When Jiang Hongyan first barged into the private room, Cheng Xiaofan had already seen that she and those people were doing this for the first time.
If they were seasoned professionals, he wouldn't have easily let those burly men off. Within a single move, he could cripple them entirely.
Hearing her words, Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Jiang Hongyan, if I'm not mistaken, isn't it that your mother is critically ill and urgently needs a sum of money for treatment?"
"You can even tell this?" Jiang Hongyan asked with astonishment.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Earlier, from the melancholy that flashed across your expression, I captured this information from your vital energy."
Jiang Hongyan said with admiration, "Mr. Cheng, you are truly amazing!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed, "Beauty, don't worry about your mother's illness. After dinner, I'll go to your place. No matter what illness she has, I can definitely cure her."
Jiang Hongyan said, "You can also treat people?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Yes, in front of beautiful women, I never lie!"
"If you can cure my mother, I'll do anything you ask!"
Jiang Hongyan said emotionally, "Even if you ask me to be your woman, I will agree."
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "Alright, I've noted that down!"
After having lunch, the group came out of the private room.
As they went downstairs, Cheng Xiaofan specifically instructed the waiter to pack two delicious dishes.
He packed the dishes and handed them to Jiang Hongyan.
Just as they were about to leave, the beautiful waitress at the counter quickly called out to Cheng Xiaofan, "Sir, you still have a pile of gold coins left!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "We're coming here to eat again tonight. Make the dishes even more elaborate."
"Okay, thank you, sir!" said the beautiful waitress.
Exiting the hotel.
Jiang Hongyan said, "Mr. Cheng, you're eating here again tonight?"
"Yes!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "After I cure your mother's illness, we'll celebrate here for her!"
"Besides, you said you were willing to be my woman, so this is what I should do!"
Jiang Hongyan felt shy from his words.
She thought, this man is too confident.
He hasn't even met my mother, and he's already sure he can cure her illness?
I hope he isn't just boasting and can truly cure my mother's illness.
If he can really cure my mother, such a handsome guy, I'd be willing even if I had to pledge myself to him.
"Beauty, how far is your home from here?" Cheng Xiaofan asked.
Jiang Hongyan said, "It's just across the street and not far ahead."
Crossing the street.
There was a patch of woods ahead.
Walking through the woods, a completely different world appeared before their eyes.
This was a slum, with dilapidated walls and humble houses everywhere.
Seeing the scene, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.
Jiang Hongyan, a girl from a wealthy family, due to the death of the former star lord, her father's suicide, and being pursued and on the run, had fallen into such a dire situation. It was remarkable how resilient she was.
If this had happened to an ordinary pampered girl, she would have likely despaired and sought death long ago.
"Excuse me, this is my home!" Jiang Hongyan pointed to a dilapidated house.
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "Take me to see your mother!"
Jiang Hongyan said, "Okay, follow me."
Cheng Xiaofan followed Jiang Hongyan into the house, while the burly men stood guard outside.
In a dim bedroom.
Jiang Hongyan's mother, Zheng Dongxiu, lay quietly on the bed.
At first glance, she looked like a dead person, her face devoid of any color, with only a faint breath proving she was still alive.
"Mr. Cheng, ever since my father passed away, my mother's health has declined rapidly. She grows thinner day by day and often refuses to eat."
Mentioning her mother's illness, Jiang Hongyan's beautiful eyes reddened.
She choked, "On the way, I've consulted so many doctors for my mother, and we've taken bushels of medicine, but there's been no sign of improvement."
"Mr. Cheng, can you see if my mother can be saved?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Beauty, your mother is suffering from severe depression after your father's death. Coupled with the hardships of the journey, she caught a chill and didn't receive timely treatment, leading to multiple ailments."
"Could you get me a cup of hot water!"
"Okay, I'll get you hot water right away!" Jiang Hongyan went to the main room and poured Cheng Xiaofan a cup of steaming hot water.
Immediately!
Cheng Xiaofan took some dregs from the Undying Tree from his spatial storage and steeped them in the cup.
After a short while, the water in the cup turned milky white.
With the steam, a faint fragrance filled the entire bedroom.
After the water cooled down slightly.
Cheng Xiaofan pried open Zheng Dongxiu's mouth and poured the water from the cup into her mouth, then used his spiritual energy to guide it into her abdomen.
He then took out a pill and put it into her mouth.
In an instant, Zheng Dongxiu's face, which had been devoid of color, turned rosy.
"Beauty, your mother is fine now!" Cheng Xiaofan said with relief and a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Zheng Dongxiu suddenly opened her eyes.
She saw her daughter at first glance and quickly said, "Hongyan, are you alright?"
Seeing this, Jiang Hongyan burst into tears and said, "Mom, your daughter is fine. Seeing you awake, daughter is so happy!"
Zheng Dongxiu reached out her hands and caressed her daughter's hair, choking, "Daughter, you've had a hard time!"
Saying that, she sat up from the bed.
Jiang Hongyan quickly stopped her and said, "Mom, you just woke up, your body is still very weak, don't get up!"
Zheng Dongxiu wiped her tears and smiled, "Hongyan, Mom feels refreshed all over, there's nothing wrong with me, let me get out of bed!"
Hearing her say this, Jiang Hongyan immediately let go.
After Zheng Dongxiu got out of bed, she walked around a couple of times and said, "I'm really fine, my body feels strong, there's nothing wrong with me."
Jiang Hongyan pointed to Cheng Xiaofan and excitedly said to her mother, "Mom, your illness was cured by this Mr. Cheng."
Zheng Dongxiu was very surprised and bowed deeply to Cheng Xiaofan, saying, "Mr. Cheng, thank you for saving my life!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Hongyan and I are friends, it was just a small favor, no need to be so polite."
Jiang Hongyan brought the food and said to Zheng Dongxiu, "Mom, are you hungry? Mr. Cheng bought these dishes for you, eat them while they're hot!"
Zheng Dongxiu took the bowl, sniffed it, and sighed, "It smells so good. How many years has it been since I've smelled such fragrant food!"
Hearing this, Jiang Hongyan's eyes turned red again.
She said, "Mom, it's all my fault for being incompetent and not being able to provide you with delicacies."
Zheng Dongxiu sighed, "Daughter, you can't blame yourself. It's already very good that we managed to escape here safely and keep our lives!"
Listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter, Cheng Xiaofan felt a pang of sadness.
He didn't know why.
He somehow felt that the mother and daughter's plight seemed to be related to him.
"Huh, it's strange, why do I have this feeling?" Cheng Xiaofan couldn't figure it out.
