Chapter 1445: Refusing to be Balanced (20)

Who in the world wanted Cheng Wu and Chen Xiuxiu to get married the most? It wasn't their parents, but Tang Shichu, an unrelated outsider.

Now that he heard Li Manyan say that they were really getting married, how could Tang Shichu not be happy?

Are Cheng's father and mother satisfied with Li Xiuxiu? That's even better. They are praising her now, but when the news that Chen Xiuxiu cheated on their son and asked them to help raise a wild child comes out, I wonder what their expressions will be. It's really interesting.

Tang Shichu watched the fun and thought that people like Assistant Cheng's parents should be punished by evil. They tortured the original owner so much in their previous life, so they should have an evil daughter-in-law to torture them in this life.

"That's great. Congratulations to Assistant Cheng on marrying his ideal man." Tang Shichu generously offered his blessing, "I hope they will have a son soon and have many children."

When Li Manyan heard Tang Shichu's blessing, she couldn't help but think of herself. She felt bad again and said with emotion: "They started dating later and are now married, but Ji Gao and I still haven't made any progress in our marriage."

"You have to be patient. You will surely be rewarded with happiness after all the hardship." Tang Shichu comforted her. However, it was not clear when the hardship would be over. It might be a few years, or maybe more than ten years.

Li Manyan's daughter started crying again, and Tang Shichu ended the call with her.

Zhou Zhan has become busy again and is often not seen for ten days or half a month. Even if he finds time to call Tang Shichu, they can only say a few words. This relationship is even worse than other long-distance relationships.

Fortunately, Tang Shichu is not love-brained. She is independent and autonomous, not clingy. Even without a boyfriend, she can live a happy life alone.

Sometimes she also has to go to the mountains to look for wild plants or go to other places for investigation. Even if her level of business is not as good as Zhou Zhan, she is much busier than ordinary graduate students. However, this is the major she likes and is interested in, so she does not feel it is hard and enjoys it.

One day, she received an order to diagnose and treat orchids grown by a family. The order was introduced by a familiar customer. She started to diagnose and treat diseases of plants raised by others when she was a senior in college. Such orders were rare. After all, people preferred to find professionals and famous people. Tang Shichu spent a lot of effort to gradually build up her reputation. Now, except for a few people who find her online for desperate measures, most of her customers are introduced by word of mouth from familiar customers.

This time, according to the regular customer, the old man who grows orchids is not ordinary and has a great background. As long as he can cure his favorite disease, there will be benefits for sure.

As expected, his identity was not ordinary. Tang Shichu was picked up in a low-key and luxurious car. The place he went to was also an extremely elegant and quiet place. As soon as he opened the door, someone greeted him.

Even though Tang Shichu looked too young and didn't look like an expert in treating diseases of flowers and plants, no one looked down on her, let alone dared to mock or belittle her. It was obvious that the servants in this family were all well-trained.

Tang Shichu just glanced around curiously, then quietly followed the guide to the botanical garden.

"Can you really cure my Xiaolan?" An old man with gray hair, wearing reading glasses and looking to be in his seventies or eighties asked Tang Shichu with a look of doubt when he saw him.

Tang Shichu did not answer, but just looked at the orchid in front of him. The leaves of the orchid were wilted, and had begun to turn yellow and dry, and it looked like it was dying.

After Tang Shichu looked at it, he had an idea in his mind. He pointed at the orchid pot and said to the old man: "If you mean this pot of flowers, then I am 80% sure that I can cure it."

"Don't brag too much, kid. I don't know how many experienced experts have failed to cure my orchid, and instead made it get worse. How can a yellow-haired girl like you who hasn't even graduated from school be better than those experienced experts?" The old man snorted and belittled Tang Shichu before reluctantly saying, "If it weren't for Liu Ting's introduction, I wouldn't even bother to talk to you. How can that ugly, fat succulent compare to my delicate orchid? Just because you can cure succulents doesn't mean you can cure orchids."

Liu Ting is Tang Shichu's regular customer. He is in his fifties and likes to grow succulents. However, he is a succulent killer. When he grows succulents, a large number of them will die. He often asks Tang Shichu to save his succulents.

Tang Shichu chuckled and said, "Succulents and orchids are indeed two completely unrelated species, but they are both a type of garden plant. It just so happens that I have some knowledge of both. I can guarantee that even if I can't cure your orchid, it won't get worse. At worst, I can give it a few more months of life."

"Really?" The old man was very skeptical. "Xiao Lan is my most cherished and proud flower. If you damage her, I will not forgive you. You regret it now, but it is not too late to leave here."

Tang Shichu shook his head, "Since I dare to say it, I will keep my word and I am sure I can cure it."

"However, the disease of your orchid is difficult to cure. It will take at least half a month to see improvement. If you are at ease, just give this flower to me. I will give you a vibrant orchid in half a month." Tang Shichu continued.

"You still want to take my flowers away? Can't you just stay at my place?" The old man frowned, very unhappy, "Xiao Lan is my sweetheart, I will not feel at ease if I can't see it for a day. No, I can't give it to you, you stay."

When Tang Shichu saw this, he said bluntly, "Forget it, you should ask for someone else." Then he was about to leave.

The old man was fooled by her straightforward attitude and asked, "If I hand Xiaolan over to you, will you promise to make her alive and well?"

"I promise." Tang Shichu answered without hesitation. Although the old man's orchid was rare, there were many orchids of the same variety in Tang Shichu's space that were more rare and valuable than this one. If it really couldn't be cured, she could also give him a better one.

Of course, Tang Shichu didn’t think that he would not be able to cure this little orchid.

Seeing that Tang Shichu spoke so confidently, the old man had no choice but to give the flowers to her no matter how reluctant he was. After all, he had asked so many people to cure her before and none of them could cure her. This time he really had no choice but to give it a try.

"You have to send me videos every day so that I can check on Xiaolan through the videos." The old man reminded him, "Otherwise I will be worried."

"Okay." Tang Shichu agreed to the old man's request generously. The one who paid the money has the final say, not to mention that he paid a lot of money.

The servant led Tang Shichu out of the door holding the flowers, and the same driver took her home again.
