After the injured muscles and tendons in his leg had recovered, twenty minutes had passed. Zhou Xuan withdrew his hand and sat down in a chair, panting heavily.
Li Tao and the others were all staring at him, wondering what the outcome would be. Zhou Xuan didn't speak, and Li Tao himself didn't dare to move rashly, otherwise, if something happened, no one knew what the consequences would be.
Fu Zheng didn't know how her husband was doing either. Li Tao didn't dare to move or speak, and she herself didn't dare to speak either, because the miraculous healing of her left leg had left her speechless, and she was filled with hope.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Zhou Xuan was just panting. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk, but he was really tired, too tired to speak.
Fu Zheng watched Zhou Xuan apply the medicine, but didn't do anything else. How could he be so tired? But she could also tell that Zhou Xuan was really exhausted, and it didn't seem like he was faking it.
Zhou Xuan rested for at least five minutes before catching his breath. He then wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled, saying, "Second Uncle, your leg injury is mainly due to this medicine. You're really lucky. This medicine is a secret recipe of my master, and it has a particularly strong effect on sprains and bruises. There's only a little left!"
Li Tao only heard Zhou Xuan say that he was lucky and the medicine was good, but he didn't hear anything about his leg injury.
Chapter 195 Bonds
Johnny's back?
Fu Tianlai's face immediately darkened. He flicked his sleeve and said, "I'm a little tired. I'm going to my room to rest. No one is allowed to disturb me!"
After saying that, he went back to his room with a sullen face. Fu Zheng and Li Tao felt that their father was acting a little strange, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it. However, since they were still immersed in the excitement of their foot injury being completely healed, they didn't say anything. And since they hadn't seen their eldest sister for a long time, they said, "Dad, didn't you say that eldest sister and Johnny went abroad? Why didn't you come in after you came back?"
Fu Ying and Zhou Xuan exchanged a glance. Zhou Xuan shook his head. Then he looked at Li Junjie, who was also looking at the two of them. He immediately understood that the old man Fu Yuhai was also present. If the truth were to be told, it would be a big deal if something happened to the old man!
Zhou Xuan definitely didn't have a good impression of Johnny, especially after this incident. As the Chinese saying goes, "Old habits die hard." Someone like Johnny, capable of harming his own family, is just empty talk about regret and promises now. Given the chance, he would definitely do it again.
However, it's not up to Zhou Xuan to decide what to do. This is a matter for the Fu family. He is not the master of the Fu family. In his opinion, Johnny is no different from Ito. No matter how good you are to him, he will always be a wolf.
Fu Tianlai left without saying a word. Fu Ying was worried that her grandmother and second aunt would find out and expose her, so she quickly ran out. Outside the gate, Johnny looked disheveled, with a full beard, and was no longer the dashing man he used to be.
Aunt Fu Cen sat on the stone steps, her face ashen, disregarding her appearance.
As soon as Fu Ying came out, Fu Cen quickly stood up and said, "Yingying..."
Fu Ying glared at Johnny first. No matter what, he was the murderer who framed her parents and herself. But seeing Johnny's disheveled appearance, she couldn't bring herself to be ruthless. After all, they were cousins who grew up together, and their childhood bond made her soften.
He sighed. Then he said, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place!"
Johnny opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything.
Fu Cen asked, "Yingying, where is Grandpa?"
Fu Ying shook her head and sighed, "Auntie, Grandpa hasn't seen you. He's already gone back to his room. Second Aunt and Uncle have also come. They don't know, and Grandpa doesn't know either. Grandpa is old and can't handle stress. Grandpa definitely won't calm down right now. Let's wait until he calms down before we talk about it!"
Johnny's face was filled with disappointment. He thought of the doting love his grandfather had shown him before, a stark contrast to his current situation. He was also thinking about how his position at the company had been revoked, his income cut off, and even the shares his grandfather had gifted him were gone. His mother's benefits had also been cancelled. Their status within the family was already low; they had little financial resources. This exposure had plunged him to the very bottom. His usual pride had been instantly shattered; the change was too much for him to bear.
Fu Ying noticed that Johnny's expression was somewhat unwilling, and she felt a surge of anger. He could be so ruthless to his own family. The current outcome was already the greatest leniency her grandfather could show him!
"Auntie, you'd better hurry up and leave. If Auntie comes out, she might give herself away. It's best to keep this kind of thing a secret; family scandals shouldn't be aired in public!"
Fu Ying said coldly, "It's better not to think about it, because I can't help but get angry when I think about it. My parents were almost killed by Johnny, and in the end, he even set a trap to frame my grandfather and me. How can I not be angry?"
After Fu Ying finished speaking, she went inside. Fu Cen sighed, reached out and pulled Johnny along, his steps a little unsteady. Johnny was reluctant to leave, but Fu Cen said angrily, "You brat, are you trying to drive me crazy?!"
After Fu Cen pulled Johnny away, Fu Zheng waited for her older sister for a long time but she didn't come out. She ran out on her own, but she didn't see her. She muttered to herself in confusion and went back into the house.
Zhou Xuan, having exhausted a lot of energy treating Li Tao's leg, said to Fu Yuhai, "Grandpa, I'm really tired today. I can barely keep my eyes open. I'll take a nap and play chess with you again when I feel better. Otherwise, I won't be happy if I lose; I was going to win..."
Fu Yuhai chuckled and said, "You're no match for Grandpa. Go to sleep now. You'll be more alert and accept your defeat more readily. It wouldn't be fair for me to win now. Go on!" Although Fu Yuhai's eyesight was failing, he could still see Zhou Xuan's fatigue. He must have been exhausted from treating Li Tao's leg. Although it didn't look like much effort had been put into it, the mental strain of healing such a serious leg injury was unimaginable!
Zhou Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and told his second aunt and uncle. Fu Zheng and Li Tao were both grateful and fond of Zhou Xuan at this time, so they didn't say anything negative and urged him to go and rest. They also asked Aunt Yu to cook some good food for Zhou Xuan to eat after he woke up.
Zhou Xuan went upstairs to sleep, and Fu Ying pulled him upstairs by the hand. Fu Zheng laughed and scolded, "This girl, how can she not know any manners? Doesn't she know how to be shy!"
Fu Ying, with her straightforward and honest personality, never imagined the hidden meaning in her second aunt's words. She only cared about Zhou Xuan and wanted to chat with him for a while before coming down.
Li Junjie scratched his head, smiled, and followed her upstairs. Fu Zheng said angrily, "Junjie, you silly boy. What are you doing following me?"
Li Junjie ignored his mother and hurriedly followed her upstairs. Fu Ying turned around, glared at him, and said, "Cousin, what are you doing?"
Li Junjie originally wanted to talk to Zhou Xuan privately about wanting some medicine, but he wouldn't say it if his cousin was around. Zhou Xuan needed to sleep and rest, and his cousin would eventually leave. He would talk to Zhou Xuan secretly after he left.
However, after glaring at him, Fu Ying said, "It's nothing, I just want to chat with Zhou Xuan!"
"Can't you see how tired he is? What's the point of chatting?" Fu Ying snorted, then glared and said, "Just making a mess!"
Li Junjie covered his eyes and said, "I got sand in my eye yesterday, it hurts, I wanted to ask Zhou Xuan to treat it!"
"You...get out!" Fu Ying was both ashamed and angry, and immediately turned around to push Li Junjie away angrily.
It seems Li Junjie won't be able to get it done today. He'll try to find another opportunity to do it later. Given Zhou Xuan's easygoing nature, there shouldn't be any major problems. After all, he's the cousin Zhou Xuan still has to please.
Zhou Xuan made a helpless gesture to Li Junjie, who then raised his hands in surrender to Fu Ying. As he walked downstairs, he said, "Okay, okay, cousin, I'll go, I'll go, alright?"
Even after they reached the room on the third floor, Fu Ying still followed them in angrily. Zhou Xuan lay on the bed, staring at Fu Ying with a slight smile.
"Why are you smiling so sinisterly?" Fu Ying asked, frowning, still annoyed by what Li Junjie had done earlier.
"About last night, hehe!" Zhou Xuan said with a grin, "I want to continue!"
"What happened last night?" Fu Ying was taken aback, but immediately understood. Her face flushed red, and she said angrily, "You..."
After blushing, her embarrassed and annoyed expression disappeared. Remembering her embarrassing moment last night, she immediately became shy again, even feeling a little hopeful. However, recalling what her second aunt had said to her and her expression, she immediately understood. She covered her face and ran out. This time, thankfully, she didn't bump her forehead.
Zhou Xuan smiled, then lay down to sleep. Fu Ying was good in every way, except that she was too shy!
Because she had just treated her second aunt's husband Li Tao's leg and was really tired, Fu Ying ran out shyly and had no other mood. She fell asleep easily after lying down.
When I woke up again in the morning, I stretched and suddenly realized there was someone in the room. I was startled and quickly pulled the covers up. I looked closely and saw that it was Li Junjie. I said angrily, "Cousin, what are you doing? You can scare people to death!"
