Chapter 375: Chapter 376: As Long as the Child Can Be Cured
By then, it would be too late for regrets.
If he agreed to his request, there would be two possible outcos.
The first outco, they cure Zining’s illness, he lends them the Golden Pearl, and gives a favor to Chu Yuxiao, also avoiding conflict between the two parties.
The second outco, they fail to cure Zining’s illness, he wouldn’t need to lend the Golden Pearl to them, and presumably, Chu Yuxiao wouldn’t go back on his word and try to snatch the Golden Pearl, thus he would be able to keep it.
Weighing these two outcos ti and again, Xuanyuan Bei felt that both were acceptable. Moreover, he considered the probability of the last outco to be greater.
Zining hadn’t spoken for three years, how could they make him speak in such a short period?
Right, he could also impose a deadline, which would increase the likelihood of the second outco even more.
Yet, in his heart, he still hoped for the first outco.
After all, a Golden Pearl is nowhere near as important as his son.
The Xuanyuan family mbers did not value treasures at all; people were the most important.
The reason he so treasured the Golden Pearl was that it was an heirloom; losing it would be sowhat disrespectful to his ancestors.
But when compared to his son’s health, the Golden Pearl paled in significance.
Having thought it through, Xuanyuan Bei slapped his thigh and said, “Fine, as long as you can cure my son’s illness, I will lend you the Golden Pearl.”
Su Yan’s face lit up with joy as she turned to look at Chu Yuxiao.
Chu Yuxiao also returned her look with a smile, then turned to Xuanyuan Bei and said, “Brother Xuanyuan, your forthrightness is truly admirable. Let’s agree to this, we cure your son, and you lend us the Golden Pearl. However, I think it would be wise to set a deadline…”
“At least a month!” Su Yan suddenly interjected.
She was genuinely worried that Chu Yuxiao would propose too short a tifra, leaving her unable to cure Xuanyuan Zining’s illness in case of failure.
Chu Yuxiao smiled slightly and nodded, “Alright, let’s set the deadline for one month, Brother Xuanyuan, what do you think?”
Xuanyuan Bei nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter how long, as long as my son can be cured.”
He owed this son too much.
Therefore, he was resolved to cure his illness.
Seeing the agreent reached, Su Yan turned to Xuanyuan Bei with a smile and said, “Brother Xuanyuan, could you now take us to see your son?”
