expected that Doctor Xiao would actually solve the problem with the ghost. Zhang Tianshi and Li Dashi had been unable to handle it either; they resorted to setting up an array of talismans, but now e...Chapter 255 Family Dinner

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "The disease in his stomach shouldn’t cause much damage to his body. Even if it does, it should be within the range of what his body can handle. Otherwise, when surgery is required, even after the operation, other organs of his body would have been affected too. But right now, there are no problems with any other organs in his body!"

"Oh!" Xiao Hongyang nodded in realization.

He had never considered this aspect and directly assumed that he only needed to prescribe medicine to nourish the stomach after taking the pulse.

Thinking of this, admiration flashed across his eyes as he looked at Xiao Yu. The quality of a doctor is often reflected in such details.

Only then did he start to believe what his father had said—that Xiao Yu's medical skills were on par with his own.

The two of them walked and talked while they went, learning through their conversation that the Ye family had never heard about using the Life-Saving Five Elements Acupuncture separately.

‘Could this be an original creation by my grandfather based on Xiao Family’s Life-Saving Five Elements Acupuncture’ Xiao Yu thought secretly as he rode in the elevator.

When they reached the top floor, Xiao Jianying and Old Ye had already been waiting for them to have dinner. As it was a family gathering, and since Xiao Yu didn’t want to cause too much trouble for Fang Yuan’s group, when the waiters brought the food over, Xiao Jianying sent them away so that everyone could serve themselves. This way, they felt more like a family.

When Xiao Yu entered, Xiao Yu and Yun Xi hurriedly stood up from their seats to get him some rice.

White Jing saw the others stand up but immediately got up before them, picking up chopsticks to serve herself. Even while serving herself, she had a smile on her face.

At first, she wasn’t willing for Xiao Hongyang to stay here, but after seeing today's scene during the opening ceremony, she was deeply shocked by it.

Morning visitors were mostly unknown to her, but she knew Li Hanbo. The fact that Li Hanbo is their Health Department Minister’s son was known to people in his department because he had worked there for several years even though he wasn’t in the same section as her and often skipped work.

As a minister's son, everyone would investigate him through various channels to avoid accidentally offending him, which could be catastrophic for them.

But today's scene left her speechless. The honorable Minister’s son was actually running errands for others and even seemed very happy doing it.

Especially during the mealtime when she learned that the middle-aged man who came last was the Secretary of the Municipal Committee in the megacity of Deep Sea, a Deputy-Minister level official personally attending the opening ceremony of this little clinic and staying for dinner.

This made her take Xiao Yu seriously. This person must have a significant background; although her father-in-law said that Xiao Yu was just an ordinary person, could an ordinary person possess such power

Isn't there a saying: To understand someone, look at their friends Today, seeing the市委書記 (city party secretary) and部長公子 (minister's son), who were all respectful to Xiao Yu, she realized that his acquaintances were not ordinary. This also indicated that Xiao Yu himself was extraordinary.

Both Elder Yue and Xiao Hongyang knew that Xiao Yu was extraordinary, but they didn't have as many thoughts about it. In Elder Yue's mind, the more extraordinary Xiao Yu was, the better. In this society, without connections, you would eventually be devoured, so how could one promote Wan Sheng Hall

Xiao Hongyang was excited; his excitement stemmed from both Xiao Yu's medical skills and his relationships. As a member of the Xiao family now, Xiao Yu’s relationships were also his. The more relationships Xiao Yu had, the brighter his future would be.

With efforts from Xiao Yu, Yun Xi, and Bai Jing, they prepared the meal. The Xiao and Yue families, who have been connected for nearly a century, reunited after being separated for over half a century. Though their elders were no longer around, it did not affect their joy at this moment.

The dinner lasted close to two hours during which they discussed many topics; moreover, Xiao Hongyang also spoke about the patient whose stomach was removed that day.

Upon hearing Xiao Hongyang's account, all members of the Xiao family admired Xiao Yu’s medical skills. Even Xiao Jianying, who had inherited some medical knowledge from her family and practiced medicine for many years, would not have thought as deeply as him.

In terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), women might be less suited by nature; throughout history, female TCM doctors are rare, let alone those proficient in it.

Especially when Xiao Hongyang mentioned using the Lifespan Restoring Five Elements Acupuncture separately, Elder Yue was astonished. He never imagined that this technique could be used independently.

In the past, Elder Yue's father had long studied the Lifespan Restoring Five Elements Acupuncture in hope of discovering Tremor Needle Technique methods; however, he did not consider using them individually.

This might also explain why his father couldn't master 'Tremor Needling.' Many Xiao family acupuncture techniques were based on tremor needles, which is why tremor needle technique could become the core secret art of the Xiao family.

When the disaster struck their family years ago, Elder Yue's father was in his twenties and had been adopted at around fifteen. Even then, he only learned the Lifespan Restoring Needle Technique; it wasn't until he turned forty that he was taught tremor needle techniques.

In those days, to transmit tremor needle technique, a family temple ceremony must be held with the patriarch presiding over it personally. After mastering this skill, one had to fully become a member of the Xiao family and not start another branch.

Xiao Yu was now the head of the Xiao family, and there were no other men in the clan, so holding such a ceremony lost its significance. Moreover, after more than half a century, the Yue family still thought about the Xiao family, proving their sincerity—this is why his maternal grandfather wrote in his letter that Xiao Yu could impart tremor needle technique to the Yue family.

Xiao Yu, Xiao Hongyang, and Elder Yue chatted for over two hours before finishing dinner.

"Junior Brother, if I didn't have a bunch of things in Beijing to take care of, I would really want to stay longer!

Sr. Yue looked at Xiao Yu with a hint of reluctance in his eyes. For someone who had spent their entire life practicing medicine, nothing was more attractive to him than an acupuncture technique that he had never heard of before.

"Hahaha… Brother, when can I learn this needle technique as well!"

Upon hearing what Sr. Yue said, Xiao Yu chuckled and replied. He understood very well what a new medical skill or needle technique meant to people like them who had dedicated their lives to traditional Chinese medicine, especially in the current situation where TCM was declining.

"Hahaha… I’m being overly sentimental!" Sr. Yue burst out laughing upon hearing this.

After saying that, he went back to his room. Bai Jing and Xiao Hongyang also returned to their own rooms. Bai Jing had not yet processed all the events of today; she wanted to find someone with whom she could share her excitement.

Xiao Yu's family saw them off to their rooms before returning themselves.

As Mi Jianying and his group were leaving tomorrow, they returned to their respective rooms after seeing everyone in. Xiao Yu knew that his mother had a lot of instructions for him.

In the room, Mi Jianying and Xiao Yu were sitting on the sofa in the living room chatting when Xiao Yu’s sister entered.

"Sis, is Hanghang asleep"

Xiao Yu asked his sister upon seeing her enter. While having dinner earlier, Xiao Yu had noticed that his little nephew was constantly nodding off, so he knew that the child must have fallen asleep when he saw his sister entering alone.

"Yes, he’s sleeping. He usually takes a nap during the day, but today with all the commotion and guests around, he didn’t sleep much earlier. It was high time for him to go to bed."

Xiao Yu's sister replied in affirmation before going over to Mi Jianying and hugging her mother’s arm.

"You’re such a grown-up now with your kid already walking, but you still act like a little child!"

Mi Jianying patted Xiao Yu's sister on the head affectionately upon seeing how she acted, smiling indulgently.

Despite Mi Jianying’s usually strict demeanor towards Xiao Yu and his sister, her love for them was no less. They were her spiritual support, and it was because of their existence that she continued to live until now.

Now that everything had been said, the heavy burden on her mind seemed lifted, which made her personality a lot gentler as well.

"Mom, this is so great!"

Sensing her mother's doting affection, Xiao Yu's eyes welled up with tears as she burrowed deeper into her mother's embrace.

"Ah... It's mom who's sorry to both of you! Making you carry a lot since your childhood!"

Feeling his daughter's emotions, Xiao Jianying stroked Xiao Yu's head and sighed with sadness and guilt towards his children.

"Mom, we don't blame you. If anyone is to be blamed, it should be the Wang family!" Upon hearing her mother’s words, Xiao Yu said while getting up.

"Mom, rest assured! I will definitely go to the Wang family for justice!" Xiao Yu also chimed in.

"Ah... Mom doesn't want you two living with hatred towards the Wang family. Because unlike your father, even if it's hate, I hope you don’t forget about your father. But as for the Wang family Yuyue, you decide on that! However, the fact is, the Wang family took care of your father for over twenty years. Without them, your father might have died long ago!"

After hearing her son and daughter's words, Xiao Jianying sighed softly.

Towards the Wang family, no one hated them more than Xiao Jianying did, but they had taken care of Zhao Lingyun for over twenty years, so he didn't want his son to be blinded by hate.

The trio ceased discussing this topic and sat there listening as Xiao Jianying recounted various amusing anecdotes from her college days.

Sitting beside them, Xiao Yu watched his mother and sister with a warm feeling in his heart. This was his family, the people he would protect with his life. No one would be allowed to disrupt his home, even if it meant being at odds with the entire world.

"Oh right, Mom, since my younger brother is getting engaged during the New Year, when are you planning on setting a date for their wedding" Xiao Yu suddenly sat up and asked his mother with a smile directed towards Xiao Yu.

"Well... That's up to them. Haha... By then, Yunxi’s mom might even be more anxious than us!"

Xiao Jianying chuckled softly. Although Xiao Yu was no longer young, Yunxi was equally unprepared for the engagement, and if not for Yunxi’s mother bringing it up, she wouldn't have thought about it herself! for Song Hushan's phone call, he wouldn't have known that Xiao Yu was actually based here.Moreover, Shenzhen is under his jurisdiction within Guang Province. If something were to happen to Xiao Yu he...
