Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

049. Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.

Two days later.

The news that the Lin family had sought medical treatment everywhere reached Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng smiled without saying a word.

He knew his opportunity had arrived.

However, he still needs to remain calm.

He shouldn't appear anxious.

Later that evening, I received a call from the Lin family's old butler, who was still putting on airs.

"Oh dear, what bad luck, Mr. Lin, that his old ailment has suddenly flared up?"

As Jiang Heng said this, he slowly took a sip of tea.

"This disease is difficult to treat, mainly because the medicine is hard to find. In our area, we've been searching for over ten years and have only found two usable plants."

He casually revealed to the other party that he could cure the disease.

The old butler clenched his fists.

How could he not understand what the other person meant?

This is an attempt to take advantage of someone's misfortune.

"Speak, Mr. Jiang, what do you want?"

The old butler stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the negotiation stage.

Jiang Heng laughed: "What could I possibly want? Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Life cannot be measured by value."

The old butler snorted coldly: "Mr. Jiang is right, so you're planning to ask for several million?"

Jiang Heng's smile froze.

He didn't like the sarcasm in the other person's tone.

"Sir, please don't get so angry. It's not me begging you now, it's you begging me. Have you figured out the situation?"

"Hehe, Mr. Jiang, we've known each other for a long time."

The old butler spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Is it really necessary to keep playing those superficial games?

How can someone want to rip off patients while simultaneously trying to maintain a facade of chastity?

Jiang Heng snorted.

"Fine, I'll be blunt. I have only one condition. Once your old man Lin is cured, I want his son, Lin Chen, to marry my daughter, Jiang Aiyu!"

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Old Master Lin's illness couldn't be delayed any longer, or he might die from it, he wouldn't have acted so quickly.

The old butler was clearly taken aback.

Should Lin Chen marry Jiang Aiyu?

I doubt Master Lin would agree to something like this.

After all, the Jiang family's behavior was so bad that everyone in Yicheng knew it was terrible.

Wouldn't becoming in-laws with such a family corrupt the entire Lin family's morals?

Moreover, Jiang Heng's request at this time was clearly premeditated.

Would he not have bad intentions if he married his daughter into the family?

but……

Now, Master Lin's life is truly in their hands.

If I don't agree to their conditions, I'll get sick and die!

After much deliberation, the old butler still didn't dare to give a direct refusal, so he hung up the phone, saying, "I need to discuss this with my master first."

……

Mr. Lin lay on his sickbed, on the verge of death.

This time the onset of the illness was very strange. In the past, the pain would cause me to lose consciousness, but this time, no matter how much pain I was in, I remained fully conscious, only unable to move my body.

Upon hearing Jiang Heng's request, Master Lin's eyes widened in anger.

However, after thinking about it all night, he closed his eyes again in resignation.

Survival is the most important thing.

Love is precious, but life is more valuable.

Lin Chen is currently just a good-for-nothing scoundrel. If his father dies, the Lin family will be finished.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to make this son suffer and marry Jiang Aiyu.

I'll focus on surviving first.

With that in mind, he made the decision to put the old butler in charge of the matter and thus agreed to Jiang Heng's conditions!

By the time the message reached Lin Chen after passing through various channels, it was already two days later.

Jiang Aiyu carried her medical kit and arrived at the Lin family's house.

Lin Chen glanced at her, and his heart still trembled.

After all, her looks speak for themselves, right?

However, her actions quickly stopped him from continuing his daydreams.

Jiang Aiyu is like a woman who has had the nerves that control her smile cut off; she always has a straight face no matter what she does!

Moreover, she liked to boss him around.

In just half an hour, she had already ordered him around more than ten times!

This was the last time Lin Chen could no longer tolerate it.

"What do you mean? This is my Lin family's property. How dare you treat the master of this house like this!"

Jiang Aiyu still looked at him expressionlessly.

I will not argue, nor do I intend to let him off the hook.

Lin Chen felt very uncomfortable being stared at like that, and even felt a little creeped out.

"Jiang Aiyu, I'll remember you."

Lin Chen's harsh words have become increasingly weak lately.

He went downstairs angrily and retrieved what she needed.

"Please crush these, thank you."

She casually tossed over a large bag of herbs.

"Also, I'm a little thirsty now, could you please make me a cup of Longjing tea?"

Lin Chen was already gritting his teeth.

"Gan."

He had never been ordered around by a woman like this since he was born.

He had previously thought Meng Wanyu was just awful, but now it seemed that Jiang Aiyu was tens of thousands of times worse.

Thanks to her, he's starting to find Meng Wanyu pleasing to the eye.

The old butler stood outside the door, watching the two of them together, and sighed inwardly.

Even an old man like him could tell that the two of them didn't get along.

If this marriage were to continue, it would likely end in tragedy.

……

After the first dose of medication, Mr. Lin's complexion improved significantly.

Feeling depressed, Lin Chen couldn't help but drink a few more glasses at the banquet.

After the butler saw the man off, he climbed out the window and began wandering the streets.

"If you're going to marry a woman like Jiang Aiyu, you might as well marry Su Qiaoman."

He was suffering inside.

Su Qiaoman dared not order him around like that, nor did she dare to touch his things casually, much less dare to covet the Lin family's property.

In comparison, isn't the difference in quality immediately obvious?

Thinking this, he unconsciously walked to the vicinity of the Su family's house.

Upon entering, they found the Su family's gate locked and the house completely dark.

It looks like there's no one in the house.

Lin Chen was puzzled: Where could Su Qiaoman have gone? She doesn't seem to have a close best friend!

and many more……

Besides her best friend, she seems to also have a childhood sweetheart.

Oh, right, Lu Chengzhou!

Thinking about this, Lin Chen felt like he was being cuckolded again.

Is Su Qiaoman at Lu Chengzhou's house right now?

He quickly called Lu Chengzhou to confirm the matter.

Unfortunately, the call didn't go through.

He called Su Qiaoman again.

After making more than ten calls, I finally got through.

However, Lu Chengzhou's voice came from the other end.
