Immortal Becomes a Stay-at-home Dad After Return-Chapter 7 (2)
Translator: Cold Love
Chapter 7: 10,000 Yuan
The pouting Ning Qiu Tong sat on the driver seat while her father, Ning Zhong Guo, sat on the passenger seat.
As for the back seat, it was occupied by the huge liar she abhorred the most.
She could not understand what kind of madness her father was trying to do.
As his daughter, she was crystal clear of her father's health.
Normally, he looked quite fit; He could lift up a 10kg of mineral water bottle with one hand and even ran 1 round around the house.
However, how could the few sentences from the big liar frighten her father?
The art of conning shouldn't be as exaggerated as this ah…
Ning Qiu Tong gloomily drove the car away from No.2 hospital and under Chen Xi's instructions, she reluctantly drove to a nearest Eastern Pharmacy.
After she stopped the car, Chen Xi said to Ning Zhong Guo, " I will first give you some medicine, it can temporary ease your condition."
After saying that, Chen Xi stretched out his hand and placed his left hand in front of Ning Qiu Tong.
"What?"
Ning Qiu Tong grumpily sat on the driver seat. At first, she wanted to wait until Chen Xi left the car to urge her father not to trust this liar.
To her surprise, the big liar did not immediately leave the car and instead, he stretched out his hand, giving her a fright.
"Give me some money, buying medicine needs money and I did not bring any money with me," Chen Xi reasonably said.
After hearing his words, Ning Qiu Tong almost fainted from anger.
When she was about to berate the big liar, Ning Zhong Guo suddenly opened the passenger drawer and took out a stack of cash from inside, passing it to Chen Xi.
Upon receiving the stack of cash, Chen Xi estimated that there was about 10,000 Yuan.
"Should be enough, wait for me."
Without saying any more pleasantries, he took the money and got off the car.
Ning Qiu Tong glued her eyes to Chen Xi, only withdrawing her gaze when he entered the Eastern Pharmacy.
Judging from her vigilant manner, she must be afraid that Chen Xi would take the money and run off.
"Dad, what in the world happened to you? That guy is clearly a liar and how can you believe this kind of low level scam?"
After the stranger left, Ning Qiu Tong could not hold it back and grumbled a bit to Ning Zhong Guo.
"He is not a liar."
Ning Zhong Guo shook his head. Upon seeing his daughter's aggrieved face, he could not help but laugh and comforted her, "Qiu Tong, actually one of the little bro's sentences hit the mark. That is…I can not live beyond 50 years."
"Dad! You are already 52 years old! It is impossible that I don't remember your birthday!"
Ning Qiu Tong instantly became anxious.
Did dad even forget how old is he this year?
Don't tell me this big liar used some incapacitating agent? Or some sort of hypnosis, causing dad to believe him.
Shit!
How now?
Ning Qiu Tong was so worried such that the more she thought about the more ridiculous it got.
Ning Zhong Guo was considering whether he should tell everything to his daughter, hence he did explain immediately.
After a few moments of silence in the car, Qiu Tong decided to call the police as the ridiculous encounter today was beyond her comprehension.
At this moment, however, Ning Zhong Guo deeply sighed and spoke, " Qiu Tong, do you remember the period of time I was gone 3 years ago?"
"Ah?"
Qiu Tong thought for awhile before answering, "I remember you went overseas to do an inspection for an extended period of time 3 years ago. It was to discuss about investing or something. But, didn't it fail in the end?"
After hearing it, Ning Zhong was reticent.
After carefully thinking about it, he still decided not to tell his daughter.
Hence, he gazed anxious Ning Qiu Tong and suddenly, he asked in a serious tone, "Qiu Tong, if 100,000 Yuan can buy a life for your father, are you willing to do it?"
"Dad! If you can really live for hundreds of years, let's not talk about 10 million, I will even give 100 billion Yuan without blinking, but…Look at him, he really is a liar. How can you believe these kind of cheap lies?"
Ning Qiu Tong was infuriated.
This was not a matter of money, but the fact she felt that her intelligence was humiliated.
"I understand what you meant."
Ning Zhong Guo turned to his side and patted Ning Qiu Tong on the back of her hand. With a serious tone, he said, "I didn't trust him completely, but I can't help but trust him and even hope that he did not lie to me from the start…Because I can't afford to bet on it. If 100,000 Yuan can buy me a life, then why don't we try it?"
"Dad, if you really feel uncomfortable somewhere, we can immediately go back to the hospital to do a check up, okay? If you feel that the medical expertise of No.2 City Hospital is not up to standard, then I will go overseas with you for check up.
Zhong Ning Guo shook his head and stretched out a hand to hug his daughter. After that, he solemnly said, " Trust your father's intuition, okay?"
***
Half an hour later.
Chen Xi walked out of the Eastern Pharmacy carrying 2 big packets.
Just as he opened the car door, he felt that the atmosphere was slightly strange.
Come to think of it, based on the woman's apparel and temperament, she must be a strong independent woman. This kind of social elitist are normally objective, rational and factual, hence, they only believed their own judgement.
Since she had already determined that he was a liar, it was natural that she would not believe him no matter what he said.
She might have even argued with her father just now…
Nevermind, he could not be bothered to care about other people's family matters.
Since King Zhong Guo believed him, then Chen Xi would do his best to cure him. (TN: King is not the surname in this case. It's more like a title, like King ColdLove)
Chen Xi opened the car door and placed one of the medicine packets at the backseat. He then carried the other medicine packet and stood next to the passenger seat. Through the window glass, he said to King Zhong Guo, "For the medicine packet in your car, make a dosage daily. Each dose contains 2 drops. Consume one drop in the morning and another at night. Consume after meal."
"Okay. What else?"
"This medicine can only help you to temporary ease the pain, there is no use for your illness."
Up to this point, Chen Xi lifted up the other medicine packet in his hand and pointed at the packet as he said, "I need 3 days to prepare. Give me a name card, I will contact you 3 days later."
"Okay."
Ning Zhong Guo took out a name card from his bag and passed it to Chen Xi.
Chen Xi gave it a glance, on it was a name and a string of numbers.
"The money for buying the medicine is on me. There is no need for down payment. I will collect 90,000 Yuan after I cure you."
As soon as he finished, Chen Xi waved towards Ning Zhong Guo and left.
When Chen Xi left, Ning Qiu Tong forcefully started the car and softly said with a tinge of sarcasm, "How spineless, he is only satisfied with just 10,000 Yuan."
"Ai, Qiu Tong, why did I sense that there was another meaning in your sentence? Are you blaming your dad for being senile?"
"I don't dare," Ning Qiu Tong resented.
"Didn't you see him buy so many medicine?"
"How much money is this little bit of medicine worth? Dad, I see you don't understand the daily struggles of the average people. It's 10,000 Yuan. The average pay in Zhong Hai is less than 5,000 Yuan. In just 30 minutes, he has earned the salary of what others earned in 2 months. Is that not enough?"
After hearing it, Ning Zhong Guo laughed, "Let's wait. Didn't he say he needs 3 days to prepare? Don't be presumptuous when coming to a conclusion. We will talk about it 3 days later."
"Hmph! Still 3 days?! I dare to bet that he has long run away."
After that, Ning Qiu Tong glanced at the rear mirror, as if to find the figure of the big liar.
And just as she said, Chen Xi was nowhere to be found…
This was because he had to rush home to see his daughter.
Although he was only out for a while, Chen Xi has started to feel that his heart was a bit empty; He was uncomfortable from being apart from his daughter.
As long as he thought that there was a little kiddo waiting for him at home, he could not wait until his cultivation level recovered and instantly flew to his daughter
As expected, he had the potential to be a daughter's slave…
