By five in the evening, the two finally got out of bed.
Park Soo-hye felt no fatigue at all. Instead, her entire body seemed to be overflowing with youthful vitality.
She swung her arms, twisted her slender waist, and her whole body felt as if it had inexhaustible energy.
However!
The only awkwardness was that her steps were inevitably a little unsteady.
Cheng Xiaofan saw this and couldn't help but laugh, "This delicate and weak appearance is truly adorable!"
Park Soo-hye said shyly, "You're laughing at my ugly appearance!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "I'm not laughing at you!"
The two chatted and laughed for a while.
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Let's go out on the street, I'll treat you to dinner."
Park Soo-hye replied, "Grandpa called me this morning and wants us to have dinner at his place."
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "Great, then let's go over a bit earlier. Dinner shouldn't take too long. I have something to attend to tonight!"
Park Soo-hye said, "Okay, let's go to Grandpa's now!"
The two immediately walked out of the guesthouse.
Cheng Xiaofan got into Park Soo-hye's car, and they drove towards the Park family villa complex.
Upon arriving at the Park family ancestral hall, Park Soo-hye parked the car.
As Cheng Xiaofan and Park Soo-hye walked in, they noticed that the portrait of the Park family ancestor, which was originally hung in the center of the hall, had been replaced.
What hung there instead was a portrait of the famous Chinese physician Zhu Danxi.
Zhu Danxi was from the Yuan Dynasty, his courtesy name was Yansiu, and his given name was Zhenheng. He was from Yiwu, Zhejiang, and was a renowned physician of that era.
His hometown, Yiwu, had a small stream called Danxi, hence he was known as Danxi Weng (Elder Danxi) by people of his time.
Over time, people became accustomed to calling him Zhu Danxi.
Zhu Danxi was not only a highly skilled physician but also upright, noble in character, and intensely hated evil. During his time, he was also known as "Zhu Yixia" (Zhu the Physician-Knight).
Throughout his life, Zhu Danxi left behind medical treatises such as "Gezhi Yulun," "Jufang Fahui," "Shanghan Lunbian," and "Danxi Xinfa."
As Cheng Xiaofan and Park Soo-hye were examining the portrait, Park Taiyu happened to walk out from the back hall.
Upon seeing them, he greeted them with a beaming smile, "Mr. Cheng, Soo-hye, you're both here!"
Cheng Xiaofan replied with a smile, "Yes, we just arrived!"
Park Soo-hye pointed to the newly hung portrait and asked curiously, "Grandpa, why did you replace the portrait of our Park family ancestor?"
Park Taiyu's expression turned serious upon hearing this, "Soo-hye, I'll tell you the truth, this Zhu Danxi is precisely our Park family ancestor!"
Park Soo-hye was slightly taken aback, her face filled with surprise, "Grandpa, as far as I know, Zhu Danxi was a famous divine physician from China's Yuan Dynasty."
"How did he become our Park family ancestor?"
Park Taiyu explained, "Child, you don't know this, but our Park clan's ancestor was Chinese. The blood of China flows within us Park family members."
"Zhu Danxi is our true ancestor."
"At that time, our Zhu family was prosperous and famous, which incurred the jealousy of some of the Yuan Dynasty rulers. They fabricated a charge of rebellion against the Zhu family, intending to eradicate our lineage."
"Fortunately, there were good people in the court who tipped us off in advance."
"We were forced to flee Yiwu and leave China overnight, changing our names and settling down here."
Speaking of which, Park Taiyu smiled, "Now that Park Pharmaceuticals Group belongs to Mr. Cheng, I don't feel sad at all; instead, I'm quite happy."
"After all, we are all Chinese, so what is there to regret?"
"Taking this opportunity, I have also brought out Zhu Danxi's portrait,"
"To prove that our ancestors came from China, and that we, the Park clan, are actually true Chinese!"
"Soo-hye, when I brought out Zhu Danxi's portrait this morning, I had already gathered the main elders of the clan to offer incense and pay respects here."
"Considering you are busy with many things, I didn't call you."
"Now, you should offer a stick of incense to our ancestor!"
Park Taiyu immediately took some incense, lit it, and handed it to Park Soo-hye.
Park Soo-hye took the incense from her grandfather and immediately bowed.
She said, "Ancestor above, your unworthy descendant Park Soo-hye offers you incense!"
She bowed three times towards Zhu Danxi's portrait.
Then, she inserted the incense into the censer.
Cheng Xiaofan never expected that the Park clan were actually descendants of the renowned Yuan Dynasty physician Zhu Danxi.
After all, Zhu Danxi was a famous physician of the Yuan Dynasty!
Since he was here, it wouldn't be appropriate to be too casual. He immediately took some incense, lit it, bowed three times towards Zhu Danxi's portrait, and inserted the incense there.
Park Taiyu watched this and beamed with joy.
Cheng Xiaofan offering incense to Zhu Danxi showed that he no longer treated the Park family as outsiders.
He bowed to Cheng Xiaofan and said, "Mr. Cheng, thank you very much!"
Park Soo-hye asked Park Taiyu, "Grandpa, is dinner ready?"
"Mr. Cheng has something to attend to after dinner!"
Cheng Xiaofan quickly smiled and said, "Soo-hye, my matter is not too urgent. It won't matter much if it's a little later."
He had expected that there would be many people when he came here for dinner.
The meal would likely drag on until late at night.
Seeing that there were no other people here now, Cheng Xiaofan was no longer in a hurry.
The place he needed to go tonight was back to the capital of China to deal with Fu Yanming.
Since he had the Sky-Shattering Eagle as his flying mount, he could get there in the blink of an eye, so there was no need to rush.
Park Taiyu smiled and said, "The food has been prepared."
"There is no one else here but the three of us. Please don't mind, Mr. Cheng, let's have a simple home-cooked meal!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily and said, "Elder, this is the best way."
"I dislike liveliness the most; simplicity is best!"
The three of them went to the back hall.
Park Taiyu instructed the maid, "Xiao Chang, please bring out the food and wine!"
Although it was called a home-cooked meal, ten large platters of dishes were served on the table.
The dishes were rich and varied, all authentic Chinese cuisine.
"Mr. Cheng, please have a seat!"
Park Taiyu brought out a bottle of wine and smiled, "I'm different from some others in the clan; I've eaten Chinese food for years."
"This wine is also produced in China."
Cheng Xiaofan glanced at the bottle of wine, which was Thousand Day Drunk.
He couldn't help but smile, "This wine was developed by a friend of mine. His name is Tu Biao, and I call him Tu the Madman."
Park Taiyu smiled, "Mr. Cheng, I specifically asked someone to buy it from him."
"The wine he produces is truly delicious!"
He then turned to his granddaughter and said, "Soo-hye, you should have a couple of drinks with Mr. Cheng tonight as well."
Park Soo-hye quickly smiled, "Grandpa, I can't drink tonight."
"When Mr. Cheng has something to attend to, I need to drive him!"
Cheng Xiaofan heard this and smiled, "Miss Park, you won't be able to drive me to the place I'm going tonight. I don't need you to drive me."
"Just drink up!"
Park Soo-hye asked curiously, "Mr. Cheng, where are you going tonight?"
"Why can't I drive you?"
