Zhao Xishun's illness was very serious, and he had long since reached the point of being terminally ill.
If it weren't for Huang Zhu's life force supporting him, the old man wouldn't have survived until now.
Such a serious illness would require a great deal of effort from Lin Yu to treat.
Lin Yu used the Nine Heavens Yama Needle, expending thirty percent of his power, and finally stabilized Zhao Xishun's life.
Then he prescribed another remedy, instructing the Zhao sisters to take it back and treat the old man.
Zhao Linlin did as she was told and handed the yellow pearl to Lin Yu.
He also expressed his deepest gratitude to Lin Yu, bowing his head in thanks.
"We, the Zhao family, will never forget Dr. Lin's great kindness and virtue. If Dr. Lin gives us any instructions in the future, our Zhao family will do our utmost to help him!" Zhao Linlin bowed her head to the ground, extremely sincere.
Lin Yu waved his hand, "I saved the old man only for Huang Zhu's sake. We each get what we need, there's no need for this!"
After Lin Yu finished speaking, he walked out directly.
Then Wang Pingzhi ordered his men to process the release procedures for the Zhao family. A moment later, the family got into a minivan.
Looking at her sleeping grandfather, Zhao Linlin's eyes were filled with complex emotions.
"Grandpa, I'm so sorry. It was all my fault for misjudging people and bringing trouble upon myself with Wang Cong! From now on, I, Zhao Linlin, will focus on running the pawnshop and will never again discuss matters between men and women!"
Thinking back on the crisis that had befallen the Zhao family, Zhao Linlin felt a wave of fear. If it weren't for Wang Cong's involvement, which was like letting a wolf into the house, the Zhao family wouldn't have gotten into such a mess.
This experience completely extinguished her desire for sexual relations.
Zhao Qiqi advised, "No, sister! There are plenty of good men in the world. Don't let Wang Cong make you stay single for life. Besides, Grandpa won't agree to it. He's been wanting to have a grandson for a long time!"
Zhao Linlin smiled bitterly, her eyes filled with a melancholy. "A good man? What's good, what's bad? How can you tell the difference? These days, getting married is like winning the lottery. Some men are one way before marriage and another way after! I've met a few, like Wang Cong. I had a great time chatting with him, and I thought he was a very nice and cultured person. But what happened? For a little bit of money, he actually did something so depraved! It's terrifying. Men are just too terrifying!"
You can tell she was genuinely terrified this time.
Zhao Qiqi pursed her lips and said, "Sister, don't lose faith. There are still many excellent men in this world, like that Lin..."
"You mean Dr. Lin?" Zhao Linlin was stunned for a moment, and her pretty face flushed red.
She said softly, "Dr. Lin is indeed a good doctor, but he wouldn't even look at me. Didn't you see how respectful Director Wang is to him, and what do his subordinates call him? Young Marshal! In the entire Feng Prefecture, the only one who dares to address him like that is probably..."
Zhao Linlin hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
She only wanted to find a son-in-law to live with her family and continue the Zhao family line.
What kind of family was the Governor's Mansion?
The Zhao family is just a nouveau riche in Xidu. Do you really intend to have their young marshal become your son-in-law?
That's just wishful thinking!
Zhao Qiqi shook her head. "Sister, think about it differently! Why do you have to find a son-in-law to live with you? You want to find a son-in-law just to protect the Zhao family's business and status! Once you become the young marshal's wife, which of those old guys will dare to mess with the Zhao family? And with the support of the governor's mansion, our business will only grow bigger and bigger, and we might even become one of the top families in Fengfu! You've always been smarter than me since you were little, so think long-term!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Linlin's beautiful eyes lit up, as if she had discovered a new continent, and she looked at her younger sister.
"Qiqi, I haven't noticed, but you haven't grown taller in the past two years, though you've certainly grown a lot more cunning!"
Zhao Qiqi blushed and said, "I'm only thinking about your marriage prospects, sister, and besides, I think he's a pretty good person!"
Zhao Linlin shook her head and sighed softly, "You're overthinking it! I've met a lot of men over the years, and I can tell what kind of man he is at a glance. This young marshal Lin has absolutely no interest in me. I don't have anything that attracts him at all! Besides, he's never short of outstanding women around him, and I don't have any advantages!"
Zhao Qiqi quickly encouraged her, "Sis! Don't be discouraged. People need time to get to know each other. If you hit it off right after meeting, that's not love at first sight, that's lust! Maybe you'll develop feelings for each other as you get to know each other better! But we need to create some opportunities first!"
"Create opportunities?" Zhao Linlin's eyes lit up.
Suddenly I realized that what my sister said made a lot of sense.
However, aside from her grandfather's affairs, she and Lin Yu had absolutely no interaction, so how could she create an opportunity?
Zhao Qiqi smiled slightly and said, "People from families like theirs are no longer interested in money; they only care about their reputation! Didn't Grandpa say he wanted to build a charity hospital? Let's build this hospital in the name of the young marshal, and then let him serve as the honorary president. Once our charity hospital is built, we can invite him to cut the ribbon. He will definitely look at our Zhao family with new eyes. Then, your opportunity will come, sister!"
Zhao Linlin's beautiful eyes lit up. That's right! How come she didn't think of that!
Charitable hospitals are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and unprofitable; no family would do something so thankless.
Once the Zhao family handles this matter well, Doctor Lin will definitely look at them differently.
Having made up her mind, she immediately clapped her hands. "Okay! It's settled then. I'll start planning this as soon as I get back. The wealth our Zhao family has accumulated over the years is enough to build a top-tier charitable hospital. This is Grandpa's wish, and it's also our Zhao family's mission! We must do this well!"
