Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Can You Insult Mr. Lin Dong?

The Zhou family, led by Zhou Shichang, went to welcome the guests.

They walked hundreds of meters to the junction where they waited for the luxury car fleet of the Zhou Shi Clan to arrive.

Zhou Shichang could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart.

In ancient Dragon Country, only the elites among the members of a major clan could enter The Hall and sit down to truly participate in the discussion of important family affairs, a status known as ”ascending to the hall and entering the inner chambers.”

Often, those who could ”ascend to the hall and enter the inner chambers” were recognized by the clan and held a high status within the clan.

As a member of the Zhou Shi Clan, Zhou Shichang had always dreamed of achieving this status.

Despite having held the high position of Medicine Supervisor, he never qualified for such recognition. He thought that he would never achieve this in his lifetime.

Little did he expect that such an opportunity would arise after his retirement.

”I, Zhou Shichang, having a son-in-law like Lu Feng, have no regrets in this life!” he secretly said to himself.

At this moment, the fleet finally arrived in front of them.

Because they were blocking the road, the fleet naturally came to a stop.

Zhou Shichang, with Zhou Na and Zhou Ming among others, headed towards the fleet, specifically to the leading Hongqi car.

That car was the exclusive vehicle of the Patriarch of the Zhou Family, Zhou Gong.

At the moment, the car window was rolled down, and in the back seat sat Zhou Gong, the patriarch himself.

By his side, his granddaughter Zhou Yue was assisting him.

Zhou Shichang approached the window and bowed with his hands clasped, greeting, ”Master Zhou.”

At this moment, Zhou Gong looked at Zhou Shichang. He recognized him, glanced at him and said indifferently,

”So it’s Shichang, what are you doing here?”

Zhou Shichang was taken aback, ”Master Zhou, what do you mean? It’s my birthday today, of course, I’m here. Aren’t you here to attend Shichang’s birthday banquet?”

Upon hearing this, Master Zhou was also startled, and then he shook his head, saying, ”Today, I am here to attend Mr. Qiao Guoting’s birthday banquet!”

”This...” Zhou Shichang was dumbstruck.

He turned to his granddaughter Zhou Na, ”Na Na, what’s going on?”

Zhou Na hurriedly said, ”Master Zhou, is there a misunderstanding? I previously invited Third Elder Zhou and Miss Zhou Yue, and at that time, Miss Zhou Yue agreed to attend my grandfather’s birthday banquet.”

”Why has it turned into attending the Qiao family’s birthday banquet now?”

Master Zhou did not respond.

Zhou Yue broke the silence and said to Zhou Shichang and Zhou Na,

”Oh, it’s my fault. I forgot about your event. I forgot to notify you that today, I have decided to accompany my grandfather to Elder Qiao’s banquet instead.”

”Which means I won’t be able to attend yours!”

”You won’t blame me, right?”

”This...” Zhou Shichang felt tremendously awkward inside.

However, in the face of the people from the patriarch’s family of the Zhou clan, how could he dare utter a word of blame?

”Not at all, not at all. So Master Zhou is here to attend the Qiao family’s birthday banquet. It was Shichang who misunderstood.” He quickly cleared the way for the fleet to pass.

Soon, the Zhou clan’s convoy brushed past Zhou Shichang and his family, stirring up whirls of dust.

Zhou Shichang, watching the dust in front of him, felt his face turned as dusty and dismal as the ground.

Zhou Ming, unwilling to let go, said, ”Could it be that Master Zhou and the others attended the Qiao family’s banquet because of Lin Dong?”

As he asked this, the voice of the Qiao family’s MC rose up,

”The Patriarch of the Zhou Shi Clan, Master Zhou, accompanied by Mr. Zhou Tianming and Miss Zhou Yue of the Zhou family, has arrived to celebrate Mr. Qiao Guoting’s birthday!”

This announcement, naturally, stirred up heated discussion.

That Zhou businessman exclaimed, ”This...this is a mistake. So the patriarch didn’t come to wish Zhou Shichang, Elder Zhou, a happy birthday. He came to congratulate the Qiao family, just like President Shen Yun. Is it all for that Mr. Lin Dong?”

”What exactly is Lin Dong’s identity?”

”...”

At this point, Zhou Shichang dejectedly led Zhou Na, Zhou Ming, and other family members back to the hotel’s entrance.

Meanwhile, Zhou Gong, the patriarch of the Zhou family, had already arrived before Qiao Guoting with Zhou Tianming and Zhou Yue in tow.

Zhou Gong said with a smile, clasping his hands, ”Elder Brother Qiao, may I call you that? Happy birthday.”

Qiao Guoting, flattered, hurriedly replied, ”Elder Zhou, you’re being too kind. I’m not worthy of being called your ’brother’.”

Zhou Gong dismissed it with a wave of his hand, ”Brother Qiao, you jest. I consider it an honor to call you brother. Your family is fortunate, especially your granddaughter—excellent vision! If my granddaughter were as fortunate as she is, that would be wonderful.”

After a brief exchange, Zhou Gong turned to Lin Dong, clasping his hands again,

”Mr. Lin Dong, I’ve come uninvited. You won’t hold it against me, will you?”

Lin Dong smiled and gestured, ”Guests are always welcome, Master Zhou, please come inside.”

Zhou Gong laughed and nodded, leading the Zhou family members towards the interior.

At that moment, Chu Lan thought of something and couldn’t help asking,

”Master Zhou, Mr. Zhou, I have a question for you. Lin Dong claims that Wuying Resort is all his, but the resort is clearly owned by your Zhou family.”

”Aren’t you bothered by him bragging like this?”

Hearing Chu Lan say this, even her father Chu Yunhai couldn’t bear it; had his daughter gone demented?

Being an online celebrity had clouded her judgment to challenge someone whom respected figures like Shen Yun and Master Zhou showed such respect?

As expected, her words caused Master Zhou and the others to frown.

”Who are you to speak against Mr. Lin Dong?”
