Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 247: Chapter 247 Asking for Someone More Capable

As the birthday star of the day, Old Master Xiao, dressed in a red Tang suit, his silver hair neatly swept back into a sleek pompadour, looked sprightly and radiated joy.

At this moment, Old Master Xiao also noticed Ye Haochuan. Seeing him at his granddaughter’s side, he beckoned with great relief and smiled, ”Young Chap Ye, come, come over here to this old man.”

Since their last meeting at Sun Yongsheng’s villa, Ye Haochuan had a profound impression of Old Master Xiao’s majestic yet kindly demeanor. Thus, seeing him again today, he wasn’t intimidated despite Old Master Xiao’s status as the head of the Xiao Family.

With a laugh, Ye Haochuan walked up to him alongside Xiao Haimie and said cheekily, ”Old Master, congratulations, you must be very joyful today for your fiftieth...”

At his side, Xiao Haimie heard him and was at a loss for words. She elbowed him, ”What fiftieth celebration? Look at your memory, Grandpa is celebrating his seventieth.”

Ye Haochuan shook his head and seriously said, ”What’s wrong with my memory? Did I say something incorrect? Old Master’s vitality and physical condition are clearly similar to a fifty-year-old man!”

”Haha!” Old Master Xiao burst into laughter. ”Good one, Young Chap Ye, making up such blatant lies. I’m well into my senescence, where did you get ’fiftieth’ from?”

”Ah, Old Master, it’s not your fiftieth?”

Ye Haochuan shrunk his neck and said, ”I’m sorry, Old Master. Seeing your rosy complexion and youthful vigor, strong as ever, I truly mistook you for a fifty-year-old. It slipped my mind that it’s actually your seventieth birthday. My bad, my bad.”

Old Master Xiao laughed heartily again. This Young Chap Ye really had character, his way with words was quite unique!

Xiao Haimie also couldn’t help but giggle sweetly. This scoundrel, with that glib tongue of his, could charm countless girls indeed.

The people around them were all gasping—this guy’s thick skin was one for the ages. How could he spout such utterly cheesy lines without any shame?

Old Master Xiao already had a great impression of Ye Haochuan and said, ”Young Chap Ye, you are indeed sharp-witted, always picking the best things to say. Well then, just stick with Haimie from now on. I, this old coot, won’t oppose it.”

Ye Haochuan was beyond delighted, gaining Old Master Xiao’s explicit approval was better than anything!

Xiao Haimie was somewhat bashfully thrilled. With her grandfather’s words, she could now officially date the man of her dreams.

The talented young men around them were pounding their chests in frustration. Where did this guy spring from? How come as soon as they heard that Eldest Miss Xiao had just divorced her former husband, she’d already found a new beau?

Just then, Xiao Haimie suddenly remembered the top-grade jadeite they’d won that night and gave Ye Haochuan a meaningful glance.

Immediately catching on, Ye Haochuan smiled and said, ”Old Master, today you celebrate your seventieth birthday, and I’ve prepared a modest gift for you, please accept it.”

Saying this, as if by magic, he took out a huge piece of top-grade jadeite from his storage ring and presented it before Old Master Xiao.

”My heavens, this... This is the unseen Glass-Type Floating Green on Violet Jadeite, worth billions!”

Suddenly, someone knowledgeable about jadeite exclaimed in the crowd, followed by a wave of astonishment.

Old Master Xiao was taken aback as well, and upon a close look, it was indeed so!

Being a collector of jadeite himself, he was delighted and laughed, ”Young Chap Ye, you’re really generous. Considering the size of this piece, it must be worth at least fifty billion! Aren’t you heartbroken?”

”Why should I lament over others’ wealth, when it’s none of my concern?” Ye Haochuan chuckled. ”It’s better to woo a wife like Eldest Miss Xiao.”

Of course, with a ’Bai Fu Mei’ like Eldest Miss Xiao and the wealth of the Xiao family, even if a substantial portion went to her in a division, she’d still inherit hundreds of billions in assets. Having her, what’s fifty billion to worry about?

Of course, with his interest, he really didn’t care about this bit of money because for him, as a cultivator, pills were the most substantial things.

”What a way to claim others’ money as something outside of your own, you sly dog,” Old Master Xiao chuckled and scolded and then requested, waving his hand, ”Alright, Young Chap Ye, you stay here. I will need your help later. As for Haimie, you should go back to your room and rest well; you must be tired after just getting off the plane. You can come out when the birthday banquet starts.”

”Yes, grandfather.”

”Okay, Old Master.”

Subsequently, Xiao Haimei entered the villa, while Ye Haochuan stayed, slightly puzzled about what exactly Old Master Xiao needed him for.

At that moment, a square-faced middle-aged man approached and eyed Ye Haochuan, filled with smiles.

Ye Haochuan was eyeing him too, sensing a regal quality about the cleanly dressed man.

”Young Chap Ye, let me introduce you,” the Old Master began. ”This is the Mayor of Haishan City, Lin Xiaoquan...”

Upon hearing Old Master Xiao’s introduction, Ye Haochuan suddenly realized. Lin Xiaoquan was none other than Lin Qingxuan’s father!

”Nice to meet you!” Ye Haochuan responded, feeling unexpectedly honored.

Lin Xiaoquan gave a slight smile, ”Doctor Ye, you are too humble. It was thanks to your skilled diagnosis that my daughter recovered. Our family has discussed it and would like to invite you to a dinner at my home tomorrow. Would Doctor Ye be so kind to grace us with your presence?”

Having already agreed to Lin Qingxuan, Ye Haochuan immediately stated there was no problem.

After chatting casually with Lin Xiaoquan for a while, Old Master Xiao mentioned he needed to take Ye Haochuan to handle some matters, prompting Lin Xiaoquan to graciously excused himself.

”Young Chap Ye, come with me,” Old Master Xiao said with a laugh.

”Alright.”

Following Old Master Xiao inside the villa, they soon reached a room, where a middle-aged man was already standing by the door.

This man was in his fifties and looked quite respectable. However, Ye Haochuan sensed something was off—beneath his sharp eyes seemed to lurk something elusive.

”Young Chap Ye, let me introduce you to this man. This is the father of that girl Haimie, my son Xiao Feng,” Old Master Xiao explained.

Listening to Old Master Xiao’s words, Ye Haochuan suddenly understood. This man was his potential future lord father-in-law!

However, considering the strange and poor relationship between Xiao Haimei and him, Ye Haochuan found it difficult to connect him with the future Mount Tai.

It wasn’t just Ye Haochuan being sentimental; this man really lacked responsibility. He had neglected Xiao Haimei’s mother for a long time due to his affair, leading to her depression and death. Ever since Xiao Haimei was little, he had never fulfilled his duties as a father.

At the same time, Ye Haochuan vaguely sensed that Old Master Xiao’s purpose in having him meet Xiao Feng was likely related to that beast, Xiao Ding.

Sure enough, after exchanging a few polite words with Xiao Feng, Old Master Xiao said, ”Young Chap Ye, you are a skilled healer. I’ve brought you here because I’d like you to check on my good-for-nothing grandson. I don’t know what’s wrong with him lately, he suddenly... became incapable of performing as a man. We have a large family business that eventually needs a successor, so I need to trouble you.”

Here it comes, here it comes!

Ye Haochuan’s heart tightened. It seemed that Old Master Xiao might not know about the series of disgraceful acts his beastly grandson had committed. Probably, Xiao Haimei, considering their sibling ties, had not disclosed such disgraceful matters to Old Master Xiao.

”Old Master, I’m sorry, but I can’t cure your grandson’s condition. Please seek someone more capable,” Ye Haochuan said coolly.
