Song Anran stared at Chen Xiao, her eyes wide.

She neither admitted nor denied it.

Chen Xiao continued, "You seem to know quite a bit about the five great families of the Imperial City. I imagine your family background is extraordinary as well."

Song Anran still didn't speak, but frowned slightly.

Chen Xiao stroked his chin, as if deep in thought.

"Born into a prestigious family in the Imperial City, and a graduate of a world-class university... Director Song, why did you come to Jiang City, this godforsaken little place?"

Chen Xiao's words finally triggered Song Anran's anger.

She rolled her eyes. "None of your business!"

With that, she stood up and walked out, looking furious.

Chen Xiao was bewildered. What was up with this woman? Why did she get so worked up?

"Director Song, don't go! I'll teach you traditional Chinese medicine!"

"I'm not learning it!"

Song Anran slammed the door shut.

Chen Xiao smiled, not taking it to heart.

After all, everyone has secrets they want to keep.

Just then, Chen Xiao's phone rang. He opened it and saw a transfer record.

Ten million!

The money was transferred by Li Ziqing.

A smile appeared on Chen Xiao's lips.

Li Ziqing's money was really easy to earn!

He accepted her money, so he would resolve her misfortune.

Although Song Anran had called her a pit viper, this not only didn't scare Chen Xiao, but also aroused his greater interest in this pit viper.

He glanced at his phone; it was already off-work hours.

Chen Xiao prepared himself and went to Li Ziqing's ward.

"I don't care what grudges you had with anyone before, and I don't care who wants your life. But I've taken your money, and I'll guarantee your safety during this time."

"No matter who the opponent is, they won't even think about harming you."

In front of the hospital bed, Chen Xiao spoke in a calm tone.

But it was full of dominance.

Li Ziqing's eyes lit up, nodding repeatedly.

She felt that this ten million was the most worthwhile money she had ever spent in her life.

"Keep this *Gan Ling* Talisman safe and carry it on your body. If you encounter danger, I will arrive as soon as possible."

Chen Xiao took out a talisman folded into a triangle.

This talisman was something he had just hurriedly made.

If it were a magical artifact made of jade, the effect would be better.

However, he didn't have any jade on hand, and this yellow paper talisman should last for a month without any problems.

Li Ziqing took the talisman without questioning Chen Xiao at all.

She immediately strung it on a red rope and hung it around her neck.

At this time, Chen Xiao said again, "Pack up your things and come home with me."

Li Ziqing was stunned for a moment, then her face turned rosy, and she bit her lip shyly.

"Chen Xiao, aren't you being too hasty? I'm not ready yet!"

"Besides... the fortune teller said I have a Heavenly Star of Solitude, and I can't be with a man..."

Chen Xiao:

"..."

"What are you thinking? The reason I'm having you come home with me is just to protect you!"

Li Ziqing then realized she had misunderstood, and her small face became even redder.

"Wait for me, I'll pack my things right away!"

Chen Xiao couldn't help but complain:

"Still a Heavenly Star of Solitude? Is this the same trick you use with other men?"

Li Ziqing looked up at Chen Xiao, her eyes filled with melancholy.

"I'm telling the truth. When I was born, a master from beyond the world declared that I was a Heavenly Star of Solitude."

"I can't have intimate relations with a man in this life, otherwise, the man will die miserably."

"So, I'm still a virgin..."

Chen Xiao was taken aback. Did Li Ziqing mean that she was still a virgin?

He frowned slightly and said, "Let me take a look at you."

Immediately, Chen Xiao touched Li Ziqing's wrist.

It was smooth to the touch, soft as if boneless.

After a moment, Chen Xiao sneered.

"Bullshit Heavenly Star of Solitude. Someone planted a Gu in your body. Who is that master from beyond the world? Could it be that he has a feud with your family?"

"Forget it, you don't need to tell me. I don't want to get involved in your family's affairs."

Li Ziqing looked terrified.

"Are you saying that I've been implanted with a Gu in my body?"

"Can you help me get it out?"

Chen Xiao said calmly, "Of course, I can!"

Li Ziqing's beautiful eyes lit up. Before she could be happy, she heard Chen Xiao spit out a few more words.

"Twenty million!"

Li Ziqing pouted her cherry lips. "I treat you like a savior, but are you taking me for a fool?"

Although she was quite good at making money, Chen Xiao was asking for tens of millions at every turn. Even a big internet celebrity like her couldn't handle it!

Chen Xiao's lips curled up slightly, and he smiled.

"I'm just teasing you. Removing a small Gu worm is just a matter of lifting a hand."

"When I'm in a good mood one day, I'll help you take it out. Anyway, as long as you don't sleep with a man, its existence won't have any impact on you."

Li Ziqing: "..."

She felt that what he said made sense, but why did it feel a little off?

...

At the same time, at Chen Xiao's home, some uninvited guests arrived.

Sun Li's family knocked on the door of Chen Xiao's house.

The family of four, in addition to Sun's father and Sun's mother, also included Sun Li's younger brother, Sun Hu.

Liu Zhen opened the door and was a little surprised to see this family, but she still greeted them with a smile.

"Please come in, everyone. You're rare guests!"

Sun Li's family entered the door, but they were not polite at all, sitting on the sofa like big bosses.

Liu Zhen was busy bringing out fruits and snacks, serving tea and water.

Sun's mother glanced coldly at the bare walls in front of her and immediately rolled her eyes.

"This family is too poor!"

Sun Li whispered a reminder, "Mom, pay attention to what you say. Don't forget what we're here for today. Besides, Chen Xiao is a formal doctor now, and he'll definitely have money in the future."

Sun Hu grinned and laughed. "That's right, a red envelope is worth several thousand yuan. Sister, you must seize this opportunity!"

Sun Li looked radiant. "Don't worry, I'm confident in dealing with this old lady. Chen Xiao listens to his mother the most, so this matter will definitely be successful!"

At this time, Liu Zhen walked over with tea.

Sun Li immediately greeted her with a fake smile.

"Mom, let me do it. You sit down and rest for a while."

Liu Zhen was stunned.

Mom?

Hadn't Sun Li broken up with Chen Xiao a long time ago?

"Xiao Li, you've come from afar today. There must be something you want to talk about, right?"

At this time, Sun's father said in a deep voice, "Well, in-law, look at how old the two children are. We're here today to meet with you, discuss things, and settle the marriage today."

Liu Zhen looked bewildered. What was going on?

Moreover, this attitude didn't seem like a discussion at all. It was more like a notification, wasn't it?

Sun's mother said in a strange tone, "Your family is a little poor, but that young man Chen Xiao is quite motivated. Our Sun Li will just suffer a little and marry down to him!"

Liu Zhen was really dumbfounded. Where did all this come from?

"Brother Sun, Sister-in-law Sun, have you two misunderstood something?"

"Hasn't our Chen Xiao already broken up with Xiao Li?"

Sun Li widened her eyes, looking like it was a matter of course.

"We broke up, but that doesn't stop us from getting married!"
