Overbearing Immortal Doctor
Chapter 255 - 255 Two Hundred and Fifty-Five It Has to Work Even If It Doesn't

255: Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty-Five: It Has to Work Even If It Doesn’t 255: Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty-Five: It Has to Work Even If It Doesn’t “How long would that take?” Wu Xiaoyu finally asked in compromise.

Hearing this, Mu Zhuangfei’s face instantly brightened, and he said, “It won’t take much of your time.

You just need to set aside one day every Saturday!”

One day a week?

That doesn’t seem too bad.

After all, I’m usually at home with not much to do!

The chicken farm is managed by my cousin, and the sauce factory is handled by my father.

I’m basically just a hands-off boss.

Setting aside one day a week is no big deal!

“Alright then!

I agree…” Wu Xiaoyu replied weakly.

Mu Zhuangfei hurriedly raised his wine glass and said with a smile, “Great!

Let’s toast to Wu Xiaoyu’s deep sense of justice!”

Wu Xiaoyu raised his glass unhappily and drank it all in one go.

If he had known this, he wouldn’t have come just to thank Bai Yun!

Seeing that Wu Xiaoyu had agreed to help him train the special warfare soldiers, Mu Zhuangfei’s smile never faded, and he didn’t put down his wine glass.

The police officer standing by hesitantly stepped forward to advise, “Chief, you’ve drunk quite a lot already.

You shouldn’t drink anymore.”

Just as Mu Zhuangfei was about to raise his glass, his face showed some displeasure at the officer’s advice, but in the end, he put the glass down and smiled at Bai Kainan, saying, “Look, it’s not that I don’t want to accompany you.

It’s just that someone won’t let me!”

Although Mu Zhuangfei held a high position, he was respectful and polite to Bai Kainan, always speaking formally.

This improved Wu Xiaoyu’s impression of him a little.

Seeing that Mu Zhuangfei had put down his wine glass, Bai Yun said to Bai Kainan, “Grandpa, you see, Uncle Mu is much younger than you, yet he drinks with moderation.”

“You should also drink less.

Don’t let your stomach just get better only for you to drink your way to liver disease.

That would be painful!”

Bai Kainan drank the wine in his hand and laughed heartily, “With Xiaoyu around, even the worst illness is just a piece of cake for him!”

His bold words caught Wu Xiaoyu off guard.

Just because I’m a divine doctor, you think you can be careless with your health?

Although I can treat all kinds of illnesses, I’m not a moral emperor who’s going to treat you unconditionally, right?

Did you forget about the million from last time?

Well, to you, that million is probably just a drop in the bucket, insignificant.

Seeing Bai Kainan praise Wu Xiaoyu’s medical skills, Mu Zhuangfei remembered something his father had instructed.

He quickly took a small wooden box from the police officer and handed it to Wu Xiaoyu, saying:

“Last time you helped treat my father, and we haven’t properly thanked you.

This is a piece of ancient jade; consider it your consultation fee.”

Wu Xiaoyu opened the wooden box and saw a nephrite jade pendant inside.

Judging by the style and patina, it seemed to be from the Han Dynasty.

He couldn’t help but praise:

“It’s rare to see ancient jade from the Han Dynasty in such good condition.

If it’s auctioned publicly, it could easily fetch over a million, right?”

His unintentional words surprised the three present.

He knew about jade?

Could he identify its age?

Bai Yun recalled the scene when she first met Wu Xiaoyu, where he immediately identified a fake porcelain.

Could he really have expertise in antiques?

Mu Zhuangfei, surprised by Wu Xiaoyu’s knowledge of the jade’s era, asked, “You have research on ancient jade too?”

Realizing he had shown off too much, Wu Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly and said, “I was just guessing.

Is this really Han Dynasty jade?”

Bai Kainan, having gone through many near-death experiences and battled in the business world for years, could see Wu Xiaoyu was covering it up.

But since Wu Xiaoyu didn’t want to admit it, he didn’t press further and instead helped him cover up, saying:

“These years, TV shows are all about treasure appraisals, making everyone an antique expert!”

Not wanting to reveal too much, Wu Xiaoyu followed Bai Kainan’s lead, saying, “Exactly…

exactly…”

“I’m just like those so-called experts, talking nonsense.

But I can’t believe I actually got it right.

Maybe I can be an appraisal expert someday!”

Mu Zhuangfei found his explanation reasonable and didn’t think much of it.

He laughed and said, “Regardless, this is indeed Han Dynasty jade.

My brother-in-law specially bought it for my father.

Now it’s yours!”

His words were quite heroic, as if the jade was truly priceless.

But to Wu Xiaoyu, this nephrite jade wasn’t that precious.

Knowing there’re so many valuable jade stones soaked in the Spiritual Spring within the Jade Token, this nephrite jade was just an ordinary stone there.

Wu Xiaoyu put the jade pendant back in the box and pushed it aside, saying to Mu Zhuangfei, “Well, I won’t be polite then!”

His calm demeanor made Mu Zhuangfei even more curious.

Wu Xiaoyu was born in a rural area and had only stayed in Guangdong Province for a few months, so he shouldn’t have seen much of the world.

But getting such a valuable jade pendant without a hint of excitement was too unusual.

If he’s pretending to be calm, that’s even scarier.

It looks like I need to find someone to investigate him thoroughly.

After dining for over two hours, the dinner finally ended.

Mu Zhuangfei hurried back and bid farewell to Bai Kainan before leaving with the police officer.

Yet, Wu Xiaoyu had a problem.

The last bus to Huilong River Town had already left; he had to stay in the county for the night.

He originally planned to stay at Zhou Dong’s place, but the slightly drunk Bai Kainan wouldn’t let him leave.

Bai Yun, seeing her grandfather clinging to Wu Xiaoyu, said, “Grandpa, it’s getting late, and he needs to go back.

You can talk to him another day!”

“No…

It’s already dark.

Letting Wu Xiaoyu go back alone, I can’t be at ease…” Bai Kainan said with a flushed face.

Wu Xiaoyu was getting annoyed.

Old man, you’re not at ease?

First, I’m a guy, so no one would want to take advantage of me.

Second, even if I encounter robbers, I’d be the one beating them up.

What are you worried about?

“How about…

I come back tomorrow?

I can’t go back today anyway, so I’ll see you again before going home tomorrow.

How’s that?” Wu Xiaoyu coaxed.

Bai Kainan, still gripping his arm tightly, didn’t allow him to leave.

Bai Yun quickly ordered the butler to take her grandfather to his room.

However, just as the butler came over, Bai Kainan scolded him back.

Wu Xiaoyu felt quite helpless seeing the old man’s sudden tantrum.

“I told you, there’s nothing wrong with you.

Even if you live to be a hundred, that’s no big deal!

Can you let me go?” Wu Xiaoyu had no choice but to plead.

Bai Kainan, seeing his insistence on leaving, said, “Leave?

Why leave?

My villa is so big, can’t it accommodate one more person?

You’re staying here tonight!”

Staying at the Bai Family?

Zhou Dong always said I had something with Bai Yun.

If I stay here tonight, there’s no clearing my name!

“Please let me go…” Wu Xiaoyu pleaded again.

Bai Kainan pretended to be angry and scolded, “Xiaoyu…

Xiaoyu, do you look down on Grandpa Bai?”

“You’re my guest and my savior.

You expect me to let you stay elsewhere?

You’re not going anywhere tonight.

You’ll sleep at my house!”

Bai Yun, seeing her grandfather insist on keeping Wu Xiaoyu, had no choice but to shyly say to Wu Xiaoyu, “Maybe…

it’s better if you stay here tonight.”

To prevent any misunderstanding, Bai Yun quickly explained, “After all…

there are so many vacant rooms at home…”
