Chapter 1346: Angry (6)
"Okay," Dong Wenchao nodded vigorously, "Thank you, Xinxin." He was so thrilled he almost jumped up, not just because of the Medicine Pill but more so because of Yang Ruxin herself. To be on good terms with such a Divine Doctor was truly a fortune for the future. He was grateful that he had always heeded his grandfather’s teachings over the past years, never arrogant nor jealous of the main family branch, clearly aware of his own level and always amiable towards others. Otherwise, how could such an opportunity have arisen?
The others also showed hopeful expressions. Dong Fang was ninety years old, his mind still lucid though he had to lie down for all his daily needs, yet this girl said that the old man would be able to stroll around in half a month—that would be truly miraculous.
They all began to calculate inwardly, determined to curry favor with Miss Wenxiu in the days ahead—perhaps Ruxin would be delighted enough to gift them a Medicine Pill as well.
Dong Yun also wore a smug expression, thinking that after his cousin had received Medicine Pills, it should now be his turn, and the descendants of his branch also thought likewise. The elder had even planned that when the girl came with the medicine, he would sternly reprimand her before accepting it...
However, ideals are pleasant, but reality is cruel. After Yang Ruxin had given Dong Wenchao the Medicine Pill, she returned to her seat to eat, not even casting a glance at Dong Yun.
Dong Yun had waited a long time without seeing Yang Ruxin approach, his old face instantly turning a mottled mix of green and purple. It should be noted that he was the biological uncle of Dong Xun, closer in relation than the ninety-year-old Dong Fang. What was this Yang Ruxin doing? Couldn’t she distinguish between kin?
Dong Wenjiang was already holding a grudge against Yang Ruxin because his youngest son hadn’t been successfully adopted, but he didn’t dare to be the first to pick a fight with her. Thus, he could only prompt his grandfather to speak, casting a glance at Dong Yun, "Grandfather, what does Yang Ruxin mean by this? It’s clear she does not regard us well. To dismiss us is one thing, but you are an elder, even closer than Dong Wenchao’s branch. How can she ignore you like this? It must be deliberate..."
The others also started to complain.
Dong Yun’s face grew extremely unsightly, and he stood up and strode to the main table, "Dong Xun, is this what your good granddaughter does? Truly a bumpkin at heart, utterly lacking in manners..."
