The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 345: Chapter 345 Giving a birthday gift!
“My dear, Huang Xiaolong, this young man, is truly incomparable in excellence, what do you think of him?” Mother Shu eagerly asked Father Shu.

“Indeed, he is excellent, incomparably so, but…” Father Shu said with a look of confidence. “Just at the evening banquet the other day, young Huang Xiaolong demonstrated talents such as his discerning eye for treasure appraisal and sweeping martial prowess, including gunplay that rivals the God of War. Given his connections, both the Lin and Sun families admire him greatly.”

“Yes, my dear, whether it’s his talents or connections, this young man Huang Xiaolong stands out among his peers. In the younger generation of Binhai, at least, there’s no one who can outshine him, right? Even someone as arrogant as Lin Zicong can’t help but yield to him,” Mother Shu commented with great enthusiasm.

“Haha, my dear, you’re not looking at the issue in the right way,” Father Shu smugly responded. “In terms of talents, martial prowess and gunplay are far beyond our reach. Our Shu family has been in business for generations, and our female members often form business-based alliances when choosing their life partners. While Huang Xiaolong indeed has fighting savvy, he doesn’t have the ability to bring about even the slightest benefit to our family in business. His best path would be to join the military, but his character of disregarding everyone and everything would make it hard for him to excel even there! And personally, I do not wish for my daughter to find a husband who is always fighting and killing.”

Father Shu pontificated, “And as for connections, the Lin and Sun families indeed adore Huang Xiaolong. However, since time immemorial, those not of our clan are always regarded with suspicion. The cunning Lin and Sun families would not hold a high opinion of an outsider forever. Once Huang Xiaolong loses his utility, they will surely cast him far away. Simply put, Huang Xiaolong’s family backing is simply too weak!”

“Too weak a family background?” Mother Shu frowned.

“Exactly! This Huang Xiaolong is rumored to come from a peasant family in the mountains! His family background is absolutely pitiful,” Father Shu’s eyes flickered. “No matter how powerful an individual, if he lacks a corresponding family background, he will ultimately have a hard time in society. The hard work of an individual can hardly stand against the riches amassed by a family over generations. In this society, the rules are greater than any individual, and no person, no matter how powerful, can ignore the rules and cut through everything. Huang Xiaolong is too arrogant. Such a person, refusing to abide by the rules, will eventually be ground into dust by the rules.”

Father Shu’s words resonated with Mother Shu, prompting her to nod in agreement.

A rural child who emerged from the mountains, no matter how exceptional, has definite limits to his achievements!

This couple’s understanding of Huang Xiaolong wasn’t deep, which allowed them to freely share their perspectives.

“So, my dear, what are the conditions you’ve set for our Qinghan’s choice in a spouse?” Mother Shu asked.

“Even though my branch of the Shu family isn’t the most valued, a worm will still wriggle even when it’s dead. Therefore, my daughter can’t be married off easily!” Father Shu grinned. “First, the financial and social statuses of the family must match! Regarding family history, the parents should at least hold real power at the departmental level in the government, or be a business family with assets exceeding 5 billion! On the individual ability front, they should either have promising prospects in politics, or be leading a corporation with a net worth of no less than 1 billion!” Father Shu arrogantly declared.

Meanwhile, Huang Xiaolong and Song Yuru were casually sitting around drinking beverages and eating desserts, while a group of rich second-generation heirs and heiresses near them were discussing the hottest topic in Binhai at the moment.

Naturally, the issues they discussed weren’t mundane daily necessities but things relevant to the upper echelons of society.

“Recently, a big incident happened in our Binhai… Do you know that plot of land the Lin family secured in the new district? That piece of land is worth more than a hundred billion, but due to a Feng Shui issue, work has been delayed… Later, the Lin family invited a disciple of the head Feng Shui master from Hong Kong Island to rectify the issue. Can you guess what happened?”

“Stop beating around the bush and just tell us everything at once. What’s the point of keeping us in suspense?”

“Hahaha~~ fine, fine, I’ll tell you. The disciple of the Feng Shui master from Hong Kong Island was defeated by a young master, and had to shamefully return to Hong Kong Island. But the young master effortlessly solved the Feng Shui problem on the Lin family’s plot of land! Reportedly, as a token of gratitude, the Lin family gifted the master with 20 shops!”

“That’s amazing… I wonder who this master is?” A well-off heiress looked lovestruck. “It would be wonderful if I could meet such a master.”

“Heehee~~ a master who even the Lin family venerates, so impressive. Plus, I heard he’s young too. If I could marry the master, I’d be willing to pay a dowry…” Another rich girl’s eyes were filled with affection, as if she was fantasizing about something.

“Stop daydreaming. Someone of that stature isn’t someone we have the right to meet…”

…

“Little Long, these rich boys and girls talk about things that we… we’ve never even heard of. That so-called master… But Little Long, you are definitely better than that master.” Song Yuru gave Huang Xiaolong a warm smile.

“Hahaha~~ A master?” Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but chuckle.

Isn’t the master you’re all honoring and praising me?

Huang Xiaolong hadn’t expected that, a small job he had done for the Lin family had become the talk of the town in Binhai’s high-end social circles.

Pretty soon, all the guests had arrived.

The Shu sisters, Qinghan and Qinglan, also came to the lawn.

A servant pushed out a 20-layer-high cake.

Mother Shu happily announced, “Now, everyone, please sing the birthday song for our birthday girl today! Then, the birthday girl will make a wish, blow out the candles, and cut the cake for us!”

A large group of people surrounded Shu Qinghan like they were guarding a princess, and began to sing the joyful birthday song.

Shu Qinghan pulled her sister Shu Qinglan in front of the cake and said with a laugh, “Sister, let’s make a wish and blow out the candles.”

“Qinghan… Today… today is… is your birthday… I won’t intrude.” Qinglan replied with a sense of inferiority.

“No, no, sister, today is also your birthday! Let’s make a wish together! Come on, let’s make a wish!” Qinghan, holding her sister’s Qinglan’s hand, acted coquettishly.

Shu Qinglan, unable to refuse her sister’s good intentions, mimicked Shu Qinghan, closed her eyes, put her hands together and made her wish.

While Shu Qinghan was making a wish, she suddenly opened her eyes and saw Huang Xiaolong. She blushed and quickly closed her eyes again, mumbling something under her breath.

While making her wish, Shu Qinglan couldn’t hold back her tears. No one knew what wish she had made.

Following the wish, the two sisters blew out the candles.

They cut the cake.

Song Yuru was also invited by Shu Qinghan to join in cutting the cake.

Before long, Father Shu announced, “Now, I would like everyone to personally give Qinghan the birthday gifts you’ve brought!”

Upon this announcement, a hint of competitiveness washed over the faces of all the rich young men and women present. Some looked extremely proud, as if the gifts they were about to give would surely overshadow all the others.

Only the most expensive gifts can showcase their family wealth and status!

None of them was willing to be outdone!
