Only Bai Qingzhu and Xiao Lijin remained, when Mayor Gong said with a chuckle, "Qingzhu's return seems to be something Lijin knew early on, there must be some connection!"
This old man's eyes were too sharp!
"Grandfather, I simply treated Madam Xiao's illness," she said.
"Oh, I've heard about it, but I didn't expect that person to be you. You've seen how chaotic things have been at home lately; there was no time to care about external affairs. But now that you've returned, I'll arrange a welcome-back treat for you another day," he responded.
"Grandfather, you don't need to be so formal with me; it will take some more time to completely clear this poison from your system."
He sighed, "My foolish son must have thought this drug would just temporarily put me into a coma and nothing more. He has no idea that actually…"
Bai Qingzhu, of course, understood.
"Alright, let's drop it. It's getting late, everyone should head back!"
"Okay, Grandfather, you should get some rest!"
