Everyone could see the helplessness on Su Xing's face. Shen Jingyu had always been looked down upon by his father-in-law, yet he managed to overlook it with remarkable grace. As the crowd cried and laughed, the atmosphere shifted from tears to joy. Both families had brothers who had grown up together, and this reunion brought forth hearty laughter from everyone.
The scene became chaotic, leaving everyone in a state of mixed emotions. After about half an hour, everyone finally composed themselves. Shen Huai Ming and Su Bokan faced their superior leaders for the first time. Shen Zhengxin and Rong Xigu's grandfather, Rong Lao, both elderly men who had long stayed away from the world, were present at this moment, patiently waiting for the two to gather their emotions.
Following this, several high-ranking officials personally awarded them medals. The environment turned solemn and respectful. Once everything was completed and everyone prepared to leave for home, Shen Jingyu’s arranged personnel called out: "Everyone, come to the private banquet hall on the top floor of Shenghao Yujing. Shen has prepared a family feast!"
As they discussed where to go that would be spacious enough for a good catch-up, Shen Jingyu had everything ready on his end. The arrangements had been personally prepared by Mu Beiming for those who could not make it to the venue.
A few minutes later, dozens of people arrived at the top floor. To facilitate dining, Mu Beiming had set up two large round tables and several smaller ones for the younger generation. Naturally, Mu Beiyao and some of Shen Jingyu's friends from overseas also joined in.
It was here that Su Xing finally had time to greet Zhu Man. After just getting off the plane, he felt that this gathering wasn't suitable for him, so he found an inconspicuous car and slipped inside after saying a quick hello.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Zhu Man appeared indifferent until he spotted Su Xing. "So you’re the critically ill patient!" Zhu Man expressed immense interest in Su Xing right away. As soon as they started talking, he pinched Su Xing's wrist to check his pulse.
At that moment, Shen Jingyu’s brothers and a group of Su Xing’s friends, including younger family members, gathered around. Zhu Man waved his hand irritably: "Do you all know how to treat patients? Or do you all have terminal illnesses? If you have terminal illnesses, line up! If any of you have a status like Shen Jingyu and are willing to vouch for you, I might consider treating you; otherwise, forget it!"
Lu Xiangyi chimed in: "Are there any women in this world more arrogant than our sisters?"
Mu Beiyao added: "This young lady is impressive! Is she really a miraculous doctor?"
Most people gradually stepped aside. In the end, only Qin Yi remained calm as he approached, eager to see what kind of extraordinary doctor had been so widely talked about in recent days.
A message was to be delivered to the nobleman Shi Shao, who stood boldly across from Zhu Man, unabashedly sizing her up. Zhu Man was already aware of Shi Shao's identity, so she did not urge him to leave.
This time, Zhu Man took a bit longer to check Su Xinglu's pulse, examining the details of his skin, including his tongue, eyes, and even his ears. "You are quite daring," she remarked. It seemed as if she could see through the events that had transpired.
Su Xing felt a wave of embarrassment as he glanced back at his man. Sure enough, Shen Jingyu's gaze had turned dangerous!
At that moment, Zhu Man surprisingly spoke up to diffuse the tension. "Shen Jingyu, don't look at him like that! If it weren't for his boldness, you wouldn't even be seeing him now! You should be grateful for the doctors he found to prolong his life until he could meet me!"
Everyone in the room let out a collective sigh of relief. Zhu Man's words clearly indicated that he could be saved!
Mu Beiyao immediately stepped forward. "Miss! If you can cure my sister, I will owe you a favor for life! Whatever you want, I will do my utmost to repay you!"
Lu Xiangyi chimed in right after her, adding, "As long as I can do it, just ask! As long as you can ensure her recovery!"
Although others shared similar sentiments, they lacked the confidence that these two sisters exhibited. Moreover, no one could match the promise and support offered by Shen Jingyu!
It was evident that Mrs. Shen was a person with excellent connections. At the very least, these outstanding individuals from various fields were willing to follow her lead without counting the cost. It was impressive!
Su Xing found this young girl charming. Despite having spent many years in her secluded mountain village and possessing a somewhat arrogant demeanor, her overall appearance was still endearing.
"I’m glad to meet you; I hope we can get along well in the future," Su Xing said sincerely as he looked at Zhu Man. Since others had already made promises on his behalf, all he could do was cooperate and maintain a good relationship.
After all, Su Xing dared not hope for too much for himself!
In this situation, although it was bothersome, it fully proved that she must be a decent person. As for how well the two of them would get along? That would be discussed later!
However, I do have one requirement: since you've chosen to trust my treatment, you must not question it or go against any of my decisions.
Su Xing smiled slightly. "I've entrusted my life to you; I will absolutely comply."
Zhu Man was quite satisfied with this response. "Then you must also ensure that this man of yours won’t occasionally lose his temper!"
Su Xing chuckled softly. "Little sister, you're quite young yet so wise!"
Zhu Man grinned playfully. "If you had experiences like mine, perhaps you'd be even stronger than I am."
Her casual remark seemed to convey many untold stories. Those matters were not something they could casually pry into. As long as there was hope for Su Xing's future, that would be their greatest joy.
Soon, everyone took their seats. Zhu Man, who had seemed so talkative earlier, now adopted a distant demeanor as she sat at the table.
To everyone's surprise, they all gathered around Su Xing to chat, while Shi Shao was seated right next to Zhu Man.
What could have piqued the interest of this nobleman? It was undoubtedly due to Shen Jingyu's remark: "That young lady seems to have taken a liking to you."
Shi Shao had been single for years; who hadn't admired him? Yet, no one dared to covet him! When did this Little Princess realize her feelings for him?
So, he decided to take the initiative and probe Zhu Man: "Why do you seek my support?"
Zhu Man lifted her gaze lazily. Her stunning eyes, devoid of makeup, made her even more striking.
"Are you asking me something so trivial?" Zhu Man's tone was filled with disdain and arrogance, as if it were not he who was requesting something from her.
