Semua Bab Billionaire's Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife: Bab 391 - Bab 400

Adversary!”Adriana had barely mentioned Yun Hanwen being in India when Mr. Teng suddenly reacted like an old beast whose reverse scale had been touched. Though the fury of his youth had dulled with age, the majesty he once commanded was still present. The flames burning in his eyes were enough to silence everyone in the room.Sensing his master's anger, the young boy quietly dragged over a chair that seemed far too heavy and large for him. He waited beside it silently, arms hanging down. Clearly, he knew his master’s temperament very well.Mr. Teng slowly sat down. His hand clenched the cane tightly, the veins on the back of it bulging like green snakes threatening to break through the skin.Calvin shot Adriana a sideways glance, half amused. It was fortunate that her nerves were steady—at least she hadn’t been scared stiff.Adriana calmly picked up the teacup on the table and held it out with both hands. “Mr. Teng, please moisten your throat.”He sneered coldly and didn’t take the t

This was the first time the two of them had ever climbed a mountain together, and it was also the first time Calvin truly saw how poor Adriana’s physical abilities were.She was carrying a small hiking bag with water and a few supplies. It wasn’t particularly large, but on her slim back, it looked like a heavy boulder weighing her down.In less than twenty minutes, Adriana was already pressing her waist and panting. “Let’s take a break,” she gasped. “I need to rest.”Calvin looked down at her flushed face from two steps above. “Do you still want to keep going?”Adriana, utterly exhausted, leaned against the guardrail. Even unscrewing the cap of her water bottle seemed beyond her strength. “What’s the rush? The cable car is fast anyway.”Calvin watched her struggle to open the bottle. With a helpless sigh, he stepped down, took the bottle from her hand, clamped it under his arm,

Adriana stepped over the wooden threshold, a dozen centimeters high, and entered the compartment. In the bright candlelight, she saw an old man sitting cross-legged on a futon. Though his head was shaved and bore no incense scars, his peaceful expression radiated a lightness—an air of insight that seemed to pierce through worldly matters.Looking closely, his face bore a surprising resemblance to Mr. Teng.Could he be related to Mr. Teng?This was something the young apprentice hadn’t mentioned—perhaps his master, still at a young age, wasn’t ready to share everything on his mind.With one hand, the old man slowly struck a wooden fish, each tap rhythmic and gentle, the sound inexplicably soothing.Compared to Mr. Teng’s cold seriousness, the old man before her appeared far kinder.Adriana softly greeted him, “Good day, Master Sunyata (Emptymind).”Calvin suspected there was something wrong with him—he had actually accompanied Adriana on this strange visit. She wanted to see an old mon

Adriana thought that Calvin must not have heard of the word “human difficulty.”Calvin had always been lonely and arrogant, but not to the extent that he would disrespect his elders. So what was the reason for his strong prejudice against Sunyata?With doubts in her mind, Adriana lowered her head and messaged Calvin: (When you get off the plane later, please control your temper. Whether Mr. Teng can cure you depends on the outcome of their exchange. Didn’t you say you don’t want to go home empty-handed? Then please restrain yourself.)Now, it wasn’t just that he didn’t want to waste time—Adriana didn’t either. She had come all this way, climbed the mountain, and worked so hard. Was it all going to end in failure?After receiving her message, Calvin looked over lazily.Up in the sky, the light struck Adriana’s snowy-bright skin. Her pupils appeared a light brown under the strong sunlight. Her long, rooted lashes cast gentle shadows. Her ears looked almost translucent from the light, an

It was a long time before Adriana learned the full story—told to her by Master Sunyata’s own son.More than sixty years ago, Sunyata and his wife, Han Lan, were married. In that era of arranged marriages—based on parental word and matchmakers’ agreements—young people had little say. The two had no time to develop feelings, let alone love. But shortly after the wedding, they gave birth to a son named Teng Zhifang, meaning “inheritor of medicine,” one destined to prescribe cures and heal illness. Later, he chose to take his mother’s surname, becoming Han Zhifang—the overseas Chinese doctor who had once cured Adriana’s parents.When his son was not yet five years old, Sunyata mistakenly entered the army and went to the battlefield, becoming a war doctor and traveling through many countries.He and his family were separated for seven or eight years…It was during that time that Mr. Teng took on the role of caring for the orphaned and widowed. After spending so much time together, the two
