Chapter 550: Wishes
Translator: Lonelytree
Master Xu turned around and walked out. He stopped in front of me. “Young lady, take good care of your body. As long as I’m alive, I won’t let you die before me!”
He said to Mr. Li, “If you need anything, just look for me.”
Then, he strode out of the door.
Gao Da hurriedly followed him.
I looked at Jing Tian with a baffled expression. I didn’t understand what Master Xu meant.
Lin Ran, on the other hand, was pleasantly surprised. He patted me and told Jing Tian, “Well, that went better than expected.”
“What do you mean?” I asked them.
Lin Ran said, “With Master Xu’s medical skill, you’ll definitely be cured if he’s willing to look after you.”
I still didn’t understand.
Mr. Li walked over and pushed me onto the chair. He muttered, “That weird old man was also kidnapped by this kid. He’s full of anger. He only treated you because you were in fatal danger. This kid knows that he’s in the wrong, so he bribed the old man. From what I saw, it worked. The kid must have fulfilled one of the old man’s important wishes. Didn’t you hear him? As long as he’s alive, he’ll keep you alive. That is his way of saying thank you.”
He checked my pulse with his hand.
I quickly asked Jing Tian, “What did you promise? A bribe?”
Jing Tian smiled.
Lin Ran smiled. “Master Xu is a sentimental person. He has always wanted to develop his own research institute of Chinese Medicine at the university where he works. However, he’s a straightforward person. He’s not good at administrative affairs, and he doesn’t have the funds either. So, this has been halted for more than a decade already. Jing Tian settled this by talking to the higher-ups and providing them with the necessary funding. Thankfully, it has moved the old master. So he’s returning the favor by helping you with your health.”
I found this very novel.
Mr. Li snorted coldly. “Don’t be moved. This kid is good at buying people’s hearts.”
Jing Tian smiled. “Is there anything that you’re not satisfied with, Mr. Li?”
Mr. Li rolled his eyes at him but didn’t say anything.
Jing Tian said nicely, “The method I used was indeed a bit radical. But there won’t be any things missing in the promise I gave you, Sir. If you have any other wishes, please feel free to mention them.”
Mr. Li sighed. “What other wishes could I have?” He said to me while checking my pulse, “Girl, I said you are destined to face difficult challenges in your life. But to counteract that, you have found this kid. This kid is really willing to do anything for you. In fact, he was injured because he wanted to save you. So, don’t give up on yourself, even if it’s for him. That old man promised you that you’d be fine as long as he’s alive. I also promise you that as long as I’m alive, you won’t suffer from the poison!” He glanced at Jing Tian. “If someone can fulfill my wish, I’ll stay by your side and protect you for the rest of my life!”
Jing Tian said immediately, “Mr. Li, you can tell me whatever wish you have. I am willing to do anything!”
Mr. Li finally beamed with joy. “Alright! Then it’s settled then. I will definitely not make unreasonable requests. They will be within your ability and financial resources, Master Qi!”
“That kid” became “Master Qi”.
I looked at them in astonishment.
Lin Ran smiled. “This is great. We can finally breathe a sigh of relief. With the help of the two masters, we can finally be at ease.”
Mr. Li glared at him. “We’re only helping the girl! You should look after this kid! We’re not looking after him!”
Lin Ran patted his chest. “No problem!”
