Chapter 322: Chapter 322: Cheers_1

Listening to Grandfather’s tone and the meaning of his words, it seemed as if he was trying to find a husband for me.

Gui Ruyun blushed, her heart filled with embarrassment.

In fact, she quite liked Mo Han in her heart. After all, Mo Han was young and rather good-looking, and most importantly, his medical skills were unrivaled in the world; even Grandfather had admitted he was no match for him.

But the man was already married, and he even had children. If I approached him, wouldn’t I be the other woman, destroying Mr. Mo and Mrs. Mo’s marriage?

In reality, Gui Ruyun was overthinking it.

Mo Han had no romantic feelings for Gui Ruyun; he simply wanted to use Gui Ruyun to shield himself from trouble.

He couldn’t help it. He was on very good terms with Wen Biyu, and he had just acknowledged Zhou Yutong as his sister. Now there was only one chair left next to him. It would be uncomfortable to favor one over the other—it was better to find someone with whom he had a more distant relationship.

"Alright."

Gui Ruyun came to terms with the situation quickly. It was just a meal, not going to bed.

Saying this, she walked briskly to Mo Han’s right side and sat down.

Gui Nongsang stroked his beard, maintaining a calm expression, yet inside, his heart was churning tumultuously.

In terms of appearance and figure, Ru Yun was not inferior to the four young ladies from the prominent families.

In terms of status, although his granddaughter came from a humble background, over the years, he had treated many nobles and important people, many of whom owed him favors. It wouldn’t be difficult to gain a position by acknowledging a big shot from Dragon City or Feng City as a godfather.

In terms of ability, his granddaughter’s medical skills were definitely top-notch among her peers.

Mr Mo had superb medical skills and even mastered the profound technique of Qi-control Needling. If his granddaughter could become Mr. Mo’s woman, she would surely gain many learning opportunities.

In just a few years, she might even surpass his own senior brother Xue.

Of course, Gui Nongsang had his own agenda in doing this.

On one hand, his granddaughter had devoted all her time to studying and practicing medicine over the years and hadn’t had time to date. She set her sights high, and the average young noblemen simply didn’t catch her eye. The only time her eyes shone was when she looked at Mr. Mo.

The old man had been young once and knew what that light in his granddaughter’s eyes meant; it was admiration, it was infatuation.

Mr. Mo was not only skilled in medicine, but he also had an excellent character. Having such a man as Ru Yun’s husband, he felt quite reassured.

On the other hand, Gui Nongsang also wanted to climb up the big tree that was Mo Han through his granddaughter.

His internal organs were severely damaged, and he didn’t have many months left to live. Yet at this time, Mr. Mo had refined the Qiankun Elixir. If he could get one from Mr. Mo, there might be a real chance to cure his illness.

Seeing that his own granddaughter had not succeeded, Zhou Zhishan and Wen Tianning sat down with a slight irritation, though they didn’t say anything.

Despite being old, Physician Gui usually kept to himself and had no obvious backers.

But those who knew him were aware that Physician Gui’s network spanned top cities in Jiuzhou like Dragon City and Feng City, and he had countless connections with high officials and nobles. The old physician was not someone to be trifled with.

This time, Zhu Wenjin didn’t choose to push his granddaughter forward, instead opting to act cautiously, staying quietly aside.

After all, it was Xiuli’s first time meeting Mr. Mo. Being a girl, if she came across as too forceful, she would inevitably displease Mr. Mo.

Facts proved that Zhu Wenjin indeed made the right move.

Wen Biyu and Zhou Yutong were already enough of a headache for him. If Zhu Xiuli was added to the mix, his head would surely explode.

Seeing everyone seated, Mo Han stood up of his own accord, cup in hand, and said with a slight smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am hosting this banquet today partly to thank you all for your care during this time, and partly to repay you for your kindness."

"As I’ve said before, it’s utterly improper for me, the host, to have arrived late. I must drink a penalty of three cups."

With that, he downed the wine in his glass in one gulp without pausing.

"Good!"

Old Tang rose to applaud first, and the rest of the people also stood up and clapped, cheering him on.

After one cup, Mo Han was about to drink the second when Old Tang spoke up, "Brother Mo, drinking alone like this is too dull."

"Come, I’ll drink one with you, Brother Mo. If it weren’t for you, I would be drinking with the King of Hell by now..."

Zhou Zhishan followed suit, "Right! Brother Mo cannot drink this cup alone. If it weren’t for Mr. Mo’s help, I would’ve probably been killed by Nie Kuangtu by now. Here, include me too."

Wen Tianning smiled and stood up with his cup in hand, "I too would like to toast Mr. Mo. If Mr. Mo had not taken action at Renkang Hospital, our Shan Shan might not have escaped death."

Seeing that the three family heads had made their moves, Zhu Wenjin was a bit panicked and quickly stood up, sincerely speaking, "As the saying goes, there’s no acquaintance without a fight. I have failed to discipline my child, so this cup is to apologize to Mr. Mo..."

The heads of the Four Great Families from Jiangling City were toasting Mo Han consecutively, which would be unbelievable to anyone in Jiangling City if the word got out.

Yet all of this was truly unfolding.

Old Master Gui Nongsang also joined in, "Mr. Mo’s medical skills are extraordinary, and his unique skill of Qi-control Needling is unmatched in the world. I admire him greatly. This cup is my toast to Mr. Mo."

With so many people offering toasts, Mo Han was a bit overwhelmed. He simply raised his cup and suggested, "In that case, why don’t we all drink this cup together?"

"Alright, cheers!"

Everyone nodded, sipped the wine in their cups, but didn’t finish it; they all kept their eyes on Mo Han.

Mo Han, just like before, downed it in one gulp. The 54-degree vintage Moutai was indeed a bit spicy on the throat.

He cleared his throat and set down the cup, while taking out a white jade vase from his breast pocket.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Qiankun Elixir that I have refined!"
