Chapter 167

Huo An, upon hearing, smiled and walked to the side chamber.

"Miss Yuan, my sister told you to come over."

Yuan Shu, hearing this, asked somewhat surprisedly.

"So soon?"

"The distinguished guest she is receiving said that a friend also surnamed Yuan; as long as you know him, our cooperation will be easy to discuss."

Saying this, he placed both hands on Yuan Shu's shoulders, making her body stiffen.

Yuan Shu hesitated a moment, then did not continue struggling.

Then the three walked together to the reception hall.

"Sister, this is Yuan Shu, a strong woman like you."

He supported Yuan Shu's shoulders, looked at Lin Yang, smiling as he asked.

"Mr. Lin, do you know Miss Yuan?"

Yuan Shu stood rooted, as if struck by lightning, incredulously gazing at Lin Yang.

This is the distinguished guest of the Huo family's eldest miss?!

Yuan Ximing, seeing Lin Yang opposite Huo Shui Xian, also sucked in a breath of cold air.

"How is that possible?!"

Seeing Yuan Ximing's appearance, Huo An laughed.

"Looks like you really know each other."

Huo Shui Xian looked at Lin Yang and asked.

"Mr. Lin, do you know each other?"

Lin Yang glanced at Yuan Shu, then spoke softly.

"Just ordinary friends."

Huo Shui Xian nodded, then said to her younger brother.

"Take Miss Yuan and her group to get some breakfast."

As Yuan Shu left the suite, she was completely dazed.

He could not understand why Lin Yang would appear here.

Moreover, how did Lin Yang become a distinguished guest of the Huo family?

She thought that by cooperating with the Huo family, she could escape Lin Yang's shadow.

But, having just connected with the Huo family, she discovered Lin Yang already stood on equal footing with them.

Clearly she had convinced herself she would not regret it.

Yet, when she saw Lin Yang sitting calmly before Huo Shui Xian, her heart stirred again.

"Could it be that I was really wrong back then?"

Yuan Shu's heart filled with doubt, even feeling an urge to cry.

Huo An saw Yuan Shu's poor complexion and inquired.

"Miss Yuan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Yuan Shu shook her head, lightly biting her teeth, and said to Huo An.

"I feel a bit dizzy; I want to go back and rest."

"Then I'll take you back."

"Thank you for the trouble."

On the way back, Yuan Shu kept thinking about everything between her and Lin Yang.

She clearly could have easily obtained wealth and status, yet she herself had abandoned him.

After she returned home, Yuan Benchu looked at Yuan Shu sitting on the sofa and asked.

"Yuan Shu, have you settled the cooperation matter?"

"Or, have you won over Huo An, the young master?"

Yuan Shu remained silent for a moment, then tears began to flow.

At that moment, the old Mr. Yuan approached and inquired.

"Child, what happened? Did Huo An bully you? Go ahead and speak."

"Even if Grandfather sacrifices his old life, I will seek justice for you!"

Yuan Shu looked at her grandfather and suddenly burst into tears.

"Grandfather, I saw Lin Yang today!"

The Yuan family elder froze, then sighed.

"Where did you see him?"

"I saw him at the Thus: Tianjin Jiudian; he has become a distinguished guest of the Huo family!"

"He can sit opposite Huo Shui Xian as an equal, making her respectfully call him Mr. Lin!"

"Grandfather, I regret it; I should have listened to you back then."

Seeing his granddaughter wailing loudly, the elder could only sigh.

Originally, he had wanted desperately to mend the relationship between Yuan Shu and Lin Yang, but they, father and daughter, looked down on Lin Yang.

The elder sighed, then said to Yuan Shu.

"Girl, you two are fated to meet but not to stay together."

These words made Yuan Shu cry even louder.

Yuan Benchu, standing nearby, upon hearing this, was calculating something.

In the Thus: Tianjin Jiudian, Lin Yang looked at Huo Shui Xian and said.

Miss Huo, just say what you have.

Huo Shui Xian, upon hearing this, gritted her teeth and said.

My grandfather is ill and needs the Longevity Pill to be saved; therefore, I need the medicine that Mr. Lin obtained in the cave.

Lin Yang looked at her, flipped his wrist, and took out a small wooden box.

Opening the wooden box, a pill appeared inside.

This is the pill I obtained inside.

Looking at that round, translucent pill, Huo Shui Xian inquired.

How much money does it take for Mr. Lin to be willing to sell?

Lin Yang shook his head and said to Huo Shui Xian.

If it's only about money, I'll sell it to you for three hundred million; I imagine you won't haggle.

Huo Shui Xian nodded.

Three hundred million may be a lot for others, but to the Huo Family it's just a drop in the bucket.

But I cannot sell it to you.

Why?

Huo Shui Xian looked at Lin Yang with a puzzled expression.

Because this is not some elixir of immortality; it's a Corpse-Fusing Pill.

It's a backup left by those who wish to become ghost immortals for themselves.

Ordinary people who take it will die instantly.

Hearing Lin Yang's words, Huo Shui Xian felt a wave of disappointment.

It turned out she had been busy for nothing all day.

Then, thinking of her grandfather's condition, a sense of despair rose within her.

However, I can save your grandfather.

Huh?

Huo Shui Xian looked at Lin Yang, puzzled.

Lin Yang smiled and said to Huo Shui Xian.

I am still a doctor.

Hearing that Lin Yang was a doctor, Huo Shui Xian felt no excitement at all.

In Xianggang, there are many doctors, yet none could cure my grandfather.

Lin Yang is so young; could his medical skills possibly be better than theirs?

She sighed and said to Lin Yang.

It's useless; we've consulted world-renowned doctors, yet they still couldn't cure my grandfather.

Lin Yang smiled, stood up, and placed the Corpse-Fusing Pill on the table.

Just because they can't cure it doesn't mean I can't.

You can choose not to believe me, and take this medicine back for your grandfather to take.

Watching Lin Yang turn and leave, she then looked at the Corpse-Fusing Pill on the table.

She thought quickly for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said.

Wait a moment!

She picked up the Corpse-Fusing Pill and handed it to Lin Yang.

I believe you!

However, I need to discuss with my family the matter of letting you treat my grandfather's illness.

Lin Yang shook his head and said to her.

It's not that I will go treat your grandfather; it's that your grandfather must come to the southwest for me to treat him.

Upon hearing this, Huo Shui Xian immediately said.

Impossible!

My grandfather's body is weak; he cannot withstand the jostling!

Lin Yang glanced at Huo Shui Xian and said: 'That's your business.'

Huo Shui Xian gritted her teeth and asked: 'How confident are you in curing my grandfather?'

This made Lin Yang chuckle; he hadn't even seen a patient yet, and yet he was asking himself how confident he was.

You should let me see the patient first before asking.

Once you've decided, come to my clinic to find me.

I imagine, with the Huo Family's abilities, you don't need me to tell you where my clinic is.

Lin Yang left the hotel and went straight to the clinic.

Upon arriving at the clinic, Du Juan happily said.

Master Lin, you've finally come!

Lin Yang smiled and said: 'Because today, a major patient has arrived.'

Lin Yang originally intended to wait for Huo Shui Xian to come to the door.

Unexpectedly, he didn't wait for Huo Shui Xian to arrive; instead, he waited for Yuan Benchu.

Yuan Benchu, carrying several bags of fruit, walked toward the clinic.
