smiled.

Sure enough, ginger got spicier with age. Song Jingwan thought she could fool everyone, but a tricky mind was nothing compared to someone with a lifetime of experience. His eyes were like a magic mirror that exposed all evil.

“Song Yaoyao.”

A man’s cold and deep voice resounded from above her head.

Song Yaoyao froze and slowly lifted her little head. She was still crouching on the ground like a white and fat r****h, rolled up in a ball.

“Ge—” she opened her mouth to call him, but quickly remembered how he disliked her.

She turned her head with hatred and swallowed the rest of her words.

Huo Yunque lowered his eyes. All he could see was the black crown of her head. Her hair was soft and a dopey strand of hair stuck out at the top.

His throat moved a little and amusement appeared in his narrow phoenix eyes.

“Stand up.”

He slowly stretched out his hand. His palm was thick and the tassel on his prayer beads swung slightly.

Song Yaoyao had always been weak against gentle methods. When others doubted her, she did not feel bad. When Song Jingwan pushed her and forced her to apologize, she didn’t care.

She only lived to 19 in her last life and she had been dearly loved by her parents and her older brother. Now that she was alone in this life, she told herself to remain strong.

But, as soon as Huo Yunque treated her in a gentle manner, she no longer wanted to act strong.

She pouted her lips and her eyes turned red as she said in a weak voice, “My legs are numb—” She couldn’t stand up.

Huo Yunque furrowed his brows slightly and felt as though something knocked against his heart.

When Song Jingwan heard these words, she quickly approached to help Song Yaoyao up. But as soon as she stretched out her hand, someone blocked her.

The man’s skin was fair, and the Chinese-style robe on his body made him appear distinguished and relaxed.

At that moment, he glanced over and Song Jingwan’s hairs stood on end. A coldness swept from her feet to her head, so cold that her joints seemed to creak.

Song Yaoyao sniffed and obediently gave Huo Yunque her hand.

Inside the man’s big palm, the girl’s hand felt soft and boneless. It was small and delicate, and it matched the man’s hand perfectly.

Huo Yunque applied a bit of force and pulled Song Yaoyao up.

“Huhu....”

Song Yaoyao’s delicate brows immediately furrowed. As she cried, she buried her head into Huo Yunque’s embrace and gripped onto his robe as her legs trembled.

“It hurts —I can’t take it anymore. My legs are numb.....”

Perhaps, most people would have experienced the feeling of crouching for too long and having their nerves compressed due to the obstruction of blood flow, leading to their legs becoming numb and uncomfortable for quite some time.

Song Yaoyao’s voice quivered. Her legs were trembling so much that she was leaning against Huo Yunque, unable to stand upright at all.

As soon as she applied strength, her entire leg felt numb like it had been electrocuted.

Song Jingwan watched in silence. This was a good opportunity to act but she was completely frightened by Huo Yunque’s gaze so she simply stood in place, clenching the hem of her dress.

Huo Ningxi approached and looked at Song Yaoyao who was in Huo Yunque’s arms. He furrowed his brows so hard that he could practically squish a fly between them.

He felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort. In a deep voice, he said, “Song Yaoyao, keep your distance from my Small Uncle.”

To him, his Small Uncle was different. He was the master of the Huo Family and also a person that Huo Ningxi worshipped like a god.

When Song Yaoyao heard the man’s voice, she peeked out her little head and whined in a slightly raspy voice, “No, I refuse!”

At the same time, she stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Huo Yunque’s waist.

So what if he was her fiance. They were simply engaged, it wasn’t like they had signed a marriage certificate. Their whole engagement was just a verbal agreement amongst the elders; it couldn’t be taken seriously. Besides, Huo Ningxi was an a*sh*le and Song Jingwan was a mistress!

If Song Jingwan wanted Huo Ningxi, Song Yaoyao was more than willing to hand him over to her.

But if he thought he could control her based on this kind of relationship, then he was wrong!

“Small Uncle, is Song Yaoyao bothering you? Ever since yesterday, she’s been treating you—”

Before he finished speaking, Huo Ningxi’s eyes opened wide in shock.

All he saw was Huo Yunque bending over, lifting Song Yaoyao in his arms, and turning to leave.

From beginning to end, he did not take a single glance at him.

If this was in the past, Huo Ningxi would have been used to it. After all, no one ever held any significance to his Small Uncle. In his eyes, the entire world was just a boring show, so he never cared about anything.

But now, he was actually treating Song Yaoyao differently......

The girl that his father told him to marry on his death bed; the girl that he did not like.

Why did his Small Uncle treat her differently?! Huo Ningxi was undeniably sour!

…

The moment that Huo Yunque bent over to pick her up, Song Yaoyao fell into a daze.

Even after she was placed in the car, her eyes were still opened wide in a dopey manner and she couldn’t snap out of it.

A long time later......

Song Yaoyao clenched her fists and pounced into Huo Yunque’s arms. “Gege, did you just carry me?!! Like a princess?!”

“Ahem…”

Huo Yunque cleared his throat. This girl seemed to have inexhaustible energy. She pounced into his arms like a cannonball, forcing him to lean back a little.

He furrowed his brows, deepened his voice, and commanded, “Song Yaoyao, let go.”

Regarding his earlier actions, he didn’t want to provide an explanation, nor did he think an explanation was necessary.

After speaking, his arms were empty, the atmosphere was tense, and it was particularly quiet.

Huo Yunque’s phoenix eyes lowered and met with a pair of twinkling eyes.

The sun shone into the girl’s eyes and they sparkled like glitter. She rested her little head in her hands, her bright red lips curled up, and she smiled sweetly.

She wasn’t angry.

Huo Yunque looked away with a slight smile in his eyes. He leisurely flipped open some documents and said casually, “Isn’t your leg numb anymore?”

Song Yaoyao immediately knew what he wanted to say next. To prevent herself from being shooed away, she quickly scrunched up her face and whined cutely, “Yes, it’s numb! It’s really numb! Gege, it’s so uncomfortable!”

Her little finger hooked the corner of his robe and shook it.

“It’s still uncomfortable?”

Song Yaoyao’s lips curled upwards, “Uh huh, uncomfortable~”

Huo Yunque paused. Without lifting his head, he said, “In that case, you should go to the hospital for an examination. If it’s serious, you should consider amputating it.”

Song Yaoyao’s hand froze and her expression sunk.

Amputation?

She looked at her leg and actually contemplated the possibility seriously. If her leg was amputated, would she be at least 1m tall?

While she was deep in thought, she heard Huo Yunque say to Huo Qi, “Call a helicopter to take her to the hospital for an examination.”

Alarm bells rang in Song Yaoyao’s mind.

“No!”

Song Yaoyao quickly tried to stop him. Filled with grievances, she looked at Huo Yunque and said, “Gege, my leg isn’t numb anymore.”

Huo Yunque flipped a page and held back a smile. “Okay, return to your car then.”

Huo Qi watched this scene through the rearview mirror and thought to himself, I never knew you were like this, Sir.

You’re awful!

Song Yaoyao sniffed. She noticed Huo Qi’s gaze and immediately glared at him fiercely as she threw a light punch threateningly.

Huo Qi felt a pain in his back.

“Goodbye then, Gege,” she bid farewell obediently as she stepped out of the car unwillingly.

“Yes.”

As he looked at Song Yaoyao’s gentle and obedient expression, Huo Qi wiped away a bitter tear. However, he had no idea that something worse was waiting for him at home.

…

After Song Yaoyao stepped out of the car, she didn’t get very far before the old man from earlier stopped her.

The old man grinned like a blooming flower with a kind expression. “Young lady, thank you for saving my life. What’s your name? Are you from Feng City?”

Song Yaoyao nodded her head, “Yes, my name is Song Yaoyao.”

“Father, we really need to thank her properly!” the middle-aged man said with gratitude as he supported his father.

“Of course, must you state the obvious?!”

The old man glared at him fiercely, but when he turned to look at Song Yaoyao, he immediately smiled. “Young lady, thank you. Let me give this to you as a gift. If you need my help in the future, you can find me at Yuhua Primary School.”

Song Yaoyao was gifted an old fountain pen from the old man’s shirt pocket which he obviously cherished.

Song Yaoyao’s eyes curved. When she smiled, she looked polite and gentle. “This isn’t necessary, Sir. I’m sure anyone that understands medicine would have helped in that situation.”

“Really?” the old man humphed as he shoved the fountain pen into Song Yaoyao’s hand. He then glanced at Song Jingwan and said in a dull manner, “You sisters are nothing alike. Your older sister…”

He shook his head and did not say anything else.

Song Yaoyao’s smile increased; she liked this old man’s personality.

As the old man looked at her, Song Jingwan felt so awkward, she wanted to dig a hole to hide in. Her eyes were red as she looked at Huo Ningxi beside her and whined unfairly, “Ningxi…”

Huo Ningxi sighed. He couldn’t bear to see her like this. “Don’t be sad. I know you meant well. Let’s go back to the car.”

If they stayed there, people would continue to criticize her and she would only feel worse.

When she heard what Huo Ningxi said, Song Jingwan felt a lot better. With teary eyes, she said softly, “Ningxi, thank you for believing me.”

The beauty’s appearance was elegant and delicate, and her eyes were misty. As she glanced at him, her eyes contained a sense of gratitude and inconcealable admiration.

Huo Ningxi’s heart fluttered and softened even further.

“Let’s go. Return and get some rest.”

However, Song Jingwan had other thoughts. She looked at Song Yaoyao and bit her lower lip. “Ningxi, I think Song Yaoyao has a deep misunderstanding toward me. If we don’t clarify it, my heart won’t be at peace. You go back to the car first. I’ll have a chat with her, okay?”

The sadness between her eyes made it impossible for Huo Ningxi to object.
