Chapter 1037: Change of Plan
"Then, in your opinion, will Da Zhong take advantage of the young master and deliberately cause him to have health problems?"
Xiao Jincheng also considered this possibility, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was unlikely.
"No, I can see that he truly loves Xuan'er and won't hurt him just for his own ends. Xuan'er's illness this time is most likely genuine."
"So what should we do? How should we proceed with the plan?"
After thinking it over carefully, Xiao Jincheng said, "Proceed as usual. We should remain constant in the face of ever-changing circumstances."
The attendant took Xiao Jincheng's words to heart and knew what to do next. However, before leaving, the attendant hesitated for a moment, but still expressed the doubts in his heart.
"Master, do you think we have received false information?"
A glimmer of light flashed in his dark eyes, and Xiao Jincheng asked, "Why do you say that?"
"I don't think there's such a coincidence! We're about to leave for America, so why would he get sick at this exact moment? If Da Zhong really wanted to complete his plan, with his abilities, he would definitely be able to restore the young master to normal and deceive us. Why would he take the initiative to disclose the young master's illness? It wouldn't benefit him in any way!"
"Just now you said that Da Zhong was retreating to advance. But if he really wanted to do that, he would have had plenty of opportunities. Why wait until you started to suspect him? So I think all this is too strange and worth a closer look. Oh, and I heard that Miss Lilith and Da Zhong have some 'friendship'. Perhaps we can ask Miss Lilith to help investigate."
Xiao Jincheng knew the meaning of this "friendship" and couldn't help but look back at his followers and asked, "Do you have a grudge against Lilith?"
He lowered his head and said nervously, "I dare not. I am only loyal to you, sir. I said this for the sake of you and the Xiao family!"
Xiao Jincheng looked at his attendant's serious expression and said, "You're too nervous. I was just asking casually."
Just a casual question? If you really believed Xiao Jincheng's casual question, you would definitely die without knowing how!
The followers were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats, but they didn't dare to show anything.
Seeing his follower's panicked expression, Xiao Jincheng felt completely bored. He was surrounded by too many people who appeared loyal to him, seemingly loyal to him, but each of them had their own agenda.
In comparison, people like Da Zhong are rare and even more precious. He is very smart and knows which qualities in himself can bring him benefits, and he uses them to his advantage. Even if those who are schemed by him know that he has bad intentions, they can only endure it temporarily for the sake of their own interests.
This kind of smart person can not only save his own life, but also survive in various environments. He is truly a perfect subordinate. If this person can be used for his own purposes and let him assist Xuan'er, then it would be perfect!
But how can we keep the clock?
When Xiao Jincheng was thinking hard, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something.
……
Xuan'er had previously vowed that he would not take Da Zhong's medicine, but he didn't expect that after just one day, his bold words became ridiculous empty talk. In order to recover quickly, he could only drink various medicines every day, which made him smell like Chinese medicine.
Xuan'er pinched his nose and drank another bowl. He appeared calm on the surface, but he was complaining in his heart.
Seeing Xuan'er's depressed look, Da Zhong couldn't help but smile wickedly and said, "Xuan'er, if you feel bitter, tell Uncle Da Zhong and I'll get you some candy."
Xuan Er refused with a cold expression, "Candy is for girls, I don't want it. And this stuff isn't bitter at all, I can drink another bowl!"
This little brat really cares about his reputation!
Da Zhong shook his head in amusement and was about to put away the soup bowl when he heard the sound of wheels rolling across the floor. Xiang Xuan'er gave Da Zhong a wink, and Da Zhong continued what he was doing.
Not long after, Xiao Jincheng appeared at the door. Looking at Xuan'er lying on the bed, he smiled and said, "It seems I came at the right time. You're still awake."
Hearing this, Xuan'er showed a look of surprise and stood up to jump out of the bed. Da Zhong was so scared that he quickly held him down and scolded him, "Kid, you still have a needle stuck in your arm, what are you going to do?"
Helplessly lying back on the bed, Xuan'er gave Xiao Jincheng a wry smile and said, "Hello, great grandfather."
Looking Xuan'er up and down, Xiao Jincheng said with relief: "Compared to last time, you are very energetic now. You should have recovered well."
"I recovered a long time ago, but Uncle Da Zhong still wants me to drink herbal medicine and get acupuncture, and I'm not allowed to go anywhere."
With an earnest look on his face, Xuan'er pleaded in a pitiful voice, "Grandpa, I'm almost well now. Why don't you ask Uncle Da Zhong to stop torturing me? It's too uncomfortable to stay in my room all day. I've gotten sick before from staying in my room for too long. Won't that mean my old illness won't relapse now?"
Listening to Xuan'er's reasons, Da Zhong couldn't help but tap his head in amusement and said with a smile, "Little brat, you used to get sick if you stayed in your room, but now you're recuperating. The two are different, don't confuse the two. Be patient. After your uncle gives you another five days of acupuncture, you can go out for a walk."
"Five more days!?" Xuan'er looked at Xiao Jincheng as if asking for help, but Xiao Jincheng just looked like he was watching a show and had no intention of taking any action.
Seeing that Xiao Jincheng refused to help, Xuan'er continued to use the self-torture trick. She looked at Xiao Jincheng pitifully and said, "Grandpa, Xuan'er is really fine. We still have to go to the United States. How can we leave like this?"
"I can go to the United States alone this time, so you should stay at home and recuperate."
After hearing this, Xuan'er was stunned for a moment, then anxiously leaned forward and said, "Grandpa, Xuan'er can go. Please let me go with you."
"We will have opportunities in the future, so there is no need to rush."
"But... Xuan'er was all prepared and even researched the market background and industry prospects, but now it's useless."
After hearing Xuan'er's words, Xiao Jincheng looked very interested and said, "Since you're ready, tell Grandpa about it."
Although she wasn't in high spirits, Xuan'er still obediently repeated the materials she had prepared. Xiao Jincheng listened with an appreciative smile.
When Xuan'er finished his speech, Xiao Jincheng couldn't help but applaud, praising him, "Not bad, you're worthy of being my great-great-grandson. Your analysis is well-reasoned and unique. You're even better than your father and grandfather!"
Xiao Jincheng mentioned his father so often that Xuan'er was used to it. But today, it was the first time he mentioned his grandfather, which made Xuan'er curious. She asked, "Grandpa, what kind of person is Xuan'er's grandfather? I don't think I've ever seen him before."
