Mentioning Li Bingxue, Chen Xiao's expression instantly turned grim. He stared at Liu Zihao and said word by word:
"I'm afraid you don't dare to risk your life with me!"
"I... I I I..."
Meeting Chen Xiao's gaze, Liu Zihao inexplicably felt the wound in his abdomen, as if stabbed by a scalpel, suddenly throb with unbearable pain. His legs uncontrollably retreated, and he stammered in panic:
"At... at worst, I'll give Li Bingxue back to you. Anyway... anyway, the child in her belly has already been aborted. But... but you must save my dad first..."
Chen Xiao almost vomited from disgust. He waved his hand and slapped the defenseless Liu Zihao, sending him spinning:
"Just a rotten egg that flirts with flies everywhere, do you think I, Chen Xiao, still care about her?"
"Ah!"
Gou Shunfang screamed in fright and quickly, clumsily, shielded Liu Zihao tightly behind her.
Although she vaguely guessed that Liu Zihao and Chen Xiao had some past grievances, she never imagined that Liu Zihao had stolen Chen Xiao's woman.
Thinking of her husband, who was waiting for Chen Xiao's acupuncture to save his life in the emergency room, she, who was usually very protective, hesitated for only a moment before turning to slap Liu Zihao again. Then, anxiously and insincerely, she said to Chen Xiao:
"Dr. Chen, Auntie really didn't expect Zihao to do such a thing, worse than an animal and an offense to heaven and earth. But since it has already happened, even if I beat him to death, it cannot make up for the harm you've suffered. So... so I want to try my best to compensate you. Is twenty thousand... twenty thousand yuan enough?"
Fearing that Chen Xiao would refuse, she paused and then eagerly added:
"Oh, and if you don't mind, Auntie will introduce you to a young, beautiful, and like-minded girlfriend another day."
As she spoke, she handed Chen Xiao a photo from her phone.
Casually seeing that the beauty in the photo was Ye Qingxin, the campus belle from Chen Xiao's university, Chen Xiao was taken aback:
"You know her?"
Gou Shunfang's eyes darted around, and she plastered a fawning smile on her face:
"Dr. Chen, you jest. She's my distant niece, how could I not know her? By the way, she also studied medicine and is currently teaching at the Provincial Medical University. She has looks and talent, a perfect match for you, Dr. Chen, like a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven!"
Liu Zihao immediately became anxious and whispered mysteriously into Gou Shunfang's ear:
"Mom, are you crazy? According to Dad's secret investigation, Ye Qingxin is Ye Jinhuan's illegitimate daughter. If you introduce her to Chen Xiao, won't Ye Jinhuan destroy our whole family?"
Ye Jinhuan was Ye Yinhuan's eldest sister, a formidable figure of great importance in the Overlord Group and the entire Ye family. Even Ye Qingtian dared not act presumptuously in front of her.
Gou Shunfang lowered her voice and explained:
"Silly son, don't you want to avenge your father? Haven't you always been infatuated with Ye Qingxin? If we can lure Ye Qingxin into your bed with a little trick, and then frame Chen Xiao, with Ye Jinhuan's temper, wouldn't she tear Chen Xiao alive? This is a brilliant plan that kills two birds with one stone!"
Liu Zihao was stunned at first, then his face lit up with excitement and secret delight:
"No! It should be three birds with one stone! Once Ye Jinhuan mistakenly believes Chen Xiao defiled Ye Qingxin, I can marry Ye Qingxin without any effort, become the son-in-law of the Ye family, and reach the pinnacle of my life!"
Thinking this, Liu Zihao eagerly said to Chen Xiao:
"Yes, yes, yes! My distant cousin is exceptionally beautiful and charming, much more beautiful than Li Bingxue! Chen Xiao, if you agree, I'll personally act as a matchmaker, and we'll be family sooner or later..."
He chuckled, and Chen Xiao interrupted Liu Zihao with a look of disdain:
"For a mere twenty thousand yuan, you want me to treat a deserving old dog, and you even dream of becoming related to me? Your grand plan is a bit too ambitious!"
"You..."
Gou Shunfang was so angry she almost choked. The forced smile on her face gradually turned into anger, and she gritted her teeth:
"Chen, let's not beat around the bush. Just name your price. How much money do you need to save my husband? I don't believe there's anything money can't solve in this world!"
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and shook his head with contempt:
"Before, Ye Yinhuan and Ye Qingtian also tried to solve the problem with money, but they both failed in the end. Your family's deserving old dog is just an ant under the feet of the Ye family. Stop trying to embarrass yourselves with money."
"You..."
Gou Shunfang was choked again, her tone becoming more arrogant:
"Stop the nonsense and just name a number. I'll give it to you even if I have to sell everything I own!"
Seeing Gou Shunfang's firm attitude, Liu Zihao couldn't help but boast:
"My family lacks nothing but money. The house we bought in the villa area near Zhegu Tian a few years ago is worth at least thirty million!"
"Thirty million?"
Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, and he said reluctantly:
"As the saying goes, 'listen to advice and eat well.' Then please hurry up and complete all the transfer procedures. As long as you can deliver the property deed to my hands before that old dog Liu Jinya breathes his last, I'll reluctantly save his life!"
