Chapter 202 - 202 202 Refusing to Take a Master Its Just
Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Refusing to Take a Master, It’s Just Good Luck! Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Refusing to Take a Master, It’s Just Good Luck! “Professor Chen, do you have any experience with burn injuries?”
Chen Jianhong chuckled, looking as if he was hiding some great secret, and patted Shen Zhongshuang on the shoulder.
“No experience, but I know someone who can ensure that Ms. Su’s burns won’t leave a scar. Let me contact them.”
Shen Zhongshuang knew that if Chen Jianhong said such a thing, it was definitely reliable!
“Great, I’ll wait for the good news from you, Professor Chen. If your friend needs to cover high medical costs, just let me know. Ms. Su might not have that much money right now.”
“Not a problem, my friend’s fees are fair.”
Qingwu glanced at Chen Jianhong, who was winking at her, and she turned away with a sigh. It was simple to prevent Su Mi’s burns from leaving scars; it just required some time in the lab to make a salve.
Shen Shaojia hugged Qingwu’s shoulders from behind, clicking her tongue in amazement.
“Xiao Wu, don’t you think our second brother is acting a bit oddly? This is… what’s it called, philanthropy?”
Helping to cover someone else’s medical bills, no matter how you looked at it, seemed strange.
Qingwu nodded, “Did second brother almost hurt Mimi before and now feels guilty about it?”
“Are you kidding! Second brother having a conscience? That would have been devoured by our third brother long ago!”
Shen Zhongshuang gave Shen Shaojia a light thump on the head and then gently ruffled Qingwu’s hair.
“Don’t lead Xiao Wu astray. Xiao Wu, don’t listen to your sister’s nonsense! I’m just showing some pity; there’s nothing more to it.”
“Oh, there are so many pitiful people. Why aren’t you paying for their medical expenses?”
“Shen Shaojia, don’t make me hit you in the hospital!”
Watching Shen Shaojia and Shen Zhongshuang joking around, each wanting to hit the other but afraid of hurting Qingwu, Qingwu felt a warmth grow in her heart.
Xuan Lengyue appeared in the hallway, pushing Elder Xuan in a wheelchair.
Shen Shaojia quickly skated over to Elder Xuan, hiding behind him, and complained,
“Grandpa Xuan, Shen Zhongshuang hit me! An unethical doctor with no sense of morality, report him!”
Elder Xuan saw that Shen Zhongshuang was just playing around with Shen Shaojia, and he shook his head helplessly, then looked at Chen Jianhong.
“Professor Chen, how’s my grandson doing?”
“So far, things are stable. Would you like to check on him?”
“Of course, I must see him. With his parents abroad, how else would I explain if something happened?”
Elder Xuan then turned to Shen Shaojia and Qingwu, “Why don’t you two girls join Grandpa inside?”
Qingwu knew Elder Xuan wanted Shen Shaojia to see the patient inside, who was her cousin from the Xuan family.
Shen Shaojia nodded, “Alright, we’ll go with Grandpa Xuan to have a look.”
“Sure, sure.”
Xuan Lengyue smiled helplessly, “Really, it’s such a bother for you both.”
She wasn’t in good health, and when her illness relapsed last year, it nearly took her life. Elder Xuan had pondered and discussed it with Elder Shen, deciding not to inform Xuan Lengyue about it.
Elder Xuan patted Shen Shaojia’s hand, words left unsaid, complex emotions crossing his face.
He understood how cruel it was for Shen Shaojia not to tell Xuan Lengyue about this, yet he feared the shock might worsen her condition.
With a sigh, Elder Xuan said, “Let’s go in and see.”
In the hospital room, Xuan Jing, lying on the bed with numerous tubes attached, saw Elder Xuan entering, and his finger twitched slightly.
“Just rest. It’s fine. Grandpa was scared to death.”
Standing by the bed, Chen Jianhong looked at Qingwu, lowering his voice, “He’s doing well. All the indicators are stable. The surgery was a success.”
Qingwu nodded gently, “Understood. If there are any changes, just give me a call, and I’ll handle it.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to tell your second brother? I feel like my back is breaking under the weight of this achievement.”
“If you don’t want it, I’ll find someone else next time.”
Chen Jianhong’s face nearly cracked from his smile; even the department awards for the next three years would bear his name. He’d be a fool not to take it!
Qingwu glanced at Xuan Jing lying on the bed, “Let me see the report data. Let’s give this space to Grandpa Xuan and the family.”
Chen Jianhong followed behind Qingwu, making room for the Xuan family.
Hearing the familiar voice, Xuan Jing’s fingers twitched again.
…
Leisure Inn Phoenix Building, Shen Mansion.
After the gambling stone convention ended, the Shen Family’s standing in the jade industry became unrivaled, and Shen Boyi’s face beamed with delight.
With a significant portion of the gemstone market under their control, imagining the profits made Shen Boyi quite pleased.
Adding to that, the complete bankruptcy of the Su Family lifted his spirits further, showing the efficiency of second brother’s actions!
Master Hai Xin sat in the living room, being massaged by Chu Yuheng.
“Put some strength into it. Haven’t eaten?”
“I haven’t, I’m an actress. I need to maintain my figure, don’t you know?”
“Maintaining, my foot! Don’t you know being able to eat is a blessing? The things you act in and call yourself an actress, ridiculous! I taught you skills only for you to squander them!”
Chu Yuheng balled her fist and thumped Master’s shoulder, sitting grumpily to one side.
Being an actress was her dream. She knew Master Hai Xin would hassle her about it once he found out.
Shen Shushan blinked and joined in the massage while signaling understanding towards Chu Yuheng, who had collaborated with him numerous times before.
“Are Teacher Chu and Master Hai master and apprentice?”
Master Hai Xin chuckled as he enjoyed Shen Shushan’s massage, gaining a higher opinion of the Shen family.
“No, no, I’m not acknowledging this apprentice.”
Inside Beidou Star, the relationships were called master and apprentice, but they mostly referred to inheritance, with one generation of Constellations raising the next, imparting their life’s work.
However, Chu Yuheng wasn’t cut out for gambling stone.
Whether it was Master Hai Xin with Chu Yuheng or Master Ji Changfeng with Po Jun, they didn’t publicly acknowledge apprentice relationships, only extending guidance from old to young, without the formal master-apprentice bond.
Shen Dongli was in high spirits, cheerfully saying, “It’s all thanks to Master Hai Xin today. For any activities Master Hai Xin has in Beijing, the Shen family will cover them.”
“No problem! What about your daughter? I think she has potential in gambling stone. Would she be interested in learning from me?”
The Shen family looked at Master Hai Xin in shock.
They knew Master Hai Xin was an elder Gambling Stone King, known for the finest jade, with numerous pieces coming from his hands for the Shen family.
Qingwu stood at the door, helplessly gazing at Master Hai Xin.
“Not interested, I have plenty of things to do and no time for gambling. You’re free to leave, and I’ve arranged your hotel stay.”
Master Hai Xin turned to see Qingwu, catching the warning look from his pupil, and he chuckled.
“Oh, I noticed you yesterday with the stone. I thought you had talent?”
“Just lucky.”
Qingwu knew Master Hai Xin couldn’t resist showing off, watching Master Ji Changfeng openly acknowledge a pupil relationship with her on the spot, sparking his interest.
She wasn’t ready to reveal her gambling stone identity in front of the Shen family.
Master Hai Xin had been waiting for Qingwu and felt at ease seeing her return.
The Shen family feared Master Hai Xin’s displeasure, and Shen Dongli quickly stood.
“Master Hai, our Xiao Wu didn’t mean it that way. She genuinely doesn’t understand gambling stones, it’s just a child’s luck. We appreciate your offer, but Xiao Wu said she wasn’t interested. Let’s take our time to discuss it?”
Shen Dongli would never do anything to upset his daughter. Since Qingwu expressed disinterest, he wouldn’t force it upon her.
Master Hai Xin glanced at Shen Dongli.
This father seemed acceptable, more reliable than the previous one.
Retracting his gaze, Master Hai Xin beckoned to Qingwu.
“Alright, I’m leaving. I left you a gift, remember to open it!”
