The old man’s inexplicable words made Xia Weibao pause for a moment.

She looked around; there were only two people in the ward, her and the old man.

Xia Weibao pointed at her own nose, "Sir, are you talking to me?"

The old man’s sharp, deep eyes locked tightly on her face, "Besides you, is there a third person in the ward?"

Xia Weibao was even more puzzled, "Do you know my dad?"

The word ’dad’ was very unfamiliar to her.

In both her past and present life, she never had a father.

Yan Lingyi said that the father of this body was called Ma Xingfeng, and he was already dead.

Hearing about her father from another person’s mouth felt completely foreign, just foreign.

The old man stared straight ahead, his gaze somewhat distant, seemingly reminiscing about something.

"Your father was also a medical prodigy. He had extraordinary comprehension of traditional Chinese medicine from a young age, but you are even better than him.

Back then, I tested him with this illness, and he didn’t diagnose that I was faking it."

Xia Weibao, "..."

This old man is really boring, what’s the point of testing something like this.

"Were you very familiar with my dad?"

The old man looked at her, "I’m your grandfather."

Xia Weibao was stunned on the spot.

She had no impression of Ma Xingfeng at all.

Yan Lingyi never mentioned anyone from the Ma family, and she never asked.

She never thought about whether there were other people in the Ma family.

Xia Weibao’s eyes slowly narrowed, "Why should I believe you?"

It’s always good to be cautious, and she’s not stupid enough to believe someone just because they suddenly claim to be her relative.

The old man, seeing her wary eyes, wasn’t angry but spoke slowly, "Your father’s name is Xia Xingfeng."

"Sorry." Her Majesty the Empress raised her hand to interrupt, "You’ve got the wrong person. My father’s name is Ma Xingfeng."

"That was his pseudonym. Back then, he traveled and practiced medicine to gain experience. He fell in love at first sight with Yan Lingyi, eloped with that woman behind his family’s back, and they had you."

"Nice story you’re crafting there, go on." Xia Weibao flicked her nails.

She pulled over a chair, sat down, and listened to him tell the story.

This casual attitude made the old man a bit angry, "What kind of attitude is this, I’m your grandfather!"

For someone who has long been in a position of giving orders, such irreverent behavior from a junior is highly disrespectful!

Xia Weibao propped up her chin, her eyes somewhat amused, "Old man, do you think I’m an idiot?"

"Nonsense, how could my granddaughter Xia Jinsong be an idiot!"

Xia Weibao, "..."

Well, he’s really getting into character.

"Since you said I’m not an idiot, why should I believe you based on just a few words?"

The old man, in anger, "I have no reason to falsely claim to be your grandfather."

"That’s not necessarily true. After all, I’m now the eldest lady of the Yan family and the young mistress of the Lu family, many people want to latch onto me."

It’s not that she’s narcissistic, but with her current status, there’s really no woman in Huaxia who can compare to her.

Whether it’s the Lu Family or the Yan Family, there are many people who would do anything to make a connection.

This old man first pretended to be sick to deceive her, then, when exposed, claimed to be her grandfather.

Ma Legeb, could he be a runaway from a mental institution?

Come to think of it, back when she was in that mental hospital, there seemed to be an Old Wang living a few doors down that bore some resemblance to this old man...

Better call the mental hospital later to ask if someone’s on leave or has escaped!
