Xia Yanyu felt like she was facing an extremely difficult multiple-choice question...

Handling the Xia Family's affairs for her father was the last task he had entrusted her with before he disappeared, and she didn't want to let her father down.

If she transferred twenty percent of the company shares to Xia Bodang today, it would undoubtedly be tantamount to giving up the position of Family Head in a roundabout way.

Xia Yanyu was very unwilling to do so.

Yet on the other hand was her own biological younger sister...

Xia Yanyu's intuition told her that at this moment, if she wanted to save her sister, the only option was to agree to Xia Bodang's terms.

For a while, she was caught between a rock and a hard place.

"Hmm, let me go in and take a look,"

At this time, Xu Fan stepped forward, and Xia Yanyu, hearing his words, was taken aback.

"Xu Fan, what did you say?"

Xu Fan gave Xia Yanyu a glance and smiled, "I said, let me in, I can cure Xiaodie's poison."

"Haha, kid, what are you talking about?"

Xia Bodang couldn't help but laugh out loud. Xu Fan's confident appearance made him seem all the more like a clown to him.

"I'm saying, you're just a menial worker responsible for buying groceries, and you can cure poison? Please, don't take on the work of porcelain without a diamond bit, okay?"

The people around heard him and came over one after another.

Hearing that Xu Fan wanted to take action to save Xia Xiaodie, they couldn't help but snicker.

"This guy, just a menial grocery shopper, and he wants to play the hero to save the beauty?"

"Heh heh, just with what he's got, he should know his own weight..."

Hearing the mockery from the crowd, Yi Qiu couldn't help but hum smugly. He stepped out from the crowd and said, "Miss, you must absolutely not fall for this guy's nonsense."

"Heaven knows whether this guy wants to save the Second Miss or harm her."

"Indeed."

Seeing that Xia Yanyu was somewhat hesitant, Zhao Yunfeng also stood up and joined in.

"Miss Xia, this Xu Fan is just a menial worker. Apart from his slick talking, I don't see any other merits in him. I suggest you not gamble with your sister's life."

Almost nobody present believed in Xu Fan. Their back and forth comments made Xia Yanyu feel very distressed.

On one hand, she was unwilling to compromise with Xia Bodang just like that, and on the other, she was uncertain about Xu Fan's capabilities...

"Miss Xia, I think you can let Xu Fan try..."

At that moment, Qin Mengyue stepped forward.

Looking at her face, which was filled with determination, she seemed to have a lot of trust in Xu Fan.

Seeing this, Zhao Yunfeng, standing by, clenched his fists tightly, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

"Meng Yue, do you realize that you're joking with Xia Xiaodie's life? This guy, he's nothing more than a menial worker..."

"Zhao Yunfeng, I know what I'm doing,"

Facing Zhao Yunfeng's warning, Qin Mengyue was indifferent. She had once seen Xu Fan administer acupuncture to Mu Xiaoduo at the hospital.

She had complete faith in Xu Fan's medical skills.

Qin Mengyue's insistence touched Xia Yanyu somewhat. After a brief hesitation, she looked over at Xu Fan.

"Xu Fan, are you confident?"

"Of course."

Seeing Xu Fan's confident response, Xia Yanyu nodded and then said, "Alright then, I'm relying on you from here on out."

"Miss Xia! Are you sure you want this menial worker to save your sister?"

Xia Yanyu now seemed to be quite set on not compromising with her own uncle, and Xia Bodang instantly became anxious!

He coldly looked at Xia Yanyu and snorted, "Xia Xiaodie is your own younger sister. Are you really prepared to gamble with her life?"

Xia Yanyu let out a cold laugh and said, "Uncle, I'm confident in handling my sister's situation. I believe if she were awake right now, she wouldn't agree to me compromising with certain people who disregard family ties."

"Xu Fan, there's no time to lose, get in there quickly."

Xia Yanyu had set her heart on taking a gamble on Xu Fan, and at this moment, she couldn't be bothered to look at Xia Bodang anymore and started urging him directly.

"Mm, come in with me. Everyone else, wait outside."

Xu Fan nodded his head, and immediately drove everyone out of Xia Xiaodie's room.

With a bang, the bedroom door closed, and Xia Yanyu visibly relaxed.

She looked very tired at this moment, and Xu Fan, watching from the side, couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.

He was accustomed to seeing her as a strong, capable woman, and Xu Fan had almost come to believe that she was indeed an unmelting iceberg.

Now, however, it was clear that no matter how beautiful or high her status might be, she was still a woman at the end of the day.

He figured that she must have gone through a lot over the years, especially dealing with people like Xia Bodang, and it was impressive how she had held on until now.

"Cough cough, do you need me to give you a loving hug?"

As he walked up to Xia Yanyu, Xu Fan opened his arms and asked.

Unfortunately, Xia Yanyu seemed somewhat averse to Xu Fan's comfort at this moment.

Reverting to her previous icy demeanor as if flipping a switch, she gave Xu Fan a cold look and said, "Xu Fan, please show some respect."

Although the door was now closed, one could still hear the voices of people outside.

Every single one of them doubted the decision she was making at this moment...

Xia Yanyu took a deep breath and looked at Xu Fan earnestly.

"Xu Fan, I hope you won't disappoint me."

"Don't worry, after all, the person lying there is my wife in name."

Xu Fan winked at Xia Yanyu and then walked over to Xia Xiaodie.

Xia Xiaodie's appearance at the moment was truly pitiable.

Seeing this, Xu Fan couldn't help but frown, silently swearing to himself that he would make the person responsible for the poisoning pay!

Gripping Xiaodie's hand, Xu Fan began to take her pulse.

Fortunately, Xiaodie's pulse was weak but not completely stopped.

After transmitting his True Qi into Xiaodie's body, Xu Fan took out a pack of Silver Needles that he had in his embrace.

"Bring me a cup."

After instructing Xia Yanyu, Xu Fan's hands moved like lightning as he picked up several Silver Needles.

Activating the golden light in his right pupil, the clothes on Xia Yanyu's body started to fade from Xu Fan's view, revealing her pale body.

Soon, Xu Fan's gaze was able to penetrate Xia Xiaodie's meridians.

"Hmph, truly malicious!"

Peering into Xia Xiaodie's internal condition and recognizing the poison she had been afflicted with, Xu Fan's eyes suddenly turned colder.

But the poison was not enough to stump Xu Fan. Inserting the Silver Needles into various major acupoints on Xia Xiaodie's body, Xu Fan started to mobilize his Inner Strength to gather the scattered poison throughout her body.

With the skills of the Smoke Jade Resuscitation Needle combined with the Perspective Pupil that Xu Fan had activated, this was not difficult.

After aggregating the poison within Xia Xiaodie's body, Xu Fan pressed his hand on her body and used his Inner Strength to force the poison towards the palm of his hand.

"Bring the cup."

All that was needed now was to extract the poison from the body, and Xia Xiaodie would be out of danger. Xu Fan took the cup that Xia Yanyu handed to him and with a light stroke of his finger, he opened a cut on Xia Xiaodie's delicate jade-like finger.

Drip... drip...

Under the force of his Inner Strength, dark blood continuously flowed from the wound, filling half the cup before Xia Xiaodie's blood turned bright red.

"Phew... it's done..."

His wife's life was now safe, and after wiping the sweat from his forehead, Xu Fan turned to look at Xia Yanyu.

Xia Yanyu was somewhat stunned; she looked blankly at Xu Fan, then blankly at the wall clock beside her.

"This... it's done already?"
