Chapter 133 - 134: Xiao Zhen’s Strange Illness

Chapter 133: Chapter 134: Xiao Zhen’s Strange Illness

"Since they’re middle-aged men, they’ll have that... need." Li Yang gave a sly grin. "I’ll whip up a few special kidney-tonifying medicinal dishes for you. We can put them on the menu and let them order for themselves. That way, they won’t feel embarrassed. What do you say?"

Zhao Xuechu smiled. "That could work."

"Then it’s settled!" Li Yang grinned again. "Oh, right. I’ll also bring over a bottle of medicinal wine for this place. It’s also for tonifying the kidneys. Compared to the food, it might work faster, but it’s more expensive. I’m currently selling it for ten thousand yuan a serving."

"What!" Xiao Zhen’s eyes went wide. "Why don’t you just rob someone instead?"

"Is it the one from Hidden Dragon Manor?" Zhao Xuechu suddenly understood, looking at him in surprise. "I heard they have a medicinal wine there with miraculous effects."

"You know about it?" Li Yang was taken aback.

"Some customers who ate here were talking about it. They even specifically asked me if we had any kidney-tonifying medicinal food."

Li Yang clapped his hands and laughed heartily. "See? I told you there was a market for it! It’s just that everyone is too thin-skinned to ask for it outright."

"Right, right. You’re the only one shameless enough," Xiao Zhen jabbed at Li Yang.

Zhao Xuechu shot her a look before speaking up. "In that case, you can give us the medicinal wine. But that price..."

"They’re not short on cash!" Li Yang gave a sly grin. "They have plenty of money, just not good health. So if I really have a miracle cure like this, they’ll definitely buy it. Of course, we’ll still sell our medicinal soups. We can’t stop that. Compared to the wine, the food is a lot cheaper. You can sell both and see what they need. As for the medicinal wine, you sell it for me, and I’ll give you a ten percent cut. How about it?"

"You don’t have to give me anything. Just consider it me letting you sell it here," said Zhao Xuechu.

"No way. Same deal as Hidden Dragon Manor. I’m giving you ten percent." Li Yang shook his head, refusing.

He didn’t like being indebted to others.

"Alright then!"

After they finished talking, Li Yang considered himself done with his meal.

"Alright, I’m full. I’ll be heading back now."

"Hey..." Xiao Zhen was a little displeased. "I treated you to a meal, and you’re just going to brush it off like this?"

Li Yang chuckled, looking at her. "Miss Xiao, you should just forget about it in the future. I’m just a scumbag, after all. I appreciate the thought this time, but let’s just go our separate ways from now on, alright?"

"You!" Xiao Zhen was getting angry. She had invited Li Yang out of genuine gratitude, but her prideful nature always made her seem harsh and unreasonable.

"Alright, alright..." Zhao Xuechu quickly tried to smooth things over.

But at that very moment, Xiao Zhen’s face suddenly flushed beet red, and she collapsed to the floor with a THUD.

The sudden event startled both Li Yang and Zhao Xuechu.

"What’s going on?" Li Yang scrambled over and helped her up.

Xiao Zhen’s breathing grew rapid, and she seemed to be sweating.

’This is bad...’ Li Yang felt her pulse. ’There’s something strange about her condition.’

"I’ll call her family’s people!" Zhao Xuechu frantically dialed a number. "She’s always had this illness. I’ll get her doctor over here now."

Li Yang ignored Zhao Xuechu and began to gently examine Xiao Zhen’s body. The more he investigated, the stranger it felt.

’It’s too strange!’

The first time they met, Li Yang had said that there was a "wicked fire" in Xiao Zhen’s body.

In fact, that wasn’t an exaggeration. Right now, Xiao Zhen was like a charcoal stove, burning with an intense fire.

This kind of fire... you could call it a fire of desire!

’But how could this be?’

If it were congenital, Li Yang would be able to feel it. But from the results of his current examination, this wasn’t congenital at all. On the contrary, it seemed to have been cultivated after birth.

’But how could that happen?’

Li Yang was considering his next move when the main door was pushed open. Uncle Chai entered, followed by several large young men.

"Miss Zhao!" Uncle Chai said respectfully.

"Uncle Chai, hurry and check on Zhenzhen! I don’t know why, but it’s happened again," Zhao Xuechu said anxiously.

"Don’t worry, Miss Zhao. I’ll take Miss Xiao back for treatment." With a wave of his hand, Uncle Chai had two of the large men quickly step forward and help Xiao Zhen away.

"I can treat her..." Li Yang said, watching as Xiao Zhen was being carried away.

Uncle Chai glanced back at him, a mocking sneer on his face, and then left.

"I really can treat her..." Li Yang said, growing anxious.

But Uncle Chai paid him no mind and left.

Only after they had gone did Zhao Xuechu give a wry smile and say, "It’s not that I doubt your medical skills. It’s just that Zhenzhen’s body has been like this since she was little. It’s a good thing she grew up in a wealthy family, or she would have been long dead by now."

"She’s been like this since she was a child?" Li Yang asked, a little curious.

"I’m not sure about that, but she’s been this way ever since I’ve known her. The first time she fainted, it scared me to death. But her family has people looking after her, and she has her own dedicated doctors. Don’t worry, she’ll be fine in a couple of days," Zhao Xuechu said.

Li Yang furrowed his brow. ’This whole thing is a little strange.’
