After dinner at Delicious Restaurant, the Tang family left the place in a daze.
Wang Jing pulled the gauze off Tang Chuchu's face. After leaving Delicious Restaurant, Jiang Chen took her to Xiao Hei's Mortal Clinic to prepare her medicine powder again.
Tang Chuchu sat aside, looking at the diamond-polished VIP card in her hand, then at Jiang Chen's serious expression. She felt dazed, and everything that had happened today seemed unreal.
She didn't know Gu Yixuan from Delicious Restaurant.
But Gu Yixuan presented her with a diamond card.
This diamond card also came with many privileges: a 10% discount and three free meals per month. What's the difference between this and free meals?
Soon, Jiang Chen prepared the medicine powder and came over.
"Chuchu."
"Huh?" Tang Chuchu, stunned, realized.
Jiang Chen said, "Come, I'll apply the medicine to you. I'm sorry for today. It was my absence that led to your humiliation. I promise, it won't happen again."
"It's okay," Tang Chuchu said, used to it. She leaned closer. "Come, apply the medicine."
Jiang Chen began applying the medicine and then bandaging her.
After bandaging her, Jiang Chen took Tang Chuchu home.
Tang Bo's house, living room.
This time, when Tang Chuchu returned, He Yanmei was very welcoming, serving her tea and water as if she were a wealthy lady.
Tang Bo, on the other hand, held the equity transfer agreement, grinning smirk-like.
"Chuchu, tell me the truth. What's your relationship with the owner of Delicious House? He's the son of a prominent Kyoto family. Did you hook up with him during those days when your appearance was restored? If so, once your facial injuries are healed, divorce Jiang Chen and be with Gu Yixuan. That way, I'll be proud of him in the future. Wow, such an awesome son-in-law! Just thinking about it makes me excited!"
He Yanmei looked longingly.
She remembered Gu Yixuan's domineering attitude. The Zhou family could beat anyone at will. How refreshing!
If she had a son-in-law like that, she would wake up laughing in her dreams.
"Mom, I don't know him." Tang Chuchu looked helpless. She still wondered why Gu Yixuan was so enthusiastic about her.
She suspected Jiang Chen.
Because it was Jiang Chen that had led Qianjun to cooperate with Tang Yongle.
But Jiang Chen said it was because he had saved Ye Xiong during his military service.
As for Gu Yixuan, Jiang Chen claimed he had no connection with him.
Wu Min, sitting across from him, saw how nice He Yanmei was to Tang Chuchu, and a flicker of disgust crossed her face. She pulled Tang Song, who was standing beside her, and said, "Let's go back to our rooms."
"Chuchu, take out the diamond card from Delicious Kitchen. Let me take a good look. I've never seen one before."
Tang Chuchu reluctantly took it out.
He Yanmei took it, examining it from side to side.
"Tsk, tsk, it's made of real diamonds, so heavy! This card alone must be priceless. Our Chuchu is so promising! Even the owner of Delicious Kitchen personally greeted her. This is something I'll be able to brag about for a long time. I'll be able to hold my head up high in my family."
Jiang Chen, watching this scene, felt helpless.
Putting himself in He Yanmei's shoes, he understood.
Marrying an unreliable husband and bearing a daughter who was once completely disfigured, it was a relief that she didn't collapse.
Even though she had knelt before Wang Jing before, it was for the sake of their family. It was better than Tang Song and Wu Min, who, seeing something was amiss, simply fled.
Tang Bo was so frightened he didn't dare utter a word.
It wasn't easy.
He shook his head slightly.
Because she had regained 10% of Tang's shares and had made He Yanmei proud at Delicious, Tang Chuchu's status at home had skyrocketed. He Yanmei no longer scolded her as a loser or a jinx.
Tang Chuchu felt elated at her mother's approval.
For the next few days, Jiang Chen stayed home with Tang Chuchu every day, only accompanying her to change her dressings.
The medicine he used on Tang Chuchu was extremely expensive and priceless, personally formulated by him, and it was incredibly effective.
Three days later, Tang Chuchu removed the gauze.
The scars on her face had completely healed, leaving no scars.
Tang Chuchu stood in front of the mirror, looking at her restored beauty with a look of shock on her face.
Although Jiang Chen had repeatedly told her that she would recover, she was still shocked when she did.
This medical skill was truly miraculous.
"Chen, you're amazing! You've had so many scars, and not a single one remains."
Jiang Chen smiled, "It's not my skill, it's all thanks to Xiao Hei. He was the one who taught me how to make the medicine."
Tang Chuchu stroked her fair face. "If this formula were to get out, it would definitely cause a stir. If I were to open a beauty salon, business would be booming."
Jiang Chen said, "Xiao Hei is indifferent to fame and fortune. He doesn't care about money. He just wants to live an ordinary life."
Tang Chuchu curled her lips. "What a strange person! There are still people who don't like money these days."
"Knock, knock."
There was a knock on the door.
"Chuchu, what are you hesitating about? Grandpa's calling a family meeting, and he wants us to be there on time. If you're late and make Grandpa angry, he'll take back your shares, and I won't forgive you."
He Yanmei's voice called from outside.
"Mom, it'll be quick. Just a few more minutes," Tang Chuchu called, going to the closet to find some clothes.
"Chen, what should I wear?"
Jiang Chen sat on the bed, looking at Tang Chuchu.
Tang Chuchu wore a thin, slightly see-through dress. She had a great figure, especially her long, white, straight legs.
He said, "Chuchu looks good in anything."
"Oh, pick me something quickly."
"That dress you have is a good one."
"This one?"
"Yes."
"You go out, I'll change." Tang Chuchu blushed and pointed outside.
Although they had obtained their marriage certificate and Jiang Chen had moved in, she slept on the bed every night while he slept on the floor.
This was Jiang Chen's initiative.
From the first day, it seemed natural.
Although she was Jiang Chen's wife, their relationship was limited to holding hands; they had never even kissed.
Jiang Chen came to repay his debt; he wouldn't force Tang Chuchu.
Jiang Chen nodded. He wouldn't touch Tang Chuchu.
Now that Tang Chuchu had asked him to leave, he left without a word.
He waited outside the living room for a few minutes.
Soon, Tang Chuchu emerged from the room.
"Wow, sister, your injuries are healed?" Tang Song's eyes lit up at the sight of Tang Chuchu.
Wu Min, watching, was also filled with envy. She envied Tang Chuchu's beautiful face and, even more, her perfect figure.
"Daughter, you?" He Yanmei was stunned.
For the past few days, Tang Chuchu's face had been bandaged, and she hadn't paid much attention. Now, after removing the bandages, her face was completely free of any scars. Such medical skills were truly miraculous.
Tang Chuchu wore a fitted white dress and red high heels, her long hair cascading over her shoulders. She had a slender figure and exuded elegance, a smile on her beautiful face. "It was Chen who cured me."
He Yanmei glanced at Jiang Chen and murmured softly, "He's not completely useless. At least he knows a little bit of medicine."
Jiang Chen smiled but said nothing.
He knew a lot more than just medical skills. His skills were renowned, and the powerful in Kyoto were desperate to curry his favor, both for his status and his medical skills.
"Knowing some medical skills, opening a clinic seems like it could be profitable," He Yanmei observed Jiang Chen.
Although she disliked Jiang Chen, he was tall, strong, and handsome.
Furthermore, since Jiang Chen had cured Tang Chuchu twice, she also coveted his medical skills.
"Mom, why did Grandpa suddenly call a family meeting?"
He Yanmei said, "It's the Xiaoyao King Succession Ceremony. I heard a lot of seats are open to the public. Dad, wanting to save face, wants to hold a meeting and find a spot so that the Tang family can join the ranks of top families."
