Chapter 305: You Don βt Know Enough about Women
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xia Chengzhu was about to get angry, but when he saw how fast and accurately Zhao Chuchu applied the needles, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
Zhao Chuchu played a trick when she applied the needles. She would not kill Xia Chengxue but could make him suffer a lot of pain.
She did not intend to cure Xia Chengxue, but she would make him able to speak and move. But beyond that, he would always be a useless person.
The unspeakable Xia Chengxue only felt a sharp pain in his soul, but his whole body could not move, so he was the only one who knew the pain.
Zhao Chuchu pretended not to see his sad and pleading eyes and quickly pushed the silver needles into each acupoint.
Xia Chengxue was in so much pain that he wanted to die so he wouldnβt suffer this unbearable physical pain.
βMr. Chengxue, you have to bear it. It will be excruciating, but your condition will improve only by applying the needles. Otherwise, you will have to lie in bed for the rest of your life and cannot move.β Only then did Zhao Chuchu reassure Xia Chengxue. βThis kind of pain is nothing compared to being an invalid.β
Xia Chengxue just could not talk. Otherwise, he would have cursed and even had Zhao Chuchu killed.
Seeing the killing intent under Xia Chengxueβs eyes, Zhao Chuchu smiled. βThis is just the beginning. There will be more pain next, and you must bear it.β Xia Chengxue cursed viciously at Zhao Chuchu in his heart.
Xia Chengzhu suddenly had a bad feeling when he saw the cold sweat on Xia
Chengxueβs forehead.
He thought, βCan Miss Lin really cure Xia Chengxue?β
He didnβt mind raising Xia Chengxue if Xia Chengxue was crippled, but he definitely didnβt want Xia Chengxue to compete with him for the Xia clan.
If Xia Chengxue got well, he was only afraid that his father would give Xia
Chengxue a lot of benefits to make up for him, and then his fortune would become less.
Xia Chengzhu looked at Xia Chengxue and came up with an evil intention.
Xia Chengxue was in so much pain that he was about to lose consciousness, so he couldnβt care less what his second brother was planning.
Instead, Zhao Chuchu, watching indifferently from the side, took in Xia Chengzhuβs reaction.
She lowered her head to cover the smile under her eyes. She thought, βThe people of the Xia clan actually fight among themselves after such a slight provocation. β
She wondered how long the Xia clan would be able to support themselves.
Even the current head of the family, Xia Songquan, was also that kind of foolish person. Thanks to the Xia clanβs ancestors who saved up a lot of money, or else how could they afford to waste it and last until now?
After 15 minutes, Zhao Chuchu removed the silver needles from Xia Chengxueβs body.
Xia Chengxue only felt as if his strength had been drained from his body, lying on the bed like a puddle of mud.
But soon, he felt as if he could move his back.
After the criminals beat him, he couldnβt move any part of his body except his eyes and mouth and could only feel pain.
The hatred from the severe pain disappeared, and Xia Chengxue only felt excited and thrilled.
In that case, he would soon be able to get back on his feet and continue to be the powerful Mr. Chengxue of the Xia clan. At that time, he would definitely find the person who had beaten him and pay back the pain he had suffered thousand times over.
And that included his good second brother!
Thinking of this, Xia Chengxue gave Xia Chengzhu a vicious look.
Xia Chengzhu felt Xia Chengxueβs hatred and subconsciously looked over, but Xia Chengxue had already returned to his usual self, so Xia Chengzhu thought it was his illusion.
Zhao Chuchu put away the silver needles and said to Xia Chengzhu, βAlthough the chance of a cure is not great, he will soon be able to move and will not have to continue to lie in bed as an invalid. The consultation feeβ¦
Xia Chengzhu smiled. βMiss Lin, donβt worry. Iβll pay you the consultation fee.β
Then he turned his head and said, βSomeone, go to the accountant and withdraw one thousand taels of silver for Miss Lin. Tell them itβs for Mr.
Chengxueβs medical consultation.β
βMr. Chengzhu, we need to get Old Mr. Xiaβs permission to withdraw such a large amount of money.β
βWhat do you mean? My father canβt even spare the consultation fee for my fifth brother?β
βNo, Mr. Chengzhuβ¦β
βYouβre teaching me how to do things?β
The subordinate immediately silenced his voice.
Xia Chengzhu gave a cold snort.
βIf my father asks, he wonβt blame you when he knows what the money is for.β
βWellβ¦ Iβll go ask.β
That person hurriedly ran away, afraid that Xia Chengzhu would still make a more outrageous decision.
The Xia clan was still in charge of Xia Songquan. Xia Chengzhu could only withdraw a maximum of five hundred taels of silver from the accountant, and anything beyond that would only be possible with Xia Songquanβs nod.
Even if it was to pay for Xia Chengxueβs medical treatment, that person did not dare to delay and still ran to Xia Songquan first.
After hearing this, Xia Songquan waved his hand. βGo and give it to her.β
The Xia clan was not short of such a small amount of money. Since they were bent on coaxing Miss Lin into the Xia clan, this small amount of money still had to be paid.
βWait, β Xia Songquan suddenly shouted at that person again.
That person came back. βWhat else do you want, Old Mr. Xia?β
βOne thousand taels is not enough. Go and give five thousand taels to Miss Lin.β
Lu Ming, who was serving at the side, frowned slightly. βOld Mr. Xia, is five thousand taels too much? It will be difficult to control her if she becomes greedy in the future.β
βNo, itβs easier to control her if she is greedy. For Miss Lin, the Xia clan is not short of money. Can people who are used to a life of luxury and comfort live a hard life again? Lu Ming, you still do not know enough about women!β βYou are right, Old Mr. Xia. Iβm too short-sighted.β
βYou just wait to see. Miss Lin will soon take the bait. A womanβs nobility is mostly pretended so that men will think she is different. However, women donβt know that such tricks are useless in menβs eyes. It only depends on whether men want to expose them or not.β
βThat makes sense, Old Mr. Xia. Iβve learned a lot.β
βLu Ming, why donβt you marry a woman to live a happy life after all these years?β
βIβm used to being alone. Iβm afraid itβs hard to adapt if thereβs another one on my pillow. Anywvay, Iβve been in such an old age, so it doesnβt matter if I have a wife. I just want my nephew to nourish me in my old age and give me a proper burial after I die.β
βYou indeed have an open mind, but it is better to have your own child. Why donβt you see if thereβs a woman you like in my courtyard and go pick one yourself?β
βThank you, Old Mr. Xia, but I really have no interest in women now. Helping you properly manage the Xia clanβs affairs is the most important thing for me.β
βHaha, Lu Ming, you are the oddest man I have ever seen. Some men like women, and some men like men, but youβre the first one who doesnβt like both men and women.β
Lu Ming smiled helplessly. βI want to, but Iβm unable to do it.β
βOh? How about letting Miss Lin take a look at you? Isnβt Chengxue looking for her to cure him? If you can be cured, Iβll let her treat you.β
βThen Iβll thank you in advance, Old Mr. Xia.β
βBy the way, you have been in our Xia clan for decades. We were all young and energetic back then, but I never thought we would all be old in a flash. Time flies!β
βYes, time flies. Things are still the same, but people are notβ¦β Lu Ming sighed and said this meaningfully..
