The Sweetest Medicine - Chapter 144

Yu Gangan was dumbfounded by her uncle’s attitude as she turned to look at Fang Zhihan, “Why is my uncle so afraid of you? What did you say to him when we left the other day?”

Fang Zhihan looked at her, his gaze had an unfathomable depth, “Shouldn’t you be worried about your clinic?”

Yu Gangan sighed, “What’s the point of worrying? Worrying won’t put an end to the matter.”

Lu Xuechen sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. “I investigated the incident briefly for you. Do you know how things blew up so dramatically?”

Yu Gangan nodded her head, “I know. It’s because the Qiao Family wants to buy my clinic but I won’t sell it to them so they’re trying to force me. Before you guys arrived, Qiao Pan’er already sent someone to negotiate with me.”

“Then, do you know why the Qiao Family is so persistent about buying your clinic?” Lu Xuechen asked.

“Why?” This was something that Yu Gangan actually wanted to know.

“Baiyang City is planning to build a modern aged healthcare base. In Baiyang City, Nanzhen Street is the only street that maintains the appearance of the old city. The council has decided to build on Nanzhen Street because, firstly, it’s got a fresh atmosphere and the transport is convenient. And secondly, they can take the opportunity to redevelop the old city,” Lu Xuechen explained.

“What does this have to do with the Qiao Family’s interest in my clinic?” Yu Gangan couldn’t understand. If the council had plans to redevelop the street, then the clinic was bound to be torn down sooner or later.

“That’s because they’re planning to use Yueming Hall as the site for the base,” Fang Zhihan said.

“The biggest real estate company in Baiyang has already accepted this project. They must have leaked information to the Qiao Family that Yueming Hall has been selected as the project site. If the Qiao Family gains possession of Yueming Hall, they can use it to cooperate with the big guys and take on the project,” Lu Xuechen added.

Yu Gangan revealed an imposing gaze, “I see. No wonder they suddenly wanted the clinic. It seems, the trouble this time won’t be easy to resolve…”

The Qiao Family had always lived for profits. They could ignore all benevolence and morality for the sake of dirty money and they sacrificed countless people for it.

This aged healthcare base obviously had promising prospects, so the Qiao Family was determined to secure it.

And, they were bound to exhaust all methods.

Lu Xuechen smiled and said, “What’s so hard about it? Nothing in this world can’t be resolved by money. If money can’t resolve it, then offer more.”

Yu Gangan was speechless; she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

If she had money, she wouldn’t be so passive.

“The problem is, I don’t have money. I’m a poor doctor,” Yu Gangan spread her palms. If only her teacher was around, he would definitely resolve this matter for her.

“A poor doctor? You may be a poor doctor, but your man isn’t. Don’t you know how to use the charms of a woman to coax him for help while you’re in bed…?” Lu Xuechen revealed a naughty smile.

It took Yu Gangan a while, but she realized what the man meant, so she looked at him in shock and embarrassment.

Her cheeks flushed red as she turned toward Fang Zhihan angrily. “Y-You didn’t tell him?” she stuttered.

“Tell him what?” Fang Zhihan asked questioningly.

Yu Gangan bit her lip and replied, “Didn’t you tell him about our relationship?”

At that moment, a smile appeared on Fang Zhihan’s lips. Then, without hesitation, he said, “You mean, the fact that I’m your husband?”
