Chapter 134 Wei Linlin
"Okay, okay, I will definitely be polite to him." Murong Meng replied with a voice message, helpless.
Sitting in the car, Chen Xuan rested his hands behind his head, closed his eyes, and pondered the matter of the Ling Replenishing Pill. Now that the medicinal ingredients were gathered, he could consider refining the pill.
The Ling Replenishing Pill was extremely important. Once successfully refined, Chen Xuan could try to train a few internal energy martial artists, and with them, his pressure could be reduced.
However, this Ling Replenishing Pill could not be made using primitive methods; it required a proper alchemy furnace.
Thus, Chen Xuan sent a message to Black Tiger, asking him to find a furnace.
At this moment, Murong Meng received a phone call, her expression changed slightly, and she said to Chen Xuan, "Chen Xuan, my family has something, I have to go home first."
With that said, Murong Meng, without any explanation, dropped Chen Xuan off at an intersection and then sped away in her car, completely disregarding Murong Yuan's instructions.
Chen Xuan gave a wry smile. Just as he was thinking about hailing a taxi to get back himself, he received a call from Su Yunxi.
"Chen Xuan, where are you? My dad wants you to come over and discuss something," Su Yunxi said on the phone.
Chen Xuan glanced at the unfamiliar surroundings and sighed, "I don't know where I am either."
"Shall I come pick you up?"
"No need, I'll take a taxi there."
"Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xuan managed to hail a taxi by the roadside and headed towards the Su family's residence.
...
The Murong Family.
When Murong Meng arrived at the Murong family's residence, many members of the Murong family were already seated in the living room.
Old Master Murong lay on the bed, his face dark and his breath weak, appearing to be gravely ill.
The Murong family members were all filled with grief.
Old Master Murong was the pillar of the Murong family. If he were to fall, at least half of the Murong family's connections would be lost.
"Uncle, can Grandpa be saved?" Murong Meng asked the worriedly to a distinguished-looking middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man was Murong Xing, the eldest son of the Murong family and Murong Meng's uncle. Murong Meng belonged to the second son's family, who were considered the least capable.
"There is a way to save him, but... alas!" Murong Xing trailed off and sighed heavily.
"What's going on?" Murong Meng asked with a frown.
Murong Xing explained, "The situation is like this, we consulted many famous doctors and searched for miraculous medicines. Finally, we found a pill from an old Chinese medicine practitioner that could heal your grandfather's internal injuries. However, that old practitioner demanded twenty percent of the Murong family's shares before he would provide the pill to treat your grandfather. We have been negotiating for a long time without any progress, so we called you here to discuss it."
"Twenty percent of the shares? With the Murong family's vast assets, twenty percent of the shares would be worth at least tens of billions. This is too much."
Murong Meng was also surprised. For ordinary medical consultations, paying millions or tens of millions was already considered high, and their Murong family would never hesitate, but this price was indeed outrageous.
"It is a bit excessive, and that's why we haven't been able to reach an agreement," Murong Xing shook his head.
Murong Meng's expression shifted. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Never mind, Grandpa is critically ill. Let it be twenty percent of the shares. We can all contribute."
Suddenly, a defiant young man heard this and stood up abruptly, sneering, "Contribute? You say it so easily. I think your family should be the one to pay!"
This young man was Murong Xu, Murong Xing's eldest son.
Murong Meng looked over, displeased, and asked, "Murong Xu, why should our family pay alone?"
"You are the only daughter in your family, what do you need shares for? When you get married in the future, they will still go to outsiders," Murong Xu said, puffing out his chest.
"That's right, it's no use for your family to hold shares, it's better to use them to get the pill for Grandpa."
"I agree with Murong Xu's statement!"
Many Murong family members, in order to protect their own shares, nodded in agreement!
There was no way around it. Murong Meng's lineage was not doing well, and it was up to this young girl, Murong Meng, to hold things together. If they didn't bully her, whom would they bully?
Murong Meng seemed to understand what was going on. She looked around at everyone present and said in a clear voice, "Is this why you asked me to come back?"
Having been seen through by Murong Meng, the faces of the Murong family members changed.
A member of the Murong family stepped forward and advised, "Xiao Meng, you need to be sensible. Only if Grandpa lives a long life can our Murong family prosper."
Some Murong family elders admonished her in a condescending manner, "Murong Meng, don't you want to save your grandfather?"
Murong Meng looked at the hypocritical faces of the Murong family members, filled with anger, and said furiously, "I can save Grandpa, but bullying me and treating me like a fool? No way!"
"Don't worry, I will find other ways to save Grandpa!" Murong Meng threw out these words and turned to leave.
The members of the Murong family gritted their teeth one by one.
The plan to persuade Murong Meng to use her shares to save Old Master Su ultimately failed.
In the end, no one was willing to contribute their shares to save Old Master Murong, and everyone dispersed unhappily.
Murong Xu looked at Murong Meng's receding back and gritted his teeth, "I'd like to see what person you can find to save the Old Master!"
At the same time.
Chen Xuan took a taxi to the Su family villa.
"Chen Xuan, please sit here for a while. My dad is entertaining guests and will come down from the study shortly." With that, Su Yunxi personally poured Chen Xuan a cup of tea.
Just then, a young girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, walked out of Su Yunxi's room. She was wearing heavy makeup, which made her appear very mature.
She walked over and affectionately put her arm around Su Yunxi's arm, "Sister Yunxi!"
"How was your trip to Jiangzhou today?" Su Yunxi asked.
"It was great, much more fun than the provincial capital. No wonder my dad didn't let me come out to play," the girl said playfully.
"Chen Xuan, this is Wei Linlin, the precious daughter of Uncle Wei." Su Yunxi introduced as she saw Chen Xuan looking over.
Chen Xuan immediately understood.wΑp.kanshu伍.net
It wasn't that Jiangzhou was that fun, but rather that Wei Changgeng was very strict with his daughter and didn't allow Wei Linlin to go out at all.
Wei Linlin blinked her big eyes and sized up Chen Xuan. She playfully asked, "Are you Sister Yunxi's fiancé? Quickly tell me, what magic did you use to capture the heart of the number one goddess in our Jiangnan Province?" kΑnshu伍.ξà
"Don't talk nonsense at such a young age. What number one goddess? That's all nonsense," Su Yunxi said with a playful scold.
Wei Linlin stuck out her tongue, but still puffed out her small chest, "She is indeed the number one goddess! This was decided by a forum poll."
Chen Xuan looked surprised. He hadn't expected Su Yunxi to have the title of Number One Goddess. It seemed he had won a beauty, and if this were to get out, who knew how many people would be envious.
"Miss Su, the Old Master has asked you to go upstairs," at this moment, the Su family butler walked over and said respectfully.
"I'll go up first. Don't say bad things about me," Su Yunxi warned Wei Linlin and then turned and went upstairs.
Chen Xuan sat on the sofa, playing with his phone idly, quietly waiting for Su Qian to come.
Suddenly, Chen Xuan's leg was kicked. He looked down and saw a pair of slender white legs. His gaze moved up, and he saw Wei Linlin with her arms crossed, chewing gum, swaying back and forth, completely different from the playful girl from before.
"Are you married? Are you still in contact with your ex-wife?" Wei Linlin narrowed her eyes and stared at Chen Xuan as she spoke.
Chen Xuan said indifferently, "Does that have anything to do with you?"
"Of course it does. Sister Yunxi is like my own sister, and I have to vet you for her." Wei Linlin had an air of being worldly wise beyond her years.
"How are you going to vet me?" Chen Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.
"Then, how about this? You kill your ex-wife and bankrupt her family. Then I'll turn a blind eye and agree to you being together." Wei Linlin smiled, but her smile was like that of a little devil.
