Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 869

Chapter 869: Chapter 869: The Old Man Helped Her

Then this man must be the heart doctor, Albert.

The two of them are even more affectionate than lovers.

They kiss after saying a couple of words, or just touch each other.

If she didn’t know their identities, Lin Zhiyi would be very willing to believe there was genuine affection between them.

"Where is the old man?" Albert asked.

"He just took his medicine, otherwise I’m really afraid he wouldn’t hold up during the ancestor worship ceremony; he can’t be allowed to ruin Ah Yao’s big event," Fu Xiuzhu replied.

"You can rest assured about my medicine. Once Gong Yao’s matters are settled, we’ll follow the plan and cause a conflict between the Third Young Master and the old man, and in the end, everyone will believe it was the Third Young Master who angered the old man to death. Meanwhile, Gong Yao has been so attentive in taking care of the old man, everyone will see that."

As Albert spoke, he raised his hand and pinched Fu Xiuzhu’s chin.

Fu Xiuzhu, being somewhat rational, slapped his hand away.

"Don’t fool around, the old man is still in the yard."

"What’s there to be afraid of? Before the medicine takes effect, he doesn’t even have the energy to get out of bed, so how could he have time to bother you? How long has it been since we’ve been together?"

"Not here." Fu Xiuzhu pushed Albert away.

Albert pointed to a small room in the old man’s yard.

"There’s no one there, and no one will disturb us."

"Alright then."

The two of them left intimately and went into the yard.

Lin Zhiyi followed behind, watching them enter the small room on the first floor.

She observed the surroundings and found no one else present.

They seemed to be busy elsewhere.

She confidently walked into the yard and tiptoed upstairs.

Before entering the room, she pressed her ear against the door.

Only after confirming that there was no one else in the room did she quietly push open the door and take a look.

The old man was lying on the bed, his blanket rising and falling rapidly, clearly uncomfortable.

Lin Zhiyi hurriedly opened the door and walked in.

She stood by the window, looking at the old man’s strangely flushed face, and quickly helped him catch his breath.

"Old man, are you okay?"

"Water... water..."

The old man pointed to the cup on the bedside table.

Lin Zhiyi immediately poured a cup of water and helped him drink half of it, while also giving him a tablet for treating heart disease.

Gradually, the old man’s breathing calmed down.

Lin Zhiyi kept it brief: "I brought medicine. I need to switch out the pills they gave you. Do you know where they keep the medicine?"

The old man took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty: "Bag, Fu’s bag."

"Alright."

Lin Zhiyi helped him lie back down on the bed and then began looking for Fu Xiuzhu’s bag.

Fu Xiuzhu had just given medicine to the old man earlier, so her bag was left in this room.

Lin Zhiyi found a woman’s bag on the sofa.

She opened the bag and found a lot of things inside, including a bottle of the old man’s medicine and surprisingly another bottle of pills.

This bottle only had a red label on it, with nothing else.

Lin Zhiyi found it very strange.

But time didn’t allow her to hesitate. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

She quickly swapped out the medication, and perhaps because she was too nervous, the bottle fell to the floor.

Startled, she hurriedly picked up the bottle, poured the pills into her pocket, and replaced them with the heart treatment medication she had brought.

Just then, voices came from outside the door.

"What happened? Why the rush?" Albert asked.

"I seem to have heard something."

"No, you’re probably just too nervous. The Gong Family is going to set off firecrackers on schedule today."

"No... I better check on the old man first."

The sound of Fu Xiuzhu coming upstairs could be heard outside the door.

Clenching the lid tightly, Lin Zhiyi quickly took a pill from the bottle with the red label.

But by this time, she no longer had time to leave the room.

She looked around for a place to hide.

The old man reached out and lifted the bedsheet.

Lin Zhiyi bent down and slid underneath the bed.
