What Zhao Chuchu said was intended as a joke, but it seemed she had been onto something by accident.

“Well, no wonder people say women don’t always mean what they say.”

However, Zhao Chuchu did not try to embarrass Yuan Hui.

After all, girls all had their own little secrets.

Old Mrs. Yuan still had something private to say to Yuan Hui, so Zhao Chuchu left first.

She didn’t sleep last night, so she went back to catch up on her sleep.

This time, she slept until late afternoon.

Zhao Chuchu got up refreshed and got some cupcakes from the space to fill her stomach.

After that, she planned to go to the garden to make a pot of tea and spend the rest of the afternoon away.

However, before she took out the tea, Xia Chengzhu came.

He finally got his dignity back. Even if he was bruised and sore all over, it did not stop him from looking for a woman.

When he was sure that he didn’t need the help of drugs to have fun with women, he spent much time playing in the brothel until he was exhausted.

Just as he felt a little refreshed, he couldn’t wait to come and look for Zhao Chuchu to see if she could cure him entirely so that he didn’t have to rely on drugs in the future.

Zhao Chuchu’s lips rose slightly into a wicked smile.

She dressed up a little and went to see Xia Chengzhu.

Xia Chengzhu was polite to Zhao Chuchu this time instead of being aggressive, like in the morning.

“Miss Lin, finally.” Xia Chengzhu gave her a flattering smile. “You are really a great doctor. That’s really impressive. I had a lot of fun…”

Before he finished speaking, Xia Chengzhu stopped and laughed dryly. “Sorry, Miss Lin, I’m sorry. By the way, I’m here to ask you to do me a favor. I want you to come to my house and treat my brother. Please do come with me.”

“It’s late today, and your brother’s condition is not that serious. Why don’t we wait for tomorrow?” Zhao Chuchu refused him.

When Xia Chengzhu heard this, he was not unhappy at all.

As the eldest son of the Xia clan, Xia Chengzhu naturally hoped that no one would compete with him for the family fortune.

For the death of Xia Chengrong, he was not a bit sad. If Xia Chengxue also died, he would even like to give it a celebration.

With this in mind, Zhao Chuchu had done all this to him.

If Xia Chengzhu really cared about his brothers, he wouldn’t keep having fun with women when Xia Chengrong just died a few days ago.

“Since Miss Lin is unavailable today, I will come back tomorrow. But Miss Lin, I have one more thing to ask…” “Do you mean your illness?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll write a prescription for you. You better take it for a while, and if you can, it’s better for you to abstain from sex. It’ll help you recover faster.”

“I don’t think I can do that.” “Sir, if you want to recover sooner, it’s better to follow the doctor’s advice.”

“Then how long will it take?”

“At least half a month.’

When Xia Chengzhu thought of not being able to have fun with women for half a month, he immediately felt frustrated.

“And what if I can’t wait that long?”

“That’s why I’m talking about control. Take control of yourself. It won’t be much of a problem if you keep it in check. If you abandon yourself to it, I’m afraid you won’t be able to do it for the rest of your life.”

“Why?”

Xia Chengzhu almost jumped up.

“Then why did you say you could cure me? Is this supposed to be a joke?”

“I said, if you lose control, you will be hopeless. That’s why I wanted you to take better control of yourself.”

“So that I won’t be like that anymore.”

“Yes.”

Xia Chengzhu was a little relieved.

Zhao Chuchu wrote a prescription for Xia Chengzhu, telling him how to decoct the medicine and how to take it.

Xia Chengzhu took it to heart and graciously gave Zhao Chuchu a hundred taels of silver. “If you can cure me completely, you stand to gain many more benefits.

“Many thanks, sir.”

“I’ll get going. See you tomorrow.”

Xia Chengzhu took the prescription and left the Yuan clan. Before he went to get the medicine, he asked several doctors to see if there were any problems with the prescription. Only after he got a positive answer did Xia Chengzhu feel relieved to get the medicine.

The thought of being able to do what he did today in the future made Xia Chengzhu walk with high spirits.

He returned to the Xia clan and found his father sitting in the front room, seemingly waiting for him.

Xia Chengzhu felt something was wrong.

“Father.” He went in obediently. “Why are you still up?”

“Because I can’t fall asleep, you son of a bi*ch. Did you fulfill the task I gave you earlier today? Where is the person I asked for?” Xia Songquan raised his hand and tossed the cup over angrily.

He had long heard that Xia Chengzhu had gone to the Yuan clan and got beaten up, then ran to the youth house and stayed there all day before going to the Yuan clan again in the evening!

Xia Songquan knew his sons too well not to know what he was doing in the brothel.

Xia Chengzhu covered his head and dodged it.

“Father, I did invite the person you were asking for, but Miss Lin said today is not good and wanted us to wait till tomorrow. You can’t blame me. She has the Yuan clan backing her up. I can’t do anything to her on the Yuan clan’s property, can I? Nobody can treat my brother if she becomes angry and leaves Guangqing Province.”

“Is that so? Tell me what you did during the day?”

“I, I was just trying to see if that woman’s medical skills were really good, and I didn’t mean to go to the brothel. After all, my brother is still sick. I have to know if she is good enough before I let her come to treat him.”

“Nonsense, how did I have such a useless son as you!”

The more Xia Chengzhu said, the more exasperated Xia Songquan became. The part of him that was still sober told him to be calm, or he would have beaten him to death.

“Useless thing!” he cursed in his mind.

“Father, calm down, please. Tomorrow I’ll bring that little woman here. He’ll cure my brother. Father, that woman is a really good doctor even though she’s young. She could tell my problem at a mere glance. How impressive is that?”

Xia Songquan took a deep breath and told himself to be calm. He had already lost a son. He didn’t want to lose another by killing one himself.

“She also gave me a prescription and said I’ll be as good as new in half a month at most. I assure you I’ll give you as many grandsons as you want.”

“Get lost!”

Xia Songquan picked up another tealight and threw it over again.

“Bastard.”

Xia Chengzhu stumbled out of the front room, not forgetting to pat his chest and rejoice that he had finally dodged a bullet.

Xia Songquan looked rather serious, as if a storm was about to come.

“Sir, don’t be angry. Don’t take what your son said seriously. You have to take care of yourself. The family can’t be without you.” A woman with a good figure and delicate face appeared from the screen and pressed most of her body against Xia Songquan.

“Anyway, the doctor also said that your son’s condition is not serious anymore. That woman will be here tomorrow. Why don’t we just wait and see? You shouldn’t take things with your son too seriously. It’ll make you sick.”

Xia Songquan grabbed the woman’s hand and pulled her to his lap. “I have to blame those little bastards of mine. If they were as thoughtful as you, I wouldn’t have to worry so much..”
