The Crazy Son-In-Law

“Since even Master Wang praises him so much, this person must have some skills. Miss, just let him take a look. What if a blind cat happens to catch a dead rat?” Le Wen, who had been with Tang Shishi for many years and was like a sister to her, blurted out without thinking.

Tang Shishi nearly fainted on the spot. Who was the blind cat? Who was the dead rat?

Le Wen realized her mistake after the words left her mouth, stuck out her tongue, and hid behind Tang Shishi.

Master Wang Ye’s expression changed slightly, and Tang Shishi quickly explained, “Master Wang, please don’t mind. I’ve spoiled this girl too much, and she often speaks thoughtlessly. Since you recommend this person, please let him diagnose me.”

Master Wang Ye then instructed Cao Yuande to go to the backyard and invite Xiao Shun over.

When Xiao Shun appeared before Tang Shishi and Le Wen, both of them were stunned.

“Master Wang, are you sure? This rascal is the good doctor you mentioned?” Le Wen, having learned nothing from her previous mistake, blurted out again.

Upon hearing this, Master Wang Ye was slightly taken aback and asked Xiao Shun, “Do you know each other?”

“We can’t say that we know each other, it’s just a brief encounter.” Xiao Shun smiled and said.

Just a few days ago, Tang Shishi was chased by this guy all over the street and teased by him, so she naturally had a terrible impression of him. At this moment, her pretty face was cold as ice, and she glared at him sarcastically, “I can’t deny that your kung fu is indeed impressive, but when it comes to medicine, I think you should just forget about it.”

“Mr. Wang, please don’t be deceived by this rogue.” Le Wen also chimed in.

“It seems there’s been some misunderstanding.” Wang Ye chuckled.

“This gentleman is a famous doctor in Stillwater. He’s the real deal. If even he can’t diagnose Miss Tang’s illness, then I’m afraid there really is no hope.”

“Mr. Wang, thank you for your concern, but whether he’s as good as you say or not, I’d rather die than let this guy treat me.”

Tang Shishi said coldly, “Le Wen, let’s go.”

She stood up and led Le Wen out. Xiao Shun was puzzled, thinking, what’s wrong with this girl? All I did was ask her to remove her veil so that I could see what she looked like. Was that really such a big deal?

“Miss Tang has a strong spirit, but you need to think it through. Your current condition is just angina, shortness of breath, and stuffiness. In severe cases, it can cause convulsions and fainting. In a few years, your eyes will become red and swollen, and eventually, your skin will ulcerate. By that time, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to save your own life, and it will be too late for you to beg me for treatment,” Xiao Shun stated confidently.

“You rogue, don’t try to scare us with your exaggerations. Do you think we’re easily frightened?” Le Wen glanced coldly at him before continuing.

As they watched the two leave, Wang Ye asked incredulously, “Is what Mr. Xiao just said true?”

“Of course it’s true.”

“You didn’t even take her pulse… What kind of illness does Miss Tang have?”

“It’s not an illness, it’s a slow-acting poison called Thousand Silk Wraps. It’s colorless and tasteless, and once poisoned, it’s almost impossible to detect. However, this poison takes a long time to take effect and may be related to the environment in which the Tang family lives, or their diet,” Xiao Shun explained.

“When Cao Yuande asked me for help earlier, he also told me about her symptoms. I immediately thought of all this, so I could basically diagnose her condition without taking her pulse.”

“The entire Tang family has been poisoned. It seems that someone close to them is responsible. What a complicated situation for such a wealthy family,” Wang Ye sighed.

“Mr. Wang, you are also from a wealthy family.” Xiao Shun laughed.

“It’s not the same,” Wang Ye waved his hand, “Is there a cure for this poison?”

“Of course there is, but it seems that Miss Tang doesn’t need it. We can’t force her, everyone has their own fate,” Xiao Shun said.

Wang Ye naturally didn’t ask Xiao Shun how to cure the poison, as he understood that such knowledge shouldn’t be casually shared. All he could do was sigh regretfully, “Miss Tang is too impulsive.”

Tang Shishi’s face was cold as ice, and she walked out of Bamboo Court with her head held high like a proud swan. Although Xiao Shun had only forced her to remove her veil that night, it was enough to make this young lady feel humiliated.

She had been born with a silver spoon in her mouth and had never experienced such a difficult situation before. That guy was truly detestable, even daring to curse her!

What nonsense about her eyes becoming red and swollen in a few years, and her skin ulcerating. Both her parents and herself had been experiencing the same symptoms for several years, and although they occasionally suffered from the illness, it had never been as severe as that scoundrel claimed.

It was clearly just an attempt to scare her. Even if she died, she wouldn’t let him treat her. Tang Shishi made up her mind.

She was tall and walked quickly due to her anger, so Le Wen, with her short legs, had to jog to keep up.

Le Wen stammered, “Miss, Miss, maybe we should let him take your pulse. We came all the way from the capital, and it would be a shame to leave empty-handed… What if he can really diagnose your illness?”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“He’s so young, just how good can he be? He’s just a brash youth. Even Wang Ye couldn’t help, what can he do? Le Wen, don’t be so naive,” Tang Shishi replied, her tone cold and dismissive.

“Alright then,” Le Wen compromised.

“Shall we go back now?”

“Yeah, let’s go back. We didn’t go home for the New Year, so we must have a good lecturing before us.” Tang Shishi opened the car door, quickly looked around, and spoke.

Having a benevolent heart as a healer does not mean that a doctor should rush to treat everyone.

Moreover, Xiao Shun did not consider himself a doctor at all, so he didn’t care about Tang Shishi’s resistance.

The plain days passed quickly, and the first month soon went by.

Although the school’s preparation was a bit rushed, it managed to open for the new semester. Most of the 20 to 30 students were children of factory workers, and the teachers were temporarily hired. The first semester was barely passable.

Xiao Shun arranged for Duan Jia to live in the manor of the Sikong family. It was, after all, his property now. It was not good to leave it unoccupied for a long time. Occasionally, he would offer guidance on Duan Jia’s body-refining technique, which Duan Jia also found beneficial.

During the New Year period, Starline Health’s sales doubled.

As soon as the holiday was over, the whole company was like getting a shot of adrenaline, going all out. The factory’s production lines were running three shifts, working around the clock to replenish stock, presenting a bustling scene.

Meanwhile…

Yao Zhenshu carefully examined a bottle of Starline Health in his hand.

“Is it true that this product has a monthly sales revenue of nearly 10 million?”

“According to my informant in Starline, it should be true,” Yao Han said with a solemn expression.

“Never thought that Yao Cen could actually make something out of that bankrupt company,” Yao Zhenshu sighed.

Yao Han was resentful. Since taking over Tulip International, he had made a net profit of several hundred thousand per month thanks to Wang Feng’s orders. But now, compared to Starline, it was like nothing at all.
