Chapter 393 Cui Yi Faints from Anger

While he was pondering, Cui Yi suddenly clutched his chest and coughed violently. His face turned pale and then red, and finally he fell straight backward.

"father!"

Cui Zhihao cried out in alarm, only to watch helplessly as his father collapsed heavily to the ground, unconscious.

"master!"

Wang also panicked. Her previous arrogance vanished instantly, leaving only confusion.

"Master! Wake up! Huai'an, quick, call a doctor!"

Cui Zhihao's expression was grave. He carefully helped his father up and placed him in a nearby chair, while calling out, "Someone, quickly go and fetch Doctor Zhang!"

The servants in the manor dared not delay and ran out.

Before long, Dr. Zhang arrived in a hurry, carrying his medicine kit.

He is a well-known doctor in the area, and Choi Ji-ho would often ask him to come and see him when he felt unwell.

Doctor Zhang stepped forward, first checking Cui Yi's breathing, then placing his fingers on Cui Yi's wrist pulse, concentrating on taking his pulse.

A moment later, he released his grip, wiped the sweat from his brow, bowed to Cui Zhihao and Madam Wang, and said tremblingly, "Lord Cui, your father was just momentarily agitated. His words were too agitated, causing his blood to rush to his head and block his meridians, which is why he fainted."

"I'll give him acupuncture to clear his blood and qi, and he should be fine."

"But you will need to rest well for a few days afterward, and you must not get angry or overwork yourself."

As he spoke, Doctor Zhang took out silver needles from his medicine box and gently inserted them into several acupoints on Cui Yi's body.

A moment later, Cui Yi let out a soft groan and slowly opened his eyes. Although his face was still pale, his breathing was noticeably more stable.

Cui Zhihao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease.

He looked at his father's weak appearance, then at his mother who looked worried, and frowned.

He couldn't understand why his parents had suddenly come to visit today and why they were so agitated.

He and Miss Shi lived a peaceful life here, never provoking anyone, and never daring to cross the Cui family's bottom line.

"Dad, how are you feeling?"

Choi Ji-ho asked softly, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible distance.

Cui Yi glanced at him, his eyes filled with complex emotions—anger, disappointment, and a hint of weariness.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he just waved his hand and closed his eyes, clearly not wanting to speak anymore.

Seeing this, Madam Wang's anger flared up again. She turned her anger towards Shi Wanxia and shouted, "It's all because of you, you jinx! If it weren't for you, how could Master be so angry? Our Cui family must have been cursed for eight lifetimes to have met you!"

Shi Wanxia pursed her lips and remained silent.

She knew that arguing now would be futile and would only make the situation worse.

She took the freshly brewed tea from Shuyun, who was standing beside her. She had specially asked Shuyun to brew it, using Longjing tea that Brother Cui usually liked to drink, thinking that it might calm him down.

She carried the teacup and walked slowly to Wang Shi, saying softly, "Auntie, have a cup of tea to calm down."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Wang suddenly raised her hand and hurled the teacup at it.

With a loud crash, the teacup shattered, and scalding tea splashed all over Shi Wanxia, ​​causing a burning pain to run down her arm.

Tea leaves and broken porcelain shards were scattered all over the ground, like her broken heart at this moment.

Shuyun exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to help Shi Wanxia up, but was stopped by a sharp look from Madam Wang.

"Who wants to drink tea brewed by someone as lowly as you?"

Wang's voice became even shriller, "Don't you even know who you are? You think you're worthy of serving me tea and water?"

"Let me tell you, as long as I have a breath left, I will never agree to you being with my son!"

Despite the pain in her arm and the grievance in her heart, Shi Wanxia raised her head and looked directly at Wang Shi.

Her eyes were calm, without anger or resentment, only an almost stubborn determination.

“Aunt, I know you look down on me, and I know I am not good enough for Young Master Cui.”

Her voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable strength, “But he and I are truly in love. We don’t seek the Cui family’s approval, nor do we crave wealth and status; we only wish to live our lives peacefully. Please grant us your blessing, Auntie.”

"To grant your wish?"

Wang scoffed as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, "You, an orphan of unknown origin, dare to dream of entering the Cui family?"

"I'm telling you, it's absolutely impossible unless I'm dead!"

"mother!"

Cui Zhihao finally lost his temper, shielding Shi Wanxia behind him and looking at Wang Shi with cold eyes.

"You've gone too far! What did Miss Shi do to offend you? Why are you treating her like this?!"

"I've said it before, my affairs are none of your business! Miss Shi and I will live our own lives, we don't need you to tell us what to do!"

"You...you unfilial son!"

Wang was so angry at her son's words that she trembled all over. "For this woman, you're even abandoning your own mother? Have you forgotten how you grew up? Have you forgotten the kindness of the Cui family in raising you?"

“I have not forgotten your kindness in raising me, but that is not a reason for you to interfere in my marriage.”

Choi Ji-ho's tone was firm: "Wan-ha and I are truly sincere with each other, and I will not give up on her because of anyone's opposition."

"If you came here today just to force us to separate, then I can only say that I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"you you……"

Listening from the side, Cui Yi became agitated again, pointing at Cui Zhihao, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time, and finally his vision went black and he fainted again.

"master!"

"father!"

The courtyard was thrown into chaos.

Wang Shi, no longer able to blame Shi Wanxia, ​​rushed to Cui Yi's side and cried out.

Cui Zhihao frowned and once again ordered his servants to fetch Doctor Zhang.

Shi Wanxia stood there, looking at the chaotic scene before her, feeling utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally.

The burning pain in her arm grew clearer, a reminder of the humiliation she had just suffered.

The unease in my heart surged like a tide, growing stronger and stronger.

She knew that the arrival of Cui's parents was just the beginning.

This contest between social class and love has only just begun.

And she and Choi Ji-ho will likely face even more challenges ahead.

But as she watched Choi Ji-ho's busy figure, and saw that even in such a chaotic situation, he still remembered to turn back and give her a reassuring look, her heart calmed down again.

No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, as long as they continue to fight side by side and support each other, she will have the courage to keep going.

Even if she had to fight against the entire world and the deeply ingrained concept of social class, she would never back down.

She stood under the veranda, gazing at the two familiar yet unfamiliar figures in the courtyard, her fingertips trembling slightly.
