Chapter 1271: Chapter 1271: Visit from the Yang Family (Triple Update)

In a short while, the people of the He family surrounded a man in his sixties and entered.

“Greetings Patriarch He!” The man bowed to the Old Master He, but his glance quickly darted to Song Xiaodong.

The Old Master He noticed immediately and said, “Nephew Zhenyong, what brings you here today?”

Yang Zhenyong quickly responded, “Patriarch He, I am here to ask Patriarch Song to save someone.”

“Oh?” The Old Master He narrowed his eyes.

Yang Zhenyong sighed, saying, “To be honest, my daughter Yushi suddenly fell ill and has been unconscious for several days. We called upon all the renowned doctors in Beijing, but none have been able to wake her. I heard that the King of Acupuncture is Patriarch Song, so I came boldly to request Patriarch Song to treat my daughter.”

Old Master He was greatly astonished and said, “Yushi? She’s fallen ill?”

“Yes, you should know, Patriarch, that Yushi is crucial to our Yang family, and she is my biological daughter. So, no matter what, I must cure her illness.”

Old Master He glanced at Song Xiaodong and said, “Little Song, what do you think?” and then gave Song Xiaodong a meaningful look.

The Old Master He intentionally made that gesture, which Yang Zhenyong did not miss, and immediately said, “If Patriarch Song can cure my daughter’s illness, our Yang family will definitely help you and the He family negotiate with the Chen family to let things settle peacefully.”

Song Xiaodong stood up with a proud bearing, saying, “Saving lives is the duty of a physician, I would not put forth any conditions for that, besides, the matters I’ve stirred up, why rely on others? Whoever wants to confront me, let them come.”

The He family members initially rejoiced hearing Yang Zhenyong’s words, thinking that with the Yang family’s intervention, the Chen family would have to give face, but who would have thought Song Xiaodong would utter such words now, making them all furrow their brows.

The Old Master He laughed heartily at this moment and said, “Well said, deserving of the Patriarch of the Su Family!”

Yang Zhenyong looked at Song Xiaodong with a gaze full of admiration and said, “Patriarch Song truly has the spirit, when can you come to treat my daughter?”

“Right now, saving lives is like fighting a fire, wait a moment while I go fetch some things.”

With that, Song Xiaodong walked straight out, and He Qingsong hesitated slightly before hurriedly following.

“Little Song, this is a great opportunity. Using the Yang family to press the Chen family, they won’t be too outrageous and you’ll avoid a lot of trouble.”

He Qingsong caught up with Song Xiaodong and said earnestly.

Song Xiaodong did not directly respond to this topic but asked, “Is that Yushi woman very famous?”

He Qingsong immediately replied, “Of course, she is famous. Among the prestigious families in Beijing, there are five young lords and additionally three talented ladies. Yang Yushi is one of them, she is absolutely a genius, especially in the financial sector. Her prowess is renowned, in stocks, futures, every endeavor has led to substantial profit. In merely three years, she has accumulated vast wealth for the Yang family, which values her tremendously. Thus, her illness is of such importance to them.”

Song Xiaodong narrowed his eyes and said, “She’s indeed a formidable woman.”

“The Yang family initially ranked fifth among the prestigious families in Beijing, but due to Yang Yushi’s existence, they jumped to second place. You can imagine how significant Yang Yushi is to the Yang family.”

“In that case, those so-called five young lords, compared to Yang Yushi, fall short indeed.”

“You could say that. Although the five young lords are famous, they haven’t reached the level where they influence their entire family’s development. People in Beijing lament for these three talented ladies; had they been men, their family’s standing would be far superior.”

“Oh, they are to be married off.” Song Xiaodong nodded.

“Yes, and each of these three talented ladies, if a family were to marry one, it would surely be a tremendous asset that would greatly boost the family’s power. Every family is striving to form alliances with these three talented ladies, but how could their families bear to give away such key members?”

Song Xiaodong chuckled lightly and said, “True, what is given away is lost, no family would easily accept that.”

He Qingsong said, “So if you can cure Yang Yushi this time, you’ll establish a close relationship with the Yang family. You could entirely use their power to suppress the Chen family.”

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, “I understand.”

Seeing Song Xiaodong’s seemingly indifferent attitude, He Qingsong furrowed his brows.

After gathering the silver needles and other things, Song Xiaodong came back out and He Qingsong nagged again, but Song Xiaodong remained unenthusiastic, leaving He Qingsong helpless. Even though Song Xiaodong was his son-in-law, the identity of family head meant he lacked genuine authority over Song Xiaodong.

“Alright, let’s go.” Song Xiaodong arrived at the main villa and called to Yang Zhenyong.

“Then I’ll trouble Patriarch Song,” Yang Zhenyong quickly turned to Old Master He and said, “Patriarch He, I will pay a proper visit another day.”

“Go, go, Little Song, make sure to heal that girl Yushi.”

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, “I will do my best.” He then left the He family along with Yang Zhenyong.
