Chapter 397 Qimen Penetrating Celestial Needle_1
"Let me introduce. This gentleman is Mr. Su Cheng. Mr. Su’s medical skills are extraordinary, specially invited by my uncle to treat my grandfather." Lu Yunxi introduced him, and then introduced the others.
"This is Zhou Tingsen, Young Master Zhou from the Zhou family, a prominent family from Jianghuai. The Zhou family and our Lu family have business dealings and can be considered old acquaintances. This is Doctor Jiang, invited by Young Master Zhou to treat my grandfather."
After Lu Yunxi’s introduction, Su Chengyu gave Zhou Tingsen and Jiang Qi a slight nod as a greeting, but Zhou Tingsen merely glanced at him disdainfully, clearly not taking Su Chengyu seriously.
"Grandpa Lu’s illness is a longstanding chronic disease, difficult to treat. What advanced medical skills could such a youngster have? I think it’s a waste of time. With Doctor Jiang here, do we need any other mediocre doctor?" Zhou Tingsen said bluntly.
Zhou Tingsen has always been fond of Lu Yunxi, and the Zhou family hopes to establish a marriage alliance with the Lu family, enhancing the Zhou family’s influence in Jianghuai through the Lu family’s power. However, Lu Yunxi is unwilling to marry Zhou Tingsen. Therefore, Zhou Tingsen plans to win over Old Master Lu by inviting Jiang Qi to treat his illness.
If he can cure Old Master Lu’s chronic disease, he may be able to convince the old man to confer the marriage. At that time, even if Lu Yunxi is unwilling, she will have to acquiesce. In these prominent families, marriage is often beyond one’s control.
When Zhou Tingsen arrived, he saw Lu Yunxi and Su Chengyu chatting and laughing, and Lu Yunxi even poured tea for Su Chengyu herself, which made him feel uncomfortable.
The Lu family also knew that Su Chengyu did not possess particularly outstanding medical skills, but he had a miraculous Spirit Pill.
"Mr. Su is our honored guest, as are you two. We are all here for Grandpa’s illness. Having one more person gives us additional assurance," said Lu Wanrong.
"As long as they have confidence, let them try. I’ll just sit here and have some tea. If they can’t cure him, come and ask for my help." Su Chengyu said indifferently.
"Who do you think you are? From your tone, do you believe that your medical skills are superior to Doctor Jiang’s?" Zhou Tingsen scoffed.
