City Life – Miraculous Doctor From The Mountains Chapter 29

How Fragrant

Facing such a domineering Qiao Xue, Lin Dong felt helpless.

He could only sigh and reply, “Alright, half a year!”

In this half a year, Lin Dong didn't plan to chase after Qiao Xue. Although she looked like a fairy, Lin Dong had his own pride.

After all, the other party was high and mighty, looking down on him. Could it be that he still had to kneel and lick her boots?

Once half a year was up, the engagement would automatically be annulled.

Lin Dong wanted to leave immediately, but Qiao Guoting invited him to have dinner with him.

Lin Dong couldn't refuse and could only agree.

Seeing that Lin Dong had agreed, Chu Yunxiu, who was standing at the side, had a look of disdain on her face as she muttered softly,

“You still have the face to stay for dinner. It's your first time coming to our house and you only brought a few catties of grapes. How shabby!”

Her voice wasn't loud, but Lin Dong could hear it clearly.

He wasn't the only one who heard it. Qiao Guoting also heard it.

Even though Lin Dong's first gift wasn't anything special, you couldn't just say it out loud.

Youngsters all care about their pride. Isn't this hurting your self-esteem?

Qiao Guoting was very unhappy about this. “What are you mumbling about? Hurry up and cook!”

With that, she brought Lin Dong to the study.

When Lin Dong followed Qiao Guoting to the study, Chu Yunxiu pursed her lips and said to her daughter Qiao Xue, “Xiao Xue, why did you give that trash a chance?”

“How is he worthy of you?”

Qiao Xue replied, “I, Qiao Xue, am not someone else's turn to break off the engagement!” If you want to retreat, I'll be the one to retreat.”

“Also, I also want him to see how big the gap between us is so that he can recognize reality.”

Of course, she had another goal, which was to use Lin Fan as a shield.

There were too many people pursuing Qiao Xue. If Lin Fan was here, then she could dispel many people's thoughts.

Although Chu Yunxiu was dissatisfied, she was helpless.

She couldn't change what her daughter and Old Master had decided on.

“Hmph, he's letting it go too easily. With the name of your fiancé, his ancestors will benefit from it.”

Chu Yunxiu snorted and reluctantly went to cook.

After the meal was ready, everyone went to the table to eat.

This meal consisted of expensive seafood such as crabs and lobsters. Of course, there were also ordinary vegetables such as cabbage and eggplant.

Chu Yunxiu deliberately placed the cabbages in front of Lin Dong, thinking that he was only worthy of eating these.

Qiao Xue, on the other hand, was much more magnanimous than her mother, Chu Yunxiu.

She took the initiative to pick up a big crab for Lin Dong and said, “Lin Dong, for the next six months, you will be my fiancé.”

“Sometimes, I can't help but take you to high-end places. You have to learn to eat these high-end seafood!”

When Chu Yunxiu saw this, she snorted and said, “Lin Dong, this big crab is worth more than a thousand yuan each.”

“This is probably your first time eating such an expensive thing, right?”

Lin Dong was a little embarrassed. Actually, the mountain products he ate in the mountains, such as hundred-year-old ginseng, were more expensive than this crab.

However, Lin Dong didn't say much and just ate his meal quietly.

“I'm full…”

After Lin Dong had eaten his fill, he said goodbye.

After he left, Chu Yunxiu was still scolding Lin Dong.

“Xiao Xue, look at him. He's so rustic. Today's meal was probably the most expensive meal he had ever eaten in his life. If you bring this out, it's simply embarrassing.”

Qiao Guoting was a little angry when he heard this. He slammed the table and said,”

“Stop talking, young man. No one is born rich. He could earn these things in the future.”

Chu Yunxiu pursed her lips. She didn't dare to spout nonsense because of the old man's pressure.

However, she didn't think much of it in her heart, thinking that Lin Dong would probably be useless for the rest of his life.

At this moment, Chu Yunxiu looked at the ‘gift' that Lin Dong had brought for the first time.

She immediately unwrapped the grape and prepared to give it to her pet dog!

“Woof woof woof…” The dog sniffed twice and refused to eat.

“Look, this trash doesn't even eat dogs!”

Chu Yunxiu rolled her eyes.

At this moment, another woman came in.

This woman looked similar to Qiao Xue, but her style was completely different.

Qiao Xue had the image of a long-haired beautiful president, while the woman in front of her had the aura of a white-collar white-haired lady.

Her figure was even better than Qiao Xue's, especially her chest. A stomp of her foot could cause waves.

He was the second daughter of the Qiao family, Qiao Bing, the most beautiful doctor in the People's Hospital's Cardiology Department.

She had just returned home from work and saw her mother Chu Yunxiu feeding grapes to the cat.

Suddenly, she was startled and said in shock, “Mom, what are you doing?”

“He actually fed these grapes to the dogs!”

“Little Bing, why are you making such a fuss?” Chu Yunxiu laughed.

“It's not like you don't know our family. We usually eat Yellow Dragon Fruits that cost a few hundred yuan per half kilogram. Fruits that others think are expensive like cherries are commonplace in our family.”

“As for low-quality fruits like grapes and oranges, we use them to feed our pets…”

Qiao Bing rolled her eyes and quickly snatched the grape from Chu Yunxiu's hand.

Then, without washing it, she stuffed it into her mouth.

Seeing this, Chu Yunxiu and Qiao Xue were shocked.

“Little Bing, are you crazy?” Chu Yunxiu couldn't help but spit. “Even dogs don't eat these garbage grapes, but you're fighting over them.”

“Sis, have you been working too hard recently?” Qiao Xue asked.

Qiao Bing rolled her eyes as she ate the grapes.

“Sis, did the Black Dragon Guild owe our company 10 million yuan? So you bought these grapes that cost more than 2,000 RMB each?”

“However, even if someone else returned our money, you don't have to waste it like this, right? A grape worth more than 2,000 yuan was fed to a dog!”

Whoosh!

The moment she said this, the few of them were stunned.

“Little Bing, what nonsense are you talking about?” Chu Yunxiu shook her head repeatedly.

“How can these grapes be worth more than 2,000 yuan each? Do you think they're made of gold?”

“That's why, Mom, you're just short-sighted. These are not ordinary grapes. They are called ruby Roman grapes.”

Qiao Bing continued to stuff grapes into her mouth as she explained to her mother, Chu Yunxiu.

“This grape is only produced in Ishikawa Prefecture of Sakura Country. They are extremely strict on quality. Each grape is the size of a ping pong ball and has a sugar content of more than 18%. This kind of grape is extremely rare and can not be bought just because one wanted to. In 2011, at an auction, a bunch of 30 ruby Roman grapes sold for 8250 pounds (about 72,300 yuan), which is equivalent to 2400 yuan per grape.”

“I've only eaten two of these before! At that time, the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce's President's wife, Yu Li was hospitalized. I took advantage of it and ate it!”

After hearing Qiao Bing's explanation, Chu Yunxiu gulped.

A grape that cost more than two thousand yuan was fed to the dogs?

She quickly kicked the dog away and picked one herself to taste.

“This… This smells so good!”

Chu Yunxiu smacked her lips and wolfed down the grape. She didn't even chew it twice before swallowing it.

Even Qiao Xue couldn't help but pick one and taste it.

After eating, she blurted out, “These grapes are too delicious!”

Even Old Master Qiao Guoting picked one and ate it. After eating, he commented,

“It seems that these grapes are indeed worth more than 2,000 yuan each.”

Qiao Bing was curious. “Sis, these grapes don't look like they were bought by you. Who bought them?”

Chu Yunxiu was embarrassed. She had been mocking Lin Dong at the dinner table and showing off the huge crab that cost more than a thousand yuan each, thinking that it was the most precious thing Lin Dong had ever eaten in his life.

Yet, someone sent a few pounds of grapes of which just one grape was worth more than that big crab!

Qiao Xue was also very curious. Lin Dong looked like a country bumpkin, so how could he afford a grape that cost more than 2,000 yuan?

There were a few kilograms here. How much was that?

Qiao Xue suddenly felt that Lin Dong might not be as simple as he seemed on the surface.
