Chapter 1 Ancestral Jade Pendant
"Director Chen, please forgive me a few more days, I will definitely make up the expenses."
Outside the ward, Lu Zheng pleaded with a middle-aged doctor in a white coat.
"Do you believe this?" The middle-aged doctor sneered and spoke unceremoniously, "You can't even pay the hospitalization fee, you still want the hospital to operate on your mother, dream?!" Just today! If you can't pay the hospitalization fee, get me out of the hospital! ”
After speaking, the middle-aged doctor snorted coldly and bumped into Lu Zheng, who was in the way, without giving Lu Zheng a chance to say more.
Lu Zheng looked at the back of the middle-aged doctor leaving, his face full of bitterness. After a moment, he turned his head to look carefully at the ward, and was relieved to see that his sleeping mother had not been woken up by the conversation he had just had.
When he saw his mother's pale and almost bloodless face, and even when he fell asleep, he still subconsciously frowned because of the pain, Lu Zheng's heart rose again.
Lu Zheng's mother has leukemia, and it is also the most difficult to treat acute myeloid leukemia, which is very dangerous. Only with a bone marrow transplant can there be a cure!
The surgery fee can be as high as 300,000 yuan, which is an astronomical amount for Lu Zheng today!
Not to mention 300,000, now he can't even take out 300 yuan!
Mother's illness can't be delayed!
"That's the only way to try!"
Lu Zheng gritted his teeth, with a determined look in his eyes, and did not go back to the ward, but walked towards the outside of the inpatient department.
After leaving the hospital, Lu Zheng went straight to the antique street next to the university town. After looking at it for a while, I finally chose a jade shop and walked in.
Now the only valuable thing in Lu Zheng's hand is a piece of jade pendant in his pocket, which was a birthday gift from his father on his eighteenth birthday.
The jade pendant is larger than the coin, like mutton fat jade but it is not, there are no patterns and carvings on it, and it looks very quaint.
At that time, his father solemnly reminded him that the jade pendant was an ancestral heirloom of the Lu family, and its value was immeasurable. No matter when, no matter how difficult the situation is, you must not show the jade pendant, otherwise, it will invite death!
If his father is still there, Lu Zheng will naturally not be reduced to the situation of selling ancestral jade pendants.
But the reality is that there is no single disaster.
Since the death of his father in a car accident, a series of blows have followed. First, the family company went bankrupt and owed a huge amount of debt, and then the mother was diagnosed with leukemia.
Now Lu Zheng not only has no money, but also has hundreds of millions of debts waiting for him to repay.
For Lu Zheng, the most important thing at this time is to cure his mother's illness. No matter how valuable the jade pendant is, it is also something outside the body, and it is not as good as the mother!
……
"Boss, do you want to collect jade?" Lu Zheng entered the store and saw that there was only a middle-aged man in Tang costume sitting and drinking tea in the store, and asked directly.
The shopkeeper glanced at Lu Zheng, spread his hands and said, "Take it and take a look." ”
Lu Zheng carefully took out the jade pendant, did not hand it to the middle-aged boss, but carefully put it on the tray in front of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper glanced at Lu Zheng in surprise, but he didn't expect Lu Zheng to even understand this rule.
When his eyes fell on the jade pendant, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly showed a touch of joy, but he pretended to be casual on his face and said: "You are inferior mutton fat jade, which is not worth much." If you are willing to sell, I will give you fifty thousand. ”
"What? Only 50,000? Lu Zheng couldn't help but exclaim.
This price is too different from his expectations.
You must know that this piece of jade is an heirloom of their Lu family. How can a treasure that can be told so solemnly by his father, who is worth nearly a billion, to be cheap?
"Boss, you don't want to look at it anymore, this piece of jade is ......," Lu Zheng said anxiously.
"Love to sell or not to sell!"
The middle-aged boss waved his hand to interrupt Lu Zheng's words, put the jade back on the table, picked up the teacup again, and put on a posture of sending off guests.
Lu Zheng's face suddenly turned ugly.
50,000 yuan, not even enough for his mother's surgery!
"Lu Zheng, why are you here?"
Just when Lu Zheng was hesitating to change stores and ask, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Lu Zheng, and he saw a pair of young men and women walking into the store.
The woman is dressed fashionably, with delicate makeup painted on her face, and she is wearing a Chanel suit, dressed as an urban beauty.
The man is also a full Givenchy, with the cuff of his left hand rolled up, revealing the watch studded with broken diamonds on his wrist.
It was the young woman who spoke.
"Oh, Xu Shao, why are you here? What a disappointment! The shopkeeper changed his previous casual attitude, and as if he had a spring under his buttocks, he bounced up, and sneered.
"I don't have a class today, so I'm going to pick a piece of jade for Lulu to play with." The young man Xu Shao said with a smile.
When Lu Zheng saw this young man and woman, his face became ugly.
Both were his classmates. Not only that, this woman dressed as an urban beauty is none other than his ex-girlfriend Zhang Lulu, who was his girlfriend a month ago!
After the accident in the Lu family, Zhang Lulu kicked Lu Zheng as soon as possible and threw herself into the arms of this "Xu Shao"!
"Lu Zheng, I'm talking to you, did you hear that?!" Seeing that Lu Zheng ignored him, Zhang Lulu felt that he was being slighted, and immediately frowned and asked.
"Miss Zhang, this kid is here to sell jade. Do you know him? The shopkeeper hurriedly said.
"Hehe, of course I know!" Xu Li smiled and took over the conversation, "Lao Zhao, you don't know yet, this Lu Shaoke is my classmate." He is a rich man in Yucheng, with a net worth of more than one billion! ”
"What?"
The shopkeeper couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and glanced at Lu Zheng in surprise.
After Xu Li finished speaking, he pretended to be annoyed and patted his head again, and said jokingly: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot, this is all the old yellow calendar." More than a month ago, he was hit by a car and died, and even his company's company is now someone else's! Now he is just a lost dog! Am I right, Lu Shao? ”
"Xu Li, don't go too far!" Lu Zheng suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth.
Zhang Lulu glanced at Lu Zheng, her face was full of disdain, as if knowing Lu Zheng was a shameful thing for her: "Lu Zheng, I remember that your family's property was sold to pay off the debt. Do you still have anything of value on you? It can't be stolen, right? ”
"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?" Lu Zheng said coldly. Unexpectedly, this woman who has been chasing him since high school, followed him all the way to Rongcheng University, and posed with a posture of "this life is not a gentleman and will not marry", will dissociate herself from him as soon as possible after the Lu family's accident.
Then he stepped on him hard, and everyone who publicized the affairs of the Lu family in the school knew about it, making Lu Zheng a "celebrity" of Rongcheng University, and he was pointed at wherever he went.
Looking back now, Lu Zheng just wants to say a word about the dog!
Zhang Lulu noticed the ridicule in Lu Zheng's eyes, and immediately became angry and screamed: "Lu Zheng, you are a stinky sling now!" Who do you have to look down on me?! ”
When his gaze fell on the jade on the table, Zhang Lulu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"This is the jade you're selling?" Zhang Lulu grabbed the jade in her hand, and her eyes showed unconcealed affection, "Lu Zheng, how can I say that I have been with you for a few months, and now that we have broken up, shouldn't you compensate me?"
This piece of jade must be given to me, and it will be regarded as the cost of my youth loss in the past few months! ”
"Dream! Give it back! ”
Lu Zheng roared angrily and hurriedly wanted to snatch back the jade pendant.
Zhang Lulu seemed to have guessed that Lu Zheng would do this, dodged backwards, dodged Lu Zheng's hand, and without paying attention, the high heels under her feet were broken, and she immediately screamed.
"Ahh Lu Zheng, you dare to hit me?! Xu Shao, Lu Zheng, he beat me! Zhang Lulu covered her ankles and screamed with resentment on her face. The face, which was still pretty, looked distorted and hideous at this time.
"Grass, how do you dare to hit Lao Tzu's woman?!" Xu Li scolded loudly, didn't give Lu Zheng a chance to speak, and smashed towards Lu Zheng's door with a punch.
Lu Zheng instinctively raised his arm to block!
Click!
A crunch of bones was heard.
Lu Zheng never thought that Xu Li's strength was so great, and it didn't give him the feeling that he was hit by a fist, but like he was hit by an angry bull.
After the severe pain, the entire right arm lost sensation.
"How the do you dare to fight back?!"
Seeing Lu Zheng blocking, Xu Li not only did not stop, but felt provoked, became more and more angry, and smashed out another punch.
This punch smashed on Lu Zheng's stomach.
"Hmm~"
Lu Zheng snorted in pain, gasped, and immediately fell to the ground and became a prawn, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead!
Pain!
It's not just a stomachache, it's a pain all over the body!
Seeing that Lu Zheng was knocked to the ground by Xu Li's two punches, Zhang Lulu didn't scream anymore, but stood up straight, looked down at Lu Zheng condescendingly, and said disdainfully: "I forgot to tell you that Xu Shaoke is a member of the Rongcheng Martial Arts Club!" Even if you are a waste, you dare to do something with Xu Shao? Act recklessly! ”
Lu Zheng was lying on the ground, glaring at the two of them, and his eyes almost burst into flames.
It's not that he doesn't want to stand up!
Now he didn't even have the strength to speak, let alone stand up. You can only express your anger with your eyes.
"What, not convinced? Why don't you loosen your bones again? Xu Li sneered, and was about to do it again, but was stopped by Zhang Lulu.
Naturally, she didn't help Lu Zheng kindly, but she was worried about causing trouble!
"Lu Zheng, do you really think I'm rare for your broken jade pendant?" Zhang Lulu played with the jade pendant in her hand, looked down at Lu Zheng, and smiled happily on her face, "I heard that your mother has leukemia, if I guess correctly, you are selling jade to raise surgery fees for your dead ghost mother, right?"
I won't let you get your wish! ”
At the same time as the words fell, Zhang Lulu's hand suddenly opened. The jade pendant fell freely under the action of gravity and smashed to the ground with a "ding".
However, it did not break.
Before Lu Zheng could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhang Lulu suddenly raised her right foot and stepped on the jade pendant with her slender heel.
"Don't!"
Lu Zheng suddenly guessed Zhang Lulu's intentions, and he shouted out of nowhere, and hurriedly raised his hand to block it while speaking, wanting to protect the jade pendant with his hand.
However, it was still a step too late!
Boom~!
The jade pendant is torn apart!
"Ah......h
Lu Zheng looked at the jade pendant that was trampled into slag, completely crazy, his eyes were blood-red, and he roared angrily from his mouth, as if he wanted to eat people.
The jade pendant is the ancestral heirloom of his Lu family, the treasure that his father solemnly explained that must be properly preserved, and the only hope to save his mother!
Now, it has been ruined by Zhang Lulu!
"Why?! Why! I asked myself, I've never been sorry for you, why did you do this?! Lu Zheng roared angrily, glaring at Zhang Lulu angrily, his face distorted, and his eyes were about to split.
"Because, it's fun!" Zhang Lulu squatted down and looked directly at Lu Zheng, and said lightly, "Remember!" That's the price you paid for looking down on me just now! ”
At this moment, she felt like a queen who was high up and held the power of life and death, and her heart was extremely happy.
"Zhang Lulu! You're damned! ”
Lu Zheng roared angrily, feeling that his body was about to explode. He has never hated a person like he does now, and he can't wait to tear Zhang Lulu apart and break his body into thousands of pieces!
"I didn't expect to meet this stinky sling here, it's really disappointing! Xu Shao, let's go shopping, and come here another day to pick a piece of jade. Zhang Lulu didn't pay any attention to Lu Zheng anymore, but stood up and grabbed Xu Li's arm and whispered.
"It's obsessive!" Xu Li scolded in a low voice, grabbed Zhang Lulu's thin waist, and walked towards the outside of the store.
"Hey, it's your business, it's nothing to do with me!" The shopkeeper looked at Lu Zheng, who was shaped like a sculpture, and hurriedly cleared up the relationship loudly.
Lu Zheng didn't seem to hear it, his palm lightly touched the jade pendant fragments that were broken into I don't know how many pieces, and there was only one thought left in his mind, that is, the jade was broken.
The only hope to save my mother is gone!
Neither of them noticed that the moment Lu Zheng touched the jade pendant fragment, a golden light suddenly flew out from the jade pendant fragment and disappeared into Lu Zheng's eyebrows like lightning.
Lu Zheng's body was shocked, and an old man with a high crown and fluttering clothes appeared in his mind, like an ancient Confucian, and like the king of the gods who controlled the heavens, his eyes were domineering and majestic, making people dare not look at him.
"Heaven and earth are furnaces and chemicals, and the world is born and destroyed by a thought. The immortal road is endless, and I only want to be a flat boat......"
The old man sighed faintly.
The old and majestic voice resounded in Lu Zheng's mind, like thunder, like a flood of bells, deafening.
"My descendants, thou shalt inherit the mantle of this throne today, and henceforth thou shalt be extraordinary......"
After the words fell, the old man turned into a golden light again, and then a large number of memories appeared in Lu Zheng's mind. Medical Taoism, feng shui mysticism, alchemy refining tools, and the old man's lifelong practice experience are all engraved in the depths of Lu Zheng's memory.
Bell bell~!
Before Lu Zheng could read all these memories, a piercing mobile phone ringtone pulled Lu Zheng back to reality.
Lu Zheng woke up suddenly, only to realize that the pain in his body had disappeared, picked up his mobile phone and looked at the caller ID, and couldn't help but be slightly startled. The caller was Xiao Yuruo, an intern doctor at the People's Hospital.
As soon as the mobile phone was connected, Xiao Yuruo's anxious voice sounded inside.
"Lu Zheng, come to the hospital! Director Chen has taken someone to the ward, and he wants to kick your mother out of the hospital! ”
