The dignified overlord of the Jiangdong Region was actually proposing a marriage alliance to that country bumpkin! The entire Jiang Family had only one daughter!
In unison, everyone present turned their gazes toward Jiang Wushuang, who was standing beside Jiang Xiaotang.
Jiang Wushuang’s face flushed slightly; she never expected her grandfather to make such a startling decision so abruptly.
Elder Gao’s face twitched. The country bumpkin they had treated like dirt was regarded as a precious treasure by the Jiang Family, who even wanted to marry their only granddaughter to him. Could it be that his Gao Family's vision was truly that short-sighted?
Gao Yao wore an icy expression. The guy she looked down upon was being fought over by the Jiang Family. Was her judgment really that poor, or was the Jiang Family's taste simply twisted?
*No, it is definitely not that my judgment is poor.*
Gao Yao refused to believe it. She refused to believe that Chen Yu was truly an uncut piece of jade; he was nothing more than a piece of garbage with good luck.
If he hadn't latched onto such a heavyweight figure as Lord Jiang, he would be destined to remain at the bottom of society for the rest of his life.
At that moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Chen Yu—some with envy, some with jealousy, and even more with awe.
Once Chen Yu truly became the son-in-law of the Jiang Family, how many people in the entire Jiangdong Region would dare to look down upon him?
Chen Yu glanced at Jiang Wushuang, whose face was still burning slightly, and said indifferently, "I'll think about it."
*Think about it!*
Everyone felt a bit dizzy. *Think about it? Think about your head!*
That was the Jiang Family! To tie oneself to them was equivalent to becoming imperial relatives.
Even if they couldn't cover the sky with one hand in the Jiangdong Region, they were practically a force that could walk sideways!
*Think about it?*
Jiang Wushuang gritted her teeth. Did this damn little scoundrel think he wasn't good enough for her?
Inside the Gao Family's main hall, everyone looked on in speechless shock at the young man who didn't seem to take Jiang Xiaotang's words to heart at all.
Throughout the entire Jiangdong Region, if Jiang Xiaotang requested a marriage alliance, countless people would scramble to the Jiang Family's doorstep like a flock of ducks.
Yet what about this young man?
He actually wanted to think about it!
Elder Gao's heart was equally shaken, but Chen Yu's reply felt like a sharp blade piercing his heart: *I don't even care about the Jiang Family's granddaughter, let alone your Gao Family.*
However, regarding Chen Yu's response, Jiang Xiaotang felt a trace of delight. "Thank you, Little Miracle Doctor. As long as the Little Miracle Doctor has considered it, the Jiang Family can fulfill this marriage alliance at any time. We will certainly not break our promise like some untrustworthy villains."
These words caused the faces of everyone in the Jiang Family to burn with embarrassment.
*Lord Jiang actually values that young man so much. What on earth is he capable of?*
The guests present trembled inwardly. They simply couldn't understand what qualifications a minor figure from the countryside had to make the renowned Lord Jiang make such a decision.
"Mm, I'll consider it," Chen Yu nodded, and then he looked at Elder Gao and said, "Back then, my Master's wife spent three days of grueling effort to let you live eight more years. But after enjoying eight years of the good life, you've lived long enough. Lately, haven't you felt a dull ache in your Zigong and Shanzhong acupuncture points? Enjoy the remaining month while you can, because your time is running out."
With that, Chen Yu hoisted his bundle over his shoulder and swaggered out of the Gao Family's main hall.
Before leaving, whether intentionally or accidentally, he even let out a fart right at the entrance of the Gao Family's estate!
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaotang hurriedly took Jiang Wushuang and followed after him.
Elder Gao's body shook violently as he watched the young man's receding back. Monstrous waves were already churning in his heart!
"Hmph, he's just a nobody who stepped in dog shit and latched onto Jiang Xiaotang as a big tree. But so what if you've latched onto Jiang Xiaotang? It's still an effortless matter for this young master to toy with you, country bumpkin, until you're dead..."
Seeing the Gao Family members in low spirits, Zhou Jian said, "Elder Gao, there's no need to worry. Recently, my Zhou Family has established a connection with Lord Wu. As long as Lord Wu has our back, even Jiang Xiaotang wouldn't dare act rashly."
"Lord Wu..."
The guests present gasped. Lord Wu was likewise one of the heavyweights in the Jiangdong Region, holding a status equal to Lord Jiang's.
Hearing this, Wu Lili, who had previously been somewhat worried, exclaimed in pleasant surprise, "Lord Wu is the most senior heavyweight in our Jiangdong Region, with deep-rooted status here. Zhou Jian, you're truly the most promising one. From now on, our old Gao Family will have to rely on you."
"Of course Zhou Jian is the most promising! That damn country bumpkin still wanted to make our Gao Family regret it. Hmph, once Lord Wu stands behind us, so what if that country bumpkin latched onto Lord Jiang? In this lifetime, he'll never even dream of lording it over our Gao Family."
Elder Gao breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze toward Zhou Jian growing even more affectionate.
Gao Yao looked arrogantly in the direction where Chen Yu had left, a cold smile in her heart. *A powerless and penniless country bumpkin really thinks he can turn into a phoenix just by latching onto Lord Jiang?*
Compared to noble and prestigious families like theirs, he was still a hundred thousand miles away.
He would never dream of lording it over the Gao Family in this lifetime. Her judgment hadn't been wrong; compared to that country bumpkin who disgusted her, Zhou Jian was ten times, a hundred times better!

"Little Miracle Doctor, thank you so much for saving my daughter yesterday, and even being willing to produce a precious medical formula to treat my chronic ailment. I, Jiang Xiaotang, owe the Little Miracle Doctor a massive favor!"
The Jiang Family's luxury motorcade was driving along the main road. Inside a luxurious limousine, Jiang Xiaotang looked sincerely at Chen Yu.
"Your little ailment is a piece of cake. Besides, didn't you just help me out too? We're even now. By the way, just call me Chen Yu."
Looking at the extremely luxurious car beneath him, this fellow secretly rubbed his backside against the seat. *Goddamn it, this feels so comfortable to sit on.*
Once he got rich, he was going to buy a luxury car like this too. When he drove it back to Taiping Village, it would definitely make Widow Wang, Xiaoying, and the others throw themselves into his arms.
Jiang Xiaotang had no idea what Chen Yu was thinking internally, assuming the young man was just being deliberately modest. He hurriedly said, "I wouldn't dare! Divine Doctor Chen's medical skills are supremely accomplished. Even across our entire Celestial Empire, you are likely at the hall-of-fame level. How could I address you so familiarly?"
Jiang Xiaotang continued, "Divine Doctor Chen, to express my gratitude, I hope you will accept this modest token of appreciation."
Jiang Xiaotang glanced at Jiang Wushuang. She immediately took out a property deed and a set of car keys, handing them to Chen Yu.
Jiang Xiaotang had arranged for people to prepare these items the moment the medical formula took effect. As soon as the Jiang Family's people tracked down Chen Yu's whereabouts, he had immediately rushed over to the Gao Family without stopping.
Chen Yu looked at the two items placed before him. Even as a country bumpkin, he knew what these things were, but he didn't reach out to take them.
Although he was mischievous, and at times could even be called a scoundrel, he had his own bottom line.
A piece of advice his Master's wife often drilled into him: *Many gifts of fate have already been marked with a price tag in secret!*
All gifts come with a cost!
Furthermore, he disliked this kind of purposeful bestowal from Jiang Xiaotang even more.
Chen Yu glanced at Jiang Xiaotang. "To say I'm not tempted would be bragging. But the things I want, I will earn with my own two hands. You guys can take these back."
Hearing this, Jiang Wushuang looked at him in some surprise.
This little scoundrel who had just stepped out of the countryside was actually able to resist such temptation. She probed, "You really don't want them? This is a villa in the Riverside Pavilion worth tens of millions, plus a sports car worth eight million."
She had coveted that villa in the Riverside Pavilion for a very long time, but even though Jiang Xiaotang doted on her greatly, he hadn't agreed to give it to her.
And now, Jiang Xiaotang wanted to give this villa to this hateful skirt-chaser, yet he actually didn't want it!
Chen Yu couldn't help but shiver as a wave of urine panic hit him. *What? A ten-million-dollar villa and an eight-million-dollar sports car?!*
*Goddamn it, this old geezer beside me is ridiculously rich!*
*Wait, isn't he trying to marry the chick in front of me off to me? Maybe... I should just give in and accept!*
The fellow thought shamelessly to himself. As he watched Jiang Wushuang take back the property deed and car keys, he genuinely wished he could slap himself twice across the face.
*What the hell were you acting all noble for? That's a luxury mansion worth tens of millions! What harm would it do to lose some backbone?*
Jiang Xiaotang looked at him with a face full of admiration and said, "Divine Doctor Chen truly lives up to your reputation as an exalted master. It was my oversight; bringing out these worldly possessions is nothing short of an insult to Divine Doctor Chen."
*An insult? Insult your sister! Can you insult me one more time, please?!*
*Big Brother regrets it!*
Chen Yu felt like crying without tears.
However, since he had already put on this act of noble detachment, he naturally felt too embarrassed to ask for them back now.
He finally understood that saying: *Don't put on airs, or you'll get struck by lightning!*
