Chapter 203: God is jealous of beauty

Upon hearing this, Ye Bufan asked, "You said there was a medical hall for sale right now; it wouldn't happen to be Xinglin Garden, would it?"

Qin Chuchu said, "That's right, Xinglin Garden is for sale, and I think it's perfect for you to take over."

Ye Bufan asked, "What's the price?"

"The asking price is 50 million."

"That's a bit high."

Ye Bufan said.

Although he wasn't short 50 million now, he still felt the price was quite high. One must know that 50 million in Jiangnan City was enough to buy the most luxurious villa.

"It's not high; it's actually low."

Qin Chuchu said, "Xinglin Garden was passed down by the Lu family's ancestors and has a history of over 300 years. Among the three Great Masters of Jiangnan, its history is the most ancient.

Similarly, Xinglin Garden's scale is much larger than Huichun Pavilion and Baicao Hall, and its location is excellent, right in the heart of the bustling city.

To say nothing else, the land it stands on alone is worth over 100 million chinese yuan, so 50 million is not expensive; it's very cheap."

"Oh!" Ye Bufan said, "Since it's so cheap, it should have been snapped up already. Is it still not too late for us to go now?"

"Listen to me slowly. Buying Xinglin Garden isn't that easy."

Qin Chuchu said, "Lu Qingzhi has been seeking Medical skill all over the country for so many years, but he hasn't been able to cure his daughter. He recently heard that a mental rehabilitation center in M Country is very good at treating mental illnesses, and the estimated cost is around 50 million.

To treat his daughter, he had no choice but to decide to sell Xinglin Garden.

However, he has conditions for selling Xinglin Garden. First, whoever buys Xinglin Garden must continue to operate it as a traditional Chinese Medical skill clinic and is not allowed to engage in other industries.

Second, Xinglin Garden is not allowed to be renamed after the takeover.

Third, the recipient must pass his test. If their Medical skill does not meet the standard, he will not sell."

Ye Bufan sighed, "These conditions are quite strict."

Qin Chuchu said, "Yes, Lu Qingzhi is very conflicted. He wants to sell it for money to send his daughter abroad for treatment, but at the same time, he doesn't want his ancestors' Legacy to end with him. That's why he came up with such a compromise for the sale.

However, he has an additional condition: no matter who it is, as long as they can cure Lu Banxia, Xinglin Garden will be handed over immediately, free of charge."

Ye Bufan said, "You know a lot about the Lu family's situation."

"Lu Huaian used to be good friends with my grandfather.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The two families used to have close ties.

It's just that since Lu Huaian's death these past few years, they've drifted apart a bit, but their relationship is still good, and I know a lot about their family's situation."

Qin Chuchu said, "I think with your Medical skill, even if you can't cure Lu Banxia, you can at least pass Lu Qingzhi's test, which makes you perfectly suited to take over Xinglin Garden."

"That's a good idea." Ye Bufan nodded and said, "Since you're so familiar with the Lu family, what's Banxia's situation? How did she get this madness? Was it Innate or did she experience some huge mental trauma Acquired?"

Qin Chuchu said, "Of course it's not genetic. The Lu family has practiced Medical skill for generations, and every generation has been incredibly healthy; no one has ever suffered from madness.

As for mental trauma, that's out of the question. Lu Banxia was beautiful from a young age, a favored daughter of heaven, known as the 'Little Genius of Chinese Medical skill' in the Jiangnan Medical skill community, and highly admired by Old Man Lu Huaian.

She has great talent in Chinese Medical skill. At the age of 5, she could recite medical formulas backward. At 10, she could identify all traditional Chinese medicinal materials. At 16, she obtained her medical license and could independently treat patients.

That's not all. Lu Banxia had great ambitions from a young age, wanting to promote Xinglin Garden.

At the age of 17, she went to Harvard University in M Country to study business administration, intending to develop Xinglin Garden using modern economic management models.

She studied at Harvard University for three years, ranking first in her major every year. Even before graduating, several large multinational companies offered her high-paying positions.

But Lu Banxia's ambition was to develop Chinese Medical skill, so she rejected all of them.

Over the years, both domestically and internationally, the number of men who pursued her was countless, but she rejected them all, not finding a single one appealing.

For someone like her, it would be good if she didn't strike others down; she herself has no weaknesses to be struck down."

Ye Bufan said, "So excellent, indeed very difficult to be struck down by others."

Qin Chuchu sighed and then said, "Unfortunately, heaven is jealous of beautiful women. When Old Man Lu Huaian passed away, Lu Banxia returned from M Country to attend her grandfather's funeral.

But within a few days of her return, she suddenly suffered from madness, and now she has become neither human nor ghost, long losing the appearance of the Genius girl she once was."

Ye Bufan frowned and asked, "How did she go mad?"

Qin Chuchu said, "I heard she was fine the night before, slept through the night, and by the next morning, she had completely become a madwoman, hitting anyone she saw, even

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

she didn't recognize Lu Huaian."

Ye Bufan said, "Let's go, we'll take a look. Perhaps I can cure this illness."

He felt that there was something sinister about Lu Banxia, perhaps it wasn't a common illness.

However, now that Chinese Medical skill is in decline, and there are even fewer Chinese Medical skill practitioners who can treat unusual illnesses, no one is more skilled in this area than he, a Master of Arcane Arts.

Under Qin Chuchu's guidance, the two drove to what was once Xinglin Garden.

As mentioned before, Xinglin Garden is located in the bustling center of Jiangnan City, and it occupies a very large area, at least over 1,000 square meters.

This old mansion adopted a traditional architectural style, divided into three courtyards. The first courtyard served as the main hall and pharmacy, the second courtyard had six wards for severely ill patients to stay and observe, and the third courtyard also had six rooms, serving as a private residence.

However, passed down to today, Xinglin Garden looks very dilapidated. Not only are the walls mottled and cracked, but the ground is also uneven, giving it a desolate feeling.

Such a large courtyard combined with this scene meant that timid people wouldn't dare to live here. If they were filming a ghost movie, they wouldn't even need a set.

After parking the car in front of the gate, they saw that the courtyard door was ajar. After knocking a few times with no response, the two pushed the door open and walked in.

Qin Chuchu called out, "Is Uncle Lu home?"

The first two courtyards were silent, overgrown with weeds, with an occasional mouse scurrying by, looking incredibly desolate.

Qin Chuchu couldn't help but sigh, "When I was little, I often came to Xinglin Garden to play. Back then, it was bustling with people, and those who came to see a doctor would form long queues. I never thought it would one day fall into such disrepair."

After passing through the two courtyards, they suddenly heard a fierce argument. The two quickened their steps and arrived at the back hall, where they saw a middle-aged man arguing with a fat man.

The middle-aged man was wearing a worn-out long robe, his face covered in a beard, and his hair was like straw, looking extremely decadent and down-and-out. He was Lu Qingzhi, the owner here.

Standing opposite him was a corpulent fat man, dressed in a designer suit with a large gold chain around his neck and a large gold watch on his wrist, looking like a nouveau riche. It was none other than Zhao Dafu, who had once kept Huang Xiaoli as his mistress.

He shouted, "I say, Old Man, are you out of your mind? You're selling it for 50 million, I'm giving you 100 million, what's there not to sell?

If you still think the price is low, I'll add another 20 million. How about 120 million?"
