The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

Chen Dong followed Xue Tianxiang to the Jiangzhou Hotel. It was the best six-star hotel in Jiangzhou.

On the way, Xue Tianxiang had explained the whole situation.

Zhao Hongyu, the young lady of the ultra-powerful Zhao Family, had come to Jiangzhou on a trip with her second grand-uncle. But she had suddenly fallen ill. All the famous doctors in Jiangzhou were invited for a consultation. At the same time, someone had been sent to Beijing to fetch a national Medical Saint.

They made their way to the presidential suite, where several bodyguards in black suits stood guard at the door.

The door opened and Zhao Wenxuan came forward to greet them. Xue Tianxiang introduced himself, ”I am Xue Tianxiang. I came at your invitation.”

Zhao Wenxuan was a bit flustered. ”So you’re Divine Doctor Xue. I’ve heard so much about you. Doctor Jiang Yao is examining her inside right now. Please wait a moment.”

A moment later, the bedroom door opened and a middle-aged woman walked out, shaking her head. ”I’m sorry, Mr. Zhao, I can’t find the cause of her illness.”

Zhao Wenxuan grew even more frantic. Doctor Jiang Yao was the most famous Western-style doctor in Central Province, having won countless awards for her published medical papers. If she couldn’t find the cause, it showed just how difficult the case was.

Now, Zhao Wenxuan’s only hope was Xue Tianxiang. After all, he was the most famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in Jiangzhou. If he failed, they would have to wait for the Medical Saint from Beijing to arrive.

Zhao Wenxuan gave Xue Tianxiang a deep bow. ”I beg you, Divine Doctor Xue, please save my granddaughter’s life!”

Xue Tianxiang quickly helped Zhao Wenxuan up. ”Mr. Zhao, there’s no need for this. I will certainly do my best.”

After speaking, Xue Tianxiang started to lead Chen Dong and Xue Lele into the bedroom. But Zhao Wenxuan stopped Chen Dong.

”You stay out!”

Chen Dong didn’t really care and was content to let it be.

But Xue Tianxiang said, ”Mr. Zhao, this young man, Chen, has medical skills that surpass my own. If I can’t do anything, perhaps he can.”

Zhao Wenxuan’s face was full of disbelief, and he voiced it directly. ”What kind of medical skills could a wet-behind-the-ears kid like him possibly have?”

Xue Tianxiang swore solemnly, ”I stake my reputation as Xue Tianxiang on it.”

Seeing Xue Tianxiang say this, Zhao Wenxuan had a strange look on his face.

Then, Zhao Wenxuan said decisively, ”Then *he* can go in. You can’t.”

Xue Tianxiang was startled, then he lowered the medicine box from his shoulder and handed it to Chen Dong. ”Chen, you go!”

At this moment, Chen Dong turned to Xue Lele and asked, ”The Zhao Family is putting on such a big show. Is the consultation fee higher than Xiao Kun’s?”

Xue Lele froze, scratching her head. ”You mean Xiao Shishou! Oh, you can’t compare them. If you cure this one, you’ll get at least... at least two million, I’d say!”

Zhao Wenxuan’s brow furrowed, and he said angrily, ”Cure her, and you can name your price! Fail, and I’ll have your eyes gouged out!”

Chen Dong took the medicine box and smiled. ”Easy now! Easy!”

He led Xue Lele through the door. The temperature inside was freezing, like a refrigerator.

Past the folding screen, a stunningly beautiful young woman with a delicate figure lay on a waterbed, dressed in thin gauze. Despite the gauze, her private parts were in full view.

Huge blocks of ice were placed around the room, and two maids were constantly wiping the girl’s body with ice water. The thin, ice-silk gauze was also worn for heat dissipation.

Slipping into his role as a doctor, Chen Dong had no impure thoughts. ’It all makes sense now,’ he thought. ’No wonder they didn’t want me to come in at first, and then after letting me in, they barred Xue Tianxiang.’

The young woman’s body temperature was extremely high; this was the only way they could cool her down. There were no signs of disease inside her body, as if she was supposed to have such a high temperature. For a moment, Chen Dong also felt this was a difficult case. He had never seen such a condition before.

Suddenly, he noticed a thin cord around the girl’s neck. He stepped forward and gave it a gentle tug, and a red jade, which had been hidden by her shoulder, came into view.

Chen Dong understood instantly.

He said to Xue Lele, ”Let’s go out for now.”

Xue Lele was dumbfounded. ”Huh? I haven’t had a good look yet!”

’This little pervert!’

Back in the main room, Zhao Wenxuan asked anxiously, ”Mr. Chen, how is she?”

Chen Dong said flatly, ”Your granddaughter isn’t sick.”

”Not sick?” Zhao Wenxuan, Xue Tianxiang, and Xue Lele were all stunned.

”My granddaughter is burning up like this, and you’re telling me she’s not sick?”

Xue Lele frowned. ”Brother Dong, you’re talking nonsense. That beautiful girl’s life is in danger, and you say she’s not sick!”

Zhao Wenxuan flew into a rage. ”Brat! I see you have no way to treat her and are just spouting nonsense to save your own eyes!”

Then he shot a glare at Xue Tianxiang. ”What kind of quack did you bring me!”

”Someone! Gouge this brat’s eyes out! And send people to smash Hundred Herbs Hall!”

Xue Tianxiang and Xue Lele were instantly dumbstruck, their faces turning pale.

”Wait! Let me finish!” Chen Dong called out, stopping them.

”Your granddaughter was born with a ’twin’ red jade. The problem lies with this jade.”

Zhao Wenxuan was jolted by these words. Unsure if it was true, he immediately made a phone call.

A moment later, he got his answer: it was true.

’Something even I, her second grand-uncle, didn’t know? And this doctor could see it?’ Just this point alone was enough to astound Zhao Wenxuan.

Besides, judging by his tone, he must have a solution.

He hurriedly bowed deeply. ”I implore you, Mr. Chen, please lend us your aid! Forgive this old man for my earlier disrespect!”

Chen Dong helped Zhao Wenxuan up. ”I never said I wouldn’t save her. You just didn’t let me finish speaking.”

Now completely convinced, Zhao Wenxuan said, ”Sir, please speak.”

Chen Dong said calmly, ”This is your granddaughter’s destiny. She was born with the red jade. As long as the jade exists, she exists; if the jade shatters, she will die. The person nurtures the jade, and the jade nurtures the person. For twenty years, there could be no mistakes, or she would have died a premature death. Your granddaughter’s jade has been well-preserved, and the time has come. This is her fated opportunity.”

Zhao Wenxuan was even more confused. His granddaughter was about to burn to death, yet he called it a fated opportunity.

He asked with an urgent expression, ”I beg you, sir, please explain.”

Chen Dong was puzzled. ’Haven’t I made myself clear enough?’

”Get rid of all that useless stuff. As soon as her twentieth birthday passes, the red jade will merge with her, and she’ll be fine. Is that clear enough?”

Only then did Zhao Wenxuan understand. ”That’s right, Hongyu turns twenty tomorrow after midnight. We were supposed to fly out this morning, but she suddenly fell ill.”

Chen Dong casually tossed the medicine box to Xue Tianxiang.

”Since you understand, we’ll be leaving. We didn’t do anything, so it would be awkward to ask you for a fee. Let’s go, Divine Doctor Xue!”

Clutching the medicine box, Xue Tianxiang was as dumb as a wooden chicken, just muttering, ”Oh! Oh!” It was the first time he’d ever heard of such a condition. It was a real eye-opener.

Zhao Wenxuan quickly blocked Chen Dong’s path. ”No, you can’t leave yet!”

”Why not?”

”Two reasons. First, if we remove everything, my granddaughter will be in extreme pain and scream endlessly. This old man’s heart can’t bear it. Second, you haven’t clearly explained this ’fated opportunity’ you mentioned. As for the fee, just name your price.”

Chen Dong held up one finger. ”How about this much?”

”One hundred million? Done.”

Chen Dong was stunned. He hadn’t done anything, and even easing his granddaughter’s pain would be simple. He had planned to brazenly ask for a token million. But this old man was offering him a hundred million!

Chen Dong burst out laughing and instantly slung an arm around Zhao Wenxuan’s shoulders. ”Done! Absolutely done! Tell me, how do you want her treated? I’ll do whatever you say.”

’Man, making money off rich people is so easy!’

Chen Dong wrote out a prescription and handed it to Zhao Wenxuan.

He said, ”Prepare the medicinal herbs on this list. Combined with my Silver Needles, I can wake your granddaughter up and make her less pained. As for the specifics of her fated opportunity, we’ll have to see after she merges with the red jade. But if I’m not mistaken, judging by its nascent form, it’s a Grandmaster Body.”

A Grandmaster Body!

Hearing those two words, Zhao Wenxuan’s eyes bulged as wide as saucers.

At the same time, he said gravely, ”I hope none of you will reveal this to anyone!”

Chen Dong once again slung his arm around Zhao Wenxuan’s shoulders and patted him. ”No problem! No problem at all!”
