Chapter 61: Chapter 62: A Dramatic Scene
"Not really," Li Yang finally said, shaking his head.
"By the way, I wanted to ask..." Boss Zhong began. "Can you create a medicinal recipe like that?"
Li Yang gave a mysterious smile. ’I *could* write one, but as for him... I’m still deciding whether I should.’
Just then, Li Yang’s phone rang.
It was Qin Susu, of all people.
"Miss Qin..." Li Yang answered the call. "Does your doggy miss me?"
"Get lost!" Qin Susu retorted irritably. "Stop thinking about my Dahuang... Anyway, um... I told my dad I wanted to get you a five-hundred-thousand-yuan consultation fee as a thank you, but he didn’t agree."
Li Yang was dumbfounded.
’That’s so much!’
"Uh, forget about the money!" But Li Yang genuinely hadn’t planned on making money from his medical skills.
The medical classic had come to him under mysterious circumstances, and Li Yang didn’t see it as a tool for profit.
"No way!" Qin Susu was indignant. "Why shouldn’t he pay? The money has to be given, but how to give it is definitely something we can discuss. I heard from my cousin that you’re trying to develop your village, right? You’re short on cash right now."
Li Yang hadn’t expected Qin Susu to put so much thought into his situation.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well... I do have that idea, but let’s just forget it. Besides, your dad isn’t willing to pay, right?"
"Don’t worry about that. I’ll figure something else out."
"We’ll see."
With that, they both hung up.
He had barely hung up when an unknown number called.
"This is Li Yang, right?" It was Qin Gang’s voice on the other end.
"Mr. Qin?" Li Yang was taken aback for a second.
"Where are you? Let’s meet," Qin Gang said flatly.
"Uh... okay. I’m at the Shihao Medicinal Cuisine restaurant!"
"Alright, I’m on my way. Wait for me there."
The call ended just as quickly.
"Mr. Li?" Seeing Li Yang take two calls in a row, Boss Zhong, who was at a bit of a loss, finally had a chance to interject. "Could you create that medicinal recipe for syphilis for me?"
"Have him take yours for now!" Li Yang replied instantly. "And listen, don’t mention my involvement in this. Got it?"
"Yes, yes, of course! I understand!" Boss Zhong nodded.
Before long, Qin Gang arrived with Wu Juan.
Without Qin Susu present, the disgust on Wu Juan’s face was impossible to hide.
They went into a private room.
SLAP... Qin Gang tossed a stack of cash from his bag, and it slid casually across the table in front of Li Yang.
"Here’s fifty thousand yuan," Qin Gang said flatly. "Stay away from my daughter from now on."
Li Yang froze. ’Is this one of those drama clichés from the internet? The whole "Here’s a million, now leave my daughter" scenario?’
"Take it," Wu Juan sneered, her eyes filled with unconcealed disdain. "This is probably more money than you’ll ever earn in your entire life."
Understanding dawned on Li Yang. He looked at the fifty thousand yuan and suddenly burst out laughing.
"You should know your place!" Qin Gang said coldly. "A country boy like you is destined to be stuck in some mountain village for the rest of your life. You’re not good enough for my daughter. Stay away from her!"
"Aren’t you mistaken?" Li Yang looked up at Qin Gang. "I’m not interested in your daughter. She’s the one who keeps bothering me. Of course, I’m not explaining all this because I’m afraid of you. I just want to make things clear, lest certain people get the wrong idea."
"What a joke. You’re just a lowly farmer. You think Susu would actually pursue you?" Wu Juan said scornfully.
"I’m stepping out. You talk to him." Qin Gang seemed unwilling to say any more to Li Yang, immediately standing up and leaving.
The door closed. Wu Juan crossed her arms, looking down her nose at Li Yang. "Listen, kid, I know what you’re up to. You’d better take this fifty thousand and stay far away from Qin Susu. Did you really think I don’t know what you’re scheming? You want to use Susu to marry into the Qin Family, don’t you? In your dreams!"
Li Yang laughed, looking at this unreasonable woman. "You know, it’s better not to be so malicious. I saved your mother-in-law, and not only are you not grateful, you actually think of me like this. What, did you want your mother-in-law to die?"
"You!" Exposed, Wu Juan slammed her hand on the table and snarled, "I suggest you smarten up. In our family, I’m the one who calls the shots."
Li Yang stared at her coldly. "Fine. Just don’t regret this."
Wu Juan let out a disdainful sneer. "Regret? Who do you think you are? You think you can make me regret anything?"
Li Yang gave a dry laugh, then immediately stood up, opened the door, and walked out.
Outside, Qin Gang was in the hallway.
Seeing Li Yang come out, he frowned. "Don’t bother our Susu anymore. You’re not worthy..."
Li Yang waved him over. "Mr. Qin, come, come. Let’s talk over here."
As he spoke, Li Yang beckoned to him.
Qin Gang was getting impatient, assuming Li Yang had something to say. "If you’ve got something to say, spit it out..."
The door creaked open, and to his surprise, someone walked out.
It was none other than Mr. Tang.
Mr. Tang and Qin Gang came face to face, staring at each other.
For a split second, Mr. Tang looked dazed and terrified. He took two steps back and was about to shut the door.
"Hold it!" But just then, Qin Gang realized the man looked incredibly familiar and immediately blocked the door. "Who are you?"
He panicked!
"You’ve got the wrong person..." Mr. Tang said hurriedly from inside the room. "We don’t know each other!"
