When he took several doses of medicine and went for his routine check-up with Divine Doctor An, he was thoroughly shocked upon hearing about his health from Divine Doctor An. Seeing Divine Doctor An struggling to comprehend the prescription left behind by the young man, lost in deep thought with a distressed look on his face, he became even more aware that this young person was truly an extraordinary Divine Doctor.

There is an order in learning, and expertise requires focus. Some people cannot be judged solely by their age, and he deeply felt this!

Having lived for over seventy years and now in his twilight years, he understood all too well what it meant to have a medical expert of exceptional skill! Moreover, judging by Xiao Yi’s performance, this young person was not simply a Divine Doctor. That demeanor was not something ordinary young people possessed. When he expressed his thanks, the young man didn’t seem to take it to heart at all and even casually wrote down a practical and valuable prescription for him!

Even if he was acting, having such a scheme at such a young age was no simple matter!

So, in that moment, he truly appreciated Xiao Yi from the bottom of his heart, and he also firmly placed Xiao Yi on the list of talents he greatly wished to recruit.

This was also why he was so excited this time, even somewhat losing his composure—he wanted to signal to his sons and grandchildren behind him that this young man was a friend of Han Yuqi, a friend of the Han Family!

"Elder Han is too polite, it was merely a small effort. Although you are in great health now, I still suggest that if you can drink less, you should cut down on alcohol. You may occasionally drink some red wine to relax your muscles and invigorate your circulation," Xiao Yi said.

Xiao Yi’s hands were firmly grasped by Old Man Han, who was expressing his heartfelt gratitude and praise. Xiao Yi’s face showed no sign of smugness or pride; he was unflustered, still bearing a faint smile as he gave his advice.

"Grandfather, did you hear that? You really can’t drink alcohol!"

Han Lu immediately turned her head with a delighted expression upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words and took the old man’s hand, playfully chiding him.

"Haha... I heard, I heard. This girl, you’re stricter than your grandmother used to be."

Elder Han laughed heartily, fondly caressing Han Lu’s hand, and the spoiling look on his face made all the young people nearby jealous. In the entire Han Family, Han Lu was the only one who received such doting from the old man.

Standing to the side, Qian Xiaofeng watched the scene, and a flash of intensity briefly flared in his eyes. He clenched his fists tightly and decided in his heart that no matter what, he had to win Han Lu’s heart and must not let her fall into someone else’s hands!

"Grandfather, I’m doing this for your own good," Han Lu said with a hint of shy reproach on her face, then turned her hopeful gaze to Xiao Yi. "Xiao Yi, are you here to have a meal too? Have you eaten? Let’s eat together?"

"Yes, Brother Xiao, why wait for another day when we can dine today? Please come inside so I can honor you with a toast of gratitude," Elder Han eagerly said to Xiao Yi.

Upon hearing Elder Han and Han Lu extending their invitations, Qian Xiaofeng’s expression changed slightly, and a shadow passed in his eyes.

"No, Elder Han, Miss Han, thank you for your generous invitation. I’ll definitely visit personally when I have the chance, but I’ve already made plans with a friend tonight, so I’m really sorry," Xiao Yi replied apologetically.

He had actually refused Elder Han’s invitation?

The maidservant was dumbfounded.

He actually refused the old man’s invitation?

The faces of everyone standing behind Elder Han also all changed.

Didn’t he know the old man’s status? With the old man’s status, who would ever refuse his invitations?

What friend had he made plans with? What friend could be more important than the old man?

Was he oblivious to the fact that building a good relationship with the old man could fundamentally change his life?

He truly lacked appreciation!

If it wasn’t for the Han Family’s strict discipline and Elder Han’s presence, some of the less composed young people would have already struggled to refrain from reprimanding him.

Qian Xiaofeng alone was the complete opposite of them; upon hearing Xiao Yi’s rejection, Qian Xiaofeng instantly felt a sigh of relief. His gaze swept toward Xiao Yi, and he snorted inwardly. You’re sensible, kid. Otherwise, for a toad like you to even dare dream of swan meat, you would have been dead.

"I see."

Hearing Xiao Yi’s rejection of her invitation again, Han Lu’s disappointment was immediately evident on her face.

"Miss Han, I really did have plans with friends already, otherwise I definitely would have joined everyone for a couple of drinks," Xiao Yi said, his face showing sincere regret as he apologized again.

"Since Brother Xiao has made plans with friends today, I won’t insist," Elder Han said. "I can’t allow you to break a promise. Let’s make plans to drink together some other time."

Han Yuqi had not been refused by Xiao Yi for the first time. The last time, he was directly rejected at Book City. Especially now, knowing that Xiao Yi was indeed a capable Divine Doctor, he might not take the Han Family to heart anymore and wasn’t bothered by it. After pondering for a moment, he did not insist further and smiled. He had learned from his fourth son that Xiao Yi was looking for some ancient medical book, and that Xiao Yi had left his phone number, so he wasn’t worried about not being able to contact him. Had he not been delayed by some matters, he would have invited him over the phone a few days earlier.

"Certainly, certainly!" Xiao Yi laughed and nodded repeatedly.

"Alright, then we’ll make plans for another day. We’ll go inside now. Maid, my friend’s expenses here today should all go on my tab," Han Yuqi said without further ado, bowing towards Xiao Yi and summoning the maidservant to give her instructions before striding inside.

Seeing that her grandfather had walked away, Han Lu reluctantly glanced at Xiao Yi and quickly followed, supporting his arm.

The group of men and women behind hurriedly followed suit. As they passed by Xiao Yi, each cast him meaningful looks. Regardless of their emotions and motives, everyone was deeply impressed by this young man who had refused the old man’s invitation without inciting the slightest sign of anger from him.

After repeatedly agreeing to Elder Han’s request and then respectfully bowing to send Elder Han and his entourage inside, disappearing from sight, the maidservant finally raised her head again and turned to see Xiao Yi standing there with a calm expression. A complex look appeared on her face. She could never have imagined that this unimpressive, thin, beggar-like young man would have any connection with the Han Family. (To be continued.
