Yaoyao looked at the air exuding from his bones and couldn’t help scoffing, "Seeing him today, the aura of a nouveau riche is even stronger!"
Only Chu Ge heard Yaoyao’s words. He didn’t speak and glanced lightly at Lin before indifferently shifting his gaze away.
Mimi whispered something into Lin’s ear. Lin promptly noticed Chu Ge’s presence, a hint of contempt on his lips, and then he patted Mimi on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort.
He stepped forward and respectfully said to Shen Fang, "Grandpa, I came to see you."
Honestly, Shen Fang didn’t have a good impression of Lin. He felt that Lin did not possess the demeanor or elegance associated with the upper class; he dressed every day like a nouveau riche, seemingly afraid that others wouldn’t recognize his wealth.
Only Mimi and Shen Tong treated him like a treasure.
Shen Fang just hummed softly without continuing the conversation.
Shen Tong stood up enthusiastically, "Lin, come sit, why are you so late today? I heard before you have friends from Shanghai coming over? Have they arrived?"
Shen Tong casually glanced at Chu Ge and smiled, "I heard he’s the head of a bank in Shanghai? Something Tianrui Bank, right?"
Lin had a smug look on his face, he nodded and said proudly, "Yes, Tianrui Bank indeed."
Chu Ge raised an eyebrow in surprise looking at Lin, "You mean Zhao Wuji from Tianrui Bank?"
Lin looked at him unexpectedly, a hint of mockery in his eyes, "Of course, how could you not know him?"
Chu Ge uttered an "oh," quite indifferently nodding, "I know him; I owed him money before, and he never asked for it back. I still owe him a favor."
"..." Lin was taken aback, looking at him as if seeing a monster, "You know Zhao Wuji?"
Chu Ge confirmed nonchalantly, while Yaoyao also nodded lightly on the side.
"Of course I know him, how could that be false?" Yaoyao had personally witnessed Zhao Wuji and Chu Ge greeting each other. Although they weren’t close, at least a greeting was exchanged, so they must know each other.
Upon hearing this, Lin felt his triumphant air stirred up by Chu Ge, and he looked at Chu Ge somewhat unexpectedly, "In that case, Mr. Chu, why don’t you join us for dinner at Zuixian Inn tonight? I was planning to meet Zhao Wuji there. Also, Mimi should come along, you guys were hoping to leverage connections to secure a bank loan in Shanghai, this could be a good opportunity."
This was a rare opportunity for him to show off in front of the Shen family members.
Upon hearing Lin’s words, Shen Fang’s look towards him improved significantly, "Thank you then, Lin."
Lin smiled, "Grandpa, there’s no need for thanks, it’s my duty."
Shen Hua also seemed elated because of Lin’s words, feeling proud that his daughter’s son-in-law was bringing him honor.
In front of the eldest, he got to hold his head high and chest out.
Chu Ge sat there silently, his gaze fixated on Shen Fang, he had noticed the precarious state of Shen Fang’s health during their conversation.
Sensing Chu Ge’s gaze, Shen Fang as if understanding his thoughts, chuckled lightly, waved his hand, and sighed, "It’s just an old ailment, don’t worry."
He felt rather fortunate for his illness because it was this that made Yaoyao willing to come back.
"Old Master, do you have tuberculosis?" Chu Ge frowned; he had been observing Shen Fang, it seemed like tuberculosis, yet felt slightly off.
Su Fanglan intervened, "It’s tuberculosis, but because Old Master accidentally swallowed some hard objects when he was young, which might not have been cleared completely, it has now relapsed."
Chu Ge uttered an "oh" and sat there without saying more.
Yaoyao had heard before that Chu Ge had once cured Mr. Ouyang, she unconsciously believed his medical skills were superb. So she turned towards him and asked, "Chu Ge, could you have a look at my grandpa?"
Because of Sisi’s remark, everyone’s attention at the moment turned to Chu Ge, all curiously watching him.
Even Shen Fang looked at him unexpectedly, "You know medical skills?"
Chu Ge nodded and humbly responded, "A little bit."
Mimi pursed her lips, thinking that knowing medical skills was no big deal; experts had failed to cure her grandpa, what could he really do?
"Grandpa, I heard Doctor Zhang Chenggong from Shanghai has recently arrived in Su City, and he hasn’t left yet. Why don’t we invite him to see you?"
Mimi reluctantly queried, yet her heart was pounding; she didn’t actually know any Zhang Chenggong, this was something she had just heard Lin casually mention.
But since Lin had already offered to connect them with Zhao Wuji from Shanghai, asking for another favor now seemed...
At this moment, Lin also tactfully remained silent, trying to lower his own presence. He knew Mimi was banking on the bluff he had made earlier, but he didn’t actually know any Zhang Chenggong; he was just a cab driver speaking offhand, fortunate enough to have given him a ride.
"Are you talking about Dr. Zhang Chenggong from Shanghai? Really? Mimi, when did you meet such an important person?"
"Just that, Mimi, if you knew such a distinguished person, why not tell us earlier? Your grandpa would have suffered less!"
Mimi felt embarrassed by everyone’s comments, her pleading eyes looking towards Lin, hoping he would take the initiative to speak, but Lin seemed as if he hadn’t noticed her glance, lowering his head.
Chu Ge saw this and roughly understood, "I could ask Zhang Chenggong to come and take a look at you."
After saying that, Chu Ge took out his phone and called Zhang Chenggong, only to find out he had gone to the neighboring city for a meeting and would be available only tomorrow.
From the side, Mimi scoffed, mocking, "Actually, if you can’t help, no need to force it, saying he’s only available tomorrow, who would believe that. Sometimes claiming to know Zhao Wuji, other times saying you know Zhang Chenggong, Yaoyao, wouldn’t your boyfriend also know someone from the Ouyang family?"
Chu Ge glanced at her indifferently; he did not have a habit of arguing with women. If others didn’t believe his words, he wouldn’t explain much, as seeing is believing; Zhang Chenggong’s personal visit tomorrow would be the best proof.
But Yaoyao didn’t think so, "Don’t even mention it, he actually does know someone from the Ouyang family!"
"Pfft! Hahaha," Lin burst into mocking laughter.
Mimi also laughed uncontrollably, "Since it’s , might as well wait until we meet Zhao Wuji tonight then talk about it."
