Becoming The Business Magnate's Spoiled Wife

Chapter 67 The Seller of the Medical Book

On the top floor of the villa, sunlight seeped through the gaps in the clouds and shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the bookshelves that occupied the entire wall.

Qu Xiao patted the dust that had covered the back of the books lightly and scanned the rare collection of classics with a regretful expression.

She grabbed a footstool and climbed up on it. She took out the out-of-print medical classics and slowly flipped through them.

According to the notes in the index, treatment and rehabilitation methods related to leg diseases was included in the fourth volume.

Qu Xiao searched repeatedly, but realized that the Qu family’s study room only lacked the fourth volume medical book that she needed!

She could not hide her dejected mood. She forced herself to take out her cell phone and took a photo of the cover of the medical book.

In the living room, Miss Zhang, Yang Mei, and Mr. Qu were still chatting enthusiastically about Qu Qi’s studies.

Qu Xiao walked out of the study with an indifferent expression and went straight outside.

Miss Zhang seemed to have thought of something as she stood up and chased after her. She held Qu Xiao’s elbow and said in a concerned tone, “Qu Xiao, I think you should go back to school and continue your studies. You are very smart and shouldn’t give up just like that.”

“Your fate is in your own hands. You have to fight for what you want.”

The warmth in Miss Zhang’s eyes made Qu Xiao smile. The kindness and concern of strangers touched her.

She nodded sincerely and replied, “If there’s a chance, I will.”

Qu Xiao left the villa. She recalled that the owner of the Chinese medicine store had once mentioned to her that there were a few reliable second-hand trading platforms in the country. Many sellers would place unwanted items on them for auction.

At the same time, there were also quite a number of buyers who would register the information of the items they wanted and wait for contact.

A few days ago, she had posted a request for help to look for Nanjiang Blood Essence, but to no avail.

Qu Xiao posted a picture of the medical book with the caption, “Purchasing the fourth volume at a high price.”

Ding ding!

Her request was successfully posted, and soon, someone privately messaged Qu Xiao.

Qu Xiao clicked on the person’s anime profile picture and asked suspiciously, “Do you have the fourth volume of this medical book series?”

“Of course.”

The other party answered readily and sent two pictures of the medical book.

Qu Xiao could not control her joy in the room and typed two lines of text excitedly, “That’s right. This is what I want!”

“May I know when it will be convenient for us to make the transaction? I’d like to inspect the goods in person!”

“I can offer 500,000 yuan for this medical book!”

Qu Xiao sent the message out and waited anxiously for the other party’s reply.

Time slowly passed. Qu Xiao stared at her phone. When she was hesitating about increasing her offer, the other party’s profile picture suddenly flashed. “Alright, deal! Meet me at Garden Cafe at five in the afternoon.”

Qu Xiao raised her wrist to check the time. She took the card that Shang Yan had given her and hurriedly ran out.

Qu Xiao soon arrived at Garden Cafe.

At five o’clock sharp, a man in a cap walked straight to the table in the corner and sat down. He took off his cap and naturally rubbed his hair with his hands. He placed a black plastic bag containing the medical book on the table and immediately raised his head.

“It’s you?”

“You again!”

Qu Xiao and Shang Xinchen exclaimed at the same time, attracting the attention of the surrounding customers and waiters.

The two quickly covered their mouths and asked each other softly, “The fool who offered 500,000 yuan to buy this lousy medical book is you?”

Qu Xiao frowned and stared at Shang Xinchen. She questioned with slight hesitation, “Is this medical book real?”

“Of course! Qu Zhen asked me to look for it. I had originally wanted to give it to her, but something happened and I was busy the past few days.”

Shang Xinchen scratched his head and said in a softer voice, “I’m short of money recently. When I saw a fool on the internet willing to pay such a high price to buy this book, of course I agreed!”

“You can’t go back on your word! How are you going to pay for it?”.

Shang Xinchen hurriedly hugged the medical book and narrowed his long and narrow eyes as he stared at Qu Xiao.

Qu Xiao helplessly took out the black card and handed it to him. “Take it! I’ll pay you all in one go.”

Shang Xinchen recognized Shang Yan’s secondary card. He stared at Qu Xiao confusedly. He quickly swiped the card to get

his money.

“Why are you looking for the medical book?”

Shang Xinchen saw the notification from his bank and asked with interest.

Qu Xiao immediately flipped through the book. Her brows were tightly knitted as she read the difficult to understand words. She replied in a soft voice, “I’m looking for a method to treat Shang Yan’s leg disease. There might be…”

Shang Xinchen was stunned. He did not expect Qu Xiao to be running around with such a goal in mind.

TO

He was a little touched as he cleared his throat. He could not help but remind her, “Second brother’s leg disease has been untreatable for a long time. Our family has hired a lot of doctors to try to treat him. Famous doctors from both China and abroad had come for consultations, but none of them had any idea what to do.” “It’s best for a self-taught person like you to not have too much hope.”

Qu Xiao did not seem to care about what he said and continued to immerse herself in reading the medical book.

“Do you really want to cure second brother?”

Shang Xinchen stared at her for a long time and suddenly asked.
