Chapter 2018: Eat a Lot
Breast cancer wasn’t equivalent to the death penalty. In fact, breast cancer was one of the cancers with the best treatment effect. As long as the patient actively cooperated with the treatment, the cure rate was relatively high, but it just took more time and money.
“I’m undergoing treatment. The doctor said it’s very likely to be cured as long as I act in concert with the treatment, but it takes longer and much more money, so I…” Shu Lihua said, showing obvious helplessness.
Although her husband was a mayor, her husband was an upright official, so their family wasn’t rich. They had two sons who were studying in college, which required a lot of money. As a result, she was in a dilemma, and was hesitating to accept the treatment.
Upon hearing that, Jing Yunyao understood her worries and got mad. “Lihua, how can you hesitate? Money isn’t important. Your health matters more than anything else! If you have difficulties, you can ask me for help!” said Jing Yunyao in annoyance.
Jing Yunyao was more than willing to help Shu Lihua deal with the disease, but her magical power could only cure common injuries and could do nothing about cancers, but she could pay the money for her.
Anyway, she didn’t have many friends in the mortal world, and Shu Lihua was the only one she could share secrets with.
“Um, did you forget me?” Gu Ning suddenly opened her mouth.
Jing Yunyao was struck dumb for a second, then realized that Gu Ning had power crystals!
“Oh, right, I was so anxious that I forgot about you!” Jing Yunyao said with excitement.

“This is a senior member of our family. His surname is Shangguan. This is my niece. Her name is Gu Ning.” Jing Yunyao introduced them to Shu Lihua. Because they were outside, she didn’t bother to tell many details.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Shangguan, Miss Gu,” Shu Lihua gently said to Shangguan Yang and Gu Ning.
“This is my good friend, Shu Lihua.” Jing Yunyao introduced Shu Lihua to Shangguan Yang and Gu Ning afterwards.
“Hi, Ms. Shu.” Shangguan Yang and Gu Ning politely greeted her too.
All of a sudden, Jing Yunyao seriously said to Shu Lihua, “Lihua, I have a medicine that can help cure your disease, but will you trust me?”
“What?” Hearing that, Shu Lihua was greatly shocked. There was a medicine which could cure her disease? At the same time, Shu Lihua was thrilled. She had doubts, but she still chose to trust Jing Yunyao. “It sounds unbelievable, but I’m willing to trust you.”
Jing Yunyao has saved her life, so she didn’t think that Jing Yunyao would hurt her. Even if the medicine couldn’t completely cure her disease, she would be better than now.
Hearing Shu Lihua’s reply, Jing Yunyao turned to look at Gu Ning. “Ningning.”
Gu Ning then took out a porcelain bottle at once and handed it to Shu Lihua. “Ms. Shu, this medicine can really cure your disease, because it has cured many serious diseases before, like heart disease. There are 3 pills. You can take one right now, then have one every 3 days afterwards. After taking all 3 pills, your disease should be cured. Try one tonight. Have an exam in the hospital tomorrow, and you’ll find the cancer cells will have become much fewer.”
Knowing that the medicine could really cure her disease and it had already cured many serious diseases before, like heart disease, Shu Lihua was stunned. It was too unbelievable to be true, but she still cried tears of joy.
“Lihua…” Jing Yunyao moved a step forward and laid one hand on Shu Lihua’s shoulder. She wanted to comfort her, but didn’t know what to say.
Shu Lihua understood they were in a public place, so she forced herself to calm down because she couldn’t lose her manners.
“Well, I honestly don’t know what to say right now except for thank you. Thank you, thank you so much,” Shu Lihua choked.
“Of course, we’re glad to be helpful.” Jing Yunyao accepted Shu Lihua’s thanks because it wasn’t her but Gu Ning who helped Shu Lihua this time.
“By the way, since we met today, why don’t we share a meal together?” Shu Lihua said, “I need to thank you for giving me the medicine. Please do me the honor.”
“You’re going to dine with your friends. Is it appropriate if we go as well?” Jing Yunyao felt it might not be suitable.
“Nonsense! There are only three of us. One of my good female friends along with her daughter came back to visit her parents. She wants to buy me a meal. I won’t let her pay for it, so I invited her out to dine together,” said Shu Lihua. Although she was in no mood for socializing now, it was rare for her friend to come back and her friend also called her out for a meal. If she didn’t go, it would be too impolite. In the end, Jing Yunyao couldn’t reject it, so she agreed.
“Um, Ms. Shu, I have to tell you that my grandpa alone can eat as much as 3 people. I’m afraid you’ll pay a lot for the meal then,” said Gu Ning with a smile.
“Well…” Shangguan Yang felt embarrassed when Gu Ning said that about him, but it actually was what he wanted to say. He was truly worried that Shu Lihua didn’t know how much he could eat and would order too little. If so, he might still be hungry!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKnowing that, Shu Lihua was surprised. To her astonishment, Shangguan Yang alone was able to eat as much as 3 people. Anyway, she didn’t mind ordering more food later. “It’s not a problem at all. Mr. Shangguan, please order whatever you want to eat. You don’t need to care about the price.”
“Sure, thanks,” said Shangguan Yang with satisfaction.
After walking into the private room, Shu Lihua took a power crystal at once.
She planned to use water to help her swallow it, but Gu Ning stopped her. Gu Ning told her the medicine had no color or taste, and that it would melt once it touched water.
Shu Lihua did what Gu Ning told her to do and the pill indeed had no color or taste. The moment she put it into her mouth, it melted.
As soon as she took the pill, she felt cold yet comfortable. After a few seconds, Shu Lihua felt her body was full of energy again and her face became ruddy.
“Wow, I can’t believe it. I just took it and now I feel energetic again,” Shu Lihua exclaimed. She was totally amazed by its effect and couldn’t believe it, but it was real. After taking the first pill, she had more confidence in the medicine.
“You look much better now. Have a look at yourself in the mirror,” said Jing Yunyao with a smile.
“Really?” Shu Lihua was excited. She stood up right away to look at herself in the mirror in the washroom. It was true that her face became red and looked healthy. It was so amazing!
“Ningning, thank you.”
When Shu Lihua went to the washroom, Jing Yunyao thanked Gu Ning.
