Chapter 193: You bastard!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bihua immediately asked in a nervous tone, "Tianqi, what has gotten into you? Our two families have had a friendship for so many years; how can you just cut ties like this?"

Shi Tianqi said earnestly, "Sister-in-law, Brother Xiao helped me back in the day. You should know that for all these years, I have repaid the Xiao family without asking for anything in return. I, Shi, am a man who knows how to repay kindness."

"That goes without saying!" Xiao Bihua said in a panic. "But what is the reason for you wanting to make a clean break with our Xiao family? If I, an old woman, have done something wrong, just say it, and I will certainly do my best to correct it!"

Shi Tianqi said, "Sister-in-law, it is not your problem, but the problem of your son, Xiao Yiqian."

"Yiqian?" Xiao Bihua said in surprise. "What happened to him? Did he offend you? But he is in Jin Ling right now!"

"I am also in Jin Ling," Shi Tianqi said earnestly. "I met Xiao Yiqian. He didn't really offend me, but he offended my benefactor. This benefactor has given me a new lease on life. Therefore, out of gratitude to my benefactor, I have no choice but to draw a line with the Xiao family. I hope you will forgive me, sister-in-law."

Xiao Bihua's heart skipped a beat.

Her own son had actually angered Shi Tianqi in Jin Ling? What a bastard! Shi Tianqi was a famous master of traditional Chinese medicine in the country. Countless super-important figures sought his treatment when they fell ill. In the circle of the powerful in Yan Jing, a saying often circulated: "If the King of Hell wants you to die at the third watch, Shi Tianqi can keep you until the fifth watch!"

This meant that even if someone were on the verge of death, as long as Shi Tianqi took action, they could live for a while longer. To the elite, this was simply a dream come true!

In his final years, the Macau gambling tycoon, Mr. He, had been using all sorts of high-tech means in the hospital to extend his life. It was said that he spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the hospital every year. But to him, what were hundreds of millions? They were far less precious than life itself!

If life were to come to an abrupt end, what use would it be even if you had billions in assets? Wouldn't it all just be burned to ashes and kept in a small wooden box?

Therefore, the more powerful one was, the more they would curry favor with Shi Tianqi.

There wasn't a single powerful family in Yan Jing that didn't envy the Xiao family. The reason was that they were family friends with Shi Tianqi. Others might be willing to give up their entire fortune and still not necessarily be able to get Shi Tianqi to come for a consultation. But because the Xiao family was on good terms with Shi Tianqi, he would visit them almost every year to examine and treat everyone in the family, making countless people green with envy.

Xiao Bihua's husband, who was Xiao Yiqian's father, had been diagnosed with cancer over a decade ago.

If it hadn't been for Shi Tianqi doing everything in his power to keep him alive, how could he have lived until last year?

When the old master passed away, he was eighty-six years old—a longevity that even healthy people would envy.

Xiao Bihua had been pinning her hopes on Shi Tianqi to help her live into her nineties, or even past a hundred. She never expected that Shi Tianqi would suddenly want to make a clean break with her family. This made her extremely nervous, and she blurted out a plea: "Tianqi, don't hold it against Yiqian. After all, he is your junior. If he offended you in some way, please be forgiving. I will call him later, give him a good scolding, and make him go to you immediately to apologize..."

Shi Tianqi said indifferently, "Sister-in-law, there is no need. If he had offended me, I would certainly forgive him. But he offended my great benefactor, so you don't need to say anything more about this. I will not change my mind. I hope you stay healthy and live a long life. Goodbye!"

After saying this, Shi Tianqi hung up the phone immediately, turned it off, and said to Chen Xiaozhao, "Close the door, we're going back to the hotel."

On the other side, Xiao Yiqian rode in Xiao Changqian's car and returned to the Xiao family villa.

As soon as he returned to the villa, he poured a glass of water in the living room on the first floor, took out the Viagra, looked at the instructions, and said, "Do you take one pill at a time?"

Seeing him take out this kind of medicine, Old Mrs. Xiao felt a bit embarrassed.

Beside her, Xiao Changqian's wife, Qian Hongyan, was too embarrassed to even look.

Although Xiao Weiwei didn't say anything, her expression was full of anticipation.

Ever since Xiao Yiqian lost that ability, his attitude toward her had become very poor.

Not to mention giving her pocket money, even the promised follow-up investments had gone nowhere.

Now it seemed that only by letting Xiao Yiqian quickly regain his masculine prowess could she continue to get benefits from him.

Otherwise, Xiao Yiqian would definitely abandon her, and perhaps even the entire Xiao family.

Up to now, the ten million invested by Xiao Yiqian was only enough to keep the Xiao Group afloat; it was far from enough to return the group to its peak.

Xiao Changqian accompanied him with a smile and said, "One pill at a time is enough; it's very potent."

"Hmm." Xiao Yiqian nodded. Then, he took three pills from the blister pack and swallowed them in one gulp.

He hoped that this imported Western medicine would be effective, so he said to Xiao Weiwei, "Weiwei, come upstairs with me."

Xiao Weiwei nodded hurriedly, came over to take Xiao Yiqian's arm, and said fawningly, "Darling, let's go back to the room and try again."

Xiao Yiqian grunted, pulled Xiao Weiwei into the room, and then told her to use all her skills to help him find his confidence.

But unfortunately, Xiao Weiwei fussed for a long time, yet these pills were of no use at all!

Xiao Yiqian swallowed three more pills, but still couldn't find the slightest feeling.

This immediately plunged his mood into the depths of despair.

Seeing Xiao Weiwei still trying to entice him, he became furious, kicked her off the bed, and roared, "I don't need you here, get out!"

Xiao Weiwei was afraid that Xiao Yiqian would get angry at her, so she hurriedly said, "Darling, don't be too anxious. I believe we will find a way to cure you soon!"

"Get out!" Xiao Yiqian roared irritably and threw a pillow directly at Xiao Weiwei.

Xiao Weiwei didn't dare to stay and provoke him, so she hurriedly wrapped herself in her clothes and rushed out.

Xiao Yiqian lay on the bed alone, trembling with rage.

A successful man, after reaching the peak of his life, looks forward most to enjoying the charms of countless beauties.

But once he loses that ability, wouldn't all these beauties have nothing to do with him?

He could not accept it!

Just as he was seething with rage, his phone suddenly rang.

It was his mother calling.

Xiao Yiqian hurriedly answered the phone and asked respectfully, "Mom, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Xiao Bihua scolded on the other end of the phone, "You bastard! Are you trying to kill me? Do you want me to fail to make it past my eighty-fourth year?"

Xiao Yiqian asked hurriedly, "Mom, what are you talking about? How could I harm you?"

"Bullshit!" Xiao Bihua blurted out, "I'm asking you, how did you offend Shi Tianqi? He wants to make a clean break with our family now. Do you know how big a loss this is for our family?!"
