36 Partnership (1)

The young man stopped his work and looked at her with caution.

" Su Ming, I came to know about you through Li Chang. He told me that you have the highest quality and exquisite fur coats. He told me everything he knew about you. I know that the crown prince is responsible for your present miserable condition."

" I also know that crown prince toyed with your sister and defiled her. I can see that she is still suffering from that nightmare as she is afraid of strangers."

" What do you want?" Su Ming asked coldly at the mention of his sister. But He Mei Ya clearly saw panic in his eyes.

" I can cure your sister."

Su Ming's expression cracked and his cold front immediately disappeared " Lady, can you really cure my sister?"

" All the doctors told me that she will suffer from that experience for a lifetime and that her uterus is totally damaged " An expression of hope and desperation can be clearly seen on his face.

" Of course.. I can cure your sister completely. Those who said that she can't be cured are not capable." He Mei Ya spoke confidently.

" I won't ask you to trust me blindly. In one month I will convince everyone of my medical abilities. Then you will come to me willingly and with trust. What do you say?"

Su Ming nodded but he is not a fool to believe that the other party is going to help him simply.. He knew that there is no free rice.. But, if the young woman in front of him really cured his sister.. he is ready to pledge his life to her.

" Lady, if you can cure my sister completely then, I, Su Ming will pledge my life to you and promise to follow you in life or death." Su Ming kneeled and vowed to He Mei Ya solemnly.

He Mei Ya's lips curled on seeing the sincerity in his eyes. So, he is willing to exchange his life for his sister. In this era, chastity is considered very important for a woman. They believed that a defiled woman is better dead than alive. Even in such situation, this man did not abandon her and treated her as his life.

' This man is really interesting' she thought. Towards such an honest man, He Mei Ya decided to open up a little.

" Su Ming, do not worry. I will not ask you for anything that may cost your life or that brings shame to you. "

He Mei Ya smiled deeply.. " Alright, let's discuss about those things after I cured your sister. Right now, I have a business proposition for you."

" What proposition my lady?"

" I want to start business in clothing. I am truly impressed by your work. After seeing your work, I decided to open a winter clothing store and the main designer will be you. I will provide the man power to help you in stitching since I'm expecting mass production. The maintenance and other things will be taken care of by me."

Su Ming widened his eyes as He Mei Ya continued " Leave the pricing to me. You are not good in that area. I'll make sure that your work will be recognised. What do you think?"

Su Ming was excited beyond words. He had been rejected by almost all the shop owners. But, he did not blame them as they are under the influence of crown prince. But, now this young girl before him is giving him a fair opportunity. If he can prove his worth he can provide a good life for his sister even if she can't be cured. How could he not be happy?

" Lady, I do not know how to thank you." Su Ming kowtowed to her regardless of what she thought.

This time He Mei Ya did not get angry. Though she felt that she did not help much.. she also understood what it meant for them on observing their house and clothes.

" Take this money and buy some good clothes for both of you. Do not stay in this house. I will ask Li Chang to find a better place for you both." He Mei Ya handed him a 100 gold coins. " Use this money to buy everything you need."
