Chapter 170: One hundred sixty-nine, pressure

"I really can’t figure it out, why does Luo Shu receive so much attention from the family head?"

"Exactly, she’s an outsider after all. On what basis?"

"One of these days, I’ll challenge her and show her who’s boss, let’s see if she still has the nerve to act so arrogantly in front of us."

"Shh! Keep your voice down, if the family head overhears us, we’ll be punished."

Whispers and resentful glances swept towards Luo Shu’s direction continuously, yet no one dared to come forward and provoke. After all, Luo Shu’s identity was clear, and Luo Xiuran had already warned them. They didn’t dare do anything under the family head’s watch.

Luo Shu smiled indifferently, walked over, and sat down beside Luo Xiuyi. She saw that his tea cup was only half full, reached for the teapot on the table to fill it up, and also added a few drops of Spiritual Spring.

Seeing Luo Shu’s movement, Luo Xiuyi smiled and said, "Shushu, with your big uncle putting it that way, don’t you feel a lot of pressure?" His daughter had just returned home and his elder brother had already put so much pressure on her; it broke his heart. However, he was still very confident in her abilities.

"No!" Luo Shu laughed and shook her head. Wherever there were people, there would be strife. To win everyone’s respect, she knew it was not enough to talk the talk; she must first make them see her strength, to truly convince them. As for the position of the family head, she wasn’t interested.

Luo Xiuyi picked up his cup and took a sip of tea, "If there’s anything in the future, you tell dad, and dad will carry the burden for you. You do whatever you like, don’t worry too much about family affairs." As long as his daughter was happy, that was more important than anything. As for the family, both his elder brother and he were still young, and if they really had to pass the position to Shushu, it would not be until far in the future.

A warm feeling surged in Luo Shu’s heart. She smiled and nodded, thinking of Lu Hanmo, she said, "Dad, I have something to tell you."

"Hmm!" Luo Xiuyi smiled and looked at Luo Shu.

"I already have someone in mind." Lu Hanmo was the man she intended to marry, and now that she had acknowledged the Second Grandpa as her father, naturally she hoped that Hanmo would gain his approval.

Luo Xiuyi was taken aback for a moment, then asked anxiously, "Tell dad quick, which brazen kid dares to court you at such a young age, I’ll teach him a lesson, that scoundrel!" His daughter had just come home; how could she be snatched away so quickly?

Luo Shu couldn’t help but let out a laugh, "His name is Lu Hanmo, the same young man who came over with the token to seek medical help last time." It was a good thing that in this life, Lu Hanmo’s age was not much different from hers; otherwise, it wouldn’t be so easy to get through this family barrier.

In her previous life, her family had fiercely opposed her being transferred to Lu Hanmo’s side. In the end, it was only after she pestered her grandfather relentlessly that he grudgingly agreed. Unfortunately, Lu Hanmo had never shown that kind of interest in her.

Luo Xiuyi thought for a moment, then immediately remembered that day’s event, but he had only heard about Lu Hanmo from his elder brother and hadn’t met Lu Hanmo in person, "Then in a few days, have that boy come to let dad have a look." He wanted to see for himself what type of person the other party was. His daughter was his treasure, and he couldn’t allow her to be bullied.

"Okay!" Luo Shu nodded with a smile. She wondered what Hanmo was doing right now; she really missed him!

Lu Hanmo stopped in his tracks and looked back at his subordinates who were drenched in sweat and panting heavily, he ordered in a calm voice, "Everyone, stand at attention! Rest for five minutes!"

His subordinates immediately looked as if they’d been granted a great reprieve, sending grateful glances towards Lu Hanmo. The training of these past two days was even more rigorous than before, nearly exhausting all their strength daily.

Lu Hanmo walked in front of the men, his cold gaze sweeping across them, "How do you feel now?"

"Tired!"

"Almost dead!"

"Please show mercy, Instructor!"

"Do you understand the purpose of this training?" Lu Hanmo asked sternly.

"For the mission!" Everyone answered in unison. They had already received the mission briefing from above and knew that on the tenth of next month, they would depart to MD country for a secret mission.

"Wrong! It’s for your lives! Only those who pass this training will be qualified to participate in the mission, otherwise, you’re just going there to die," Lu Hanmo said coldly. The mission was extremely dangerous; these were brothers who had been with him through thick and thin for many years, and of course, he couldn’t just watch them go off to their deaths. This was why he had specially designed this training exercise for them.

"Instructor, we’ll take this training seriously!" Everyone spoke out together.

"Good! Increase the weight by ten kilograms!" Lu Hanmo nodded and commanded.

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, running towards the weight-loading area not far away.

Luo Shu returned to her room, about to enter her space, when she heard a gentle knocking at the window.

Approaching, she opened the window and saw a pretty woman in blue clothes, standing on a ladder outside her window.

"Can I help you?" Luo Shu asked with a slight smile. She recognized this woman; her name was Luo Qi. Luo Qi’s talent was considered good in the family, which is why she was selected as a prime candidate for nurturing by the family. However, Luo Qi’s arrogance and conceit made her quite unlikable to Shu.

Luo Qi produced an envelope and handed it to Luo Shu, "This is for you!"

"What is it?" Luo Shu glanced at the envelope but did not reach out to take it. Without guessing, it was undoubtedly some sort of challenge.

"A challenge letter." Seeing Luo Shu not taking it, Luo Qi placed the envelope on the windowsill, "Tomorrow morning at nine o’clock, I’ll be waiting for you at the Disciple Court!"

Watching Luo Qi’s retreating figure, Luo Shu’s lips curved into a smile as she reached up to close the window. She had guessed this would be the outcome after her grandfather had made those remarks in front of everyone.

Two figures emerged from the darkness.

"Dad, are we putting too much pressure on Luo Shu?" Luo Qianyu asked with a frown. Seeing Luo Shu face such tremendous pressure right after returning to the family, he felt somewhat distressed.

"She’ll be fine." Luo Xiuran said with a confident smile, looking at Luo Qianyu, "Qian Yu, if there comes a day when Luo Shu really becomes the family head, I hope you can give her your full support."

"I will!" Luo Qianyu affirmed, nodding firmly as he looked toward the direction of Luo Shu’s room. If Luo Shu truly wanted to be the family head, he would definitely stand firmly behind her. The speech Luo Shu gave the day before had shown him a vision of the Divine Doctor Family’s future. Perhaps only Luo Shu could lead the Divine Doctor Family to such glory.
