Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

A waitress carrying a tray quickly made her way to the restroom, dumped the contents of the basin, and turned to leave. Just then, another waitress came out of a stall. Catching a whiff of a foul, fishy smell, she couldn't help but grumble.

"What is that? Did someone slaughter a chicken or a pig in the restaurant?"

The waitress holding the basin replied without looking up, "Slaughtering chickens or pigs? I heard it's cancer cells!"

The mention of cancer cells piqued the other waitress's interest.

"Eh? What do you mean, cancer cells? Tell me everything!"

And so, the two waitresses began chatting right there. After talking for quite a while, they finally parted ways. The one with the basin returned to the entrance of the private room to continue waiting, while the other went to the break area and started telling the other servers what she had heard.

The word spread like wildfire. Soon, all the servers in the hotel knew the story: a Divine Doctor was in the building, one who could cure cancer by drawing out the cells with silver needles. It was incredible!

As it happened, Lu Shuangyue was dining in the hotel that day. She overheard the servers talking and couldn't resist moving closer to eavesdrop. When she got the whole story, her eyes lit up.

A Divine Doctor in the hotel? My luck is really looking up! It seems there might be hope for my illness after all.

With this thought, she approached one of the waitresses to press her for more details. Initially, the waitress was disinclined to engage with her, but upon recognizing Lu Shuangyue, she promptly recounted the entire story from beginning to end.

When Lu Shuangyue heard that the Divine Doctor had come with Third Master Zhang, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Third Master Zhang is no ordinary character. Besides, we have business ties. I should definitely pay him a visit.

With this in mind, Lu Shuangyue strode on her long legs toward Third Master Zhang's private room.

At that moment, the room was bustling with lively toasts and conversation. Third Master Zhang had been chatting casually with Liu Ergou, trying to probe for his preferences in order to ingratiate himself. But before he could gather much information, there was a knock on the door. It then swung open, and Lu Shuangyue walked in.

As Lu Shuangyue entered, everyone's gaze involuntarily turned toward her. She was wearing a white dress that hugged her figure, highlighting her curves. Her makeup was subtle, and she wore her hair down, giving her a unique appeal. To complete the look, she wore a pair of white high heels. In that moment, Lu Shuangyue looked like a blooming white lotus—pure and beautiful, yet with an air of aloofness that captivated all who saw her.

Her appearance captured everyone's attention. Of course, this did not include Liu Ergou and Third Master Zhang.

For Liu Ergou, ever since obtaining the legacy, he had been able to perfectly control his emotions. Happiness, anger, sorrow—none of it ever surfaced. Although he was inwardly struck by Lu Shuangyue's appearance that evening, it remained a private thought.

As for Third Master Zhang, the reason was even simpler. With all the power and influence he wielded, he had seen every kind of woman imaginable and had long since become immune to their charms. Just then, his gaze happened to fall upon the expressionless Liu Ergou, and his admiration for the young man grew.

To maintain such composure in this situation… he's truly no ordinary man.

Thinking this, Third Master Zhang withdrew his gaze and greeted Lu Shuangyue with a beaming smile.

"Yo? Boss Lu, what a rare guest! What wind blew you over here today?"

Lu Shuangyue smiled slightly. "Third Master, you flatter me. How could I be a rare guest? In your presence, I am merely a junior." She got straight to the point. "This junior has taken the liberty of coming here today to ask for a favor."

Seeing that Lu Shuangyue was being direct, Third Master Zhang didn't beat around the bush either. "Go ahead, Boss Lu. If there's anything I can do to help, I certainly will!"

Lu Shuangyue immediately replied, "I heard you have a Divine Doctor here with you, Third Master. I was hoping you could introduce me. Would that be possible?"

However, Third Master Zhang didn't agree right away. Instead, he asked, "Why, Boss Lu? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lu Shuangyue didn't answer his question, instead saying, "Please, Third Master, just make the introduction. I will be sure to reward you generously afterward!"

Third Master Zhang waved off the offer of a reward. "You're too kind, Boss Lu. Introducing the Divine Doctor is no big deal. But I have to be clear—I only met him recently myself. I have no idea if he'll agree to help you!"

He then pointed to Liu Ergou beside him. "There. That's the Divine Doctor."

Lu Shuangyue followed his finger. When she saw that he was pointing at Liu Ergou, she couldn't help but gasp.

"AH?! It's you!"

"Yes, it's me. Good evening, President Lu!" Liu Ergou greeted her with a warm smile. "I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon!"

At that, Third Master Zhang caught a very important word in Liu Ergou's greeting.

Again! That means they've met before.

Realizing this, he suddenly felt as if he'd been made a fool of. He couldn't help but say, "Boss Lu, you and my young friend already know each other? You knew him and still asked me for an introduction. Aren't you just toying with me?"

Seeing Third Master Zhang's face darken, Lu Shuangyue quickly explained, "It's like this, Third Master. I've met the Divine Doctor before, but we aren't well acquainted. He came to my shop to sell medicine!"

Understanding dawned on Third Master Zhang's face. "I see!"

Just then, Lu Shuangyue raised her glass and toasted Liu Ergou. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Divine Doctor! A toast to you!"

Liu Ergou said little, simply raising his own glass and lightly clinking it against hers. "The pleasure's mine."

With that, they both drained their glasses.

After finishing her drink, Lu Shuangyue took the initiative to leave. "Well, everyone, I won't disturb you any longer. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be on my way."

As she turned to go, her gaze lingered on Liu Ergou for a long moment. Liu Ergou understood her silent request perfectly. But he didn't nod or say a word; he just watched quietly as she left.

After Lu Shuangyue was gone, the men continued drinking. They drank for a long time, and only when everyone had nearly had their fill did the party finally disperse. Worried for Liu Ergou's safety, Third Master Zhang arranged for someone to escort him home, but Liu Ergou politely declined.

A moment later, Liu Ergou stepped out of the private room and made his way out of the hotel. Just as he was about to pass through the main entrance, a voice called out from behind him. It was Lu Shuangyue, who had hurried to catch up.

"Divine Doctor, wait a moment!"
