"Yes, but I need some time to prepare the medicinal materials," Lin Yifan answered.

At that moment, he had already figured out how to treat the two diseases.

To treat these two diseases, he needed some rather precious medicinal materials; and since it was highly likely that these materials were not available in the pharmacy, he needed time to search for and prepare them.

"Heart disease can be cured too?" An Zheng was surprised, as he hadn't expected this outcome.

Modern medicine was simply incapable of curing such a terrible disease completely, only managing symptoms with continuous medication; but now, hearing that Lin Yifan claimed to have a cure, skepticism was inevitable.

"Why not? Just because modern medicine is at a loss doesn't mean there is no cure. Chairman An, rest assured, I'll definitely cure your illness," Lin Yifan confidently responded.

Seeing his confidence, An Zheng also held onto a hopeful heart and expressed his gratitude, "Then I shall thank Brother Lin here in advance."

"Don't mention it. Chairman An, you're going to be my father-in-law in the future, so how could I, as your son-in-law, allow anything to happen to you? Am I right?" Lin Yifan raised an eyebrow and said with a sly smile.

His intention was quite clear.

"Haha! That's true, that's true! It looks like I'm blessed because of my daughter!" An Zheng laughed heartily in response.

"Dad! You've agreed to this marriage too?" An Qi asked curiously.

Her father showed no aversion and even seemed to be chatting and laughing, as if he had consented.

"If you don't mind, what's there for me to object to? Besides, Little Brother Lin has risked his life to save you so many times, your life has long belonged to him; since he loves you so much, and you love him the same, I believe you both will be very happy together; as long as you're happy, we as your parents will be at ease," An Zheng answered.

"Thank you, Father, for giving your blessing!" An Qi bowed deeply, sincerely thankful.

Fortunately, her parents were open-minded and didn't act like Zhou Jiajia's parents, who disregarded their daughter's happiness and tried to marry her off to a bad match just for material gain.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

At that moment, Zhou Jiajia's parents stormed in, angrily exclaiming, "We do not agree to this marriage!"

The two of them had been sneaking around outside, eavesdropping for a while; now hearing that their future rich son-in-law was going to marry another woman, they were naturally unhappy. This concerned the future division of Jiajia's property—another person meant one less share for them, a considerable loss they couldn't accept.

"What business is it of yours?" Lin Yifan asked angrily.

Just seeing this greedy couple brought back shameful memories, which filled him with disgust and intense resentment.

"Mom, Dad, what are you doing here?" Zhou Jiajia asked curiously.

In the past months, her parents had taken care of her and shown concerns, which had improved their relationship considerably; thus, she had come to respect her elderly parents once again.

Zhou Jiajia's parents didn't answer her question, but instead confronted Lin Yifan, "What did you say? Is that how you speak to your future in-laws?"

"Do you even deserve to be my parents-in-law?" Lin Yifan sneered in response.

Originally, when he went to propose marriage, he begged them shamelessly to consent to his marriage with Zhou Jiajia, but these two undesirables simply refused outright, even threatening Zhou Jiajia with death if she were to be with him; now, how things have changed, once he became a big boss, they came grovelling, incessantly calling him son-in-law, truly disgusting.

"How do we not deserve it? Jiajia was born to us, raised by us. Has she ever brought shame upon you?" Zhou's father challenged.

"From the moment you gave birth to her, she became an independent individual, not controlled by anyone, nor belonging to anyone; what concern is she of yours?" Lin Yifan retorted.

"But Jiajia is our daughter, you have no objections to that, right? If you marry her, we'll legally be your parents-in-law, you have to acknowledge us whether you like it or not," Zhou's father thundered, trying to force Lin Yifan to submit.

However, Lin Yifan was always stubborn, so how could he succumb to their authority? Righteously, he said, "Hmph! I don't know what Jiajia thinks, but I, Lin, will absolutely not recognize you as my parents-in-law. Forget about it, I won't give you a dime."

"You… Fine! Then we absolutely won't allow our daughter to marry someone like you who lacks respect for elders. Just you wait." Zhou's father's eyes bulged with fury, as the fire of anger rose high within him; he then commanded, "Jiajia, come back with us!"

"I'm not going!" Zhou Jiajia stubbornly replied.

In this life, she loved only Lin Yifan. Wherever Lin Yifan went, she would follow, only then could she survive.

"What? Do you really not recognize us as your parents? Do you really want to see your two old folks die alone, uncared for?" Zhou's father questioned.

"It's not that I don't recognize you, but you only recognize money. Money is your daughter, not me. In the future, I'll send money to you every month, but it won't be much. You two better look after yourselves," Zhou Jiajia firmly answered.

She had already suffered once and didn't want to experience it again, so no matter what, she would not leave Lin Yifan to go with them.

"You… you unfilial daughter, I'll beat you to death." Having said that, Zhou's father raised his hand to strike Zhou Jiajia.

At that moment, Lin Yifan quickly reached out his hand, gently catching the swiftly descending slap.

Zhou Jiajia was his woman, and he would not allow her to be bullied by anyone, including her parents.

With his right hand firmly caught by Lin Yifan, Zhou's father couldn't exert any strength. Now angry and frustrated, yet helpless, he faced the younger man who he simply didn't have the strength to confront, and so he had no choice but to compromise.

"Let go!"

"Hmph! I'm giving you one more chance. If you dare to lay a hand on Jiajia again, I won't let you off," Lin Yifan threatened, pushing Zhou's father's hand away.

Meanwhile, Zhou Jiajia, the person at the center of it all, never expected her own father to actually hit her, leaving her utterly disheartened. Thankfully, she had resolved to follow Lin Yifan; otherwise, she would have been ruined.

Having lost face, Zhou's father and mother felt too embarrassed to stay at the scene any longer, but before they left, they threatened, "If you dare to take two wives, we'll accuse you of bigamy."

After hearing this, Lin Yifan scoffed indifferently, then calmly replied, "Fine! I'll wait for your lawsuit."

Since learning of the existence of Cultivators, he had realized that it was a world dominated by strength. As long as you possess strength, even the nation, so what?

Watching the two mercenary old people leave, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, especially Lin Yifan. He had long found them disagreeable but had refrained from taking action out of respect for Zhou Jiajia.
