The village beauty and me!

Chen Huan directly asked the question that had been bothering him, "Old Jin, what did you do before?"

"Your friend seems to come from a wealthy and powerful family, so why did he travel all the way from Dongjiang City, despite his illness, to see you?"

"Why are you being so polite to me? Are you two very close?"

Kim Dae-sung smiled awkwardly, rubbing his hands together, and said, "Brother, you don't know this."

"I, Jin, was once a man of great renown, but my family fell into decline, and I eventually saw through the vanity of the world, distanced myself from worldly troubles, and came to this small town to open a shop and live a carefree life."

"Things are actually pretty good now."

Chen Huan looked him up and down again.

When they first met, Chen Huan was so focused on selling the ginseng to improve his life that he didn't pay much attention to the impression Jin Dacheng left on him.

Looking closely now, although this guy seems a bit goofy on the surface, his appearance and the way he inadvertently reveals his extraordinary past are enough to show that he has an extraordinary past.

Perhaps, as he just said, he was once very successful.

"Brother, sit down, let's chat over tea." Jin Dacheng pulled Chen Huan down to sit and poured him a cup of tea.

Chen Huan felt embarrassed to refuse.

Thinking that since I was already too late for dinner, a little longer wouldn't make a difference.

"Why didn't you ask for more money for the consultation earlier?"

"My friend wasn't bragging. He can take out a few million like it's nothing," Kim Dae-sung asked with a smile, holding his teacup.

Chen Huan sighed, "You still have the nerve to ask me? You didn't say they had such strong financial backing before we came."

"Besides, we already agreed on 10,000 yuan at the beginning. Changing the price at the last minute is just slapping Lao Jin in the face."

Kim Dae-sung was stunned. "Between my reputation and millions, you actually chose the former?"

"Brother, I, Lao Jin, truly have a keen eye for talent. You are indeed extraordinary."

After saying that, this guy actually got up and sat down next to Chen Huan, put his arm around his shoulder, and almost burst into tears.

Chen Huan felt a chill run down his spine and quickly moved aside, saying, "Stop fooling around."

"If someone were to push the door open and see us hugging and cuddling, they would definitely think we're perverts."

"I'm not into that kind of thing. By the way, are you normal?"

Kim Dae-sung clicked his tongue. "Of course I'm normal. Apart from being a little chubby, I'm perfectly normal in every way."

"Besides, how could anyone possibly come at this hour?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the shop door creaked open.

"Oh, someone's actually here?" Kim Dae-sung peeked into the doorway.

"What's wrong, Boss Jin? Aren't you welcoming me?" As he spoke, a tall, upright old man walked in.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Joe?"

"What brings you here today? Are you looking for someone?" Kim Dae-sung said cheerfully as he stood up.

The person who arrived was Qiao Zhenshan from the sauerkraut fish restaurant across the street.

After exchanging a few polite words with Jin Dacheng, he explained his purpose: "You guessed right, I'm here to see Chen Huan."

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I happen to have a table available, let's eat together."

Kim Dae-sung rubbed his stomach. "You know what, I'm actually a little hungry right now."

"Grandpa, you must have something important to discuss with Chen Huan. Would it be appropriate for me to go?"

"What's the difference between suitable and unsuitable? Our two shops are only a few dozen meters apart, so we're practically neighbors."

"Besides, you and Chen Huan are such good friends, aren't you also my friend?" the old man earnestly invited.

Chen Huan didn't refuse, "Then I'll have to bother you."

The three people walked outside.

Kim Dae-sung casually closed the door without locking it.

"You have all these antiques in your room, from the Eastern Zhou to the Western Zhou dynasties, and you don't even lock the door. Aren't you afraid someone will steal them?" Chen Huan asked.

Kim Dae-sung calmly responded, "Most of them were from last week. They can just sneak off if they want."

Upon entering the sauerkraut fish restaurant, Chen Huan discovered that his former sister-in-law, Xia Xiaozhu, was learning accounting from Qiao Lingling behind the counter.

This made him sincerely grateful to the Qiao family.

Xia Xiaozhu originally intended to work part-time here to earn her tuition fees on her own.

They said it was just about serving dishes and washing bowls, working as a waiter.

As a result, they didn't make her do the hard work and just let her stay at the counter.

This is enough to show that Qiao Lingling and her father are genuinely good to Xia Xiaozhu, and also gives Chen Huan a lot of face.

"They really are people from big cities; they're quite particular about how they handle things."

"However, compared to that, the young lady from Dongjiang City is a bit lacking in class..." Chen Huan couldn't help but make a comparison in his mind.

At this moment, Zhao Yaru, who was sitting in a luxury van returning to Dongjiang City, sneezed several times in a row.

He frowned and said, "Which bastard is talking about me behind my back?"

Sitting across from him, Zhao Guohua gently advised, "Ya Ru, I know you have a lot of opinions about that Chen Huan."

"But life is more important. Now that I've received his treatment, I can have a lifespan close to that of a normal person. But if something happens to you during this time, how am I supposed to live?"

"If you don't care about your father, you should at least think about your mother."

"If you don't accept Chen Huan's treatment, I won't be able to tell her the good news that my health has improved."

"After she finds out the news, should she be happy or worried?"

Faced with her father's earnest advice, Zhao Yaru hesitated, lowered her head slightly, and said with a blush, "Dad, I admit that he does have some ability, but this guy is too annoying and very sleazy."

"I've never heard of anything like dual cultivation to cure illnesses. It's disgusting!"

"Besides, our conflict has already escalated to this point, so there's no way I'll let him succeed."

"If word gets out, what will become of your reputation? Will I even be able to live?"

Zhao Guohua clicked his tongue. "Is saving face more important than life itself?"

"If you're really embarrassed, then you might as well let Chen Huan marry you."

"It's the best of both worlds. You get to save face and you get to stay healthy. What a great thing!"

At this point, Zhao Guohua couldn't hide the excited and smug smile on his face.

Zhao Yaru noticed, frowned, and complained, "Are you even my real father?"

"You seem determined to bring Chen Huan into our family. Are you really concerned about me?"

Zhao Guohua chuckled twice. "These two things don't conflict."

"Don't underestimate Chen Huan."

"You know who your Uncle Jin is, right? Anyone who can be called a brother by him is no ordinary person."

"This trip to the countryside was very worthwhile. Think carefully about what I just told you."

Zhao Yaru opened her mouth, but ultimately swallowed her words.

The image of Chen Huan performing acupuncture involuntarily surfaced in my mind, revealing the confidence and nonchalance that unconsciously appeared in his expression.

Gradually, I found that guy wasn't so annoying anymore.

Just thinking about his serious face when he told her that she needed to cultivate both Yin and Yang to cure her illness made Zhao Yaru clench her fists again. "Hmph, I won't let him take advantage of me!"
