Chapter 175 Revisiting the Jiang Family, The Secret of Moon Pool
"Three hundred thousand!"
Li Yuechi held up three fingers and gestured.
"Miss Li, we're risking offending Wang Sanmu, and you're only offering 300,000?" Fatty Lin shook his head and said, "Do you know how much we make a month as the gambling king's personal physician?"
Before Li Yuechi could answer, Fatty Lin said, "One million! That's just for a pulse check and acupuncture every morning, plus a car and women!"
"We'll also contribute one million!" Jiang Lianheng said.
"Three million!"
Fatty Lin didn't waste any time and held up three fingers.
"good!"
Jiang Lianheng was about to say something when Li Yuechi stopped him and readily agreed.
"Okay, three million it is!"
Jiang Lianheng gritted his teeth and agreed.
I didn't say anything, I just found it a bit ridiculous.
Three million may sound like a lot, but for some wealthy families, it's not much.
The Jiang family is a shipping magnate family with a net worth of at least tens of billions. In particular, Jiang Lianheng's biological father is the chairman. Under such circumstances, it's a bit strange that Jiang Lianheng is so reluctant to spend even three million.
After we agreed on the terms, Jiang Lianheng wrote us a check for one million yuan as a deposit, with the remaining amount to be settled later.
This kind of behavior is petty.
Back at the villa, Fourth Wife had just returned as well. I subtly inquired about the Jiang family's situation, and Fourth Wife immediately understood, smiling as she asked, "Thirteenth, Jiang Lianheng has come to see you for treatment, hasn't he?"
"Sister Ling, how did you know?" I asked curiously.
After nearly two months of getting along, we got along quite well with Fourth Sister. She told us to call her Sister Ling.
For the past two months, the money has been provided by the fourth wife, and the car and woman have also been provided by her.
No matter how unscrupulous she is in her pursuit of power, we still have to give her the respect she deserves. After all, you're paid to do something!
So, if she tells me to call her Sister Ling, then I'll call her that!
"It's no secret that Jiang Lianheng was bitten by his mistress!"
Fourth Wife smiled and said, "These past few months, he's become the laughingstock of our circle. Keeping a mistress to this extent—he's truly one of a kind!"
"Sister Ling, what exactly happened? Please tell me!" Fatty Lin humbly asked for advice.
"It's quite simple. Jiang Lianheng had a mistress who got pregnant, and when Li Yuechi found out, she beat the mistress until she miscarried!"
"After the miscarriage, this mistress thought Jiang Lianheng would compensate her, even kick Li Yuechi out. But unexpectedly, not only did she not receive any compensation, she was the one who was driven away!"
"In a fit of anger, the mistress decided to take revenge on Jiang Lianheng and bit him!"
"Afterwards, this mistress even called the police and turned herself in; she wanted to make the Jiang family lose face and dignity!"
"The Jiang family went to great lengths to suppress this matter, and Jiang Lianheng became a laughingstock in the industry as a result!"
As the fourth wife spoke, she shook her head. "Jiang Lianheng is a good-for-nothing. Of the Jiang family's branch, only his brother Jiang Liangan has any ability, but even he's in dire straits now, barely able to save himself!"
"Sister Ling, what do you think of this job?" Fatty Lin asked.
"It's alright, just take the job. Consider it extra cash. You can take any more of these kinds of jobs in the future. I'm spreading the word that you're the boss's personal physicians to increase your visibility and get you some freelance work!"
Fourth Aunt looked at us and said, "In this day and age, money in your own hands is what truly matters!"
"Sister Ling, I won't say thank you. Crazy and I are loyal friends. We'll be good to whoever is good to us. If you ever need anything, just let us know, and we'll definitely step up!" Fatty Lin immediately pledged his loyalty.
"Little Fatty, I understand your character and Thirteen's character!" Fourth Aunt patted Fatty Lin with some relief.
I secretly gave Fatty Lin a thumbs up. He knows how to talk; I wouldn't have been able to say those words myself.
Come to think of it, a large part of our current reputation in Hong Kong's entertainment circle is thanks to Angela Leong.
Although we embarrassed Brother Rong and offended Zeng Xiaowei and Sister Fei before, they would never publicize such things.
The three of us, or rather, Long Nier's fearsome reputation, only spread within a small circle.
This time is different. Can just anyone be the gambling king's personal physician?
In particular, Fourth Wife attributed most of the credit for the gambling king's recovery to my brother and me, saying that it was my acupuncture combined with Fatty Lin's prayers that brought the gambling king back from the brink of death.
The truth is that there are rumors circulating outside. After all, a hospital is not a home. That day, a lot of work was done to prolong the life of the gambling king. In order to keep the gambling king's vital signs stable, doctors and nurses had to work together.
Ordinary people don't know what's going on, but wealthy and powerful families do.
Even so, our reputation has spread. After all, how could we not have some ability to stand by the gambling king's side at this time?
It must be said that the fourth wife played this move very cleverly.
Come to think of it, how could someone who could stand by the gambling king's side be an ordinary person?
If you're not shrewd and ruthless, you'd have been killed and used as fertilizer long ago.
Three days later, at the Jiang family's old house halfway up the mountain.
Wang Sanmu started making arrangements in the morning and has been busy for half the day now.
He was busy, so we kept an eye on him to prevent him from doing anything underhanded.
The moment Wang Sanmu saw us this morning, his expression was priceless. If it weren't for the Jiang family members, he probably would have started cursing.
You should know that just the day before, Fatty Lin told him that the patriarch did not agree to us helping him.
The very next day, we not only arrived, but we also became his surveillance agents.
Wang Sanmu didn't come alone this time to set up the divination ritual for conceiving a child; he brought an apprentice with him.
The apprentice's surname is Zhou, and his name is Zhou Yong. He is said to be a wealthy businessman. After being impressed by Wang Sanmu, he has been following him around to learn skills for many years. He just came from Shenzhen yesterday.
The Jiang family should have been there for such an important event.
As a result, apart from Li Yuechi, no one accompanied her.
The old man of the Jiang family is ill and cannot accompany them.
Jiang Lianheng's elder brother, Jiang Liangan, was also unwell and was not present.
The younger sister, Jiang Lianxue, watched for a while before leaving with a gloomy face. Judging from her expression, she was not very satisfied with this fertility consultation.
Jiang Lianheng watched for a while, then started yawning repeatedly. Using the excuse of trusting his wife, he left Li Yuechi behind and slipped away.
As a result, in the end, only Li Yuechi, an outsider, accompanied them in the setup.
As we had agreed beforehand, Fatty Lin kept an eye on Wang Sanmu, while Long Nier and I kept an eye on Zhou Yong.
As I stared at it, I noticed something was off.
Just now, Zhou Yong patted Li Yuechi's butt.
Li Yuechi was not angry at this; instead, she gave him a flirtatious wink and playfully scolded him.
Although their interaction was very discreet, I still managed to see it.
If these two aren't having an affair, I'll write the character for "wind" backwards.
This discovery gave me the feeling of discovering a new continent.
Noticing my strange expression, Li Yuechi came over and whispered, "Master Feng, there are some things I had no choice but to do!"
