Chapter 547 Chen Xuan? Senior Brother?
"Yes!"
Elder Lu pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
"That's great!"
Shi Menglu was so excited that she jumped up when she heard this.
Her agent, Sister Mei, was also cheering.
"Elder Lu, if you can cure my illness, I'll give you a million yuan in consultation fees! No, two million yuan in consultation fees!"
Shi Menglu quickly said.
Two million yuan was nothing; as long as her appearance could be restored, she could earn it back in a single day!
Moreover, as long as her appearance remained, she could marry into the Su family in the capital!
"Thank you, Miss Shi."
Elder Lu smiled, stood up, and turned to leave.
Seeing Elder Lu about to leave, Shi Menglu frowned and asked, "Divine Doctor Lu, where are you going?"
Elder Lu gave a wry smile. "To be honest, Miss Shi, it seems you've been poisoned, but I cannot resolve this poison."
This statement was like pouring a bucket of cold water on Shi Menglu's head.
"You old scoundrel, you're playing with me!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Menglu's face instantly turned grim. Her beautiful eyes stared intently at Elder Lu, almost spitting fire.
This old fellow had said he could cure her just now, and now he couldn't? Wasn't that just toying with her?
"Divine Doctor Lu, you can't treat people like this!"
Agent Sister Mei roared.
Elder Lu's expression suddenly darkened, but out of professional ethics, he maintained his politeness, only his face turned colder. "Miss Shi, although I cannot resolve the poison on your face, my senior brother can. If he takes action, the illness will surely be cured."
Shi Menglu and agent Sister Mei realized they had misunderstood Elder Lu and immediately put on apologetic smiles. "Divine Doctor Lu, we are truly sorry for misunderstanding you."
"Hmph!"
With that, Elder Lu flung his sleeves and strode out with a dark expression.
"Divine Doctor Lu, where are you going?"
"Where else but to invite my senior brother!"
A few minutes later, Elder Lu returned and said to Shi Menglu and agent Sister Mei, "My senior brother will be here shortly. Please wait here for a moment; I have some matters to attend to."
After speaking, Elder Lu left with a cold face, not giving Shi Menglu or agent Sister Mei any pleasantries.
Shi Menglu stomped her feet in anger and snorted, "Hmph, daring to give me a cold shoulder? Now that I need you, just you wait until my illness is cured, I'll deal with you!"
Agent Sister Mei smiled and said, "That's right, Lulu. Don't lose your temper. Focus on getting treated first, and we'll settle accounts later."
Shi Menglu nodded.
A few more minutes passed, and Elder Lu's so-called senior brother had not yet appeared, making Shi Menglu and agent Sister Mei increasingly anxious.
Just as Shi Menglu was about to lose her temper, the sound of footsteps suddenly echoed from outside.
The footsteps immediately calmed Shi Menglu down.
"They're here, they're here!" Agent Sister Mei cheered.
Shi Menglu's eyes also sparkled with anticipation. She even took two quick steps forward to personally welcome the person, adopting a very humble posture. kanδん
Some people are like this: when they need you, they are polite; when they don't need you, they can't even be bothered to acknowledge you. Shi Menglu was precisely such a person.
Tap, tap, tap...
The crisp footsteps echoed in the corridor, each step seeming to strike Shi Menglu's heart.
They were getting closer and closer.
Finally, a figure walked into the office where Shi Menglu was.
Shi Menglu blurted out, "Divine Doctor, hello..."
Midway through her sentence, Shi Menglu clearly saw the appearance of the person before her and her red lips parted in shock.
"You, you, you..."
"Shi Menglu, we meet again," the person said with a smile.
This person was none other than Chen Xuan!
"Chen Xuan? Why is it you?"
Agent Sister Mei was surprised that the person walking in was Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan was not surprised to see Shi Menglu. After Elder Lu introduced Shi Menglu's condition to him, Chen Xuan had guessed that this patient was Shi Menglu.
Shi Menglu had circled around and found her way back to him; fate truly was a strange thing.
"I am Elder Lu's senior brother!"
Chen Xuan declared forcefully.
Upon hearing this, Shi Menglu and agent Sister Mei's eyes widened as if they would pop out, and the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.
The next moment, Shi Menglu burst into laughter. "Chen Xuan, stop pretending. I think you're just Elder Lu's disciple, and he might not even accept you. How could you possibly be Elder Lu's senior brother?"
"I think he might be here to see Divine Doctor Lu," agent Sister Mei added.
Chen Xuan shook his head slightly.
Chen Xuan's silence further convinced them that their guess was correct!
Shi Menglu said smugly, "Chen Xuan, you said no one could cure the poison on my face. Elder Lu's senior brother can. Once my facial poison is cured, I'll make your life worse than death!"
As she spoke the last sentence, Shi Menglu's tone became fierce.
"You thought it was such a difficult poison, but it's nothing much. Those who brag never end well!"
Agent Sister Mei also put on a show of power, trying to belittle Chen Xuan.
Just then, Elder Lu strode into the office.
Seeing Elder Lu, Shi Menglu's expression lit up, and she quickly walked forward. "Divine Doctor Lu, why hasn't your senior brother arrived yet?"
Hearing this, Elder Lu looked at Shi Menglu in surprise, then turned to Chen Xuan, bowed respectfully, and pointed at Shi Menglu. "Senior brother, this is the patient I mentioned earlier."
Seeing this scene, Shi Menglu felt like she was about to explode!
Chen Xuan was indeed the senior brother Elder Lu had mentioned!
My goodness, how was this possible?
How could this kid be Elder Lu's senior brother, considering his age!
Agent Sister Mei also covered her mouth, her heart trembling.
They were so haughty and looked down on others; how could they understand the principle of "the knowledgeable is the teacher"? Since Chen Xuan refused to accept him as a disciple, Elder Lu could only call Chen Xuan senior brother.
"Elder Lu, I understand."
Chen Xuan nodded faintly, his gaze playful as he looked at Shi Menglu. "Do you agree to my condition?"
Elder Lu was taken aback. Did Chen Xuan know Shi Menglu?
Shi Menglu felt extremely conflicted upon hearing this.
She had searched the entire provincial city but found no doctor who could detoxify her. Now, it seemed Chen Xuan's path was the only one left.
At this moment, Shi Menglu genuinely wanted to agree to Chen Xuan.
"Lulu, you can't agree to him. There are still divine doctors in the capital! And divine doctors in Shanghai, they can definitely detoxify you!"
Agent Sister Mei could not bear to see Shi Menglu's acting career ruined; she was her cash cow.
"That's right, there are still the capital and Shanghai. The divine doctors in those big cities might be able to detoxify me!" Shi Menglu clutched at a life-saving straw.
After speaking, she looked at Chen Xuan. "Chen Xuan, the provincial city may not work, but there's the capital and Shanghai. I refuse to believe that there isn't a divine doctor in the vast land of Xia who can detoxify me!"
"You can try, but you only have one day. If you can't be detoxified by this time tomorrow, you might have to live as an ugly monster for the rest of your life. What a shame, a young lady about to marry into a wealthy family. I wonder if your in-laws will still want you if they know you've become an ugly monster, tsk tsk," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"Hmph! Sister Mei, let's go!"
Shi Menglu showed a hint of fear, snorted delicately, and left Renxin Medical Hall with agent Sister Mei.
Chen Xuan smiled confidently.
This poison was concocted using a lost formula. It was likely that even the entire Xia country would struggle to find a doctor who could resolve it!
