Chapter 2: Arriving at the Murong Family

"Ah, you all stop talking!"

Wu Jun made a deferential gesture, yet his face leaned toward Li Lishu.

Li Lishu neither dodged nor flinched, even leaning forward, her toes lightly touching.

The two drew ever closer, and just as they were about to make contact, Li Lishu's peripheral glance caught Jiangnan watching from the crowd, a flash of panic in her eyes, and she shoved Wu Jun away.

"Jiang… Jiangnan, why are you here?"

After the panic, Li Lishu regained her composure, walked up to Jiangnan, and with an angry face demanded, "Jiangnan, are you stalking me? Why are you so disgusting?"

"Jiangnan brother, don't blame sister; it's my fault, I couldn't resist because sister looks so beautiful…"

Wu Jun, looking aggrieved, walked up to Jiangnan.

"Xiao Jun, what are you explaining to him? Jiangnan, you actually stalked me; if you don't set the matter straight with me, this isn't over between us!"

Li Lishu grabbed Wu Jun behind her and said firmly.

"Hehe! I have no intention of stalking you; it was just a chance encounter! You two are indeed well matched! By the way, I left the Divorce Agreement on the table; remember to sign it after you get back!"

Jiangnan's heart was completely dead; he never expected the woman he loved for five years to be like this!

Jiangnan turned and left directly; Li Lishu felt a sudden panic, about to step forward to chase, but Wu Jun behind her held her back.

"Sister, brother is definitely angry; you should quickly catch up and explain to him! This is all my fault; you and brother must not divorce because of me!"

Wu Jun said with a look of grievance.

"Xiao Jun, this isn't your fault; he's just looking for trouble!"

Li Lishu stopped in her tracks, her voice hard, "Divorce still? Does he dare? Without me, who is he? He's just trying to cause trouble, so he deserves a little punishment! To keep him from causing mischief every day!"

"Huh, is that car Miss Murong's? Does Jiangnan know Miss Murong?"

A sudden gasp rose from the crowd, full of disbelief.

Naturally, they also knew Jiangnan, the man rumored to be a "soft‑rice boy," and since Wu Jun and Li Lishu often called him useless in front of them, they didn't have any good feelings toward him.

Seeing Jiangnan get into Murong Wan's car now, they were utterly astonished; Miss Murong is truly a major figure in Jinghai!

Everyone hurriedly looked, including Li Lishu and Wu Jun, but the car had already driven away.

"Tch, how could he know Miss Murong? You must have misread; don't you know how insignificant he is?"

Li Lishu said disdainfully, as always belittling Jiangnan.

The others thought the same, fully agreeing.

"Xiao Jun, let me take you home; go to bed early tonight, tomorrow we still have to sign the renewal agreement with Nan Shen Group, don't be late!"

Li Lishu said.

People around instantly gasped, their eyes filled with envy toward the two.

Nan Shen Group, a truly world‑class top enterprise, countless people including Jinghai's top families want to cooperate with it, but have no connections!

Li Lishu's growth over the years is not unrelated to Nan Shen Group's assistance!

Li Lishu's face was calm, but inside she was full of pride; she believed Nan Shen Group helped her solely because of her own strength!

On the other side, Murong Wan drove to the Murong Family; although she was curious about what happened to Jiangnan on the road, she didn't ask indiscreetly.

Murong Wan led Jiangnan into the villa; outside a room filled with the scent of Chinese herbs and coughing, the Murong Family gathered there.

"Wan'er, who is he? Didn't I tell you to fetch the Jiang Divine Doctor?"

A middle‑aged man with a square face walked over, launching a barrage of questions.

He was Murong Wan's father, the Family Head of the Murong Family, one of the few major figures in Jinghai, Murong Hong!

"Dad, he's the Jiang Divine Doctor Mo Lao mentioned!"

Murong Wan's face showed a hint of embarrassment as she began to explain.

"Xiao Wan, you've been deceived! Look at how young he is—does he have the look of a Divine Doctor? He might be some kind of swindler!"

At that moment, a disdainful voice came from outside the door, belonging to a young man in a suit, with a white‑haired elder behind him.

"Chen Shao, don't call me Xiao Wan; we're not that familiar!"

Murong Wan's eyes flashed with disgust as she spoke.

The youth was named Chen Bo, a scion of the first‑rate Jinghai family Chen Family, a prodigal playboy who bullies men and women, commits every kind of evil, and has been pursuing her for two years, which she greatly detests.

"Xiao Wan, why are you talking to Chen Shao?"

"Chen Shao, this must be the famed Wu Chengping, the Divine Doctor!"

Murong Hong scolded sharply and hurried to greet him.

"Uncle Murong, don't scold Xiao Wan; it's nothing!"

Chen Bo's eyes flickered with a sly gleam, a smile spreading across his face as he said, "This is Wu Chengping, the Divine Doctor! With him, Grandfather Murong will surely cure any illness!"

Chen Bo's words were full of arrogance; Wu Chengping, the Divine Doctor, not only has a stellar reputation in Jinghai but is renowned nationwide, rarely takes commissions, even the Murong Family cannot summon him!

If the Chen Family hadn't once done him a favor, they couldn't have invited him!

Chen Bo stared at Murong Wan, but she remained cold and simply thanked him.

"You filthy bitch! What are you pretending for?"

"After I cure your grandfather, I'll get you into bed and watch how the young master toys with you!"

Chen Bo was seething with hatred, yet kept a smile and hurriedly said, "Divine Doctor, it's now up to you!"

Wu Chengping nodded lightly, stepped into the room, and as he passed Jiangnan, sneered, "Kid, don't pretend to be a half‑baked Divine Doctor! If you want to be a Divine Doctor, train a few more years!"

He also harbored the pride of a Divine Doctor, and hearing Murong Wan call this youngster a Divine Doctor irritated him!

The others had no time to entertain Jiangnan, and followed Wu Chengping into the room.

Murong Wan gave Jiangnan a remorseful look; after all, she had brought him here, only to leave him hanging.

Jiangnan's expression barely changed; given his status, he rarely intervenes, and if the Murong Family hadn't found Mo Lao, he wouldn't have come!

Back then, when he first entered Shen Wang Hall, Mo Lao gave him tremendous help—a great debt of gratitude!

Out of respect for Mo Lao, he won't hold it against the Murong Family; if this divine martial physician can cure him, then he won't need to intervene.

Jiangnan also followed the crowd into the room.

On the bed lay an emaciated old man, his breath weak, his complexion pallid, like a candle flickering in the wind; from time to time he coughed, spitting out blood.

After feeling the pulse and observing, Wu Chengping's eyes cleared; he took out the Silver Needle and administered acupuncture on Old Master Murong.

With each needle inserted, Old Master Murong's complexion turned rosy, his breathing smoothed, and he grew increasingly normal.

Just as the seventh needle was about to be applied, Jiangnan, standing nearby, frowned and said, "If this needle goes in, Old Master Murong will likely lose his life!"
