Chapter 937: Li Min
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Several months passed, and it was the end of the year.
Su Xiaolu brought Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao to Changzhou City and prepared to leave after the new year.
The last time Su Xiaolu came to Changzhou was twenty years ago. After twenty years, Changzhou became even more prosperous.
It must be very lively to celebrate the new year here.
After checking into the inn, they used the best things. It was still safe in the city. During the day, Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao could go out and shop and come back at night.
They could also buy some things. Su Xiaolu would store them in the meson space.
Su Xiaolu was woken up by a knock on the door.
For the past few days, her parents would go out and walk around the city every day. Su Xiaolu slept until noon before they came back for lunch.
Hearing the knock on the door, Su Xiaolu opened her eyes. She felt that it was not noon yet.
She got up and opened the door. What greeted her was a young lady, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
“Hello, my name is Li Min.”
Li Min smiled kindly. After all, she was the one who came to disturb them first. She should be more polite than usual.
Su Xiaolu looked at Li Min. Seeing that she was so polite, she smiled gently. “Hello, what’s the matter?”
She was sure that she did not know Li Min, but Su Xiaolu was puzzled when Li Min suddenly looked for her.
Li Min was a little helpless. Everyone said that she looked like her father, but Miss Zhao Xiaolu didn’t recognize her much. This meant that she had already forgotten her father completely, but her father couldn’t forget her. Li Min quickly calmed down and said frankly, “Hello, Miss Zhao. My name is Li Min. My father is Li Kuo. Miss Zhao was once fated to meet my father more than 20 years ago. Do you remember?”
Li Min had a strong intuition that she was not mistaken. The person in front of her, who did not look old at all, was the expert her father often mentioned. It was no secret that cultivators had advanced cultivation levels and external appearances.
Su Xiaolu looked at Li Min. She remembered Li Kuo, the second young master of the Li family. She had once met him in Changzhou.
They had met once before. Su Xiaolu looked at Li Min. She did not look like she was here to cause trouble. Instead, she looked like she had a favor to ask of her. Although she hid it very well, Su Xiaolu could already tell from her physiognomy that her parents had been invaded by black gas. Her father, Li Kuo, was seriously ill.
“I remember Li Kuo.”
Su Xiaolu looked at Li Min and spoke.
Li Min smiled and knelt down to beg piously, “Miss Zhao, can I invite you to see my father? He’s seriously ill and is about to die. My father looks up to you, so he has always placed your portrait in the study. He said that if we meet again one day, he will definitely invite you into the residence to catch up and ask you if the outside world is exciting. A few days ago, the servants reported to me that they saw you here. I didn’t believe it, but from the looks of it today, I know that the Miss Zhao my father wants to see again is you.”
Li Min’s gaze was fervent. She felt that this was fate.
Su Xiaolu helped Li Min up. She had not forgotten the past. She did not agree with Li Min immediately. Instead, she asked, “Your mother…”
Li Min knew what Su Xiaolu was worried about when she heard that. She smiled and replied, “Miss Zhao, don’t worry. My mother and my father are very loving. Miss Zhao is a very special person. My mother has always wanted to see you. If fate allows it, she also wants to see the Miss Zhao that my father admires.”
Seeing that Li Min was very honest, Su Xiaolu smiled faintly. “In that case, let’s go. ”
Li Min nodded happily.
Su Xiaolu instructed the innkeeper to let Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao know to prevent them from being anxious when they returned.
Su Xiaolu and Li Min returned to the Li Residence. The current Li Residence was very different from the past, but it remained exquisite and luxurious. Su Xiaolu met Li Kuo’s wife, Madam Huang.
When Madam Huang saw Su Xiaolu, she was very polite and respectful. She smiled gently and said, “Miss Zhao, we’re really fated. Master will definitely be very happy to see you.”
Su Xiaolu’s expression was calm. She said, “Let’s see Master Li first. I’m also a doctor. I can take his pulse.”
With just a few glances, Su Xiaolu knew that Madam Huang respected her and had no other intentions.
When Su Xiaolu said that, Madam Huang immediately led Su Xiaolu to see Li Kuo.
Li Kuo lay on the bed, his body getting worse and worse. His illness was caused by eating a strange fruit last year. He said that it was an item from another country and was very precious. The taste was average when he ate it, and he only took a small bite.
Who knew that things would be ruined? At that time, he felt terrible. His entire body was red and swollen. Later on, after he recovered, his body was not good either.
Recently, he had accidentally caught a cold and couldn’t even take medicine well. He thought that he was going to die.
His wife and daughter were very worried. In the past year, they had been asking around about the Miss Zhao he was thinking about, but they could not find her no matter what. Back then, Miss Zhao’s name, Zhao Xiaolu, was fake. They would probably never see her again.
In a daze, he heard footsteps.
He opened his eyes. He thought it was Madam Huang, but that figure didn’t look like her at all. Gradually, his eyes widened in disbelief. He exclaimed, “Zhao, Zhao, Miss Zhao?”
Apart from being a little taller and looking more mature, this Miss Zhao and the 20-odd-vear-old Miss Zhao had not changed at all. Li Kuo was extremelv surprised. He was in a daze and could not tell if this was a dream or an illusion.
It was not until he saw the familiar figure beside Su Xiaolu that Li Kuo came back to his senses. “Madam, what, what’s going on?”
After seeing Madam Huang, Li Kuo believed that this was all real.
Madam Huang smiled and sat down by the bed. She said with a smile, “Master, Min Min met Miss Zhao and invited her to see you.”
Li Kuo opened his mouth in surprise. This was too much of a coincidence. Su Xiaolu smiled at Li Kuo and said, “Hello, Master Li. Long time no see.”
Li Kuo had not changed much. The only change was that he had aged.
Su Xiaolu sat down by the bed and took Li Kuo’s pulse.
Li Kuo was quiet. He was shocked and excited. To be able to see the person he missed so much at this time, he could die without regrets.
Li Kuo asked impatiently, “Miss Zhao, you’ve been to many places over the years, right? Was it very exciting outside? Miss Zhao must have made more friends.
Su Xiaolu nodded. “No, I haven’t been to many places.”
Su Xiaolu retracted her hand, took out a pen and paper, and began to write the prescription. She said to Li Min, “This is the aftereffect of your father’s allergy to food. Coupled with the fact that he caught a cold. Take these medicines. He’ll be cured in ten days. His old illness won’t relapse in the future.”
Li Min happily took it and hurriedly left.
“Young Master Li, rest well. When you recover, you’re welcome to come and drink with me. It’s getting late. I’ll leave first. If I go back late, my parents will be worried. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Su Xiaolu.” With that, Su Xiaolu stood up and bade farewell.
Madam Huang quickly gave Li Kuo a reassuring look. She personally sent Su Xiaolu out of the residence..
