The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 21 You are sick

"It doesn't matter if Lin Chen has no money, my family has plenty."

Before Lin Chen could answer, Gu Yuexi spoke up first: "My dad only has one daughter, me. Do you think he would just watch me suffer? As long as Lin Chen loves me and treats me well, that's enough, right, Dad? You also hope that I can find someone who treats me well, not just a rich person, right?"

Wu Jiajun was immediately embarrassed. Could this really be done?
Is he trying to live off a woman?

Gu Hongtao's face darkened slightly. He was caught in a dilemma, unable to refute his daughter's words or acquiesce to them. After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke.

“Being good to you is of course the most important thing, but a man also needs to be capable. A man’s charm is ultimately reflected in his ability. If he is just attentive and good at taking care of people, then hiring a nanny can handle it, and she might even do a better job.”

"You said it yourself, you're my only daughter, so the family company will naturally be handed over to you and your husband in the future. You know nothing about company management, and if your husband isn't capable either, the company will naturally fail in the competition, collapse, or even be heavily indebted. How can we guarantee you an easy and happy life then? Are you really determined to go to work nine-to-five with your husband?"

Wu Jiajun breathed a sigh of relief; he hadn't known what to say.

Old ginger is indeed spicier!
"Uncle Gu is right. A man should build a world for a woman and shelter her from the wind and rain. If a man relies on his woman to ask his family for money to support him, then he might as well be dead."

Lin Chen looked up and smiled: "Someone like you?"

Wu Jiajun retorted sharply: "Unlike me, do you expect me to be like you?"

Lin Chen turned his head to look at Gu Yuexi, his eyes filled with affection: "I do have nothing right now, but I will work hard and I will definitely make Yueyue live a happy life."

Gu Yuexi's heart skipped a beat when Lin Chen stared at her like that.

Although she knew Lin Chen was acting, his gaze was so warm, so gentle, and full of doting affection that it stirred ripples deep within her heart, and even her own gaze softened.

"Yes, I believe you can do it."

When Gu Yuexi and Lin Chen interacted like that, showering everyone with sweetness, apart from Bai Qian's relieved smile, the Wu family father and son and Gu Hongtao's expressions instantly turned sour.

Wu Jiajun sneered, "Sweet words are easy to say, but how many people can actually do them?"

Lin Chen remained calm and unaffected by Wu Jiajun's words, confidently stating, "I may not be able to provide Yueyue with a life of unimaginable wealth, but a worry-free life is certainly achievable. Putting aside everything else, with my medical skills alone, earning a few million a year would be a breeze."

Wu Jiajun scoffed, "You don't even have a medical license, who would dare to treat you?"

Lin Chen explained, “Wen Yu’an can introduce me to patients, the kind of powerful and wealthy people that even hospitals can’t handle. Others can’t save their lives, but I can. You think it’s unreasonable for me to charge a few million in consultation fees? After all, they’re rich, and their lives are more valuable, aren’t they?” Lin Chen glanced at Gu Hongtao and Bai Qian and continued, “The circle of powerful and wealthy people isn’t actually that big. I don’t need Wen Yu’an to keep introducing me to patients. As long as I cure a few in a row, I don’t need to advertise. They will naturally promote me. I can just sit back and wait for the money to come to my door.”

Wu Jiajun scoffed: "You're just bragging. You only managed to cure Old Master Gu by sheer luck. Do you really think you can do it every time? If you had such good medical skills, you would have been in a military hospital long ago. Why would you have retired from the army?"

Lin Chen stared at Wu Jiajun and smiled gently: "You don't believe me? Then do you want me to take a look at your illness?"

Wu Jiajun sneered: "I'm young and healthy, what's so interesting about me? What, are you going to advise me to eat less chili and drink more water?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "No, you're sick."

Wu Jiajun instinctively retorted, "You're the one who's sick!"

Wu An, who had been silent until now, waved his hand to stop Wu Jiajun and smiled, "Lin Chen, tell me, what is Jiajun's illness?"

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment: "It's hard to say."

Wu Jiajun sneered, "Is it hard to say, or is there nothing to say at all? What, you first scare me, then try to fool me? This kind of tactic is so overused, okay?"

Gu Hongtao said, "Lin Chen, just say what you want to say, don't hold back."

Wu An urged, "Yes, just tell me directly. If there's really some kind of illness, we'll treat it."

Lin Chen stared at Wu Jiajun with an expression that said, "It's not that I wanted to say it, you forced me to": "Then I'll just say it directly?"

Wu Jiajun said without hesitation, "Speak! If you can't give a coherent answer today, then you're a liar. Xiaoxi, you'd better keep your eyes open and don't be fooled!"

Lin Chen sighed: "You can't do it."

Wu Jiajun retorted angrily, "Didn't you say you were going to see a doctor? What are you saying about whether it's okay or not? Stop giving me this nonsense!"

Lin Chen calmly said, "I'm here for a medical checkup. Your problem is that you can't perform sexually."
