Qin Jiang's gaze also turned cold.
"Li Xu!"
Zhang Shuyun's cold voice rang out, "What do you think you're doing?"
"Don't be disrespectful to Mr. Qin!"
Zhang Shuyun stepped forward and pushed Li Xu away.
"I..." Li Xu felt incredibly wronged. Wasn't it you who wanted to teach him a lesson because you were annoyed with him?
Zhang Shuyun quickly came forward and looked at Qin Jiang with concern, "Mr. Qin, are you alright?"
This display of concern almost made Li Xu explode with anger.
Zhang Haoyuan also stepped forward and said, "My dear nephew, Mr. Qin is an esteemed guest of our family, I hope you will show him some respect."
Li Xu was left speechless. Had he stumbled into a hornet's nest? But now that Zhang Haoyuan had spoken, even if he was irked by Qin Jiang, he had no choice but to back down.
"Remember, today Uncle Zhang saved your life," Li Xu said coldly. "Otherwise, I would have beaten the crap out of you today. Someone like you isn't even worth noticing."
Qin Jiang said coldly, "If you hadn't stopped just now, by now, you would have been crippled."
Having said that, he ignored Li Xu and found a place to sit down.
Zhang Shuyun trotted over and rested her chin on her hands as she stared at Qin Jiang and asked, "Mr. Qin, are you really not planning to give me a gift?"
Qin Jiang asked indifferently, "What do you want? I'll make it up to you."
"How about... you dance with me for a bit? I feel like dancing today." Zhang Shuyun extended her slender fingers.
Qin Jiang remained unmoved, "I can't dance."
"I'll teach you."
Li Xu quickly stepped forward to intervene, "Shuyun, I can dance, if you want to dance I'll accompany you."
"Get lost!" Zhang Shuyun's face showed disgust. Why was this guy as annoying as a clingy plaster?
Li Xu couldn't understand – this guy was like a pretty boy without a trace of masculinity. How could Zhang Shuyun be so infatuated with him?
Just then, two figures walked in from outside the door.
An elder and a younger one.
"Elder Shen!"
"Elder Shen——"
Upon seeing the elder, everyone stood up and greeted him respectfully.
The elder nodded with a smile.
Even Zhang Haoyuan went forward to welcome the elder with great respect.
This elder clearly was a person of stature.
"Cough cough!"
The elder suddenly coughed a few times, his face slightly flushed.
Everyone was anxious in their hearts.
Zhang Haoyuan asked nervously, "Elder Shen, are you alright?"
"Grandfather! This man is but a libertine, how could he possibly be a godly doctor?!" Shen Yueling said with a displeased face.
Qin Jiang retorted, "What have I done to you? Do you want me to publicize what you've done so that everyone can judge the matter properly?"
Shen Yueling was so angry she trembled, finally shutting her mouth.
"Anyway, I don't believe you have the ability!" Shen Yueling continued to snort coldly.
Qin Jiang couldn't be bothered with her.
Shen Tianrong chuckled, "Young man, what do you think about my physical state?"
"Practice damage, severe meridian injury, and moreover, your internal organs have been eroded over the years due to improper cultivation, leaving you riddled with holes. You, as you are now... are a man on the brink of death!"
"Right?"
Shen Tianrong's pupils twitched.
Shen Yueling angrily rebuked, "What nonsense are you talking about?! My grandfather is perfectly healthy!"
Qin Jiang replied indifferently, "Elder Mr. Shen! You are aware of your own body. Is what I said... correct, or not?"
Shen Tianrong laughed loudly, "Indeed, Mr. Qin's insight is truly exceptional! It seems Young Zhang's recommendation was not wrong; you really are a young miracle doctor! Do you think there is hope for me?"
Qin Jiang spoke evenly, "Originally, if you had not met me, within three months, you would have undoubtedly died from a ruptured heart meridian. However, having met me, your life is not doomed."
Qin Jiang's tone was full of confidence.
Shen Tianrong sighed lightly, "Recently, I indeed felt my physical condition rapidly deteriorating, and vaguely felt as if life was approaching its end, which is why I resigned and returned to my homeland."
"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Qin. May I ask if Mr. Qin would be willing to treat me?"
Qin Jiang replied plainly, "You are a friend of Mr. Zhang, and for Mr. Zhang's sake, I can help you."
"Good!" Hope rose in Shen Tianrong's eyes.
He sat down to one side.
Li Xu stood by with a frustrated expression on his face—he had been completely overshadowed by this guy!
But, at that very moment!
"Buzz—"
A deafening boom resounded.
Suddenly, a giant bell flew in from outside the door, hitting the ground with a thud.
The ringing pierced through everyone's eardrums!
"Hearing that the Zhang Family's young miss is celebrating her birthday today, an old acquaintance from the Liu Family has come to visit especially!"
"Presenting, a giant bell!"
A mocking laughter followed, and two muscular men strode in from the outside.
Everyone was taken aback!
Who were these people?
Daring to challenge the Zhang Family? Presenting a bell at Zhang Shuyun's birthday banquet—wasn't that a slap in the face to the Zhang Family?
"The Liu Family! Could it be... the powerful and unparalleled Martial Arts Family from Jiangbei, the Liu Family?"
Indeed, upon seeing them, the expressions on the faces of Zhang Haoyuan and the others turned instantly grim!
"Liu Jianyu, don't push people too far!" Zhang Haoyuan slammed the table and stood up!
