Chapter 415 - Kang Marriage

A smack sounded as Zhaoming slapped his thigh, standing up excitedly . "Brilliant! What a brilliant set of words!!! Zhaoming, what you're saying is indeed logical- if even urine can be medicine, why not p.o.o.p?"

"That's right ,grandpa! Don't people always say stinky dog s.h.i.+t? That proves that dog s.h.i.+t is stinky, and that means n.o.body tried eating it before, because of the stench!" Zhaoming said . "But, it's possible that some people accidentally discovered the secret within dog p.o.o.p, and made this Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing medicine . It's actually really possible that dog s.h.i.+t is a component!"

"Zhaoming's making valid points, grandpa!" Zhaolong wouldn't let Zhaoming hog all of the spotlight- he used to be the excellent Kang, the one with most potential and the brightest future! He had to interject here . "I think the same way, grandpa! It's the same as the stone that forms inside a dog's gallbladder- it's valuable to us, but that stone in some other animal's gallbladder is nothing more than tras.h.!.+ In a dog it becomes a treasure all of a sudden, so I think that just because it's dog s.h.i.+t doesn't mean it has to be trash- it makes sense that it's the main component of the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing!"

"You're right, Zhaolong, that makes sense too!" Miracle Doctor Kang nodded . "The two of you really make me proud- I'm so glad that the Kangs have you two brothers to bring it to further glory! If we manage to produce this Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, you two would be the primary contributors, and I'll give you two huge shares!"

"Thank you, grandpa!" Zhaolong and Zhaoming were quite pleased- it took only a couple sentences and they'd soon have the shares for the new medicine product! It was too easy .

"Alright, Zhaolong- you arrange for some men to gather dog s.h.i.+t, we'll do an experiment!" Miracle Doctor Kang instructed . "We'll start manufacturing Pills of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing as soon as possible, strengthening the Kang name! Golden Creation would look much smaller compared to this project!"

"No problem, grandpa, I'll arrange that right away! We need to finalize this as soon as we can!" Zhaolong nodded in response .

"Perfect!" Miracle Doctor Kang said . "Also, something really important I have to talk to you about, regarding your marriage, Zhaolong!"

"Marriage? What do you mean?" Zhaolong blinked . "I don't even have a girlfriend, why're we talking about marriage?"

Zhaolong was quite different from Zhaoming- Zhaoming was a playboy who changed his women as frequently as he ate rice, but Zhaolong wasn't like that . As the third generation Kang elite, he had too many hopes pinned on him . As much as he'd like to get a girlfriend and fall in love, he himself was a man with burning ambition as well . For that, he sacrificed love decisively and gave up on even girls he was interested in .

He invested all of his efforts into studying medicine, and because of those efforts, was now studying for a PhD . He wouldn't have progressed so smoothly if it weren't for that hard work, and everything he had was due to it- he never used House Kang's influence at all!

This was also why Miracle Doctor Kang valued him so much, but this talk about him getting married took him by surprise . Where did this even come from?

"Haha, it's fine if you don't have a boyfriend, I've made a decision for you- the girl's really beautiful, too, from a powerful family . What do you say, Zhaolong?" Miracle Doctor Kang asked .

"I… Isn't this a little too soon? Grandpa, I still haven't gotten my PhD yet…" Zhaolong wasn't sure what to say- it just felt too rushed .

"It's not at all! You're studying for a PhD already- a lot of people bring their children when they study for a PhD! When I was your age I already had your second uncle!" Miracle Doctor Kang waved his hand . "Zhaolong, you need to understand that it's a marriage between two large houses- this is vital to our place in the high society! We Kangs may have become famous using Golden Creation these couple years, but we're still just a business family with a miracle recipe . People may have given me the miracle doctor t.i.tle, but that's just out of respect- Grandpa isn't a miracle doctor at all . So, for the Kang family to go higher as one of the powerful houses, we'll have to work hard and also make marriages with other houses!"

"Of course, the more powerful families wouldn't be interested in us, and they wouldn't bother making a marriage between our houses, but there are some families who've fallen that are plenty willing to do so! As fallen as they are, they were still once powerful houses with a certain extent of influence and name . As long as we join together, the Kangs would only go higher!"

"I'll leave everything to grandpa then!" Zhaolong nodded after some hesitation . If this was the case, then his marriage with that house would help further his career, and it'd make him a hero of the Kangs as well . It was surely something that'd benefit him when his position in the Kang family rose along with House Kang's place in high society- Zhaolong didn't hesitate for long . "What house is it, grandpa?"

"House Xiao, of Yanjing!" Miracle Doctor said . "Their Elder Xiao wasn't the smartest when he got older, and signed a couple of very damaging contracts, losing the majority of the Xiaos' a.s.sets . The Xiao brothers are hard pressed, and for the sake of maintaining the Xiao's family's name, decided to bond with another house using marriage . "

Miracle Doctor Kang left one part out, and that was the fact that House Kang wanted to rise to the list of absolutes, the strongest houses- this was a perfect match .

"Alright, I'm fine with it . " Zhaolong nodded, giving his consent .

"Alright, if you agree then here's a picture of the girl I've brought for you . Take a look, if she's alright I'll start with the betrothal gift!" Miracle Doctor Kang said . "Then we'll find a day and host the wedding, settle everything down and at the same time, heighten our family's fame! House Xiao may not have any money anymore, but their connections in the business world are still intact . Our medicine business will be able to utilize those connections and expand to larger scale . "

"Alright! Grandpa, I'll let you arrange everything!" Zhaolong nodded . Whether the girl was pretty or not didn't matter anymore, the most important thing here was that this marriage would cement his place in the Kang family . If she weren't pretty then he'd make do, but if she was, then it'd be a nice bonus .

"Here's her picture . If you're satisfied then go contact and interact with her yourself first- you young people should have some things in common to start off with!" Miracle Doctor handed Zhaolong the picture as he spoke . "She uses an outside surname, but the girl's father isn't a n.o.body either . He owns a chain medicine company in Songshan, coincidentally in our field!"

Zhaolong was overjoyed at the information- even the girl's family was strong as well, and this only meant a bonus boost for him, his place in the Kang house would soar! He took over the picture, initially planning to take a quick look only to find his eyes stuck on it .

The picture had been taken casually, but the girl's looks stood out from the crowd- she had a fresh and refined face, and it attracted Zhaolong instantly! He never expected such a beautiful fiance!

He stared at the girl with a blank look on his face .

Chapter 416 - About Lin Yi

"Cousin, let me help you take a look!" Zhaoming edged over curiously, interested to see what his future sis-in-law looked like- he took one look and it was obvious to him that his brother had hit the jackpot! It sure was unfortunate that he wasn't the one doing the marriage! "Bro, you're really lucky! I've been with countless women in my life, and this here is a top tier girl! Among the girls I know only that Tang Yin's on her level, except that Xiaobo's friend got to her before I did, d.a.m.n!"

The whole family knew what sort of person Zhaoming was- they only smiled at his comments . Zhaolong, on the other hand, was extremely happy! If even this playboy cousin of his was saying that then this was a G.o.ddess he was looking at!

"Don't worry, we'll find you someone good too one day!" Zhaolong said to Zhaoming . "But you have it better than I do- I'm sticking with just this one for the rest of my life, but you've had so many already!"

"Haha, that's true…" Zhaoming's smile was full of pride instead of shame .

But Zhaoming's playboy behavior wasn't anything much anymore compared to his contributions to the family- neither Miracle Doctor Kang nor the rest of the family felt that this was a problem anymore! After all, Zhaoming was young, and full of energy… this was only natural!

Zhaolong was a model student, and Zhaoming was a charismatic playboy- an interesting addition to the family indeed .

Feng Xiaoxiao charged into the clothing store soaked- people looked at her oddly as she bought herself an entire set of clothes before driving to the nearest hotel for a hot shower . She changed into the new clothes and went back to school, very p.i.s.sed off .

Everything had went south on her first day, and that upsetted her . She didn't want to spare Lin Yi, but it was a fact that she had no idea of what his capabilities were . He seemed to be quite fit, and his reaction time was extremely fast as well- he'd also noticed her when she was sneaking up on him!

This explained why both Ruoming and Pinliang couldn't handle him .

It was evident from his status as Mengyao's bodyguard, too- he had to be good for Pengzhan to hire him as bodyguard .

As things stood, she need to understand Lin Yi completely before making the next move, or she'd just get her a.s.s handed to her again! At that thought she decided to go ask Ruoming and Pinliang about Lin Yi .

Both Pinliang and Xiaofu had just changed into new clothes after Xiaoxiao returned- they'd been kneeling in the bathroom all day, and their pants were terribly dirty .

"Lil sis Xiaoxiao…" As unwilling as Pinliang was, he'd b.u.mped into Xiaoxiao at the school gate- he couldn't just pretend he didn't see her, as things would just get worse .

"The two of you come over here!" Xiaoxiao pointed at Pinliang, her tone cold .

Pinliang and Xiaofu's hearts tensed up- did Lin Yi break the promise and tell Xiaoxiao everything? The possibility horrified the duo as they carefully walked up to Xiaoxiao, trying their best to smile . "Lil sis Xiaoxiao, how can we help? What happened earlier, it's not our fault… We wouldn't know that Lin Yi would turn around all of a sudden…"

"I'm not here to talk about that!" Xiaoxiao frowned, displeased . She was trying not to bring this up, but this Pinliang wasn't doing that! What was he trying to do, was he trying to shame her?

"Uh… Then what are you here to talk about, lil sis Xiaoxiao…" Pinliang let out a breath of relief after Xiaoxiao's words, but was still terrified nonetheless . He'd messed up and mentioned Xiaoxiao's embarra.s.sing moment, something he shouldn't handle so irresponsibly . Of course she'd get p.i.s.sed off if he brought that up!

"Go call Ruoming over, I have something to talk to you about!" Xiaoxiao ordered .

"Uh… Alright, I'll go get him now!" Xiaofu volunteered bravely . He was Pinliang's lackey, his runner- this wasn't an errand Pinliang should be doing himself!

Ruoming was actually quite easy to locate- he was almost always playing basketball in the field, and Xiaofu spotted him immediately .

"Ming Bro! Ming Bro, over here!" Xiaofu called out to Ruoming .

"What is it?" Ruoming was about to make a slam dunk when Xiaofu surprised him, making him lose grip of the ball . He wasn't too pleased . "What's so important, can't it wait until I finish this game?"

"Lil sis Xiaoxiao's looking for you…" Xiaofu said .

"f.u.c.k, why didn't you say so!" Ruoming ran over right away, his face tense . "You two idiots, after p.i.s.sing lil sis Xiaoxiao off you're dragging me along with you into that mess! What kind of brothers are you?"

Ruoming was aware of Xiaoxiao's little misfortune that morning- Pinliang didn't give too many details, but it was quite evident that Xiaoxiao had been the one to suffer . Ruoming wasn't too keen on meeting Xiaoxiao with that information in mind .

"It's fine, lil sis Xiaoxiao isn't talking about that . Don't bring it up, too! I think she just wants to ask us about Lin Yi, you'll understand if you come . " Xiaofu said . "Let's go, don't keep lil sis Xiaoxiao waiting!"

"Alright, let's go!" Ruoming nodded and headed to the school gate with Xiaofu .

Xiaoxiao brought the group to a cafe near the school . She spared the bulls.h.i.+t and got right into the main topic . "Why don't you guys tell me about Lin Yi? You should be aware of my loss to him this morning- he doesn't seem like an ordinary guy, does he?"

"Uh…" Ruoming looked at Pinliang and Xiaofu . Naturally, the varying degrees of humiliation and nightmares Lin Yi had unleashed upon them weren't things they were very keen on sharing .

"What, you don't wanna share?" Xiaoxiao frowned .

"N-No! That's not it…" Pinliang and Xiaoxiao were in the same cla.s.s, and they'd always see each other- he had to tread lightly here . "I'll talk, I'll speak first . Lin Yi's first day at school he kicked me into the ground, and I got p.i.s.sed so I wanted revenge… But…"

And so, Pinliang started telling Xiaoxiao about his story with Lin Yi, about how Heibao came to school and got stepped on by Lin Yi…

"So you're saying even a real gangster isn't a match for him?" Xiaoxiao was surprised- she'd guessed that Lin Yi was strong just from him pus.h.i.+ng a car with one arm, but she wasn't expecting a level of strength that'd even wreck an armed gangster like that .

Naturally, Pinliang didn't mention Heibao's golden cla.s.s experience- she'd be even more shocked if he told her how Heibao still couldn't stand up to Lin Yi after that power up .

"That's right, that's why I'm in such a pinch! When you said it was him who threw the bottle I shut up right away, and I had to! I'd be lucky if Lin Yi didn't come mess with me, let alone me p.i.s.sing him off! Often he'd just come and give me a kick when he feels like it; it's so frustrating!" Pinliang said helplessly .

Yeah . . . on mobile tonight, ugly links . Mom is nowhere to be seen and me and my bro are stuck away from home
