Before Su Muwan could speak, Qin Luo seemed to have understood the meaning behind her silence.
After all, she didn't yet know about the favor he had done for her yesterday.
Perhaps she was already feeling touched and pleasantly surprised inside.
So, Qin Luo leaned in and whispered to Su Muwan: "Don't worry, Miss. This Long Dingtian truly wants to pledge his loyalty to us."
"Yesterday, I already recounted all of your impressive feats to him."
Impressive feats?? What impressive feats? Didn't you just slap him? Where did these impressive feats come from?
Can't you wish for something good for me?
A storm of emotions surged in Su Muwan's heart, but she couldn't say anything to Qin Luo.
After all, he was indeed trying to help her, although... this "help" would most likely lead to her demise in a rather ugly way.
Moreover, what exactly did Qin Luo do to make Long Dingtian, the head of the Long family in her previous life, join her ranks?
She couldn't ask about the current situation now, she'd have to wait until everyone left to inquire.
So, Su Muwan could only suppress the chaos in her heart and put on a slight smile, saying: "That's very thoughtful of you, Chairman Long."
Hearing this, Long Dingtian finally felt relieved, but there was still one thing that made him uneasy.
Did Miss Su know about his request?
So, he looked at Su Muwan expectantly, hoping for a definitive answer.
However...
Huh?
Why did Long Dingtian's gaze contain three parts expectation, two parts nervousness, four parts fear, and one part disappointment?
Su Muwan was bewildered. How could such a small glance convey so much complexity?
Did he have something else he wanted to ask?
What should I say??
On Qin Luo's side, he noticed Long Dingtian's unspoken request and stepped forward, waving his hand with a smile: "Long Dingtian, my lady is already aware of your request."
"As long as you serve loyally and effectively, my lady will help you ascend to that throne!"
Su Muwan quickly turned her head to look at Qin Luo, her eyes wide: ??!
Wait, what do I know?? Throne? What throne?
Long Dingtian, on the other hand, was completely reassured. He bowed deeply and said loudly: "Thank you, Young Miss!"
Whoosh!
Su Muwan looked back at Long Dingtian.
No! What are you thanking me for?!
Did I agree to anything?!
Can someone please tell me what on earth is going on??!
Why can't I get a word in edgewise?!
At this moment, Qin Luo leaned close to Su Muwan's ear and whispered: "Miss, I'll explain everything in detail after everyone leaves."
The warm breath on her earlobe made Su Muwan's heart flutter.
Her face reddened, and she quickly moved a step away, covering her left ear.
Wait, this is not the time to be embarrassed!
Su Muwan came to her senses and immediately turned to glare at Qin Luo.
This guy really did cause a lot of trouble for her outside!
Seeing that the matter was settled, Lin Wanrong also congratulated loudly: "Congratulations, Miss Su! With the support of the Antique City Association's chairman, Miss Su's path to becoming the head of the Su family is just around the corner! We will follow in Miss Su's footsteps and charge forward!"
No, no, no, you're exaggerating too much.
Why didn't Su Muwan notice in her previous life how strangely those sycophants around her spoke?
They would elevate her to the top of the pyramid, but when she was abandoned by everyone, they would all disappear without a trace.
Seeing that the situation had become too complex and volatile, Su Muwan also wanted to quickly end this complicated farce.
Just as she was about to nod and dismiss everyone...
"No!!!"
A passionate roar suddenly erupted.
Su Muwan was startled and looked over.
She saw that Xiao Tian, who had been doubting himself all along, suddenly roared with bloodshot eyes.
Qin Luo was also startled and immediately scolded: "You useless trash! What's wrong with you?! You'll pay if you scare my Young Miss!"
Su Muwan: .......→_→
Lin Wanrong's expression also changed, looking at Xiao Tian with displeasure: "Xiao Tian, what exactly do you want? I've already decided to divorce you!"
"No, Wanrong, you can't divorce me!" Xiao Tian's expression was bitter and pained. He clutched his chest and choked out: "For the past five years, I've worked diligently to help your Lin family."
"I've helped the Lin Group become a medium-sized enterprise in Jiang City, how can you just..."
Before he could finish speaking.
Slap!
Lin Wanrong angrily stepped forward and slapped Xiao Tian hard across the face. She berated him: "What?! The Lin Group's current scale is all thanks to my business acumen!"
"What does it have to do with a useless person like you?!"
"Say one more word, and I'll beat you until you can't take care of yourself!"
Qin Luo stood beside Su Muwan, watching with great interest, and muttered: "Tsk tsk, this Xiao Tian really is pitiful."
"How can he still endure after being beaten like this?"
Su Muwan also felt the same way, nodding in agreement: "Exactly, I thought it was ridiculous back then, and now it looks even more..."
As they were talking, Su Muwan and Qin Luo suddenly froze.
They looked at each other.
Qin Luo asked with uncertainty: "Miss?"
"Shut up and watch the show."
Su Muwan quickly interrupted, then turned her head to look at Xiao Tian's direction, pretending to be calm.
Oh no, oh no, why did I instinctively respond to him?
Qin Luo scratched his face, looking at Su Muwan suspiciously.
How strange, why is this big villain's behavior so different from the original story?
According to the original plot, this villain would directly insult Xiao Tian, saying things like [What's there to pity? He's just a useless son-in-law. Ending up like this is his own fault. Such trash would pollute the air even if he died] and other venomous remarks.
Why is she now... so strange...
Not sure, need to observe more.
Qin Luo continued to stare at Su Muwan with a suspicious gaze.
Meanwhile, Su Muwan kept pretending to be calm and watching Xiao Tian's side while enduring that burning gaze.
T^T, stop looking at me, please!
If you keep looking, I really won't be able to keep up this act!
I admit that my behavior is a bit different from my usual self!
But!
Isn't there a saying that goes like this!
My previous prickly demeanor was just a facade, I actually want to be a good person too!
Thinking of this, Su Muwan turned her head, glared at Qin Luo, and cursed in a low voice: "What are you looking at?! Keep staring and I'll gouge out your eyeballs!"
That's more like it.
Qin Luo smiled slightly and looked away: "Yes, Young Miss."
It seems he was overthinking things, this is indeed the villain from the original story.
Seeing that Qin Luo smiled with relief after being scolded, Su Muwan felt helpless inside.
No! What kind of fixed impression is this?!
You find it strange when I act like a good person, but you're relieved when I act like a villain??
Who can understand this? The prejudice against us villains these days is really too much!
On Xiao Tian's side, after being slapped dozens of times, the scene was coming to an end.
Even after being beaten so severely, Xiao Tian still refused to fight back and said seriously: "Wanrong! You can't divorce me! Because Old Master Lin still needs my treatment!"
"?!"
Lin Wanrong had just raised her hand but froze upon hearing these words.
"My grandfather?"
"Needs your treatment?"
Lin Wanrong felt as if she had just heard something particularly laughable.
Xiao Tian nodded and said: "That's right. By my calculations, it's time for Old Master Lin to receive treatment again."
"This time is crucial. After this treatment, Old Master Lin should be able to leave the hospital."
"Without me, no one in this world can treat your grandfather."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanrong laughed in anger. She looked at Xiao Tian: "Alright, alright, alright, so without you, my grandfather can't survive, is that it?!"
"Xiao Tian, let me tell you..."
Before she could finish speaking.
Ring ring ring!
A phone ringtone interrupted Lin Wanrong's words.
She frowned and looked at her phone.
It was a call from her mother.
"It seems Old Master Lin is not doing well."
At this moment, Xiao Tian seemed to already know something, and his entire demeanor began to become more confident.
Lin Wanrong frowned and answered the call.
Three seconds later.
"What?! Grandfather is in critical condition?!"
Lin Wanrong's expression changed drastically.
Su Muwan's expression also changed.
Here it comes.
The most crucial turning point from her previous life had arrived.
Qin Luo's lips also curled into a slight smile.
It's here.
The most critical turning point regarding the son-in-law dragon king in the original story has arrived.
This was also the first moment Xiao Tian displayed his abilities!
Lin Wanrong hung up the phone and turned to Su Muwan with a panicked expression: "Miss Su... my grandfather, he... he...."
Su Muwan nodded and said, "Go ahead. We'll discuss our cooperation later."
"Okay! Thank you, Miss."
Lin Wanrong nodded gratefully, then turned hesitantly to look at the confident Xiao Tian: "Xiao Tian, is what you said true?"
On Xiao Tian's side, seeing his wife finally show a pleading look, a surge of protectiveness welled up in his heart. He smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, leave it to me. The old man will be fine."
Just as Lin Wanrong was about to take Xiao Tian with her to the hospital,
Long Dingtian jumped out voluntarily, shouting, "Wait!"
"Miss Lin, don't be fooled by this useless person. If this good-for-nothing is lying, your grandfather may really have no chance of survival!"
Upon hearing this,
Lin Wanrong suddenly realized, yes, she shouldn't rush to seek help from just anyone.
If Xiao Tian, this useless person, was lying to deceive her, it might actually harm her grandfather.
So she turned to Long Dingtian and asked, "Does Chairman Long know of anyone else who can treat my grandfather?"
"Of course!"
Long Dingtian waved his hand grandly, pointing towards Qin Luo.
The latter also curved his lips into a smile and stepped forward.
Su Muwan's eyes widened, looking up at Qin Luo in disbelief.
?? Why are you getting involved?
Long Dingtian explained, "There's a world-class doctor right by Miss Su's side! Master Qin is this miraculous doctor!"
Su Muwan: ???
Wait, miraculous doctor?
Qin Luo nodded and smiled at Lin Wanrong, "Miss Lin, you can let me go along. If..."
He glanced at Xiao Tian and sneered, "If this useless person doesn't have the ability, I can still turn the tide and save the day."
Hearing this, Xiao Tian chuckled and shook his head without saying anything more.
In this world, apart from his Taichi Seven Needles, no one could treat Lin's grandfather.
Very well, let Wanrong see his true abilities.
Lin Wanrong felt relieved upon hearing this. She looked gratefully at Su Muwan and said, "Thank you, Miss Su!"
She knew that this must have been under Su Muwan's instruction.
"Ah... haha..."
Su Muwan forced out a stiff smile, "No need to thank me. Let's go together."
"Miss, how did I do?"
Qin Luo also retreated to Su Muwan's side, softly asking for praise.
Su Muwan looked up at him, her mouth twitching.
"Haha, you're... so great...."
Qin Luo! I must have a serious talk with you after this!!
Miraculous doctor! If you're a miraculous doctor, then I, Su Muwan, will take your surname!

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.
