Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 778 - 781: My Son-in-Law

Looking at the puzzled expression on Old Zhang's face, Fu Yan introduced with a smile, "Of course, this isn't my son, this is my son-in-law! Not only is he my son-in-law, but he also has another identity. I..."

Before Fu Yan could finish, Old Zhang cut him off. "Oh, so he's your son-in-law! I was wondering why you came all this way to see me today. Turns out you just wanted to show off! Tsk, tsk, tsk, I can see you really like this son-in-law of yours. You even gave him your favorite watch. I remember back in the day, you'd chase me down just for trying it on, sigh..." Old Zhang shook his head with a look of mock heartache.

Fu Yan laughed and scolded him, "Give me a break, Old Zhang. You're getting old, why are you still so improper? I told you back then that this watch was for my son-in-law. But you saw how nice it was and wanted it for yourself. Who else would I chase down if not you!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

These words made Old Zhang a bit embarrassed. "Ahem, well, I didn't know, did I? Alright, alright, let's drop it. Since you have a son-in-law now, I can't be stingy. How about this, tonight we..."

Just as Old Zhang was speaking, Liu Ergou suddenly leaned close to Fu Yan. "Uncle Fu, something's not right!"

His words snapped Fu Yan back to reality. He had brought Liu Ergou here to treat his old friend, not to listen to him ramble on. Realizing this, Fu Yan quickly interrupted Old Zhang.

"Stop, stop, stop, Old Zhang!" Fu Yan said. "Honestly, listening to you talk, I almost forgot the real reason we're here!"

Fu Yan's words left Old Zhang perplexed. "Huh? The real reason? Wasn't the real reason to get a gift from me?"

Fu Yan rolled his eyes at that. "As if I'm hurting for your spare change! I know you're rich, but you don't have to show it off to me! I came here on serious business. Er Gou isn't just my son-in-law; he has another identity, one that is crucial for you! My son-in-law is a Divine Doctor! He came here specifically to treat you!"

At this declaration, Old Zhang's cheerful expression froze. The others in the living room immediately turned to stare at Liu Ergou, who could clearly feel the unfriendliness in their gazes.

Just then, Old Zhang said, "Stop joking, Old Fu. I've already written my will. If I really die, I'll leave you 10% of my company's shares. You don't need to conspire with an outsider to swindle me out of my money!"

Old Zhang's remark nearly made Fu Yan spit blood. Deciding to ignore him, Fu Yan turned to introduce his friend. "Ahem, Er Gou, let me introduce you to this old friend of mine. His surname is Zhang, and his name is Zhang Yuan. He's a real estate tycoon in our city!"

A real estate tycoon? He wondered who was more powerful, him or Zhang Xiuming. Of course, he didn't ask the question out loud. He was here to treat an illness, not cause trouble.

So, Liu Ergou turned to Zhang Yuan and said politely, "Hello, Uncle Zhang. My surname is Liu, and my name is Liu Ergou."

To give Fu Yan face, Zhang Yuan smiled, nodded at Liu Ergou, and said a simple, "Hello."

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a contemptuous voice cut through the living room. "Divine Doctor? Pah! As if the world has so many Divine Doctors. Even people from the Divine Healer Pavilion wouldn't dare call themselves Divine Doctors, so what does that make you?"

The remark was incredibly rude, a clear sign of contempt for Liu Ergou. Yet, Liu Ergou didn't get angry. He simply turned his head toward the voice and saw a young man in a Tang suit looking at him with disdain. Liu Ergou just smiled and said nothing.

In my eyes, this group is just a mob. It's not worth getting angry with them; it would only lower my own standing. As for the Divine Healer Pavilion... hmm... he's not wrong. The Divine Healer Pavilion doesn't actually have any Divine Doctors.

Zhang Yuan, still on the sofa, had also heard the comment. His face immediately grew stern. "Who said that?" he reprimanded sharply. "All who come are guests. He is my guest, and it is not your place to make such remarks. If anyone else has something to say, you can all leave now! I don't need any of you to treat my illness!"

At these words, the young man's expression froze. He hadn't expected Zhang Yuan to take Liu Ergou's side. After a brief stun, the young man snorted coldly and shrank into a corner, falling silent.

Zhang Yuan then turned back to Liu Ergou. "Er Gou, you truly are young and promising! I'm very happy you could come today, and I'm very grateful to Old Fu. But as you can see, so many people are here, so we ought to have some order. How about this, you let them examine me first, and you can take a look after they're done. Is that okay?"

Liu Ergou nodded without saying anything more.

He naturally understood what Zhang Yuan meant. The man didn't trust him and was afraid his medical skills weren't up to par, which would embarrass both him and Fu Yan. If one of the doctors present could cure him, there would be no need for me to act, and the matter would resolve itself.

Although Zhang Yuan's words were polite, Fu Yan was furious. He had brought a Divine Doctor to his old friend out of goodwill, only for his friend to be unappreciative. It was truly infuriating. However, he didn't show his anger, instead saying through gritted teeth, "Fine, fine! I'd like to see what these quacks can do for you! Serve the tea! Your best!"

Seeing Fu Yan's state, Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly and instructed a servant to bring the tea.

At that moment, Zhang Yuan addressed the crowd, "It looks like everyone is here, so let's begin. I must trouble you all today to take a look at this strange illness of mine! Whoever can cure me will be rewarded handsomely!"

As he finished speaking, the chaotic living room instantly became orderly as the doctors began to line up to diagnose Zhang Yuan. Most of these doctors practiced traditional Chinese medicine; only a small fraction were practitioners of Western medicine. The reason for this was simple: Zhang Yuan had already been to the hospital and seen the best specialists available. Bringing in more Western doctors was pointless.
