At this moment, the train had already arrived at the station, and the sweet voice of the announcer came over the intercom.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan pulled out the silver needles from the old man and put them away, then left with his bundle without even saying goodbye to the woman.
"Hey, don't go..." Jiang Wushuang was furious, but the old man was still unconscious, and she didn't dare to leave.
Two minutes later, the old man slowly opened his eyes, and at this moment, a powerful aura was emanating from his body.
"Grandpa, you're awake. How do you feel? Don't worry, if that bumpkin dares to mess with you, I won't let him off."
"Did that little miracle doctor leave?" The old man's expression changed. "Shuang'er, quickly, notify the Jiang family to find him. Even if we have to turn the entire Jiangdong region upside down, we must find him. He is a true miracle worker, and the Jiang family must do everything to befriend him."
Hearing this, Jiang Wushuang was taken aback.
Seeing this, the old man sighed and said, "Shuang'er, your grandpa is really better, and his martial realm has advanced to a higher level. All of this is thanks to that little miracle doctor. He is a true master, and the Jiang family owes him a great favor."
"Moreover, this little miracle doctor is not an ordinary person. The acupuncture technique he used just now carried a powerful force. I'm afraid he is a martial artist even more formidable than your grandpa. Don't argue, have the Jiang family do everything to find him. I, Jiang Xiaotang, must properly thank this miracle doctor."
Hearing the old man's words, Jiang Wushuang was completely stunned. That bumpkin is really a miracle doctor, and he is even a more powerful martial artist than her grandpa?
...
"Dongling City, as expected, is a major city in Jiangzhou. These tall buildings are much higher than the desolate place in Taiping Town." Outside the train station, Chen Xuan, like a country bumpkin entering the city, carried a bundle on his back, his face full of curiosity and excitement.
He then took out an address, which his master's wife had given him before he left, saying it was the address of his fiancée, whom he had never met.
"Fiancée, I wonder what she looks like? If she's even worse than Widow Wang, then I'm really in trouble." He muttered to himself, then hailed a taxi and said, "Driver, to this address?"
The driver looked at the address Chen Xuan gave him and looked at the rustic Chen Xuan in surprise. "Young man, are you going to Gao Family Manor?"
Chen Xuan nodded.
The driver was even more surprised. The Gao family was a prominent family in Dongling City. Could this country bumpkin have come to the wrong place?
However, the driver didn't ask more and said, "Young man, are you going to wish Grandpa Gao a happy birthday? Today is Grandpa Gao's 70th birthday, and many important figures in Dongling are at the Gao family. Unfortunately, we ordinary people can never enter that circle."
70th birthday?
Chen Xuan tightened his bundle. It seemed that before he left, his master's wife had given him a package of mountain tea, which she usually kept as a treasure. This should be a suitable birthday gift!
Half an hour later, Chen Xuan had arrived at Gao Family Manor.
Before him was a huge and magnificent manor, exuding a grand and imposing aura.
This was the first time in his life that Chen Xuan had seen such a large house. Compared to the mud house he had lived in for 18 years in Taiping Village, this place was like a palace!
"Wow, it looks like my future father-in-law is a super tycoon! I must seize this opportunity. Maybe I'll reach the peak of my life and marry a rich and beautiful woman." He thought to himself, feeling a bit smug.
In front of the manor, a red carpet was laid all the way to the road outside. Today, Gao Family Manor was filled with luxury cars and a steady stream of people, making it very lively.
At this moment, many guests were coming to Gao Family Manor to wish Grandpa Gao a happy birthday.
Chen Xuan tightened his bundle and stepped onto the red carpet, walking toward Gao Family Manor with a bold and confident stride. He was a fearless villager from the mountains, and such a scene did not make him nervous.
"Chairman of Tianhe Group comes to congratulate, presenting a pair of jade bracelets..."
"Chailang Pavilion comes to congratulate, presenting a piece of jade porcelain..."
At the entrance of Gao Family Manor, the master of ceremonies loudly announced to the manor, and at this moment, the manor was already filled with guests.
Chen Xuan, carrying his bundle, came to the entrance. The master of ceremonies, who had just raised his voice, looked at the rustic and obviously country bumpkin in front of him and almost choked. This kid must have come to the wrong place!
Chen Xuan didn't care what he was thinking and said directly, "Chen Xuan, from Taiping Village, presenting half a pound of mountain tea."
Hearing this, the master of ceremonies was taken aback.
"What are you looking at? Announce it..." Seeing the master of ceremonies lost in thought, his eyes even filled with ridicule, Chen Xuan was a bit annoyed. Damn servant, I'm the future son-in-law of the Gao family, are you blind?
The master of ceremonies' face turned stiff, and then he reluctantly announced to the manor, "Chen Xuan from Taiping Village comes to congratulate, presenting half a pound of mountain tea."
At this moment, Grandpa Gao, who was sitting in the main seat and chatting with the guests, heard this and was taken aback. Chen Xuan from Taiping Village? Half a pound of mountain tea? What is this?
The guests who came to Gao Family Manor to wish Grandpa Gao a happy birthday were also taken aback.
"Dad..." Gao Wenbang, Grandpa Gao's son, frowned and came to his side.
"Grandpa, did our Gao family invite this person?" Gao Wenbang's wife, Wu Lili, and their daughter, Gao Yao, also came over.
Grandpa Gao shook his head at them.
"What is Taiping Village? Who is this Chen Xuan?"
"I haven't heard of him in Dongling. To come to Grandpa Gao's 70th birthday and present half a pound of mountain tea, is he out of his mind?"
"What is this mountain tea? Is it some kind of valuable tea?"
"It should be. Those who come to wish Grandpa Gao a happy birthday are not ordinary people, and they wouldn't present a gift that doesn't fit the occasion."
All eyes turned to the outside of the manor.
Under their collective gaze, a simply dressed but clean young man carrying a bundle walked in confidently. Despite the many eyes on him, he didn't show any signs of nervousness or feeling out of place.
"Ha, where did this country bumpkin come from? Did he come to the wrong place?" Seeing Chen Xuan walk in, someone couldn't hold back and sprayed the tea they were drinking.
"Who is this kid? Did he escape from some mountain village? Today is Grandpa Gao's 70th birthday, is he here to cause trouble?"
"Look, what kind of era is this that someone still carries a bundle? This kid must be from some poor village for the first time."
In the Gao family's hall, mocking voices rose, and all eyes were on the rustic young man, with various comments flying around.
Grandpa Gao's face darkened. On his 70th birthday, a country bumpkin from the mountains dared to come and cause trouble, how dare he!
Gao Wenbang and his wife also had bad expressions.
Gao Yao looked at Chen Xuan with disdain. Where did this country bumpkin get the confidence to walk into their Gao family's door?
"Yao Yao, could this person be a relative of your Gao family?" A handsome young man standing next to Gao Yao looked at Chen Xuan with disdain and asked.
Gao Yao didn't say anything.
However, today was Grandpa Gao's 70th birthday, and as the host, although the Gao family didn't like this stranger, they didn't immediately drive him away.
Then, under everyone's gaze, Chen Xuan walked to a position five meters in front of Grandpa Gao, took out a package of tea wrapped in newspaper, and said happily, "Chen Xuan from Taiping Village wishes Grandpa Gao a long life and good fortune, a small gift of mountain tea, please don't mind it, Grandpa Gao."
Seeing the gift Chen Xuan presented, the guests' eyes became even more mocking and disdainful.
"Sure enough, a country bumpkin from the countryside. Look at the newspaper in his hand, it's almost moldy."
"Ha, I thought he would be some important person, but it turns out he's just a country boy. The mountain tea he mentioned is probably something he picked from the wild."
"Hehe, to come to Grandpa Gao's 70th birthday and present such a low-quality gift, this kid is really a weirdo. Does he think that the Gao family can only accept such trash as a gift?"
"Is the prestigious Gao family really related to this poor country boy? It doesn't make sense..."
