FID – Chapter 439

  Chapter 439: Can Only Heal People, Not Trees

  Qian Wanjin stuffed a chunk of roast goose in his mouth and swallowed it slowly before answering.

  ”Patriarch Liu, your words are too strange. I really don’t understand. Do you mean to say the destruction of the Liu family’s five tea plantations was my doing? If you think so and want to file a case to the authorities, go ahead. As long as you can provide evidence, I, Qian Wanjin, will personally stretch my hands out to be shackled. If you don’t have evidence and are only falsely accusing me, don’t blame me for disrespecting an elder by then, Patriarch Liu!”

  ”Qian Wanjin, you’re too arrogant!” An elder of the Liu family slapped the table and shouted sternly. His anger was such that he felt quite dizzy.

  Qian Wanjin was truly stubborn and refused to listen to advice. He ignored them when they were reasoning nicely, and was unmoved in the face of threats and promises.

  He was a reckless cad. Instead of approaching him, they might as well directly find Qian Baihao, that old fox.

  Although Qian Baihao was cunning, his heart was all on family interests. As long as he was deeply concerned about gains and losses, he could be talked to about anything. Unlike now, they were only exasperated to death, and on the brink of ascending to heaven!

  Liu Huai was about to crush the wine glass in his hand. His eyes swept over Qian Wanjin, Xue Qinglian, and finally stopped on Liu Yusheng’s face.

  If the three people in front of him were an iron triangle, Liu Yusheng must be one of the most critical corners. She could influence changes and pull the two corners.

  For this negotiation, he investigated the relationship between the three men very well.

  Qian Wanjin didn’t listen to anyone, but he would certainly listen to Liu Yusheng. Whatever Liu Yusheng requested, Qian Wanjin had never refused.

  There was also Xue Qinglian. Although he couldn’t figure out why a wandering Jianghu doctor suddenly settled down with Liu Yusheng, Xue Qinglian must have something on Liu Yusheng. Once Liu Yusheng spoke and made any decision, Xue Qinglian wouldn’t object.

  ”Miss Liu, I have heard of your reputation a long time ago, but I’m only meeting you today for the first time. As far as I know, Miss Liu is always calm and rational. You might as well persuade Young Boss Qian to take a step back. As long as the Liu family passes this time, no matter what contradictions will arise in our business in the future, I put my word here. I will never engage in any sneaky tricks behind your back. Everyone will come with swords and guns, fair and aboveboard.”

  Did this old man want to drag Lucky Nannan to the dirty water? Qian Wanjin’s body hair immediately exploded. His calmness was stirred, just as he was about to hit the roof, Liu Yusheng restrained him under the table.

  ”What does Patriarch Liu mean, how can the matter be considered again?” Liu Yusheng asked.

  ”Does Miss Liu really not know why my Liu family’ tea plantations ended up the way they were now? It’s because poisonous water had watered them. I heard that Miss Liu is called the Little Divine Doctor in the market. As long as Miss Liu can help us in this matter and detoxify the tea trees, the Liu family will let bygones be bygones and wipe this incident out. I will also pay your kindness double in the future. What say you?”

  Liu Huai’s eyes were dark and deep as he gazed at Liu Yusheng.

  This was the first time he met Liu Yusheng. He thought a person who was pretty intimidating according to Consort Liu would be sophisticated and smart, but Liu Yusheng broke his cognition. She was quiet and very calm at a young age. Her momentum, however, was steady and not sharp.

  It was hard to imagine that she was the person who could make Qian Wanjin put away his temper and make the King of Nanling bend for her.

  Hence, when he put forward his request, he actually didn’t hold much hope inwardly. He was only making a final effort.

  Liu Yusheng wasn’t a person who could be manipulated.

  Facing Liu Huai’s sizing up, Liu Yu smiled openly and shook her head: “The nickname ‘Little Divine Doctor’ is a false accolade from the people. I can only heal people, not tea trees. As for the tea plantation thing, Patriarch Liu should be looking for experienced tea farmers, rather than finding us. That task is too difficult for us.”

  Xue Qinglian snorted, “Looking for a Divine Doctor Xue to heal tea trees? If this kind of thing were to spread out, I’d definitely be a laughing stock.”

  This snicker caused the three Liu family elders’ faces to sink completely.

  The atmosphere in the private room instantly froze

  ”All three of you have such an attitude, is there really no room for talk?” Liu Huai asked under his breath.

  Qian Wanjin did not put his old face in his eyes in the slightest. As for Liu Huai’s momentum, it was a hundred thousand miles worse than Feng Qingbai. Feng Qingbai couldn’t scare him, so would he be afraid of this old bastard?

  ”It’s not that we have nothing to discuss. It’s because Patriarch Liu is really making it difficult for us. If someone on your side has been poisoned, it’s understandable for you to ask us for help. But to ask two divine doctors to cure tea trees? How could they tell you how to cure them? Even divine doctors can’t diagnose a tea plant’s pulse, ah! Don’t you agree?” 

  Seeing that the spasming of the Lius’ faces were increasingly getting fiercer with a tendency for an outbreak at any time, Qian Wanjin slowly and leisurely put down his chopsticks and burped: “Lucky Nannan, Xue Qinglian, are you full? If you’re full, let’s go home.”

  ”I’m full, we can leave,” Liu Yusheng and Xue Qinglian chorused.

  They were honestly full. On the contrary, the three Liu elders almost didn’t touch the meal from beginning to end, except for the few glasses of wine.

  But no matter. They probably couldn’t swallow food now.

  Before leaving, Qian Wanjin, as the owner, didn’t forget to advertise his restaurant, “Patriarch Liu, thank you for your hospitality. The food in The Qians Restaurant is famous for its deliciousness. Our wine, in particular, is strong and nourishing. You can patronize more when you’re on business talks in the future. I guarantee that both guests and hosts will thoroughly enjoy it!” 

  The three walked out of the room. Before they arrived at the stairs, they heard the sound of angry yelling and wrestling from the room.

  Liu Yusheng admonished Qian Wanjin, “Remember to ask the shopkeeper to calculate the loss when they leave. They can leave only after they pay.”

  ”Don’t worry. Do I still need you to tell me this? When did I ever do business at a loss?” Qian Wanjin raised his chin and laughed, and then sauntered downstairs to invite the shopkeeper, asking him to take an account of the smashed items in the private room and quote high. 

  Even Xue Qinglian, who was listening, felt the corners of his mouth twitch: “The price is too high. Can the Liu family swallow this dumb loss?”

  ”You don’t understand. There’s a plaque on their head, saying they’re the richest family in the world. That old bastard, Liu Huai, wants face. Even if he dies, he can’t let people laugh at him for being a rich man, who can’t even afford to pay for his meals. He can’t afford to lose that eminent prestige, so he has no choice but to suffer this loss dumbly.”

  The three chatted and joked while walking away.

  In the private room, Liu Huai was so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot. Even his expression was hideous.

  For so many years as the head of the family, even Consort Liu and Prime Minister Zuo never talked to his face like this.

  Unexpectedly, he was ridiculed and humiliated at the hands of two young men and a woman, who were still wet behind their ears, today!

  Those three people trampled on the face of the patriarch and severely crushed it to the ground!

  Liu Huai had almost never bowed his head all his life. Since they were insensible, were impervious to the rules in the business industry, and were determined to fight to the death against him, he would let them see who would win in the end!

  ”I didn’t expect those three to be immune to both soft and hard tactics. What should we do next? If saving the tea plantation is hopeless, are we just going to let them be arrogant in front of us?”

  Liu Huai sneered, “I have sent out the word. Since they’re fearless, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
