"Are you joking?"
Qin Yu felt that this woman was beyond reason.
"I have already made concessions, don't push your luck."
"What could someone like you possibly achieve staying in Nanzhou City?"
"With this one million, you can go back to your hometown, start a small business, and remarry to have children."
"To put it bluntly, if I ask Mr. Gao to help, he has countless ways to make you sign."
"Considering our marriage, I just don't want to take things to the extreme."
Feng Yu crossed her legs and sneered with commanding arrogance.
Qin Yu was furious, "Are you teaming up with your lover to go against me, your legitimate husband?"
Feng Yu was startled, then became furiously incensed, "Do you deserve to be called a husband?"
"I want brand names, luxury items, to buy all sorts of extravagant goods."
"I want to live in a villa, drive luxury cars, can you afford that?"
Feng Yu stared at Qin Yu with burning eyes, not a hint of guilt in her heart.
On the contrary, she felt it was all Qin Yu's fault.
Qin Yu was truly speechless at the absurdity of Feng Yu's values.
Yet Feng Yu continued to speak on her own accord, "He can help my brother land tens of millions in projects and take me to high society events."
"Can you, as this so-called legitimate husband, do that?"
"Since you can't, on what grounds do you wish to possess me?"
Her words pierced Qin Yu's heart like needles.
No matter how much he gave, how hard he worked, she only cared about the outcome.
Ultimately, poverty is the original sin.
She even blamed all her shameless, heartless, and even treacherous actions on his failure to make money.
Qin Yu shook his head in disappointment, "What you're saying now is something I can easily get."
"But I feel that you are not worthy of having it anymore."
Seeing Qin Yu's feigned poise, Feng Yu felt an even deeper loathing inside her.
She once thought that although Qin Yu was not impressive, he was at least down-to-earth.
Now a jobless idler, he still dared to speak such delusional big talk.
"Such words coming from someone like you are truly absurd and laughable."
"Sign now and you can get one million immediately; think about it carefully."
"Don't end up with absolutely nothing in the end."
Feng Yu left those cold words behind and turned to walk away.
Qin Yu felt a wave of desolation inside.
He really wanted to ask Feng Yu.
What had he done wrong to make her despise and hate him so much?
If Feng Yu had an ounce of affection for him, wouldn't push things to such an extreme.
They could have parted amicably.
So what if he gave her half of his assets?
Consider it compensation for her youth in these past years.
After all, she was once the woman Qin Yu loved deeply, his companion for several years.
But Feng Yu's actions deeply hurt Qin Yu, and the last bit of pity in his heart vanished like smoke.
"This time, I am going to bring your whole family down from the clouds to hell."
Qin Yu drove to Li Family Manor.
Looking around outside the manor, there were nothing but million-level luxury cars, and even from outside the manor, one could hear the bustling of voices within.
The manor was heavily guarded, with a dozen stern-faced security personnel standing at the entrance, and Qin Yu noticed dozens of hidden posts just by looking around.
Qin Yu had no choice but to call Li Ruiliang.
A moment passed.
A direct descendant of the Li Family rushed over, greeting Qin Yu respectfully.
Those assembled outside the manor were all astonished.
Many felt fortunate enough just to attend a Li Family event, and many there were simply following invited guests to get a glimpse of high society.
At that moment, seeing a young man being personally welcomed and led by a direct descendant of the Li Family, everyone felt immensely envious and were very curious about the man's identity.
A young scion of the Li Family escorted Qin Yu, avoiding the crowd inside the manor, and took a special narrow path to Elder Master Li's villa.
Inside the villa, only some of the Li Family's high-ranking members were present.
Family Head Li Ruiliang was among them.
Elder Master Li's complexion was surprisingly good, full of vitality, nothing like that of someone who had just recovered from a serious illness.
Upon seeing Qin Yu, Elder Master Li got up and greeted him with hearty cheerfulness.
He was indeed the picture of health, his face aglow with vitality.
However, looking at the spirited Elder Master Li, Qin Yu frowned.
Logically, an old man who had suddenly suffered a cerebral infarction could not have such vitality in just a couple of days.
"Elder Master Li, may I take your pulse?"
Qin Yu was somewhat uneasy.
"Of course, no problem."
Elder Master Li agreed readily.
After taking the pulse, Qin Yu's frown deepened, and he expressed his concern, "Elder Master Li, your qi and blood are a bit too vigorous, which could lead to serious complications."
Everyone present was shocked.
Elder Master Li was the sky of the Li Family, and they could not afford any mishaps with him at this point.
Li Ruiliang was even more anxious as he asked, "Mr. Qin, my father has been in such good spirits these past two days, how could that lead to serious complications?"
Qin Yu said, "Bring me a set of silver needles, I'll first help Elder Master Li unblock and regulate."
The attending old doctor hurriedly fetched his silver needles and after a thorough sterilization, handed them to Qin Yu for use.
Qin Yu quickly inserted the needles, exhibiting the utmost precision and stability—'fast, accurate, and steady' at its finest.
In a short time, he had inserted a full eighteen silver needles into Elder Master Li's body.
The eighteen silver needles seemed to form a mystical pathway, allowing the excessive qi and blood in Elder Master Li's body to circulate rapidly along this route, over and over again.
Only then did Qin Yu explain, "The bodily functions of the elderly are already severely diminished, and their meridians and blood vessels are extremely fragile; such strong qi and blood is actually detrimental."
"Such absurdity! I've been practicing medicine for decades, and this is the first time I've heard that stronger qi and blood is actually harmful," an elder stepped forward, hands behind his back, reproaching angrily as he approached.
The elder was dressed in a grand Tang suit, oozing grandeur, his eyes piercing as he stared at Qin Yu.
Qin Yu looked up, somewhat puzzled.
Li Ruiliang quickly explained to Qin Yu, "This is Master Liang Dongyue, a renowned doctor specially invited from the provincial city to care for my father."
Liang Dongyue wore a proud expression, clearly enjoying the respect from those around him, and he walked over and took a seat.
Li Ruiliang then said to Liang Dongyue, "Master Liang, this is Mr. Qin, the one who administered the life-saving acupuncture to my father the other day."
Liang Dongyue snorted coldly, "May I ask Mr. Qin, how many people have you treated?"
Qin Yu replied, "Elder Master Li was the first person I have treated."
Elder Master Li, Li Ruiliang, and the others could not help but be astonished.
It had been Qin Yu's first attempt at acupuncture.
Upon hearing this, Liang Dongyue regarded Qin Yu with contempt, flung his sleeve in anger, and rebuked, "Then you dare to administer needles on Elder Master Li so recklessly?"
"You should know that the method of Chinese medical acupuncture is all about stimulating acupoints, and the slightest deviation can lead to grave errors."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Elder Master Li and asked, "Elder Master Li, how do you feel now?"
Elder Master Li said with surprise and doubt, "I don't feel as vigorous as I did just before."
Liang Dongyue immediately glared at Qin Yu, angrily accusing, "What exactly are you up to?"
As he spoke, he swiftly removed the silver needles from Elder Master Li's body.
Qin Yu frowned, "Did you give Elder Master Li any herbal medicine to supplement his qi and blood?"
Liang Dongyue replied arrogantly, "You seem to have some insight."
"I have administered to Elder Master Li a formula known as Qi and Blood Powder, a family heirloom."
"It has the power to prolong life and enhance the body's vitality and qi and blood."
As he said this, he turned to Elder Master Li, "Elder Master Li, don't you find that these past two days, you've been feeling more vibrant and as if you've grown ten years younger?"
Elder Master Li nodded with a smile, "Indeed, just as Master Liang claimed."
The people of the Li Family all echoed their agreement.
For the past two days, everyone had witnessed the resurgence of Elder Master Li's energy, and they were very impressed with Master Liang.
