Mr. Gu froze entirely upon hearing Xia Qingtian’s drunken ramblings.
Seeing Mr. Gu’s silence, Xia Qingtian narrowed her drunken eyes: “Speak up, will you? Sister will support you, okay? Sister has money!”
As Xia Qingtian spoke, she hooked the hand that was touching Mr. Gu’s face around his neck. With her other hand, she fumbled for a while on the side of her pocketless dress, unable to find any money. Xia Qingtian herself was getting a bit anxious.
Afterward, Xia Qingtian’s hand moved to Mr. Gu’s abdomen, tracing its way upwards, unbuttoning his suit jacket one by one.
Xia Qingtian’s fingertips were burning hot, as if igniting a small flame on Mr. Gu’s body, making his mouth dry.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Mr. Gu wanted to grab Xia Qingtian’s hand to stop her from causing trouble.
But at this moment, Xia Qingtian reached into the inner pocket of Mr. Gu’s suit, pulled out a black card, and then smiled with satisfaction: “Found it~”
Immediately after, Xia Qingtian slapped the black card onto Mr. Gu’s face with a “bang”: “See? Sister has money! This card… *hic*… take it and swipe! Swipe it until it’s maxed out!”
Mr. Gu’s mouth twitched. What was he supposed to say?
Thank you?
Use his card to support him, and let him max it out?
Mr. Gu felt that Xia Qingtian had truly mastered the art of getting something for nothing.
“Qingtian!” Yue Cheng Dong’s old face flushed red; he couldn’t bear to watch!
Not only did Xia Qingtian look like Yue Qiyan, but her terrible drinking habits were exactly the same as Yue Qiyan’s back then!
This was truly unbearable!
While apologizing to Mr. Gu, Yue Cheng Dong pulled Xia Qingtian off Mr. Gu: “Qingtian! Stop fooling around!”
Xia Qingtian, drunk, looked at Yue Cheng Dong, seeming a little surprised that the handsome man had suddenly turned into her great-uncle. She pinched Yue Cheng Dong’s cheek and began to sigh with a complicated expression: “Time spares no one, does it?”
“Ouch! It hurts! Qingtian! Don’t be silly! Ouch! It hurts!” Yue Cheng Dong couldn’t escape Xia Qingtian’s pinching hand, his expression somewhat disheveled.
“Men, when they get old, they’re not worth much. You shouldn’t swipe that card, just give it back to me…” Xia Qingtian withdrew her hand, clutching the black card as if it were a treasure.
“That’s not your card!” Yue Cheng Dong didn’t know if his face or his heart hurt more at that moment.
In any case, after finally getting the room full of drunkards settled, sending those who needed to be sent to their rooms and preparing hangover soup for those who needed it, Yue Cheng Dong somewhat wearily ushered Mr. Gu and Dean Hao to the bedside of the Yue family patriarch: “Dean Hao, thank you for taking a look.”
Dean Hao, with white hair at his temples, first took the Yue family patriarch’s pulse, then checked his eyes and tongue. He then said with a smile: “Patriarch Yue is blessed with great fortune. As long as he rests well, there will be no problem.”
“Is that so? That’s wonderful!” Hearing Dean Hao’s words, Yue Cheng Dong also breathed a sigh of relief.
Dean Hao prescribed two more doses of medicine and gave some advice before stating that he had other patients to attend to and had to leave.
As Dean Hao was leaving, Mr. Gu also walked out. Yue Cheng Dong escorted them out, saying apologetically to Mr. Gu: “Mr. Gu, I’m truly sorry about today. I’ve made a spectacle of myself.”
“It’s alright. Miss Xia is straightforward and cute. It’s quite nice.” Mr. Gu’s smile was subtle, and a hint of indulgence appeared in his eyes.
“Well… hehe…” Yue Cheng Dong said with a dry laugh, “Well… about that black card, I’ll return it to you when you come for the banquet tomorrow.”
“It’s fine. It’s just a black card. If Miss Xia likes it, it would be my honor.” Mr. Gu’s smile deepened.
“Hehehe, Mr. Gu is too kind.” Yue Cheng Dong’s smile froze as he sent Mr. Gu and Dean Hao out of the Yue family’s old residence.
As soon as he got into the car, Dean Hao teased Mr. Gu: “It’s good to be young, to be liked by young girls.”
“Teacher, please don’t tease me.” Mr. Gu couldn’t help but show a wry smile.
“Haha.” Dean Hao laughed heartily: “Given this good show, I won’t blame you for dragging me out of the hospital. Now, take me back. I have surgery to perform later tonight.”
“Yes, teacher.” Mr. Gu replied before ordering the driver to start the car.
As the car drove forward, Mr. Gu looked back at the Yue family’s old residence, which was getting further away.
With Xia Qingtian around, perhaps the Yue family’s tragedy could also be changed… probably.
Meanwhile, in a detached villa district in Kyoto, a middle-aged man who had been sitting upright on the sofa raised his pale and bloodless face, his eyes full of sinister intent: “Damn Tang family…”
“Uncle Miao Er, are you alright?” the young man beside him asked with concern.
Why was he fine a moment ago, and then suddenly spat out such a large mouthful of blood?
“It’s nothing. It’s the Tang family meddling that broke my蠱 (gu – a type of curse or poison),” the man called Uncle Miao Er said, clenching his fist. “Damn it!”
“The Tang family?” The young man’s expression remained unchanged, and he then asked, “Then Patriarch Yue…”
“With the 蠱 (gu) broken, that old fellow won’t die for the time being,” Uncle Miao Er took an ice pack and wiped his forehead. “The son 蠱 (gu) was killed, and the mother 蠱 (gu) backfired. Even I need a few days to recover.”
“But the boss wants the Yue family patriarch’s birthday to be a death anniversary… Can’t you think of another way?” the young man asked.
“Do you think casting 蠱 (gu) is that simple? If I hadn’t cultivated a son 蠱 (gu) on that old fellow’s private doctor first, and tampered with his medicine, how could that old man have been easily cursed?” Uncle Miao Er said displeasedly. “If I need to raise a new 蠱 (gu), it will take at least fifteen days. If you’re in a hurry, find another expert!”
Uncle Miao Er was also very unhappy. He realized that ever since his useless elder brother found the whereabouts of the Miao family’s eldest legitimate son, his luck had started to turn sour.
It seemed that the prophecy from that expert back then was correct; the Miao family’s eldest brother’s lineage was his nemesis!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have started having bad luck since his brother’s son was born, and his own later-born son had always been frail and sickly.
Only after he got rid of that unlucky star did his fortune begin to improve, and his sickly son grew stronger day by day.
Now his son and daughter were the pillars of Miao’s Pharmaceutical Company. How could he let that unlucky star return at this time?
He absolutely would not allow it!
Compared to dealing with the Yue family patriarch, who had one foot in the grave, that unlucky star who had yet to show himself was his primary enemy.
Those useless people back then had failed to handle the situation, allowing that kid to escape by jumping from the car. This time, he would handle it personally.
To eliminate the threat forever!
