Chapter 421: Horrible Outcome
Jiang Yuran’s words caused Jiang Liran to freeze for a moment.
Big Qiao? Qiao Yanjue?
Jiang Liran was several years apart from Qiao Yanjue and the others, so they didn’t hang out together, but how could he not know Qiao Yanjue?
This young woman… Ah, this little miracle doctor and Qiao Yanjue had a relations.h.i.+p?
And judging by Jiang Yuran’s att.i.tude, it seemed that the relations.h.i.+p between the two was not ordinary!
Jiang Liran was still pondering over the relations.h.i.+p between the two, and Xia Xibei was all but speechless.
“What are you talking about?!”
“Oh yeah, I said the wrong thing!” Jiang Yuran understood and lightly slapped his own mouth. “How could you and Big Qiao have a fight? If you really quarreled, he’d definitely kneel on a washboard first!”
With Qiao Yanjue’s whipped ways, there was no need for him to be on Xia Xibei’s side.
Xia Xibei was speechless. Her heart was beating wildly, and her face was red with annoyance. What nonsense he was talking about?!
Kneeling on a washboard?! What a joke!
Jiang Liran was not as clueless as his brother, and seeing the girl’s annoyance, he swatted his brother aside and immediately changed the subject.
“Doctor, what should I do about this situation?”
He was sincere and serious, no longer as suspicious as he was before.
His seriousness swept away Xia Xibei’s shame and embarra.s.sment, so she answered, “I will give you some medicine to force out all these parasites. When the time comes, the mother worm will suffer a backlash.”
“The mother worm? Great, thanks!” Jiang Liran immediately thanked her and had an idea in his mind.
Xia Xibei nodded. He did indeed have to thank her.
If he had not met her, he wouldn’t have lived for more than a few years.
Looking at Xia Xibei’s serene and beautiful face, Jiang Liran’s heart stirred and he suddenly asked, “What would have happened if I continued like this?”
Xia Xibei raised her eyebrows, “Do you really want to know?”
“Yes.”
“If you kept going as before, you would drink some konjac jelly liquor, and after six months, your health would have been damaged. If you engaged in marital relations, in two or three years, no medicine would have worked on you.”
Jiang Liran’s face turned pale.
Jiang Yuran was also taken aback.
At this moment, his brain, which usually wasn’t used very much, was spinning fast.
“Big brother, wasn’t your and Sister Dongqing’s wedding scheduled six months from now?”
Thinking of this, his face also became ugly.
Jiang Liran’s face was even more remarkable than his.
After being illuminated by Xia Xibei, with his experience and mentality, how could he not recognize the foul play here?
Although he did not understand what Xia Xibei had said about the konjac jelly liquor, he did drink.
In fact, drinking alcohol was suggested by a doctor Xie Dongqing had introduced to him!
If he really drank all that alcohol, he would have married Xie Dongqing six months later.
Once married, marital relations would have been inevitable.
Then, after two or three years, he would have been dead!
Thinking about it, if Xie Dongqing was still willing to marry him when he was in ill health, he would definitely have been very touched. He would be very good to her. If not absolutely devoted, then at least very faithful.
Then, when he died, wouldn’t Xie Dongqing, as his wife, be able to inherit his estate?
At this moment, all kinds of suspicions flashed in Jiang Liran’s mind. His face became more and more grim, and his body trembled due to anger.
Jiang Yuran was startled and hurriedly rea.s.sured him, “Brother, take it easy. Let’s figure it out first.”
Jiang Yuran was also sure that this matter was related to Xie Dongqing, but at this time, he could not let Jiang Liran get too agitated.
Jiang Liran had experienced enough in his past, so he quickly took a few deep breaths and squashed the anger in his heart.
