Chapter 216

This sentence made the other three people stunned on the spot.

Xiao Qingnuan still held the handkerchief in his hand, his eyes were a little terrified, he looked at Xiao Heng, and then at Qiao Nian, fearing that some incredible answer would come out of Qiao Nian's mouth.

Fortunately, Qiao Nian recovered after a brief shock, turned his head and stopped looking at him, and said in a light voice, "General Xiao is really a joke."

As he spoke, he was about to continue the acupuncture.

But his wrist was tightly grasped at this time.

It was Xiao He.

Qiao Nian looked at him in surprise, and saw that his cold eyebrows were stained with anger, staring at Xiao Heng unhappily, "I think you are dizzy from the pain, so let's stop here today." After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Qiao Nian again, and his cold voice deliberately slowed down a little, but it was still stained with displeasure, "Pack up, let's go."

Qiao Nian didn't expect Xiao He's reaction to be so big, and he didn't know how to deal with the hand holding the needle for a while.

However, Xiao Heng's eyes suddenly darkened, and the smile on his lips had long disappeared.

He looked at Qiao Nian deeply, and then tilted his head back again, speaking in a light voice with a bit of coldness, "I was just joking, why are you so nervous, brother? Go on."

Now, Qiao Nian was put there.

For a moment, it was not right to leave, nor to stay.

Fortunately, Xiao Qingnuan was there.

She looked at Xiao Heng with some concern, and then said to Xiao He, "Brother, there are only ten needles left. If you leave like this, wouldn't it be a failure? Didn't the second brother suffer in vain just now?"

Xiao He's eyes fell on the dozen silver needles pierced into Xiao Heng's legs. Thinking of Xiao Heng's unbearable pain just now, he finally softened his heart.

Xiao Heng's cold voice sounded again, "If my brother doesn't like it, I won't say anything in the future."

Until Xiao Heng's promise, Xiao He hesitated to let go of Qiao Nian's wrist.

But the look he gave Qiao Nian was still a little worried.

He didn't want Qiao Nian to endure something that would make her uncomfortable because of him.

But Qiao Nian smiled at Xiao He, indicating that she was fine, and then continued to acupuncture the medical book.

For the remaining ten needles, she didn't even look at Xiao Heng.

She admitted that when she saw Xiao Heng enduring such intense pain for Xiao He, she felt compassion.

In any case, the brotherhood between Xiao He and Xiao Heng is not something that outsiders can casually evaluate.

But it is obvious that her compassion caused Xiao Heng to misunderstand.

Then, don't look at him at all, and don't pity him at all!

And in the next few needles, Xiao Heng really did what he said, and didn't say a word except the word "got it".

Even until the last needle fell, he still didn't cry out in pain.

Qiao Nian breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile that was hard to suppress on the corner of her mouth, "I know what I'm doing, I guess I just need to try a few more times."

She had already memorized the strength and depth of each needle.

Seeing her so happy, Xiao He's eyes were also full of smiles, but when he turned his head to look at Xiao Heng, the smile turned into worry.

"Heng'er, are you okay?"

Xiao Heng still kept his head up, didn't speak, and even closed his eyes.

Hearing Xiao He's question, the right hand on the armrest was slightly raised and gently swung twice.

This meant that they all left.

Xiao He's eyebrows were slightly twisted, and his worries in his heart became even worse, but he also knew what kind of temper his brother had, so he whispered, "Then you have a good rest." After that, he looked at Qiao Nian and motioned the latter to leave with him.

Qiao Nian took back all the needles and turned around to follow Xiao He.

She was still a little worried. Others couldn't bear the pain after four or five needles, but Xiao Heng could hold on to the end. What kind of strong endurance must he have?

However, until she left the door, she didn't look in Xiao Heng's direction again.

Xiao Qingnuan could see that Qiao Nian deliberately didn't look in this direction.

For some reason, at this moment, she actually felt that Xiao Heng was very pitiful.

So much so that the voice calling him was full of pity, "Second brother..."

"Go out."

A low voice, very hoarse.

If you listen carefully, you may hear a little sobbing.

Xiao Qingnuan's eyebrows were tightly knitted, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word and went out of the room.

The door was closed, and the whole room was quiet.

There seemed to be a lingering pain on his right leg after the needle test just now, bit by bit, like pulling a thread, but that thread seemed to be connected to his heart.

So much so that at this moment, his heart was also aching, little by little.

He kept looking up, holding the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging. He never relaxed for a long time.

It was unknown how long it took before Xiao Heng slowly opened his eyes, and saw the dark black beams.

His eyes were actually stung by those beams.

A drop of warmth fell from the corner of his eyes, but soon disappeared into the hairline, as if it had never appeared.

On the other side, Xiao's mother took Lin Yuan to walk in the garden of Xiao's mansion.

The weather is very warm now, the garden is full of greenery, and various flowers are competing for beauty, which is very lively.

Lin Yuan followed Xiao's mother, although there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes were very cold.

After all, Xiao's mother noticed Lin Yuan's emotions, couldn't help but stop, turned around and looked at her, "Mom, I know you have been wronged."

One sentence only brought out the grievances that Lin Yuan had been holding back, and tears kept falling like water.

Xiao's mother raised her hand to wipe it for her distressedly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone, "Heng'er is here to test the injection for his elder brother. Don't worry, my mother will send someone to watch every day and will never let him have trouble with Niannian." What happened!"

After hearing this, Lin Yuan just sobbed and said, "Yuan'er believes in brother Heng and sister-in-law."

Hearing this, Mother Xiao couldn't help but smile, "You are the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, so you are very generous. But my mother also knows that I still feel uncomfortable if I believe it, right?"

Lin Yuan said nothing, lowered her eyes slightly, and only answered with increasingly raging tears.

Just listen to Xiao's mother say, "In two days, mother will hand over the power of running the family to you, okay?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but be surprised. Although she was happy, she still wanted to ask, "Why is Mom like this? I didn't want to..."

"It's my mother's idea!" Xiao's mother patted the back of Lin Yuan's hand and said with a slight smile, "Mother wants to give you something to do, which is better than your random thoughts! What's more, the power of running the family will be yours sooner or later. Now I just left it to you earlier!”

Lin Yuan could no longer suppress the joy in her heart.

Afraid that her raised corners of the mouth would be noticed by Xiao's mother, she hurriedly hugged Xiao's mother and said, "Don't worry, mother, Yuan'er will never let down mother's wishes!"

"Be good." Mother Xiao patted Lin Yuan's back gently.

Although Lin Yuan was still sobbing, her eyes were full of pride.

And...a hint of cruelty.

She knew that something was imminent!
