C11 Old Master Woke up

After Boss Wang's endorsement, the other pharmacies quickly followed suit upon learning that Wei Ying had secured the exclusive rights to distribute for EDonghai Pharmaceutical Industry. They all shifted their demeanor, respectfully addressing her as "President Wei," and even promised to increase their orders by 10 to 20 percent.

While Wei Ying reveled in the perks of her new role, Faang Chonggong was at home, furiously destroying his possessions. Shattered glass and ceramic fragments, once his cherished collectibles, were now just outlets for his rage.

"Damn it, damn it all! Wei Ying got the exclusive rights to EDonghai Pharmaceutical Industry! How am I supposed to face Qiu Zhaoyang or the Lee Family now?" Faang Chonggong bellowed.

In the midst of his tirade, Qiu Zhaoyang's call came through. Faang Chonggong reined in his anger and answered, "Director Qian, please hear me out!"

"Listen to you? How on earth did that woman end up with the exclusive agency? Explain yourself!"

"Director Qian, it was President Ding who fired me. I'm as clueless as you are. He made it clear it was because I had crossed Wei Ying. Could there be something between him and Wei Ying...?"

"What? President Ding and Wei Ying? But isn't President Ding married? His kids are even in college."

"I... I really don't know, Director Qian, but about this matter..."

"You're useless. I'll deal with you later. Just wait and see how I handle this!"

Click. The line went dead.

Staring at his phone, Faang Chonggong seethed, "Wei Ying, I will never forgive you. Never!"

Throughout the hectic week, Wei Ying was preoccupied with the exclusive agency business, while Zhao Feng devoted himself to caring for the Wei Family patriarch.

That evening, Zhao Feng and Wei Ying arrived at the Wei Family Villa, ready to continue Old Master Wei's treatment.

Old Madame Wei's expression was unreadable as she saw them enter.

"Grandma, Zhao Feng and I have come to give grandpa his next treatment," Wei Ying said, approaching to greet her.

"Treatment? Zhao Feng, are you certain you're following Professor Zhang's methods?" Old Madame Wei asked icily. "It's been so long, and the old man still hasn't woken up. What exactly are you treating?"

Wei Ying's face tensed slightly. "Grandma, healing takes time, and Zhao Feng has been tirelessly caring for Grandpa."

"Silence! Wei Ying, I can't believe you're of the Wei Family. Your own grandfather is sick, and you're not concerned, and your husband is making it worse. Can't I even speak my mind? Do you even care about having me as your grandmother?"

Wei Ying's expression shifted, but she was at a loss for words. Surely she couldn't reveal the whole truth?

"Grandma, perhaps we should let Zhao Feng continue his treatment a bit longer before we consider other options."

"There's no need!" Old Madame Wei snapped. "I've made up my mind. I'll find another doctor for the old man. As for you two, I want you out of my sight this instant!"

At her words, both Zhao Feng and Wei Ying looked stricken, shocked by Old Madame Wei's callous intent to dismiss them.

As Zhao Feng weighed the option of disclosing the truth, a cry echoed nearby.

"The old master is awake, he's awake!"

Old Madame Wei's entire frame shook with excitement. She steadied herself on the table, preparing to go to Old Master Wei, her gaze landing on Zhao Feng and Wei Ying.

If Old Master Wei was awake, didn't that validate Zhao Feng's treatment and his recovery?

Reflecting on this, Old Madame Wei felt remorse for her harshness towards Zhao Feng and Wei Ying just moments before.

With a softened voice, Old Madame Wei addressed them, "Ying, Zhao Feng, you've done well this time. I... I..."

Before she could finish, Wei Ying interjected, "Grandma, let's put the past behind us. With Grandpa unconscious, it's natural we were all on edge. I understand! There's no need for self-reproach."

Seeing Wei Ying's empathetic response, Old Madame Wei's fondness for her grew.

"We should go check on the old master right away!" Zhao Feng suggested cheerfully, while discreetly dabbing at the sweat on his brow.

It was fortunate that Old Master Wei had awakened when he did. Otherwise, Zhao Feng might not have been willing to keep his secret any longer.

A short while later, everyone had convened in Old Master Wei's bedroom.

By then, Old Master Wei had come to, though he still appeared somewhat frail.

"Everyone... please step outside. I need to speak with your grandmother alone," Old Master Wei said with a hint of weakness in his voice.

Zhao Feng was aware that it was all an act, but he kept it to himself, leaving the room with Wei Ying, both wearing amiable smiles.

Once they were gone, Old Master Wei exhaled deeply and said, "My dear, there's something I've kept from you, but it seems I can't keep it to myself any longer."

"What is it, dear? Take your time, there's no need to rush," Old Madame Wei responded, her voice laced with concern.

"Well, you see..."
