and one of its tallest structures, with sixty-nine floors housing over a thousand companies of various sizes. It was originally intended to be named the Jianghai Tower but due to disagreement from the...Chapter 782: To Live Until Thirty

"Thank you, Uncle Shi." Yun Qing responded softly.

"Qingqing, I know these matters are sudden and difficult for you to accept..." Shi Changgeng sighed gently.

"It's not like that, Uncle Shi," Yun Qing interrupted Shi Changgeng. "To be honest, although it is sudden, I'm actually very happy. I'm glad Mom married you, and I'm also happy to have a sister now. As you said just now, you and Chun Chun will become my family, the only true family for me."

"Good, good, Qingqing! It's wonderful that you feel this way!" Shi Changgeng seemed very pleased. "Let’s not talk about other things right now; Xiumei should have finished cooking. Let's go eat first, yes, let's enjoy a proper family dinner!"

Shi Changgeng had guessed correctly; when he left the bedroom, Yun Xiumei was bringing dishes to the table.

The atmosphere during dinner was quite harmonious. Shi Changgeng appeared very happy and drank half a catty of white liquor, while Xia Tian drank more. This alcohol was privately brewed and somewhat aged, which Xia Tian found delicious; hence, he finished off what Shi Changgeng hadn't drunk, at least two catties worth.

"Xia, your alcohol tolerance is really impressive!" Shi Changgeng immediately looked at Xia with new respect. "Indeed, it's truly remarkable! I've always believed that men who can hold their liquor are real men. With you taking care of Qing, I feel much more reassured!"

Before Xia could respond, Shi Changgeng continued, "Actually, Xiaohu is quite a drinker too, but he often needs to drive, so he doesn't usually indulge in alcohol these days. Let me tell you something, Xiaohu really is talented; he once served in Black Panther. Have you heard of the Black Panther unit It's our country’s top special forces!"

"Director, don’t praise me," Shi Xiaohu said somewhat sheepishly. "It’s true I went through training with them, but it was just for a short while and I didn't pass the final assessment."

"Black Panther" Xia casually remarked. "That place isn't much to write home about."

Shi Changgeng, who had been in full flow, couldn’t help but pause upon hearing this; Shi Xiaohu also felt a bit awkward.

"Hey, what are you saying" Yun Qing nudged Xia. "Don't talk nonsense."

"I’m not talking nonsense," Xia protested with an innocent expression. "The former captain of the Black Panther unit was that fool Li Mingguang; I nearly killed him. But I heard he's dead now."

"Is it really true" Yun Qing sounded a bit doubtful.

"I heard that the Black Panther team's captain is named Li Mingguang, but I haven't seen him myself. At that time, our instructor surnamed Song." Shih Xiaohu continued to say.

"Oh, that guy is called Song Weiguo, he’s much more capable than Li Mingguang, but he's not my match either," Summer said in a casual manner.

Shih Xiaohu couldn't help being stunned: "Mr. Xia, do you really know Instructor Song"

"I don’t know him well." Summer casually replied.

Shih Xiaohu actually believed what Summer said; in his opinion, it was unlikely for Summer to be very familiar with Song Weiguo.

"Cough cough, let's not talk about this anymore. Let’s eat, let’s eat!" Shih Changgeng spoke from the side at this moment.

Yun Qing looked at Xia Tian with a strange expression, and she suddenly felt that what the guy just said might actually be true.

During the meal, little girl Shi Chun remained very quiet. She also ate very little; almost nothing. Every now and then, she would glance over at Yun Qing, clearly full of curiosity about this sister.

"Chun Chun, why aren't you eating" Yun Qing asked gently. The sudden appearance of a younger sister, although initially surprising to her, made her genuinely happy once she calmed down; however, seeing that the little sister looked frail and ate so little, it couldn’t help but cause her some worry.

"Sister, I'm full," Shi Chun replied in a soft voice.

"But I see you haven't eaten much at all. You've only drunk half a bowl of soup," Yun Qing couldn't help but say.

"Qingqing, Chun Chun can only eat this much." Shi Changgeng sighed softly; although he was initially very happy, the situation now made him slightly melancholic. "Your mother has always been in poor health, and Chun Chun was born prematurely, so her constitution is quite weak. Over these years, I have been treating her with traditional Chinese medicine, though she’s better than before, but her condition still isn't good."

"Oh Is Chun Chun alright then" Yun Qing asked anxiously; finally understanding that this younger sister wasn’t just looking sick but was actually ill.

"It's just that her body is weaker, but it's not a big problem. She gets sick easily and might catch a cold when the weather changes, but fortunately, she hasn't had any major illnesses these past few years." Shi Changgeng seemed rather helpless. "I've taken Chun Chun to see several doctors over the years, but none of them could do much for her. Thankfully, there's an elderly traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who prescribed some herbal medicines for Chun Chun to slowly adjust and improve her health. These past few years, Chun Chun’s condition has slightly improved, so I believe it will get better eventually."

"It's good that it's not a serious issue," Yun Qing sighed in relief.

“Senior Sister Yun Qing, actually, she won’t recover easily,” Xia Tian suddenly chimed in at this moment.

Yun Qing was immediately alarmed and asked hurriedly, "What do you mean by that"

"She has a weak constitution from birth. The treatments later on can only address the symptoms but not the root cause," Xia Tian said as he quickly reached out to grip Shi Chun's wrist. After several seconds, he continued, "Hmm, the doctor who prescribed her medication is quite competent. Otherwise, she wouldn't have lived past ten years old; now, she should be able to live until around thirty, but she can't get married or have children."

"What Xia Tian, are you a doctor too" Shi Changgeng's expression changed slightly as he asked, "Is what you're saying true"

“Yes, Uncle Shi, he is a doctor,” Yun Qing remembered this at that moment and immediately felt like she had found her savior. She grabbed Xia Tian’s hand tightly, “You must have a way to cure Chun Chun, right”

"Sis Yunqing, of course there's a way. As long as the person isn't dead, I can heal them."

"Then why don't you treat Chun for her illness right away" Yunqing was now quite anxious; she had just found out she had a sister and hadn’t had time to be happy about it when she learned that this sister could not live a normal life and would only live until she was thirty. How could she not be anxious

"Sis Yunqing, there's still some trouble with this," Summer said reluctantly.

"What kind of trouble" Yunqing asked anxiously. "I don't care about any trouble; you just have to cure her!"

"Yunqing, don’t be so anxious." Shichanggeng wasn’t quite sure what was going on but tried to calm her down anyway. "Even if we need to treat the illness, there’s no rush. Let's finish eating first."

"That's right," Summer added, "there’s no need to be so rushed, Sis Yunqing; it’s not a big deal if it’s a bit later."

Yunqing calmed down slightly and realized she was indeed getting too anxious.Even though Lei Jun feared nothing and no one, not even death, he still feared Le Zhitian."Old Master Lei," Ye Shaoyong came over to greet Le Zhitian at this moment."Hello, Old Master Lei." Leng Bingb...
