Chapter 9

In the grand hall of the Gao family, everyone was speechless and stunned, watching the young man who seemed to take Jiang Xiaotang's words lightly.

Throughout the Jiangdong region, if Jiang Xiaotang were to propose a marriage alliance, countless people would flock to the Jiang family's gate like moths to a flame.

But this young man?

He actually needed to think about it!

Gao Laozhu's heart was equally shocked. Chen Xuan's response was like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart. If he didn't even consider the Jiang family's granddaughter, how much less would he consider the Gao family?

However, Jiang Xiaotang was somewhat pleased by Chen Xuan's response and said, "Thank you, Little Divine Doctor. As soon as you have made up your mind, the Jiang family will be ready to fulfill this marriage alliance, and we will never break our word like some untrustworthy scoundrels."

These words made the faces of all the Jiang family members flush with embarrassment.

How could Grandfather Jiang value that young man so much? What kind of ability did he have?

The guests present were secretly trembling. They really couldn't understand why a small figure from the countryside had the qualifications to make Grandfather Jiang, a famous figure, make such a decision.

"Hmm, I will consider it," Chen Xuan nodded, then he looked at Gao Laozhu and said, "Back then, my master's wife spent three days of hard work to extend your life by eight years. After enjoying eight years of good life, you should have lived enough. Recently, don't you feel a slight pain in the Zizhong and Shanzhong acupoints? Enjoy the remaining month of your life, because your days are numbered."

After saying this, Chen Xuan, carrying his bag, swaggered out of the Gao family's grand hall.

As he left, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he let out a fart at the Gao family's gate!

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaotang hurriedly led Jiang Wushuang to follow him.

Gao Laozhu's body trembled, watching the young man's departing back, his heart was already in turmoil!

"Hmph, just a small figure who got lucky and climbed up the big tree of Jiang Xiaotang. Even if you climb up the big tree of Jiang Xiaotang, what can you do? It's still easy for me to play with you, this country bumpkin..." Zhou Jian said, looking at the dispirited Gao family members, "Gao Laozhu, there's no need to worry. Recently, my Zhou family has connected with Lord Wu. As long as Lord Wu supports us, Jiang Xiaotang won't dare to act rashly."

"Lord Wu..."

The guests present drew a sharp breath. Lord Wu was also one of the major figures in the Jiangdong region, with a status equal to Grandfather Jiang.

Hearing this, Wu Lili, who was originally somewhat worried, exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Wu is the most senior major figure in the Jiangdong region, with a deeply rooted status. Zhou Jian, you are the most promising. From now on, our Gao family will rely on you."

"Of course, Zhou Jian is the most promising. That damned country bumpkin even wants to make our Gao family regret it. Hmph, once Lord Wu stands behind us, even if that country bumpkin climbs up Grandfather Jiang, he will never surpass our Gao family in his lifetime."

Gao Laozhu sighed with relief, looking at Zhou Jian with even more affection.

Gao Yao looked at the direction Chen Xuan left with a proud face. She sneered in her heart. A country bumpkin with no power or influence really thinks that climbing up Grandfather Jiang will turn him into a phoenix? Compared to their prestigious families, he still falls short by a long way. He will never surpass the Gao family in his lifetime. Her judgment was correct; compared to that disgusting country bumpkin, Zhou Jian was ten times, a hundred times stronger!

...

"Little Divine Doctor, thank you for your help on the train today. If it weren't for you, I don't know how long I would have lived. This time, I, Jiang Xiaotang, owe you a huge favor!" In a luxurious car of the Jiang family's convoy driving on the road, Jiang Xiaotang looked at Chen Xuan with sincerity.

"That's no big deal, and you also helped me just now. We're even. By the way, call me Chen Xuan." Chen Xuan, sitting in the extremely luxurious car, secretly touched his buttocks. Damn, it feels so good. When I have money, I'll buy a car like this too. When I drive it back to Taiping Village, Wang Guafu and Xiao Ying will definitely throw themselves at me.

Jiang Xiaotang didn't know Chen Xuan's thoughts. He only thought Chen Xuan was being modest. After all, he had spent over a hundred million just to treat his illness, not to mention other hidden expenses.

"I dare not, Divine Doctor Chen's medical skills are extraordinary. In our country, you are probably at the hall level. How can I call you by your name?" Jiang Xiaotang said, "Divine Doctor Chen, as a token of gratitude, please accept this small gift."

Jiang Xiaotang glanced at Jiang Wushuang, who reluctantly handed a property deed and a car key to Chen Xuan.

Jiang Xiaotang had these things prepared as soon as he got off the train. After the Jiang family found out Chen Xuan's whereabouts, he immediately rushed to the Gao family.

Chen Xuan looked at the two items in front of him. Even though he was from a rural area, he knew what these things were, but he didn't reach out to take them.

Although he was mischievous and sometimes even a scoundrel, he had his own principles.

His master often warned him: many things that fate bestows are already secretly priced!

All gifts come at a cost!

Moreover, he disliked the gifts given with ulterior motives like Jiang Xiaotang's.

Chen Xuan looked at Jiang Xiaotang, "To say I'm not tempted would be a lie, but I will only get what I want with my own hands. You Jiang family can take these back."

Hearing this, Jiang Wushuang looked at him with surprise. This guy who just came from the countryside could resist such temptation. She probed, "You really don't want it? This is a villa in Lijiang Pavilion worth tens of millions, and a sports car worth eight million."

She had coveted that villa in Lijiang Pavilion for a long time, but even though Jiang Xiaotang loved her, he never agreed.

Now, Jiang Xiaotang was giving this villa to this poor guy who just came from the countryside, and he didn't want it!

Chen Xuan couldn't help but shiver. What? A villa worth tens of millions and a sports car worth eight million...

Damn, this old guy is too rich!

Wait, he wanted to marry me to the girl in front of me, so... why not just go along with it!

This guy thought shamelessly, looking at the property deed and car key that Jiang Wushuang took back. He really wanted to slap himself. Why did you pretend to be so noble? That's a villa worth tens of millions. What's wrong with bending a little?

Jiang Xiaotang looked at him with admiration and said, "Divine Doctor Chen is truly a great person. It was I who was shortsighted, using these vulgar things to insult you."

Insult? Insult my sister, can you insult me again?

I regret it!

Chen Xuan wanted to cry but couldn't.

But since he had already put on this act, he naturally couldn't ask for it back.

Now he finally understood the saying: Don't show off, or you'll get struck by lightning!
