Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot
/ Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot Chapter 1756
Chapter 1756: 425: Miss Thompson's prediction came true Chapter 1756: 425: Miss Thompson's prediction came true The assistant froze for a moment.
Was the gentleman now officially at odds with Suwen?
This…
Gabrie laughed and asked, “Third Master, have you thought this through? That's Suwen!”
She's a pillar of the traditional Chinese medicine community.
Offending Suwen was not going to be good for Terrence Lentz.
After all,
who doesn't get sick after eating grains and mixed food?
What if Third Master fell ill one day… What then?
Thinking for a bit, Gabrie continued, “I heard that Suwen can heal 'bone to flesh.'”
In this world, there is no one Suwen can't save, only those she doesn't want to save.
“What about 'bone to flesh'?” Terrence Lentz glanced back with a touch of authority in his eyes, “Do I have to ingratiate myself with her just because she can do 'bone to flesh'?”
He would never ingratiate himself with Suwen.
That look in his eyes was not just daunting for the assistant; even Gabrie felt uneasy seeing it.
Gabrie swallowed hard, “What I mean is, Suwen is after all a Divine Doctor. If you offend her and then encounter some problem in the future, what if she refuses to save you?”
“She's just a quack who refuses to save those dying,” the man murmured through thin lips.
Gabrie was startled once again.
So they had had a feud for a long time.
A moment later, Gabrie went on, “Third Master, why not take this opportunity to give her the meteorite, and resolve the conflict between you two? No matter what, Suwen is a 'Boss' in the world of traditional Chinese medicine…”
“Boss?” Terrence Lentz countered.
Wasn't he a Boss too?
Gabrie tried a different approach, “I also heard that Suwen is a woman; why not just give her a break?”
“Just because she's a woman, I should give her a break?” Terrence Lentz frowned slightly.
He wouldn't indulge her bad habits.
So what about women?
Should women be treated specially?
Terrence Lentz never felt there was any difference between men and women.
He wouldn't indulge Suwen's affectations.
Seeing him like this, Gabrie curiously asked, “Third Master, what exactly happened between you and Suwen?”
“Nothing,” Terrence Lentz replied casually, “I just find her overly affected.”
Overly affected?
There weren't many people that could displease the gentleman before him.
What had Suwen done to him?
Gabrie then said, “Third Master, why bother with a young lady? Just let it go.”
“I can't just let it go,” Terrence Lentz said slowly and emphatically, “I can never reconcile with her. This meteorite, I must have it!”
Compared to his Miss Thompson,
what was Suwen?
Gabrie looked up at Terrence Lentz and tried to keep his tone light, “Third Master, you have a capacious mind like a chancellor, why stoop to the level of a young girl? Besides, that meteorite isn't much use to you, why not just do her a favor?”
Young girl?
Terrence Lentz frowned slightly.
Given Suwen's style of refusing to save lives, she hardly seemed like a young girl.
Which family's young girl had a heart as hard as hers?
“Young girl?” At this thought, Terrence Lentz spoke indifferently, “Isn't she rather a 'she-demon'?”
And a 'she-demon' that refuses to save lives at that!
She-demon?
Hearing this, Gabrie swallowed hard.
When had Third Master's words become so venomous?
He had heard that Suwen was still quite young.
Was it appropriate to describe a young lady as a she-demon?
Gabrie continued, “Third Master, what do you actually need that meteorite for?”
He wasn't a doctor, nor did he have to conduct any experiments, so why should he compete with Suwen for a rock.
Thinking about the rumors outside, Gabrie found it all a bit nonsensical.
Girlfriend?
How could someone like Third Master possibly have a girlfriend!
But what Terrence Lentz said next made Gabrie's jaw drop.
His thin lips parted, his voice low and deep, he slowly uttered four words.
“For my girlfriend.”
For his girlfriend?
In that instant, Gabrie thought he was hallucinating.
He couldn't believe that the words 'girlfriend' had come from Third Master's mouth.
This was more thrilling than Mars colliding with Earth!
“For your girlfriend?” Gabrie asked in disbelief.
“Mm,” Terrence Lentz nodded slightly.
Regardless of whether it was public or private, regardless of his status, Terrence Lentz never hid the fact that he had a girlfriend.
A moment passed, and Terrence Lentz went on, “To be precise, it should be 'fiancee'.”
Fiancee!
Gabrie's eyes widened.
It was surprising enough that he had a girlfriend, but now he was saying she was his fiancee!
Holy crap!
Third Master actually had a fiancee!
“Fiancee?” Gabrie couldn't help his curiosity, “Third Master, are you serious? You're not joking with me, are you?”
He had thought it was just an unfounded rumor.
