Mother Wu's voice was weak and even she herself did not believe this pale excuse.

Wu Xu said nothing, but just stared at her with a complex and deep look, as if at this moment, all words were redundant.

"I have said this, and my position is very clear. I will never compromise on your request. From now on, I will have nothing to do with the Gu family. Even if I end up living on the streets in the future, I will never set foot in the Gu family's door again!"

Wu Xu's determination was as strong as iron, cutting off the last trace of ties.

Mother Wu felt a surge of hot blood rushing to her head. The world in front of her seemed to be crumbling and she was on the verge of fainting.

She never dreamed that Wu Xu's attitude would be so resolute and cruel. This sudden change made her furious. She lost her mind for a moment and waved her hand to teach this son whom she once treated as her own son a lesson.

At this critical moment, two young figures suddenly rushed in. Dabao and Xiaobao seemed to sense something and rushed towards Wu's mother at the same time. Their small bodies slammed into her waist, which had not yet healed.

There, the injury she accidentally sustained while hunting wild boars a few days ago was still aching. The impact was like being hit by a sledgehammer. Wu's mother's legs suddenly went limp, unable to support herself, and she collapsed to the ground, with pain and shock intertwined on her face.

"Wu Xu, you...how could you let these two children treat me like this?"

She endured the pain and questioned with a trembling voice, her eyes full of disbelief and anger.

Wu Xu stood not far away, facing her painful appearance, his eyes that were once full of tenderness were now as cold as a cold pond. He did not even respond to the slightest blink. This ruthlessness made Wu's mother more heartbroken and painful than any words.

Xiao Bao pointed his finger firmly at Wu's mother. Although his voice was childish, it was filled with anger that could not be ignored: "You are not allowed to hit Daddy, you old witch!"

In his innocent heart, the punishment that Mother Wu had given to him and his brothers in the past was enough to make him dissatisfied. Now she even dared to hit her father. He could not accept this and a determined light flashed in his eyes.

"See? This is not a place for you to act wild. Leave now."

Wu Xu's words were thrown out coldly, and his tone revealed a determination that would not allow for negotiation.

With a glance, he vaguely saw Yan Qin lurking in the shadows. With just one signal from him, the other party would take quick action.

However, at this critical juncture, he chose to stay put for the time being. After all, the appearance of the children had unexpectedly rescued Wu's mother.

Mother Wu felt mixed emotions, regret and anger.

Recalling that many years ago, she took in the young, helpless Wu Xu out of momentary pity. At that time, he had chubby cheeks and was lovable. Who would have thought that he would be so cruel to her today.

"You are such a heartless thing. I have loved you in vain! If I had known this would happen, I should not have been so soft-hearted. I should have just..." Her words were drowned out by a deep sigh. The choices she made in the past became the most heartbreaking pain at this moment.

At the same time, Hu Zi's mother saw Wu's mother leaving angrily and hurriedly closed the door, fearing that Ran He's absence would cause some unexpected trouble.

In the clinic, Ran He was as focused as ever on treating patients. After finishing, he walked into the inner room and prepared to prepare medicinal materials.

Mo Changfeng was leisurely sipping tea and waiting on the side, as if he knew everything.

Meng Changfeng was very skilled and placed the herbs that Ran He needed accurately on the smooth table one by one, with the amount of each ingredient being just right without any error.

In order to ensure that there would be no mistakes when refining the medicine and to avoid the waste of medicinal materials due to improper operation, he carefully prepared double portions of each medicinal material. Ran He secretly admired his meticulousness. It turned out that this boy who seemed careless on weekdays was so meticulous in doing things.

Ran He brought these carefully prepared medicinal herbs to the kitchen, placed them on a small stove, and added them one by one in strict accordance with the secret methods in ancient books.

Some need to be boiled for a long time to release their medicinal properties; others need to be taken out after a short stew. The process is complicated and requires precision.

After completing all this, she quietly opened the space ring she carried with her, poured out the clear and transparent spiritual spring water that contained magical power, poured it into the pottery jar, gently fanned the flame, and began the long brewing process.

This is by no means a task that can be completed in a short period of time. I'm afraid it will take until late at night to complete it.

Ran He carefully reminded Mo Changfeng of various precautions when taking the medicine, and told him that he could take it and drink it by himself when the time comes, without the need for help from others and without any special taboos.

"This liquid medicine needs to be boiled for four hours. Once you take it, your body will be fine. But if you feel weak or uncomfortable in the future, you may as well take a few more doses according to this prescription. It will only benefit your body and not harm it."

Things are unpredictable. Although Ran He cannot guarantee that the medicine can cure the disease, this prescription is indeed a good one. Long-term use can strengthen the body and enhance internal vitality.

Hearing this, Meng Changfeng smiled heartily and patted Mo Changfeng on the shoulder, looking heroic and uninhibited: "Hey, that's nothing, even if he really wants to drink it day and night, with their family conditions, it's more than enough for him to drink it for a lifetime!"

After saying this, the three of them smiled at each other, and a warm and firm sense of trust filled the air.

It was this guy with a weird personality who joked that the amount of pills he had swallowed since he was a child was enough to pile up into a small mountain. Now asking him to take medicine again was as unbearable as a death sentence.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Mo Changfeng's straightforward agreement shocked Meng Changfeng's heart, as if all his previous words were not as effective as Ran He's gentle words. This really verified the old saying that the depth of friendship can be seen at a glance at the critical moment.

"By the way, this is for you."

Mo Changfeng took out a white token from his bosom. It was as smooth as jade and had intricate patterns engraved on the edges, which looked simple and solemn. He had originally planned to give it to Ran He yesterday, but was forced to delay it until now because of Wu Xu's incident.

"What is this?"

Ran He took the token and fixed his eyes on the eye-catching word "Mo". He guessed that this should be the symbol of the Mo family, symbolizing supreme power and glory.

"This is the token of the Mo Chamber of Commerce. Anyone who holds it can go to any of our chambers of commerce across the country. Whether it's mobilizing resources or seeking assistance, everything can be used by you, and any of your needs can be met."

Mo Changfeng's words revealed unquestionable sincerity. The value of the token far exceeded what could be measured by ordinary medical fees. You know, the tentacles of the Mo Chamber of Commerce extended to every corner of the empire, and the annual income of a single shop was enough to make people stunned.

At this moment, this noble token actually fell into Ran He's hands. If she really wanted to, these shops could be brought under her control at any time, and they could only obey.
