Chapter 65: Shen Nong Clinic

  Yang Xiang's bedroom had a very soft big bed, and the quilt had a fascinating subtle fragrance. Wu Rui soon fell asleep comfortably.

  Yang Xiang originally wanted to stay by Wu Rui's bedside, but Xu Niang was staring at her with a fierce gaze from across the room, so she couldn't do that and instead called out to Xu Niang to quietly leave the bedroom.

  As for Yang Xuan, Xu originally felt sorry and sympathetic, but now there was an inexplicable sense of hostility in her heart. She sat down on the sofa and couldn't help but mock: "Originally everyone was worried that Sister Xuan wouldn't be able to make a living after leaving the Liu family, but it seems like everyone's worries were unnecessary."

  Yang Xiang seemed to not mind either, and poured her a glass of water, elegantly saying: "Thank you for your concern, but I'm doing quite well now, and Xiao Mi's illness has also been cured by Wu Rui. I think in the future, I can live a good life and plan my own future."

  "Congratulations!" Xu Niang said with a snort, genuinely congratulating Yang Xuan, but then she added with a hint of implication: "However, they won't let you find another husband over there."

  "I'm no longer close with the Liu family now, whether I find a man or not has nothing to do with them!" Yang Xuan forced a smile, although she was smiling, her expression didn't look natural.

  "This you know better than anyone else, unless you leave Goose City!" Xu Niang said with a smile, this is the tragedy of a wealthy family, she knows that if she doesn't create her own foundation, her future fate will be the same, completely without freedom.

  "Hehe......" Yang Xuan smiled and didn't continue the conversation, instead asking Xu Niang: "And you? I heard you got engaged recently."

  Unlike Yang Xuan, Xu Xiangle was not good at hiding her emotions in her heart, and everything was expressed on her face. After hearing this, the smile on her face froze immediately, and she drank the white water in the cup as if it were wine, her eyes dazed.

  "You didn't actually like Wu Rui, you just wanted to borrow his influence. You don't need to argue with me about it." Yang Xuan shook her head.

  "Don't you like him?" Xu asked back.

  "Of course! Wu Rui is just like a white knight, appearing suddenly at my most difficult and dangerous moment. He's full of noble spirit, untainted by any bad habits, not obsessed with fame or wealth, and has a bit of a heroic air about him. Although he's younger than me by a few years, I think I have no reason to dislike such a man, even if I know he won't accept me. I'd be willing to throw myself into the fire like a moth!" Yang Xuan spoke frankly and openly, without any girlish shyness or artificial affectation.

  "...Hearing you say that, it seems that guy is actually quite good." Xu Xianger muttered to herself.

  Yang Xuan smiled slightly and said: "You want to borrow his power, I want to get his heart, our goals are not contradictory, how about giving the opportunity to sister Xuan?"

  "Ah... " Xu Xiulan hesitated for a moment, then said: "As the saying goes, 'familiarity breeds affection', who knows if I'll fall in love with him in the future? To be on the safe side, it's better to keep an eye on him!"

  Yang Xuan felt a little frustrated upon hearing this, but there was nothing she could do about it. If Xu Jie hadn't been around tonight, her relationship with Wu Rui would have definitely taken another step forward! Unfortunately, fate is just like that - you can't force it, and it's fleeting and unpredictable. No one can predict the outcome of future events.

  That night, Wu Rui slept very soundly, the most soundly in his life. The soft big bed and the enchanting fragrance made him sleep until early next morning when he opened his eyes dazedly to find himself in a princess-like room with pink wallpaper and crimson bead curtains, feminine yet not lacking grandeur, matching Yang Guafu's style.

  "Hmm... so fragrant!" Wu Rui was momentarily dazed and felt that the air here was even more wonderful than on planet Ausen.

  "Is this the aura of a woman?" Wu Rui's heart was filled with ripples, but in the next moment, she was suddenly enlightened. She hastily got out of bed, casually tidied up her clothes and hair, and then walked out of the room.

  Yang Xiang had already gotten out of bed and was busy making breakfast in the kitchen. When she saw Wu Rui come out, her face lit up with joy, and she smiled as she walked over to ask: "Wu Rui, you're finally up! Are you feeling better?"

  "Thank you, I'm fine now, I...I'll just go wash my face!" Wu Rui muttered incoherently before heading to the bathroom, not daring to look directly at Yang Xuan's gentle expression. As a cultivator, he was indeed devoted to his practice, but when it came to emotional matters, he had always been in a state of blankness. The recent turmoil in his heart had left him somewhat at a loss.

  "Alas... Is it because you disdain my widow status?" Yang Xuan sighed with a hint of resentment.

  When Wu Rui came out of the bathroom in a daze, Xu Niang from next door had also gotten up. Under Yang Xuan's enthusiastic invitation, the two hastily ate breakfast before heading to the clinic.

  Seeing Wu Rui engrossed in "Baicao Huace", Xu Niang asked with a sullen face: "Hey, what's the use of making this Baicao painting? You're not doing it on purpose to get close to that widow, are you?"

  "...Wu Rui directly threw a white eye ball over and said: "Why ask so many questions? Focus on driving, don't drive into the ditch!"

  "Hmm!" Xu Xiulan let out two dissatisfied hums, but didn't dare to joke about her own life and others', focusing on driving instead. She finally stopped the car in front of a villa by the Gejiang River.

  Looking at the luxurious three-story building in front of her, Wu Rui couldn't help but ask Xu Niang: "Hey, you're not going to open a clinic here, are you? How can patients come to a place like this?"

  "What's to be afraid of? Fine wine isn't afraid of being in a deep alley! Besides, don't look at this as not being a street, but in fact, there are many people passing by, because this area is also open to the outside. When citizens come to Goose River for leisure, they all pass through here, and the number of people coming and going isn't less than that of the market." Xu Guan said seriously.

  "Oh?" Wu Rui felt relieved and didn't pursue the matter further, but out of curiosity asked: "How did you manage to rent such a villa?"

  "Rent? This is my ancestral home, but a few years ago, the Goose River area was developed on a large scale and nearby buildings couldn't be made special, so this villa district also had to be opened up to outsiders. Even the walls were demolished, greatly weakening security, that's why we moved out." Xu Niang explained with a hum.

  "It's actually your family's house, that's great, otherwise how much rent would we have to pay!" Wu Rui suddenly realized.

  "...Miss Xu looked at the miser with disdain, then took out a key from her bag and opened the villa's front door."

  The villa hall is very bright, and the furniture has been removed at this time. Instead, there are some public benches, with several red wooden medicine cabinets in front, as well as a diagnosis table. The walls of the hall have also undergone simple decoration, with some words about health preservation carved on them. Overall, it looks like a pharmacy.

  "The first floor is for receiving general patients, the second floor is a VIP reception room, with four luxurious guest rooms in addition to a large hall. The third floor is our residence, with a total of four rooms, one for you and one for me, and two temporarily empty." Xu Xiuzhu acted as a tour guide, explaining the entire clinic's situation.

  After a pause, Xu Xiangu continued: "Now there are still three things to do. First, take out your ID card and let me handle all the procedures at the clinic, as well as your medical license. Don't get into trouble later."

  "ID card?" This thing Wu Rui had, was made by the old man for him. After searching for half a day in the corner of Mina's house, Wu Rui finally found it and handed it directly to Xu Niang.

  "The second thing is to find a few nurses and cleaning workers, otherwise this big clinic will be too much for us two to handle, so let me take care of it! Xu Niang paused for a moment, then continued: "Lastly, the name of the clinic, you can decide on that, think of a name that sounds good and powerful."

  "What's the name of the clinic?" Wu Rui scratched his head, and his first thought was "Dimensional Clinic", but he immediately rejected it, after all, this name was a bit too mysterious. Then he thought of "Shennong Clinic" and "Wu Rui Clinic" and so on, and after careful consideration, he finally decided: "Let's just call it Shennong Clinic!"

  "Shennong Clinic? No problem, the sign can be ready this afternoon." Xu Niang seemed to be thinking, her phoenix eyes staring straight at Wu Rui and asking: "What's your relationship with Shennong Shi mentioned by Li Qiang?"

  "If I said he was my master, would you believe me?" Wu Rui asked back.

  "If you say you're eighty years old... I believe it!" Xu Niang said matter-of-factly, leading Wu Rui to the third floor with a hint of annoyance, settling him into a bedroom before leaving alone to attend to the clinic's affairs.
