Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 712 - 715 Shen Manxuan

Shen Manxuan's condescending tone left Liu Ergou completely stunned.

Is this how she talks business? So condescending? This sounds more like she's looking for trouble!

With this in mind, Liu Ergou nodded. "That's right, I'm Liu Ergou. What can I do for you? If you have business, let's get to it. Neither of us wants to waste time, right?"

Shen Manxuan frowned at his hurried tone. She suppressed her anger and said, "I didn't come here for anything else. The matter is simple: you are not to oppose my son anymore. Do you hear me?"

Liu Ergou's mind filled with questions. Her son? Who is her son? I don't know who she's talking about.

Standing nearby, Lu Xiaoyu couldn't help but facepalm. She's being so incoherent, who could possibly understand her? If Liu Ergou weren't so good-tempered, he'd probably be arguing with her already.

At this thought, Lu Xiaoyu spoke up, "Er Gou, she means Yuan Wenkang. You know him, he's the one pursuing Shuang Yue."

Liu Ergou had a sudden realization. No wonder this woman looked so familiar—she's Yuan Wenkang's mother! How interesting. She actually came alone to warn me not to oppose her son. She's not even afraid something might happen to her.

With that thought, Liu Ergou said, "Ah, so that's it. You're Yuan Wenkang's mother. But why should I listen to you? Besides, this is a fight between us. What does it have to do with you? Why are you intervening?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Manxuan slammed her hand on the coffee table. "What's wrong with me intervening?" she said coldly. "Yuan Wenkang is my son. If I don't look out for him, who will? I'm telling you, no one is allowed to go against Wenkang. You'd best know your place! If you don't, then don't blame me for getting nasty. I can't guarantee what will happen then!"

With that, Shen Manxuan gave Liu Ergou a cold glare. However, he didn't feel threatened in the slightest. On the contrary, he found the situation rather amusing.

It was a common trope: mess with the kid, and the parent shows up. That's normal. But for someone like her to issue a direct, in-person warning is rare. Usually, they resort to dirty tricks, destroying you behind your back so you die without ever knowing who did it.

Liu Ergou suddenly found Shen Manxuan rather amusing. She's got a brain, but it doesn't seem to work very well. This might give me some room to maneuver.

With this in mind, Liu Ergou said bluntly, "Oh, you want me to stop opposing Yuan Wenkang? Simple. But some things can't be settled with just words. I can't just give up everything because you said so, can I? How am I supposed to make a living? I might as well go hang myself!"

Shen Manxuan naturally understood his implication. Hearing this, she knew he was backing down, and a cold smirk appeared on her lips. She crossed one leg, clad in white silk stockings, over the other. The skirt she wore was a little short, and the movement gave Liu Ergou an eyeful.

However, Liu Ergou's expression didn't betray a thing; he remained as calm as ever.

Looking at Liu Ergou, Shen Manxuan said, "I get it. You just want something out of this, don't you? Fine. I'll satisfy you. Name your price. How much money do you want?"

After saying this, she leaned back on the sofa, waiting for his response. But before Liu Ergou could speak, she seemed to think of something and suddenly added, "Oh, right. Before you name your price, let me give you a reminder. Think carefully about the amount you ask for. Don't get too greedy. While I can give you the money, I can't guarantee you'll live long enough to spend it."

Having said her piece, she reclined on the sofa once more.

After hearing this, Liu Ergou mentally tagged her with a new label. She's got a brain, just not a big one.

After a moment of silence, Liu Ergou said, "Since you put it that way, I won't ask for the moon. Give me 10 million, and I guarantee I'll never oppose Yuan Wenkang again. How about it? For the great Yuan Family, 10 million shouldn't be a problem, right?"

A hint of surprise flickered across Shen Manxuan's face. She hadn't expected him to ask for so little. Without hesitation, she took a checkbook from her bag, wrote out a check for 10 million, and tossed it to him.

"This is a check for 10 million. You can cash it at any bank," she said. "But let me be clear. If you take this money and still dare to oppose my son, our next conversation won't be nearly this pleasant. Understand?"

Liu Ergou immediately gave his assurance. "I'm not good at much, but there are two things I'm great at. One of them is keeping my word."

With that, Liu Ergou pocketed the check.

Seeing him do so, Shen Manxuan couldn't help but ask, "And the other thing? What's the other thing you're great at?"

Liu Ergou was stunned for a moment before a playful smile spread across his face. He was surprised she had actually asked. "That one? Are you sure you want to know, Madame Yuan?" he asked, looking at her with that same playful smile.

Shen Manxuan understood his insinuation instantly, and her face darkened.

"Hmph! Sharp-tongued rogue!"

Without another word, she stood up, walked to the door, put on her shoes, and left.

Liu Ergou and Lu Xiaoyu watched until her figure disappeared from sight before looking away.

Leaning back on the sofa, Liu Ergou asked perplexedly, "Xiaoyu, what was that all about? Why did Yuan Wenkang's mother come looking for me? And just for that? It's ridiculous. The way she acts... I get the feeling her brain doesn't work right."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoyu burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! Er Gou, you're one to talk about someone else's brain not working right!"
