Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 363 Xia Mian Obsessed with Money

Cui Ke nodded excitedly.

"This time, it might be more painful than the last," Xia Mian glanced deeply at Cui Ke, giving him a heads-up.

Remembering the pain after the last treatment, Cui Ke felt a bit scared inside but bravely said, "I’m not afraid!"

Xia Mian smiled, yes, when choosing between health and pain, everyone knows what to choose.

Sister-in-law Sun stood beside Cui Ke, smiling shyly, "Miss Xia, thank you for your hard work."

Xia Mian gave a light smile, "Let’s go in."

Coming to help treat Cui Ke was out of respect for Uncle Sun, as Lu Zechuan considered Uncle Sun family, and she considered Lu Zechuan’s matters as her own.

Sister-in-law Sun prepared a more comfortable bed specially for Cui Ke, so after his treatment, he could sleep directly on the bed.

At home, he didn’t have to hurry to get up and leave.

Xia Mian had Cui Ke lie down on the bed, went to wash her hands, lit an alcohol lamp, and sterilized the silver needles before calmly beginning the acupuncture.

With the first needle, Cui Ke didn’t feel anything.

After the second needle, Cui Ke clearly felt a sharp pain, as if the place had been slashed by a knife.

Cui Ke’s face instantly turned as pale as paper, cold sweat dripping profusely.

Sister-in-law Zhang watched with heartache and stuffed a wad of gauze into Cui Ke’s mouth.

This child’s character is stubborn; even when suffering, he doesn’t like to tell others. Now he can bear the pain, but if it becomes unbearable, she’s afraid he might bite his own tongue!

Sure enough, when the third needle went in, Cui Ke gripped the gauze in his mouth tightly.

Cold sweat fell like rain.

Xia Mian didn’t look at Cui Ke’s twisted face in pain and continued the acupuncture calmly.

Cui Ke’s illness had persisted for so many years, becoming a chronic ailment. To recover, he could only take strong medicine to expel the toxins from his body.

Though it was painful, excitement flickered in Cui Ke’s eyes.

Pain meant he could feel something, and feeling something meant he was close to standing up again.

Cui Ke wasn’t afraid of pain; he feared he would never stand up again. When his grandparents needed him, he lay on the bed, feeling helpless as a waste.

Xia Mian’s technique was very skilled, and she inserted the needles quickly and accurately.

Ten minutes later, Xia Mian completed the second treatment.

Standing up, she packed her needle kit, went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and then bid farewell.

Sister-in-law Zhang warmly invited, "Miss Xia, stay for a meal!"

After two treatments by Xia Mian, Cui Ke’s legs had visibly turned rosy, and the previously skinny legs had gradually started gaining some flesh.

This effect couldn’t be described simply as "magical."

In Sister-in-law Zhang’s eyes, Xia Mian was Hua Tuo reincarnated.

Her husband worked for the Lu Family and earned quite a bit, but the money they could offer was insignificant in Xia Mian’s eyes.

Therefore, Sister-in-law Zhang didn’t offer money that could insult Xia Mian; she genuinely wanted to give her the best things.

"Miss Xia, my cooking skills are pretty good! Stay and try my cooking?" Sister-in-law Zhang spoke warmly, looking at Xia Mian with eager eyes, afraid she would refuse.

Xia Mian, feeling a bit soft-hearted, slowly nodded.

Agreeing to stay for a meal at Sister-in-law Zhang’s house, Xia Mian called Lu Zechuan.

Lu Zechuan mentioned he had other things to arrange, assuring Xia Mian to enjoy the meal at Sister-in-law Zhang’s and that he’d come to pick her up later.

After speaking, Lu Zechuan quickly hung up the phone.

Xia Mian gently frowned, feeling like Lu Zechuan seemed strange.

However, since Lu Zechuan was now somewhat capable, he shouldn’t encounter any danger. Thinking so, Xia Mian felt relieved.

Seeing Xia Mian willing to stay, Sister-in-law Zhang immediately went to prepare lunch.

Meanwhile, Xia Mian sat in the living room, looking around.

The Zhang Family’s house was also a villa, not large, but neatly and cleanly arranged, with vases on the coffee table and shoe cabinet filled with a few fresh flowers.

Cui Ke’s face had softened a lot, and he sat up despite struggling, eager to chat with Xia Mian, fearing she’d get bored.

"Miss Xia, you don’t look very old, how are you so amazing?" Cui Ke’s eyes were full of stars, his gaze at Xia Mian was unabashedly admiring.

Xia Mian smiled, "I’ve had good luck and met some capable people."

Not wanting to say much, Cui Ke didn’t press further.

"Miss Xia, my brothers also admire you!" he smiled shyly.

The brothers Cui Ke referred to were Uncle Sun’s sons.

Xia Mian had met Sun Wen and Sun Wu before.

They seemed to have been aided by her once.

Xia Mian smiled slightly, "Really, it’s my honor. Your brothers are also wonderful!"

The Sun Family worked for the Lu Family, almost as if they had sold their lives to them, without complaint, always working diligently and responsibly, never making mistakes.

For this alone, the Sun Family deserved her high regard.

Cui Ke smiled, "I heard you’ve started a company. I wonder if I’m lucky enough to work for you?"

Cui Ke had mentioned before that he was skilled in both hacking and legitimate computing, making him a computer prodigy.

Having such a person in the company would be a valuable asset.

Xia Mian nodded, "If you’re willing, once your legs recover, you can join my company."

She didn’t feel it was beneath her.

After all, her company was filled with talented individuals.

Cui Ke smiled genuinely.

Xia Mian didn’t look down on him and was willing to let him help her!

Having received help from Xia Mian, he had nothing to repay her with but to use his professional skills to help protect her domain.

As Xia Mian chatted with Cui Ke, Sister-in-law Zhang had prepared a large table full of food.

Upon seeing the table full of dishes, Xia Mian couldn’t help but frown lightly, "Sister-in-law Zhang, there are only three of us."

Even with ten more people, this would be too much food!

Sister-in-law Zhang chuckled, handing a pair of chopsticks to Xia Mian, "Miss Xia, I just wanted you to try my cooking... There are more dishes I haven’t made yet..."

Xia Mian smiled helplessly, "Thank you for your kindness, Sister-in-law Zhang."

She could only eat first as a token of respect!

Sister-in-law Zhang hadn’t exaggerated; her cooking was excellent.

Each dish retained the original taste of the food, tender and smooth, leaving a lingering flavor.

Xia Mian blinked, thoughtful.

Could she open a restaurant in the Mystical World?

Even if cultivators didn’t need to eat, there’d be some, like her, who crave the flavors. As long as there’s interest, there’s a market!
