The person who suddenly entered the rental house was none other than Logan Du, who had returned.
When he left earlier, it seemed like he had seen Aiden Ye.
So he came back and, indeed, it was Aiden Ye.
"What did you call him?" Benjamin Duan looked at Logan Du in shock.
"Benjamin Duan, this is the real miracle doctor I told you about, my master!" Logan Du replied.
"Mr. Du, have you lost your mind? He's just a live-in son-in-law. How could he possibly be your master?" Benjamin Duan said in disbelief.
"Mr. Du, you haven't mistaken him for someone else, have you?" Jayden Ning also didn't believe it.
After all, he thought that anyone who could be Logan Du's master must be at least in their seventies or eighties, which is why he had earlier referred to him respectfully.
Aiden Ye was only in his twenties; how could he possibly be Logan Du's master?
Logan Du's expression darkened at their words. "If you continue to disrespect my master, don't blame me for being impolite!"
After saying that, he turned to Aiden Ye with a fawning expression, "Master, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to treat Sister Xandra's eyes," Aiden Ye replied simply, then added, "I've said before, don't call me master."
"Yes, Master!" Logan Du responded respectfully.
Seeing this, Benjamin Duan was completely dumbfounded.
It turned out that what Aiden Ye said was true.
He really was Logan Du's master.
And he hadn’t even acknowledged Logan Du as his disciple.
"Uncle Ning, may I start treating Sister Xandra now?" Aiden Ye looked at Jayden Ning.
"Yes, you can..." Jayden Ning was still in a daze.
Aiden Ye shook his head, no longer wasting words, and began to apply the needles to Xandra Ning.
After about fifteen minutes, Aiden Ye finished the acupuncture and wrapped Xandra Ning's eyes in a bandage.
He had infused it with his specially made herbal medicine.
"Aiden Ye, are you sure Xandra's eyes will recover?" Jayden Ning couldn't help but ask.
"Don't doubt my master's medical skills. If Master says she will recover, she definitely will!" Logan Du spoke up first.
Aiden Ye nodded, "Just change the bandage three times a day, and in three days, Sister Xandra's eyes will regain their sight."
Since Logan Du had said so, Jayden Ning naturally wouldn't doubt any further.
His attitude towards Aiden Ye improved significantly.
After all, the thought of his daughter regaining her sight was something they had not even dared to dream of.
"Uncle Ning, Aunt Chen, I know I've caused harm to Sister Xandra and to you, but please believe me, I will make it up to you," Aiden Ye said to the old couple.
"Aiden Ye, I'm not an unreasonable person. Although you've caused us so much suffering, if you cure Xandra's eyes, we're even," Jayden Ning said with a sigh.
Although he had lost his former wealth, at least his daughter could see again.
As a result, he didn't hate Aiden Ye as much anymore.
"Well, it's quite lively here today."
At that moment, a man with a shifty appearance walked into the rental house.
It was the landlord, Jack Zhou.
Seeing Jack Zhou arrive, the old couple's expressions instantly changed.
Their expressions stiffened immediately.
They didn't need to guess why Jack Zhou was here.
He didn't pay attention to anyone else; his gaze lingered on Wendy Chen's plump body, and he said with a leering tone, "Jayden Ning, is the rent ready?"
"Just give me a few more days. In a few days, I'll definitely pay," Jayden Ning said, forcing a smile, remembering Jack Zhou's previous suggestion for Wendy Chen to sleep with him to cover the rent. It made him feel incredibly humiliated, but he had no choice but to speak with a smile.
"A few more days? Weren't you all tough yesterday?" Jack Zhou sneered.
Jayden Ning was too embarrassed to reply.
Wendy Chen was also biting her teeth in silence.
"Jayden Ning, I know your family's been struggling, so I thought of a way to help you lessen the burden. Think about it, just let your wife spread her legs, and you can skip three months of rent. How many bottles would you have to pick up to make that much?" Jack Zhou seemed to have Jayden Ning cornered.
"Jack Zhou, to hell with you!" Jayden Ning couldn't hold back anymore and cursed.
"Oho, cursing now, are we? Believe it or not, I'll kick you out right now?" Jack Zhou said coldly.
Hearing about being kicked out, Jayden Ning backed down.
Xandra Ning was in a critical period of treatment, and they couldn't afford to be evicted.
Seeing Jayden Ning quiet down, Jack Zhou said with a smirk, "Wendy Chen, you're so pretty. I've wanted you for a long time. How about this? Let me have you once, and I'll give you ten thousand yuan. That way, you can improve your life and have extra money for your daughter's treatment."
"Jack Zhou, what nonsense are you spouting? I'll never agree!"
Wendy Chen was shocked that Jack Zhou would speak such thoughts out loud in front of so many people, her cheeks flaming red.
She was embarrassed beyond measure.
"Don't agree? Then please move out of my house. Oh, and you've damaged my property during your stay, so you'll have to pay for that too, a hundred thousand yuan, not a penny less!" Jack Zhou said coldly.
"What, a hundred thousand? You're being unreasonable!" Xandra Ning's face turned sour.
"Heh, my house, I'll charge what I want!"
At this point, Aiden Ye had a good idea of the situation.
He looked at Jayden Ning with confusion and said, "Uncle Ning, didn't I give you a bank card? Didn't you withdraw money?"
"I did."
"Then why do you still owe rent?"
"There was only five thousand yuan on your card," Jayden Ning whispered.
Seeing this, Benjamin Duan knew his chance to shine had come again.
"Uncle Ning, I'll cover this for you," he said, pulling out his phone and transferring a hundred thousand yuan to Jack Zhou.
Jack Zhou, despite being reluctant, couldn't say much since the money was paid, and it was a lot.
It was just a shame he couldn't have his way with Wendy Chen.
"Thank you so much, Benjamin Duan," Jayden Ning said, genuinely grateful.
After all, as a man, he had allowed his wife to be so humiliated.
Sometimes, the lack of money can indeed be the downfall of a strong man.
If he couldn't come up with the money today, who knows what might have...
Jayden Ning didn't dare to think further.
"By the way, I just bought a villa, over three hundred square meters. You can take Xandra to live there. I'll even hire a maid to make it easier to take care of Xandra," Benjamin Duan said, seizing the moment.
After speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Aiden Ye, thinking, so what if he cured Xandra Ning?
He's still a pauper.
In this society, without money, you can hardly get by.
Aiden Ye was a bit puzzled; his master had said there was no limit on that card. Why was there only five thousand yuan?
"Sister Xandra, I have a house too, and I've already prepared a room for you guys. You can move in today," Aiden Ye said.
"You have a house, Aiden Ye? Where is it? It is not in the twentieth ring of Jiangdu, right? Mine is a villa, a better environment which helps Xandra's recovery."
