Unorthodox methods, cultivating immortality relies on rich women

Lu Guohua was among the earlier group of professors at Huinan University, so his benefits and treatment were quite good.

Back then, classrooms could be assigned rooms, and they were located on campus, making them a relatively rare find.

Later, although I saw teachers' buildings, they were called teachers' apartments. They were not large, and most of the residents only had the right to live there, not the right to own the property. Theoretically, they still belonged to the school and could not be freely bought and sold.

However, due to the passage of time, the residential buildings where Lu Guohua and his family now live are quite old.

However, because it's located on campus, the plants are very well maintained, especially since some of the older professors like to grow flowers and plants.

This gives these old teachers' buildings a unique sense of nostalgia, attracting many students to take photos and check in.

Because it's a teachers' residential building, the school opened a separate gate and built a road so that cars can drive right in.

So when the car arrived at the school's staff housing building, Jiang Haichao immediately spotted Lu Guohua pacing back and forth by the roadside.

Jiang Xinyue, on the other hand, could hardly believe her eyes.

"That's Uncle Lu, how come he's gotten so old?"

In Jiang Xinyue's memory, Lu Guohua was tall and robust, always standing straight, and had a loud voice. He was a very masculine uncle.

But the old man in front of her, with his gray hair and thin, hunched figure, was nothing like the Uncle Lu she remembered. She even wondered if her memory was playing tricks on her.

"Who else could it be but your Uncle Lu? He's getting old, and with so many worries, that's how he is, isn't it?" Jiang Haichao opened the car door and got out.

Lu Guohua, who was pacing back and forth on the sidewalk with his hands behind his back, heard the noise and turned around to see Jiang Haichao getting out of the car.

"Old Jiang, what do you want to talk to me about? You can't say it at home, so why did you call me down here? It's all so secretive..."

Upon seeing Jiang Haichao, Lu Guohua immediately turned around and began to chatter on and on.

"Is your sister-in-law home?" Jiang Haichao asked.

"Come on, let's go inside. You haven't been here in ages." Lu Guohua stepped forward and warmly took Jiang Haichao's arm.

"No, no, Lao Lu, I need to talk to you about something." Jiang Haichao quickly pulled his arm back.

"Why can't we talk about this at home? Why do we have to discuss it on the main street?" Lu Guohua said, somewhat displeased.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Haichao hesitated slightly, organizing his thoughts on how to say it.

"Old Jiang, is something wrong at home? If you're having any difficulties, I'll definitely help if I can," Lu Guohua said.

"Old Lu, we've known each other for quite a while now, haven't we? You should know what kind of person I am..."

Lu Guohua's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He thought to himself, "Oh no, Jiang Haichao isn't trying to borrow money from me, and it's not a small amount, otherwise he wouldn't have said something like that."

If it really came down to borrowing money, Lu Guohua would be in a real predicament, because he and his wife didn't have much money on hand right now, since they had basically given it all to their son and daughter-in-law.

In addition, they also want to save some money for their grandchildren.

A disease like that in your grandson's case is a lifelong problem.

Although now the son and daughter-in-law treat their grandson very well and love him very much.

But there's a saying that goes, "A long illness can breed a lack of filial piety," and vice versa. Over time, even the most loving care can be worn away, and then the grandson's life will become difficult.

Moreover, he had specifically researched this disease. Due to misaligned bone growth, the body gradually becomes deformed, turning into something ugly and monstrous, far from the cute appearance it has now.

By then, everyone will hate him. How much love will be left? Perhaps only morality and responsibility will remain, forcing them to take care of him. This is only if the son and daughter-in-law have a conscience. If they don't, they will probably let him fend for himself.

Therefore, Mr. and Mrs. Lu Guohua wanted to leave a guarantee for their grandson, even though this guarantee might not be of much use, they still wanted to make some effort and preparations.

So ever since their grandson was diagnosed with this disease, the couple not only lost their leisurely retirement days, but also began to live frugally.

So if Jiang Haichao were to borrow money from him at this time, Lu Guohua would be in a real predicament.

Just as Lu Guohua was filled with anxiety, Jiang Haichao continued, "Didn't you tell me last time that Wei Bo's child has osteogenesis imperfecta...?"

"Yes, it cost a lot of money, the house was completely emptied out," Lu Guohua hurriedly said.

Jiang Haichao was taken aback upon hearing this, then realized what he meant and said somewhat speechlessly, "I'm not asking you for money."

"That's good, that's good..." Lu Guohua breathed a sigh of relief, then realized what he meant and quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. It's not that I didn't want to lend it to you, it's just that I really don't have it..."

"Alright, alright, I know you too well. I'm talking to you about serious matters," Jiang Haichao quickly interrupted him.

"Tell me, tell me..." Lu Guohua hurriedly said with a smile, feeling somewhat humble.

Jiang Haichao took a deep breath and continued, "I have a way to cure Zhaozhao right now, would you like to try it?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Guohua's eyes widened in surprise. They were all cultured people; if they were borrowing money, they should just borrow money. Why use such a clumsy excuse? Was this a customized pig-butchering scam?

"How much do you want?" Lu Guohua's face showed a hint of displeasure.

Jiang Haichao could easily guess what he was thinking, but he didn't argue.

Instead, they said directly, "You can pay after you're cured; you don't need to pay a single penny upfront."

"Give it to me after I'm cured?" Lu Guohua's face was full of astonishment.

"Yes, we'll pay you after the treatment is complete. You can take your child to the hospital for a check-up afterwards, and pay after confirming the results," Jiang Haichao said with a serious expression.

"Old Jiang, you're not joking with me, are you?" Lu Guohua became serious at this moment, a hint of excitement in his heart.

This is like a drowning person grasping at the last straw.

"How bored I am to come all this way just to joke with you."

"Can it really be cured?"

Lu Guohua grabbed Jiang Haichao's arm, his expression somewhat agitated.

"I don't know either," Jiang Haichao said.

Lu Guohua was stunned, a huge sense of loss rose in his heart, and his originally excited spirit instantly withered.

"Since I'm not the one treating your child, I can't give you any guarantees. But your child is already in this state; we should try anything, even if there's only a sliver of hope, don't you think?"

Lu Guohua nodded subconsciously, a glimmer of hope rekindling in his heart. He immediately asked, "Who is it? I mean, who is treating Zhaozhao, and how is she being treated?"

"I don't know," Jiang Haichao said.

"What? You don't know?" Lu Guohua said angrily.

"If you trust me, bring your child and come with me," Jiang Haichao said.

Lu Guohua stared intently at him, and Jiang Haichao's gaze remained unwavering. They remained locked in this standoff for a long time before Lu Guohua, as if all his strength had been drained, slumped his shoulders and asked in a low voice, "Where are we? How long will it take?"

"Minghua Road should take about half a day," Jiang Haichao said.

He wasn't just making this up; Shen Qingzhou had told him that as long as everything was prepared, casting the spell wouldn't take too long.

Upon hearing this, Lu Guohua gave Jiang Haichao a deep look and then said, "Alright, I'll take the child and go with you. But wait for me, I'll go back and tell your sister-in-law."

Jiang Haichao wasn't some naive college student; he certainly understood what Lu Guohua meant.

He was still worried about him and wanted to go back and tell his wife that if anything went wrong, she should call the police immediately so they could find out who to contact.

However, this wasn't meant to deceive Lu Guohua, so Jiang Haichao naturally didn't object: "Alright, Xinyue and I will wait for you in the car."

"Xin Yue is here too?"

Lu Guohua was greatly surprised to hear this, but he felt more confident about treating his grandson.

Because he knew that if Jiang Haichao wanted to deceive him, he would never drag his own daughter into it.
