Chapter 424: Revised: Chapter 424 Filled with Joy
Sunx Jingong, newly recovered from a severe illness, although still looking sowhat frail, was in a great mood and smiled at everyone, saying: “Let’s eat!”
Upon hearing this, everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating. Despite the six or seven people dining together, the table was unusually quiet.
Sunx Jingong, being over seventy years old, had a reduced appetite and only ate two stead buns and a bowl of porridge before putting down his utensils.
Seeing that he had finished eating, Sunx Jianjun and others quickly sped up their eating, and in no ti, everyone at the table had finished their al.
Zhang Dadan, although not yet full, seeing that they had already stopped drinking and eating, felt embarrassed to continue and reluctantly put down his chopsticks.
As soon as everyone finished breakfast, Sunx Jingong was about to get up and leave when he heard a burst of joyful laughter.
Looking up and glancing outside the room, he saw his eldest daughter along with her husband and others carrying a large pile of items as they approached the dining room.
“Dad… I’ve co to see you…” A middle-aged woman at the forefront said with a radiant smile.
While speaking, several people had already entered the dining room. The servants, seeing this, quickly pulled out a few more chairs, inviting them to sit down.
“Dad, I heard you fractured your bone a few days ago, are you okay?” A middle-aged man with a receding hairline asked charmingly.
“I’m fine! Almost fully recovered!” Sunx Jingong smiled at him and then instructed everyone to sit down.
Sunx Jian Country, being perceptive, got up and sat aside, allowing his sister to sit next to their father.
“Jianhong, what are you and your husband doing coming all this way? I’m not dead yet!” Sunx Jingong said proudly, yet his eyes were full of joy.
Sunx Jianhong held his arm and pointed to a man behind her, laughing: “Dad, let introduce you, this is Nana’s boyfriend, nad Liu Ce!”
The man nad Liu Ce quickly bowed to Sunx Jingong and asked concernedly: “Did you have surgery for your fracture?”
Before Sunx Jingong could reply, Sunx Jianhong interrupted, boasting: “Dad, Liu Ce is a Ph.D. from Harvard dical School. I specifically brought him over to check your health.”
Harvard University Ph.D.? Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but look up to him a bit, as the na of Harvard University is indeed very prestigious.
The girl standing next to Liu Ce saw her uncles nod in admiration and proudly hugged Liu Ce’s arm.
Seeing this, Sunx Jingong cleared his throat and asked: “Young man, you are a Ph.D. from Harvard? What does your family do?”
Feeling a bit proud, Liu Ce introduced: “Grandpa, my father is in real estate, and my mother works in the * governnt…”
Sunx Jianhong interrupted: “Enough! Dad, don’t investigate, let Liu Ce help you check your health!”
Sunx Jingong waved his hand: “No need…No need…My fracture is almost healed, and other ailnts have also alleviated quite a bit!”
Sunx Jianhong and her husband ca here mainly to promote their future son-in-law. Seeing soone stealing the lilight, naturally, they felt unhappy.
“Dad, your old ailnts haven’t been cured, have they? Our Liu Ce has worked at the Cleveland Clinic, which is ranked first in the U.S. in cardiovascular care and second in rheumatism!” Sunx Jianhong proudly introduced.
Although she sincerely wanted to please her father to help her husband through difficult tis, unfortunately, Sunx Jingong’s situation had improved, making him reluctant to accept their offer.
“Jianhong, I appreciate your kindness! However, my condition is being treated by Divine Doctor Zhang, so there’s no need for Liu Ce to do anything!” Sunx Jingong smiled.
Divine Doctor Zhang? Hearing this, Sunx Jianhong’s face darkened, and she looked around to see a stranger, Zhang Dadan.
“Dad! Is the Divine Doctor you ntioned this young man?” Sunx Jianhong rudely pointed at Zhang Dadan and laughed out loud.
Sitting aside, Sunx Yan, although dissatisfied with Zhang Dadan, disliked her snobbish aunt even more. Seeing her act so disrespectfully, she felt displeased.
“Auntie! Don’t underestimate people! Grandpa’s fracture was cured by Divine Doctor Zhang!” Sunx Yan stood up to defend Zhang Dadan.
Her sudden irrational action puzzled Zhang Dadan. What’s wrong with this girl? Is she really schizophrenic? She is defending !
When Sunx Jianhong married her husband, his family’s business was thriving, but ever since her husband took over, the company has been declining day by day.
To help her husband maintain a facade of glory, Sunx Jianhong tried her best to flatter her father constantly.
Flattering Sunx Jingong was one thing, but she didn’t stop there and kept boasting about herself to elevate her status.
As ti went on, her two elder brothers beca increasingly resentful of her, and even her youngest sister distanced herself from her. Even the younger generation, like Sunx Yan, felt displeased.
Faced with Sunx Yan’s rebuttal, Sunx Jianhong was naturally extrely outraged. How dare such a junior refute ? Do I still have any face left?
“Little Yan, you’re still young, don’t ddle in adult matters, what do you know!” Sunx Jianhong scolded unceremoniously.
Seeing this, Sunx Yan prepared to fight back but was stopped by her father, who sternly said: “Is it your place to speak?”
“Exactly! Second brother knows the rules! But Jian Country, you must take ti to discipline Little Yan well. Otherwise, with her temperant, she might have a hard ti getting married!” Sunx Jianhong mocked.
Sitting at the dining table, Sunx Jingong saw her increasingly over-the-top remarks and angrily said: “Enough! Are you deliberately trying to upset ?”
Hearing this, Sunx Jianhong imdiately dropped her unruly deanor and smiled obediently: “Father, I brought Liu Ce to examine you, please don’t misunderstand !”
A fifty-year-old woman, acting like a twenty-year-old girl, coquettishly ingratiating herself, giving people goosebumps.
Seeing her ntion the matter again, Sunx Jingong reiterated: “Jianhong, I appreciate your kindness! But my condition is already being treated by Divine Doctor Zhang, so there’s no need to trouble Liu Ce!”
Attempting to ‘make a na for himself,’ Liu Ce felt angered by Sunx Jingong repeatedly dodging and refusing his dical treatnt.
I’m a Ph.D. from Harvard, it’s a huge concession that I’m willing to treat you, an old geezer, and yet you still have the audacity to put on airs?
If it wasn’t for your background and marrying your granddaughter, even if you begged on your knees, I wouldn’t even bother.
Although Liu Ce was extrely angry, he smiled and said: “Grandpa, I heard from Aunt that you have cardiovascular issues. My doctorate specializes in internal dicine, I can definitely help you.”
Despite Sunx Jingong appearing to be boisterous, he had a ticulous mind, which is why he could succeed on the ever-changing battlefield.
Liu Ce looked gentle and patient, but he was ambitious and scheming. His granddaughter probably couldn’t control soone like him.
“Young man, my illness has improved quite a bit, there’s no need for you to trouble yourself!” Sunx Jingong replied politely but distantly.
Sitting beside him, Sunx Jianhong, seeing her father persistently refusing Liu Ce’s help, flared up and said:
“Dad, don’t be fooled! This so-called Divine Doctor Zhang is clearly a worldly society con artist. How could he treat any illness?”
The already disgruntled Liu Ce saw his future mother-in-law’s anger and didn’t hold back, challenging Zhang Dadan: “Are you Divine Doctor Zhang?”
