Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1646: Chapter 1630: Resigned

Huang Zhenlong had an embarrassed look on his face, seeing that Qin Lianshan still wanted to say something, he hurriedly waved his hand in surrender:

”Alright, alright, just pretend I didn’t say anything. I really don’t have those ulterior motives you mentioned, I just... simply think it’s such a waste for her to leave these things collecting dust in a warehouse.”

Su Zhongqing chuckled from the side: ”Director, you definitely feel it’s a waste, but if these things hadn’t been brought back, wouldn’t they still be hiding on that peninsula in England?”

”For us old folks, it’s already a blessing to witness so many precious cultural relics return to the country and even touch them with our own hands in our lifetime. We shouldn’t morally coerce Miss Huo into making sacrifices for cultural dissemination. Her effort to bring these things back is already an outstanding achievement.”

Huang Zhenlong nodded, absorbing Su Zhongqing’s words, showing a remorseful expression: ”I was being obsessed, girl, your grandfather Huang was confused, don’t hold it against me.”

Huo Sining smiled and said, ”Not at all. No matter what, your intentions are good, absolutely for the benefit of the public, not out of selfish motives. It’s the people’s fortune to have a director like you at the Forbidden City.”

Having been busy for so long, along with not sleeping all night and rushing back from London, flying for hours, Huo Sining’s nerves were taut. Once she relaxed, a wave of fatigue naturally hit her.

Of course, the elderly gentlemen noticed Huo Sining’s poor state and hurriedly said, ”Now that everything has returned safely, there’s nothing more to worry about. Miss Huo, you should go and rest. We can talk about anything else another day.”

Huo Sining nodded and followed Gu Xu back to the villa.

After settling Su Qingqing and the others, she collapsed onto the bed, not responding even when Gu Xu called her.

Gu Xu had no choice but to act on his own, hurriedly setting up hot water, and then carrying his wife to the bathroom to give her a bath in a flurry.

Huo Sining, dozing off, didn’t even bother to open her eyes and let Gu Xu handle everything. The bath made her body feel comfortable, and once back in bed, she fell straight into sleep.

Listening to the soft snores of the little woman on the bed, Gu Xu’s eyes were filled with affection. Finally, his gaze landed on his wife’s rising and falling abdomen, his eyes slightly darkening.

She slept an entire night, not waking up until ten in the morning the next day.

Others also knew that Huo Sining had been busy all night at Albert Castle, so no one disturbed her. Early in the morning, Su Qingqing took Miss Yue and Zhong Xiaoyao to Panjiayuan to find Wu Jun and Li Quan. Meanwhile, Gu Xu didn’t rush to the company, instead working from the bedroom after returning to the Imperial Capital.

When Huo Sining woke up, she saw a handsome side profile and heard Gu Xu quietly discussing something with the company. It all felt so peaceful and serene to her.

After having brunch, Huo Sining remembered something: ”Yesterday I saw that Master Qin looked quite well in spirits, but since I’m back, I should go check on him again. I’m still not quite at ease unless I see for myself whether his illness is fully cured.”

Gu Xu nodded: ”Alright, then let’s go visit the Qin Family first.”

At the Qin Family, Qin Haiyan warmly welcomed them. It was good timing for Huo Sining, as she bumped into Nie Dechang, who had come to help Master Qin with rehabilitation, just as she entered the Qin Family’s hall.

”Professor Nie, you’re here too?” Huo Sining had a good impression of Nie Dechang, so she greeted him with a smile.

But she still found it odd. Previously at Yulong Mountain, Qin Lianshan’s illness had always been handled by the expert group, led by Zhao Hongru. Given Zhao Hongru’s personality, he wouldn’t let go of the credit, let alone allow Nie Dechang, a Chinese medicine practitioner, to treat Master Qin.

Seeing Huo Sining, Nie Dechang’s eyes brightened, and he responded happily, ”Miss Huo, you are also here to see the old master.”

Huo Sining nodded: ”Yes, Professor Nie, how is Master Qin’s condition now?”

”It’s really a miracle in the medical field. The medicine you gave the old master last time had a remarkable effect. After expelling those black substances, the cancer cells were gone, and over time, the damaged organs in his body are recovering. Not only I, but all the doctors at Yulong Mountain are amazed.”

Huo Sining said with a smile, ”It’s good that Master Qin’s illness is cured. It’s just a pity that crafting that medicine is very difficult, and some of the medicinal herbs are extremely hard to find, so this effective treatment can’t be widely used.”

Nie Dechang nodded: ”I understand. My mentor mentioned before that many of the ancient prescriptions in Shu Jun’s Herbal Collection have very peculiar names for herbs, which most people have never heard of. Gathering these herbs is even more challenging.”

Nie Dechang was indeed different from that Zhao Hongru, and hearing his words, Huo Sining’s impression of this old Chinese medicine doctor improved significantly. At least this person wasn’t greedy for wealth or fame, and such a person is a true doctor dedicated to helping the world.

Recalling how Qin Lianshan’s treatment at the gate of Yulong Mountain had been intercepted by Zhao Hongru, and those grand words he said, followed by his ugly face when things fell apart, Huo Sining couldn’t help but feel a wave of revulsion.

She glanced at Nie Dechang and couldn’t resist asking, ”Professor Nie, wasn’t Dr. Zhao in charge of Master Qin’s treatment before? Why are you here this time?”

Nie Dechang was taken aback, then revealed a bit of disdain and contempt in his eyes: ”Are you asking about Zhao Hongru? He left Yulong Mountain some time ago.”

”Left? Why?” Huo Sining asked in confusion.

”Who knows. He got hit by a car and broke his leg, then used convalescence as an excuse to resign from the hospital.”

”But I heard he’s recently set up some kind of lab to research special cancer treatments and is buying up expensive herbs everywhere. They say he’s almost broke because of it. I think he’s really lost it, living all these years for nothing.”

Upon hearing Nie Dechang’s words, Huo Sining was immediately taken aback.
