Chapter 590 Watching the Children Leave

Chapter 594 My Girlfriend Qu Huanhuan

Gou Zhengde patted his son's shoulder as he watched his son's indignant demeanor.

"Han'er, we can still compete within our circle, but once it involves those above, don't even think about it."

"But they're too overbearing, even the people following them are overbearing. Min Hang monopolizes the herbal medicine market, Ye Shengyao monopolizes the pharmaceutical factories, and now even Elder Fan is openly snatching people. I only introduced the senior disciple to him because I wanted to integrate into their circle, but if we send the senior disciple away now, our family will lose all face."

"Even so, we can only endure it. Who made us nothing in the face of absolute power?"

"If only I could cure Ye Shengyao's illness, she would definitely remember this kindness for a lifetime."

After hanging up the phone, Zi Yisheng called Min Hang. There were some things he didn't want to escalate.

"What do you think of the Gou family?"

"Heh, they're just a bunch of clowns with a little bit of ability. What's wrong, do you want to deal with them?"

"It's yours to handle."

"Alright, it's a good opportunity for me to improve my status in the traditional Chinese medicine world."

"Get lost. What status do you have? You're just a herbal medicine dealer."

"Hey, don't underestimate me. I'm a postgraduate with a medical degree."

"You're a half-baked Western medicine practitioner, and your degree was bought. In foreign countries, you just spent your time chasing girls."

Min Hang quickly covered the receiver, peeking at the silly girl watching TV.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Tiantian is here."

"I'm telling the truth. Even though you're behaving now, it doesn't hide your unsavory past."

"Get lost, you scoundrel. I'm cultivating myself now to atone for my past recklessness, alright?"

"Anyway, I don't have these troubles."

"Scram."

That evening, Ye Shengyao underwent her first experimental treatment under the accompaniment of her husband. Xi Rusheng's acupuncture technique was even more fluid and peculiar than Elder Fan's. While others worked from front to back, he deliberately took a different approach.

Zi Yisheng was a little nervous. After all, ever since he knew his wife, Elder Fan had been the one administering the acupuncture. Now, a person only a few years older than him was taking over, and he felt uneasy.

"How do you feel?"

"A bit painful."

"Pain is good. Pain means blockage. The principle remains the same."

Then, Elder Fan and Xi Rusheng formally began their research. Ye Shengyao actually fell asleep listening.

"Is Shengyao sleeping too much these days?"

Elder Fan glanced at his watch. It was only eight o'clock.

"Yes, the girl was severely injured last time."

"It's alright, she'll get better slowly."

Xi Rusheng, however, was unconcerned. In his eyes, these were minor issues. The real problem was when she could live life to the fullest.

At this moment, Asen knocked on the door. Zi Yisheng knew that Asen wouldn't disturb him at this hour unless it was important.

"Young Master Zi, Madam Ye called. She seems to be drunk."

"Okay, I'll go pick her up."

Zi Yisheng felt a little sorry for his father-in-law. Not only was his wife away from home every day, but he also had to attend numerous banquets, facing all sorts of successful men. He wondered if he could sleep alone at night.

"Hello, Mom, are you okay?"

"I'm doing great! Where are my darlings? Let them take the phone."

Zi Yisheng suddenly remembered the children. These were ancestors that were not easy to fool.

"The children went to the night market. Shengyao is undergoing acupuncture."

"Oh? Is Shengyao unwell again?"

"Elder Fan has found a successor and they are now researching a new plan together."

"My goodness, can you speak without taking such long breaths?"

I didn't take long breaths, I didn't even dare to breathe.

"Yes, yes, I'll be careful next time."

"Shengyao missed me today, and I've been busy until now. Tell her I'm fine, and definitely don't mention that I've been drinking."

If his wife hadn't been undergoing acupuncture, wouldn't she be walking into a trap by calling?

"By the way, is Mu En's little girlfriend doing well?"

"She should be doing very well. Big brother accompanies her to the stall every day."

"Hehehe, my son has grown up. He knows how to care for his wife. That's great!"

Zi Yisheng held the phone to his ear, his head aching. His mother-in-law, when drunk, was truly difficult to deal with. He looked at the time; it had been over an hour, but he didn't dare to hang up.

Ye Mu'en, who had been mentioned, stood far away watching Qu Huanhuan's stall again. He had promised himself not to come back, but his legs felt like they had a mind of their own. He lit a cigarette and leaned against the utility pole, wondering what he was holding on for.

"Little Qu, why hasn't your handsome boyfriend come by these past few days?"

"He's not my boyfriend. He's just a very good friend of mine."

Qu Huanhuan smiled, but a hint of disappointment flickered in her heart. She quickly shook her head, chasing away that little bit of sadness. He was a young master, how could he come to help her every day? She was self-aware.

"What's wrong? Business isn't good today?"

"Why are you here?"

Qu Huanhuan was surprised, but also very happy. This person was truly elusive.

"Can't I come?"

Ye Mu'en smiled, picked up another apron from the cart. He was already holding it for himself, yet she still played hard to get. He put on the apron and started working, his proficiency no less than that of the actual boss.

"Are you not busy with work today?"

"Not busy. I came specifically to help you."

Qu Huanhuan's smile was almost irrepressible. Ye Mu'en saw it and grinned too. What was the point of excuses? The most important thing was that they were happy together. Even if there were little demons in the future, they could be suppressed by force.

"Accompany me for a walk after we close up."

"Where should we go? There's not much out on the streets."

"First, tell me if you're willing."

Qu Huanhuan rolled her eyes at Ye Mu'en. His words always lacked softness.

"Willing. Young Master Ye's rare invitation, I must give face."

"Can I consider this as you complaining about me?"

"You can think whatever you want. Hurry up and get to work."

In fact, after interacting for some time, the way they treated each other had changed a lot. It was just that one hadn't noticed, and the other hadn't had the time to notice.

They closed up early that night. Qu Huanhuan even changed her clothes before leaving with him.

"Hmph, just another cheap tramp running off with a man in the middle of the night."

Who was Ye Mu'en? His hearing had been specially trained. He took a detour and rushed in, bypassing the old woman and directly entering the room behind her.

"Oh my God, why are you hitting me?"

"Because your mother has a foul mouth!"

"Good heavens, help! Someone's hitting me!"

Qu Huanhuan was stunned for a moment, then rushed in. She still bypassed the old woman who was shouting, and while Ye Mu'en hit the man, she hit the woman. Although she didn't know why, she joined in the fight.

Before long, everyone in the old woman's house, except for the elders and children, had been beaten. The room was also trashed beyond recognition.

"Someone will come to help you move tomorrow. Also, my girlfriend, Qu Huanhuan, who is about to be my wife, what business is it of yours if she's out at night?"

After speaking, he grabbed the stunned person beside him and left, his large hand tightly holding the somewhat rough small hand, unwilling to let go.

They walked and walked without speaking. No one's heart was calm.
