~8 min read 1,413 words

"Have you been wearing this thing all the time?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, my mother prayed for it for me, saying that the 'Wealthy Carving' can ensure I am wealthy for my whole life and marry into a prestigious family. I heard it was obtained from a high monk of a certain esoteric sect in the Western Region," Si Chen nodded.

"There is a force inside it. I can't figure out what it is, but..." Chen Yu paused here and said, "You should still be careful."

"Chen Yu, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't be so hesitant," Lu Ruxue said, confused.

Just as Chen Yu was about to say something, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman dressed in bright, flashy clothes, looking like a wealthy lady, walked in.

As soon as she entered, she chattered incessantly: "Si Chen, it's so late, we have to go back. Stay in Fengling for a few less days; you need to return to Shengjing. A small place like Fengling has no one worthy of your status."

The woman was none other than Si Chen's mother, Wang Ling, and she wore an arrogant expression.

"Mom, we agreed that you would let me stay in Fengling to keep Lu Ruxue company for a few days." Si Chen's brows furrowed. She did not want to return to Jing, because once she went back, there would be endless banquets to attend.

"No. Your father called and said there are several important parties. Several heirs from prestigious families in Shengjing, and even second-generation red elites, will be attending. If you go and show your face more, there will be opportunities," Wang Ling's face sank.

"Let me rest for a few days, okay?" Si Chen looked pained.

"Rest? What rest? I have raised you for twenty-two years for the sake of letting you marry into a prestigious family. Si Chen, it is not that Mom is forcing you; once you marry into a prestigious family, you will understand Mom's painstaking efforts, and you will also find that your previous sacrifices were all worth it," Wang Ling said.

"Auntie, Si Chen just arrived here. Please let her stay with me for a few days, just consider it a rest," Lu Ruxue said.

"Miss Lu, although you and my Si Chen are good friends, the paths you take are different," Wang Ling snorted, looking at Lu Ruxue with disdain.

"You are a star; to put it bluntly, you are an actress. Our Si Chen is different; she is someone who is going to marry into a prestigious family and become a wealthy lady. You should keep a proper distance in the future."

Lu Ruxue's face changed; the few sentences Wang Ling said were truly a bit hurtful.

"Mom, what are you saying? I only have one friend, and that is Ruxue," Si Chen said angrily.

"What friend? You don't need friends. Si Chen, our Yu Family was originally a prestigious family in Shengjing, but our family fortunes have declined. Whether the Yu Family can rise again in the future depends entirely on you," Wang Ling said earnestly, "Be obedient and come back with me."

"Auntie, Miss Si Chen is under too much pressure, which is harming her internal organs. You should really let her rest," Chen Yu could not stand it anymore.

"Who are you? Why is there a man here? What are your intentions toward my daughter? I am telling you, don't hold any fantasies; my daughter is destined only to marry into a prestigious family," Wang Ling only just noticed Chen Yu, and she could not help but be startled.

"I am a doctor and a friend of Ruxue. Miss Si Chen is not feeling well, so I am helping her with a medical examination," Chen Yu said.

"If you are not feeling well, go to a large hospital! I will contact a Shengjing expert for you immediately. My little ancestor, what will you do if something goes wrong with your body?" Wang Ling slapped her thigh, completely shocked.

"Auntie, you have to trust my medical skills," Chen Yu said helplessly.

"Medical skills? I don't believe you Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners can cure illnesses. Even if you could, I only trust Luo Huichun. In this world, only he understands Traditional Chinese Medicine; after all, even the Chief looks for him for medical treatment."

Wang Ling looked at Chen Yu as she spoke and said angrily, "At your age, you dare to call yourself a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner?"

"Aunt Wang, Chen Yu is my friend. His medical skills are very impressive. I am Si Chen's good friend; would I harm her?" Lu Ruxue said angrily.

"Good friend?" Wang Ling rolled her eyes, "Guard against fire, theft, and your best friend. Let's go, Si Chen."

"Wait," Chen Yu called out to her.

"What else do you want? I am telling you to stay away from my daughter. I know exactly what you stinking men are thinking," Wang Ling said angrily.

"You said you only trust Luo Huichun for Traditional Chinese Medicine?" Chen Yu asked.

"That's right, the guardian of Medicine God Mountain. I saw with my own eyes at an important occasion that he saved a dying person with a few needles. I trust him. What, don't tell me you can get him to come," Wang Ling sneered.

"I really can get him to come," Chen Yu smiled, "Why don't you wait a moment? He should be able to arrive in half an hour."

"You say you can get Luo Huichun to come?" Wang Ling looked at Chen Yu's expression as if she were looking at a fool.

"Yes, one phone call from me and he will come over immediately," Chen Yu nodded.

"Si Chen, you see that? What kind of people does your good friend know? People who talk big and spout nonsense," Wang Ling turned her head to look at her daughter.

"Do you think I am bragging?" Chen Yu asked.

"What, aren't you bragging? Do you know who Luo Huichun is? He is the number one Divine Doctor in the world. Except for a few veterans from the war, he doesn't give anyone face."

"Don't talk about you; even the prestigious families, leaders, and regional governors of Shengjing have to look at his mood if they want to invite him. What kind of thing are you? You say he will come, and he will come?" Wang Ling sneered.

"Then give me some time. I will have him come over immediately now," Chen Yu said, "Since you have met him, you must recognize him, right?"

"That goes without saying. Can you really invite him?" Wang Ling did not believe Chen Yu's nonsense at all.

"Of course I can," Chen Yu nodded seriously, and he smiled, "Anyway, it's only half an hour; you might as well wait."

"I don't want to waste time on someone like you," Wang Ling said disdainfully.

"First of all, I am the Vice President of Tianyun Pharmaceutical, holding fifty percent of the shares. In addition, I have a company under my name, and I have invested in real estate companies. The big and small industries combined add up to tens of billions."

"I certainly cannot compare to the prestigious families you mentioned, but with my status, every minute is money. I don't even mind this half hour; do you?" Chen Yu said.

"Brag, keep bragging," Wang Ling sneered.

"This is true, Auntie. I signed an endorsement for several of Tianyun Pharmaceutical's medicines, so I can guarantee that what he said is true. Should I get the Contract for you to see?" Lu Ruxue said, speechless.

Wang Ling was stunned. Lu Ruxue naturally would not joke about this matter. Her attitude toward Chen Yu changed immediately, and she said with a smile, "Young man, I couldn't tell, you actually have so much wealth at such a young age."

"So are you willing to wait?" Chen Yu asked.

"Then I will wait. If you can really invite the Divine Doctor Luo and prove that my daughter is under too much pressure, then I will let her stay here for a few days." Wang Ling believed in Chen Yu's wealth, but she still did not believe that Chen Yu could really invite Luo Huichun.

"Fine, please wait a moment," Chen Yu smiled slightly and picked up his phone, "Datian, arrange a car to bring Luo Huichun to me. Be quick, I will send you the address."
