Chapter 20: Chapter 20 I Want to Help Cure Your Leg Chapter 20: Chapter 20 I Want to Help Cure Your Leg Miss Lu Sheng left the inner hall, most of the guests had already left tonight.
Lu Jingyan had also returned to the Lu Family with Jiang Ting, leaving only a driver outside waiting for her.
The back yard lawn, bustling with people just before, had now quieted down. Miss Lu Sheng stood straight and searched for the person with her eyes.
…Not here.
Did he leave?
She sniffed the air, the faint scent of Evil Qi was almost imperceptible. Miss Lu Sheng curled up the corners of her mouth. So he didn’t leave after all.
Then, she couldn’t help but frown—her skill in finding people was just like a dog’s, not cool at all.
[Inside the car]
“Boss, are you waiting for Miss Lu Sheng?”
Chen An, sitting in the driver’s seat, said to Li Muchen in the back seat, “The servants of the Fu Family said Miss Lu Sheng is talking with Old Mr. Fu, do you want to go ask?”
“No need.” Li Muchen let out two words, his emotions unreadable.
In fact, Li Muchen himself didn’t know why, even though the auction had ended, he was still waiting here.
He just wanted to see the young girl once more.
The girl gave him a feeling of mystery combined with an enticing allure, compelling him to explore further.
An unexpected appearance, audaciously getting close, provocatively flirting, maintaining a tantalizing distance.
Like a rose blooming wildly in the wilderness, tempting a traveler to bend down and sll her fragrance, yet bizarrely enough, it stirred so doubt.
Thud thud.
Suddenly, soone knocked on the window.
Li Muchen’s heart stirred, and as he looked up, he saw ng Lin standing outside with a red wooden box containing Red ginseng in her hand, so he wound down the window.
“President Li, I apologize for disturbing you.”
ng Lin leaned forward slightly, speaking politely.
Bailin had several business dealings with Li Group before, and ng Lin had t Li Muchen a few tis in public, but this was the first ti they spoke so close privately.
The opponent was indeed too imposing, with a handso yet stern face, showing no emotion, indeed maintaining an air of keep distance.
“Is there anything President ng wants?” Li Muchen looked up.
“That’s right, President Li,” ng Lin looked at Li Muchen, “a friend of mine asked to bid on this Red ginseng to give to you, please do not refuse it.”
Li Muchen paused for a few seconds: “…President ng and I bid up to fifteen million, and then you give this item you bid on?”
ng Lin took a deep breath.
Indeed, her act now seed problematic and appeared purposely provocative.
ng Lin replied: “My friend said, spending more money to bid is also for donating to charity, I hope President Li won’t mind.”
“I will accept the item,” Li Muchen’s eyes held a asure of scrutiny, “but I would like to know, who is this friend President ng ntioned?”
“I’m sorry, President Li,” ng Lin said, “this friend of mine prefers to keep a low profile, but she definitely knows you, that’s why she asked to get this item for you.”
“You just take the item, consider my task done.” Saying this, ng Lin handed over the brocade box.
It took a while before Li Muchen said, “Then thank you, President ng, please thank your friend for her kindness.”
Li Muchen had been in the business world for many years, all social interactions he had seen were mixed with interests.
But he didn’t fuss about who the gift-giver was.
Since they spent so much money to give him the item, they naturally had sothing to ask of him. He just needed to wait for that person to co to him.
However, the first one to co was the young girl.
He first t her without any warning outside the car yesterday, and this ti, she confidently and naturally opened the car door and got in.
“President Li, what a coincidence,” Miss Lu Sheng greeted with a smile.
…How is this a coincidence?
The young girl clearly headed straight for their car and got in right away.
Chen An couldn’t help but be astonished.
First, because of the young girl’s sudden appearance, second, for her fearlessness towards Li Muchen, and third, due to his boss’s unexpected reaction.
The young girl climbed directly into the back seat, and the boss didn’t even frown.
Li Muchen usually doesn’t allow others close.
“…Miss Lu Sheng.”
Chen An, sitting in the driver’s seat, nodded in acknowledgnt.
“Are you President Li’s assistant?” Miss Lu Sheng looked at Chen An, her eyes smiling, “Hello, I’m Lu Sheng.”
“I’m Chen An,” Chen An responded politely, “Miss Lu Sheng’s piano performance earlier was splendid.”
“Thank you.” Miss Lu Sheng smiled, then turned to look at the man seated next to her, waiting for him to speak.
“Are you looking for ?” Li Muchen raised his eyes.
“Of course.”
Miss Lu Sheng leaned in slightly, her eyes sparkling, “President Li, do you have a gift to give ?”
Li Muchen’s eyes flashed with surprise.
“I saw you at the auction, President Li, and I was watching you too.”
“You originally had no intention to bid on the Luminous Pearl, did you bid after seeing I was interested in it?”
“…”
Li Muchen was at a loss for words for a mont.
The girl’s bold directness exceeded his expectations.
She directly pointed out that she was watching him at the venue and guessed that he bid on the Luminous Pearl because of her.
“Miss Lu, how are you so sure that I spent one million on the Luminous Pearl to give it to you?”
Li Muchen said expressionlessly, “If I rember correctly, we’ve only t twice before.”
“Correction, this is the third ti now,” Lu Sheng smiled, “and although we just t, the interactions between President Li and are more than just passing by, there’s also…”
Indeed, more than just passing by.
The first ti, she bent down and kissed him alongside the bustling road.
The second ti, she placed her hand on his thigh under everyone’s gaze.
“I said yesterday, the next ti we et I would repay you, President Li.”
Actually, Li Muchen didn’t know the purpose behind the girl’s actions yesterday, nor what she obtained from him.
But now, he was more curious about what she ntioned as repaynt.
“What are you going to repay with?” Li Muchen raised his eyes.
“Would you like to know, President Li,” Lu Sheng blinked, “then you need to take off your pants first.”
Chen An in front gasped, trying to maintain his composure: “Boss, maybe I should just step out—”
Chen An hadn’t finished speaking when he saw the young girl take out a folded red cloth from her handbag, opening it to reveal rows of silver needles.
“This is…” Li Muchen was slightly taken aback.
“I want to help cure your legs.” Lu Sheng’s tone beca serious.
“Your leg nerves haven’t undergone complete physical necrosis—it’s severe neuronal damage causing immobility. Acupuncture can be used to unblock ridians, activate blood flow, and repair neurons.”
“I’ll give you acupuncture tonight first, so you can feel the effects. If you find it useful, I’ll give you acupuncture twice a week from now on.”
“That brocade box contains Red ginseng, right? Red ginseng is effective in unblocking ridians and energizing blood. Acupuncture along with Red ginseng will yield better results.”
Her tone was full of confidence and certainty, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm, “I guarantee, within half a month you’ll be able to stand up.”
