Chapter 5 How could she be the woman of that night?

When she returned to her room after leaving the hospital, it was already noon. She had expected to face the cold mockery of Huo Tingxiao, but to her surprise, the room was quiet.

She looked towards the bed and saw that he had his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

However, his lips were unusually pale, and she felt a little worried. She was just about to go and check on him when there was a sudden urgent knocking at the door. Lin Wan guessed it was lunch being delivered, so she walked over to open the door.

As soon as she opened the door, an angry old lady walked in, looking around the room before turning to face Lin Wan. Her eyes immediately filled with anger.

Lin Wan guessed her identity, and before she could even say "Grandma," the old lady slapped her hard across the face, causing her to stagger.

"The Lin family actually dared to play this game and marry a slut like you into our family. I must go and settle the score with them!"

She was about to leave, but was stopped by Huo Jie.

One slap was not enough to vent her anger.

He gestured to her to continue scolding Lin Wan, but as he watched the woman who had just been stunned come back to life, he suddenly changed his mind.

She looked at the old lady with a stubborn expression on her face.

"Grandma, if I remember correctly, it was Grandpa Huo who personally came to the Lin family to propose. He said he wanted to marry a daughter of the Lin family for Huo Tingxiao. Although I am an adopted daughter, I have also been raised in the Lin family since I was a child. What part of me is not worthy of Huo Tingxiao?"

Mrs. Huo never expected that her sharp tongue would make her so angry.

"How dare you talk back! When we said we wanted to marry Lin's daughter, we meant Lin Ming's biological daughter, not you, a shameless woman who is carrying a stranger's child and has no shame!"

Huo Jie listened and wanted to applaud Mrs. Huo, and couldn't help but echo her words.

"That's right, even though Big Brother has a disability, he is still the eldest son of our Huo family. Who dares to look down on him? You dare to insult him like this, it's simply audacious and ignorant!"

Audacious and ignorant.

In less than a day, Lin Wan had heard this evaluation countless times.

She smiled indifferently, but her words made people even more angry.

"He is disabled, and I have a bad reputation. Isn't it just a perfect match? Besides, now the whole city knows that the Huo and Lin families are marrying each other. If you come to me aggressively at this time, wouldn't you give people a handle?"

Mrs. Huo was so angry that her body trembled and her breathing became more and more rapid.

"You, you, you..."

Seeing her suddenly fall to the ground, Lin Wan panicked and quickly knelt down to check on her.

Huo Jie was even more angry when he saw her making his grandmother fall down. But before he could push her away, he suddenly saw her turn around and run into the room. In no time, she brought back a bottle of medicine.

"You despicable woman, what is that in your hand? Are you trying to kill grandma?!"

Ignoring his accusations, Lin Wan was about to give the old lady the medicine when she suddenly opened her eyes and pushed her away.

"You scheming woman, I won't take your medicine. Who knows what it is, you might be trying to kill me!"

Lin Wan felt wronged by the misinterpretation of her good intentions, but she didn't show it on her face. Seeing that the old lady had recovered, she stood up and planned to check on Huo Tingxiao's condition.

At this moment, the old lady also noticed that something was wrong with Huo Tingxiao.

She saw that his face was pale and cold sweat was dripping from his forehead.

The old lady became anxious, "What's going on? What happened to Tingxiao?"

Huo Jie quickly grabbed her hand and asked loudly, "What did you do to my brother? Why did he faint?!"

Lin Wan looked at them fearlessly and said, "If you don't step aside, I don't know what will happen to him."

The old lady suddenly remembered that Lin Wan had learned acupuncture from the old master of the Lin family. However, she didn't trust her and asked the servants to call a doctor.

When she came back, she saw that Lin Wan had already taken off half of Huo Tingxiao's pants and was inserting needles into his disabled leg.

Huo Jie exclaimed in shock, "Lin Wan, what are you doing?!"

Ignoring his roar, Lin Wan added a few more needles and then waited quietly on the side.

Huo Lao Tai and Huo Jie stood by with unpleasant expressions. Huo Jie wanted to rush forward, but was held back by Huo Lao Tai.

She wanted to see how capable Lin Wan really was.

If Lin Wan harmed Huo Tingxiao, she would send her straight to the police station!

However, not long after, Huo Tingxiao slowly opened his eyes. Huo Jie and Huo Lao Tai quickly surrounded him to make sure he was not uncomfortable before they could relax.

Coincidentally, the doctor arrived and they asked him to examine Huo Tingxiao again. It was confirmed that he had only fainted from the pain and that Lin Wan's acupuncture had a pain-relieving effect.

Huo Lao Tai still couldn't let go of her worries and planned to discuss with him in detail about Huo Tingxiao's follow-up treatment plan. She followed him out of the room, and Huo Jie followed suit.

When Lin Wan walked in and closed the door, she found that Huo Tingxiao had been staring at her the whole time.

A smile appeared on her face as she walked slowly to the bedside.

"Husband, why are you looking at me like that? Have you fallen in love with me?"

Huo Tingxiao had long known that this woman had no shame, but he was still shocked at this moment.

He suppressed his anger and calmly stroked her reddened face.

"What a pity, such a beautiful face. It looks like it will be swollen for several days."

His fingers pressed slightly on her face, causing Lin Wan to feel a sharp pain.

She endured the pain and still looked at him with a smile.

"Honey, are you feeling sorry for me?"

In those beautiful almond eyes, there was a hint of pitifulness and a plea for love, completely different from her aggressive behavior just now.

Huo Tingxiao was surprised by her acting skills, but looking at her eyes, he felt a strange familiarity that made him unable to continue being harsh on her.

His face turned cold and the next second, he denied his own guess.

How could she be the woman from that night?

Then, he pushed her away heavily.

"Lin Wan, I have never seen a woman as shameless as you!"

Lin Wan slowly stood up, supporting herself on the edge of the bed. Her face was slightly pale, but she still smiled at him.

"Well, that's good. It seems that I have broadened Mr. Huo's horizons."

Her indifference only made Huo Tingxiao more annoyed. He turned his head with disgust and his cold voice echoed in the room.

"Get out, don't let me see you again!"
