Chapter 303 — The Little Divine Physician

After all, although the Liu family was currently the most influential of the several great clans, that was largely because Old Master Liu Zhenhu was still alive and many people gave them face on his account. Once the old master was gone, the Liu family would surely drop a grade.
After hanging up, Liu Tianyi glared fiercely at his wife. "You nearly ruined something important! Elder Guan has invited a specialist to consult on Father's case — if we hadn't answered this call, could you bear the responsibility?"
"I'll go help Father downstairs right now!" Wu Huiru did not dare say more. Head lowered, she went upstairs. Over this period Liu Tianyi had grown more and more masterful, and Wu Huiru no longer dared to make a scene; she had become docile instead.
"Hmph! Be careful!" Liu Tianyi admonished.
"Chengtian, come help your grandfather Liu downstairs with me!" Wu Huiru shot Wu Chengtian a meaningful look. Old Master Liu was a man of consequence — if he took a liking to Wu Chengtian and put in a word for him with the Sun family, then surely the old man of the Suns could not refuse to show some respect.
Wu Chengtian understood at once and followed his aunt upstairs.
Ten minutes later, Old Master Liu Zhenhu came downstairs supported by Wu Huiru and her nephew Wu Chengtian. Liu Tianyi had long since brought the car around to the villa entrance; once they were in, he drove straight to Guan Xuewen's villa.
When Liu Zhenhu heard that a specialist had come to treat him, his former drowsiness vanished and his heart filled with hope. Even a man past seventy years of age hopes to live a few more years.
It was not that Liu Zhenhu clung to life out of cowardice, but rather that he could not quite let go of the Liu family's descendants.
Mother Liu opened the door for them and invited the Liu family inside the villa. Guan Xuewen and Wei Zhao were waiting on the sofa in the living room, but when Wei Zhao saw Liu Zhenhu, Liu Tianyi, and the others, he visibly started — he had not expected that the patient Guan Xuewen spoke of would be Liu Zhenhu!
Liu Tianyi's family also spotted Wei Zhao on the sofa and were likewise taken aback, yet excitement shone plainly on the faces of both Liu Zhenhu and Liu Tianyi! If Guan Xuewen had found this young divine physician, did that not mean the old man's illness might be cured?
Wu Chengtian's expression, however, was exceedingly grim! He had not expected to run into Wei Zhao here, and still less that Wei Zhao would be sitting together with Dr. Guan, the man treating Grandpa Liu!
He wanted to say something, but held himself back. This was neither the Wu household nor the Liu household, after all, and it was not his place to speak; he could only glare at Wei Zhao with resentment.
"Young divine physician! I never thought I'd see you here — this is wonderful!" Liu Tianyi was rather excited and stepped forward to grasp Wei Zhao's hand! Having heard Guan Xuewen praise Wei Zhao so highly earlier, Liu Tianyi had felt some regret; that day had been far too rushed, and he had failed to get the young man's contact information, a fact that had left him endlessly regretful.
Wei Zhao did not reach out to take Liu Tianyi's hand. Of this whole family, apart from the old man, whose words were at least pleasant to hear, Wei Zhao had not a single good impression of any of them.
