Chapter 76
Chapter 76
He still had a younger brother below him who had been eyeing the company greedily all this time. If his parents found out not only that he couldn’t have children, but that he was also involved with a man, wouldn’t that be the death of him?
Song Zhihe immediately hid his anger and coaxed Peng Lu in a gentle voice. “Lu Lu, my good Lu Lu, don’t be rash. Whatever it is, let’s sit down and talk it through slowly, all right?”
Song Zhihe was good-looking, and there were plenty of young women and young men who liked him in ordinary times.
In the past, whenever he had made Peng Lu angry, a few coaxing words like this had been enough for Peng Lu to let it go.
But that was the past.
Now Peng Lu hated this scumbag to the bone. How could she possibly listen to him?
Besides, Song Zhihe had been beaten black and blue, his face a complete mess.
Watching him put on an act of deep affection with that face made Peng Lu feel like she was about to throw up last night’s dinner. Unable to hold back, she kicked him hard again.
Song Zhihe had failed to make peace and got kicked again for his trouble. He nearly died of rage on the spot.
Peng Lu didn’t care how he felt. She took out her phone and called her reporter friend.
About half an hour later, several reporters arrived at the scene.
Coming with them was Wu Yuhan’s husband, Fang Nanan.
When they saw the two naked men lying on the floor, they all cried out that it was too much for the eyes.
Fang Nanan also walked over to his wife and covered her eyes.
“There are two big naked men lying here. How do you not know to look away?”
Wu Yuhan pulled her husband’s hand down and said, “I’ve already seen everything. What’s the use of covering my eyes now?”
As she spoke, Wu Yuhan glanced at Song Zhihe’s boyfriend’s abs, then glanced at her husband’s soft, sagging stomach. She looked a little disdainful. “You should start working out.”
Fang Nanan: “……”
Was now really the time to be talking about this?
And his figure was still pretty good, all right?
Sure, he couldn’t compare to those bodybuilding coaches, but at least he didn’t have much extra fat.
As the couple spoke, the reporters had already taken photos of Song Zhihe and his boyfriend, and they got a clear understanding of the situation from Peng Lu.
Once the reporters were done, the group prepared to leave.
Seeing that they were actually about to walk away just like that without undoing the Body-Binding Spell on him and his boyfriend, Song Zhihe couldn’t help shouting, “Wait! At least undo my Body-Binding Spell before you go!”
Xia Sheng said coolly, “Once your parents get here, your Body-Binding Spell will naturally be undone.”
At that, both Song Zhihe and his boyfriend broke down.
They were stark naked. If their parents saw them like this, how were they supposed to face anyone in the future?
Both men panicked and began begging Xia Sheng to help lift the Restriction.
Xia Sheng ignored them and went downstairs with Peng Lu and the others.
Once they were outside, Peng Lu looked at Xia Sheng gratefully and said, “Little Celestial Master, how much do you think would be appropriate for this commission? I’ll have the finance department transfer it to you.”
Before Xia Sheng could speak, Bai Sha said, “Two million. That was the price I paid last time.”
Xia Sheng said, “No need. One thousand is enough.”
Peng Lu nodded. “I understand.”
A moment later, Xia Sheng received a transfer of two million.
Xia Sheng: “……”
No wonder these three could be friends. Every single one of them was loaded.
Seeing that Peng Lu wasn’t short on money, Xia Sheng didn’t return it. Instead, she decided to throw in a special service for Peng Lu. “Do you want to lose weight?”
Peng Lu nodded. “I’ve been planning to.”
All these years, she had always thought Song Zhihe truly loved her. To repay him for treating her well, she had sincerely wanted to give him a child, so she had obediently taken every tonic her mother-in-law gave her.
These medicines had severe side effects. Not only could they cause hormonal imbalances and weight gain, they could also lead to high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
Her health was much worse than it had been before. She was gasping for breath after just a few steps. If she did not lose weight and properly nurse her body back to health, there would only be more illnesses waiting for her in the future.
Xia Sheng said, “I can make you some weight-loss pills. Take them for a few months, and you should slim down and recover to the level of health you had four years ago.”
Peng Lu’s eyes lit up. “There really is medicine like that? How much is it? I’ll buy it no matter what it costs!”
The Peng family was in the internet business. With the rapid development of the web over the years, the Peng family had made quite a bit of money.
As the second daughter of the Peng family, Peng Lu was doted on by her parents and older brother alike, so she naturally had no shortage of money.
A large part of the reason Song Zhihe had pursued her was because he had his eye on Peng Lu’s family background. He wanted to use Peng Lu to consolidate his position in the Song family and compete with his younger brother for the family assets.
Song Zhihe was inferior to his younger brother in both studies and work ability. Before, with the Peng family’s support, Song Zhihe had still been able to hold a place in the company.
Now that his fraudulent marriage had been exposed, and without Peng Lu’s support, his future would only become more difficult.
Xia Sheng said, “The money you’ve already given me is enough. Once I finish making the pills, you can come pick them up.”
Peng Lu nodded. When she looked at Xia Sheng, her eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration. The distrust she had shown when they first met that evening was completely gone.
In her eyes now, Xia Sheng was practically an immortal, even more impressive than those gods and Buddhas.
After all, gods and Buddhas never saved ordinary people, but Xia Sheng had truly helped her solve her problem and saved her entire life.
Otherwise, if she had really given birth to one or two children for that bastard Song Zhihe, she probably would never have been able to get rid of that gay man who had tricked her into marriage for the rest of her life.
Peng Lu was in a bad mood today, so Bai Sha and Wu Yuhan planned to go have a few drinks with her.
They figured Xia Sheng probably did not drink, so they parted ways with her at the company entrance.
Xia Sheng went to a traditional Chinese medicine shop and bought some of the herbs she needed.
These ordinary herbs could only serve as supplementary ingredients for the weight-loss and fitness pills. The most important spiritual herb still had to be obtained from elsewhere.
With that in mind, she had the Paper Figurine send Shen Shen a message, asking him to come out and meet her.
Shen Shen was a treasure from head to toe. His ginseng leaves also had miraculous effects for weight loss and improving health.
She stood at the entrance of the medicine shop and waited for two minutes before the Paper Figurine returned with a message.
Shen Shen seemed to have fallen ill and could not conveniently leave, so he asked her to come over instead.
She had some reservations. She really did not want to see Shen Yanchen.
She was just about to wait a couple of days before arranging another time to meet Shen Shen when another message came from his side, saying that Shen Yanchen was away on a business trip and not at home, so it would be fine for her to go over.
It seemed Shen Shen had taken what she had told him before to heart. He still remembered that she did not want to see Shen Yanchen.
She recalled the Paper Figurine into the Talisman Space, then prepared to hail a ride to the villa where Shen Yanchen lived.
The ride-hailing car she had called had yet to arrive when a Maybach stopped in front of her.
According to the standard setup of a domineering CEO novel, the person getting out of a car like this should have been a young, handsome, wealthy president.
In reality, however, Xia Sheng only saw several little old men step out of the car.
They were probably all people of the Mystic Sect, with faint Spiritual Energy lingering around them.
