I wondered, "No matter how much he vomits, he can't move."
My mom looked embarrassed.
I glanced at her and said, "Mom, tell the truth."
“Well…” My mom didn’t dare look me in the eye: “I felt that he and I were in the same boat, so after he finished throwing up, I helped him empty the container.”
"Okay, okay." I nodded. "If you skip a day of your medicine, your condition will be delayed by a day. It seems I have no choice but to increase the dosage, which will only make the medicine more bitter."
"What?" My mother exclaimed in shock.
My mother immediately looked at Huo Yubai.
"Mom, look, he's no use!" I scolded. "He's not taking his medicine properly and is even influencing other people. I think we need to increase the strength of his medicine."
My mother looked bitter.
"Professor Shen, we're running out of time." Huo Yubai showed me the time on his wristwatch.
I frowned slightly: "Is it already this late?"
"Let's go." Huo Yubai smiled gently. "We can still discipline them when we get back."
I turned to Sister Lan and said, "Make sure they drink their medicine."
Sister Lan nodded: "Professor Shen, don't worry."
Only then did I feel at ease to leave.

Madam Mo's birthday banquet was held at home.
As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the Mo family's old residence, we saw many luxury cars, including several with license plates starting with the letter A.
After getting off the car.
Huo Yubai walked to my side and whispered, "No matter what, you are still my fiancée today. Professor Shen won't undermine me, will he?"
I took his arm and teased, "I was worried that you wouldn't dare to get too close to me because of the Huo family's pressure."
"How could that be?" He smiled slightly.
He would never miss an opportunity to get close to her.
Huo Yubai and I went inside.
The banquet hall was bustling with activity, as everyone gathered around Old Madam Mo.
I followed Huo Yubai forward.
Madam Mo sat on a rosewood armchair, her demeanor dignified. Her thin face showed no warmth, and her entire being exuded extreme coldness, inspiring awe and awe.
"Madam Mo, I wish you a long and healthy life." Huo Yubai said in a cool tone, "This is a gift that my fiancée Shen Yan and I gave together."
His assistant presented him with a red brocade box.
The steward of the Mo family opened the box, inside which was a jade ruyi (a type of scepter).
A slight warmth appeared on Madam Mo's face: "This jade is very good."
I heard that Madam Mo is very fond of jade.
Huo Yubai was trying to please him.
"Where is Old Master Mo?" Huo Yubai asked.
"He's playing chess in the study and will be down in a bit." Old Madam Mo glanced at me but ignored me.
I wonder what they're up to.
"Huo Yubai, you're here. Grandpa's looking for you." Mo Lei walked over. "He's waiting for you in the study."
Huo Yubai narrowed his eyes slightly.
"You go ahead, I'll wander around by myself." I let go of his arm.
"I'll be down in a bit," Huo Yubai said, still worried.
He left with Murray.
Neither Madam Mo nor I had anything to say to each other, so we just wanted to find a place to rest.
"You may all leave now," said Madam Mo in a deep voice. "Miss Shen, please wait."
I turned my head and asked, "What advice do you have for me?"
“Since this is your first time visiting the Mo family, I’d like to extend some hospitality. Please sit next to me,” she said.
I became suspicious. What exactly was she doing?
"You don't dare?" she looked at me defiantly.
I smiled casually: "There's nothing I wouldn't dare to do."
After I finished speaking, I sat down.
Then, several very beautiful women surrounded them.
"Look at these girls, they're all from our Mo family." Old Madam Mo said proudly, "Each of them graduated from a prestigious university, received elite education from a young age, and are talents in their respective fields."
I smiled and said, "It's a good thing that the Mohist school is producing so many talented people."
Seeing that I didn't understand, Madam Mo continued, "Besides them, all the girls who are already married or engaged are the same. You've only just come to Xinjing City and don't know, but the wealthy families in Xinjing City consider it an honor to marry a girl from the Mo family."
I chuckled and said, "Then all the wealthy families in Xinjing City have your Mo family bloodline. What will happen to the next generation? They won't be able to arrange marriages anymore. Aren't you just a rotten apple spoiling the whole barrel?"
Madam Mo's expression changed slightly.
I smiled faintly: "Go on."
“Mo Ruchu is of the Mo family bloodline, and although Mo Yue is a distant relative, she is also a member of the Mo family’s collateral branch. In any case, they are much better than some girls outside.” Old Madam Mo said coldly, “As the president of Huo Group, Yu Bai’s wife should have a prestigious status.”
"If it's loud, isn't that a bell?" I said with a smirk. "Walking around with a bell everywhere, you really think of yourself as a mascot."
Madam Mo's expression changed.
"What good is a good background? Standing here, it's like a talent show for young women. You've lost all your dignity. You're not even as good as those who may not have much education but have their own personality," I said with a casual sarcasm.
"What use is their personality if they have no noble birth?" Old Madam Mo said sarcastically.
"So, Madam Mo, just say they come from good families. Why bother with all that useless stuff? If it weren't for the Mo family, how would they have married into wealthy families?" I smiled indifferently. "They might have had to endure a lot of hardships. No one is more noble than anyone else, right, Madam Mo?"
"Hmph." Old Madam Mo snorted, "It seems you haven't understood what I said. Shen Yan, since you're so stubborn, I won't be polite. You're not good enough for Huo Yubai."
"You're wrong, he's not good enough for me." I said lazily, "At least I have an understanding mother, my relatives and friends are all gentle, and I don't have any strangers interfering in my marriage. By the way, what is Madam Mo's status in interfering in Huo Yubai's marriage?"
“The Mo family and the Huo family already have a marriage agreement.” Old Madam Mo said with a stern face.
"But I also heard that both Grandpa Mo and Grandpa Huo have agreed to cancel." I curled my lips: "Is Grandma Mo planning to force a sale?"
"The engagement has been cancelled, but Huo Yubai's standards for the woman he wants to marry will not change." Old Madam Mo said sarcastically, "Your background is not even as good as that of an illegitimate daughter of our Mo family."
"Really?" I asked with a smile, "Then I wonder how much inheritance the Mo family gave to their illegitimate daughter? Let me hear it, tell me quickly so I can be envious."
Madam Mo: "..."
"You keep saying illegitimate daughters are people too, but in the end, you still show favoritism. If you want to use illegitimate daughters to slander me, you should first treat them like me." I smiled. "Speaking of which, my father treated illegitimate daughters quite well. No matter what, the Mo family can't be worse than that scumbag father of mine, right? No way?"
Everyone around heard it.
They all looked this way and pricked up their ears to listen.
Madam Mo was very angry, but she couldn't show it in front of everyone. She sneered, "Shen Yan, if you don't listen to my advice, I guarantee you won't be able to stay in this Xinjing City."
I laughed and said, "Whether you can get rid of me is your ability, whether I can stay is my ability. I'm just worried about whether your body can handle it. Don't go to see the King of Hell before you even get rid of me."
