Chapter 369
“What’s wrong with that? Do the Gaos have a problem with the detoxification?”
Jiang Chen didn’t have a good impression of the Gaos.
Gao Yue had been tortured by the poison for eighteen whole years. With the pure phoenix blood in her body, she should have been a great Venerable, but in the end she wasn’t, thanks to them.
Jiang Chen hadn’t gotten permission from the Gaos for the detoxification, and he had never intended to do so.
But maybe the Gaos thought Gao Yue’s poison shouldn’t have been detoxified without their agreement.
Jiang Chen went to the main hall of the east courtyard in a hurry. He went in directly, although the door was closed.
“Son.”
“Stop!”
The Gaos couldn’t have been more careful. They acted at the same time and saved Lily.
The hall was a mess. The ground was full of ditches resulting from the fire. The tables and chairs had all been burned.
“Gao Yue, your son went too far!” Third Uncle said in a fury.
Jiang Chen laughed at them and said, “She’s been speaking rudely since I came in. Every word she said hurt my ears. And you didn’t even try to stop her. Is that fair?”
“You…”
“Stop.”
Gao Yue wanted to stop this farce. She said, “Third Uncle, your men crossed the line first. My son isn’t the one to blame.”
Lily didn’t buy it. She stared at Gao Yue in anger. It seemed she was going to curse Gao Yue, but the senior next to her stopped her.
She looked at Jiang Chen bitterly and told him it wasn’t over yet.
Jiang Chen didn’t give a damn. He said, “Why are you here? Get straight to the point.”
The three seniors glanced at each other. Third Uncle came forward and said, “Gao Yue, your father is very sick. He doesn’t have much time left. He wants to see you.”
Jiang Chen was surprised that this wasn’t about the detoxification.
Then he recalled that Gao Tian’ai had told him the lord of the Gaos was looking for doctors to save his life. He assumed that in the end, the lord hadn’t found any.
“How did he get sick? With his father’s state and position, how could that happen?”
Jiang Chen could ignore his so-called grandpa, but Gao Yue couldn’t.
Because he had never met his grandpa, but Gao Yue always felt like she owed the Gaos and her father. That was why she had lost her manners as soon as she heard the news.
“You’ll get more details when you see him. If it weren’t so urgent, we wouldn’t have come here in person. Come back with us. It’s a special occasion. The restriction banning you from the Dragon Field doesn’t count,” said Third Uncle.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.”
Gao Yue had no reason to refuse them. Jiang Chen couldn’t stop his mother from seeing her father one last time, either, but the whole thing didn’t seem right to him. He rolled his eyes and suddenly said, “It seems you already know that the poison in my mother’s system was detoxified, don’t you?”
The question came so suddenly that even Gao Yue, still in a daze, looked up at him, puzzled.
The three seniors’ reactions answered his question, although they hadn’t said a word.
“Let me ask you one more thing. If my mother’s poison hadn’t been detoxified, would you have come here, even if grandpa was dying? Is it necessary to come with so many people to pass on a simple message? Are you planning on forcing her to go if she rejects you?”
If the previous question had surprised the Gaos, the last question made them pale.
