CHAPTER 55: CHAPTER 0055: TWIN SISTERS VISIT_1

Ten days had flown by in the blink of an eye.

In those ten days, Zhang Bin had accomplished a lot.

Under Liu Ruomei’s arrangement, he had consecutively passed the Subject Two, Three, and Four exams to get his driver’s license.

He had also driven his new Ray car home. It was now parked majestically under the large banyan tree, often drawing a crowd of envious villagers.

The foundations for the two villas were being laid, and the delivered building materials were piled up on the ground like small hills. The two construction teams were bustling with activity, everyone sweating profusely and working with extreme dedication.

Liu Ruolan had delivered the medicinal herb seeds Zhang Bin needed long ago, and she had even included many he hadn’t requested. Now, except for the construction sites, the rest of Mantou Ridge was planted with medicinal herbs. Thanks to the Spiritual Water, they were growing wildly, blanketing the mountain in a beautiful, lush green.

Zhang Bin had hired nearly everyone from Sanchahe Village. The young and strong were tasked with cultivating the medicinal herbs—weeding and watering—while the elderly and less able-bodied handled the cooking. The entire village was a hive of activity. Drawn by the high wages, even people from other villages came seeking work. Every day, countless outsiders passed through Xiaofang’s home, as she was in charge of human resources.

Sales of Bright Eye Liquid remained explosive. People, including foreigners, traveled thousands of miles to Qingshan County just to treat their eye conditions. Moreover, Liu Ruolan’s research on Bright Eye Liquid had yielded a major breakthrough. It could not only cure common eye ailments but also treat retinal necrosis with remarkably significant effects. This discovery made the Bright Eye Liquid world-famous. Patients with retinal problems flocked in from all corners of the globe.

However, treating retinal necrosis wasn’t as quick as treating myopia, requiring a course of treatment over several days. As a result, the demand for Bright Eye Liquid was so high that a desperate Liu Ruolan had no choice but to raise the price.

The price for treating myopia, hyperopia, and presbyopia was now 8,000 yuan per person. Treatment for retinal necrosis was priced at 20,000 yuan per session. Each session was a day long, and a full recovery took three to five days, depending on the case.

Even so, it was still in short supply. Most of the Bright Eye Liquid was now used to treat retinal necrosis. Liu Ruolan had phoned Zhang Bin countless times asking him to increase production, to the point that Zhang Bin was almost afraid to answer her calls.

Ma Rufei had also delivered the Pill Furnace Zhang Bin had requested.

He had also dug up the ginseng he’d been cultivating on a cliff and replanted it on Mantou Ridge. Of course, he had also brought Little Fox back with him. Little Fox was so beautiful, adorable, and well-behaved that she instantly became the most popular treasure in Sanchahe Village.

There was one other thing to mention: his aunt had brought over two plump, adorable local puppies. Zhang Bin named them Big Fatty and Second Fatty. He fed them Spiritual Energy daily, so Big Fatty and Second Fatty grew quickly. They were also very smart and loved to trail after him.

Early this morning, Zhang Bin had gone up the mountain to gather Spiritual Energy, infusing it into several large bottles of mineral water.

He had just returned home when a red Ferrari shot toward him like an arrow, stopping with a SCREECH right at his doorstep.

The car doors opened, and out stepped a pair of bewitching and exquisitely beautiful women, exuding an intoxicating fragrance. It was none other than the sisters Liu Ruolan and Liu Ruomei.

Today, they were dressed in identical white chiffon blouses and matching black miniskirts, their black hair cascading down like waterfalls. They had the same height and the same smiles. At first glance, it was absolutely impossible to tell which was the elder sister and which was the younger.

All the villagers who saw them were dumbstruck, their gazes fixed on the sisters, unable to look away. Of course, they had seen twin sisters before, but never a pair as beautiful and alluring as this.

What man wouldn’t be the happiest in the world if he could marry them? It would be even better than being an emperor, wouldn’t it?

Although Zhang Bin knew the sisters well, he rarely saw them dressed identically. So, he stared intently, his face filled with admiration and affection.

Even Little Fox was stunned, perching motionless on Zhang Bin’s shoulder. A hint of hostility even flashed in her eyes, and she looked tense.

"What’s the matter, Xiao Bin, don’t you recognize us?" the two beauties spoke in unison, curious expressions on their faces.

"Why have you come?" Zhang Bin walked over, naturally reaching to wrap his arms around their waists.

The two beauties dodged in near-perfect unison, shooting him a stern glare.

"Come on in." Zhang Bin wasn’t the least bit embarrassed and quickly ushered the two beauties inside, showing them to a bench.

At that moment, Zhang Bin was finally able to tell which was Liu Ruolan and which was Liu Ruomei. Although the sisters were deliberately trying to confuse him, he could still tell them apart by their demeanor.

"Sister Mei, you don’t have to work today?" Zhang Bin asked Liu Ruomei in surprise.

"I’m off today," Liu Ruomei said.

"Sister Lan, you don’t have to work today?" Zhang Bin then turned his gaze to Liu Ruolan’s face.

"From today on, I’ll be living at your place," Liu Ruolan said. "Unless, you increase the production of Bright Eye Liquid."

"Welcome, welcome." Far from being dismayed, Zhang Bin’s face lit up with excitement. He wished it were already nightfall. He hadn’t had an opportunity like this since he’d kissed her at her house. He never expected the beauty to deliver herself right to his doorstep.

This tactic is useless against him. He’s completely shameless. Liu Ruolan anxiously shot Liu Ruomei a look.

Liu Ruomei then spoke coldly, "I’ll be staying at your house too, to protect my sister. So, you can forget about your filthy ideas."

"What? You’re going to live at my place too?" Zhang Bin was utterly shocked, his scalp tingling with dread.

He and Liu Ruomei had always been at odds, their relationship fraught with conflict. To this day, Liu Ruomei stubbornly believed Zhang Bin had wronged Bingbing, seeing him as a fickle and irresponsible playboy. As a result, she watched him like a hawk, never letting him have a moment alone with Liu Ruolan. This made Zhang Bin grit his teeth in frustration.

If both Liu Ruolan and Liu Ruomei were living in his house, any chance he had of taking even the slightest advantage of Liu Ruolan—like touching her hand—would completely vanish.

He said with a grimace, "Sister Lan, I reckon in about half a month, I can increase the production of Bright Eye Liquid by five times. Isn’t that enough?"

It was true; his fifteen Little Bright Eyes Trees hadn’t fruited yet, but they were close.

"Five times is absolutely not enough. It has to be fifty thousand times," Liu Ruolan said in a tone that left no room for argument.

"Fifty thousand times? How is that possible?" Zhang Bin’s eyes widened in disbelief. It was an outrageous demand.
