Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Dad, You’re Old and Disrespectful
"I said before, I’ll write you a prescription. Soak in a medicinal bath for half an hour every day, and I guarantee you’ll go up a cup size within a month. If we add massage and acupuncture to that, going up two cup sizes in a month is absolutely no problem," Jiang Xinghai said seriously.
Feng Lulu, of course, remembered these words.
Between going up one cup size in a month and two, she would naturally choose the latter.
"Alright, I should go."
Feng Lulu finally nodded. "You saved my aunt tonight, and I haven’t had a chance to thank you properly. Once I’ve figured out how to repay you, I promise I won’t disappoint you. That’s all for now."
She skipped away with light, quick steps.
Jiang Xinghai followed her out.
"Lulu, what were you two talking about so secretively?" Lin Liping had been making awkward small talk with Shen Zhengye and his daughter, Shen Lingxue, while waiting for Feng Lulu.
"It was nothing. Let’s head back." Feng Lulu fluttered her charming, big eyes and left with Lin Liping in the new-energy vehicle.
Jiang Xinghai was also preparing to leave. "Uncle, I have something else to do. You two should go get some rest."
"You’re planning to go to the Du Family, aren’t you?" Shen Zhengye seemed to have guessed his intentions.
Shen Lingxue also wore a grave expression. "The Du Family is obviously just trying to win you over. If you go, I’m afraid you won’t be able to resist their ’honey trap’."
"That’s right. The Du Family is willing to offer up their two young mistresses and even forsake their entire family fortune just to win you over. They’re really putting everything on the line. I suspect that tonight, when you fought the Wang Family’s old ancestor, Wang Yuan, the Du Family’s old ancestor, Du Jingsong, was nearby," Shen Zhengye voiced his speculation.
"Also, I have another suspicion."
Shen Lingxue continued articulately, "If the Du Family truly wanted to win you over, their old ancestor, Du Jingsong, should have at least come in person. That’s the bare minimum sign of respect and determination. Instead, they just sent someone with a marriage proposal, clearly wanting to lure you into visiting the Du Family. It’s playing right into their hands."
Jiang Xinghai smiled upon hearing this.
Hearing his daughter’s thorough analysis, Shen Zhengye’s eyes filled with relief and pride.
"Uncle, Lingxue, even without this marriage proposal from the Du Family, I was already considering paying them a visit. There might be an unexpected gain."
Jiang Xinghai certainly understood the Shen father and daughter’s advice. "As it is, I might as well follow the Du Family’s invitation. It’s a chance to make my stance clear and deliver a strong warning. If the Du Family has any malicious intent, I’ll just eliminate them."
"Very well," Shen Zhengye nodded.
"Should I go with you?" Shen Lingxue wasn’t worried about Jiang Xinghai’s safety, but she was still worried he might be seduced by the Du Family’s honey trap.
"It’s too late. You should get some rest."
Jiang Xinghai smiled and walked toward Shen Lingxue’s red BMW. "Uncle, your Dantian was just recently repaired. I suggest you go back to your room and rest immediately. You might have an unexpected gain, you know."
"I’ll keep that in mind," Shen Zhengye nodded.
He really did need to get some good rest. After that, he planned to go to Central State to bring his wife back.
"I’ll wait for you to come back for a late-night snack, then."
Shen Lingxue watched Jiang Xinghai drive away, then walked back toward the house with Shen Zhengye, looking a little dejected.
"Lingxue, you should go back to your room first. That way, Xinghai will have a warm bed to come back to," Shen Zhengye said with a low chuckle.
"Dad, you... you’re so embarrassing!"
Shen Lingxue’s pretty face turned pink as she puffed up her cheeks and ran up to the second floor.
"Hahaha..."
Shen Zhengye laughed heartily. "Dad’s been around the block. You should enjoy life while you’re young. There’s nothing shameful about it."
"Dad, I’m your daughter! How could you push me into a pit of fire? Dad, you’re so shameless for your age!"
Shen Lingxue’s resentful voice drifted down from the second floor.
’That girl...’
Shen Zhengye shook his head with a smile and returned to his room.
"This girl’s all grown up. She’s a lot like her mother was when she was young." freewebnσvel.cøm
Suddenly, a sinister voice sounded from within Shen Zhengye’s bedroom.
"You haven’t left yet?!"
Shen Zhengye flipped on the light to find a middle-aged man who looked very similar to him leaning against the wall, staring at him.
It was his own brother, Shen Zhengli!
He suddenly recalled Jiang Xinghai’s reminder before he left—to return to his room immediately, as there might be an ’unexpected gain’.
’It seems Jiang Xinghai had already sensed someone was in my room.’
Shen Zhengli’s face was full of suspicion as he continuously sized up Shen Zhengye. "Big Brother, you still haven’t told me who used such a heaven-defying technique to repair your Dantian. How could I possibly leave?"
"Fine."
Shen Zhengye decided to be blunt. "That day, although I didn’t get to meet the National Medical Saint Hand, Master Xue Zhong, I did meet a medical prodigy. I have indeed recovered now, and I’m full of life. You must be disappointed, right?"
"It was Jiang Xinghai, wasn’t it?"
Shen Zhengli’s expression became graver than ever before.
"That’s right."
Shen Zhengye pointed toward the door and said coldly, "As your brother, I already gave you half of the family’s assets back then. Don’t disturb my life anymore. Get out!"
"Big Brother, don’t you want to know more of Jiang Xinghai’s secrets?"
Shen Zhengli suddenly gave a sly grin. "Of course, if you don’t want to know, I’ll just leave."
