Portable Space: Little Miracle Doctor

Chapter 94 – Clash between Grandfather and Grandson

Ms. Zhong felt that Yan Xiaosi’s words seemed reasonable.

Her heart was a little less uneasy.

Yan Shuqin put on her own shoes, helped her mom find her shoes, and handed them over. “Mom, put on your shoes quickly. Let’s go out and see. Grandfather must not have come alone. I’m worried that Xiaosi will be at a disadvantage.”

Ms. Zhong took the shoes and hurriedly put them on.

By this time, Yan Xiaosi had already made her way to the kitchen in the dark.

A squeaky sound was heard.

Old Master Yan, fuming with rage, was standing outside the door with a stern face. He saw the dilapidated wooden door being opened and a skinny figure came out from inside.

Yan Xiaosi opened the broken wooden door and immediately saw Old Master Yan, Ms. Li, and Old Woman Li standing at the door.

The original host hadn’t been to the Yan mansion for many years and had a vague impression of her grandfather, Old Master Yan, and her aunt, Ms. Li.

Old Master Yan was easy to recognize. As for Ms. Li, Yan Xiaosi had to use the memories left by the original host and recall carefully before recognizing her.

Yan Xiaosi felt unfamiliar with Old Master Yan and Ms. Li. Likewise, both of them felt unfamiliar with Yan Xiaosi, especially Old Master Yan.

Time flies. A few years without seeing each other, and this little rascal has grown so big. Looking at him, he’s so refined, very much like the third son.

That was what was going on in Old Master Yan’s mind at the moment.

Looking at Yan Xiaosi, who resembled Yan Bowen, Old Master Yan felt a twinge of compassion. But when his eyes moved to the blood-red mole at the corner of Yan Xiaosi’s eye, the twinge of compassion he had felt vanished instantly.

This little rascal is a troublemaker, he could never compare with the third son.

“Yan Xiaosi, do you know your mistake?”

The first thing he said was a stern reprimand, completely disregarding any semblance of familial affection.

Ms. Zhong, Yan Shuqin, Yan Shuxue, and Yan Shuyun arrived just in time to hear Old Master Yan’s words.

His cold and angry words made Ms. Zhong’s heart sink.

Her Xiaosi was also a descendant of the Yan family. How could the old master…

Although she was dissatisfied with Old Master Yan in her heart, she dared not show it on her face or voice it out. Before Yan Xiaosi could respond, she respectfully said, “Father, did you come to see Xiaosi so late because something has happened?”

Ms. Zhong was clumsy with her words, and what she said was not to Old Master Yan’s liking.

Hearing Old Master Yan snort coldly, he said, “Hmph, Ms. Zhong, don’t pretend to be confused with me. I specifically asked Old Woman Li to come here. Do you think she wouldn’t tell you about it?”

Perhaps due to nervousness, Ms. Zhong was unable to respond to Old Master Yan’s words. Her face tightened, and she looked terrified.

Seeing this, Yan Xiaosi felt a pang of heartache. She stepped forward, using her small body to shield Ms. Zhong, Yan Shuqin, Yan Shuxue, and Yan Shuyun behind her.

Raising her eyebrows, Yan Xiaosi stared coldly at Old Master Yan with an expressionless face, slowly saying, “I don’t know where I’ve done wrong to offend Old Master Yan. Could you please make it clearer?”

Denying wrongdoing even when clearly in the wrong.

Old Master Yan was seething, and given that none of the Yan descendants had ever dared to contradict him like this, he was about to slap someone.

“Yan Xiaosi, what did you say to Old Woman Li just now? You did something wrong and you dare to play dumb with me.” Seeing Old Master Yan raise his hand to slap Yan Xiaosi, Ms. Zhong, Yan Shuqin, Yan Shuxue, and Yan Shuyun immediately became tense, their hearts hanging in the air. Ms. Zhong, protective of her daughter, hurriedly said, “Father, if you want to hit someone, hit me. Xiaosi is still young, and any mistake is my fault.”

Ms. Li and Old Woman Li stood by, watching the drama unfold. Seeing Ms. Zhong both worried and helpless, Ms. Li’s mouth curved into a smirk.

Ms. Zhong would never be able to return to the Yan mansion in this lifetime after making Old Master Yan so angry.

Yet, the impending slap did not fall for a long time. Instead, Old Master Yan’s wrist was grabbed by a slender hand.

Yan Xiaosi grabbed Old Master Yan’s wrist, her mouth curled up in a cold smile, and her icy gaze shot directly at the old man.

She was not the real Yan Xiaosi. If she was provoked, she wouldn’t care about any so-called filial piety. Moreover, dealing with an old man like Old Master Yan who was already half-dead didn’t require much effort.

Old Master Yan’s wrist hurt slightly. It took him a moment to realize that he had actually been restrained by Yan Xiaosi, and in front of his daughter-in-law and a servant, no less.

His face flushed with humiliation.

His anger flared up again: “Yan Xiaosi, how dare you.”

Old Master Yan shouted angrily, Ms. Li and Old Woman Li both stared wide-eyed at Yan Xiaosi.

This kid must have eaten the guts of a leopard, daring to lay a hand on the old master.

Not only Ms. Li and Old Woman Li were shocked, but Ms. Zhong, Yan Shuqin, Yan Shuxue, and Yan Shuyun were all astonished as well. Only Yan Xiaosi was staring at Old Master Yan calmly, her tone indifferent: “Old Master Yan, you are an old man. Why get so angry? Don’t forget, your wife is still lying in bed. Didn’t you come here late at night because you wanted me to examine her? Well, if I cure her illness, you, Old Master Yan, will pay me ten taels of silver for my consultation fee.”

“Yan Xiaosi, do you still have any regard for me, your grandfather, in your heart and mind? You bring up money as soon as you open your mouth.”

Yan Xiaosi let go. Old Master Yan withdrew his wrist, letting out a sigh of relief, but he was still shaken.

This wasn’t a little rabbit but a little wolf. He was nothing like his father.

These were the thoughts running through Old Master Yan’s mind at that moment.

Yan Xiaosi raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms over his chest, and simply answered, “No.”

The old man hadn’t fulfilled his duties as an elder, yet still fancied using his elder status to suppress him. He was dreaming.

“If the old master is reluctant to part with his money, then I’ll go back to sleep. I’m quite tired at this late hour.”

Seeing Yan Xiaosi about to turn away, Old Master Yan’s face turned ashen. He wanted to explode with anger, but his wife’s illness couldn’t be left untreated. He had to swallow his anger for now and said in a stern voice, “What if you can’t cure your grandmother’s illness?”

“Yes, what if you can’t cure your grandmother’s illness?”

Ms. Li followed Old Master Yan. Yan Xiaosi demanding ten taels of silver as soon as he opened his mouth had infuriated her.

This damn kid was so greedy, dreaming of ten taels of silver.

Yan Xiaosi responded calmly, “If I can’t cure the old Madam’s illness, I am willing to pay the Yan family ten taels of silver in return. How about that?”

Ms. Li didn’t have much faith in Yan Xiaosi’s medical skills.

Doctor Ge had been unable to do anything. Could a fatherless, uneducated brat really be more capable than Doctor Ge?

Let this little bastard give it a try. If he can’t cure the old Madam, at least they can get ten taels of silver.

“Xiaosi, this is what you said. Don’t claim that I’ve bullied you when it’s time to pay.”

Ms. Li was afraid that Yan Xiaosi would take back his words, so she quickly confirmed. Ms. Zhong was afraid that Yan Xiaosi would be fooled by Ms. Li. Before Xiaosi could speak, she quickly tugged at her sleeve and whispered in her ear, “Xiaosi, don’t let your aunt fool you. Go with your grandfather to see your grandmother. We don’t want the silver. If you can’t cure her, just come straight back.”
