Huo Ling started shaking all over.

How could that be possible?

How could such an incredible thing happen in this world?

However it happened, Qiao Jin’s prophecy was now fulfilled. That was the most terrifying thing.

Thinking of this, Huo Ling quickly packed her things while trying to keep herself calm. “Mom, you should wait to see what the doctor says. If that doesn’t work, you can bring my brother to the Imperial City to see if we can treat his leg. I’ll send you 50,000 yuan first. You keep it for the moment, and I’ll be back in a few days.”

Qiao Jin must have to go back to the hospital for an examination. Huo Ling wanted to see Qiao Jin.

After talking to her mother, Huo Ling immediately packed up her things and rushed to the hospital.

She remembered that Qiao Jin’s phone number and other information were in the hospital’s patient data book, and even if it didn’t have her info, it had her mother’s.

She knew it was against the rules, but what happened to her brother was too bizarre. Huo Ling immediately wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Her mother said that her brother could no longer keep his legs, and she thought of Qiao Jin’s words again, telling her to go home.

But she didn’t.

Would things have been different if she had gone back?

But in the end, she’d ignored her.

With that thought, Huo Ling couldn’t help but tear up.

***

Qiao Jin got up quite early in the morning that day.

Actually, it was simply a normal breakfast time.

When she arrived in the living room, since Mu Zhenming had already left to go to work, there was only Qiao Fei to be seen.

At the same time, a tall, slender figure came through the front gate.

He wore a custom-made denim shirt, casual light blue loose-fitting trousers, and seemingly-messy hair that was actually meticulously styled. He had a handsome face, bold eyebrows, and Mu Zhenming’s style. He had a slightly immature quality, but he appeared fresh and youthful.

One could tell at a glance that he was Mu Zhenming’s son.

As soon as he entered the door, he met Qiao Jin’s eyes.

Qiao Fei first saw Qiao Jin come downstairs, then saw her son enter, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “Qi Lian!”

He was her third son, Mu Qilian.

Mu Qilian and Mu Qichu were twins, so theoretically they looked exactly the same. From the fact that Qiao Fei could recognize Mu Qilian at a glance, she was obviously extremely familiar with her sons.

Mu Qilian’s eyes locked on Qiao Jin.

Naturally, Qiao Jin’s eyes saw Mu Qilian as well.

However, she stared a little too long.

Mu Qilian and Mu Qichu had sent people to approach Qiao Jin, forcing her to become a drug addict, leading to her attempted suicide. Logically, the karmic backlash suffered by these two people shouldn’t be small. But unexpectedly, when she looked at Mu Qilian, she saw that he was surrounded by only a faint wisp of grey energy.

Under normal circumstances, a person in such a situation would be just a little more unlucky than usual.

This obviously defied the nature of karmic backlash.

She was a little puzzled. Mu Qilian looked at her with obvious disdain. He obviously knew Qiao Jin. He quickly moved his eyes away from Qiao Jin, and called out unhappily, “Mom.”

Mu Qilian still had affection for his mother, and Qiao Fei greeted him excitedly. “Qilian, come here and see! This is your sister Qiao Jin.”

Mu Qilian immediately retorted, “Did you give birth to her, mother? Or can just anyone simply become my sister?”

Qiao Fei’s face turned pale.

She had not expected her son to dislike Qiao Jin so much.

But Qiao Jin just waved her hand. “Children are very rebellious at this age, so I understand, Feifei. Don’t worry about it.”

Qiao Fei was speechless.

Mu Qilian was speechless, too.

Had she really gone crazy?
