Yan Wushuang's eyes were filled with a lingering grievance.
She almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Were those words too direct?
Was he not afraid that the other party would not be able to take it?
Alright!
If he had truly considered my feelings... I might not be so infatuated with him.
------
Chen Nan was not a strictly straightforward man.
Because he couldn't have Yan Wushuang stay by his side all the time.
They say beautiful women are the source of trouble.
If she really stayed with him.
It would definitely affect his cultivation, and even his Dao heart!
So, if she wanted to go to Kyoto, what was the harm in letting her go?
The next day.
Chen Nan returned to the medical clinic.
Since he had not seen patients yesterday, he needed to treat forty people today.
After treating the patients.
Chen Nan began refining medicine.
He had already gathered all the medicinal materials needed to refine the Qi Ling Pill.
However.
He did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
The Millennium Dragon Saliva Incense was sufficient.
But he only had one Hundred Year Epiphyllum, with about ten petals.
If he failed, there would be no way to refine the Qi Ling Pill.
Therefore.
He had to succeed on his first attempt.
Although the process was arduous.
He eventually refined the Qi Ling Pill.
The small yellow pill looked like agate and jade, emitting a refreshing medicinal fragrance.
After the pill was refined, Chen Nan carefully put it away and returned to the former residence of the steel factory workers.
Just then.
A black Rolls-Royce with a provincial license plate drove out from the opposite direction.
Chen Nan was no stranger to luxury cars.
However, it was still very surprising to see such a luxury car in the old steel factory workers' residence.
"I haven't heard of anyone here having such wealthy relatives!"
Chen Nan muttered to himself and then entered his home.
The atmosphere at home was somewhat oppressive.
His mother sat on the sofa, looking dejected.
His father was saying something to her.
It looked like the couple had had a quarrel.
Seeing this, Chen Nan quickly took out the Qilin Fruit: "Mom, a friend gave me an unknown fruit. I thought it looked good, so I kept it. Try it!"
Jia Cui's hands and feet were always slightly cold throughout the year. This Qilin Fruit would completely improve her physique.
Jia Cui couldn't help but ask, "Can this thing be eaten?"
Chen Nan smiled and said, "It should taste good!"
Jia Cui took a bite with a "try it and see" attitude.
The next moment, her eyes shone brightly.
It was sweet to the taste and left a lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth.
It was definitely the best fruit she had ever eaten in her life.
However.
After taking it, Jia Cui felt a little sleepy and went back to her room to rest.
Chen Nan looked at his father: "Dad, Mom just took a spiritual fruit, which is very beneficial to her health. She might have a high fever later, but that's normal, so don't worry."
Chen Shan asked curiously, "Spiritual fruit?"
Chen Nan nodded: "It's a fruit that is beneficial to the body, it can make people transform and even prolong life."
"Are there really such fruits?" Chen Shan was greatly surprised.
"Yes, but they are very rare." Changing the subject, Chen Nan asked cautiously, "Dad, did you and Mom have a fight?"
Upon hearing this.
Chen Shan sneered: "A fight?"
"Heh!"
"Do I dare to argue with her?"
Chen Nan said, "Then why does Mom look so dejected?"
Chen Shan sighed: "Her ex-husband came over."
"Ah ha?" Chen Nan was confused: "Mom's ex-husband is still alive? I thought he was dead. What did he come for?"
Jia Cui had been in this family for nearly twenty years.
Chen Nan had never heard her mention her ex-husband before.
His sudden appearance this time gave Chen Nan an ominous feeling.
Chen Shan lit a cigarette and said dejectedly, "He wants to remarry your mother and take them to live in the provincial capital."
"That Rolls-Royce from before was the car of the second and third brother's biological father?" Chen Nan thought of the car he had encountered earlier.
Chen Shan nodded: "His name is Luo Guangyao, and he is said to be from a prominent family in the provincial capital, with assets of over ten billion!"
Hiss!
Chen Nan gasped: "This, this, this is too exaggerated, isn't it? That's not right. If that surnamed Luo is so rich, why did Mom leave empty-handed back then?"
Chen Shan shrugged: "Who knows?"
"Then what's Mom's attitude?" Chen Nan asked cautiously.
"A joke, would your mother go with that man to the provincial capital? You underestimate your father's charm too much!" Chen Shan sneered: "She scolded that surnamed Luo and said she wouldn't go to the provincial capital with him."
Chen Nan glanced in the direction of the bedroom and said, "Whether Mom goes to the provincial capital with Luo Guangyao is not important. What's important is that you already have a sense of crisis."
"No!"
"To be precise, a sense of inferiority!"
"Because you have unconsciously compared yourself to Luo Guangyao."
"And found that... you are not as good as him in any aspect!"
"Especially since Mom chose to stay in Jizhou and live with you."
"Even if you are overjoyed, this happiness will make you feel anxious and uneasy!"
Chen Shan did not deny his son's words. He rubbed his head with some helplessness: "Then what should Dad do? How can I hold my head high in front of your mother?"
Chen Nan gave a wry smile: "Dad, Mom doesn't care about your abilities. She won't leave you. She didn't before, and she won't in the future."
"But I can't get over this psychological hurdle!" Chen Shan knew his wife wouldn't leave him, but he just didn't want to be looked down upon.
Especially by his wife's ex-husband, Luo Guangyao.
Chen Nan said, "If you really want to defeat that man, it's not impossible! But you need to change yourself and become more excellent as much as possible!"
Chen Shan asked curiously, "For example?"
Chen Nan asked, "What does the Luo family do?"
Chen Shan thought for a moment and said, "They mainly run restaurants, followed by logistics!"
Chen Nan nodded slightly and said, "Are you interested in starting a catering company and confronting the Luo family head-on?"
Chen Shan gave him a direct eye-roll and said grumpily, "My ability is limited to running a barbecue stall. You want me to run a catering company? Are you kidding me?"
"Besides, do you know how much money it takes to start a catering company?"
"Do you have that much money?"
Chen Nan shook his head helplessly: "Dad, don't take it badly if I speak frankly."
"If you don't even have the courage to confront Luo Guangyao head-on, how can you hold your head high in front of Mom?"
"Have you ever thought about it?"
"The reason Mom is dejected."
"Is it not because Luo Guangyao showed up?"
"But because when he came, you didn't step forward like a man to protect her?"
A few simple words made Chen Shan's skin crawl.
He wasn't angry at his son's words, but he understood why his wife was so upset!
Yes!
When that man came, I didn't protect her. She must be very disappointed in me, right?
Chen Nan patted his father's shoulder and said earnestly, "Dad, although you didn't make me a second-generation rich, I can make you a first-generation rich!"
