The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine - Chapter 350

Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Slapping the Face!!!!!

Father Shu’s accusations against Huang Xiaolong grew more vehement, his righteous indignation found voice.

Indeed, it was a common sentiment. You lavish gifts worth billions upon other women, yet the gift you give to our beloved daughter is worthless!

Who wouldn’t be upset by such favoritism!

“Dad! You! Please say no more!” Shu Qinghan tried hard to deter him.

Yet Father Shu was non-stop.

Huang Xiaolong was rendered speechless in amusement. “You all… really don’t understand values. The Luminous Pearl that was auctioned for billions, the money I gave all to Feiyan… but in truth, the Luminous Pearl merely serves ornamental purposes. Whether it be the ancient medicine or this ‘Spirit Talisman’, their values far exceed that of the Pearl.”

“Mr. Huang, spare us your silver-tongued explanations! Save yourself some dignity! It would be more dignified to leave now compared to being escorted out by my servants and security later…” Father Shu said angrily.

“Fine, as the Shu Family wants me gone, I will go. I have some dignity left, if the host dislikes me, I will not insist on staying…” Huang Xiaolong added with a smile, his eyes slightly narrowed whilst looking at Father Shu and he spoke slowly, “Are you sure, you won’t regret it? Are you sure you want me to leave?”

“Ha-ha-ha-ha~~~ Mr. Huang, you look down on our Shu Family which is why I am asking you to leave, it’s only appropriate. Will I regret?” Father Shu chilly laughed, “You’re overthinking!”

“My wife, let’s go.” Huang Xiaolong decisively took the hand of Song Yuru.

“Little Long! Yuru! Don’t go!” Shu Qinghan cried out in alarm.

Huang Xiaolong just smiled at Shu Qinghan and said, “Qinghan, don’t worry, this disagreement is between me and your parents, it has nothing to do with you. Our friendship will remain unchanged. I hope your parents won’t regret their actions today…Alright, farewell. I’ll treat you to a meal next time.”

Having said these, Huang Xiaolong, hand in hand with Song Yuru, left the Shu Family villa.

All the guests looked on with mocking eyes as Huang Xiaolong and Song Yuru departed.

Shu Qinghan was crying, her face wet with tears.

“Qinghan! No more crying. If people give you useless things, yet you treat them as treasures; you silly girl… you are too naive. I’m afraid when you get cheated in the future, you’ll even help in counting the money!” Father Shu scolded sternly.

“No…no…Little Long wouldn’t cheat me… all of you…all of you misunderstood Little Long…” Shu Qinghan tearfully argued.

“Misunderstanding?” Father Shu angrily snatched the talisman that Huang Xiaolong had given her from Shu Qinghan’s hand, tossed it to a nearby servant, “Throw it away for me. Toss it in the garbage!”

“No disposal! That’s my birthday gift from Little Long! Don’t throw it away!” Shu Qinghan cried and screamed as if her favorite thing had been forcefully taken away.

Mother Shu sighed, and whispered in the servant’s ear, “Don’t throw it away for now, store it in the storage room.”

The banquet resumed.

There would be more guests arriving that evening, thus the birthday party would continue until the night was over.

All afternoon Shu Qinghan wore a gloomy face, looking dejected.

On the other hand, Chen Zihuan demonstrated adept social skills, getting along very well with both Father Shu and Mother Shu in a matter of a few hours.

Father Shu and Mother Shu held Chen Zihuan in high regard, instinctively believing that this young master from Jiangnan City would be the ideal candidate for their daughter’s future husband.

As for Huang Xiaolong and Song Yuru…

The two went for a movie and shopping spree after being kicked out by Father Shu.

“Little Long, never thought Qinghan’s parents…too…too repulsive…” Song Yuru pouted, visibly unhappy.

“Ha ha ha~ My darling, they just don’t recognize true value. The gifts I gave Qinglan and Qinghan are priceless treasures.” Huang Xiaolong stated solemnly. “Darling, do you believe me?”

Song Yuru nodded seriously. “Little Long, I totally believe you! The ‘Invisibility Talisman’ and ‘Pass-Wall Talisman’ you once granted me, aren’t they all priceless treasures? Therefore, the talisman you gave to Qinghan must also be real and beyond purchase! Qinghan’s parents really lack discernment!”

“Yeah, my darling, as long as you believe me.” Huang Xiaolong said with a beaming smile.

“Er…Little Long, don’t get upset, don’t take it to heart.” Song Yuru advised.

“I won’t stoop to their level.” Huang Xiaolong said nonchalantly, “The movie is about to start, let’s hurry!”

…

Nightfall.

The night breeze was slightly chilly.

Shu Qinghan’s birthday dinner was still held outdoors on the spacious lawn of the villa.

Various colored lights were lit, and the servants placed many tables and chairs.

The guests mingled around the garden, chatting and laughing.

Shu Qinghan still looked troubled and upset, responding to the guests politely but unenthusiastically.

Shu Qinglan, however, was still locked in her room. No one knew how she was doing right now, but of course, no one seemed to care about her state either.

At this moment, a servant ran in excitedly, addressing Father Shu and Mother Shu. “Master, Madam, the people from the Lin Family are here! Young Master Lin Zicong and others have come to celebrate Miss Qinghan’s birthday!”

“What? Young Master Zicong is here?” Father Shu and Mother Shu were visibly trembling with excitement.

Today was Shu Qinghan’s birthday, and although they had invited members from the four major clans, she wasn’t considered a significant figure. Therefore, while their gifts made it to her, they themselves did not.

The Lin Family’s few young masters had said they’d stop by for a drink in the evening and wish Shu Qinghan a happy birthday.

But Father Shu and Mother Shu hadn’t expected that Lin Zicong, the current hot prospect of the Lin family, would show up himself! This was the foremost figure among the ‘Binhai Fours’!

“Let’s go! Darling, let’s hurry out to welcome them!” Father Shu, taking Mother Shu’s hand, rushed towards the outside of the mansion.

“Lin Zicong?” Chen Zihuan, the young master of Jiangnan City, was startled to hear Lin Zicong was also attending, and a subtle fear surfaced on his face.

Chen Zihuan, being from Jiangnan City, was quite familiar with Lin Zicong’s reputation.

Outside the villa, Lin Zicong and a few figures from the second generation of the Lin Family strode into the Shu Family mansion.

“Ah~ Everyone! Sorry we couldn’t welcome you all from afar!” Father Shu greeted everyone with a beaming smile.

“Sure, Uncle Shu, Aunt Shu, you’re too polite.” Lin Zicong responded with a faint smile.

Actually, Lin Zicong’s decision to come that night was quite last-minute. He didn’t know Shu Qinghan personally, let alone cared for her parents.

The main reason he came was that he heard Huang Xiaolong was supposed to attend Shu Qinghan’s birthday banquet today.

Lin Zicong was Huang Xiaolong’s disciple and revered him to the point of almost worshiping him. If Huang Xiaolong was somewhere, and Lin Zicong could spare some time, he would always rush over to curry favor with him.

Father Shu and Mother Shu respectfully escorted Lin Zicong and the others to the lawn in front of the mansion.

The Lin Family members wished Shu Qinghan a happy birthday and presented the gifts they had prepared.

Chen Zihuan also looked forward to befriending Lin Zicong, so he took the initiative to introduce himself, saying, “Young Master Lin, I am Chen Zihuan from Jiangnan City, pleased to make your acquaintance.”

“Oh? You’re Young Master Chen Zihuan from the Chen Family? Hmm… nice to meet you.” Lin Zicong responded perfunctorily, clearly not taking Chen Zihuan seriously.

Chen Zihuan simmered in silent rage.

At this point, Lin Zicong scanned the area and noticed Huang Xiaolong wasn’t present. He then casually asked Father Shu, “By the way… I heard that Huang Xiaolong was also attending Sister Qinghan’s birthday banquet today. Why don’t I see him around?”

“Ah~~~~ Young Master Zicong, about this, speaking of it is somewhat… somewhat embarrassing…” Father Shu answered with a bitter smile. “Mr. Huang did indeed come today, but… well, never mind. Since Young Master Zicong asked, I’ll just tell it as it is. At noon, Mr. Huang gave my daughters Qinghan and Qinglan some gifts. But what he gave were just a few… a few inexplicable ancient drugs and a talisman.”

“A talisman?” One of the Lin Family’s second-generation figures, an uncle of Lin Zicong, reacted in shock and was filled with envy. “What… what kind of talisman did he send?”

These people from Lin Family, who had witnessed Huang Xiaolong’s remarkable talents at the Wolong Villa and his bizarre methods at the construction site, had long placed him on a divine pedestal.

A talisman gifted by Huang Xiaolong was nothing short of a divine artifact!

‘I don’t understand why you are not favored in the Shu Family. I don’t know what fortune Shu Qinghan has to know Master Long. A talisman presented by Master Long is priceless!’

The people from the Lin family were all fervently envious.

“Hehe, it is supposedly some sort of Spirit Gathering Talisman, but it was just a yellow paper,” Father Shu disdainfully shrugged. “I ordered the servants to throw it away. They even claimed that carrying the talisman would ward off sickness, prolong life, isn’t that just a scam?”

“Spirit Gathering Talisman? You threw it away?” The Lin Family members all bellowed in unison.

“You… you threw… you threw away the talisman personally gifted by Master Long?” One of the Lin Family’s second-generation figures was gasping for breath. “Where… where was it thrown? Quick, speak up! Where was it thrown?”

With that, he excitedly grabbed Father Shu’s shoulders. “Spit it out! Where did you throw the talisman?”

Seeing the situation escalating, Mother Shu quickly intervened. “It… it wasn’t thrown away… I… I asked a servant to keep it in the storage room.”

“I… I… I’ll buy this talisman! 10 million! Sell it to me!” The Lin family member who was grabbing Father Shu’s shoulders barked, “10 million, sell it to me now!”

“I bid 20 million!” Another second-generation member of the Lin family immediately shouted, “I have been feeling slightly unwell recently. Let me have this talisman, I’ll offer 20 million!”

“Old Eight, we’re brothers, why are you competing with me?” The Lin family member who had grabbed Father Shu’s shoulders earlier was both anxious and angry.

“Stop arguing! I bid 30 million!” Lin Zicong interrupted with an assertive expression. “The talisman is mine! 30 million!”

Everyone present was stunned beyond belief!
