Chapter 397 Material Possessions
Su Yunxi knew better than anyone what those two names represented.
Her gaze lingered on the names on the paper for three seconds before Su Yunxi looked up, her beautiful eyes fixed on Grandpa Su, and asked, "Grandpa... this..."
"These are the phone numbers of two old friends of mine who worked in the banking system. They both hold provincial-level positions in the bank now, with considerable power. Lending thirty billion to the Su family should be no problem," Grandpa Su said with a smile.
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Su Yunxi was very excited.
She knew this not only represented Grandpa Su's help but also his acknowledgment of Chen Xuan as her future grandson-in-law.
Chen Xuan looked at the slip of paper, his brow furrowed.
Grandpa Su had taken it directly from his pocket, indicating he had prepared it in advance to give to Su Yunxi.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan's good impression of Grandpa Su further increased.
Not long after, it was time for lunch. Grandpa Su specifically pulled Chen Xuan aside, and while eating, he inquired about precautions for his illness.
Chen Xuan said lightly, "Grandpa, your illness is already cured. Eat what you want, drink what you want, and there are no restrictions."
"That's great! It looks like I can have two drinks at lunch today!" Grandpa Su, free from illness, laughed heartily.
After lunch and a short rest, Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi drove off towards the Su family residence.
Su Yunxi looked at the slip of paper given by Grandpa Su, her face beaming, "Old Zhao is a minister at the headquarters of the Capital Bank, and Old Lin is a director at the headquarters of the Commercial Bank. They hold high positions. It seems there's finally hope for a thirty billion loan!"
Chen Xuan looked at Su Yunxi's happy expression, opened his mouth, but then closed it, choosing not to persuade her further. After all, there were still two days left, and time would fly by.
Back home, Chen Xuan took out a pile of jade stones and placed them on the table, starting to arrange them.
These jade stones were for the feng shui array at the Qingwu Mountain villa. Chen Xuan had already dismantled the array. Except for a few broken ones, most of the jade stones could be reused, so Chen Xuan kept them.
The provincial capital was relatively safe for now, but Chen Xuan could not guarantee its safety indefinitely, so he decided to set up the array again when he had time.
Jiang Biyun, upon learning of Su Yunxi's return, hurried down from upstairs, "Yunxi, you're back?"
Su Yunxi nodded, "I'm back."
"Did you encounter anything unusual?" Jiang Biyun asked indirectly.
Su Yunxi said with a look of lingering fear, "Yes, Mom. Do you know who I ran into there?"
"Who?"
"Guo Yulong!"
"You ran into Yulong? How was it?"
As she spoke, Jiang Biyun's gaze swept over Chen Xuan, who was sitting on the sofa.
"Guo Yulong hired some Doctor Lu, the 'miracle doctor,' to treat Grandpa. But unexpectedly, that 'miracle doctor' Lu was useless and couldn't cure Grandpa's illness at all. Grandpa could barely breathe."
Su Yunxi's words completely drew Jiang Biyun's attention back.
Jiang Biyun's previously beaming face instantly turned pale.
"Ah? How could this happen?"
Jiang Biyun said incredulously, "He promised me he could cure your grandfather's illness."
"If I had known, I wouldn't have told him. I thought he was so capable!"
Jiang Biyun was also full of regret.
If anything had happened to Grandpa Su, Su Qian would definitely have divorced her.
"What happened later? What happened to Grandpa?" Jiang Biyun asked anxiously.
Su Yunxi then sighed and said, "It's all thanks to Chen Xuan. If Chen Xuan hadn't administered acupuncture in time, Mom, you would have caused a disaster."
Chen Xuan?
Jiang Biyun felt a lump in her throat, her face pale with fear. She glanced at Chen Xuan with surprise, finding it hard to believe it was Chen Xuan who had saved Grandpa Su.
And he had done it by overshadowing that Doctor Lu, who had quite a reputation in the provincial capital!
"Mom, stop making a fuss. Chen Xuan is fine. He's much more promising than you think," Su Yunxi said helplessly.
"Promising?"
Jiang Biyun's heart stirred, as if she had thought of something, and she laughed, "Yunxi, don't try to fool me by defending this guy. Your grandfather's illness was definitely cured by Doctor Lu."
"Mom, why are you being so unreasonable?" Su Yunxi sighed deeply.
"Hmph, I'll call your grandfather! I don't believe he can be more capable than Doctor Lu."
Jiang Biyun said, picking up her phone.
"Go ahead, call quickly," Su Yunxi smiled.
Jiang Biyun took out her phone and called Grandpa Su. After a moment, she seemed to hear something from the phone and her eyes widened, "Ah? It was really Chen Xuan who cured your illness?"
Grandpa Su said sternly, "Yes, it was precisely Chen Xuan."
Jiang Biyun looked utterly incredulous.
Grandpa Su was somewhat displeased and chided, "Xiaoyun, don't introduce all sorts of random people to treat me anymore. What if something happens?"
"Okay, Xiaoyun understands. I won't dare to do it again."
In front of Grandpa Su, Jiang Biyun had no temper at all. Her face turned green and white, and she also hated Guo Yulong to the bone.
Useless at succeeding, but excellent at failure!
"Mom, what else do you have to say now?" Su Yunxi asked with a smile, looking at Jiang Biyun's embarrassed expression.
Jiang Biyun stubbornly retorted, "Even if he cured your grandfather's illness, what's the use of that? He still can't solve the Su family's crisis. That's thirty billion, thirty billion!"
"Thirty billion? See you in two days!"
Su Yunxi squeezed the slip of paper she got from Grandpa Su, full of confidence.
"I really don't know what kind of love potion he gave you."
Jiang Biyun snorted and, with a sway of her hips, went upstairs in her high heels.
As for the thirty billion that Su Yunxi mentioned, she didn't believe it at all.
In the afternoon, while Chen Xuan was arranging the feng shui array, the phone on the table rang.
He glanced at it; it was from Doctor Lu.
He gave a wry smile, and he knew without even thinking what Doctor Lu was calling about.
He put down what he was doing and answered the phone.
Doctor Lu's voice quickly came through the phone, "Mr. Chen, when do you have time to take over the medical clinic?"
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes.
This Doctor Lu's medical clinic was practically begging to be handed over to him, wasn't it?
Of course, Doctor Lu was eager to give the medical clinic to Chen Xuan so that he could smoothly curry favor with Chen Xuan and feel at ease asking Chen Xuan for medical advice.
Doctor Lu seemed to be worried that Chen Xuan wouldn't have time, and quickly added, "Mr. Chen, all the procedures are ready. As soon as you come, you just need to sign."
"Alright, I'll come over this afternoon then," Chen Xuan nodded helplessly.
"That's great, that's great!"
In contrast, Doctor Lu was so excited he was practically jumping.
"Grandpa, what's making you so happy?"
A voice quietly sounded.
Lu Jian was sitting on the sofa, gnawing on an apple. He looked at Doctor Lu's excited expression with some surprise.
Who was Doctor Lu? He was a renowned miracle doctor in the provincial capital and had seen many great events. Few things could pique Doctor Lu's interest anymore. This was the first time he had seen Doctor Lu so agitated.
"Mr. Chen, I await your arrival at Renxin Medical Clinic."
"Good, good!"
Doctor Lu nodded and bowed repeatedly into the phone before hanging up with a smile.
Doctor Lu was so engrossed in calling Chen Xuan that he didn't even hear Lu Jian's words, which only fueled Lu Jian's curiosity further.
"Grandpa, who called you? Why are you so happy?"
Doctor Lu said excitedly, "That Mr. Chen has finally agreed to take over Renxin Medical Clinic! Haha!"
"Ah?" Lu Jian shot up from his seat and said to Doctor Lu, "Grandpa, how could you give away Renxin Medical Clinic? The land alone is worth hundreds of millions!"
"How could you be so senile!"
"You don't know anything!"
Doctor Lu's eyes turned cold, and he coldly reprimanded, "That Mr. Chen has agreed to teach me the art of alchemy and the Divine Needle Technique of Tai Chi. What are these material possessions compared to that?"
"It's him?"
Lu Jian had heard the name of that Mr. Chen mentioned with great reverence.
