At this moment, the others finally reacted; their facial expressions differed from one another.
Some were relieved, some darkened their faces, and others tried hard to look genuinely happy that the old man had survived.
"Heaven has eyes!"
"I told you, the old man has a good fate protected by Heaven."
"Thank you, Doctor Zhai, Doctor Zhai's medical skills are matchless!"
"If it weren't for Doctor Zhai, this might have been a close call."
The Qin family members began their act, seeming to have entirely forgotten that it was Lu Xiao who had saved Old Sir Qin, even crediting Zhai Tianmin entirely for the accomplishment.
Zhai Tianmin's cheeks burned with embarrassment; were they all selectively blind?
"It was clearly just..."
Zhai Tianmin was about to speak when he saw Lu Xiao shake his head.
"You are right! Doctor Zhai is incredibly brilliant!" the next second, Lu Xiao raised his hand and shouted.
This left the people of the Qin family a bit out of sorts—wasn't the lad going to fight for recognition? Why didn't he play by the usual rules?
At this moment, you should have defended your ground persistently, must have frantically claimed that you were the true hero; then we could continue to despise you, continue to belittle you.
Why did you also start praising Zhai Tianmin's medical skills?
But did you think this would allow you to slip away?
"Humph, if it weren't for the adrenaline being misinjected, the old man would have woken up much earlier."
"Exactly, there was no need to suffer all this."
"You're called Lu Xiao, right? Leave immediately, or else we're calling the police."
"Deliberately breaking medical supplies, suspect of attempted murder, even though it wasn't successful, you should still face a few years in jail."
Lu Xiao still underestimated how shameless these Qin family members could be. Just listen, are these even words one should say?
Of course, Lu Xiao also knew why they did this—it wasn't because they were stupid or blind, but purely malicious.
He had come as Qin Youling's boyfriend.
And now that he had saved Old Sir Qin, the boyfriend could very well become the husband.
Should Qin Youling marry while Old Sir Qin was still alive, the entire Qin family would fall into Qin Youling's hands.
So they had to snuff out this threat in its cradle.
"I dare you to try!" Qin Youling's eyes were icy cold.
Did she not know what the Qin family members were up to? They simply wanted to force Lu Xiao out.
As long as Lu Xiao left the old mansion, they could unscrupulously sabotage him.
"Once grandfather wakes up, I'll tell him everything that occurred today, word for word."
"Whether Lu Xiao has merits or faults, Grandfather will judge for himself."
"As for you, remember your own faces today." Qin Youling fired at full blast, her voice firm.
The Qin family members were all left speechless.
In the crowd, Qin Shengbin took a deep breath and nudged Qin Kai beside him.
"Kai, it's your turn."
Qin Kai turned to look at his old man. You're sending me in again? Did you forget how you just sold out your son at the door?
But Qin Kai knew, if Qin Youling and Lu Xiao really ended up together, none of them would end up well.
They had to drive Lu Xiao out, then discreetly make him disappear from Earth.
"Cousin, given Grandpa's condition, it will definitely take several days for him to recover."
"Do you plan to let your boyfriend stay over at the Qin Family Old Mansion?"
"You don't care about the Qin clan's rules at all, do you?"
Qin Kai's words also brightened the eyes of the others—Yes, the Qin family rules clearly state that non-family members cannot stay overnight in the old mansion.
A boyfriend, what kind of family member is that?
"Hahaha, just leave already!"
"Make yourself scarce, what sort of thing thinks it can stay at our Qin Family Old Mansion!"
"Clan rules can't be defied; no exceptions for anyone!"
Qin Youling looked at these so-called family members in front of her, seeing their victory-like smiles, and slowly pulled out a little red book from her bosom.
"Lu Xiao is my husband, the son-in-law of the Qin Family, how is he not a family member?"
"This is our marriage certificate with Lu Xiao, would you like to take a look?"
Seeing the bright red marriage certificate in Qin Youling's hands, the Qin family members were stunned again.
Especially the uncles of Qin Youling who had been silent all through, their complexions visibly darkened.
The news from the bar last night wasn't like this at all.
The message said that to reject Xu Tian, Qin Youling had randomly picked a customer to pretend to be her boyfriend.
How could it be that within just one day, they even got a marriage certificate!
If the old man hadn't made it through today, it wouldn't matter if Qin Youling got married or not; without Old Sir Qin's support, Qin Youling would be nothing.
But just now, the old man had just about gotten out of danger.
This was troublesome.
"Fine, let me have a look," Qin Kai, who had circled around to her side at some point, snatched the marriage certificate from Qin Youling's hands.
After glancing over it, a cold glint flickered in Qin Kai's eyes.
He was nearly certain that the marriage certificate was genuine.
Moreover, Qin Youling wouldn't be foolish enough to present a fake one, as that could be easily verified.
"Done looking? Give it back to me." Qin Youling frowned slightly, feeling that Qin Kai was up to no good.
Qin Kai looked up, his eyes gleaming with mockery: "All done, nowadays people making fake certificates are really running rampant."
After saying that, Kai clasped the marriage certificate by both ends and ripped it apart with a loud tear.
"Qin Kai, what are you doing!"
"Sister, seriously, you make a fake certificate to fool ghosts!" As he spoke, Qin Kai also pulled out a lighter from his pocket and lit it up.
In just a few seconds, the marriage certificate was completely consumed by flames.
