Chapter Seventy-Five: The Beauty's Request

  "Xiao Ying told me!" Liu Meng smiled, "Right, little rascal, I borrowed 100 yuan from Hanhan to take a taxi, you remember to help me pay it back!"

  "Hanhan?" Liu Yunman was speechless. Aunt actually went to borrow money from Hanhan who wasn't even ten years old?

  "Right, I promised to pay her back 1,000 yuan more and she lent it to me." Liu Meng added.

  Liu Yunman was speechless again, even if it's usury, it can't be this outrageous, right?

  In the summer, he once again felt that he didn't like little girls was right. That little girl called Hanhan was indeed a big troublemaker and even lent his wife usury.

  "Little rascal, I've been lying in bed for twenty years and I'm almost suffocated to death. What do you say we go do something fun?" asked Liu Meng of Xia Tian.

  "I don't know either." Xia Tian also shook his head, "I've been on the mountain for 16 years, I can only catch leopards and black bears, it's not very interesting."

  "Leopard or black bear?" Liu Meng's eyes lit up instantly, "That must be a lot of fun, take me to play!"

  "We have to go up the mountain for that!" Xia Tian didn't want to go back to the mountain now, "I'll take you there another time, okay?"

  Liu Yunman couldn't help but feel that her aunt and Xia Tian might really be a good match, one having been in a coma for sixteen years and the other having lived in isolation on a mountain for sixteen years, both of them disconnected from modern society.

  Of course, what's most troubling Liu Yunman is still the relationship between her aunt and Xia Tian. She thinks she should have a good talk with Xia Tian in private, given his relationship with her aunt, she can no longer fulfill that agreement. For the health of her family members, she's willing to be his mistress, but the problem lies in that she cannot accept the fact that she and her aunt belong to the same man.

  Just as she was thinking about how to solve this matter, her phone rang again.

  "Xiao Man, it's me, your Aunt Mei San." A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

  "Mei San Shu, you're looking for me? Something's up?" Yun Man was a bit surprised. She had five Mei San Shus, fortunately they didn't share the same surname, so when addressing them, she would add their surname before "San Shu", which avoided confusion. This Mei San Shu happened to be Hanhan's mother, the youngest among her five Mei San Shus. Since Yun Man rarely interacted with this particular Mei San Shu, receiving a call from her was quite unusual.

  "Xiao Man, I'd like to invite Xia Shenyi out for a meal and discuss some things with him. Can you help me get in touch with him?" Mei Sanpo directly explained the reason for finding Liu Yunman.

  "Mei San Shu, when were you thinking of inviting him for dinner?" asked Liu Yun Man.

  "For tonight, I've booked a private room at your aunt's restaurant near your house." Mei San Shu replied.

  "Alright, I'll take him there later." Yúnmàn answered, anyway she and Xiàtiān were going out for dinner tonight, she didn't ask Xiàtiān's opinion because she hoped he could meet Méi Sān Shěn once, she was very clear that Méi Sān Shěn had come mainly to treat her illness.

  Hanging up the phone, Liu Yunman turned to the two people who were close together: "Auntie, Xia Tian, let's go eat!"

  "Great, I'm just a little hungry!" Liu Meng jumped up happily and touched her belly, "It's strange, my appetite has been quite big lately, could I be pregnant?"

  Liu Yunman had the urge to hit her head against the wall, was this aunt really clueless or just pretending to be? Not to mention that she and Xia Tian hadn't even done that yet, even if something like that did happen, it's not possible for a baby to come so quickly, right?

  Mei San Shu's real name is Mei Ruo Ting, originally an ordinary clerk in the Liu Qi company. She was later favored by Liu Qi and became his fifth wife. Of course, this wife had no official status, but Liu Qi treated all five wives equally, none of whom had a marriage certificate. In theory, Liu Qi still counts as an unmarried young man to this day.

  Mei Ruoting's family conditions were very poor, and she was already quite content to have found such a man. However, regarding Liu Qi's unspoken secret, she also had her own thoughts. A person who wasn't in good health to begin with, having five beautiful wives, would naturally exhaust his energy faster. Now, even with the help of medicine, Liu Qi could hardly regain his vitality. That's why when Xia Tian first mentioned this matter, Mei Ruoting already believed in his medical skills by 70 or 80 percent.

  Later, the little girl who had been in a coma for over a decade was awakened and cured, and she became completely convinced that Xia Tian was indeed a divine doctor. However, the problem was that her husband had already offended Xia Tian, and she also learned from her mother-in-law that Xia Tian had set a condition: he wanted half of her husband's property in exchange for treating his illness.

  Actually, Mei Ruoting felt that although the condition was a bit exaggerated, it was not unacceptable. Half of the property was over 20 million, which sounded like a lot, but they were going to help ten people in her family get treated for their illnesses. Divided among each person, it would be only two million per person. Two million could cure a terminal illness, and many people might be willing to do that.

  Besides, she thought that even if they lost half of it, there would still be over 200 million left. And her husband's company had always been profitable, so even if they lost those 200 million, their family wouldn't lack money at all, no big deal.

  Unfortunately, her husband Liu Qi didn't think so. He thought Xia Tian was just blackmailing and refused to agree to the condition. Helpless, Mei Ruoting had to secretly find Xia Tian to talk it over, hoping he could lower his demands a bit.

  Mei Ruoting called Liu Yunman when she was actually already in the restaurant, but she didn't wait for long, about fifteen minutes later, Xia Tian had arrived.

  Seeing the little bird leaning against Xia Tian's willow dream, Mei Ruoting was shocked. How did this little girl end up with Xia Shen? Wasn't Xia Shen supposed to be Xiao Man's boyfriend?

  Although she was suspicious in her heart, Mei Ruoting remained calm on the surface and quickly stood up to greet them: "Dr. Xia, you're here! Please sit down quickly! Xiao Meng, Xiao Man, you two also sit down!"

  Although in terms of real age, Liu Meng is a few years older than Mei Ruoting, but in terms of seniority, Mei Ruoting is Liu Meng's third sister. She followed Liu Qi to call Liu Meng "Little Dream", which didn't seem to be a problem.

  Liu Meng was quite satisfied with this title. After lying in bed for over a decade, her mental age seemed to still be in her teens.

  "Hehe, Third Sister, you sit down too." Liu Meng said to Mei Ruoting.

  "Summer, I apologize for my husband's disrespect towards you that day." Mei Ruo Ting didn't sit down, but instead walked in front of Summer and bowed deeply to him.

  Her curtsy, and Xia Tian almost saw through the scenery inside her clothes. The black lace bra seemed a bit small, letting him see those two round hemispheres almost entirely in his eyes, and that deep cleavage was quite enticing, making him not want to move his gaze away.

  "Little rascal, don't peek!" Liu Meng immediately discovered Xia Tian's little movement and stretched out her white palm to cover his eyes.

  Mei Ruo Ting's face turned red, she knew she had walked into the light, quickly straightened her body, took a few steps back, and sat down next to Xia Tian, separated by a seat.

  Liu Yunman started to get a headache again, this aunt was really something else. If someone saw it, they just saw it, why did she have to say it out loud? Now look at the situation, isn't it awkward?

  "Miss, can we start serving dishes?" The waiter came in just in time, which was a relief to everyone.

  "That's enough." Mei Ruo Ting hastily said, then asked Xia Tian another question, "Immortal Doctor Xia, would you like to drink?"

  "I won't drink anymore." Liu Yunman hastily said, she didn't want this guy to get drunk and be rude to her aunt at night.

  "Alright, just wait a moment." The waiter quickly left.

  "Mei San Shu, you're treating Xia Tian to dinner today because of Third Uncle's matter, aren't you?" Liu Yun Man proactively brought up the topic.

  "Yes, it's indeed your Third Uncle's matter." Mei Ruoting looked at Liu Yunman with gratitude. By now, she could also see that Liu Yunman was helping her. "Summer God Doctor, I wonder if you can cure my husband's illness?"

  "Of course." Xia Tian replied without hesitation.

  "Xia Shen Yi, the conditions you proposed for treating the illness, we are also aware of them." Mei Ruo Ting hesitated slightly, "But, I wonder if there is still room for negotiation regarding this condition?"

  "No room for negotiation. If your husband is reluctant to give money, I'd be more than happy. Anyway, I didn't want to treat his illness in the first place."

  "Is there really no room for negotiation at all, Xia Shenyi?" A hint of pleading appeared on Mei Ruoting's face.

  "This is what Master has decided, no room for discussion." Xia Tian shook his head.

  Mei Ruo Ting's face suddenly turned a bit pale, she didn't expect that Xia Tian wouldn't give any room for negotiation at all.

  "Mei San Shu, won't Third Uncle agree to those terms?" asked Liu Yun Man.

  Mei Ruo Ting let out a sigh and nodded lightly.

  "What is Third Uncle thinking? Is money that important? Would he rather die than give up his wealth?" Liu Yunman was getting a bit angry.

  "Xiao Man, your third uncle is that kind of person. To him, money has always been the most important thing." Mei Ruoting's tone carried a hint of bitterness.

  Liu Yunman also felt helpless, she could only turn her head to look at Xia Tian: "Xia Tian, your master's rule, can't it be changed?"

  "Little rascal, what's going on?" Liu Meng said with some curiosity.

  "It's a hundred thousand to save a life, and half of the property is collected for a death. For diseases that won't kill you, like neurological disorders or kidney deficiency, a hundred thousand will do. But for ordinary people's terminal illnesses, we have to collect half of their property." Xia Tian explained.

  "If they don't have money, isn't it already very little to charge half?" Liu Meng was somewhat puzzled.

  "Oh, Master said that he doesn't take money from poor people, but Third Master said that Master is not a good person, he rarely treats poor people's illnesses." Xia Tian said casually, and added at the end, "Actually, rules aren't necessarily unchangeable, I've already become a master myself, so I can also set my own rules now."

  Let Jinzhuan's recommendation come more fiercely today at three o'clock in the morning!
