And this was all in a mere half hour!
"Xiao Min, I... I think I can hear sounds now, but not very clearly..."
Madam Gao's words shattered the quiet atmosphere. Gao Min quickly scrambled over, her eyes filled with gratitude!
"Thank you, Er Zhu, thank you for treating my mother! I will definitely repay you by working like a horse and serving like an ox!"
Gao Min knelt before Er Zhu, kowtowing continuously to thank him. Although her forehead was almost broken, she didn't feel any pain!
In just half an hour, her mother could hear sounds. Though not perfectly clear, it was still a significant breakthrough!
"Xiao Min, please get up. This is all I should do. You don't need to be so polite."
Er Zhu quickly helped Gao Min up. The warmth of his palm sent ripples through Gao Min's heart. For the first time, Gao Min felt a flutter of emotion!
Thirty years, and this was the first time she had felt this way. Was this the heartbeat of love?
Gao Min clutched her chest, her face growing redder and redder, her mind going blank!
"Mr. Zhang, please be careful not to fall."
"Although Xiao Min's family is not well-off, she is a beautiful girl and a senior executive at a company under the Liu Group!"
...
Gao Min's excited mood instantly plummeted. A flicker of loneliness and helplessness flashed in her eyes. What was meant to come would eventually come. She wondered who this person was.
"Xiao Min, Mr. Zhang is here. Mr. Zhang, this is Xiao Min. She's never been in a relationship before."
Just then, Aunt Wu happened to walk in. She grabbed Gao Min and introduced her to the man beside her, who was shaking his head back and forth.
Er Zhu glanced at Mr. Zhang. This kind of fellow, he wasn't even a spoiled brat, just a second-generation rich kid...
"You're Xiao Min, right? My name is Zhang Liansheng. Our Zhang family has forty to fifty shops in Huaibei City. If you were to be with me in the future, I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury."
Seeing Gao Min's delicate and pretty face, Zhang Liansheng almost drooled. He showed off with an arrogant tone.
Well, not only a spoiled brat, but a stupid spoiled brat...
Er Zhu curled his lips speechlessly. If Gao Min really got together with him, it would be a waste of her entire being!
"Haha, you two chat. I'll go home and cook now."
Seeing Zhang Liansheng's eyes glued to Gao Min, Aunt Wu knew this matter was sure to succeed. She winked at Gao Min and hurried home.
This might even be settled tonight!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I don't think we're suitable. I wish you find your ideal partner!"
As soon as Aunt Wu left, Gao Min directly refused Zhang Liansheng. Judging by his appearance, he was a rich man. Rich men shouldn't be lacking women, right?
"Tch, do you really think I'm here for a blind date? With your looks, you're only fit to be my mistress!"
Zhang Liansheng snorted coldly, his eyes full of contempt and disdain.
As the esteemed young master of the Zhang family, he would never lack wives. What he lacked were all sorts of women!
"What do you mean by that?" Gao Min was stunned, frowning at Zhang Liansheng, a flicker of anger rising in her heart.
"Let me tell you the truth. Besides a wife, I have five other women. For the first year, I'll only be with you. After a year, I'll visit once a week. You cannot have any other man besides me. You must bear me a son, and I will help you raise your mother."
Seeing that Gao Min still seemed a bit hesitant, Zhang Liansheng blurted out his intentions in one go. Hearing this, Gao Min found it utterly preposterous!
Er Zhu was even more speechless. Truly, he encountered all sorts of oddballs...
"No need. I will take care of my mother myself. Besides, Er Zhu is already treating her. I will never be a mistress to anyone in this lifetime!"
Gao Min shook her head. She pointed to Er Zhu beside her and replied with absolute certainty.
She was unwilling to go on a blind date in the first place, let alone share one man with six women!
She had never imagined that such absurd things still happened in this new era!
"Treating illness? Who are you fooling? This young man can cure your mother's terminal illness?"
Following Gao Min's finger, Zhang Liansheng finally saw Er Zhu. Recalling what he had just said and seeing Er Zhu's calm expression, Zhang Liansheng became even more enraged!
He had never been ignored like this by the young master of the Zhang family!
"Yes, I can hear sounds now. This is all thanks to Er Zhu."
Before Gao Min could speak, Madam Gao on the sofa nodded repeatedly. Although she couldn't hear very clearly, she could still make out a few words.
"Stop!" Seeing the patient speak, Zhang Liansheng became even angrier. He pointed at Er Zhu and shouted.
"What are you doing? Mr. Zhang, don't push it too far!"
Gao Min didn't expect Zhang Liansheng to directly interfere with Er Zhu's treatment. She rushed forward, wanting to protect Er Zhu, but before she could take a few steps, Zhang Liansheng pulled her into his arms: "There's no woman I want that I can't have!"
Before Gao Min could react, Zhang Liansheng shoved her away. As she was about to rush back, she was stopped by two bodyguards.
"Stop if you don't want to die, did you hear me!"
With another roar, except for the bodyguard holding Gao Min, all the other bodyguards charged forward. They surrounded Er Zhu tightly!
But Er Zhu didn't even raise his head. He gently manipulated the silver needles, and Madam Gao's hearing recovered more and more quickly!
"Go, kill him for me!"
Seeing that Er Zhu still ignored him, boundless rage was about to consume Zhang Liansheng. He waved his hand, and all the bodyguards instantly rushed forward.
"Er Zhu, run quickly!"
Gao Min shouted from the doorway, but Er Zhu seemed deaf to her calls. He remained unresponsive no matter how much she yelled.
"So he's deaf!"
Seeing that Er Zhu still didn't move, Zhang Liansheng assumed Er Zhu was deaf. A trace of contempt flashed in his enraged eyes.
"Ah, my hand!"
"Let go of me, you deaf mute, hurry and let go of me!"
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
...
At this moment, sounds of groans echoed. Zhang Liansheng and Gao Min looked up, and the scene before them stunned them completely!
The bodyguards' wrists were all pierced with silver needles. Er Zhu was still treating Madam Gao, but the three bodyguards in front of him were lying at his feet, writhing in pain!
Instantly, the room fell silent like death. Zhang Liansheng, in particular, looked at Er Zhu as if he had seen a ghost!
When did this kid make his move? When did those bodyguards fall to the ground? Why couldn't he remember any of it...
That memory seemed to have never existed, yet he had been staring intently at the deaf mute!
At the doorway, a look of admiration flashed in Gao Min's shocked eyes. She gazed at Er Zhu's resolute profile like a fangirl, her heart pounding!
