Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 522



 

Chapter 521 – Zhaolong’s Wickedness

“Panacea?” Zhaolong was taken aback, then understood his grandpa’s meaning. “That’s right, no girl hates being pretty! Accidental scars are unavoidable, less so on the body, but they’re bad on the face! This is where our Golden Creation will shine when the young misses find out there’s such miraculous medicine. They’ll surely try to obtain it to the best of their ability! Becoming a noble house isn’t far for us anymore!”

“That’s right! This is a golden opportunity. I was wondering how to put this to good use!” Miracle Doctor Kang smiled. “Relying on just Golden Creation isn’t enough, but you’ve gotten support from House Wu, so everything will be easier now! They have no choice but to accept us as a noble house!”

“Great!” Zhaolong was fired up. “OK, I can stop being on Xinyan’s good side now. Although she’s very attractive, House Xiao is just way too hopeless. To be precise, Xinyan isn’t part of House Xiao! If we successfully advance to noble house status, I could find a better candidate for us!”

“Not bad! You know what’s best for our family!” Miracle Doctor Kang complimented. “That’s my boy!”

“Grandpa, I’m the heir of House Kang. Needless to say, I have the responsibility to make the best decisions for the family!” Zhaolong said. “It’s just sad to let go of Xinyan. She’s stunning and fun to mess around with! Even though House Xiao is destitute, it’s still an old House. I can’t just have fun with her and run away; best to stay away from her!”

“Absolutely!” Miracle Doctor Kang nodded. “Speaking of, your little brother is really good at this. Although he’s messed with a lot of girls, none of them have important backgrounds and aren’t powerful enough to go against him, so things can be easily settled! It’s just that he’s spoiled!”

“Hehe, Grandpa, I personally think that his attitude isn’t a big issue at all!” Zhaolong said. “Some of the things we can’t do Zhaoming can!”

“Oh?” Miracle Doctor Kang blinked as he gave a doubting look at his eldest grandson. He didn’t understand what his grandson was getting at. “Zhaolong, are you afraid that Zhaoming will fight for the seat of the Head of House Kang?”

“Of course not!” Zhaolong smiled lightly. “If Zhaoming has the qualities of a leader and is the best candidate for the job, I would naturally let him do it without question! I will do anything for the best of House Kang, cross my heart, hope to die!”

Miracle Doctor Kang was fascinated by Zhaolong. This was the first time Zhaolong had opened up to him and talked about his ambition and future plans for House Kang.

“I’m very touched that you’re this open-minded. By the way, why is it not an issue?” Miracle Doctor Kang asked, interested.

“That Lin Yi isn’t an average guy! Although I haven’t found out his background yet, he’s on great terms with Miracle Doctor Guan and Lai Changyi!” Zhaolong replied. “Besides, Xuemin started a company and created the Pill of Life Extension and Toxic Cleansing out of nowhere! We don’t even know if he has more miraculous medicines up his sleeves. We’re under threat!”

“We are! Motherf*cker, just bringing it up makes me angry!” Miracle Doctor Kang was furious. “He’s learning from me and stealing our market!”

“Indeed, but I heard that Xuemin has a granddaughter, who looks pretty as well. She’s working in a hospital as a nurse, and she’s close in age to Zhaoming,” Zhaolong said softly.

“What you’re saying is…” Miracle Doctor Kang blinked. “You’re trying to make them a couple?”

“A couple? House Guan is not worthy. Others might think that Xuemin’s more reputable than House Kang, even more than you, Grandpa. But in my eyes, that old man is about to kick the bucket!” Zhaolong said disdainfully. “When that happens, House Guan will fall! Their prospering is just a dream!”

“You are seeing so far ahead. I hadn’t even thought of that!” Miracle Doctor Guan roared with laughter, “Haha, I was still worrying about that, but now I understand!”

“Yeah, so getting engaged to House Guan is out of the question, but before Xuemin bites the dust, let’s get Zhaoming to mess around with her granddaughter so that we can gain some insider info. Better still, we might get the Pill of Life Extension and Toxic Cleansing recipe from her!” Zhaolong explained.

“Oh? Does that work?” Miracle Doctor Kang’s eyes widened. He always thought that he was a wily and cunning man, but he just found out that his eldest grandson was the same!

“Why not? Zhaoming has always been an expert flirter. He’s never failed to get any of the girls he pursued. Let’s just leave this to him!” Zhaolong said. “If I really become the Head of House Kang and he completes his mission, I’ll gladly share half of the fortune to him!”

Miracle Doctor Kang nodded. After hearing his grandson’s opinion and thoughts, he was put at ease! Although House Kang was growing stronger day by day, Miracle Doctor Kang was afraid that Zhaolong and Zhaoming would fight over the position and sabotage the whole house!

After the conversation, Miracle Doctor Kang felt reassured about leaving the whole business to Zhaolong! “OK, we need to take a lot of precautions and deliberate; no mistakes can be made!”

“Yes, I’ve only mentioned the use of Zhaoming! In fact, almost every big family has one womanizer. Are they all ladykillers? Some might’ve been born that way, but some were raised to be womanizers!” Zhaolong explained. “And these Casanovas can do things normal people can’t do in the public!”

“Boy, you’re smart!” Miracle Doctor Kang nodded. “If a normal person acted like a philanderer, it would be extremely shameful to the family’s reputation. On the other hand, if it’s Zhaoming, people might not even care since he was born a rake! He’s done this countless times; doing it with Xuemin’s daughter would just show a little disrespect, that’s all!

“Hehe, Grandpa, that’s what I mean!” Zhaolong nodded.

“Mhm. Tomorrow, I’ll talk to House Yu’s people while you contact Chengtian. We’ll meet and discuss the upgrade with them!” Miracle Doctor Kang said excitedly.
