Chen Jiang brought the Jade Beauty Cream over.
“You’ll know once you try it.”
“You apply it for me,” Jiang Muge said, her voice tinged with exhaustion.
Resigned, Chen Jiang could only stand before her and open the cream.
From his vantage point, he caught an eye-catching glimpse of her cleavage.
Chen Jiang couldn’t help but steal another look.
“Enjoying the view?” Jiang Muge’s red lips curved into a smile.
Chen Jiang awkwardly averted his gaze.
“You should cover yourself up.”
Jiang Muge giggled, her eyes glinting with a soft, teasing light.
Seeing him blush, she didn’t cover up at all.
Instead, she pushed her chest out even further.
Chen Jiang calmed himself and began applying the cream.
Jiang Muge felt a cooling sensation spread across her face.
The soothing coolness on her wound felt wonderful.
Ling Qingyue and Lu Ziyan, standing to the side, fell silent, their eyes glued to her face.
Xu Muya was also extremely tense and uneasy.
‘This woman is clearly from no simple background.
If Chen Jiang is trying to trick her, she might just fly off the handle.’
One minute passed, then two…
In the blink of an eye, five minutes had gone by.
“All done.” Chen Jiang wiped the cream from her face.
Everyone was stunned!
“Th-Th-This…”
“The scab just fell off on its own?”
“The scar is gone?”
“And the skin where the cream was applied is even fairer and smoother than before!
There’s not a single trace of a scar!”
Hearing their exclamations, Jiang Muge pulled out her phone.
As she examined her reflection, her face lit up with delighted surprise.
The miraculous effect of this cream was beyond her wildest imagination.
“Han Zhen, get one million yuan for this young man right now!” she ordered.
“Five hundred thousand is enough.
I have my principles.
Since I said five hundred thousand, it’s five hundred thousand,” Chen Jiang said calmly.
“However, if you want to buy more next time, it’ll be one hundred thousand per bottle!”
Jiang Muge’s laughter tinkled like silver bells.
She fixed her almond-shaped eyes on Chen Jiang, a teasing smile playing on her lips.
“Turning down money?”
Chen Jiang said, “If you really want to thank me, you can recommend more people to Mrs.
Xu’s beauty and wellness spa.”
“Interesting,” Jiang Muge laughed.
“But no one can change my mind once I’ve made a decision.
Han Zhen, give him a bank card with one million yuan on it.”
“Understood.” Han Zhen nodded.
Then, Jiang Muge fixed her gaze on Chen Jiang and added, “I still owe you for this.”
‘Saving my life is worth far more than a mere one million to me!’
‘And besides, Chen Jiang also saved my looks.’
Chen Jiang tried to refuse again, but Han Zhen simply stuffed a bank card into his hand.
“Young man, don’t be modest.
Just do as my lady says.”
“Alright, then.” Seeing their insistence, Chen Jiang didn’t argue any further.
And just like that, he had a million yuan.
Xu Muya, Zhang Baifu, and Chen Lin all stared with wide eyes.
‘A million yuan, earned just that easily?’
Jiang Muge gave Chen Jiang a profound look.
“I will remember that you saved my life today.
In the future, if you ever need anything, call me.
I can solve one problem for you—any problem.”
With that, she gave Han Zhen a look.
Han Zhen presented him with Jiang Muge’s business card.
Chen Jiang accepted it.
“Alright.”
‘I can tell she’s not someone to be trifled with,’ he thought.
‘And it’s always good to have connections.’
“What’s your name?”
“Chen Jiang.”
“Chen Jiang…”
Jiang Muge murmured his name to herself a few times before leaving Shangyi Hall, supported by her two bodyguards.
Before she left, she took only five bottles of the Jade Beauty Cream.
That would be enough for her needs.
Meanwhile, Ling Qingyue, her face pale, quickly hurried over.
Steeling herself, she asked worriedly, “Little Divine Doctor, you said before that I have a tumor in my breast…
Is that true?”
Chen Jiang replied calmly, “If you don’t believe me, you can go to a hospital and get it checked.”
“Then…
can you cure it?”
Chen Jiang replied evenly, “That depends on whether you’re willing to cooperate with me.”
Lu Ziyan took a deep breath.
“Qingyue, let’s go to the hospital right now and get you checked out.”
Looking completely crestfallen, Ling Qingyue left Shangyi Hall, got into a car with Lu Ziyan, and headed straight for the hospital.
It was only then that Xu Muya slowly recovered from the shock.
“Jiang, so you…
you really know medicine?”
‘At first, I thought he was just joking.
I never expected him to be this incredible the moment he made a move.’
“I know a little,” Chen Jiang said with a faint smile.
Xu Muya’s lovely eyes sparkled with excitement.
‘His medical skills are practically miraculous!
How could that be “knowing a little”?’
Zhang Baifu, who had been looking down on Chen Jiang just moments before, was now the picture of reverence.
“So, Mr.
Chen is an expert in the medical arts.
I was blind and failed to recognize your greatness.
I sincerely apologize, Mr.
Chen!”
He had even changed how he addressed him to the formal “Mr.
Chen.”
‘I’ve studied medicine for decades, yet I don’t possess even a tenth of his skill!’
He now practically worshipped Chen Jiang as a god.
‘My greatest wish in life is to take my medical skills to the next level.
If only I could get Mr.
Chen to teach me a thing or two…
that would be incredible.’
“There’s no need for such formality, Elder Zhang,” Chen Jiang said.
‘Zhang Baifu might be a bit of a windbag,’ Chen Jiang thought, ‘but he’s an old man, and he works for Mrs.
Xu.
It wouldn’t be good to make things too tense.
I can’t be bothered to hold a grudge against him.’
As for the young woman, Chen Lin, her eyes were filled with pure adoration as she looked at Chen Jiang.
‘He made a million yuan in less than twenty minutes!
He’s just too amazing!’
Xu Muya composed herself.
“Jiang, come with me for a moment.”
Chen Jiang followed Xu Muya toward one of the massage rooms.
Once inside, Xu Muya asked, “Jiang, be honest with me.
Where did you learn all these medical skills?”
Xu Muya was standing very close to him, and the sweet fragrance wafting from her body stirred something within him.
‘I don’t seem to feel this way so easily around other women.’
‘But with Mrs.
Xu, there seems to be a special connection.
It’s like Pandora’s box—once opened, it can’t be closed…
To put it plainly, she has a unique pull on me, an attraction unlike any I feel for other women.’
Pushing the chaotic thoughts from his mind, Chen Jiang said, “I studied for a few days with an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor back in the countryside.
He was a very capable man.”
“That’s it?” Xu Muya pressed.
“Mhm.” Chen Jiang gave a simple, honest smile and scratched his head.
“He said I had a knack for it.
I never expected that I’d actually develop some real skill just by stumbling my way through it.”
‘I can’t just tell people that I activated a jade pendant and received an ancient inheritance from within it.’
‘It’s just too unbelievable.’
So, even with Mrs.
Xu, Chen Jiang held back the full truth.
Xu Muya warned him anxiously, “It’s a good thing you’re so skilled, but you have to be careful.
Don’t be too conspicuous.
Sometimes…
a man is innocent, but his treasure makes him a target.”
“Take this miraculous cream you brought out today, for example.
It could easily make you a target.
A single bottle costs fifty thousand, and even at that price, there are plenty of people who would be scrambling to get their hands on it.”
“What if someone unscrupulous takes a liking to it and decides to take it from you by force?”
Xu Muya could tell Chen Jiang wasn’t being completely honest.
Thinking of the secret her best friend had told her before she passed away, she hesitated, wondering if she should tell him.
