Chapter 148: Chapter 147 The Injured Angel
...
"I don’t like you one bit!" Xia Rou struggled hard, but couldn’t break free from Yan Xiaobao’s hands. "Go find someone who likes you, stop bothering me!"
"I know Rourou likes me, so that’s why I came to find Rourou. Hehe!" Yan Xiaobao clung to Xia Rou shamelessly. "Rourou, are you mad at me for being biased, giving Wife Tiantian a car and a house but not buying anything for you?"
"I don’t want it!" Xia Rou continued her stubbornness. "Even if you gave me something, I wouldn’t take it! Tiantian is your wife, I’m not. Why would I want your stuff?"
"Rourou, you are obviously my wife, and soon you’ll officially become my wife."
Yan Xiaobao said seriously to Xia Rou, then made a call: "Tang Wenjun, that fifty million advance is spent. Bring me another fifty million."
Tang Wenjun knew Yan Xiaobao rarely made requests, but when he did, there was absolutely no room for negotiation.
Even though it had only been a few days and now he had to prepare another fifty million in cash, it was a bit stressful for him. But he quickly reassured: "No problem, I’ll make sure to deliver the money within today."
"I don’t want your money, don’t..."
Before Xia Rou could finish her sentence, Yan Xiaobao made another call: "Liao Qihua, get me another house like the last one."
Liao Qihua had already gifted Yan Xiaobao a lakeside villa. The next day, Yan Xiaobao asked for another. He even kicked out his own brother-in-law to give the house to Yan Xiaobao. And now, on the third day, Yan Xiaobao was asking again...
Anyone else would surely think Yan Xiaobao was an insatiable black hole. A house per day? Even the world’s richest person couldn’t keep up with this pace...
But Liao Qihua didn’t think that way. He believed someone like Yan Xiaobao was more of an "immortal being." While his actions and words seemed unconventional—defying common logic—he definitely wasn’t someone who craved money and wealth.
Otherwise, when he was gravely ill and near death, that would have been the best time for Yan Xiaobao to "extort" money—there was no need to wait until now to ask for houses.
"There’s a small problem..." Liao Qihua said hesitantly. "There are no more lakeside villas available in Jiale Garden. I can ask my brother-in-law to move out, but I can’t expect other residents to relocate... How about I find a similarly high-quality villa in another development?"
"Sure." Yan Xiaobao didn’t make things unnecessarily difficult for Liao Qihua. After all, he wasn’t completely unreasonable.
Yan Xiaobao then prepared to call Qian Jiale to get him to deliver another Porsche. Xia Rou grabbed his arm and stopped him, "Yan Xiaobao! Do you think I’m some gold-digging materialistic girl? Let me tell you, no matter how much money you offer, no matter how expensive the house, I won’t accept it!"
"I don’t think you’re a gold digger." Yan Xiaobao responded. "It’s perfectly normal for a husband to give his wife gifts, isn’t it?"
Xia Rou: "I’m not your wife!"
Yan Xiaobao: "You will be very soon."
"I don’t have time for you!" Xia Rou didn’t want to argue further with Yan Xiaobao. She grabbed a stack of files and said, "I need to go to a meeting. Stop causing trouble!" frёewebnoѵēl.com
Yan Xiaobao watched Xia Rou’s silhouette fade into the distance and didn’t follow her. He quietly plotted to himself: Looks like I need to find a way to visit Rourou’s home and heal that patient of theirs. Once I’ve fixed everything, Rourou will have no choice but to officially agree to be my wife.
While Xia Rou went to the meeting, Yan Xiaobao found Gao Ming in the neighboring office. "Hey! Why haven’t you taken me to see your sister yet? Are you trying to back out? Better watch it, or I’ll teach you a lesson!"
Gao Ming immediately waved his hands in surrender and replied, "I haven’t backed out! My old man has already given his approval. It’s just... My sister’s not feeling well lately and doesn’t want to see outsiders..."
"Not feeling well?" Yan Xiaobao interrupted. "Your sister’s sick? Great, take me to her. No matter what the illness is, I’ll cure her in no time."
"Um... it’s not exactly like that..." Gao Ming hesitated and said. "She’s not physically ill... It’s more like she’s emotionally down..."
"That’s no problem either," Yan Xiaobao said casually. "Take me to her. Once she sees you’ve found such a handsome and capable husband for her, her mood will naturally improve."
Gao Ming: "..."
Finally, under Yan Xiaobao’s relentless persuasion, Gao Ming had no choice but to take leave from work and bring Yan Xiaobao to the Gao Family’s ancestral home.
The Gao Family’s ancestral home was a traditional courtyard with a history spanning over a century. Designed with three entrances and exits, it covered nearly three acres and was situated right in the middle of the city.
As Binhai City underwent continuous expansion, now encompassing over 500 square kilometers, countless properties were demolished and rebuilt. Yet, the Gao Family’s ancestral home stood firm, proving the family’s strong influence in Binhai City.
Gao Ming led Yan Xiaobao into their ancestral home and first went to see the Gao Family patriarch, Gao Yutang.
Gao Yutang had already heard from Gao Ming that Yan Xiaobao was the senior to Medical God Hua Mingyuan. Therefore, when meeting Yan Xiaobao, he didn’t dare to act superior. Instead, he greeted him respectfully, "Divine Doctor Yan, your esteemed visit brings great honor to our humble home! Please, have a seat. Do you prefer Dragon Well tea or Pu’er tea?"
"No tea for me." Yan Xiaobao waved dismissively. Without beating around the bush, he pointed at Gao Ming and said, "I’m here for his sister."
Gao Yutang was already aware of Yan Xiaobao’s intent and fully supported it. If his granddaughter could marry Yan Xiaobao, the Gao Family’s ties with Hua Mingyuan would be strengthened, which would be a tremendous boon for the family, renowned as a Jiangnan traditional medicine dynasty.
"I completely understand Divine Doctor Yan’s wishes. If Xiao Jing can form a lifelong union with you, it would be a wonderful blessing. Our family wholeheartedly approves." Gao Yutang spoke, though his expression grew troubled. "However, as for Xiao Jing right now... sigh..."
Yan Xiaobao grew impatient and asked, "Why are you beating around the bush? What’s the matter?"
"Here’s the thing..." Gao Yutang explained. "Last year when Xiao Jing went abroad for further studies, she got involved with a boyfriend. Later, the guy cheated on her—hooking up with her best friend. Xiao Jing caught them in bed together. They broke up after that, but Xiao Jing suffered a deep emotional trauma and hasn’t been able to recover from it. She’s still stuck in the shadow of that event..."
Gao Ming, seeing that his grandfather was candidly exposing the matter, opted not to hide anything either. He added, "Right now, my sister is like a completely closed-off door, cutting herself off entirely from the world. Besides Grandpa and me, she won’t let anyone come near her. Her mental state is worsening by the day and is on the verge of collapse. If things continue like this, she may completely fall apart..."
