Chapter 50: Barely Tolerable

  Chapter 50: Getting Treatment Costs Money

  He'er was also a bit stunned... That is, if it were an ordinary person, even if they were skilled in martial arts, falling from the 15th floor would likely result in nothing but a crushed body.

  "No, I have to go see Lawrence." He'er said somewhat nervously.

  "Silly girl, you should worry about yourself instead. That monster's injury isn't serious, but you don't have many days left to live." Ye Bai reminded her with a seemingly kind tone.

  Ye Bai's words made He Er obviously stunned and surprised.

  "Mr. Ye, what do you mean?" Yu Man asked with a frown.

  "Boss's sister, I mean it's very clear that she's ill, if not treated in time, I'm afraid she'll die in two or three years at most." Ye Bai said with a nod.

  "Ah?" Yu Man was clearly surprised.

  "How did you know?" He'er looked at Ye Bai with a complex expression.

  "It's simple, I'm a divine doctor, of course I can see your illness." Ye Bai said matter-of-factly.

  "What's going on?" Yu Man interrupted and asked.

  "He...". He'er wanted to speak but stopped.

  Because of Ye Bai and Lawrence's fight just now, many employees of the Yu Group who were working on the 15th floor squeezed over.

  "Let's talk about it in my office."

  Yu Man led everyone up to the 16th floor via the stairs, and with her there, the bodyguards guarding the door of the 16th floor naturally wouldn't block them.

  "I've actually had a strange illness since I was young..."

  After everyone sat down, He Er began to tell the story.

  Originally, He Er was not a native of Tianjing City, but came from the capital. From her language, it can be judged that her family background is also good, but she has been suffering from a strange disease since childhood, and she is actually quite pitiful.

  From the age of five when he was diagnosed with a strange illness, until fifteen years old, for ten whole years, He Er's family had been trying to find a cure for that strange disease. Unfortunately, after traveling around the world and visiting countless famous doctors, He Er's condition continued to worsen without any sign of improvement.

  Gradually, He'er's family also gave up hope. Moreover, since He'er was approaching adulthood, her family thought she should happily follow her own heart and spend the remaining few years of her life as she pleased.

  Maybe because she spent more time at home, He Er watched a lot of TV dramas and movies, so all along she had a star dream like many girls in their teens.

  He Er's family was initially unwilling for her to enter the entertainment industry, but in order to make He Er happy, everyone did not stop her.

  That's why she didn't look for a job in the capital, and also because He Er didn't want to see her family frowning every day when they saw her, so she came to Tianjing City.

  Yu's family elder, Yu Changde, had been to Beijing for a while and got acquainted with He Er's grandfather during that period. So, the He and Yu families are considered to be old acquaintances. After He Er arrived in Tianjing City, she directly signed with the entertainment company under the Yu Group.

  With the strong support of her family, coupled with her innate star quality, she quickly rose to fame like a new star, rapidly becoming a household name.

  "Mr. Ye, you are a divine doctor, is there any way to treat He Er's illness?"

  After listening to He Er's story, Yu Man couldn't help but feel a sourness in the corner of her eyes, and she couldn't resist asking Ye Bai.

  "Of course there is a way." Ye Bai said without hesitation.

  Yu Man and He Er were both stunned at the same time, then Yu Man's face showed a look of extreme joy. She said: "Ye Shen Yi, you must save He Er, no matter how much money it takes!"

  "My rules, Boss Sister also knows." Ye Bai said calmly.

  "What's the rule?" He Er frowned and asked, in fact she didn't believe Ye Bai could cure her illness.

  "Hmm..." Yu Man hesitated for a moment, "Ye Shen's medical treatment has two conditions. First, the patient must give him all their family wealth. Second, they must find him a beautiful wife. As long as either of these conditions is met, he will lend a hand to save the person."

  "What?!" He'er was somewhat surprised, "Isn't this taking advantage of someone in a difficult situation?"

  "Suit yourself, anyway, this is my rule." Ye Bai said nonchalantly.

  "What if I were a penniless poor person?" He'er asked curiously.

  "There's no such thing as a penniless poor person. Even if all their family assets are just one dollar, I'd still make a move for it. But looking at you, Miss, you're definitely incredibly wealthy." Ye Bai said with a smack of his lips.

  Indeed, He Er is not a poor man, but extremely wealthy, and Yu Man is very clear about this.

  The He family in the capital is a well-known and respected aristocratic family, their family property is even more vast than that of the Yu family in Tianjing City.

  Coincidentally, in the direct line of He Er's family, there was only one young person of her generation, so theoretically speaking, He Er was the only heir to their family.

  However, at present, He Er's parents are still alive, so their family property is naturally not in her name.

  "Can you really cure my illness?" He'er couldn't help but ask again.

  "Uh-huh." Ye Bai nodded very calmly.

  "As long as you can cure my illness, I am willing to give you all of my property, and we can have the lawyer come over right now to draft an agreement."

  "Don't you want to reconsider? Making money isn't easy." Ye Bai looked a bit disappointed.

  "Don't worry about it!" He Er said bluntly again.

  He'er is not short of money, even if she abandons all her property, she will still not be short of money and remains a rich young lady.

  "Alright, fine." Ye Bai said somewhat gloomily, then added, "However, there's something that needs to be clarified beforehand. Your condition is quite special, when I treat your illness, almost every part of your body will be examined by me, and even touched."

  "Huh?"

  Yu Man and He Er stared at each other in shock... What kind of treatment method is this?

  These two beauties had the same guess in their minds: this guy might not be able to cure the strange disease on He Er's body at all, but just wanted to take advantage of it by pretending to treat the illness!

  Ye Bai didn't want to take advantage of He Er, and it was indeed necessary for him to say what he just said in order to cure He Er's illness. He Er's strange disease had spread throughout his entire body, so if they wanted to completely cure him, they would have to treat not only his internal organs but also his skin.

  "Ye Shen Yi, you should know what your treatment means to a girl," Yu Man reminded him.

  "Uh-huh, I know. Generally speaking, if someone has been checked out by me from head to toe and still looks pretty good, as long as they're not already married, they'll have to be my wife." Ye Bai nodded and said.

  This logic left Yu Man and He Er staring at each other in dismay.

  Ye Bai was very confident that he could cure He Er's strange illness, but He Er was now hesitating about whether or not to ask Ye Bai to come and treat his own illness.

  At this moment, all of He Er's property wouldn't make her feel the slightest heartache, just as the old saying goes: compared to one's life, everything else is unimportant.

  In the process of treatment, he had to be examined by Ye Bai all over his body and even touched all over his body, which made He Er a little unacceptable.

  Not to mention being a decent girl, even if she were any ordinary yellow flower maiden, she probably wouldn't be willing to let a completely unfamiliar man see or touch her entire body so easily, even if the man was only trying to treat her illness.

  As an unmarried girl herself, Yu Man could understand He Er's hesitation. If she were in her shoes, she would also be very hesitant.

  On one hand is one's own life, on the other hand is a matter of one's own chastity, it's really hard to make a choice.

  Moreover, He'er couldn't be certain whether Ye Bai could really cure her strange illness. If the illness wasn't cured, she would have been taken advantage of to such a great extent...

  "I need to think about it first." He'er still hadn't made a decision.

  "Hmm, you can consider it, but I have to remind you that the earlier your illness is treated, the better for you. If you drag it on for too long, not even a god descending from heaven could save you." Ye Bai nodded and added another sentence.

  Then, Yu Man started to get busy, she had Ye Bai sent out of the Yu Group building and arranged for someone to drive him home.

  "Man sister, is he really a divine doctor?"

  When Yu Man returned, He Er couldn't help but ask.

  "Whether he is a real divine doctor or not, I don't know.But what I do know is that he's definitely not an ordinary person, and you also felt the aura he emitted in the elevator just now."

  Yu Man thought for a moment and then said, "In the past, he also helped my brother Yu Bin. My brother was hospitalized for several days and we invited many famous experts and professors from all over the country, but they were all helpless. However, Ye Bai easily cured my brother."

  He'er fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Right, I remember that Grandfather Yu's illness was also severe. Why didn't you ask this divine doctor to save Grandfather Yu?"

  Yu Man smiled bitterly and said, "I was just about to talk to you about this matter. Ye Shen Yi indeed said that he could save my grandfather, but his condition is not easy to fulfill. My grandfather's family property is the entire Yu Group, and he would never be willing to hand it over, even if it meant giving up his life."

  "Then let's find this divine doctor a wife." He Er replied.

  "Hmm, I was planning to find him a wife, but this isn't easy either. He requires that the woman must be someone he finds pleasing to his eyes in order to marry her, and his standards are very high and picky, not only must she look extremely good, but also have a great figure."

  Yu Man said gloomily, "This time I invited him over was to let him take a look at the stars our company signed, and have him pick one out. Who would have thought that he didn't fancy anyone else, but instead took a liking to you."

  "No wonder he said those strange words to me." He'er nodded in understanding, then said, "I'll see if he can cure Grandpa's illness. If he can cure Grandpa's illness, I'll let him treat me too."

  "Even so, he still needs to find a wife that he can accept first." Yu Man said helplessly.

  Arriving at the entrance of Tianfu Mingyuan, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. Ye Bai did not go back directly, but instead went to Tang Lulu's home which was not far away.

  On such a hot day, Tang Lulu, who usually didn't like to go out and wander around, was naturally at home. When Ye Bai arrived, she was reading a book in her own room. After hearing the sound of Ye Bai greeting her mother, she immediately ran out of her room.

  Looking at Tang Lulu's tender face with a clear and happy smile, Ye Bai also felt much more at ease. He could see that Tang Lulu had already walked out of the shadow of being kidnapped, after all, that kidnapping only scared her and did not bring her any substantial harm.

  "Yè Bái gēgē, you haven't studied for several days, be careful or you'll fall behind."

  After sitting down in the living room, Tang Lulu smiled and said to Ye Bai.

  "Don't worry, I'll only move forward and never take a step back." Ye Bai pinched Tang Lulu's adorable nose and said with a smirk.

  "Let me come up with a question and test you." Tang Lulu immediately ran back to her own room, took out paper and pen.

  Ye Bai also became serious afterwards.

  Mr. and Mrs. Tang saw those somewhat intimate movements between Ye Bai and Tang Lulu, and their hearts were even more complicated. The couple could see that their daughter was very fond of Ye Bai, and they could also see that Ye Bai liked their daughter too. Moreover, they could see that Ye Bai was not a simple person.

  The more they saw, the more anxious this middle-aged couple became.

  It wasn't until dusk that Ye Bai left Tang Lulu's house. Although they hadn't seen each other for a few days, Tang Lulu was clearly reluctant to part with Ye Bai. However, since Tang's parents were going out, it was impossible for Ye Bai to stay at home alone with Tang Lulu.

  These days, young people are easily impulsive, especially when a young man and woman with some subtle feelings are alone in a room.

  When Ye Bai and Tang Gui's couple arrived at the entrance of the alley, they saw Hao Shuai again.

  Hao Shuai was working here, so he naturally came early. When he saw Ye Bai, he immediately ran over with a flattering smile and greeted him: "Brother Bai, you're also here."

  "Don't be so familiar, I'm not close with you." Ye Bai looked at Hao Shuai with a bored expression and said somewhat impolitely.

  "Xiao Hao, come and help."

  Tang Gui, who was paying the bill, shouted loudly.

  "Work hard here and be diligent. If you perform well, I can consider taking you as a younger brother."

  Ye Bai patted Hao Shuai's shoulder and then headed towards Tianfu Mingyuan.

  Hao Shuai was stunned at first, then he had a look of being pleasantly surprised, and he couldn't help but let out a cheer.

  In less than ten minutes, Ye Bai arrived at the gate of Villa No. 29, but what made him a little unexpected was that there were guests at home again today, and there were three people.

  The three were an elderly couple and a slightly stout man of short stature.

  The old couple looked like honest people. As soon as Ye Bai entered the door, they stood up very unnaturally and smiled at Ye Bai.

  As for the man, he simply glanced at Ye Bai with a calm expression, without any change in his emotions.

  Ye Bai also smiled at the old couple, then naturally squeezed in between Song Xi and Yao Yuxin.

  "These two are Song teacher's parents."

  Long Hao Ran began introducing, when his hand pointed at the man, his face turned strange, a moment later he continued: "This is... Teacher Song's..."

  "My name is Shu Qiu, I am Teacher Song's fiancé."

  Before Long Hao Ran finished speaking, the man wearing a black suit and white shirt took the lead to introduce himself.

  Ye Bai's face, which had still been wearing a faint smile, instantly lost all trace of it.

  "Shu Xiu, you're not my fiancé!" Song Xi immediately denied.

  "Hehe, we actually had an engagement, and Uncle Song and Aunt Yuan both acknowledged our engagement." Shi Qiu said with a smile that didn't change the color of his face.

  "But I don't recognize that engagement."

  Song Xi's attitude was very firm, and she looked obviously angry. She continued: "Our family owes your family money, I will pay it back as soon as possible. As for you and me, that is absolutely impossible!"

  "Xiao Xi." The old woman finally spoke up, her face filled with difficulty. "Over the years, our family has received a lot of care from the Shi Qiu family, including your tuition fees and your father's medical expenses for all these years, which were all paid by the Shi Qiu family. We can't just forget their kindness."

  "We borrowed money from your family, I will not deny the debt and can even repay double, but I will never marry Shi Qiu just to repay the Shi family." Song Xi's attitude was still very resolute.

  "Pay back? Double pay back?" Shi Qiu sneered, "Do you know how much your family owes mine in total?"

  "How much?" Song Xi frowned and asked.

  To be honest, Song Xi didn't know much about her family's situation over the years. After all, she had been studying abroad and then started working after graduation, rarely returning home. Every time she called back in the past, her parents would say that everything was fine at home and told her not to worry.

  "Almost three hundred thousand." Shi Qiu's face returned to its usual calm state, but the originally pretentious expression now looked out of place on his face, which was covered in wine stains, and no matter how you looked at it, it would evoke a sense of disgust.

  In Shi Qiu's view, 300,000 yuan wasn't a staggering figure, but he knew that for Song Xi and his family, this sum of money was by no means small.
