“It seems that our country’s doctors have a successor!” When a deep voice came from behind her, Jian Xing’er turned around and realized that the person who spoke was an old man. He didn’t come by himself. There was a cute little boy standing behind him. Jian Xing’er felt that this old man looked a little familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen him before. She simply stopped thinking about it and smiled at the old man before turning to leave. “Please wait! I want to ask you for a favor!” When the old man suddenly stopped Jian Xing’er, Jian Xing’er turned around and said in confusion, “How can 1 help you?” The old man explained to Jian Xing’er with a solemn expression, “1 want to ask you to treat my grandson! My grandson has had a very strange illness since the day he was born.” With that, the old man pushed the little boy in front of Jian Xing’er and begged, “With your ability, you can definitely save my grandson’s life.”
Jian Xing’er was a little stunned when she heard this. From the old man’s words, it seemed like he had known her for a long time. “I’ve heard of you before. Your name is Jian Xing’er, right? You’re actually the person in charge of the Tianmei Corporation!” The old man said word by word, “About two weeks ago, the Li family’s patriarch personally came to Sea City to ask you for help. You used the Soul Chasing Needle technique and the Dream-Recovering Needle to save Old Master Li’s life. You used the 13 Peony Needles and the Earth Spirit Needle technique here, so you know four of the ten lost acupuncture techniques. 1 can’t think of anyone in the entire country with better medical skills than you.”
“You secretly investigated me?” Jian Xing’er was a little displeased. “I’m sorry, yes!” The old man admitted frankly. “Ever since you saved Old Master Li’s life, I’ve been secretly investigating you. 1 know that this is inappropriate, but please forgive me. I’m an old man who values my son more than 1 value my own life. I just don’t want my grandson to suffer anymore.” “Then you’ve also found out that I used to be the daughter-in-law of the Hou family, right?” Jian Xing’er asked. “Of course! There’s nothing in the country that 1 can’t find out!” The old man didn’t hide it at all. Jian Xing’er couldn’t help but sneer inwardly. Although the old man said that he wanted her help, his attitude was so unyielding and he had no intention of currying favor with her. This old man’s identity was definitely not simple! “Why should I help you?” Jian Xing’er asked. “Based on the fact that I’m the only one who can help you save Tianmei Corporation from Liu Xiaohong, is that enough?” The old man added, “I’m the only person who can save you from Liu Xiaohong! You alone don’t have that sort of power.”
When Jian Xing’er heard this, she couldn’t help but sneer. She didn’t care if this old man was confident or arrogant, but from his words, he was clearly looking down on her. To her, Liu Xiaohong was even more trifling than an ant! If she couldn’t even deal with Liu Xiaohong, she might as well pack up and go back to the countryside to farm! “Tianmei Corporation doesn’t need you to save us,” Jian Xing’er said bluntly. The old man’s attitude made her a little unhappy. He had asked her for help first, but he had to act like he was giving her charity.
The old man didn’t expect Jian Xing’er to give him such an answer, so he was slightly stunned. However, he quickly realized that Jian Xing’er had this attitude because she had a way to deal with Liu Xiaohong. He wasn’t surprised. Jian Xing’er’s medical skills were excellent, so there were definitely many people who wanted to please her. If she wanted to deal with Liu Xiaohong, she might not even need to do it herself. He had underestimated Jian Xing’er! “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.” With that, Jian Xing’er strode away without looking back.
The old man stared at Jian Xing’er’s back view as she strode away, and his brows furrowed tightly. After Jian Xing’er walked for a distance, she suddenly remembered that this old man was the chairman of Demon Province’s Chamber of Commerce, Bai Hao. He was the one who bought the five bottles of perfume that were sent to the auction last time. Jian Xing’er raised her eyebrows slightly. Bai Hao was very powerful in the business world. He could almost be considered a local emperor and usually, others were desperate to curry favor with him. He had never needed to ask others for help, so his attitude was so arrogant. “Grandpa, that girl seems to be angry. Does she hate Qingchen?” the little boy asked Bai Hao.
“No, don’t think too much about it!” Bai Hao smiled and patted the boy’s head. At this moment, a tall middle-aged man alighted from a luxury car by the roadside. “President…” The middle-aged man nodded and said respectfully, “Yes.” Bai Hao sighed. “I’m afraid the matter of treating Qingchen will be a little troublesome. Jian Xing’er is different from others. She has a temper.” The middle-aged man looked helpless, but he didn’t dare to speak..
