Chapter 6676
Suddenly I'm Interested
The girl's eyes were full of pleading, a desire for life and attachment to family affection, which made Xiao Chen feel a trace of pity.
In the narrow and deep alley, the atmosphere was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring.
The short-haired girl next to her had an anxious look on her face. She grabbed the corner of her friend Liu Yulian's clothes tightly. There were a few snow-white catkins on the ends of her hair, which swayed gently with her movements, as if telling of her panic at the moment.
“Lianlian!” She said anxiously, with a hint of dissuasion, “The Swiss medical team will be here tomorrow morning! Look at him, he doesn’t even have a white coat, what real skills can he have!”
As she spoke, she cautiously took out her cell phone and took a series of photos of Xiao Chen.
The cold light from the phone screen reflected in her eyes, which were full of vigilance and suspicion, as if Xiao Chen was an unknown person who was hiding a huge danger.
The girl called Lianlian, that is, Liu Yulian, bit her lower lip tightly. The baseball cap that was originally worn well now slipped to her eyebrows, revealing her smooth forehead, which was shining faintly in the weak light.
There were tiny drops of water on her eyelashes, and I didn't know if they were the mist that came from her rushing here just now, or the tears that were anxiously flowing from her heart at this moment.
"Doctor Huang said that my father won't survive until midnight tonight." Liu Yulian's voice was tearful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of her heart.
She slowly turned her head to look at Xiao Chen, her eyes filled with a complex mixture of despair and expectation, "I believe what Uncle Ma said, please, save my dad."
That voice, like the last cry of a drowning person, was filled with a desire for life.
Xiao Chen stood there, frowning slightly, pulling at his wrinkled cuffs, with a look of helplessness and dissatisfaction on his face: "The Ma family is really a bunch of people who don't keep their mouths shut, talking nonsense everywhere. Sorry, I'm not a doctor. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
After that, he turned around and left.
However, how could Liu Yulian easily give up this last hope.
She suddenly seemed to burst out with all her strength, tightly grasped Xiao Chen's hand and ran out of the alley.
Her ponytail flew in the air as she ran, sweeping across the back of Xiao Chen's hand, carrying a faint scent of jasmine. The scent was fresh and elegant, but at this moment it was filled with a sense of determination.
"Don't worry, as long as you cure my father, you can choose any treasure in our family!" Liu Yulian said anxiously while running, her voice a little broken in the wind.
The hem of her skirt was lifted by the wind, revealing the light blue veins on her calves, like winding streams, faintly visible under her fair skin, a vivid portrayal of her inner anxiety and panic at the moment.
Xiao Chen suddenly stopped, his feet seemed to have taken root, standing firmly in place.
In fact, with his skills, if he didn't want to, there was no way Liu Yulian could pull him away.
He looked at the anxious and determined girl in front of him, with a hint of imperceptible thought in his eyes, and asked calmly: "Liu family? Is it the Liu family who deals in antiques in the ancient city?"
"Yes, that's it!" Liu Yulian nodded hurriedly, a glimmer of hope in her eyes, as if as long as Xiao Chen knew the name of the Liu family, he would be willing to help.
She stared at Xiao Chen closely, her eyes full of expectation, as if Xiao Chen was the last ray of light in her father's life.
Xiao Chen stood there, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.
He had heard a lot of rumors about the Liu family, and had already made up his mind to go and see them. The Liu family was well-known in the ancient city, and the family had countless treasures, including rare treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Maybe one of them could help him practice.
After all, the speed of practicing in this secular world is really too slow.
The path of cultivation is already full of difficulties. If one does not rely on external things and only relies on one's own hard work, it is impossible to make a major breakthrough. It is like groping forward in the dark without any guidance, and the progress is so slow that it makes people anxious.
The treasures of the Liu family may be the guiding lights on his path of cultivation, illuminating the way forward for him.
"Okay, I'll go with you." After a brief thought, Xiao Chen nodded, with a hint of certainty in his tone.
When the short-haired girl next to her heard this, her eyes widened immediately, her eyes full of suspicion and disdain.
She secretly thought that Xiao Chen was a liar. As soon as he heard that the Liu family was rich, he rushed over. He looked reluctant just now, but now he agreed readily.
In her opinion, Xiao Chen's series of actions were just to defraud the Liu family of their money.
However, Xiao Chen didn't bother to care about her opinion. In his heart, as long as Liu Yulian was willing to believe him and take him to the Liu family, that would be enough.
To him, other people's views and comments are nothing but passing clouds and cannot influence his decision at all.
At this time, a black Mercedes-Benz G-Class drove slowly over. Its headlights were particularly dazzling in the twilight, like a sharp sword, instantly piercing through the somewhat dim street.
Under the illumination of neon lights, the car body glows with a cold and hard light, like a ferocious beast ready to attack, exuding a noble and mysterious aura.
The driver looked at Xiao Chen in the rearview mirror with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
The diamond on his tie clip sparkled under the light, and the dazzling light seemed to be a symbol of his status. "Miss, going home?" the driver asked respectfully, his voice steady and low.
"Yeah." Liu Yulian responded weakly, and her whole body slumped in the back seat, as if all her strength had been drained away.
She slowly took off her baseball cap, and her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, like a piece of black silk, exuding a soft and charming aura.
Then she took out a black card from her bag and tapped it gently on the leather seat.
The card still had her body temperature, and it shone with a mysterious and attractive luster under the light. "40,000 yuan deposit, pretending to be a miracle doctor. Just say you need to take your father to the mountains for rest, and then pay another 20,000 yuan after the matter is completed." Liu Yulian's voice was a little hoarse, with a hint of helplessness and determination.
When the short-haired girl heard this, she suddenly screamed, her voice so sharp that it seemed to pierce the night sky. "Are you crazy? You are deceiving your aunt!" Her nails dug deep into Liu Yulian's arm, her eyes full of fear and anger, "Uncle's illness can't be concealed at all. If you do this, it will be discovered sooner or later!"
Liu Yulian seemed not to hear her words and just stared blankly at the sycamore tree rapidly retreating outside the car window.
The shadows of the sycamore trees kept flashing across the car window, just like her confused and painful thoughts at the moment.
Her eyes were red and tears were welling up in them, but they never fell.
"Mom just had a heart bypass surgery last month. If she knew that Dad..." Liu Yulian's voice choked, as if something was blocking her throat. "I can't let her lose the whole world overnight." (End of this chapter)
