Chapter 416: You Cannot Give Her Happiness

~8 min read 1,589 words

"Auntie, your financial resources seem quite substantial," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "But Uncle Bai is just a scientist; although he has many achievements, he probably cannot give you the life you want."

"You are so wealthy, yet you leave a perfectly good life behind and come running here to be with Uncle Bai. Don't tell me this is for love, or that you were conquered by Uncle Bai's talent?"

"Chen Yu, stop confusing the issue. This is different; the situation between Old Bai and me is special." Yu Jing's expression changed; Chen Yu's words were truly not polite at all.

"There is nothing different about it, and I am not the poor doctor you describe." Chen Yu smiled slightly. "You can keep the check; I still have that much money."

"Do you know how much money is in a filled-out check?" Yu Jing's expression was unsightly.

"Of course I know, but do you know how much assets I have under my name?" Chen Yu countered.

"Aren't you just a doctor at Xinglinju?" Yu Jing looked somewhat surprised.

"Auntie, I suggest you go and learn more about Tianyun Pharmaceutical and Qingyan Health." Chen Yu smiled slightly. He pushed the check back, then stood up and said, "I appreciate your kindness, Auntie, but I really don't need it. Thank you."

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he turned and left. Yu Jing watched Chen Yu's departing figure, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"Chen Yu, I've finished the favor for you. The promotional video for your Qingyan Health turned out well. How do you plan to thank me?" Just as Chen Yu left, Lu Ruxue's call came through.

"Finished filming? It's only been a few days, how is it so fast?" Chen Yu was genuinely taken aback; he never expected it to be finished so quickly.

"That's a small matter, you should still trust my capabilities." Lu Ruxue laughed. "Alright, there's a banquet in Fengling today. Si Chen's mother ordered her to attend. Do you have time?"

"Her mother can know about things in Fengling from so far away?" Chen Yu was speechless. "I'm not part of that circle, and no one invited me. It wouldn't be appropriate to go."

"Your current status is completely sufficient. It's a very large occasion, and people from several major families will be there. Actually, you should move around in such circles more; there are plenty of connections and opportunities inside." Lu Ruxue encouraged him.

"Alright, I'll make a call to find out the situation first." Chen Yu nodded.

He asked Lin Qingyue and received a reply very quickly. Lin Qingyue directly sent someone to deliver an admission invitation to Chen Yu.

At 8:00 PM, Chen Yu arrived at the top floor of the Yaxing Hotel in formal attire.

The commotion for today's banquet was indeed large. Led by several major families of Fengling, plus various financial bigwigs, those who could enter this occasion were basically the top-tier people of Fengling society.

In fact, this kind of banquet represents the top-tier social circle; many businesses of large families are basically concluded in such settings.

Lu Ruxue had many social engagements, and she happened to meet several bigwigs interested in investing in her new film here, so she went to discuss business.

Although Yu Sichen was familiar with such occasions, this was Fengling after all, and there were no acquaintances inside, so she stayed with Chen Yu.

"How has your sleep been lately? Is it any better than before?" Chen Yu asked.

"Much better. I can basically fall asleep normally now, and my mood is also much better than before." Yu Sichen smiled slightly. "Thank you for the medicine, and thank you for taking me along, letting me see this world anew."

"That's good, but remember to keep your mood relaxed in the future, otherwise you will fall back into anxiety." Chen Yu nodded.

"I feel like I'm going back to Jing soon. My mother's 'spot checks' have been significantly more frequent these past few days; she seems to suspect something." Yu Sichen sighed.

"You must believe that you are only temporarily trapped in a cage. Sooner or later, you will fly toward the sky; the vast sea and sky are yours to roam." Chen Yu comforted her.

"Thank you, I toast you with this glass." Yu Sichen smiled sweetly, raised her glass, and clinked it with Chen Yu's.

"Hello, Mr. Chen." A voice came from behind. A man was standing behind them, and he bowed slightly with great courtesy. "Mr. Chen, let me introduce myself. My name is Wu Zhangbo, from Shengjing. I came here at the invitation of a friend."

"Is something the matter?" Chen Yu asked.

"Would it be convenient to talk alone?" Wu Zhangbo hesitated for a moment.

"Hmm, Si Chen, stay here for a moment. I'll be right back." Chen Yu said.

"Go ahead and get busy, I'm fine. I can handle this kind of occasion." Yu Sichen smiled slightly.

"Thank you." Wu Zhangbo bowed slightly to Yu Sichen in gratitude, then went to the other side with Chen Yu.

"Mr. Chen, I heard that your medical skills are unparalleled, and you also have deep research into Feng Shui and Metaphysics." Wu Zhangbo said. "I would like to..."

"If you have something to say, just say it directly." Chen Yu interrupted him. "If I can help, I will certainly give you a hand."

"Yes." Wu Zhangbo hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said, "I came to seek medical treatment for my wife. She was in a car accident four years ago and is now a vegetable. We've seen many places, but it was useless. The doctors said the possibility of her waking up is not high."

"I heard from a friend that Mr. Chen's medical skills are unparalleled, so I brought her to Fengling to try my luck. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Chen here. I wonder if Mr. Chen could help me. I, Wu Zhangbo, would be eternally grateful."

When mentioning his wife's condition, tears were swirling in Wu Zhangbo's eyes. He could come to this occasion, so his status was naturally not ordinary.

But to be so moved when mentioning his wife, it seemed their marital affection was extremely deep.

"It seems your affection is very good, but I cannot guarantee that I can definitely cure her. After all, I am not an Immortal. I must see her in person before I can say." Chen Yu pondered.

"She is currently in a room at the hotel. When does Mr. Chen have time?" Wu Zhangbo was overjoyed; Chen Yu saying this meant he had agreed.

"Now is fine. Let's go, take me there." Chen Yu nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. Please, this way." Wu Zhangbo hurriedly led the way in front.

In a hotel suite, Chen Yu met Wu Zhangbo's wife, Meng Huiyu.

She was in her thirties. Because she had been bedridden for years, her body muscles had atrophied somewhat. Her hair was slightly yellow, which was caused by long-term malnutrition.

There was a dedicated doctor attending to her on the side, and there was a mobile medical system in the room. It seemed that no matter where Wu Zhangbo went, he had to bring her along, and he even brought a dedicated medical team.

"Mr. Wu, the Madam's condition is very good, and her vital signs are stable." A doctor saw Wu Zhangbo walk over and stood up to say.

"Good." Wu Zhangbo nodded, then said respectfully, "Mr. Chen, I'll have to trouble you."

Chen Yu stepped forward and checked Meng Huiyu's condition. After just one look, his expression changed drastically.

"Mr. Chen, is there a problem?" Wu Zhangbo had been watching Chen Yu's expression. Seeing Chen Yu's face change, he immediately became nervous.

"You stay, everyone else get out." Chen Yu furrowed his brows.

"You all go out." Wu Zhangbo had everyone leave, then asked nervously, "Mr. Chen, how is she exactly? Can she still wake up?"

"Don't be anxious yet, let me confirm again." Chen Yu took a deep breath, then folded his hands together. Several hand gestures changed in rapid succession, then he pointed forward with both hands and suddenly opened his eyes.

In his eyes, a black-and-white world appeared; this world had no color, only black and white.

There was no vitality in Meng Huiyu's body. Looking at her state, she should have been dead for at least several years.

But for her to still maintain breathing after death, and to still maintain these vital signs, this was a situation Chen Yu had never seen before.

There was a problem in her body. Chen Yu stared at the Red Heavenly Bead the size of a jujube on her wrist; the problem might lie there. He took a deep breath and sent out his Divine Sense, wanting to probe what exactly was strange inside Meng Huiyu's body.

But the moment his Divine Sense touched her body, a sudden, intense mental fluctuation erupted from her.

"Who dares to disturb this Palace's slumber?"

A sharp shout boomed in Chen Yu's consciousness. Chen Yu's scalp tingled; this was a Dharma Cultivator of an extremely high realm.

Immediately following this, a streak of white Qi rose up, and a transparent shadow suddenly sat up from Meng Huiyu's body; this was not Meng Huiyu's soul, but a Spirit Body with an Appearance completely different from hers.

Her icy gaze carried a surge of Divine Sense that struck toward Chen Yu, and Chen Yu's vision went black as he entered a black-and-white world.
