The matriarch has returned; that spendthrift son is truly daring!

Jiang Qianyun felt an immense sense of shame and mockery wash over her.

Overwhelming.

Lost face.

Dignity was gradually crushed amidst the gasps of the crowd.

Huo's parents were shocked and looked at Huo Xiaoyu in disbelief. She was actually Master Jing's apprentice.

Why have I never heard this girl mention it before? She really knows how to keep secrets.

Huo Xiaoyu slowly walked forward and called out, "Master."

Huo Sijing completely broke down and denied it directly: "How is this possible? This is impossible! Huo Xiaoyu, how could you be Master Jing's disciple? Your grades are always at the bottom and your reputation is so bad. How could you possibly be accepted as a disciple by Master Jing? This is absolutely impossible."

Huo Sijing's words displeased her parents. "Sijing, what are you saying? Didn't you hear what Master Jing said? She accepts disciples based on fate."

Jing Yuan: "Haha, yes, don't let her mischievous nature fool you, she's very hardworking in medicine."

Jiang Fusheng had a premonition that Jiang Qianyun might be angry when Huo Xiaoyu stepped forward, and he was waiting for her to go downstairs to stop her.

Jiang Qianyun then slapped Huo Xiaoyu hard.

The loud "smack!" stunned everyone.

Huo Xiaoyu's face turned to the side after being slapped. This time, she would not choose to tolerate or back down, and she reached out and slapped her back.

With a "smack!", Jiang Qianyun's eyes widened, filled with shock and anger. Huo Xiaoyu, that bitch.

"Huo Xiaoyu, how dare you hit me!"

Huo Xiaoyu: "Jiang Qianyun, I've never heard of the saying 'an eye for an eye.'"

"You!" Jiang Qianyun turned her gaze to Jing Yuan and shouted, "I'm not convinced! Master Jing, you are a highly respected medical teacher, why did you take her as your apprentice? She's clearly so bad."

Jiang Qianyun could not accept, nor would she accept, this outcome. She had never taken Huo Xiaoyu seriously; in her eyes, Huo Xiaoyu was an utterly terrible person.

She didn't even have a chance to compete with herself, so how could she become Master Jing's apprentice?

Mrs. Huo was extremely satisfied with Jiang Qianyun, her future daughter-in-law, but her behavior today disappointed and surprised her; she never expected Jiang Qianyun to have such a fierce and aggressive side.

She stood up to defend her daughter, saying, "Jiang Qianyun, I just said that Master Jing doesn't look at talent when accepting disciples, he only looks at fate. I know you are very talented, but my daughter is already Master Jing's disciple, that's an undeniable fact. What right do you have to hit her?"

Jiang Qianyun looked at Huo's mother in front of her. She used to fawn over her, but now her true nature was exposed. Sure enough, there wasn't a single good person in the Huo family.

"Just because your daughter isn't good enough, what did Huo Xiaoyu give you? She grew up in the mud in the countryside, and she hasn't even gone to school since she was a teenager. Who knows if she was abused by someone else in the countryside?"

"Shut up!" Jiang Fusheng shouted before he could finish speaking.

Jiang Qianyun clenched her fists, her eyes filled with resentment. She had idolized Master Jing since she was a child, and everyone thought she would definitely become Master Jing's apprentice and become the center of attention. But now everything had been ruined by Huo Xiaoyu.

Jiang Fusheng looked guilty. "Auntie, Xiaoyu is really sorry. My sister is being unreasonable. I apologize to you and hope you won't hold it against her. She's been having some mental issues lately."

Jiang Qianyun roared, "Jiang Fusheng! Why are you apologizing? I didn't do anything wrong. It's only right that I question you. Who knows if Huo Xiaoyu used some means to win Elder Jing's favor? I..."

"Slap!" Jiang Fusheng slapped her across the face.

Jiang Qianyun froze, covered her face, and looked at him in disbelief.

"Jiang Fusheng! You hit me! You actually hit me for that bitch Huo Xiaoyu!"

Huo Linyu shielded Huo Xiaoyu behind him, frowned, his expression serious, and his tone cold.

“Miss Jiang, tonight is my sister’s birthday. You have insulted my sister. Please apologize to her. Also, my Huo family is too small to accommodate someone as important as you. Please leave.”

Huo Linyu's words were tantamount to kicking Jiang Qianyun out. Jiang Qianyun's face turned ashen, and she cursed, "Huo Linyu! Do you think I care about coming to your Huo family? Let me tell you, Huo Linyu! From now on, even if you beg me, I will not step into the Huo family. I want to break off the engagement with you. You are a cripple. I want to see if you will become a laughing stock in the capital after breaking off the engagement with me."

Huo Xiaoyu was furious. "Jiang Qianyun, do you dare say that to my brother? Do you believe I'll beat you to death? Who cares about a marriage contract with you? You're not good enough for my brother at all."

Jiang Qianyun sneered, "Heh, your Huo family really knows how to deceive yourselves. When you were begging me not to cancel the engagement, your faces were disgusting. Huo Linyu, do you really think you're still the pride of heaven? You'll never stand up again! Remember this, you're not good enough for me. I, Jiang Qianyun, look down on you."

Jiang Qianyun spoke with great conviction, her face ugly, as if she had long forgotten that she was the one who used to shamelessly chase after others.

Huo Linyu remained expressionless, but his hands slowly clenched into fists. He was already used to being humiliated, wasn't he?

"Ah!" Before Jiang Qianyun could even feel smug for two seconds, she was sent flying and crashed to the ground.

Song Shuyue casually brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. Some people are impossible to reason with; fists are always stronger than words, that's a fact.

"Noisy."

Jiang Qianyun felt as if her internal organs had been displaced by that kick, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up. All the humiliation surged towards her like a tidal wave once again.

Song Shuyue!

"Song Shuyue! You bitch, how dare you hit me?"

Song Shuyue: "Just hit me, why all this nonsense? Jiang Qianyun, sometimes I really think you're not even as good as a dog. At least a dog is a human's friend and is loyal to its owner, but you wear a human skin and stand on the moral high ground, thinking you're the judge of right and wrong, and that everyone is groveling at your feet. But you've never thought that your morality is even worse than a dog's."

"you!"

Jiang Qianyun gritted her teeth, hating Song Shuyue with all her might. She wished she could tear this vile woman apart and devour her alive.

Song Shuyue! I will make sure you die, I promise!

Jiang Qianyun calmed down, slowly stood up, and walked towards them step by step.

“Song Shuyue, what right do you have to talk to me like that? Isn’t what I’m saying true? Huo Linyu’s legs are ruined. He’s a complete cripple. He’ll never be able to stand up again. Aren’t you always so eager to stand up for the underdog? If you have the guts, then make him stand up! If you can make him stand up, I’ll kowtow to him, admit my mistakes, and shout that I’m not good enough for him.”

Jiang Qianyun realized that she was too emotional and had been blinded by anger. She should calm down and return the conflict to them.

Song Shuyue smiled and said, "Alright! I like to gamble, but I don't like to gamble without stakes. Jiang Qianyun, don't you claim to be the most outstanding student at the Jingyi Traditional Chinese Medicine Academy? Then I'll give you a good slap in the face. If I can make Huo Linyu stand up, how about I take your Jiang family's board seat at the Jingyi Traditional Chinese Medicine Academy?"

The Jiang family is a century-old family of doctors, and the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine College can be said to be under the jurisdiction of their family.

Every year, outstanding students would also be recruited by the Jiang family, and gradually the Jiang family monopolized all the outstanding medical students in Beijing.

Its technology patents are far ahead of the competition.

Jiang Qianyun agreed without hesitation, “Okay! Song Shuyue, I want to see what you’re capable of. Since it’s a bet, if you lose, I want you to take off your clothes and stand in the street for three days and three nights.”

Jiang Qianyun's bet was despicable. For a girl, being naked was already unacceptable, but to have to stand on the street for three days and three nights was even worse.

Her bet was far too vicious.

Huo Xiaoyu: "Jiang Qianyun, you are shameless and vicious. You can even think of something like this. Are you sick in the head?"

Jiang Qianyun: "Huo Xiaoyu, shut up! So what if you become Master Jing's disciple? With your pig brain, you won't be as good as me even in your next life. What right do you have to say I'm sick? You should think carefully about whether you deserve this title."

Huo Linyu said, "I refuse your bet. Miss Song is very grateful that you spoke up for me. Miss Song is a very good person, but this is a matter between my Huo family and my Jiang family. I don't want you to trouble Miss Song."

Song Shuyue: "Okay!"

She would help Huo Linyu stand up, not for any other reason than that she couldn't bear to see such a genius perish.

As for Jiang Qianyun, she had no impact on herself.

"No way! Huo Linyu, why are you being so nosy! This is between her and me. Song Shuyue, you have to make a bet with me. Don't you want a say in the Jingyi Traditional Chinese Medicine Academy? I can give you everything, provided you can help them get back on their feet. But if you lose, the bet continues. How about it?"

Song Yanzhou replied domineeringly, "My sister can have whatever she wants without a bet. She can play if she wants, and she can give up if she doesn't want to."

"you!"

Jiang Qianyun never expected Song Shuyue to go back on her word; this was a golden opportunity for her to redeem herself.

Song Shuyue smiled faintly, her beautiful, cold eyes devoid of any warmth. She said, "Whether Jiang Qianyun continues the bet or not, I will heal his leg. Since you've begged me so much, I can continue the bet with you. But as for taking off your clothes, as a girl, don't you have any moral principles at all? I can agree to your bet, but you need to consider the consequences. If you want to humiliate me, I won't let you off the hook. It's a one-month period. If I win, give me what I want, and you'll kowtow to me and apologize."

Jiang Qianyun was certain that Huo Linyu's leg would not heal, let alone be able to stand up. Even if a god came, it would be impossible.

Because Huo Linyu's leg was treated at her Jiang family hospital.

Jing Yuan gasped. Was this young girl truly impetuous, or was she full of confidence?

He glanced at Huo Linyu, shook his head helplessly, and said that traditional Chinese medicine is not only about high medical skills, but also involves a lot of the magic of fate.

Song Shuyue patted Huo Linyu on the shoulder. "Mr. Huo Linyu, are you willing to believe me? I can heal your leg. If you are willing to believe me, then let me treat you for a month."

Without a second thought, Huo Linyu blurted out, "Okay!"

No one wanted to believe Song Shuyue. She looked so young, how could she possibly have medical skills?

He even boasted that he would cure Huo Linyu's leg, which had not been cured in three years.

Huo's parents looked at each other, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

Huo Xiaoyu's eyes lit up as she looked at Song Shuyue, as if she were looking at a savior.

At that moment, she felt that no one around her was as great as her; she was truly powerful and wonderful.

The scene of her standing up for her older brother really left her heart unsettled for a long time.

so hot!

After the banquet ended, Huo Sijing was the first to stand up and express her disapproval.

“Song Shuyue, I know you were trying to help your brother out of that predicament, but treating an illness is no small matter. You should go and discuss it with the Jiang family and drop the bet.”

Huo's parents nodded and said to her, "Yes, Miss Song, my daughter is right. Treating illness is no small matter."

Even Master Jing couldn't do anything about it, let alone a young girl of eighteen or nineteen.

Song Shuyue: "I never say anything I'm not sure of. If I say something, I will do it."

Huo Sijing bit her lip and said, "Song Shuyue, this is no joke. Do you know that my brother's leg has been numb for three years? You've only been enrolled for a few months, and you probably haven't even mastered the basics of medicine. You want to operate on my brother's leg? Isn't that going too far?"

Huo Linyu is the head of the Huo family and the person in charge of the Huo Group. Although he cannot stand up, he is very capable.

Song Shuyue frowned, a hint of displeasure in her eyes, and said coldly, "Excuse me, miss, I have already obtained your elder brother's consent. I did not coerce or bribe you, so I don't seem to have any obligation to listen to you! If you feel you are too idle, you can go out for a run. Please don't get in my way and bother me here, okay?"

Song Shuyue's words were like resounding slaps landing on her face.

Huo Sijing's face turned pale and then bluish-purple.

Jing Yuan stepped forward, acting like a younger brother, and asked in a low voice, "Girl, are you confident?"

Song Shuyue nodded and slowly leaned down, her fair and slender legs landing on his lap. Huo Linyu's breath hitched, but his heart pounded uncontrollably. He turned his head away in a panic.

Seeing this expression on Huo Linyu, who was usually reserved and self-disciplined, for the first time surprised some people. Song Shuyue was carefully examining his legs and did not notice the change in him.

"Well, it's good that you exercise regularly, so your muscles are still in good shape. I didn't bring my acupuncture needles tonight, Mr. Huo. Are you available? If so, you can come to Elder Jing's courtyard tomorrow. They have everything there."

Huo Linyu: "Convenient, of course convenient. Thank you, Miss Song. I am not one to take advantage of others. I will pay Miss Song for her treatment every day. No matter how much it is, I will never refuse as long as Miss Song asks."

Seeing his serious expression, Song Shuyue felt as if he were saying, "If you don't agree, I won't treat you."

"Alright, then we'll settle the bill once your leg is healed. It's getting late, Mr. Huo, you should get some rest."

Huo Xiaoyu finally got a word in edgewise, immediately jumping out and saying, "Song Shuyue, I'll take you home."

Song Shuyue: "Okay."

Huo Xiaoyu wanted to tell her something because of her pregnancy, but she was a little embarrassed because Song Yanzhou was there.

"Miss Song, I..."

Zhou Yangjun held a bouquet of lucky roses and waited at the Huo family's door.

He was inside too, but he couldn't get a word in edgewise and could only watch them go upstairs in silence.

He really wanted to ask her out for a meal. The weekend was just two days away, and he couldn't stay out of the public eye forever. If things continued like this, Miss Song might even forget who he was.

Now another Huo Linyu has appeared. Huo Linyu is no ordinary man. He was the "other people's child" that his parents always talked about since he was a child. If it weren't for the fact that he lost the ability to walk due to an accident three years ago, he would have paled in comparison to Huo Linyu.

The moment the roses were presented, they met Song Yanzhou's gaze.
