Chapter 228: Sure to Die!
Everyone was focusing on Liang Xiaotang, waiting for him to diagnose the elder's condition.
About ten minutes later, Liang Xiaotang finally stopped diagnosing and turned to the crowd with a smile on his face:
"The elder is not seriously harmed. He simply has accumulated blood stasis within his body. The blood stasis is not dissipating, causing inflammation. In a moment, I will prescribe some medicine for him, and after taking it for a few days, he will be better."
"How could there be blood stasis in the elder's body?" Yu Mingxiang asked, frowning.
The crowd also looked at each other, confused about what had happened.
"It could be due to him falling down the stairs some time ago," said Yu Zhixun's wife suddenly in a low voice.
"Falling down the stairs? When did this happen, and why didn't you mention it sooner?" Yu Xiatang exclaimed angrily.
If they had known about the condition earlier, perhaps things wouldn't have come to this.
"I asked the elder at the time, and he himself said it was nothing. So of course, I thought it was nothing. How can you blame me?" Yu Zhixun's wife said, indignant.
"You!" Yu Xiatang pointed at the woman, too angry to speak.
The elder said it was nothing, perhaps because he himself had not realized the severity of the problem. But you didn't follow up afterwards, that's your lack of care, and you still say it's none of your business?
Hao Jian shook his head too, the troubles of wealthy families, indeed.
"Doctor Liang has already said the elder is fine, why are you still fussing about it?" Yu Zhixun said impatiently, standing up to defend his wife.
Yu Xiatang's face turned ashen, and he stayed silent, deeply disappointed in Yu Zhixun. His wife was an outsider after all, but that his own son could be like this...
"Doctor Liang, we owe you a great debt this time. You truly live up to the reputation as the successor to Liang Wangsun. So many doctors have said there was no remedy for the illness, yet you managed to prescribe just the right medicine to cure it."
Yu Zhixun couldn't help but flatter loudly, now that the elder was no longer in danger of dying, the power of the Yu Family would continue.
"It's a trifle, hardly worth mentioning. Yu Jiayi and I are friends, and it is only right for friends to help each other out, don't you think, Jiayi?" Liang Xiaotang said with a smile, his gaze on Yu Jiayi full of undisguised admiration.
"Yes. Right," Yu Jiayi said, looking somewhat uncomfortable.
At this moment, Yu Mingxiang's gaze also flickered, as if pondering over something.
"The successor to Liang Wangsun? How laughable. If Liang Wangsun himself knew he had such a successor, he would probably be angered to death right then and there," Hao Jian ridiculed.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Liang Xiaotang looked visibly upset, as this was the first time someone had insulted him like this.
Because whenever he was called the successor to Liang Wangsun, Liang Xiaotang always felt as if Liang Wangsun was first in the world and he was second. Gradually, he began to get carried away. But Hao Jian's words were like a direct stab at his Achilles' heel.
"You dare to speak to Doctor Liang like this? Who do you think you are? Get out!" Yu Zhixun directly scolded without courtesy.
"Hao Jian, don't talk nonsense," Yu Xiatang also frowned, not wanting Hao Jian to cause trouble now when his father's health entirely depended on Liang Xiaotang.
"What's the matter? Jealous because someone's medical skills are superior to yours?" Yu Jiayi mocked, to her, Hao Jian seemed just to be throwing a tantrum out of jealousy.
"His medical skills are superior to mine? Hahaha."
Hao Jian couldn't stop laughing, his waist almost unable to straighten. If Liang Xiaotang's medical skills were better than his, he would dare to chop off his own head and let Liang Xiaotang kick it around like a ball!
"Do you really think your medical skills are better than mine? I hold dual doctoral degrees in medicine and biology, graduated from Harvard University. And you? What do you have?"
Liang Xiaotang looked at Hao Jian with disdain. Just an itinerant doctor, and he dared to look down on a highly educated graduate?
"I have nothing, no medical license, and no degrees. But so what? Wasn't Liang Wangsun also without anything? Yet didn't he still become the foremost person in the medical field?" Hao Jian retorted.
"Liang Wangsun is Liang Wangsun; you think you can compare yourself with him? Laughable!" Liang Xiaotang said with scorn.

"Enough, stop arguing. Just have someone throw this ignorant brat out quickly; save us from his nonsense," Yu Zhixun said, waving his hand impatiently.
"You can ask me to leave, but if the old master dies, that will be on you," Hao Jian said expressionlessly.
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear Doctor Liang just say the old master is fine? Die? It seems like you deliberately want to curse our old man to death," Yu Zhixun's wife also muttered discontentedly.
A group of people immediately glared at Hao Jian with anger, wishing they could flay him alive.
"You say the old master is fine?" Hao Jian sneered, looking towards Liang Xiaotang.
"Yes, with my prescription, within three days, the old master will definitely recover!" Liang Xiaotang replied confidently. He had made a thorough diagnosis just now, sure there were no mistakes.
"Oh? Then I say, within three days, the old master will undoubtedly die!" Hao Jian stated.
"Guards, give this punk a good beating and throw him out of the Yu Family!" Yu Zhixun was completely enraged and called for the guards to come in.
At this moment, Yu Mingxiang and Yu Xiatang could not help but frown, wondering what Hao Jian was really up to.
"Wait!" Yu Xiatang shouted, then quickly stepped towards Hao Jian and said gravely:
"Hao Jian, this is no joking matter. If you said this out of a momentary impulse, then I hope you will leave right now."
"Uncle Yu, do you think I would joke about the old master's life?" Hao Jian responded with a bitter smile.
Yu Xiatang's brows furrowed even more; he knew Hao Jian was not someone to speak without a sense of proportion.
"Who knows you? Maybe you are just feeling upset and want to stir up trouble on purpose?" Yu Jiayi snorted, then spoke to Yu Xiatang:
"Uncle, surely you don't trust this media-proclaimed divine doctor, Liang Xiaotang, over such an itinerant doctor?"
Yu Xiatang's frown deepened further.
"Well, since you all seem to trust what he says, then I shall take my leave," Liang Xiaotang said, as he got up pretentiously to leave.
"Doctor Liang, please wait." Yu Xiatang quickly spoke up to keep him, seemingly reluctant to give up on this divine doctor.
"I can stay, but I must have this kid disappear immediately," Liang Xiaotang said, pointing at Hao Jian, sneering inwardly:
Fight with me? You're still too green!
Immediately, Yu Xiatang looked at Hao Jian somewhat apologetically: "I'm sorry, Hao Jian, I cannot joke with the old master's life."
In the end, Yu Xiatang still chose to trust Liang Xiaotang.
