Chapter 305: You Don โt 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 wouldnโt suffer this unbearable physical pain.
โMr. 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.โ Only then did Zhao Chuchu reassure Xia Chengxue. โThis kind of pain is nothing compared to being an invalid.โ
Xia Chengxue just could not talk. Otherwise, he would have cursed and even had Zhao Chuchu killed.
Seeing the killing intent under Xia Chengxueโs eyes, Zhao Chuchu smiled. โThis is just the beginning. There will be more pain next, and you must bear it.โ 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
Chengxueโs forehead.
He thought, โCan Miss Lin really cure Xia Chengxue?โ
He didnโt mind raising Xia Chengxue if Xia Chengxue was crippled, but he definitely didnโt 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 couldnโt care less what his second brother was planning.
Instead, Zhao Chuchu, watching indifferently from the side, took in Xia Chengzhuโs reaction.
She lowered her head to cover the smile under her eyes. She thought, โThe people of the Xia clan actually fight among themselves after such a slight provocation. โ
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 clanโs 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 Chengxueโs 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 couldnโt 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 Chengxueโs 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, โAlthough 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 feeโฆ
Xia Chengzhu smiled. โMiss Lin, donโt worry. Iโll pay you the consultation fee.โ
Then he turned his head and said, โSomeone, go to the accountant and withdraw one thousand taels of silver for Miss Lin. Tell them itโs for Mr.
Chengxueโs medical consultation.โ
โMr. Chengzhu, we need to get Old Mr. Xiaโs permission to withdraw such a large amount of money.โ
โWhat do you mean? My father canโt even spare the consultation fee for my fifth brother?โ
โNo, Mr. Chengzhuโฆโ
โYouโre teaching me how to do things?โ
The subordinate immediately silenced his voice.
Xia Chengzhu gave a cold snort.
โIf my father asks, he wonโt blame you when he knows what the money is for.โ
โWellโฆ Iโll go ask.โ
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 Songquanโs nod.
Even if it was to pay for Xia Chengxueโs medical treatment, that person did not dare to delay and still ran to Xia Songquan first.
After hearing this, Xia Songquan waved his hand. โGo and give it to her.โ
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.
โWait, โ Xia Songquan suddenly shouted at that person again.
That person came back. โWhat else do you want, Old Mr. Xia?โ
โOne thousand taels is not enough. Go and give five thousand taels to Miss Lin.โ
Lu Ming, who was serving at the side, frowned slightly. โOld Mr. Xia, is five thousand taels too much? It will be difficult to control her if she becomes greedy in the future.โ
โNo, itโs 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!โ โYou are right, Old Mr. Xia. Iโm too short-sighted.โ
โYou just wait to see. Miss Lin will soon take the bait. A womanโs nobility is mostly pretended so that men will think she is different. However, women donโt know that such tricks are useless in menโs eyes. It only depends on whether men want to expose them or not.โ
โThat makes sense, Old Mr. Xia. Iโve learned a lot.โ
โLu Ming, why donโt you marry a woman to live a happy life after all these years?โ
โIโm used to being alone. Iโm afraid itโs hard to adapt if thereโs another one on my pillow. Anywvay, Iโve been in such an old age, so it doesnโt 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.โ
โYou indeed have an open mind, but it is better to have your own child. Why donโt you see if thereโs a woman you like in my courtyard and go pick one yourself?โ
โThank you, Old Mr. Xia, but I really have no interest in women now. Helping you properly manage the Xia clanโs affairs is the most important thing for me.โ
โHaha, Lu Ming, you are the oddest man I have ever seen. Some men like women, and some men like men, but youโre the first one who doesnโt like both men and women.โ
Lu Ming smiled helplessly. โI want to, but Iโm unable to do it.โ
โOh? How about letting Miss Lin take a look at you? Isnโt Chengxue looking for her to cure him? If you can be cured, Iโll let her treat you.โ
โThen Iโll thank you in advance, Old Mr. Xia.โ
โBy 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!โ
โYes, time flies. Things are still the same, but people are notโฆโ Lu Ming sighed and said this meaningfully..
