Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Overdoing the Treatment

"Mr. Wu, hurry with the cooking, there’s one more dish, it’ll be ready soon!"

Zhang Xue was not only beautiful and elegant but also adept in the kitchen, the epitome of a virtuous woman.

Wu Xia quickly dismissed those evil thoughts and politely said, "Mr. Xu is really fortunate. Mrs. Xu is adept both in the hall and the kitchen, truly enviable!"

Xu Jianzhong laughed heartily, "Mr. Wu, you flatter us, please have a seat!"

Although Wu Xia might have felt awkward at first, Xu Qing’s parents were very communicative. Even though they were respectful towards Wu Xia, they could make the conversation quite enjoyable.

Moreover, with Zhang Xue’s excellent cooking, Wu Xia ate comfortably and felt very happy.

After the meal, Xu Qing and Zhang Xue were busy clearing the table while Xu Jianzhong invited Wu Xia over for tea and a chat.

"Mr. Wu, this is our simple way of life, a small comfort!"

Xu Jianzhong spoke slowly, "We’re not extremely wealthy, but it’s very cozy here, and we’re quite content!"

Wu Xia sensed the implications in Xu Jianzhong’s words and said nothing, quietly waiting for him to continue.

"Heh!" Xu Jianzhong coughed twice, "Mr. Wu, I’m not one for beating around the bush, I’ll just say what I have to say!"

Wu Xia gestured for him to continue.

Xu Jianzhong spoke seriously, "We don’t want to take over the Zhao Family’s assets. It would bring us a lot of trouble. We’d rather just focus on what we have in our own hands!"

"But Qingqing says that’s what the Zhao Family owes her, and she insists on grasping at it. I would like to trouble you to take that thing back!"

"Misaligned power and virtue could lead Qingqing astray, letting her grow step by step on her own is the best way!"

"Otherwise it will only bring more troubles and rob her of happiness. We don’t aspire to immense wealth; we just want her to be happy, after all, she is a woman!"

Wu Xia looked at Xu Jianzhong in surprise, not expecting that this man, who didn’t seem much older than himself, barely in his forties, could see things so clearly.

"What’s the big deal about suffering a loss? Qingqing hasn’t been harmed. Setbacks are a way to grow!"

Xu Jianzhong spoke leisurely, pushing the teacup towards Wu Xia, "Mr. Wu, thank you!"

Wu Xia came back to reality, realizing that Xu Qing hadn’t told her parents the true events of that day, and smiled helplessly.

"Since Mr. Xu finds it inappropriate, then I’ll have someone withdraw. However, if there’s anything you need help with in the future, just let me know. Hai City’s industries have now consolidated, and there will be no more vicious competition."

"Thank you, Mr. Wu!" Xu Jianzhong bowed in gratitude.

As the two of them were enjoying their conversation, a sharp scream came from the kitchen.

"Ah! Mom, what’s wrong?"

Wu Xia and Xu Jianzhong rushed into the kitchen to find Zhang Xue fainted on the floor, her nostrils bleeding continuously.

Xu Jianzhong was about to help Zhang Xue up, but Wu Xia stopped him, "Don’t touch her. She has a hemorrhage in her head, moving her now could cause the blood to backflow."

"What?" Xu Jianzhong and Xu Qing exchanged looks, and Xu Qing, remembering how Wu Xia had helped her counteract the aphrodisiac, and knowing he possessed medical knowledge, quickly asked, "Mr. Wu, what should we do now?"

Wu Xia didn’t speak but crouched down to check Zhang Xue’s condition.

After a while, Wu Xia asked in a serious tone, "Has she suffered a head injury in the past? Were the clots in her brain never cleared?"

"Yes!" Xu Jianzhong nodded, "She had a car accident ten years ago. Back then, medical technology wasn’t advanced enough for surgery, and even now, the surgery would be very risky. So, we’ve been relying on medication, but there haven’t been any issues over the years, so we didn’t pay much attention to it."

"If the clot remains in a fixed position, indeed, it wouldn’t be a big issue," Wu Xia said seriously. "But when she gets agitated, or if there’s a rapid blood flow, it could cause her to become dizzy. It’s just a matter of how severe the symptoms are."

"Yes!" Xu Jianzhong nodded eagerly, his face showing a hint of embarrassment, "Mr. Wu, to be frank with you, we’ve been sleeping in separate beds for years because in the first few years, every time we were intimate, Xue would inexplicably faint, and it scared me a lot!"

"We couldn’t find anything wrong at the hospital, so we could only treat it conservatively, afraid to make any major move!"

Xu Jianzhong spoke anxiously, "Mr. Wu, since you can see the problem, is it possible for you to cure Xue?"

Wu Xia had a good impression of Xu Jianzhong and Zhang Xue, so of course, he wouldn’t refuse to help with something within his power.

"Do you have a bathtub at home?"

"Yes!" Xu Jianzhong nodded.

"Set the water heater to over fifty degrees Celsius, and then fill the bathtub with water!"

Wu Xia commanded, "Xu Qing, go to the pharmacy outside and buy a set of silver needles, a bottle of alcohol, a box of amoxicillin, glucose, and vitamin B."

"Mm-hmm!"

Xu Jianzhong and his daughter went their separate ways.

Wu Xia used Spiritual Power to seal off the blood clot in Zhang Xue’s head, picked her up, and followed Xu Jianzhong to the room.

By the time Xu Jianzhong had the water ready, Xu Qing had also returned with the items.

"You two go out first, don’t come in to disturb me until I come out," Wu Xia said gravely. This kind of brain blood clot treatment was especially sensitive to disturbances from the surrounding environment.

It wasn’t Wu Xia who was afraid of being affected, but rather he feared that Zhang Xue would be affected by the presence of others outside, which could accelerate her circulation.

Xu Jianzhong’s face was somber; he was still somewhat uneasy.

But Xu Qing had already taken his arm: "Dad, don’t worry, trust Mr. Wu, he can do it!"

Although she was worried, she had a lot of trust in Wu Xia.

In the end, Xu Jianzhong could only nod and leave.

For safety, Wu Xia also set up a Formation to isolate the area before he finally placed Zhang Xue into the bathtub.

He had intended to take off Zhang Xue’s clothes to allow the hot water to soak in more easily, but considering she was an auntie-level figure, and thinking it might be embarrassing for Zhang Xue when she awoke, he refrained from doing so.

However, Wu Xia regretted it as soon as he put her in the water.

As her clothes became soaked, they immediately revealed the red underwear she wore underneath.

The vivid color, along with the faintly discernible outline, was even more enticing.

Wu Xia quickly suppressed any distractions. After all, this was Xu Qing’s mother, a woman in her forties.

Yet, Zhang Xue looked nothing like a woman in her forties; she appeared to be in her early thirties at most, having maintained herself exceptionally well.

Especially that delicate skin, beautiful face, and slender figure, all were exquisitely appealing.

Especially when Xu Jianzhong had said that it had been ten years since he and Zhang Xue were intimate, which must have been incredibly frustrating for her.

In the midst of incredibly complex thoughts, Wu Xia finally finished treating Zhang Xue and cleared the hematoma from her brain.

"Cough, cough!"

Zhang Xue also came to amidst coughing.

Although she had been unconscious the whole time, she was aware of what had happened; as soon as she opened her eyes, the first thing she did was to thank Wu Xia.

"Mr. Wu, thank you... Ah!"

Zhang Xue hadn’t finished speaking when she suddenly screamed; her face turned completely red.

Because Wu Xia had also been soaking in the bathtub for treatment, his body was soaking wet, and the hardness below was very obvious as it stood prominently.

"Mrs. Zhang, I’m sorry!"

Wu Xia quickly covered himself, scrambling to stand up.

But the bathtub was slippery, and just as he stood up, he slipped towards Zhang Xue, toppling her into the bathtub.

Zhang Xue choked on water, and Wu Xia hurried to pull her up, but in the cramped space, his hand landed on her breast.

And in her panic, Zhang Xue reached out to grab anything she could, and just happened to grab onto Wu Xia’s erection.

As their eyes met, both of their bodies froze in place.
