Xiao Lu's answer was also very direct.
Looking into Wu Tian's eyes, she said, "Since your medical skills are so impressive, I'd like to invite you to my home to treat my grandfather."
"Treat your grandfather?" Wu Tian was somewhat taken aback by Xiao Lu's words.
He couldn't help but ask again, "What's wrong with your grandfather?"
Xiao Lu replied, "Half a year ago, for some reason, the left side of my grandfather's body became paralyzed. No doctor, no matter how skilled, could cure him."
"I had thought this was an incurable condition. But seeing you today, I believe you might be able to do it. So, can you help me?"
"Don't worry, as long as you can cure my grandfather, you can name your price. I absolutely won't refuse."
"So that's how it is," Wu Tian nodded, but he didn't immediately agree.
At this moment, Bai Ruoqi chimed in, "Wu Tian, why don't you go and help Xiao Lu?"
"Xiao Lu helped me quite a bit. I think we should repay her well."
Wu Tian considered it. Bai Ruoqi's words made sense.
Moreover, in truth, among the Xiao family, only Xiao Lu had openly expressed her willingness to help Bai Ruoqi. The others were uncertain.
If he could win over Old Master Xiao, wouldn't that mean the entire Xiao family would stand with Bai Ruoqi?
This transaction was definitely not a loss for Wu Tian.
Therefore, he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go with you to take a look."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lu became instantly delighted.
She exclaimed joyfully, "That's wonderful! In that case, let's set off now!"
And so, Wu Tian went to her home alone with Xiao Lu.
Xiao Lu's home was also extremely grand. Since this was the Xiao family's headquarters, it was even more impressive than Bai Ruoqi's residence.
Led by Xiao Lu, Wu Tian proceeded smoothly and entered the living room.
The living room was less like a living room and more like a palace, with incredibly luxurious decoration.
The large chandelier alone might have cost over a million.
Many people were gathered in the living room. As soon as Xiao Lu entered, she excitedly shouted, "Mom, Dad, I'm back!"
Xiao Lu's father was named Xiao Qiang, and her mother was Zhou Li.
Seeing Xiao Lu return, Xiao Qiang immediately smiled and said, "Daughter, you're back. I have good news for you, your grandfather is going to be saved!"
Xiao Lu was stunned by this.
Then, she said incredulously, "Ah? Dad, I haven't said anything yet, how do you know Grandpa is going to be saved?"
Xiao Qiang chuckled, "What are you talking about? Come, let me introduce you."
"This is Doctor Liang Tian, a leading Chinese medicine practitioner from abroad. I went to great lengths to invite him."
"With him here, there will definitely be no problem."
Xiao Lu hadn't expected Xiao Qiang to say this.
She looked at Liang Tian and saw that he was a man in his thirties, with a refined demeanor and wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
Upon seeing Xiao Lu, Liang Tian's eyes immediately lit up.
He quickly stepped forward, extended his hand to Xiao Lu, and said, "Miss Xiao, hello, hello. I'm Liang Tian."
Xiao Lu dazedly shook hands with Liang Tian and then asked Xiao Qiang with confusion, "Dad, what's going on?"
"You said he's here to treat Grandpa? Why didn't you tell me?"
Xiao Qiang smiled and said, "Don't let the doctor's youth fool you; his medical skills are extremely high. Even important figures from various countries have to queue up to have him treat them."
"I learned that he just returned to the country today, so after much persuasion, I had him flown here by helicopter. I didn't have time to tell you."
Xiao Lu glanced at Wu Tian, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Why did this matter have to come to her attention now?
In that case, wasn't calling Wu Tian here a redundant effort?
Xiao Qiang politely addressed Liang Tian, "Doctor Liang, I know you're busy. Since you're already here, please proceed to treat my grandfather immediately."
"Rest assured, our Xiao family is prosperous. We will certainly satisfy you with the remuneration."
Liang Tian's attention was not on Xiao Qiang at all; his gaze remained fixed on Xiao Lu. He waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about that for now."
"Miss Xiao, you are truly beautiful. Do you have a boyfriend?"
This question stumped Xiao Lu.
She asked confusedly, "Doctor Liang, what does this have to do with treating the illness?"
Liang Tian smiled and said, "I won't hide it. I don't have a girlfriend because I've always wanted to find a woman who is worthy of me, but I haven't succeeded."
"However, meeting Miss Xiao today, I feel like I've found that person."
"So, if I can cure your grandfather, can you be my girlfriend?"
"What did you say?!" Liang Tian's words startled Xiao Lu.
She then frowned and asked, "Doctor Liang, what do you mean by this? Isn't this inappropriate?"
"Isn't this taking advantage of the situation?"
Liang Tian smiled and said, "How can this be considered taking advantage? I'm simply taken with Miss Xiao and want to pursue you."
"A beautiful woman is admired by a gentleman. Is there anything wrong with that?"
As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Qiang with a meaningful gaze and asked, "Mr. Xiao, do you think what I'm saying makes sense?"
"Ah, this..." Xiao Qiang hadn't expected Liang Tian to propose such a condition.
He was momentarily at a loss for how to respond.
Seeing Xiao Qiang's hesitation, Liang Tian's expression turned somewhat cold.
He said, "Mr. Xiao, what does your expression mean? Do you think I'm not good enough for your daughter?"
"If that's the case, then I don't think there's any need for us to continue talking."
"If you want to save your grandfather, you'd better find someone else."
Seeing that Liang Tian intended to leave, Xiao Qiang immediately became anxious.
He quickly said, "No, Doctor Liang, you've misunderstood me. I didn't mean that at all!"
"It's just that for something like this, it ultimately depends on my daughter's wishes, doesn't it?"
"If my daughter doesn't agree, then my decision is useless!"
Liang Tian said coldly, "Is that so? If you say that, then ultimately you still look down on me."
"But then again, your Xiao family is so large, and I'm just a doctor. How could I be worthy of you?"
"It seems we have nothing more to discuss."
"That's it. I'm not going to save him. Do whatever you want."
With that, Liang Tian turned and walked towards the exit.
