âAh!â
âSu Chen, Iâm scared!â
In a small village courtyard, a gentle and worried voice rang out.
âDonât be afraid! Trust me!â
Su Chen comforted Liu Meiyun.
Then, he quickly inserted a few silver needles into Liu Meiyunâs back.
In the next momentâ¦
âAhh⦠That feels so good.â
âSu Chen, thatâs amazing! Your acupuncture technique is really good.â
Liu Meiyun lay on her stomach and couldnât help but let out a relieved sigh.
Her pleasant moaning and her fair bare back made Su Chen a little flustered.
âSu Chen, I heard that youâre going to Bin Cheng to treat someone and marry a rich woman. Is that true?â Liu Meiyun suddenly asked, a bitter edge to her voice.
âIf you leave, who will perform acupuncture for me or give me a massage the next time I fall at work?â
Su Chen looked bitter. âLiu Meiyun, I donât want to leave either! That rich woman might be in her forties or fifties!â
âHowever, this is what my grandpa wishes. He told me to treat the rich womanâs father, then marry her. â
âHe also ordered me to stay with her for at least a year. He said that itâll benefit me a lot.â
Liu Meiyun had nothing to say when she heard that Su Chenâs grandfather had arranged this.
That old man was too powerful.
â¦
The next dayâ¦
At the entrance of the Zhou familyâs villa in Bin Chengâ¦
âWhat?â
âAre you my wife?â
Su Chen was shocked to see the beautiful Zhou Wanqiu.
She was wearing a short white shirt that hugged her curves nicely. Her black tight-fitting top and her long legs clad in nude stockings made her look very alluring.
This woman was ten times prettier than the widow in the village!
Was this his future wife?
Su Chen suddenly wanted to cry.
His old b*stard of a grandfather had finally done something right!
âHello, Iâm Su Chen. My grandfather asked me to treat your fatherâ¦â
Su Chen was introducing himself when Zhou Wanqiu interrupted him coldly.
âShut up!â
Zhou Wanqiu looked Su Chen up and down. He was wearing tattered cloth shoes and holding a snakeskin bag. Disdain filled her eyes.
âIâm not interested in whatever services you offer. My father already has an incredible doctor!â
âYou may leave!â
Su Chen was stunned.
What the h*ll?
They hadnât gotten married yet. Was the engagement now off?
At this momentâ¦
A panicked scream suddenly came from inside the villa.
Zhou Wanqiuâs expression changed, and she quickly turned around and ran into the villa.
Su Chen considered for a moment, then followed her.
His grandfather had asked him to cure the rich womanâs father, so he had to do that at least.
Su Chen walked into the villa.
A middle-aged man was lying in the middle of the hall. His face was ashen, and he was fuming.
Two anxious women surrounded him.
One was the young and beautiful Zhou Wanqiu.
The other was a middle-aged woman. She was crying.
An old man who looked like a doctor was trying to examine him.
Across from them was an old man in a Tang suit. He seemed very nervous.
They were so focused on the middle-aged man that they didnât even notice Su Chen coming in.
âDoctor Sun, youâre the best doctor in Bin Cheng. Please save my dad! â
Zhou Wanqiuâs eyes were red.
âDonât worry, Ms. Zhou!â Sun Zhongjing said quickly. âIâm right here. Your father will be fine.â
As he spoke,Sun Zhongjing picked up a silver needle and inserted it into the Shenfeng acupoint on the middle-aged manâs chest.
His actions were precise and steady!
Su Chen nodded.
This Doctor Sun seemed to know what he was doing.
The second needle was inserted well too.
The third needleâ¦
Su Chen frowned!
This needle didnât seem to be in the best position. Moreover, the depth and angle werenât right.
Sun Zhongjing picked up two more silver needles and was about to insert them.
âWait a minute!âSu Chen suddenly said.
His grandfather had asked him to treat this man. He felt responsible for his well-being.
âThe third needle was already inserted poorly. If these two needles are inserted next, the patient might start convulsing or even go into shock!âSu Chen continued.
Everyone turned around, stunned.
Only then did they notice that someone else was in the villa with them.
âDidnât I tell you to leave? Why are you here?â
Zhou Wanqiu stood up and her expression was sour.
The old man in the Tang suit frowned. âWanqiu, what happened?â
Zhou Wanqiu suppressed her anger and introduced Su Chen.
The old man in the Tang suit was delighted. âYouâre Su Chen? Iâm Zhou Rongchang, your grandfatherâs good friend!â
âThank God you arrived in time! You can save my son, Pingjiang!â
Zhou Rongchang was pleasantly surprised.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, someone snorted.
âHmph!â
âSince Old Master Zhou has found the Miracle Doctor, Iâll just leave now!â Doctor Sunâs expression was sour now.
Sun Zhongjing turned to leave.
Zhou Rongchangâs expression froze. He realized that he had misspoken.
He quickly apologized. âDoctor Sun, please forgive me. I was too rash!â
Zhou Wanqiu was even more anxious. âDoctor Sun, donât be angry! This kid is a country bumpkin! He doesnât know anything about medicine. He just wants to be in the limelight.â
As she spoke, Zhou Wanqiu glared at Su Chen. âDoctor Sun is treating my father. Shut up!â
Sun Zhongjingâs expression eased some.
He sneered at Su Chen and was about to continue Zhou Pingjiangâs acupuncture treatment.
However, Su Chen spoke up again.
âIf you insist on inserting the needles there, the patient might die!â
Sun Zhongjingâs expression darkened.
His hands froze in midair.
Zhou Wanqiu was furious. She stared at Su Chen and said angrily, âI told you to shut up. Didnât you hear me?â
âIf you keep disturbing Doctor Sun while heâs treating my father, you can get out!â
At this momentâ¦
Zhou Rongchang frowned. âDoctor Sun, why donât we listen to what Su Chen has to say?â
Sun Zhongjing was stunned.
He didnât expect Zhou Rongchang to trust the country bumpkin before him.
âGrandpa!â
âWhy donât you trust Doctor Sun? Why are you putting your trust in this country bumpkin?â Zhou Wanqiuasked.
âWanqiu, donât say that about Su Chen.â Zhou Rongchangâs expression darkened.
Zhou Wanqiu was stunned.
She could not understand why her grandfather was treating this country bumpkin so well.
Su Chen was also puzzled.
Sun Zhongjingâs expression was truly sour now. âOld Master Zhou, do you not trust my judgment?â
âDoctor Sun, Iâm sorry.â Zhou Rongchang hesitated. âMy sonâs life hangs in the balance, so we should be extra careful.â
âHmph!â
Sun Zhongjing was furious. âIf Zhou Pingjiang loses his life because of me, Iâll pay! A life for a life!â
Sun Zhongjing turned to Su Chen, âKid, watch carefully! Donât keep seeking attention.â
Puff!
Puff!
He inserted two more silver needles into Zhou Pingjiangâs body!
For a moment, everyone stared atZhou Pingjiang.
âHmm?â
They heard a light snort.
Zhou Pingjiang slowly rose.
His complexion seemed to have improved a lot.
Zhou Wanqiu and her mother, Zhao Guirong, were overjoyed.
Sun Zhongjing looked at Zhou Rongchang proudly.
âOld Master Zhou, are you satisfied with my medical skills?â
As he spoke, he glanced at Su Chen.
Zhou Rongchang looked embarrassed. He didnât know what to say.
âGrandpa, youâre wrong,â Zhou Wanqiu said coldly. âThis country bumpkin is a liar who likes to talk big.â
As she spoke, Zhou Wanqiu walked toward Su Chen.
âNow, you have nothing to say, right? Hurry up and go back to the countryside!â
As soon as she finished speakingâ¦
âAh!âZhou Pingjiang screamed.
Then, his entire body began to twitch.
