Chapter 212: Chapter 212: This Bastard Is Pretty Vindictive
Of course, Luo Yuqing hadn’t told the truth.
The reason she hadn’t told Wang Chenning that Luo Yaqian was bringing him here today was simply to give him a little scare, planning to surprise him later.
This villa was where she usually lived; it was, for all intents and purposes, her home.
But the place where she usually had her trysts with Wang Chenning was just somewhere she occasionally stopped to rest.
This villa, however, was lavishly furnished and in a wonderful location, with a garden outside that was nearly a thousand square meters.
She wanted to see the look of delighted surprise on Wang Chenning’s face when he arrived at her villa with Luo Yaqian. Then, she would seize the opportunity to act cute, telling him this villa would be their future love nest, all in the hopes of earning his praise.
In the future, she would give Wang Chenning one surprise after another to win his further approval.
She would rise above all other women and become a true empress dowager.
Today, she also planned to use Luo Yaqian.
Luo Yuqing knew that Luo Yaqian would definitely talk to Wang Chenning about Zhao Xiao’an. She would tell him that he wasn’t a good match for Zhao Xiao’an.
If Luo Yaqian really did that, Wang Chenning’s opinion of her wouldn’t be very high.
When Wang Chenning was in a sour mood, she would step in, say a few bad things about Luo Yaqian, and promise him that she would make sure he got Zhao Xiao’an—and even get Luo Yaqian to turn a blind eye. In that case, Wang Chenning would surely be moved to tears with gratitude.
If she could make Luo Yaqian see how much Wang Chenning listened to and respected her, the Zhao family might actually believe she could control him. They might then entrust some resources to her, or grant her other benefits.
But Luo Yuqing never expected that before she could even launch her plan to kill two birds with one stone, Wang Chenning had already ruined it.
Therefore, she had no choice but to sell out her own sister, lest Wang Chenning’s anger be directed at her.
"How are you all planning to deal with me?" Wang Chenning asked Luo Yuqing, his expression calm. "Are you going to make me a pawn for the Zhao family or your Luo family?"
"Yes!" Luo Yuqing finally admitted. "Whether it’s me or the Zhao family, we all feel you have limitless potential and absolutely cannot be recruited by another family. My sister suspects you and I have an indecent relationship, so I have to prove my innocence and make them think that everything I’m doing is for the greater good. Having my sister bring you here today was a ploy to play good cop, bad cop and intimidate you. And there’s one more thing I’ll tell you: my sister hopes you’ll be like an older brother to Xiao’an. If you agree, the Zhao family will treat you as one of their own and give you resources. Of course, they’ll expect something in return."
Wang Chenning chuckled. "This must be what you were all discussing a few days ago, right?"
Luo Yuqing froze for a second before it dawned on her. She wanted to slap herself hard across the face.
’When a woman falls for someone, she really loses all composure. Her IQ and EQ just plummet.’
She had said something she shouldn’t have. Not only did she fail to earn any points with Wang Chenning, but he had completely turned the tables on her.
By bringing up something discussed days ago that she hadn’t told him about, she’d naturally made him suspicious. He would definitely think she was playing mind games with him.
"If you’re going to blame me, just say it. Punish me whenever you want. I don’t want to talk anymore!" she said, turning her face away in a huff.
’Trying to be clever backfired and made things so awkward. It’s humiliating. All I can do now is play dumb.’
Wang Chenning hadn’t expected Luo Yuqing to spill everything. He knew the Zhao family would try to scheme against him, but he never imagined they’d use this approach.
He had just been throwing a bit of a fit, not expecting her to reveal so much.
’Looks like this woman really does care about me. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bent to my will like this and told me everything.’
’In the future, I can keep using these intimidation tactics to stop her from trying to be clever.’
So, Wang Chenning ignored her and began preparing his treatment tools. Seeing him give her the cold shoulder, Luo Yuqing grew even more sullen.
A short while later, Luo Yaqian came out of the bathroom after her shower.
She asked Wang Chenning to come to the guest room to examine and treat her.
Wang Chenning got up and told Luo Yuqing to come help him.
Luo Yuqing stood up with a harrumph, grabbed the medical case for Wang Chenning, and walked into the guest room.
Luo Yaqian had changed into a nightgown, but it was a conservative one. She didn’t want to look bad in front of Wang Chenning.
After checking her pulse and the circulation of her qi and blood, Wang Chenning listed the acupoints that needed needling and instructed Luo Yuqing to help Luo Yaqian get ready.
The acupoints he would be needling were primarily on her waist, abdomen, head, and back, as well as the Shanzhong point on her chest.
Luo Yuqing did as Wang Chenning instructed and got Luo Yaqian ready.
Although Luo Yaqian had taken good care of herself, she was middle-aged, after all, and the physical signs of aging were unavoidable.
Her skin was slack, a small paunch had appeared, and her complexion wasn’t as vibrant as it used to be.
Wang Chenning’s treatment lasted for about an hour.
By the end, Luo Yaqian was drenched in sweat, her nightgown completely soaked.
"Sis, how do you feel?" Luo Yuqing asked quickly.
"It’s wonderful, actually. I feel like all the toxins have been purged from my body. I feel completely clear." Luo Yaqian smiled and praised Wang Chenning. "Xiaowang, your skills are truly impressive. Today was a real eye-opener for me!"
"If you continue with this conditioning, your complexion will get better and better, and your figure will gradually return to form. Truthfully, with this skill alone, I could earn more money than I could ever spend. But I only perform this kind of treatment for people I know. Strangers could offer me a million, or even ten million, and I wouldn’t be interested," Wang Chenning said as he packed his things. "Of course, I don’t accept payment from anyone. I just want you two aunts to understand the value of my help!"
Hearing Wang Chenning call them "aunts" made Luo Yuqing’s expression darken, and his words left Luo Yaqian feeling a bit awkward.
Wang Chenning ignored their reactions and continued, "I dare say, in all of Huaxia, you won’t find another doctor with my abilities. Just look at Aunt Luo Yuqing. Compared to a month ago, she’s like a completely different person! So, no matter who I’m helping, I expect them to remember my kindness and not plot against me!"
Luo Yaqian’s expression changed again. She shot Luo Yuqing a questioning look, suspecting that while she was in the shower, Luo Yuqing must have said something to Wang Chenning she shouldn’t have.
Luo Yuqing, however, quickly understood. Wang Chenning was deliberately trying to drive a wedge between the sisters and make them suspicious of each other.
’This bastard, he’s so vengeful!’ she thought, gritting her teeth in frustration. If Luo Yaqian weren’t there, she would have rushed over and given Wang Chenning a sound beating.
After airing his grievances, Wang Chenning turned to Luo Yaqian and said, "Aunt Luo, a moment ago Luo Yuqing said it was my ’good fortune’ to be treating you, and that I should be grateful. I didn’t like hearing that, so I complained a bit. Please don’t take it to heart."
Luo Yuqing: "..."
She wanted to rush over and stab him.
’How dare he paint me as that kind of person!’
’I could just die from anger!’
But in the end, she just gave an embarrassed smile and said coyly, "I was just joking. Why did you take it so seriously? You’re so petty!"
Luo Yaqian glanced at Luo Yuqing, then at Wang Chenning, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.
The moment Luo Yaqian went to take another shower, Luo Yuqing finally couldn’t take it anymore. She charged at Wang Chenning, claws out, ready for a fight.
"You bastard! How dare you call me ’Aunt’? Do I look that old to you? Hmph! Are you happy now that you’ve made my sister and me suspicious of each other?"
But Wang Chenning neutralized her attack with two quick pinches.
"Dare to play a little rougher?" Pinned by Wang Chenning but refusing to admit defeat, Luo Yuqing gestured toward the bathroom with a defiant look. "Right under your future mother-in-law’s nose... do you dare take me?"
