Chapter 204: I Don’t Want to Spend a Penny

Although Zhao Dafu looked like a pig, he was very intelligent; otherwise, he wouldn't have built this fortune from scratch.

He had long set his sights on the land of Xinglin Garden. If it could be developed into a shopping mall, wealth would surely flow in. By then, let alone a land price of 100 million, even 200 million, he could still make a fortune.

Because of this, he had already come here several times, but Lu Qingzhi had rejected him without hesitation.

Lu Qingzhi said without hesitation, "I won't sell! I've already said that if this place is sold, it can only be used as a medical clinic. If you want to buy it, you must meet my three conditions. Not one less."

Zhao Dafu said unwillingly, "Lu Qingzhi, I'll give you 150 million chinese yuan. That should be enough, right? You and your daughter won't be able to spend it all in your lifetime."

"If the conditions aren't met, I won't sell it even if you give me 1 billion chinese yuan," Lu Qingzhi shouted. "Get out of here! You're not welcome."

Zhao Dafu shouted with a fierce expression, "Lu Qingzhi, don't you know how to appreciate a good offer? Believe it or not, tomorrow I'll just bring a bulldozer and flatten this place, leaving you and your daughter to sleep on the streets."

If it were three years ago, when Xinglin Garden was at its peak popularity, and countless high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants sought Lu Huaian for treatment, let alone Zhao Dafu, no one would dare to threaten to flatten Xinglin Garden.

But now, times have changed, and people are no longer the same. Xinglin Garden has long been deserted.

"How dare you! Get out of here!"

The stubborn Lu Qingzhi grabbed a broom nearby and swung it at Zhao Dafu's head.

Caught off guard, Zhao Dafu was hit squarely by the broom. Although he didn't suffer any external injuries, it left him disheveled and embarrassed.

"You Old Man, how dare you hit me!"

Zhao Dafu, enraged, waved his hand at the two bodyguards beside him. "Give this old geezer a good lesson."

The two bodyguards responded and were about to lay hands on Lu Qingzhi when Ye Bufan and Qin Chuchu walked in.

"Stop!" Qin Chuchu angrily said to Zhao Dafu. "What are you doing?"

When Zhao Dafu saw Miss Qin, his previous arrogance immediately vanished, and he said with a fawning smile, "Miss Qin, why are you here?"

Qin Chuchu glared at him and said, "What's going on here? Who gave you the courage to cause trouble at Xinglin Garden?"

"I…" Zhao Dafu said awkwardly, "Miss Qin, actually, I'm not here to cause trouble. We were just discussing buying the house, but this Old Man absolutely refuses to sell it to me."

Qin Chuchu said, "You shouldn't even think about Xinglin Garden. My boyfriend bought the house here."

"Oh!"

Zhao Dafu glanced at Ye Bufan. Although he was full of reluctance, he had no choice. Firstly, he dared not offend the Qin Family, and secondly, since Lu Qingzhi said he wouldn't sell, there was nothing he could do.

"Alright, Miss Qin, you're busy. I'll take my leave first."

With that, he took his two bodyguards and left Xinglin Garden.

Lu Qingzhi glanced at Qin Chuchu and said with an indifferent expression, "Chu Chu, you're here!"

"Uncle Lu, I came to see you and Banxia." Qin Chuchu placed a bag of fruit she had bought on a wooden table in the courtyard and then said, "Uncle Lu, this is my boyfriend, Ye Bufan. He wants to buy your Xinglin Garden."

"Hello, Old Man Lu!"

Qin Haodong bowed respectfully.

For no other reason, he had seen the situation clearly just now. Lu Qingzhi, in order to pass on the Legacy of Xinglin Garden, could unhesitatingly refuse Zhao Dafu's high price. This quality was enough to earn his respect.

Lu Qingzhi glanced at Ye Bufan, and his expression immediately darkened. He said coldly, "Chu Chu, although our two families are old friends, the rules I've set cannot be changed.

No matter who buys my house, they must accept my test. Only after their Medical skill passes is it acceptable. At the same time, the name of Xinglin Garden cannot be changed; it must be passed down as a Chinese medical clinic."

Qin Chuchu said, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. Xiao Fan is a Chinese physician, and his Medical skill is very good."

Lu Qingzhi shook his head slightly, clearly not believing what Qin Chuchu said.

In his opinion, no matter how good a Young man's Medical skill could be, even if he started learning Chinese medicine from birth, how good could it be?

At this moment, a roar came from the room behind Lu Qingzhi. The voice was hoarse, frantic, and screamed heartbreakingly.

Fortunately, it was daytime. If one heard such a roar at night, it would be spine-chilling.

Hearing the roar, an unbearable pain flashed across his face.

Qin Chuchu said, "Uncle Lu, how is Banxia's illness? Has there been any improvement?"

Lu Qingzhi shook his head: "It's no use. We've tried everything. That's why I want to sell the house and take her to Country M to try. This is already

Banxia's last hope."

Qin Chuchu said, "Uncle Lu, may I see her?"

Lu Qingzhi said with a desolate expression, "Just look from outside the window. Going in might scare you."

Qin Chu Chu went to the window of that room, and Ye Bufan followed along. The two looked inside through the window.

The room's furnishings were simple: an iron bed, a table, and daily necessities like a washbasin and towel beside it.

A woman was tied to the bed, emaciated, with disheveled hair. Through her messy hair, a pale face was vaguely visible, practically indistinguishable from a ghost.

After seeing two people appear at the window, Lu Banxia let out another frantic roar. What was strange was that despite her extreme thinness, her roar was terrifyingly loud.

No wonder Lu Qingzhi had become so despondent. Anyone facing such a daughter would probably be heartbroken to death.

Ye Bufan first used his Divine Sense to examine Lu Banxia, then scanned the room, his gaze falling on a jade Buddha on the windowsill. His expression immediately changed.

Lu Qingzhi said, "Alright, Chu Chu, let her rest for a while."

Seeing the once proud daughter of heaven reduced to this state, Qin Chuchu felt very bad. She held Ye Bufan's hand and retreated.

She said to Lu Qingzhi, "Uncle Lu, look at Banxia's condition now. I'll give you 100 million chinese yuan for your house. If it's not enough, just say the word, and I'll transfer more to you."

"No need," Lu Qingzhi said stubbornly. "No matter when, people from my Xinglin Garden always keep their word. If I said 50 million, it's 50 million. If even one of the other conditions isn't met, it's a no-go."

In his opinion, Qin Chuchu was speaking on behalf of Ye Bufan, trying to buy his house with money.

Just as Qin Chuchu was about to explain, Ye Bufan stopped her and said, "I won't pay a single cent, and I won't accept any tests."

Lu Qingzhi chuckled mockingly, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, Young man, you two should leave."

Ye Bufan said calmly, "This Xinglin Garden is mine. Why should I leave?"

Lu Qingzhi suddenly stood up and said angrily, "What do you mean? Are you going to forcefully take it?"

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "Of course, I won't forcefully take it. But didn't you say that whoever can cure Lu Banxia, Xinglin Garden belongs to them? And I happen to be able to cure your daughter's illness."
