"Jing Zhixin! You better believe me when I say I will slap you!" Huo Mian stared at this brother of hers in disbelief . How could he possibly think that she was having an affair?
"Hahaha, I'm kidding! Calm down!"
"Forget it . You're still a kid, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you . " As she spoke, Huo Mian sat down carefully on the sofa .
Her mother walked out of the kitchen just in time with a bowl of soup in her hands .
"Mom, we both went for a check-up . We're both fine, so you don't have to worry about us anymore," Huo Mian held onto the bowl and said .
"You guys went today?" Yang Meirong asked happily .
Huo Mian nodded and said, "Yeah, my body is a little cold . The doctor said I will get better once I start taking some Chinese medicine . "
"Chinese medicine? That's easy, your Auntie Wu and I used to go visit a traditional Chinese doctor all the time . All three generations of that family are traditional Chinese doctors, so they are very good at their craft . The oldest doctor is eighty years old, he's very good at feeling pulses . Rumor has it that he can determine the gender of the baby as early as two months just by feeling a pregnant lady's pulse . "
"Mom, it's the twenty-first century, I can't believe you still believe this . " Huo Mian couldn't help but chuckle .
"No, it's real! I've been there before! They cured your Auntie Wu's myocardial ischemia . Don't worry, I'll get some Chinese medicine for you . "
"Mom, I'm a doctor too . Pathogenic cold in the body can be fixed easily with brown sugar and lotus seed . It's called food therapy . I don't want to take Chinese medicine, they taste terrible . "
"Chinese medicine tastes bad, but it works! So, it's been decided!"
Before Huo Mian had the chance to say anything, her mother already made the decision for her .
Qin Chu drove his car directly to Seductive Fox . . .
He was planning to go and find Rick after eating with Huo Mian . But his wife's decision of going forward with the fallopian tube flushing had really angered him . It was, after all, a very painful procedure .
Seeing Huo Mian weak and feeble had brought on pain so thin and sharp that it found its way deep into his heart and vibrated there like a tuning-fork made of clear ice . He didn't want to watch her in pain a second longer, so, he came directly to find Rick to talk about the case they've been investigating .
Tang Chuan and Su Yu were on their way to Seductive Fox for a drink and were chuckling along merrily until they saw Qin Chu park his Maybach outside the building .
Ever since Wei Liao and Jiang Xiaowei got married, Jiang Xiaowei had successfully whipped Wei Liao under her belt . He rarely ever went out with his buddies anymore .
So did Su Yu . However, today was the exception, since Tang Chuan had just come back from traveling abroad .
"Huh, that looks like Qin Chu's car . "
Su Yu glanced over at the Maybach with no reaction . . .
"So he likes places like this too, ha, and here I am thinking he is some kind upright gentleman . I am telling on him next time I see Huo Mian . I'm going to tell her that her husband comes to places like this behind her back!"
"Qin Chu and the owner of Seductive Fox are friends . You don't need to worry about it, they're probably here to talk business . " Su Yu made sure he explained clearly .
"Bullshit! What kind of business can you talk about in a place like this? They're definitely drinking it up," Tang Chuan chuckled as he and Su Yu's groupies walked into a VIP room on the top floor .
On the other end of the building, in another VIP room, Rick and Qin Chu sat together, quietly sipping on tea .
Despite being French-Chinese, after all these years, Rick had become very accustomed to the Chinese culture .
He liked eating Chinese cuisine and drinking Chinese tea . Not only that, he spoke Chinese well and could understand many of the proverbs, idiocies, and phrases .
"Rick, you should . . . stop digging . "
"What happened?" Rick stared back at Qin Chu .
"I will investigate things myself, it's too dangerous for your people to continue . . . "
"Isn't it more dangerous for you to do it alone?" Rick questioned .
