Chapter 864: Family

Chi Zeyao thought, ‘…when you spilled everything on Nuannuan to me, have you ever asked me to keep it a secret? Why don’t I remember anything like that?’

Zhong Nuannuan thought to herself, ‘…Ah, so what you mean is that you’re the only one who can pass on my secret to others? My nice Grandpa is such a wonderful confidant!’

Second Uncle felt wronged by the old master’s lecture, but he maintained a good-natured temper. “Dad, I’m sorry. I forgot.”

“Hmph! I should’ve known you and Chi Yang are unreliable! From now on, I’ll be relying on our Nuannuan!”

Nuannuan smiled and held the old master’s hand affectionately. “Yes, Grandpa, you can count on me. I’ll be counting on you too, Grandpa.”

The old master was so amused that he laughed out loud. “Hahahaha, good, good! As long as I’m still alive, I’ll be the support all of you can count on. You can depend on me however you want!”

Since he believed that Nuannuan was definitely a good person and would never do anything against the law, he was willing to back his granddaughter-in-law regardless of time and place.

“Nuannuan, since it’s our first time meeting, there’s nothing much I can give you, other than this. Although I heard from my dad that you’re Duke Eton’s daughter and the chairman of Tianheng Holdings—so you definitely don’t lack money—this is my token of appreciation as your second uncle. In the future, besides Duke Eton, you’ll have Chi Yang, Grandpa, and Second Uncle to lean on. If you face any problems when you’re outside, remember that we’re all your family.”

Zhong Nuannuan took the card from Chi Zeyao’s hand. It was a Centurion Card.

There were only a limited number of such cards in the world. Only a very small number of world-class whales could own a Centurion Card.

It could be said that whoever was a cardholder must have had limitless spending.

Second Uncle’s generosity toward Nuannuan was unmistakable.

Yet, what was most important to Nuannuan was Second Uncle’s thoughtfulness and his words to her.

“Thank you, Second Uncle!” Although she had the same card, she should not reject a gift from an elder, so she happily accepted it.

“Second Uncle, from now on, we’re family. If you need my help, no need to stand on ceremony!”

Chi Zeyao smiled. “Alright, I won’t stand on ceremony with you. Besides, I have something to trouble you with.”

“What is it?”

“I heard from Dad that you’re an expert in acupuncture. Can you help me relieve some of my pain?”

“Of course! I examined your body just now. Your skin was grafted at a later stage, and your body isn’t in great shape. It feels like you’re entirely covered in injuries. Even though I can’t use acupuncture to remove your illness all at a go, the reason I came to Emperor District is to study at a medical university. When I learn everything about clinical medicine, surgery, and acupuncture, I promise to cure your body within three years.”

Chi Zeyao was stunned.

However, it was the old master who leaped in excitement.

“Little Girl Nuan, are you serious? Don’t lie to me!”

“Grandpa, when have I ever lied to you!”

“Hahaha! That means you’re serious about it, right? The doctor Zeyao went to told him that he only had three to five years left to live, and you say you can cure him in three years. Does that mean that Zeyao won’t die?”

“Grandpa, Second Uncle, don’t worry. Leave this matter to me!”

“Ahahaha…” The old master laughed out loud. He was now in high spirits.

“Zeyao, call Old Man Nangong, Old Man Xu, and Old Man Li. Tell them that I’m treating them to dinner tonight!”

Although Chi Zeyao was happy that he could live longer, he was a man who had long accepted the reality of life and death.
