Chapter 112 Treating Illness
Uncle Zhou looked at Liu Wentian again, "Today you got lucky, but remember, don't come bothering my young miss anymore, or be careful, I'll break your damn legs!!"

"Uncle Zhou, you—!!" Han Guo was so angry her pretty face turned red, but she also knew Uncle Zhou was stubborn and would never listen to her explanations, so she could only glare at him fiercely.
"Uncle, don't mind Uncle Zhou, just give me your phone number, and remember to call me often," Han Guo said to Liu Wentian with a bit of coquetry.
Uncle Zhou's brow furrowed, and he resolved to inform the old master as soon as he got back, insisting on forbidding the young miss from having any contact with this guy. He couldn't understand what methods this guy had used to deceive the young miss to such an extent.
Liu Wentian gave Han Guo his phone number and continued, "Don't worry, I can't be bothered to argue with him!! Your illness isn't completely healed yet. When I'm able to fully treat you, I'll come looking for you."
"Even if it's not for treatment, you can still come to see me anytime," Han Guo said, somewhat unhappily, "I like being with you!!"
Uncle Zhou couldn't stand it anymore and snorted coldly, "Miss, let's go, the old master must be worried sick!!"
Finally, although Han Guo was reluctant, she still followed Uncle Zhou and left.
Liu Wentian checked the time; it was already past 4 PM, time for him to head back to the company.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
By the time he reached the company, it was almost 6 PM, and Xie Xiaoyu was waiting for him in the bodyguard training room. After giving him the car keys, she hurriedly left as if she was afraid of staying with him for even a minute longer.
This made Liu Wentian somewhat depressed; things had been fine before, so why was she now avoiding him as if he had done something to offend her?? Was acting normal too much to ask these days??
Next, when Liu Wentian arrived at Bai Ruguo's office, he met someone he did not expect to see.
"Why are you here??"
Looking at the seductively charming and sensual Li He, Liu Wentian was puzzled. Bai Ruguo and she didn't seem to be on good terms; their last encounter was quite heated, and they were definitely not friends.
Li He didn't heed his question, but coquettishly said with a smile, "Little brother, seeing me, do you feel overjoyed, so happy you could burst??"
This woman, whenever asked a question, immediately counter-questions. Obviously, she was someone who liked to keep the initiative in her own hands, a typical strong woman style.
Liu Wentian was somewhat speechless being called "little brother." Han Guo had just called him uncle, and now he was being called little brother. Were the women nowadays all this peculiar?? Couldn't they act a bit more normal??
"What's there to be happy about? How did you end up here??" he retorted, then turned to look at Bai Ruguo who was sitting down, "Ruge, she's not here to cause you trouble, is she??"
To Liu Wentian's surprise, Bai Ruguo was somewhat displeased and said, "Liu Wentian, Sister He is my guest, you should be more polite."
"Eh…" Bai Ruguo's attitude left Liu Wentian baffled. Wasn't it her who called Li He a vixen last time? Big sister, wasn't it you??
Seeing Liu Wentian speechless, Bai Ruguo said, "Sister He already told me everything. She only got to know you because of the Spiritual Formula you have for treating my face, and had no ill intentions. Moreover, she said she's willing to pay one billion for it. You, this guy, I didn't expect you to be such a money maker."
She then glared at Liu Wentian, "Don't give Sister He the cold shoulder; actually, she's quite pitiable. She's engaged to a man she doesn't like, and her fiancé Wu Hai is nothing but a scoundrel. Not only is he lecherous, but the Wu Family even secretly bought shares of Tiange Group; they're ambition-charged wolves in sheep's clothing, not good people at all!!
"Sister He said she's now so stressed she can't sleep at night, and if she really marries Wu Hai, her life would be over. Right now, the situation of Tiange Group is terrible. There are only two ways to get through this crisis: one is a large influx of funds, hence the engagement to Wu Hai, because only then would Xinghui Group invest. The other option is to find a new business opportunity."
"This so-called new business opportunity, it's my Jade Face Spirit, isn't it??" Liu Wentian said.
These words of Bai Ruguo's were clearly told to her by Li He, maybe they were true, but when Li He told her, she probably did so with great emotion, stirring the young lady's feelings.
Although Bai Ruguo is a big star, she has always been protected by Bai Zhongzhou and has a rather naïve mind. When confronted with a business juggernaut like Li He, she's like a little purple rabbit facing a big grey wolf, easily led by the nose.
Now, Li He's managed to arouse her sympathy, and she's actually helping to persuade herself on Li He's behalf!!
It must be said, Li He really has some good tactics!!
And Bai Ruguo, she truly is a young lady who gives her bodyguards trouble, huh!!
"Right, Wentian, why don't you just sell your Spiritual Formula to Sister He?? Her offer isn't low," Bai Ruguo urged.
Li He also looked at Liu Wentian with a pitiful face, the very image of someone hoping for compassion.
"I refuse. I said I won't sell it to her, and I won't," Liu Wentian said without hesitation, "I have my principles. What I've said, I won't take back."
"You... I didn't expect you to be such a stubborn old man!!" Bai Ruguo expressed some dissatisfaction.
A flicker of disappointment crossed Li He's face, but then she laughed coyly, "Let it be, Yaoyao. I indeed did some wrong things before Liu Wentian. I believe he will come to his senses eventually."
"Little brother, I came here to tell you something. Wu Hai is back, and you must be careful. I reckon he will come after you very soon," she turned to Liu Wentian with a serious face, "I know you're quite capable of defending yourself, but you should still be cautious. That guy is utterly ruthless; he's capable of doing anything!!"
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in provoking him, but if he comes looking for trouble, I'm more than willing to entertain him and see who will be crying in the end," Liu Wentian said, unconcerned.
Seeing Liu Wentian's indifferent attitude, Li He furrowed her brows, emphasizing again, "You really must be careful. That guy is seriously twisted. Once, he took a fancy to someone's girlfriend, not only did he claim her for himself, but he also chopped up the boyfriend's limbs and threw him into a manure pit. The man was tortured to death. He's nothing but a beast, yet in the end, he got away with it."
"Ah!!"
Bai Ruguo let out a horrified cry, her face turning purple. She knew Wu Hai was bad news and had done lots of terrible things, but she was still shocked to hear what Li He said; it was just too horrifying!!
"Wentian, you really must be careful. Or maybe I should get you a few bodyguards??" Bai Ruguo said frantically.
"Miss, I am a bodyguard myself; what do I need bodyguards for," Liu Wentian looked at his own young lady with disbelief, yet he still smiled, touched by the concern Bai Ruguo showed.
"Rest assured, he can't do much to me. If I can't even handle this kind of garbage second-generation rich kid, how can I be your bodyguard and protect your safety?"
Liu Wentian's eyes grew colder, "But, I really didn't realize that guy was such a scumbag!! Now, even if he doesn't come looking for trouble, if I happen to encounter him, I won't let him off easily!!"
All Bai Ruguo could do was nod, still looking worried, "If that's the case, then you must be extra careful in your daily life."
"Miss, should I take you home now??" Liu Wentian asked, "Or do you have other plans??"
Bai Ruguo hadn't spoken yet when Li He already cut in, "We are going shopping. Wentian, you should come with us; it's just what we need, a man to help carry things."
"Yeah, let's go shopping at the city center pedestrian street. I just so happen to want to buy some new clothes too," Bai Ruguo also said excitedly.
Liu Wentian's face fell, as he was rather averse to shopping. When women shopped, they seemed never to tire out. Last time he went with Sheng Qianmei, it had left him pretty frustrated.
