The Bootlicking Antagonist Only Wants to Survive, but the Female Lead Refuses to Follow the Usual Plot

Chapter 220 A Chinese Ghost Story

Long Aotian and Xu Zhiyun chatted for a while.

It must be said that Long Aotian was truly a talented and handsome man.

He was dignified, elegant, and well-spoken. Anyone who talked with him would have a good impression of this young man.

Moreover, he and Xu Zhiyun were in the same profession, both studying medicine.

Xu Zhiyun was particularly interested in ancient Chinese medicine. Unfortunately, the most profound and sophisticated ancient medical skills were passed down through generations and were not easily taught to outsiders, let alone spread around.

Experts were all content with their circumstances, treating whoever they encountered.

For those suffering from complicated illnesses, encountering them was like winning the lottery, extremely lucky.

As long as Long Aotian talked a little about his professional knowledge, it was enough to impress Xu Zhiyun.

Xu Zhiyun was afraid that this guy was all talk and no action, so he specifically tested him with a few practical cases.

Unexpectedly, Long Aotian knew his purpose as soon as he heard it and spoke eloquently. Many of the methods and treatment plans he talked about were eye-opening.

The two hit it off more and more.

Xu Zhiyun immediately felt that Long Aotian was a talent, a great talent!

"Mr. Long is incredibly talented. Your understanding of ancient medicine puts me to shame. I wonder what industry Mr. Long is currently engaged in?"

Long Aotian laughed heartily, "I have been traveling for many years and haven't settled down in any industry. The Northern Kingdom has a vast territory, magnificent scenery, a dense population, and four distinct seasons. Aotian wants to make a difference here, but I still need the guidance and support of seniors like Mr. Xu!"

"Hahahaha! You're too kind! Brother Aotian, you are too modest!"

Xu Zhiyun said loudly, "Xuejiao! Butler, go and call Xuejiao to meet our guest."

"Yes."

After a while, Xu Xuejiao came in.

This time, Xu Xuejiao was wearing a set of formal adult clothes, looking much more mature and steady.

Long Aotian's eyes lit up as soon as he saw her.

Xu Xuejiao was really, no matter how she dressed, she looked good!

She looked good in everything!

When she wore a JK uniform, she was a pure little girl, making people want to pinch her face and never let go.

When she wore a professional uniform, she had the demeanor of a great doctor and a different kind of professional charm, which made people's imaginations run wild and their hearts sway.

Today she was wearing a ladylike long skirt, her hair slightly curled, and a pink loose-fitting top revealing a row of beautiful collarbones.

Her slender shoulders were thin and narrow, and snow-white, making people want to touch them.

And the two semicircles revealed by the tight front of her clothes were even more dazzlingly white.

This girl was really... able to pull off any style effortlessly, and the result was absolutely stunning.

Long Aotian smiled and cupped his hands, "Ms. Xuejiao, long time no see."

Xu Xuejiao looked surprised, "Long Aotian? Why are you here?"

Xu Zhiyun said, "Xuejiao! How do you speak? I'm sorry Aotian, this child has been spoiled by me."

"Hahaha, it's alright, it's alright. Ms. Xuejiao is a renowned doctor in the Northern Kingdom. I witnessed you giving acupuncture to Old Mr. Chen Qiushou at the Chen residence. I admire you very much!"

"Oh, she has some skills, but she's not quite there yet. Don't mind her." Xu Zhiyun said, "Greet him properly."

"Yes, Brother Aotian."

Xu Xuejiao seemed very well-behaved, slightly bowing with a shy and innocent look.

Long Aotian felt like his soul was about to leave his body.

This beauty... truly a stunning beauty!

My soul, ah, I can't hold on much longer!

Xu Xuejiao might have looked like Lin Daiyu on the surface, but she was a fierce Zhang Fei in her heart:

Damn it! This old geezer is definitely up to no good!

He almost tricked Leng Tianhao into giving away his entire family fortune to Huo Wendong, and now he's here to trick my dad!

Does he think I'll fall for this!?

I'll see what you're up to! Maybe, hey, I can ask Chengwen to take half your life!

"Oh, please, sister, get up. Ah, ever since our last encounter, I have been deeply impressed by your medical skills. Every time I think about it, I feel immense admiration."

Xu Xuejiao covered her mouth and smiled shyly.

"You flatter me, brother. Your insights on the flaws of the Nine Needles of King Wen that day were an eye-opener for me. If it weren't for the matters at the pharmaceutical factory, I would have loved to have a long conversation with you and exchange ideas."

She thought to herself:

You wolf-hearted, dog-raised thing!

I was about to strike a fatal blow, and if it weren't for Chengwen's sharp eyes, Grandpa Chen might have been in danger!

A guy who will stop at nothing to show off, just the sight of you disgusts me.

Long Aotian felt the conversation was going well, "Oh, yes, there have been some misunderstandings between us these days. I hope you don't mind, sister."

"Misunderstandings!?" Xu Zhiyun was surprised, "You guys..."

Long Aotian quickly said, "Because of some conflicts with Lu Chengwen, Xuejiao was present a few times."

Xu Xuejiao looked pitiful and distressed.

"Let's not talk about it anymore, I... maybe I'm the one who's not good at judging character. I treated Chengwen wholeheartedly, but..."

"Hmph!" Xu Zhiyun slammed the table, "Don't mention that Lu Chengwen to me again! Damn it, his father is just an upstart, and he's just an upstart's son! I've had enough of him acting all high and mighty with his father's money! Aotian, do you also know Lu Chengwen?"

Long Aotian smiled bitterly, "Of course. I've had a few encounters with Chengwen, hehe, I have to admit he got the better of me. However, I'm planning my comeback, so I don't intend to get into too much conflict with someone like him."

"Yes, yes, yes! We are doctors, we are supposed to heal the sick and save the dying, how can we waste time on a rich kid like him."

"It's just that Lu Chengwen, this person, is lecherous, sinister, cunning, driven by profit, and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Xuejiao, it's... not appropriate for you to be so close to that Lu guy."

"See! See!" Xu Zhiyun said, "Am I the only one who says that about him? Everyone says that Xuejiao, stay away from that Lu guy from now on!"

Xu Xuejiao lowered her head, "I understand."

Xu Zhiyun was taken aback.

What the heck, she's so obedient!?

He looked at Long Aotian, who was squinting and kept glancing at his daughter. Then he saw Xu Xuejiao glance at Long Aotian and quickly avert her gaze shyly, her face blushing.

Xu Zhiyun's heart skipped a beat: What's this? Love at first sight?

Xu Zhiyun said, "Aotian, I have to go and treat a professor today. How about you come with me? His condition is a bit complicated. With you by my side, you can also help me check for any oversights and make corrections."

"I wouldn't dare, I'm eager to learn from you, senior. This is a great opportunity."

Xu Xuejiao returned to her room, immediately took off her top and threw it aside, jumped onto the bed with her shoes on, and called Lu Chengwen.

"Ugh! This deadhead! Why is there no signal!?"

...

Lu Chengwen, accompanied by Hua Xuening and Zhao Gang, had gone shopping, bought some good wine and food, and planned to go to Seven Star Peak early tomorrow morning to look for his master.

Whether they could find him or not was up to fate.

It would be Hua Xuening's birthday after midnight, how should he celebrate it?

At this moment, he received a call from Xu Xuejiao.

"Hello! Chengwen, it's bad, Long Aotian came to my house!"

Lu Chengwen was surprised, "He went to your house!? What for?"

"I don't know! It's weird, he and my dad are just talking about medicine, and my dad is treating him like a living god. What should I do?"

Young Master, at the Xu residence?

Hua Xuening frowned. Was he planning to start with Xu Xuejiao?

Young Master, Xu Xuejiao really likes you, you can't snatch her away.

Lu Chengwen was also thinking:

[This guy, seeing that he can't get his hands on the Leng family, he's turning his attention to trying to win over the Xu family first.]

[Damn it, if you want money, go earn it yourself, what kind of skill is it to target my future father-in-law one by one?]

Lu Chengwen said, "Don't panic, who did he bring with him?"

"Just himself!"

"Luo Shiyin's not there?"

"No, she came with him, but she left when they got here. Hey, do you like Luo Shiyin? Let me tell you, that bitch has an evil aura about her, you better not have any ideas about her!"

"I don't!" Lu Chengwen thought to himself:

[I don't know if she's evil or not, that's why I asked.]

[If she were there, your dad would probably be following him, living a carefree life.]

Hua Xuening was startled.

Master... so you knew everything? No wonder Lu Chengwen gets so nervous whenever Shiyin appears.

Thinking back, every time Shiyin was around, he always kept the farthest distance from her and avoided her gaze.

Master... what else do you know!?

"Listen to me, Xuejiao, don't offend him, just go along with whatever he says. But tell your dad, don't partner with him in business, absolutely not."

"My dad won't listen to me! I'm not like Chen Mengyun or Leng Qingqiu, my dad treats me like a child, I don't have that much control in Houde!"

"Oh, then it's fine. When the Xu family becomes Long Aotian's property, you can come to me and work for me."

"Lu Chengwen! I'm mad!"

"Hahaha!" Lu Chengwen scratched his head, "Don't worry, as long as Luo Shiyin doesn't show up, your dad will be fine."

"Are you serious? I don't care, hurry up and make me yours! Otherwise, my dad will still have unrealistic hopes and try to resist."

Lu Chengwen laughed, "You're so eager for me to make you mine? You're quite forward."

"Yes, yes, I'm eager, are you happy now? Tell me, do you like me or not?"

"I like you, but..."

Lu Chengwen suddenly froze, "That's not right, he has Luo Shiyin, why isn't he using her?"

"What!?"

Lu Chengwen looked back at Hua Xuening, his mind racing:

"He should be using Luo Shiyin at this time, with her, it would be a sure win. Could it be that Luo Shiyin has other tasks?"

"What are you talking about?"

Lu Chengwen said sternly, "Xuening, tell Jiang Shihan not to come over, I suspect Long Aotian's people are coming."

Hua Xuening stammered, wanting to tell him that they had already been there.

Lu Chengwen knew from Hua Xuening's expression:

[Crap, they've already been here!]

At this moment, Zhao Gang opened the door and said with a grin, "Miss Shiyin, please come in. Ah, you are truly beautiful and stunning. I, Zhao Gang, have been in the company of Mr. Lu in the world of romance, but I have never seen a woman as... tsk tsk tsk... charming and heavenly as you, Miss Shiyin!"

Luo Shiyin giggled, "Little brother Zhao Gang, you flatter me."

"Not at all, not at all, this is nothing. I'm willing to do anything for you, Miss Shiyin! Even if it means selling my body, I won't complain!"

"Giggle, you're so bad."

"Hehe, girls love bad boys!"

Lu Chengwen's face darkened, "Zhao Gang! What the hell do you think you're doing!?"

Zhao Gang chuckled, "Mr. Lu, I've brought Miss Shiyin over for you."

Lu Chengwen gritted his teeth, "Oh, thank you so much!"
