Chapter 23: The Mysterious Woman
Not far from the entrance of the Fragrant Flower Shop, Han Xing stopped the car and said lightly, "We've arrived. I won't get out to avoid making your beautiful friend jealous!"
Xiao Yun understood that she had some complaints about not staying for dinner, and she didn't mind the sting in his words. She got out of the car and laughed, "Haha, how could that be? Qingxue is not the kind of person you think she is. If you don't believe me, you can come into the flower shop and see if she acts like you say!"
Qingxue... Hearing his tone made her feel quite close to him! A wave of jealousy unexpectedly enveloped Han Xing's heart like a light mist.
"No thanks, I don't want to be a third wheel!" Han Xing's tone suddenly turned cold as he turned the steering wheel and drove away.
Uh...
This little girl can change her attitude as quickly as flipping a book! Xiao Yun shook her head inwardly as she walked into the flower shop.
Inside the flower shop, Duan Qingxue was talking to another woman. Upon seeing Xiao Yun enter, Duan Qingxue smiled and said, "We were just talking about you; you came at the perfect time!"
The woman smiled shyly at Xiao Yun and stood up.
Duan Qingxue pointed to the woman and introduced her to Xiao Yun, "This is my high school classmate Fang Xiaolu!"
Fang Xiaolu reached out her hand toward Xiao Yun, who gently shook it and said, "Hello, Miss Fang!"
Then Xiao Yun asked Duan Qingxue, "Sister Qingxue, you seemed quite urgent on the phone. Is there something important?"
Duan Qingxue replied, "This matter is better explained by Fang Xiaolu!"
Xiao Yun was taken aback and turned her questioning gaze toward Fang Xiaolu's face.
Fang Xiaolu was about the same age as Duan Qingxue. Although she didn't have the stunning presence of Duan Qingxue, she was elegant and charming in her own right. With a petite figure and lively curves, she looked appealing. However, there seemed to be a hint of sadness locked between her beautiful brows.
“Mr. Xiao…” Fang Xiaolu met Xiao Yun's gaze, wanting to say something but hesitating.
Xiao Yun smiled and said, “Miss Fang, since you are Sister Qingxue's classmate, we are friends now. If you have anything to say, just go ahead!”
Fang Xiaolu sighed and said, “I came to visit Qingxue today and heard her mention that you can draw bones and treat illnesses. My mother has problems with her leg joints and cannot walk; she has been bedridden for years and is suffering greatly. I would like to ask if you could take a look at her and see if she can be treated!”
“Oh, sure, I can take a look for you tonight!” Xiao Yun replied casually.
Fang Xiaolu was delighted and said, “That’s great! Thank you so much, Mr. Xiao. You haven’t eaten yet, right? Let me treat you tonight!”
Duan Qingxue laughed and said, “Xiao Lu, what are you talking about? You came here to play with me today, so it’s only natural that I treat you!”
“Don’t argue,” Xiao Yun said. “Let me treat you instead!”
As he spoke, he took out a card from his bag and handed it to Duan Qingxue, saying, “Sister Qingxue, keep this card for me.”
When Duan Qingxue saw that the card had eighty thousand yuan on it, her expression changed. She looked at Xiao Yun in shock and asked, “Xiao Yun, where did you get so much money? Did you rob a bank?”
Xiao Yun laughed heartily and said, “Sister, how could you say that? I’m a good young man; I wouldn’t do such things! This is a gift from the Boss Lady of Phoenix City Grand Hotel.”
“Ah, is that Boss Lady named Liu Ziyan?” Fang Xiaolu asked. “I’ve been there to eat with friends twice; that Liu Boss Lady is extremely beautiful!”
Hearing this, Duan Qingxue felt an indescribable sensation rise within her. She glanced at Xiao Yun with a strange look and asked, “Did someone pick you up today? Is it someone from Phoenix City? Why did she give you so much money?”
Xiao Yun casually replied, “Yes, but giving me eighty thousand isn’t too much.”
“Isn’t too much?” Duan Qingxue looked at Xiao Yun in astonishment.
Why would someone give him such a large sum of money for no reason? What was the hidden story behind this?
Fang Xiaolu was even more curious as she observed Xiao Yun from the side.
Seeing the puzzled gaze of Second Girl, Xiao Yun smiled and recounted the events of this afternoon at Phoenix City Grand Hotel from beginning to end. However, with Fang Xiaolu present, he did not mention Gu Tianfeng, nor did he voice his suspicions.
So that's how it is, Duan Qingxue thought, feeling a sense of relief. She seemed to find it somewhat amusing that she had been so nervous about him. Was it because he looked too much like someone?
The pain in Duan Qingxue's waist was something she had witnessed Xiao Yun heal with his painting, so she was not surprised by what he said about helping Liu Ziyan stand up from her wheelchair. On the other hand, Fang Xiaolu looked quite strange, her mouth agape as she stared at Xiao Yun in astonishment. Could this guy really be that amazing?
She could hardly imagine that there was someone in the world who could help others stand up from a wheelchair using a painting; it was simply divine!
Duan Qingxue helped Xiao Yun put away the card and playfully patted Fang Xiaolu on the shoulder, saying, "Hey, Xiao Lu, stop staring at Xiao Yun like a lovesick fool. Since he earned such a big sum of money, let's let him treat us!"
This pat brought Fang Xiaolu back to reality as if waking from a dream; her face turned red instantly, and she lowered her head, unsure of what to say.
Since Xiao Yun still needed to visit Fang Xiaolu's home to see her mother that night, the three of them stopped by a large food stall near the flower shop for a simple meal. After eating, night fell, and the streetlights lit up all around, making it seem as if all the stars of the day had fallen into the city.
Duan Qingxue wanted to accompany Xiao Yun, so she bought a large bag of fruit nearby. The three of them took a taxi heading towards Fang Xiaolu's residence.
Fang Xiaolu's neighborhood was quite ordinary; it was built in the 1980s and looked somewhat dilapidated. Upon arriving at her home, they found almost no furnishings inside, but it was very tidy. It seemed that Fang Xiaolu's family did not live in abundance.
Fang Xiaolu led them into her mother's bedroom. Her mother was lying on the bed reading a novel. Duan Qingxue stepped forward and smiled, "Hello, Auntie!"
"Ah, isn't this Qingxue? Hehe, you haven't been here in a long time! I've often mentioned you in front of Xiao Lu!" Fang Xiaolu's mother said happily upon seeing Duan Qingxue.
Fang Xiaolu's mother was named Zhu Wanyu. In her forties but looking like she was in her early thirties due to good maintenance, she had fair skin and a crescent-shaped face that exuded an intellectual beauty.
For some reason, as soon as Xiao Yun entered the room, he felt an odd atmosphere surrounding him that he couldn't quite pinpoint.
He activated Bone Eyes and scanned Zhu Wanyu from head to toe. However, when his gaze focused on her knee joints, he couldn't help but frown.
At that moment, Zhu Wanyu noticed Xiao Yun standing beside them and asked curiously, "Who is this...?"
"Oh, Mom, this is the miracle doctor I found for you. His name is Xiao Yun; he's Qingxue's boyfriend and specializes in treating your knee joints!"
The Divine Doctor - Qingxue's Boyfriend, Uh...
Xiao Yun was hearing someone refer to the Divine Doctor for the first time. He turned his gaze towards Duan Qingxue and saw her face turning so red it seemed like she might bleed; it was clear that the phrase "Qingxue's boyfriend" had embarrassed her. Xiao Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of joy inside, almost unable to contain it.
Zhu Wanyu said, "So you are Qingxue's boyfriend! Please, have a seat!"
"No, Auntie, I want to treat your legs first," Xiao Yun replied. "By the way, Auntie, I noticed that the joints in your legs seem to be injured by some kind of toxic blood!"
"What?" Zhu Wanyu shuddered and asked, "Can your eyes see the Bone on my body?"
Xiao Yun nodded.
Zhu Wanyu's eyes lit up immediately as she asked, "Are you from the Ancient Martial Arts Sect?"
Ancient Martial Arts Sect? Xiao Yun knew what it was based on his own knowledge of the business world, but how did she determine that he was from the Ancient Martial Arts Sect?
Just as he was unsure how to respond, he sensed a strange atmosphere that seemed to conceal a fierce killing intent enveloping him...
Xiao Yun's gaze finally locked onto Zhu Wanyu's neck, where she wore a jade pendant that shimmered with layers of green light under the indoor lighting. It dawned on him that the source of that killing intent came from this jade pendant.
Suddenly, Zhu Wanyu, this beautiful middle-aged woman, appeared mysterious in Xiao Yun's eyes. The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
