Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

At this moment, Li Beichen spoke first to explain: "Aunt Lin, Mo Hanzhou is the current head of the Mo Group. In terms of family wealth and power, the Mo family's overall strength is slightly superior to our Li family. The fact that the Li family was able to successfully finalize the cooperation with the Mo family this time is all thanks to Jing Shu. She deserves the most credit."

Upon hearing of the Mo family's formidable resources, Lin Wanqing was filled with disbelief. In her mind, Jing Shu was just a young girl; how could she possibly have the ability to secure a partnership with a top-tier wealthy family?

"With the Mo family's power being so formidable, why would they give Jing Shu face? It must be because you, Bei Chen, are exceptionally capable and negotiated this cooperation based on your own strength."

These unconsciously demeaning words towards their daughter caused the three members of the Li family at the table to pale, their hearts filled with displeasure.

Li Wenqian sighed inwardly. He had clearly told Lin Wanqing about Jing Shu's abilities before, but she hadn't taken it to heart at all. Oh well, there was no point in saying more. Once she saw it with her own eyes, she would naturally understand just how extraordinary this seemingly ordinary daughter of hers truly was.

The car drove smoothly, with Mo Hanzhou and Shen Jingshu sitting side by side in the back seat. The driver was his trusted confidant, whom he had personally promoted. The car was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Shen Jingshu was naturally reserved and rarely spoke to people she didn't know well; Mo Hanzhou was also calm and introverted and didn't like to strike up conversations. The two of them leaned against their respective car windows and remained silent the whole way.

As the car drove further in, the scenery gradually became familiar. Shen Jingshu frowned slightly, a hint of doubt creeping into her heart. This area looked exactly like the neighborhood where Old Master Lu lived. Lu Jingxing had driven her here several times before, and the routes were completely identical.

Before long, the vehicle came to a smooth stop in front of an old-fashioned courtyard house. Shen Jingshu got out of the car and looked around. Sure enough, this place was in the same courtyard complex as the Lu family's old residence. It seemed that the older generation preferred this kind of quiet and elegant Chinese courtyard.

Mo Hanzhou stepped out of the car first, turned to the side and raised his hand in a respectful gesture of invitation, leading her into the courtyard. The layout of the courtyard was very similar to that of the Lu family's old residence, with pavilions scattered among flowers and trees, exuding a strong sense of antiquity.

He led the way, taking Shen Jingshu directly to the central reception room. Old Master Mo sat in the main seat, and upon seeing Shen Jingshu enter, he immediately stood up with a beaming smile, speaking in a familiar and affectionate tone. An outsider who didn't know the situation might have thought she was Mo's granddaughter.

Throughout the entire process, the old man didn't even spare a glance for Mo Hanzhou beside him; his eyes were only on Shen Jingshu.

"Jing Shu, you've finally arrived! Don't be shy. If you don't mind, you can just call me Grandpa Mo from now on."

Shen Jingshu, always frank and unpretentious, softly called out, "Grandpa Mo."

"Oh, good child, sit down quickly."

Shen Jingshu sat down next to the old man and gestured for him to extend his wrist: "Let me take your pulse first."

She gently placed her fingertips on the old woman's wrist, carefully sensing her pulse. After a moment, she slowly nodded. Compared to the time she suddenly fainted in the antique street, her pulse was now steady and smooth, and she seemed much stronger.

"Your pulse has improved a lot, which shows that you have been taking the herbal medicine I prescribed on time. Today we will begin the first phase of acupuncture treatment. I need a clean, quiet room where you will not be disturbed."

"That's easy, just go to my bedroom, it's the quietest place there."

"it is good."

The group got up and moved to the old man's bedroom. Shen Jingshu gestured for the old man to lie down on the bed, and then turned to instruct Mo Hanzhou to help loosen the old man's clothes to make it easier to administer acupuncture.

After everything was prepared, Shen Jingshu dismissed all the servants and left only Old Master Mo and Mo Hanzhou in the room. She looked up at Mo Hanzhou, her eyes filled with seriousness.

Mo Hanzhou instantly understood her intention and took the initiative to promise, "I will stay by your side and not say a word the whole time. I will not interfere with your acupuncture treatment."

"Let me make it clear to you beforehand: acupuncture cannot tolerate the slightest mistake. If you are disturbed during the procedure and the needle is inserted at the slightest deviation, all the previous treatment will be in vain."

"I understand." Mo Hanzhou nodded, consciously retreating to the corner of the wall, standing quietly and observing.

Shen Jingshu opened her bag and took out a set of Xuanmen gold needles of varying lengths. She neatly laid them out on the bedside table and wiped them one by one with strong liquor to disinfect them, her movements steady and efficient.

Once prepared, she raised her hand and inserted the needle with swift, light touch, the force perfectly controlled. Old Master Mo barely felt any pain, only a tingling, warm sensation spreading along the needle's tip, coursing through his limbs and bones.

In the blink of an eye, all nine golden needles were inserted into acupoints all over the body, at varying depths and with perfect precision.

After all the needles were inserted, Shen Jingshu extended her fingertip and gently flicked the end of the outermost gold needle.

The next second, a miraculous scene suddenly appeared: the nine gold needles inserted into the old man's body began to vibrate at a uniform speed, and a faint hum echoed gently in the quiet bedroom.

A faint wisp of white spiritual energy flowed slowly into Old Master Mo's body through the trembling golden needles. The turbid energy that had accumulated in his meridians for many years was gradually expelled. The old man's originally tense and withered face gradually regained its warm and rosy color, and his brows, which had been furrowed for many years, quietly relaxed.

The medicinal effects accumulated from the medicine he had just taken were fully released and circulated throughout his internal organs with the help of spiritual energy. With his eyes closed, Old Master Mo felt warm all over. His long-standing ailments of chest tightness and numbness in his legs seemed to have disappeared almost instantly, and he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of comfort.

Mo Hanzhou, standing to the side, kept his gaze fixed on Shen Jingshu, his eyes filled with undisguised shock. He had seen countless renowned doctors and physicians, but none had ever performed acupuncture with such miraculous skill. By simply flicking her fingers to move the golden needles and mobilizing the internal energy, the girl before him possessed abilities far beyond ordinary comprehension.

About fifteen minutes later, Shen Jingshu raised her hand, her fingertips deftly moving, twisting and removing the needles in order from light to dark. She put all nine gold needles back into her cloth bag, the whole set of movements flowing smoothly without the slightest hesitation.

After putting away the last gold needle, she said calmly, "The first round of acupuncture is over for today. Most of the turbidity has been dissipated. You still need to take your medicine on time. I will come back for the second acupuncture in three days. During this period, avoid greasy and nourishing foods, go to bed early and rest quietly, and avoid extreme emotional fluctuations."

Grandpa Mo slowly sat up, feeling as light as if he had become more than ten years younger. He laughed and said repeatedly, "Good, good, good, I'll listen to you. Girl, your skills are simply amazing! I feel so much better now, and my old ailments have lessened by more than a little bit."

Mo Hanzhou stepped forward, handed a glass of warm water to the old man, and turned to Shen Jingshu, saying sincerely and respectfully, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Shen."

Before he could finish speaking, the butler knocked lightly on the door and whispered that lunch was ready. Old Master Mo immediately grabbed Shen Jingshu's wrist, insisting that she stay for lunch at his house, saying he absolutely had to treat his savior well.
