The Wild Doctor and the Fair Beauty Chapter 40: The Fault Was Being Born at the Wrong Time

"Dr. Jiang, what do you an by that?"

Her expression shifting slightly, Su Yanyun asked with a straight face, "To do sothing so... suggestive, with a cigarette and a smoke ring, right in front of a helpless woman like ? That's far too forward. Truly outrageous."

"Eh? It was just a coincidence. Miss Su, you must have misunderstood," Jiang Xinghai said with a shake of his head and a smile.

'So I completely misread her special intentions?'

"Fine. In truth, my little request is very simple."

Su Yanyun reached out and poked Jiang Xinghai in the chest. Then, with her hands clasped behind her back, she began to pace around the room. "I just need you to be a part-ti male technician here. You wouldn't refuse sothing so simple, would you?"

"A part-ti male technician?" Jiang Xinghai's expression flickered.

"Of course, I understand that being a male technician surrounded by a 'garden of flowers' might have its awkward monts. But you don't need to worry about that at all. As long as I'm here, I'll naturally help you resolve any... difficulties." Su Yanyun's words were subtle, but her gaze was filled with profound aning.

And then, she unexpectedly glanced at a... particular part of his body.

"In that case, it would be my pleasure to accept." Jiang Xinghai smiled faintly.

'I need to know the truth about the Yu Family fire. Besides, working as a male technician here isn't a bad idea. It's just a part-ti gig, after all.'

"Then follow ."

Su Yanyun paced toward the door. "I'll tell you about the various signs that appeared before the fire."

One after the other, they walked out of Body Shaping & Beauty VIP Room 1.

"Oh... they're out?"

The door to Body Shaping & Beauty VIP Room 2 was ajar, and a woman's voice drifted out.

The woman, who had deliberately booked her body-shaping therapy in this room, was none other than Cai Xiujuan, the jewelry store owner who had previously tried to make a move on Jiang Xinghai.

"All right, that's enough for today."

Cai Xiujuan waved her hand, dismissing the therapist. She quickly wrapped a bath towel around herself and stepped out of the room.

Jiang Xinghai and Su Yanyun's figures had just vanished around the corner of the hallway.

'Isn't that the owner's office?' Cai Xiujuan walked forward pensively, her suspicion confird.

'Heh, so that man is Su Yanyun's lover. No wonder.'

Having apparently made so decision, Cai Xiujuan turned and left.

「anwhile.」

「Inside the office.」

Su Yanyun said politely to Jiang Xinghai, "Have a seat anywhere. This is my office. The soundproofing is excellent. What would you like to drink?"

She stood before the liquor cabinet, taking out two glasses.

"I'm not picky. I can make do with anything."

Jiang Xinghai casually strolled over to the large floor-to-ceiling window and gazed down at the scenery outside.

"Make do?"

Su Yanyun gave a light laugh. "You can 'make do' with a drink, but when it cos to getting things done, you can't just get by. You have to strive for excellence. It's like falling in love and looking for a partner—you need to find soone you both truly like, right?"

"Miss Su, please forgive my bluntness."

Jiang Xinghai slowly turned around. "Miss Su, when you married Old Mr. Yu, I wonder... was it by mutual consent?"

"You!"

Su Yanyun's face turned cold. She seed to want to say sothing but held back. Finally, she said, "I'm just a special case."

"Miss Su, please elaborate. What do you an by 'special case'?" Jiang Xinghai asked, his tone full of aning.

"My so-called 'special case' was not by mutual consent."

Su Yanyun seed extrely reluctant to discuss her private life, but she continued anyway. "Who can I bla for my humble origins? For money, I was willing to sacrifice anything. Even if it ant marrying a man old enough to be my grandfather, I had no objections."

"So, you were forced into it, Miss Su."

Jiang Xinghai could understand her position.

In this day and age, there were far too many real-world examples of won changing themselves for money. He didn't look down on her for it.

Su Yanyun held the two glasses in her left hand. With her right, she simply pulled a bottle of Erguotou from the cabinet. "Can you handle this?"

"Of course." Jiang Xinghai walked over slowly.

Su Yanyun had originally intended to drink red wine, but after bringing up her past, it seed she wanted to get thoroughly drunk, thus her choice of the high-proof baijiu.

"Here. Let's have a drink before we talk." She filled both glasses to the brim.

"Cheers." Jiang Xinghai didn't hesitate, downing his glass first.

Su Yanyun brought the glass to her lips, inhaling the potent aroma of the liquor. She tilted back her pale, slender neck and, with a GULP, drank it all down.

A spicy heat imdiately coursed from her throat down to her stomach.

"Phew..."

She let out a long breath and suddenly broke into a radiant, yet bitter, smile. "There were three of us kids. I have two younger brothers. Because my family was so poor, I had to drop out of school early to support them. Three years ago, I had just turned twenty..."

Haltingly, Su Yanyun began to recount a part of her past.

As it turned out, a distant relative she hadn't seen in years had introduced her to Old Mr. Yu.

That very night, she was violated by Old Mr. Yu.

Because she was a virgin and possessed a beauty that could topple nations, she quickly won Old Mr. Yu's favor.

For money, she had given herself away.

As the saying goes, society scorns the poor, not the prostitute!

'She had only wanted to provide a better life for her family. She had done nothing wrong.'

'Her only mistake was being born at the wrong ti.'
