Chapter 102: The Hopeless A-Dou

Chapter 102: Chapter 102: The Hopeless A-Dou

Elder Woo Hongmiao’s expression involuntarily changed upon hearing this.

He had assumed that the other party didn’t know this was Blood Tai Sui, nor did they understand its value, but now it seemed obvious that was not the case.

"It seems I have truly underestimated you all!"

Since he had been seen through, Elder Woo no longer hid the truth, "You’re right, this Blood Tai Sui is of significant importance to Mr. Du, and I hope you can hand it over. Rest assured, Mr. Du won’t take advantage of you, and is willing to pay three billion for this Blood Tai Sui. How about it?"

Earning an extra billion just by flipping it, Elder Woo thought it was such profitable trade that there was no reason for the other party to refuse.

Yet Chen Xuan’s response surprised him, "I think, not so good!"

If it were someone who didn’t know the business, earning an extra billion just by flipping it would likely have them laughing all the way to the bank, but Chen Xuan wasn’t foolish.

Just considering the medicinal value of this Blood Tai Sui alone, if he were to bring it to those in need, it would be worth at least tens of billions to start with.

This elder in a long robe in front of him wanted to have Chen Xuan hand over this item for a mere three billion, which was clearly an attempt to hoodwink him!

Hearing Chen Xuan’s response, Elder Woo’s face immediately turned unpleasant.

"Kid, giving you the chance to earn an extra billion is already giving you enough face. Don’t be ungrateful!"

Elder Woo was not just a simple famous doctor. His Ren Miao Hall was one of the top medical halls in Nanhu, with disciples all over the two Jiang regions and the entire country, his power was indeed considerable. Naturally, he didn’t take a nobody like Chen Xuan seriously.

Chen Xuan snorted coldly, "If we’re talking about face, mine is surely worth more than a billion. Even tens or hundreds of billions wouldn’t be too much. Are you sure you want to talk to me about face?"

Elder Woo completely lost his temper, "Kid, you choose to ignore the toast only to be forced to drink the forfeit. Do you really think you can afford to provoke the Du Family of Nanhu? Don’t blame me for not warning you, think carefully about the consequences before you make a decision!"

Chen Xuan’s eyes grew cold, "Are you threatening me?"

A powerful killing intent surged towards Elder Woo, shocking him so much that his pupils dilated sharply, and he stood frozen in place.

Elder Woo had seen quite a bit in his time, and he immediately realized that this young man before him was skilled in martial arts!

Zhao Boqian hurriedly urged in a low voice next to Chen Xuan’s ear, "Brother Chen, the Du Family of Nanhu is really not to be trifled with, maybe we should..."

Chen Xuan snorted coldly, "I, Chen Xuan, have never been afraid of anyone. If the Du Family from Nanhu is difficult to deal with, then they should also know that I, Chen Xuan, am even tougher to handle!"

Having said this, Chen Xuan didn’t say another word and drove away.

Zhao Boqian coughed awkwardly.

This Mr. Chen was right, he truly was no less formidable than the Du Family of Nanhu!

Du Mingshen wore a pained expression. He had intended to negotiate properly with Chen Xuan, even if it would cost a little more, but unexpectedly the talk broke down completely before it even got going.

Now, the instigator Elder Woo was filled with mortified anger. "Damnable thing, really biting the hand that feeds!"

Du Mingshen sighed helplessly, "Elder Woo, you were indeed too hasty just now."

Elder Woo’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness, "There’s no point in talking to such an ignorant youngster. Mr. Du, rest assured, I’ll take care of this matter. No matter what it takes, I will get that Blood Tai Sui for you!"

Du Mingshen immediately understood Elder Woo’s implication, "No! My Du Family has been a reputable merchant in Nanhu for a hundred years, and we have always abided by the principles of the marketplace. Since the person doesn’t want to sell, we absolutely should not coerce!"

"But..."

"No more words. Even if my father’s illness cannot be cured, I will definitely not resort to such despicable methods!"

After speaking, Du Mingshen left with a face ashen with anger.

Watching Du Mingshen’s retreating figure, Elder Woo’s expression instantly turned grim. "Truly lifts no weight and can’t pull an inch [An incompetent person that’s hard to assist]!"

Although Woo Hongmiao was only a doctor, his ambitions were quite grand.

Over a month ago, when Elder Master Du fell seriously ill, a message was disseminated throughout Nanhu. Anyone who could cure Elder Master Du’s illness would be recognized as a major benefactor of the Du Family and treated as an honored guest.

At the same time, among the Du Family descendants, whoever could find the doctor to cure Elder Master Du would also become the primary heir to the future Family Head position!

Once this news was released, the entire medical community of Nanhu was set ablaze.

Countless doctors sharpened their wits and volunteered, each aiming for the great favor of the Du Family, including Woo Hongmiao.

Woo Hongmiao had originally thought that with his connection to Du Mingshen, a legitimate member of the Du Family, if he could help cure Elder Master Du, not only would he be owed a great favor by the Du Family, but also by Du Mingshen, the future Family Head.

However, he hadn’t expected that Du Mingshen would be so obstinate and dim-witted, squandering such a glorious opportunity for their mutual ascent, leaving Woo Hongmiao utterly disappointed.

Woo Hongmiao was quick-witted. Seeing that Du Mingshen was a lost cause, he naturally saw no need to continue betting all his chips on this card.

Woo Hongmiao immediately made a call, "Hello, Second Young Master, are you busy at the moment? I have a way to cure the old master’s illness. I was wondering if you might be interested?"

After leaving Hanjiang Pavilion, Chen Xuan had intended to go straight to Lakeside Villa, but then he suddenly thought of something and turned the steering wheel to drive to Fenghua Residential Area.

"Jingting, can you come down for a moment? I have something for you," Chen Xuan sent a text to Han Jingting.

A few minutes later, Han Jingting walked out of the apartment building.

At that moment, Han Jingting was dressed in a purple silk nightgown that was casual with a touch of sexiness, exuding a different charm from her usual urban white-collar attire.

"Did I disturb your rest?" he asked.

Han Jingting shook her head, "You know I never sleep that early."

As she spoke, Han Jingting couldn’t help but regret it, as it reminded her of the six years they had shared a room, intimately familiar with each other’s habits, yet without any marital relations.

Han Jingting coughed to relieve the awkwardness, "What brings you here so late?"

Chen Xuan hastily handed over a box.

"It’s my mother’s birthday in a couple of days. This is the birthday gift I prepared for her."

Inside the box, in fact, was the Northern Song Dynasty Hundred Longevity Jade Vase!

After leaving Hanjiang Pavilion earlier, Zhao Boqian had given this pair of Northern Song Dynasty Hundred Shou Jade Vases, worth twelve million, to Chen Xuan as a token of appreciation.

After all, after acquiring the Bronze Double Fish Vessel, these Hundred Shou Jade Vases seemed too ordinary in comparison.

These Hundred Shou Jade Vases were originally meant to symbolize blessings and long life, making them perfect as a birthday gift.

Although Chen Xuan was not fond of his mother-in-law, Ding Lijuan, she was, after all, Han Jingting’s mother.

Since Han Jingting had always been dutiful to her own mother, Xu Suzhen, Chen Xuan felt he should do the same, even if not for the sake of his mother-in-law, then for Han Jingting and Xiao Yu’s sake.

So, Chen Xuan took advantage of the opportunity to give one of the Hundred Shou Jade Vase pair to Ding Lijuan for her birthday, while reserving the other for his mother, Xu Suzhen!

Han Jingting looked at the box in her hands and was momentarily stunned, then smiled and nodded, "You’re thoughtful!"

To be honest, Han Jingting didn’t really take Chen Xuan’s gift seriously.

After all, from her perspective, he was hardly in a position to give anything of significant value. Yet, she accepted it as a token of his sentiment.

Little could Han Jingting imagine that the seemingly inconspicuous little vase she held in her hands was worth more than all her family’s possessions combined!
