Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1213: What’s With Her Attitude

The moment Xinyan departed, the eldest son of the Hao family and his wife, Ding Xiulian, voiced their displeasure immediately: "Just look at her, throwing a fit at us now."

With a glance towards the door, she grumbled further, "We paid a substantial sum; what kind of attitude is this?"

Her words caused both Old Sir Hao and Hao Yuanfang’s expressions to darken, but before they could voice a response.

Xinyan re-entered from outside, her gaze steely: "The items the Hao family provided are my compensation for saving your son's life. For any further treatment, you will need to seek someone else."

Hearing this, Hao Yuanfang's heart plummeted. He shot an enraged look at his wife, quickly interjecting, "Mr. Han, please disregard her baseless words; she does not represent our Hao family."

Mr. Mu had mentioned previously that this individual possessed exceptional talent but rarely intervened.

In the realm of acupuncture, despite her youth, it is likely that no one currently surpasses her; she appears to be heaven-sent, possessing an innate gift.

Xinyan opened the alcohol provided by the nurse, pouring it into a borrowed container to prepare for the sterilization of her silver needles.

She finally stated coldly, "My actions were prompted by my mentor and Mr. Mu. Since Mrs. Hao is so dissatisfied with me, let us not force this arrangement any further. After all, I am genuinely occupied and originally had no spare time."

These pronouncements incited the fury of the Hao father and son towards Ding Xiulian.

For the sake of his son, Hao Yuanfang disregarded all other concerns: "Mr. Han, she speaks without refinement, please do not take offense. Allow me to offer an apology on her behalf."

Xinyan observed the clock, and as the designated time arrived, she expertly withdrew the needles, placing each one into the alcohol for disinfection before storing them away.

Hao Yuanfang wished to say more, but fearing Xinyan might become distracted and compromise his son's condition, he chose to remain silent for the moment.

Once Xinyan concluded, he intended to speak again, but Xinyan looked towards them: "Given his current state, even if the subsequent acupuncture treatments are not administered, it will not significantly alter the outcome. It will merely decelerate the recovery process and might result in some residual effects, but these will manifest at a later stage. For the present time, his normal life will not be impacted."

As she began to pack her belongings: "My apologies, I am pressed for time, so I must take my leave. Please accept my departure."

Throughout her existence, her sole desire was to live with unbridled freedom, unswayed by any external influence. This Mrs. Hao likely regretted the compensation disbursed by the Hao family, attempting to discard her before achieving her objectives.

After speaking, she offered a nod to the attending Hao family members and proceeded to exit.

She was indeed in a rush, having originally planned to catch a flight, and it would be improper to be delayed further.

Having already taken a few steps outside, she recalled a crucial instruction and returned to remind them not to bathe the patient that day.

Just as she returned to the doorway, she overheard Ding Xiulian exclaim: "Truly audacious, acting so presumptuously for a mere youngster."

Hao Yuanfang, who was about to go out to intercept Xinyan, had intended to reprimand her but faltered upon seeing Xinyan's return, momentarily speechless.

Xinyan did not re-enter the ward, merely issuing a casual reminder: "He has just received acupuncture, so refrain from bathing him today to prevent any infection."

Following this, she didn’t even glance inside, gave Hao Yuanfang a nod, turned, and departed with haste.

Hao Yuanfang was incandescent with rage. He strode directly to Ding Xiulian and delivered a resounding slap: "Your son is truly unfortunate to have a mother like you."

With that, he pursued Xinyan outside.

Xinyan had just reached the ground floor when she heard: "Mr. Han, what a coincidence meeting you here. What brings you around?"

Xinyan glanced up to see Zheng Huaizhong, the second son of the Zheng family: "Mr. Zheng, hello. I have come to attend to some personal matters."

Zheng Huaizhong noticed her heading towards the exit: "Are you departing?"

Xinyan nodded: "Yes, I intend to head back."

Zheng Huaizhong considered his nephew and recalled Xinyan's past kindness to their Zheng family: "Now that Zhiyang is assisting you, we are practically family. Please address me as Uncle Zheng from this point forward."

Xinyan did not stand on ceremony: "Very well."

As they conversed, they had already reached the main gate. Zheng Huaizhong inquired, "Where are you headed? I can offer you a ride."

Xinyan did not decline, being in a hurry and unwilling to accept transportation from the Hao family: "Then I shall trouble Uncle Zheng."

When Hao Yuanfang rushed out, he saw Xiao Li standing before the vehicle: "Why did you not offer Mr. Han a ride?"
