Chapter 508 Almost Missed the Appointment
Elder Lu gritted his teeth secretly and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, Lu Jian is ignorant. Please don't take offense. I think he's not yet qualified to be your disciple. Don't worry, I will discipline him properly in the future."
After speaking, he glared at Lu Jian, "Lu Jian, get up quickly. Don't you look foolish?"
This was spoken as if to protect Lu Jian, but in reality, it was to dissuade Lu Jian from becoming Chen Xuan's disciple.
Lu Jian refused, "Grandfather, in the medical field, if I'm not the best among the younger generation in the provincial capital, I'm at least in the top three. How am I not worthy?"
Lu Jian was a little embarrassed.
Lu Jian was telling the truth. He was very intelligent and talented in medicine, possessing the capital for his arrogance.
"Mr. Chen, would you be willing to take me as your disciple?" Lu Jian turned to look at Chen Xuan, his face full of anticipation.
Chen Xuan frowned and said, "I don't plan to take on any disciples for now."
He was already busy enough and had no intention of accepting disciples.
Upon hearing this, Elder Lu breathed a sigh of relief. However, he misunderstood Mr. Chen's meaning, thinking that Chen Xuan looked down on Lu Jian's talent.
He looked at Chen Xuan with a smile, "Mr. Chen, it's okay if he's not suitable. How about I become your disciple?"
Lu Jian was furious upon hearing this and sneered, "Grandfather, don't worry, when you're old, I definitely won't pull your oxygen tube..."
Elder Lu's mouth twitched fiercely.
However, in order to reach another level in medicine, he could endure anything. This was the pursuit of medicine by a medical obsessive.
Immediately, Elder Lu also made up his mind, looking at Chen Xuan with bright eyes.
Lu Jian was slightly taken aback but not to be outdone. His medical skills were inferior to Elder Lu's, but he had the advantage of youth and a promising future.
"Mr. Chen, choose between me and my grandfather."
Lu Jian said with firm conviction, his eyes earnestly fixed on Chen Xuan, his expectation evident.
Everyone in the Benevolent Heart Medical Hall was shocked.
One was a renowned master physician of the provincial capital.
The other was a rising star in the provincial medical community.
Moreover, it was grandfather and grandson who were vying to become disciples of a young man. If this were to spread, people would be flabbergasted.
Looking at the two of them, Chen Xuan said with a wry smile, "Didn't I just say that I have no plans to take on disciples?"
Hearing this, Elder Lu and Lu Jian trembled, and then an endless disappointment surged into their hearts. They stammered, "Mr. Chen..."
At this moment, for Elder Lu and Lu Jian, it was no different from the sky collapsing and the earth shattering, a bolt from the blue.
Chen Xuan said calmly, "However, don't worry. Even if I don't accept you as disciples, I will still do my best to teach you. I will definitely not hold back."
Elder Lu and Lu Jian's faces showed some emotion upon hearing this.
Chen Xuan's medical skills were so profound that being taught by him was like a pie falling from the sky, or their ancestors having good fortune.
Becoming a disciple was nothing more than an extravagant hope!
Being able to follow Chen Xuan to learn medicine was already a great blessing!
Afterward, Elder Lu and Lu Jian also understood and slowly stood up.
Chen Xuan's time was precious. The more they could learn, the further they might advance in medicine. They were unwilling to waste even a second, and they were eager to learn.
As it approached evening, Chen Xuan suddenly sneezed three times. He glanced at the time and his expression changed drastically, "Oh no, I've messed up big time! That little devil will probably eat me..."
Elder Lu and Lu Jian looked at Chen Xuan, their faces filled with confusion.
Chen Xuan was always calm and composed; this was the first time they had seen him so flustered!
"The fifth needle of the Tai Chi Divine Needle, I'll talk about it tomorrow!"
With that, Chen Xuan rushed out like a gust of wind, stepping on the accelerator to the floor. The car instantly shot forward.
Tonight was He Qiongshi's fan meeting. He had promised to take Wei Linlin there, and it was almost time. If he missed it, that little devil would surely complain to Su Yunxi.
On the road, Chen Xuan drove his family sedan as if it were a sports car!
However, it was rush hour, and no matter how good Chen Xuan's driving skills were, he couldn't do much. Chen Xuan weaved through traffic, barely making it on time.
He Qiongshi's fan meeting was held at the Glory Stadium, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people. When Chen Xuan arrived nearby, many people were still walking towards the stadium in groups. He strode forward swiftly.
At this moment, near the entrance, stood three girls, all around sixteen or seventeen years old.
The two girls standing on the sides were wearing designer clothes and carrying limited-edition bags, costing at least tens of thousands, clearly indicating their affluent backgrounds.
Their pure faces were adorned with makeup that was not suitable for their age, making them look more mature.
The girl standing in the middle, however, was wearing a long black cotton coat that seemed to have been worn for many years, and a pair of faded jeans.
Her face, red from the cold, was bare of makeup, appearing exceptionally pure.
Her ponytail was neatly tied at the back of her head, radiating youthful energy everywhere.
This girl in the black coat, along with the other two girls, looked out of place in terms of clothing and style, as if they belonged to different worlds.
Yet, her eyes were very clear. Not only was she not self-conscious, but she became even more determined, like a winter plum blossom in the cold.
The girl carrying the pink limited-edition Louis Vuitton bag looked at Wei Linlin anxiously, "Linlin, are the people you found reliable? Won't they stand you up?"
"Qiao Yingjiao, why are you so impatient? He'll be here soon."
Wei Linlin gritted her teeth.
She gazed eagerly at the passing crowd, scrutinizing everyone who walked past, afraid of missing him.
Time ticked by, but the familiar figure still hadn't appeared.
Wei Linlin's heart began to pound. Would Chen Xuan really stand her up?
Qiao Yingjiao complained incessantly, "Linlin, why isn't he here yet? Look, everyone else has gone inside!"
"If he's not coming, it would have been better to find Gu Junjie earlier. Gu Junjie has tickets, really."
Wei Linlin said unhappily, "Qiao Yingjiao, stop your whining. You know I don't like Gu Junjie."
Qiao Yingjiao pouted, "Isn't Gu Junjie pretty good? The Gu family is about to regain its former glory. They have power and influence, and he's quite good-looking too."
"Then marry him!"
Wei Linlin, who never suffered in silence, retorted.
Qiao Yingjiao's face turned pale and then flushed. She gritted her teeth, "It's just that he doesn't like me..."
She couldn't understand what was so special about Wei Linlin that a high-quality young master like Gu Junjie would like such a fiery girl like Wei Linlin.
Naturally, she didn't know that the Gu family was quite covetous of the Wei family's official background.
"Consider yourself self-aware!" Wei Linlin added another jab.
"You..." Qiao Yingjiao gnashed her teeth in anger.
"Stop arguing. We are all good sisters. At worst, we won't go to the fan meeting. Don't let it hurt our feelings," the pure-looking girl said, her voice clear and crisp.
Wei Linlin, who feared nothing, looked at the pure girl and, unusually, relented, "Since Yaoyao has spoken, then forget it."
Qiao Yingjiao pouted and also relented.
"It's almost time, why isn't he here yet?"
Wei Linlin scanned the surroundings but couldn't find Chen Xuan, stamping her feet in anger.
"Forget it, let's go back. We can watch the recording another day. What a waste of time," Qiao Yingjiao said with great disappointment.
Just then, a few young people walked in. The young man at the forefront said with a smile, "Linlin, were you waiting for me?"
