Chapter 17 - An Innocent Victim (1/2)

“You’re such a liar.” Nalan Wushuang said with anger.

“Why did you say that? I am such an honest guy, and I can guarantee you that all I said was true.”

Qin Haodong said with grievance.

“Then how old are you?”

“21!”

“How old is the kid you mentioned?”

“Four!”

“So you’ve been in relations.h.i.+p for five years.”

“No, we met each other only 2 days ago.”

“You’re just talking nonsense, you as****.”

Nalan Wushuang would’ve kicked the slick guy out of the car if she weren’t driving. How could the guy be so serious while making up all those stories?

“I am not talking nonsense, I am telling you the truth!”

Qin Haodong said innocently.

“You…”

In anger, Nalan Wushuang closed her mouth because she knew she would totally lose it if she didn’t stop talking to him.

The Audi A6 darted out of the city and finally pulled over at the gate a big yard. The yard, with large-brick walls and houses with fancy tiles, was the special sanatorium set by in Jiangnan Military Force. It was said that all the residents here are military leaders above divisional commander level.

Nanlan Wushuang parked the car and lead Qin Haodong into the yard.

Qin Haodong checked out the sanatorium while he was walking. It was a nice place with much more Spiritual Qi around than the urban area, making it the best place for recuperation.

Few steps later, a young man in his twenties ran into them at a sudden. The man had a large silk box in his hand, and judging by the fancy clothes wrapping him all over, he must be rich.

“Shuangshuang, why didn’t you answer my calls?”

The young man ran to Nalan and smiled flatteringly.

“Zhang Dazhi, I told you not to hara.s.s me if you have nothing important!”

Nalan Wushuang said with resentment.

“Yes, I do have something important!” Said Zhang Dazhi who was apparently afraid of Nalan Wushuang. He raised the silk box in his hands and said, “I heard that you’re looking for Thousand-year Ginseng for your grandpa. I happen to have a friend who runs herb business. I asked him for help, and this is the best Korean Ginseng he found for me. I heard it was a hundred-year one, so I bring it here to give it to your grandpa as a gift.”

After he said that, he opened the box with a flattered smile. There was a snow-white Korean Ginseng lying inside.

At first, Qin Haodong didn’t care about Zhang Dazhi at all, because he found him no more than another admirer of Nanan Wushuang, and it seemed that she hardly had any interest in him. But by the time when he saw the Korean Ginseng, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes. “What a nice Ginseng it is!”

The Korean Ginseng and his Blood Ginseng would make up the two main ingredients of his Foundation Core. “This good stuff has to be mine.”

Qin Haodong had every reason to be desired, because the 600 or 700 hundred-year-old Korean Ginseng was giving out very thick Spiritual Qi.

It was a nice gift, only to be sent here at the wrong time. He sighed for Zhang Dazhi in his mind because he knew it must have taken him a lot of efforts to find such an old-aged Korean Ginseng. Nalan Wushuang would’ve treated him in a totally different way if he was here two days earlier, but now, she wouldn’t even bother to look.

Nalan Wushuang barely took a look at the Korean Ginseng in the box. She stared at Zhang Dazhi, and said, “I don’t need it, just take it away.”

“Well…” Zhang Dazhi was confused. He took it as the best chance to flatter Nalan Wushuang when he heard that she was looking for a Thousand-year Ginseng. He had used all his social connections to find the ginseng, and it cost him more than 10 million yuan to take it out of Korea. He did all this to win the beauty’s laugh.

Nanlan Wushuang didn’t smile at all, instead, she was becoming colder and colder to him.

“Shuangshuang, don’t be so impulsive. This Korean Ginseng will help cure your grandpa…”

“I said I don’t need it…”

Nalan Wushuang interrupted Zhang Dazhi before he could finish. She knew the better the ginseng was, the more harm it would do to his grandpa. So now she didn’t bear any good feeling toward Zhang Dazhi at all.

She also knew that if she didn’t make it clear to Zhang Dazhi, he would keep hara.s.sing him. She then pulled Qin Haodong and said, “My family has already invited Doctor Qin for grandpa. You can keep your hands away from this.”

Zhang Dazhi took a look at Qin Haodong, and said to the angry Nalan Wushuang, “He must be one of the gigolos of yours, how could he be a doctor?”

“Watch your mouth, Zhang Dazhi,” said Nalan Wushuang, a quick-tempered one who had already lost her patience. She asked with a cold face, “How does it have anything to do with you even if he was a gigolo of mine?”

Qin Haodong felt awkward. He was such an innocent victim, because he was here just to cure. Now for no reason, he had become the idiot’s rival in love, and had been demeaned to be a “gigolo”. “You can get hurt by just walking in the streets!”

“Shuangshuang, how can you not know my feelings for you after such a long time? We’ll make a perfect couple. What’s good in this gigolo? He was too pale and tender to look like a real man. I think he may be gay…”

“Enough!” Before he could finish it, Nalan yelled in anger, “Zhang Dazhi, shut your hole!”

“You…”

Zhang Dazhi was so angry that his eyes were glaring, but he was too afraid to flare up in front of Nalan Wushuang.

The reason he pursued Nalan Wushuang was partly her beauty and partly her powerful family, but all in all, he feared Miss Nalan because she was so quick-tempered.

He couldn’t afford to irritate Nalan Wushuang, but at least he could irritate Qin Haodong.

“Stay away from Shuangshuang, you gigolo boy! Or you wouldn’t have known how you died.”
