Shi Qi has always been a logical thinker, and he quickly deduced the whole story from Ming Xiao's words.

"No wonder Mrs. Lin was so kind today, suddenly sending us flowers. Turns out she had ulterior motives—she wanted to poison us!"

"If Zhizhi hadn't accidentally drunk it today and fallen ill, shielding my mom from harm, I wouldn't even know when my mom was poisoned and died! Get out of here!"

Upon hearing this, the old men present all gasped and began to whisper among themselves.

"I remember that old man from the Lin family also knows a bit about pharmacology, right?"

"So many years have passed, how can she still hold a grudge against the Shi family? That's too vicious."

"This is practically murder...tsk tsk tsk, poor little girl, she's suffering so much..."

Shi Qi was too lazy to waste words with Old Master Lin and simply pushed him out of the Shi family.

Don't mention any misunderstandings or coincidences to him; there's no such thing as a coincidence in the world!

After being kicked out, Old Master Lin came to his senses and stormed towards the Lin family villa.

After Mingxiao administered acupuncture to Shen Zhi, Shen Zhi's condition gradually improved, and the Shi family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Shi family looked at Mingxiao with gratitude, tears streaming down their faces.

"Thank you, Dr. Ming. If anything were to happen to Zhizhi, I wouldn't know how to explain it to her parents."

Mingxiao never expected that she would encounter such a thing when she was just visiting for a meal.

The Lin family is so vicious that they wouldn't even spare a five-year-old child.

Someone like that wants to study medicine?

I'm afraid they'll learn it just to kill people!

What's even more ridiculous is that the Lin family even instigated Lu Weiwei to feign illness and frame the Shi family.

Before long, the Lin couple arrived again, making a ruckus.

Old Madam Lin was dragged to the Shi family's door by Old Master Lin, who forced her to go in and apologize.

Behind them, Madam Lu and Lin Zhu each held a child and followed, trying to persuade them, making for quite a lively scene.

Old Master Lin's eyes blazed with fury: "Go inside and kowtow to apologize!"

Mrs. Lin insisted that she hadn't done it on purpose, her eyes bloodshot as she glared at Old Master Lin: "No!"

"It's Yang Yurou's bad luck, what does it have to do with me!"

Old Madam Lin's eyes were filled with deep hatred:

"I haven't even complained about the pastries the Shi family gave Weiwei, which caused her severe diarrhea! If anyone should apologize, it's the Shi family!"

She's just a pity.

Unfortunately, such a good plan was seen through, and they failed to kill her directly.

She's so old and still clinging to her old man, she's shameless!

Lu Weiwei, with her sharp eyes, noticed her grandmother giving her a meaningful look, and cleverly clutched her stomach and began to cry:

"Grandpa... please stop scolding Grandma, Weiwei's tummy hurts so much..."

Old Master Lin paused in his furious expression, and just as he was wondering what was going on, Mingxiao came out from inside.

The woman's cold gaze swept indifferently over Lu Weiwei's family, and a soft scoff escaped her throat:

"Have you had enough of acting?"

"If I, as a doctor, can't even tell when a child is faking illness, I don't deserve to be a professor."

Meeting Ming Xiao's disdainful gaze, Madam Lu, who had remained silent until now, panicked and stubbornly retorted:

"Professor Ming, what are you talking about? Is that girl from the Shen family faking illness?"

Even someone as good-tempered as Mingxiao would find it hard to keep up with such a shameless family.

It was impossible not to make sarcastic remarks:

"With such a talent for acting, why did Mrs. Lu raise her son to be a doctor? Wouldn't it be better for him to be an actor?"

These words marked a complete breakdown in relations.

Old Master Lin understood, and his anger intensified even more.

He raised his arm high and slapped it hard across Old Madam Lin's face: "You wicked woman!"

"Not only are you harming people yourself, but you're also getting Weiwei to lie with you! Are you trying to ruin them?!"

At first, Mrs. Lu spoke up for her mother, but later, realizing that the problem had escalated, she shrank back like a quail.

Ming Xiao looked at the group with cold eyes and said firmly:

"From this day forward, I clearly state that I am severing all ties with the Lin family!"

"Furthermore, I absolutely will not allow anyone of questionable character to enter Mingli Medical College and become a doctor, thus tarnishing medicine!"

Mingxiao looked at Lu Yufeng meaningfully, and his words completely shattered Lu Yufeng's delusions.

Mrs. Lu was completely dumbfounded.

As Mingxiao once said, no matter how outstanding or talented Lu Yufeng is, no hospital in the entire country will want him.

She didn't know why things had turned out this way...

Is your child's future ruined?

Mrs. Lu felt unprecedented regret.

If I hadn't listened to her mother and sister and hadn't tried to frame Madam Shi, would I have avoided ruining Feng'er's future?

Lu Yufeng, who was holding Madam Lu's hand, suddenly shook her off.

Her own son glared at her with disgust and resentment, gritting his teeth as he said:

"It's all your fault! It's all your fault!!"

Shen Zhi felt a little regretful.

Unfortunately, she is still very weak and can only secretly listen to the noises outside the house, instead of going to the door to eat melons.

However, she was still very happy that Lu Yufeng would never be able to become a doctor in his life.

She had previously observed Lu Yufeng's talent; aside from his medical skills, his other abilities were quite mediocre.

At the very least, Lu Yufeng will never again be able to use her as a test subject for drugs.

Shen Zhi didn't show it on her face, but in her heart, she was humming a little tune and tiptoed around several times.

But out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Old Madam Shi with red, swollen eyes from crying, and she froze instantly.

The old lady knelt on the ground, clasped her hands together, and prayed towards the Buddha statue:

"God, I'd rather suffer myself than see my precious granddaughter take the blame for me..."

Grandpa Shi stood to the side, his eyes also red, and gently patted his wife's shoulder: "Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault, it's the Lin family who are too vicious."

"How can you not blame me!" Old Madam Shi suddenly raised her head, tears blurring her vision. "I knew perfectly well that Old Madam Lin had always been jealous of me, yet I still accepted her gifts... It's my fault that Zhizhi is in trouble..."

She became increasingly distressed as she spoke, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Shi Qi called Shi Yue from one side, and even from this distance, it wasn't hard to hear the anxiety on the other end.

Shen Zhi lay on the sofa, every word her grandmother said piercing her heart like needles.

This unfamiliar emotion was something she had never experienced in her past and present lives combined.

Shen Zhi bit her lower lip, her eyes uncontrollably reddening.

She had to admit that she hated the Lu family.

She wanted the Lu family dead.

They want to see them all suffer the consequences of their actions and be disgraced.

Even if it means getting hurt...

But she forgot that she was now Shen Zhi, the little princess cherished by the Shen family, and the granddaughter treasured by the Shi family.

If she gets even a little hurt, they will blame themselves and feel even worse than she does.

A steady stream of energy flowed into the jade gourd in her chest, but this time, Shen Zhi felt an unusual heaviness.

Shen Zhi sniffed, laboriously raised her small hand, and reached towards the old lady's position, her voice extremely weak:

"Grandma...don't cry..."

When Madam Shi saw that Shen Zhi had woken up, she immediately wiped away her tears and held her hand tightly:

"Zhizhi, how are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"

"I'm fine, Grandma," Shen Zhi smiled, her face still pale, but her eyes were incredibly clear. "It's Zhizhi's own fault for being greedy, it has nothing to do with Grandma."

Shen Zhi paused, then said earnestly, "From now on, Zhizhi will listen to Grandma and won't take medicine randomly anymore..."

Looking at her granddaughter's sensible manner, Madam Shi felt both heartache and relief, and nodded heavily: "Good, good, our Zhizhi is the best."

Shen Zhi closed her eyes, her heart filled with complex emotions, as if she had let go of something yet also gained something else.

It seems she has found something more important than revenge...

It is pure love.

Shen Zhi longed to get closer, and the people inside were extending olive branches to her in a frenzy.

But does she, reborn with such hatred, really deserve to be loved?

Shen Zhi's consciousness faded, and she could no longer withstand the effects of the medicine and fell asleep.

She slept straight through until noon the next day.
