Chapter 50 - 50 50 Prominent Clans of Chinese Medicine

50: Chapter 50: Prominent Clans of Chinese Medicine 50: Chapter 50: Prominent Clans of Chinese Medicine “My sister has been wandering alone for many years, lacking discipline, and with a stubborn temperament, which must have been amusing to elder brother Hua.” Shen Huanian, taunted by Xia Chenyu, was full of suppressed anger. Upon hearing the man in the Tang attire inquire, he had to restrain his ire and managed to squeeze out a strained smile. “If I had such a beautiful and ethereal sister, I would be too busy cherishing and caring for her, how could I bear to reprimand her? No offense, brother Shen, but your brotherly duties are seriously lacking!” The man in the Tang attire, with a hearty laugh, walked up to Xia Chenyu and reached out to her proactively: “Hello, sister Chenyu, my name is Hua Yi. I am a good friend of your brother.” As Hua Yi spoke, his eyes were fixed intently on Xia Chenyu, sharp as if they could see through one’s heart, emanating an imposing aura. This aura imposed great pressure on Xia Chenyu, making even her breathing momentarily stifled. Fang Bai cast a thoughtful glance at Hua Yi. As soon as Hua Yi entered the “Plum Blossom Hall,” he knew this man was not only a martial artist but also an exceedingly arrogant one. However, Hua Yi’s strength was only comparable to the two Shaolin Monks who had challenged him some days before, so Fang Bai did not take him seriously. “Shen Huanian, what’s the meaning of bringing this person here?” Ignoring Hua Yi, Xia Chenyu sat motionless, her gaze coldly fixed on Shen Huanian as she asked expressionlessly.

Hua Yi’s outstretched hand froze mid-air, a cold and sharp light flitting across his eyes before he laughed out loud: “Good, a woman with personality, I like that!” Shen Huanian also laughed, saying, “Chenyu, if I remember correctly, you should be twenty-four this year, right?” Xia Chenyu looked at him coldly, silent. Seemingly anticipating Xia Chenyu’s indifference, Shen Huanian continued: “Twenty-four is not young for a woman, and it’s an age when one can consider marriage.” Xia Chenyu’s eyebrows lifted slightly but still, she remained silent. Shen Huanian spoke with feigned concern: “Chenyu, father may be thousands of miles away, but he is always worried about your affairs. He says that even if you can’t resolve your grievances for the time being and are unwilling to return to the Shen Family, wandering alone is ultimately no solution. He sincerely hopes that you can find a good man and have a proper place to call home.” “He, Shen Dongyang, needn’t bother himself.” Xia Chenyu gestured towards Fang Bai, her face softening as she said, “I’ve already found a good man.” “I’ve said before, he’s not worthy of you!” Shen Huanian looked at Fang Bai with disdain, “You are a woman of the Shen Family, your man must be evenly matched with our Shen Family!” “So this is the real purpose of Shen Dongyang sending you to find me, isn’t it?” Suddenly, Xia Chenyu burst into a “giggle,” her laughter tremulous, and pointing at Shen Huanian, she said, “Hehe, to acknowledge my ancestry and return to the Shen Family, then, under the Shen Family’s arrangements, marry the son of some Prominent Clan to form a family alliance and secure benefits for the Shen Family. The Shen Family is playing a game of chess, and I’m just a pawn… tsk tsk, what a shrewd calculation by the Shen Family!” Shen Huanian’s face darkened as he said, “Securing benefits for the clan is the duty of every Shen Family offspring! Being part of the Shen Family, you should fulfill your responsibilities and obligations!” “Please, my last name is Xia, not Shen. I have nothing to do with the Shen family, so why should I seek benefits for the Shen Family? Stop flattering yourself!” “Chenyu, wait until I finish speaking, then it’s not too late for you to express your opinion.” Without waiting for Xia Chenyu to speak, Shen Huanian pointed at Hua Yi and said with a smile, “You must have heard of ‘Rejuvenation Hall,’ right? This Mr. Hua Yi here is the grandson of Hua Chun, the elder of Rejuvenation Hall.” “Rejuvenation Hall?” Xia Chenyu paused for a moment and then began to really look at Hua Yi. Hua Yi puffed out his chest, a smile on his face that he thought could charm thousands of women. Some say that in today’s world, where Western medicine dominates and traditional Chinese medicine is gradually declining, it is institutions like ‘Rejuvenation Hall’ and a few other traditional Chinese medical families that uphold the last dignity of Chinese medicine. Some even say that it is precisely because of the existence of these traditional Chinese medical families and their tireless efforts in promotion and advocacy that Chinese medicine still holds a seat in the world of medicine. Otherwise, traditional Chinese medicine in Huaxia might be even more decrepit than it is now. The doctors who emerged from these prominent Chinese medical families are also among the best in the field of Chinese medicine, shining in their respective positions and struggling for the rejuvenation and rise of Chinese medicine. In the hearts of traditional Chinese medicine scholars in Huaxia, these major medical families are like holy temples, and many doctors take pride in working at the medical halls established by these prominent clans. The heads of these major Chinese medical families, steeped in medicinal skills for decades, are individuals of exquisite medical skill and highly esteemed virtues, considered the leading authorities in the Huaxia traditional Chinese medicine community. Their reputations have even spread overseas, and many patients travel thousands of miles, flying over continents, to seek their medical expertise. Most importantly, these major Chinese medical families don’t just hold an unshakable position in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, but also in the beauty industry. Take ‘Rejuvenation Hall,’ for example, an age-old traditional Chinese medical family that has passed down countless mysterious traditional Chinese beauty remedies. They have earned substantial profits through collaboration with some well-known domestic beauty companies using these remedies. There is a saying within the Huaxia beauty industry: a single beauty remedy from ‘Rejuvenation Hall’ can revive a beauty company on the verge of bankruptcy or rapidly elevate an obscure beauty company. For this reason, ‘Rejuvenation Hall’ has become an entity that all major beauty companies in the country try to curry favor with. Maintaining a good relationship with ‘Rejuvenation Hall’ is a top priority in the external affairs of these beauty companies. No wonder Hua Yi maintains such a supercilious posture before Xia Chenyu—as the grandson of the current Family Head of ‘Rejuvenation Hall,’ Hua Chun, he indeed possesses the status and confidence to do so. After all, ‘Beauty Company’ is just a very small beauty company, and as the CEO of this company, Xia Chenyu, who wants to grow and expand her company, should indeed seek his favor. “Brother Hua is the grandchild most valued by Elder Hua. His medical skills have directly descended from Elder Hua, and he is considered the foremost among the young generation in the Huaxia traditional Chinese medicine community…” Shen Huanian spared no effort in praising Hua Yi, and seeing a hint of surprise on Xia Chenyu’s face, he couldn’t help but sneer inwardly. “Brother Hua is young and promising, a true gentleman. In the future, the heavy responsibility of being the Family Head of ‘Rejuvenation Hall’ will surely fall upon him… Chenyu, don’t you want to make your ‘Beauty Company’ a well-known enterprise in the beauty industry? Now there’s a perfect opportunity, it just depends on whether you know how to seize it… You and Brother Hua should interact more in the future…” Although Shen Huanian didn’t state it outright, his meaning was very clear—Hua Yi was a catch worth pursuing, and if Xia Chenyu could snag him, leveraging the power of ‘Rejuvenation Hall’ behind him, Beauty Company could grow and prosper.
