Fierce Love: Bringing Wife Home
Chapter 514 - 4 The Luckiest Thing is Meeting You

Chapter 514: Chapter 4 The Luckiest Thing is Meeting You

Gu Xiaoxi sat on the hotel sofa, took out her phone, and looked up the Imperial Capital Ye Family.

The head of the Ye Family was the current crown jewel of the Jing Mingcheng entourage.

Most of the Ye family brothers were in business, and they had achieved great success.

She quickly found information about the Ye family, including the latest news that there was a rumor of a illegitimate child in the Ye family.

Because his mother had passed away, he had been brought by his uncle to their doorstep.

Only then did the Ye family learn that the family head actually had an illegitimate child.

The presence of Ye Shen here now inevitably made one wonder if the Ye family was truly a place of great peril, like a dragon’s den and a tiger’s lair.

Even a child of just over ten years old was not spared.

Gu Xiaoxi put away her phone, deciding to leave it there. She chose not to look further and did not want to know more.

No sooner had she put down her phone than a call came in.

When she saw who it was, it was Su San.

"Xiao Xi, have you arrived? Sorry, there was no signal on my phone because I was deep in the mountains," Su San said apologetically.

"No problem, I’ve found a hotel to stay at."

"Then I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning. We’ll go straight to Lu Xi’s residence," Su San said.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Okay!"

...

The next morning, Su San’s car stopped at the hotel entrance.

Gu Xiaoxi, ready to depart, stepped out with her belongings alongside Jing Haoran.

Ye Shen, with his new clean clothes and standing almost as tall as Gu Xiaoxi’s chest at eleven years old, looked rather thin and frail.

He followed silently behind them, not uttering a word.

As Gu Xiaoxi descended the stairs, she saw Su San approach with a beaming smile.

He still had the appearance of a middle-aged uncle, even sporting a beard, which did give him a rugged, masculine charm.

"Xiao Xi, look at you, bringing along two bodyguards when you step out!" Su San teased with a smile, "But what can this little guy do?"

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at him and then explained as she got into the car, "I picked him up at a bar last night."

Jing Haoran took Ye Shen and got into the car.

Su San took a look at Ye Shen and continued to address Gu Xiaoxi, "You came this time not just to see Lu Xi, did you?"

Gu Xiaoxi turned to look at him with a smile, "Of course not. But did you find the person you’re helping me look for?"

"A man called Ya, holding a jade flute, capable of playing sounds of heavenly charm?" Su San joked with a smile.

At this description, Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes immediately brightened, "Have you got news for me?"

"No!" Su San shook his head as he drove, "This man is like a legend. While people have heard his flute’s beautiful sound, and some have seen him, nobody knows where he is."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi let out a sigh of disappointment, then helplessly said, "It’s true, if he was that easy to find, I wouldn’t have to come out all this way."

"What do you want with him anyway? Such a legendary figure, do you know him?" Su San asked curiously, quite interested in Gu Xiaoxi’s circle of acquaintances.

"I know him, and I owe him something. I’m looking for him because there are some questions I need to ask him." However, Gu Xiaoxi also suspected that this Cultivation Technique wasn’t the first volume of the third level.

So, she wasn’t even qualified to open it.

If it was really so.

She’d have to find a way to locate the remaining Crystals.

...

Now, Gu Xiaoxi’s mission became even more pressing.

Lu Xi lived hundreds of kilometers away from Central City in D State, on a farm.

The farm was surrounded by dozens of acres of vineyards.

At the end of the vineyards, there was a brook that flowed with mountain spring water all year round.

A tastefully built villa lay not far from there, the surrounding area abloom with flowers.

Su San parked the car at the entrance.

Gu Xiaoxi opened the car door.

As she got out, she saw Lu Xi sitting in a wheelchair, smiling at her from a distance.

Gone was his former spirited charisma; now he sported long hair and his large eyes always seemed tinged with a sense of despair and decadence.

Gu Xiaoxi walked towards him with a heavy heart.

When Lu Xi saw her, he lifted the corners of his mouth into a smile and opened his arms to her from afar.

She walked up quickly and bent down to give him a gentle hug.

This man was a mentor to her and the most brilliant sunshine in her life.

He was the one who accompanied her through the most rebellious year of her growth.

He helped her transform from an underachiever to a top student.

He taught her to drive, indulged her in wild adventures, and honed her growth.

Without him.

Perhaps she still lived in Luoli City, a wild girl who had no idea of the truth behind her mother’s death.

"It’s so good to grow up!" Lu Xi didn’t want to cry, but when he saw the little girl who used to only play pranks, now capable of standing on her own and taking revenge for him by winning the gold medal at the D-state racing championship.

He felt that there were no regrets in this life, and his eyes could not help but redden.

"Master! It wasn’t easy for me to come and see you. You should be a little happier," Gu Xiaoxi hurriedly wiped the moisture from the corner of her eyes.

The last time they parted in a hurry, he was still lying in the hospital bed.

In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed.

He had clearly aged a lot and lost the frivolity of his youth.

"I am moved, Master. It’s great to see you happy, come on! Let’s go inside and talk," Lu Xi immediately revealed a smile, his eye corners curling up.

Gu Xiaoxi pushed his wheelchair, and everybody entered the house together.

Jing Haoran stood there stunned, it took him a long time to come to his senses.

"Lu Xi! You are that racing god?" Jing Haoran walked up quickly, his eyes filled with admiration, and even his emotions were a bit agitated.

As a man, as a car enthusiast, Lu Xi was the hero they worshiped.

Lu Xi looked puzzled at Jing Haoran and turned towards Gu Xiaoxi, "Who is he?"

"He is the young master of the Imperial Capital’s Jing Family," Gu Xiaoxi said, and Lu Xi immediately understood. The young master of the Jing Family from the Imperial Capital, that could only be one family.

"Lu Xi, you can just call me Jing Haoran. I used to admire you so much, I never thought I’d actually meet you in person," Jing Haoran stood in front of Lu Xi, emotionally moved.

Lu Xi let out a light chuckle, "You calm down first, let’s go inside and talk."

With that, he also noticed another young boy.

Gu Xiaoxi explained, "He’s someone I saved while passing through Black Street. He had nowhere to go, so I brought him here. If you still want an apprentice, take him in!"

Gu Xiaoxi said so nonchalantly.

Ye Shen looked at her, gratitude unspeakable in his heart.

Gu Xiaoxi saved him and also found him a place to make a living.

Although she was always distant and didn’t really attend to him, she was the person who had shown him the greatest kindness.

Lu Xi, however, sighed and said, "This leg of mine will never heal in this lifetime. I am already content to be alive now. I have no spare energy to take on apprentices."

"Don’t say that!" Gu Xiaoxi pushed Lu Xi into the living room and hurriedly said, "With your all-powerful apprentice here, I will definitely help you heal your leg."

Lu Xi smiled, taking Gu Xiaoxi’s words as a joke.

His leg had multiple comminuted fractures, how could these shattered bones ever be mended?

In this world, perhaps only immortals would have that ability.

*

With the arrival of Gu Xiaoxi, the villa suddenly became lively.

Su San temporarily had nothing to do, so he also found a room to stay in.

Jing Haoran simply loved it here.

When he saw the trophy from the D-state racing championship, he was utterly thrilled.

"Although I didn’t attend the gold cup race, the video footage that followed was indeed inspiring. Your apprentice is so impressive, Lu Xi!" Jing Haoran, stroking the trophy, said emotionally.

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at him, feeling that Jing Haoran was sometimes quick-witted but sometimes slow on the uptake.

Wasn’t she Lu Xi’s apprentice...

After settling down, Gu Xiaoxi asked Su San to help look for a Purple Crystal similar to the one she had in hand.

When Su San saw the crystal, he frowned.

"I seem to have seen this somewhere, but I just can’t remember where right now," he said.

Gu Xiaoxi immediately stepped forward excitedly and urged insistently, "Take a good look at this crystal and think again. It’s very important to me."

"Alright! Don’t get anxious, let me think," Su San said as he lowered his head and shook it, hoping to retrieve that blurry memory.

Gu Xiaoxi did not rush him.

As long as he seemed to have seen it, it surely could be found.

In the afternoon, Gu Xiaoxi prepared to treat Lu Xi’s leg injury.

Her Spiritual Power could cure all diseases, as long as there wasn’t a missing arm or leg, or dried blood, she could save them.

Of course, Lu Xi didn’t know about Gu Xiaoxi’s Inner Strength and Spiritual Energy.

Before he left, she had only just begun to cultivate.

After an hour of treatment, Gu Xiaoxi only managed to repair part of the broken bones.

To heal completely, it would require at least six treatments.

Gu Xiaoxi’s cultivation was not yet complete, so this was all she could do for now.

"Don’t be anxious, I will repair it once a day. In no more than six days, your bones will join correctly, the injured muscles will recover, and with diligent exercise, you should definitely be healed within a month," Gu Xiaoxi said with a determined look.

Lu Xi felt very comfortable, as if his leg were enveloped in sunlight, during the treatment with Gu Xiaoxi.

Even though his feet were still numb, it ignited a glimmer of hope in him.

"Xiao Xi, in this lifetime, the luckiest thing for your master was meeting you," Lu Xi thought emotionally. Whether or not his legs healed, she was his lucky star.
