Villain: Starting as a Corrupt Tycoon's Wife

Page 41

"Aunt Wang, just call me Xiao Ling. I'm not worthy of the title of miracle doctor."

"You saved my daughter's life, you're a miracle doctor!" Aunt Wang filled Ling Yun's drink. "My daughter Qiaoqiao is still weak and has no energy. Could you please prescribe some medicine for her to help her recover?"

"Three-drug."

Ling Yun smiled and said, "However, I have something that tastes sweet and can help Miss Zhou recover quickly without any side effects."

Chapter 65 Miracle Healing Medicine

Inside the room, Zhou Qiao sat on the bed, her face flushed, wrapped in a thin blanket.

Ling Lan and Wu Qianyi were both in Aunt Wang's room, which not only dispelled her concerns but also helped her relieve her boredom.

With the company of two pretty girls, Aunt Wang seemed to have forgotten the unpleasant things and began to tell them stories about the village in the past with great enthusiasm.

Ling Yun stood on the bed and untied the binding around Zhou Qiao's waist.

The two of them had just taken a bath together in the wooden tub inside the house. On the way, Ling Yun massaged Zhou Qiao under the pretext of clearing her meridians, which made her unable to stand up. Ling Yun had to carry her out.

She had already witnessed the magnificence of Xiao Lingyun, and seeing it again still made her heart race.

The enhanced villainous aura amplified its attraction to women, and Lingyun wondered why the description said "opposite sex" instead of "female." Could it also have an effect on pets?

"Come on, do it this way..."

Lingyun took her little hand and taught her how to collect milk.

Zhou Qiao is very skillful and excels at needlework. Wu Qianyi had previously asked her to knit scarves and hats for her.

The assistant wasn't lying to him; Qiaoqiao's hands were indeed very nimble, and she had a great talent in this area. It was just a pity that she didn't even have the title of a supporting actress.

After working on the craft for more than ten minutes, Lingyun still showed no signs of finishing.

Zhou Qiao was already weak, and now her arms were even more sore and powerless. Just as she was getting anxious, Ling Yun grabbed her hand and pushed her down onto the bed.

The lights went out, and in the darkness, Zhou Qiao looked at the handsome face of the young man in front of her and sighed inwardly.

Since we've already gone this far together, whether I give him the final touch or not makes no difference. Does he think I can marry someone else in the future?

"Brother Lingyun, please... please be gentle..."

The girl's lips shone brightly even in the darkness, just like the tips of her pink peaches.

"You're not in good health; you can't handle it right now."

Ling Yun kissed her lips, slowly melting her with his heat.

When she relaxed, Lingyun lifted her beautiful legs and tried a vegetarian dish.

Zhou Qiao covered her mouth; the old house had poor soundproofing, and she didn't want her mother to hear anything.

Even though the two didn't hit a home run directly, she inevitably felt aroused during the friction that ignited their passion.

The girl was like a small boat, drifting on the turbulent sea, carried by the waves to an unknown destination.

She was powerless to resist and could only drift with the current until she reached the other side.

Afterwards, she was soaked to the bone, as if she had just been pulled out of the water.

After taking the medicine, Zhou Qiao felt much better.

She stroked her belly with her hand; it felt warm inside. She wondered how Ling Yun had managed to produce such an exaggerated amount.

Ling Yun held her and chatted for over an hour. Only after she had almost absorbed all the milk did he let her stand up and walk around the room.

Zhou Qiao was surprised to find that her legs had regained strength. This morning she could only lie paralyzed, but now she could jump and hop!

While Aunt Wang was chatting happily with the two women, Ling Yun brought Zhou Qiao, whose face was rosy and whose skin radiated a healthy glow, into her house.

"Wow, he's a miracle doctor!"

Aunt Wang almost knelt down before Ling Yun. She pulled her daughter and looked her over from left to right, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

After she calmed down, Lingyun also got some useful information from them.

“A strange man did come to the village last week. He was spotted by the people working in the fields at the village entrance. Outsiders rarely come to our village, and since he didn’t look like a good person, some villagers secretly followed him to see where he was going. Who knew that he would get lost while following him? Later, the villager went home and got diarrhea, but it wasn’t anything serious.”

"Aunt Wang, did anyone else see that man in the village after that?"

"Anyway, I've never seen it, but you can go to the village committee; they're more well-informed."

It was getting late, and there was no one at the village committee office right now, so Lingyun decided to go there tomorrow morning to ask around and finish this task as soon as possible.

A blue-grade item isn't worth his long stay; he's still waiting to return to the capital and do some things he enjoys with the female leads and supporting characters.

However, after meeting the beautiful female village chief the next morning, Lingyun felt that living in the village was actually quite nice.

"Outsiders? I remember there were some."

Li Mengxuan thought for a moment, then called over the lady at the next desk and asked her to help her check.

The village chief was thirty-three years old, with a bright and elegant face, clear eyebrows and eyes, a straight nose, and a neat ponytail that revealed her smooth forehead. She was tall and slender with a well-proportioned figure. A simple white shirt and dark trousers outlined her capable and energetic figure. Although she wore no makeup, she possessed a natural, fresh, and resilient beauty, like that of the earth.

She is from this village and has been helping out in the village since graduating from university. Thanks to the special support of college graduate village officials, and because she genuinely works for the villagers, she quickly rose to this position.

He is capable, hardworking, and has attracted a lot of external investment to the village, which has indeed improved the lives of the villagers. He was elected with an overwhelming majority during the initial vote.

"Village Chief Li, over here."

The middle-aged woman handed a notebook to Li Mengxuan. Ling Yun also looked at it; it contained a report from a villager a few days earlier.

The man mentioned encountering a strange man while chopping wood in the back hills. The man had a hooked nose, was thin and tall, and looked quite intimidating.

After coming down the mountain, the villager passed by the village committee and mentioned it to the woman at the entrance.

Seeing Wu Qianyi winking at her, Li Mengxuan blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled, "By the way, you haven't properly introduced these two handsome men and beautiful women to me yet."

"Sister Xuan, this is my boss, and that cool lady is his bodyguard!"

Logically speaking, Ling Lan is not older than Wu Qianyi, but she has an imposing presence, and younger beauties habitually call her "sister".

"Boss?" Li Mengxuan was slightly surprised. "I remember you used to work at Xinghe Group, didn't you?"

Li Mengxuan looked closely at Ling Yun and quickly recognized him as the young man in the news.

"Oh my, you really are Chairman Ling? My apologies, please have a seat!"

The female village chief stood up and invited Ling Yun and the others to sit down. The three of them had just arrived and immediately asked her about outsiders, which made her momentarily forget her manners.

She wasn't one to flatter or fawn. The reason she cared so much about Ling Yun was that she wanted to see if she could get Xinghe Group to sponsor Taoyuan Village.

“Our Taoyuan Village is rich in apples, but because the roads are not very good, large trucks can't get in, and small trucks are expensive and slow to transport them. Even if they are transported out, it is difficult to find good sales channels.”

Ling Yun came with Wu Qianyi. Li Mengxuan did not hide the village's plight. After saying this, seeing that Ling Yun did not show any impatience, she continued talking.

“I know these are small businesses for Chairman Ling, and you may not be interested in them, but they are a big deal for our Peach Blossom Village…”

"I will contact an engineering team to conduct on-site measurements and help repair the roads in Taoyuan Village free of charge."

Li Mengxuan's eyes widened as she listened to Ling Yun say, "As for the sales of apples, I will also send someone to coordinate with you. You can sit down and discuss these specific matters slowly."

"Thank you so much!"

The female village chief excitedly grasped Ling Yun's hand; in her eyes, he was simply the savior of Peach Blossom Village!

"You're welcome. Like you said, it's nothing to me."

Chapter 66 The Village Chief's Thanks

What is a villain?

The villain is a character who opposes the protagonist, but that doesn't mean the villain is the embodiment of filth and evil.

Only children ask who is good and who is bad; the adult world is not black and white.

Take the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Buddhas in the south of the Dragon Kingdom as an example. Those managers in the fraud park have devout faith and have even spent a lot of money on charity, but that doesn't stop them from being a bunch of beasts.

Ling Yun, of course, disdained associating with such humanoid creatures. As a villain, he was there to fight against the protagonist, not to bully ordinary people.

Li Mengxuan never expected Ling Yun to be so efficient. She had only discussed the matter with him in the morning, and the construction team had already arrived by noon. It was incredibly fast.

According to her estimate, it would take at least three to five days, or even a month, before anyone would come, which was enough to show that Ling Yun had taken this matter to heart.

This moved her deeply, but Wu Qianyi's subtle hints also put her in a dilemma.

With the backing of Xinghe Group, a powerful force in the village, the future development of the village is definitely on the right track. If it can bring benefits to the people of my hometown, then it is worthwhile to make any sacrifice.

Ling Shuang arrived in the afternoon as well.

She was puzzled as to why Ling Yun had come to such a relatively poor mountain village. It wasn't until she heard the familiar accent and saw Wu Qianyi getting along well with the female village chief that she understood.

While the village committee members and the construction team were busy surveying the terrain, Ling Shuang walked up to the young man.

"You've taken a fancy to the village chief?"

"Is that how you see me?"

“This village isn’t big, and repairing a road wouldn’t require the group to go through a lot of trouble, but you’re not the kind of person who suddenly starts doing charity.”

“Ms. Ling Shuang, you seem to harbor a great deal of malice towards me.”

Ling Yun raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a strange expression.

Ling Shuang didn't mince words any longer: "You didn't hide anything from me when you did those things. Whether it was Meng Hao or Gao Qiang, even though they didn't seem to have a direct relationship with you, they both ended up in terrible situations."

"Afraid?"

"What good is being afraid? Once I'm on your pirate ship, where else can I go?"

Ling Yun embraced her without any hesitation in front of outsiders, and whispered in her ear, which was adorned with transparent crystal earrings: "The secrets to longevity are twofold: one is to keep breathing and not stop, and the other is to mind your own business."

"Chairman Ling, you've left me with so many messes; I'm afraid I won't live long."

Ling Yun knew that Ling Shuang was telling the truth. He was a carefree manager who did nothing, but Ling Shuang had to handle everything behind the scenes.

"When I finally concoct a longevity elixir, you'll be the first one I give you."

"You're so nice," Ling Shuang said irritably. "You're afraid I won't live long, so you want me to be welded to my workstation for the rest of my life, right?"

Li Mengxuan also saw the two's intimate actions, but she didn't think much of it. Ling Shuang had publicly acknowledged that Ling Yun was her fiancé, so any intimacy between them was normal.

However, there are other opinions online, and many feminist conspiracy theorists believe that Ling Shuang's move is a way of biding her time and waiting for the right moment to regain control of the company and show her strong female lead style.

While the workers were taking measurements, Lingyun also took the opportunity to go to the back mountain.

The construction team arrived in Taoyuan Village with great fanfare. The sudden intrusion of so many outsiders into such a remote place, and the subsequent arrival of machinery in the mountains, was bound to alarm Shan Yaozong.

If he were to cower like a coward, that would be one thing, but if he dares to show himself at this time, he will definitely give himself away.

If innocent workers are implicated as a result, Lingyun will naturally compensate them.

This mountain area is quite large, with a very good ecosystem. It's not well-managed, and people often go up the mountain to cut firewood and bamboo.

Ling Yun moved through the area but found no trace of the old poison master. However, he could smell a faint scent in the air again, proving that the other party had indeed been here.

That evening, Li Mengxuan treated the construction team to dinner at a farmhouse restaurant in the village. Ling Yun and the women were in a private room, and Li Mengxuan also sat at the same table.

"Chairman Ling, let me toast you to thank you for your contributions to Taoyuan Village! I'll drink this, you can drink as you please."

After clinking glasses with Ling Yun, Li Mengxuan drank the entire glass in one gulp to show her sincerity.

She had a decent alcohol tolerance and was very restrained; she barely drank any more after that.

Ling Yun didn't have the perverse pleasure of deliberately getting women drunk. He asked the waiter to bring a few drinks, and everyone chatted while drinking.

There was a commotion outside. A group of rough men were talking nonsense, especially after drinking. They might tell some dirty jokes. It was really inappropriate to leave a woman at the table.

All the female workers from the construction team were in this private room. They all had a good impression of the gentle and handsome Ling Yun. Some of the female workers even tried to get close to Ling Yun under the guise of toasting, but Ling Lan secretly stopped them.

Ling Lan wanted to help expand Ling Yun's harem, but not just anyone was qualified to enter.

The people in the hall were all drunk. Someone suggested going to toast Ling Yun, but the construction team leader stopped them.

"Chairman Ling is having a good meal, why are you going over there to cause trouble?"

They looked at each other, realizing what was happening, and then laughed and sat back down.

That evening, Ling Lan took Li Mengxuan home.

"Chairman Ling, would you like to come in and have a seat?"

Ling Shuang nudged Ling Yun with her elbow and whispered, "They're letting you stay the night."

Ling Yun secretly pinched her beautiful buttocks, thought for a moment, and then got up and opened the car door: "Alright, I also have something I want to talk to Village Chief Li about."
