My Ares Son-in-Law

The smile that Wang Chongshan had just forced out froze slightly, and then he sighed, waved his hand helplessly, and said: "Okay, Mr. Xiao, since you have made up your mind, I will not force you anymore, just pretend that I didn't say anything just now. However, why don't we talk about another thing..."

As he spoke, he raised his wine glass and looked at Xiao Chen with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Xiao Chen looked calm, as if the invitation to join the family had never happened.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile. He raised his glass and gently clinked it with Wang Chongshan's. The crisp clinking sound was particularly clear in this slightly quiet private room.

Then, Xiao Chen took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "Please go ahead."

His tone was relaxed and casual, as if he was full of curiosity about what Wang Chongshan was going to say next.

Wang Chongshan put down his wine glass, sat up straight, and stared at Xiao Chen like a hawk. His expression became particularly serious and solemn, and he said:

"Mr. Xiao, in this martial arts world, your extraordinary practice skills have long been well-known. But what amazes me even more is that you are also proficient in the mysterious and profound medical skills.

He is so proficient in both literature and martial arts, and can be called an all-round genius that is rarely seen in the martial arts world for a thousand years. To be honest, I came here this time, in addition to the invitation I mentioned before, I also have a favor to ask, I want to ask Mr. Xiao to help treat a patient. "

When saying this, Wang Chongshan's eyes were full of earnestness and expectation, as if Xiao Chen was the only hope that could save the patient from the dire straits.

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He subconsciously put down his wine glass and asked, "Just seeing a doctor?"

In his opinion, it seemed a little unreasonable that Wang Chongshan went to such great lengths to hold a banquet and give gifts just to invite him to see a doctor.

Wang Chongshan nodded heavily and said firmly, "Yes, it's to see a doctor. This patient is very important to my Wang family. Many famous doctors in our Wang family are helpless. I heard that Mr. Xiao is a skilled doctor, so I shamelessly came to ask Mr. Xiao for help."

As he spoke, he bowed slightly to show respect.

Xiao Chen did not refuse outright as he had done before when he refused to join the family.

He frowned slightly and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

After a moment, he asked, "Where is the patient?"

Xiao Chen knew in his heart that curing illnesses and saving lives was a good deed, but it also depended on the specific circumstances. He had to first understand the patient's location and other information before he could make further judgments.

Wang Chongshan was delighted when he saw Xiao Chen wanted to ask. He straightened up and answered quickly:

"The patient is in Tianhai, which has the most advanced and complete treatment environment and all kinds of medical facilities. However, the patient is in a critical condition and very weak, so it is inconvenient to move him. I am afraid that Mr. Xiao will have to go to Tianhai City in person. I wonder if Mr. Xiao has time available?"

As Wang Chongshan spoke, he carefully observed Xiao Chen's expression, afraid of missing any subtle changes.

Wang Chongshan took the initiative to meet Xiao Chen, presented him with precious gifts, and was so warm and thoughtful, but Xiao Chen still didn't feel moved at all.

After all, he has a lot of things on his hands, and each of them is related to the future direction of the martial arts world, which can be said to be of utmost importance. If he is asked to put down the important things in his hands and go to treat people, he really has no time to spare.

What's more, he was not a full-time doctor, and without sufficiently tempting benefits, he would not easily act based on Wang Chongshan's few pleadings.

Seeing Xiao Chen frowning and looking hesitant, Wang Chongshan's heart instantly rose to his throat.

He was extremely anxious, fearing that Xiao Chen would refuse.

So he stood up hurriedly, clasped his hands together, bowed deeply to Xiao Chen, and said anxiously:
"Mr. Xiao, as long as you can cure the patient, you can choose anything from my Wang family's treasure house. Even if it is a treasure that has been passed down for hundreds of years, as long as Mr. Xiao asks, my Wang family will definitely not be stingy! I only ask Mr. Xiao to show mercy and save the patient."

Wang Chongshan's voice trembled slightly, his eyes full of pleading. At this moment, for the sake of the patient, he had put aside his status as the old man of the Wang family and lowered his posture to the lowest level.

Hearing Wang Chongshan's almost pleading words, Xiao Chen raised his head slightly, his eyes lingering on the carved and painted ceiling of the private room for a moment, then he slowly sighed and said:
"I do have some extremely difficult matters to deal with right now. These matters involve a wide range of people and are related to the safety of many people. I really can't delay them. But once I have properly dealt with these matters, I can go to Tianhai City with you.

But let me be frank. With the profound medical background and extensive connections of the Wang family, they must have invited many famous doctors. Since those famous doctors are helpless against this patient's condition, even if I go, I may not be able to bring the patient back to health and cure him."

When Xiao Chen spoke, his expression was serious and sincere. He knew very well that curing illnesses and saving lives was no joke, especially when faced with a disease that even the Wang family found difficult to cure, he had to be even more cautious.

After hearing what Xiao Chen said, Wang Chongshan's tense nerves relaxed a little.

He nodded quickly, his tone full of gratitude and eagerness, and said:
"We understand! Mr. Xiao has given our Wang family a lot of face by agreeing to make this trip. No matter what the final result is, our Wang family will have no complaints and will accept everything. Moreover, even if the patient is not cured in the end, our Wang family will never let Mr. Xiao make this trip in vain and will definitely give him a generous reward."

As Wang Chongshan spoke, he bowed slightly to Xiao Chen again, the earnestness in his eyes becoming more intense.

Xiao Chen thought to himself that charging money for treating illnesses is only natural.

What's more, the trip to Tianhai City is long, time-consuming and laborious. It would be unreasonable if there is no corresponding compensation.

Furthermore, since Wang Chongshan had invited me so sincerely and made such a great promise, if I continued to refuse, it would seem petty.

After thinking about this, Xiao Chen nodded slightly and said, "Okay!"

That short and powerful word was like sealing an important deal.

The two smiled at each other, raised their glasses again, and clinked them lightly. The crisp clinking sound echoed in the private room.

At this moment, Xiao Chen's mind suddenly became clear. He finally understood that Wang Chongshan had taken the initiative to come to him, hosted a banquet, and presented generous gifts. He had gone through such a long process. It turned out that his ultimate purpose was to be impressed by his medical skills.

However, Xiao Chen was not disgusted. In this ever-changing world, making more friends is always beneficial. (End of this chapter)
